A new beginning...

Hey girl, I have to admit I haven't read your journal all weekend. I was up to my neck in rental property and I have a really busy morning, but I'll be sure to catch up and post this afternoon after my preschoolers leave!
Too bad we're not on the same challenge team. :( But maybe it will motivate us to have a little friendly competition between us! I weighed in at 154 this morning. Okay, back later. :D

Kate, thanks girl!! :) Y'know what.. I'm going to do just that, hit that ellipitical(sp) for 60 minutes, just so I can log on here and PM you about it!!! :D Yeah that's my goal for today. not to let Kate down!!
 
Kate, hey..glad to hear it. that's one person down!! :D

Ok, gotta vent, this is totally NWR (Not Weight-loss Related), but oy! my office, I swear makes me want to pull my hair out at times. We just invested in a very expensive new copier/scanner/fax/printer that we desperately needed. This is a networked piece of equipment. I scheduled a special appt, with the company to have them come in and set up the networking portion of it, since neither myself nor my employer (who handles our peer-to-peer network currently) could figure out how to get it to function.

So, the tech came today, and my boss decides he's going to jump in and "help out".. so he winds up not listening to the tech and blowing the ethernet port!! :eek: So that whole piece has to be replaced because he didn't bother to believe or listen to the technician! OMG! :)
Other little annoyances ... no one in my office but me can apparently change a roll of toliet paper!! I kid you not. I work with 3-4 other individuals, and it seems I'm the lucky person to walk in there when they've set down a NEW roll on top of the empty one. How hard is it to just switch them out?! Nor can they wash their own coffee mugs.. I swear.. I think I"m working with a bunch of toddlers. Alas.
So... anyhow.. Just my little vent for the day..

Sorry about your boss wrecking the copier and your toddler collegues. Hope you have a great work out though.
 
Maybe you should make a diagram of how to properly change the toilet paper roll and then tape it to the bathroom wall, so they all know how to do it! lol, maybe then they'd get the point.
 
Good for you!

Hey, I know you can do what it takes to get you where you wanna be. You know what they say one day at a time and of course it is like that. I am proud of you and remember sweat and sweat it takes time. Good Luck!!
 
Ugh! All these external forces like work when all we want is to be able to focus on losing weight! I tell you.

You're doing great! I'm glad we're on the same team.

LOL!! :D Sorry that is HILAROUS, and believe me it IS very tempting!! Sad thing is, I can almost excuse my boss, who's wife does EVERYTHING for him, but outside of that, my female co-worker has no excuse! Lol.. maybe I ought to tape up a note there, and one at the kitchen sink that says "Please wash all dishes you've used and place in drying rack, Thank you.-Your friendly office maid" :rolleyes:
 
Cherly and M02, thank you for the supportive words. You guys are going to keep me right on my path today. :) I shouldn't skip breakfast, but I was experimenting, to eat today ONLY when I finally felt hungry. That wasn't until 11:30!! So again I'm going to see if I can hold out from here until dinner time and eat something small. This ought to make up a little bit for this weekend! ;)

ROFL! That is so funny! You should do it! Most of them would probably be like "hmmm...I didn't know we had a maid...."
 
hey! just checking in to see how you are doing. i saw that you are experimenting to see when hunger will strike. i've done that before and truthfully, i am never hungry for breakfast (but i make myself have something) and then it is challenging b/c the hunger definitely creeps back once that metabolism gets going..maybe try that and see...have a small breakfast, lots of water and see when you get hungry next....if you are testing your body! :) good luck with the challenge. i'll be keeping an eye on you!
 
That probably IS what they'd say. Honestly.. I've even attempted to leave their dirty coffee mugs and dishes in the sink, and they will sit there until our cleaning staff comes once a week!! And even they don't clean the dishes well, they'res always residue at the bottom! :eek: Alas.. The prices of the other companies, was too high so our boss wouldn't let us change! Blah.. some days I'd like to walk out and not come back.. Oy!!

Now I wonder what would happen if I hid all the replacement rolls of TP?? :D Would anyone complain?! Mmm.

Kate I made it!!! I did 60 minutes, all thanks to you! OMG I so wanted to stop, 25 minutes in and I thought to myself, "I can't, I PROMISED Kate I would do this, I am not going to log on there and enter in my diary and let her down, or fib about it!!" So seriously, I kept repeating to myself, I told Kate I was going to do it.. I said I would do it. I grabbed a magazine to read and it really wasn't that bad. but I've never spent that long ont eh ellipitical ! It said I burned 750 calories :eek: but somehow I highly doubt that is accurat!! lol still nice to SEE it there!! :) Woohoo.. Thanks this is totally the boost I needed to start my week..and the challenge!! :D

ROFL!! OMG, 2 funny! My mama just went through the SAME thing at her office! What she did worked:

Sponge (w/ pic) + dish soap (w/ pc) = no more dirties in your dishies (w/ pic of dirty dishes and flies with a line through it)

She wrote it in BRIGHT red on NEON yellow paper. She laminated it and duct taped it to the wall!!! LOL Boy, the lawyers really got the hint! hehehehe

Your boss sounds kind of..... special :rolleyes: LOL

Keep up the good work and grab an elliptical for me! I am an elliptical junky but the gym is too far away to make it worth the drive :( (over an hour for the closest gym)..... Hope the ditsy co-workers get it together soon, for your sanity's sake :D
