A brand new start

Mondays are always so stressful and today was no different! Pajama Day at preschool. Usually a very fun day, but the kiddos were so "out of sorts" without their real clothes that it made it a very hard day. Nobody was listening!!! M&M's to soothe my pain! (tsk, tsk.) Will have to exercise after kids are in bed!

Wednesday evening and I am finally getting to the computer...

Thanks, Jennifer, for checking in on me! That means a lot to me.

I'm just in a few days of being in a "funk." DH and I just found out where we will be moving to this summer and it is taking a little time and brain power to "wrap my mind around" the idea.

Of course, when I'm in a "funk" cooking (especially healthy foods) is low on my list. Laundry and bedmaking also become unnecessary. Exercising isn't happening (of course, I don't usually exercise on Mondays, anyway) and I'm self-medicating with lots of diet soda (instead of water) and foods I shouldn't eat.
Not to make myself sound like I've fallen head first from the wagon...it isn't that bad! I just know that I need to get all the "ducks in a row" and then I will be okay.

2 whole wheat waffles
butter
squirt of lite syrup
1/4 cup oj

garlic and cheese bread
diet cherry pepsi

fettucini and meat sauce
garlic and cheese bread
2 chocolate caramel cookies (I'd share the recipe, but, well... ;))
diet cherry pepsi

2 chocolate caramel cookies

taco bake
water

not sure about exercise... I might still sneak some in...

Saturday... Just got back from my neice's first birthday party. Had a good time. Haven't forgotten about you, Diet Pals; just busy. Still a little "funkish," but I'm almost over it. Hopefully, I didn't throw too many pounds!

Scrappy we all go through these stages hon,..it will pass, just take your time an be extra kind and patient with yourself.
 
Thanks, Jennifer! I'm doing better. Actually, things are just busy now. I've only gotten to exercise once this week because I've been gone or ill. (Remind me to tell you bout my new "Most Embarrassing Moment.") I'm trying to get the water drinking back and I'm gonna exercise this evening.

I am up to my eyeballs as well, :eek: ,..but loving it!!!!!...but always here to support you on. Hope you had a nice mommy's day.
 
Well, obviously I'm all about being funky, but not funkish. I hope you're starting to feel better. Once you get those "ducks in a row," things will fall into place. Um, by the way, chocolate caramel cookies sound sooo good. :) Sometimes we're just too busy to be perfect, but little bumps in the road don't have to mean falling off the wagon, just that the ride is a little bumpy. I know you can get back into the groove though. I want to hear your new most embarassing moment! I have a pretty good new one I should post in my diary...
 
Me Too!! Me Too! What happend?? I'll tell you one of my embarressing moments if it makes you feel better!

My husband and I had split up for 4 months (this was before we were married obviously) and money was getting tight, SOO I decided to have a garage sale to help bring in the dough...I had lots of stuff sitting out, many were gifts from my husband and his family. But hey I thought we were done with so no biggie, right? Then, I heard a car pull up, looked outside to see My mother in law, father in law, and grandmother all looking at all the things I had set out! Oh, I wanted to die right there!

Enough about me, I hope your feeling better!

They should have been gracious given ya $100.00 and ask if you would make up with their son!!!!...lol
 
Jennifer, Newbride, and Fuunkymonk... Thank you for your posts! You really put a smile on my face today!
Jennifer, I did have a nice Mother's Day. The boys gave me flowers and cards. We went to a friend's mom's house. It was a bbq and I really felt like I could sit around and do nothing. The kids played out back and the gals sat around with beverages and magazines and remote controls! Pretty nice day.
Fuunky, I think you described my latest "funk", "funkish" not "funky" and this is a bumpy part of the road, not a trip off the wagon (althoug my feet have dangled over the edge for a few days).
Newbride, that was a very emabarassing moment! I'm with Jennifer in hopes that they were gracious!
So, here is the moment you have been waiting for...
Saturday evening DH and I were invited to dinner by a friend of his that I've only met once before. He and his wife, his sister and her husband, and his brother were all going to Universal (theme park) and would we meet them at City Walk for dinner? (City Walk is an area outside of the theme park that has "theme" restaurants and bars and shops.) We went to eat at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. The dinner was good. The restaurant was very "fun," men on stilts, Jimmy Buffet concert clips on huge screens, music, good food.
Well, when we left the house I had a headache. Throughout dinner my headache got worse. The food smells, the motion on the screens, etc. I ate dinner (1/2 a chicken club wrap and half the fries and a raspberry margaritia), but by the end of dinner I had to go to the bathroom just to escape the room. I couldn't finish the margarita and I didn't want dessert. I just wanted to leave. I went outside and sat on a bench while everyone else finished up.
We started back toward the front of the park and suddenly I felt ill, very ill. Now, I'm looking for a bathroom, but I can't talk because I'm sure that if I do, I'll throw up. I'm really embarassad, so I head over to the back of a restaurant, Emirill's. Nice bank of windows so guests can look out and a large hedge. Yup, I barf in the hedges.
UGH! Of course, everyone is concerned about me and they feel badly. (Not as badly as I...)
Now you guys may have guessed that I'd probably barf, but I'm not a brafer. I don't like barfing and I thought if I just didn't let myself do it, it wouldn't happen, so I'm even more embarassed!
Moments later I find a bunch of public restrooms and the First Aid station. I wash up and get some Pepto. I only hope I didn't earn myself any ugly nicknames or elbow poking amongst hubby's friends!
Ugh! just typing this is making me cringe!
Gotta go pick up the preschooler!
 
Ahhhhh funky, well at least it was a second impression, not a first,...and you only had 1/2 marg,..if you had 4 or 5 they might talking. I think they all probably feel really bad for you.

I on the other hand have done the first impression, 4 margaritias,...porceline bowl hug,...and then he still married me....hahahahahha :eek: :D :rolleyes:

Jennifer, Too funny! It must be true love!!! ;)
Newbride, I can only hope they forgot it already!
Well, we got into town last night. We drove up to see the town we will be moving to later this summer. Nice enough. House hunting was exhausting. We are looking for a house with 3 bedrooms, a living room and a family room. It is proving somewhat difficult. Lots of roomy houses with 3 bedrooms and a great room, but not too many with a family room and a living room. Hmph. (Gotta have someplace to put all the toys!)
As for dieting...
It has been rough. With this upcoming move I'm finding myself in the car for 7 hours driving to the new place or on a plane for graduation. It sure is hard to lose weight while eating the whole weekend at a fast food joint or forgoing exercise. I'm focusing on doing the best I can. My life is just a giant "bumpy road" right now. I need to keep up my good habits, but cut myself a little slack!
Luckily, when I hopped on the scale this morning, I'm weighing in at 177. That is the same I weighed last week, but still a few pounds up from my low of 175. Not too bad. I"m okay with "maintaining" for a few weeks while we sort all this new stuff out!
Thanks, for all your support! I'm not sure I'd even be here if it weren't for you guys!
