Baby, the stars shine bright. (Paper Moon's Diary)

Paper Moon, the first thing you need to do is talk to your bank!! Let them know that you're having problems. Most banks are willing to work with people to keep their house. Cause if you're not making the mortgage payments, then they're not getting any money. They have a lot of incentive to keep you in that house. PM me if you need any other advice about it. (Used to work for a bank)
 
Sorry for the few days absence!! It's been interesting.

I've been meeting with countless "credit counselors" and mortgage specialists. Right now I have an application out for something that MIGHT help me. I pray it does. I pray I even get it! Keep fingers crossed for me if you can <3

It's HOT. So hot that people around here are actually getting sick! I have one AC unit in my condo, and it's in my bedroom. So as long as I stay in here, I wont die. :p That's all well and good, but important things like the toilet and refridgerator are out THERE.... in the dreaded hot rooms! It's literally like walking into a brick wall when I leave my bedroom. ugh!

The heat has totally drained me of any and all will to do .... ANYTHING. I was out watering my garden today, and was literally sweating buckets carrying the watering can back and forth. It's also messed up my eating habits... :( I haven't eaten anything for most of the last 2 days, till I go all faint and grab for something fast. Not good. Trying to compensate by eating lots of cold things, but since I have to use all the food I have in the cupboards till I get my next paycheck, it's difficult.

However! I did make a cracking good shrimp and vegetable fried rice that I will be having for dinner tonight :D

Since I'm having rice tonight, I think lunch today will be tuna on a salad, with an apple and cucumbers. Other than that... goals for today are, Pay for my gas to get to work ( harder than you think! ) and water!!!
 
Hey ms. moon. Sorry to read about the heat. Our central unit went out awhile back and its was terrible. Just try to stay in the coolest room which you are already doing. Try to avoid the stove as much as possible it will super heat the house quick. While ours was out we grilled everything outside. I found I really do like veggies on the grill.
 
Ugh, the heat situation sounds dreadful. But glad to hear you putting some things into motion that may help with keeping your condo. I hope it works out. I know that will put your mind at ease if it does.

You proposed menu for the day sounds good...you need your nutrients...especially in this heat.

Hope you have a grand weekend!!!
 
Hey Moon,

Hate to hear about the heat. I hope things start working out for you though. I'll be praying for you.

Much love.
 
Hullo Paper Moon thanks for stopping by my diary where you asked...

I notice that you add calorie points to your excersize routines, then subtract it from your eaten calories. How does one figure out how many calories an excersize burns? For example, I do a 30 min tae bo tape... wonder if I could look it up on the internet.
Click to expand...

There are a few websites around that give you a rough number of calories burned per hour of a particular activity. If you put in "calories burned" then you get a list of them. I'd normally point you to a site I'd recommend but they all give different readings so it's better to take an average.

Sorry to hear you've been having trouble with mortgage. I'm in the process of trying to move out but think I need a full time job first! :(
 
ack. I can relate to the heat. It's totally crazy heat wave lately hasn't it? Eeep! Stay cool. Drink lots of water!

OOoh. Your tuna salad sounds yummy. I'm having something similar... Salmon tuna tomorrow! :D

anyways, good luck with the application! *crosses her fingers*
 
I'm dissapointed with myself.

I've been really worried/depressed the last few days over this mortgage thing... I even lowered the price on my condo and still no bites. No word back yet on whether or not I got the better mortgage.. so I wait still.

Been too crappy to do anything. I haven't excersized, or really watched what I ate.. ( trust me.. there is little to 0 food left in this place.. so it's not as bad as you think. ) I'm just a big ball of frightened worryment. I don't know what i'll do if I don't get things sorted soon.

I have 25 dollars I can take grocery shopping tomorrow. I figure i'm going to try to get some low cal pita bread, whatever lean deli meat is on sale, some packaged salad mix ( theyre having a 2 for one sale this week ), a bag of apples, some microwave popcorn, and if I have enough left, some of those smart ones frozen dinners. Theyre having a special double coupon for them right now, 5 for 5 dollars. I figure i can just heat them up at work.

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I miss my bf terribly, and I really wish I had a friend nearby.

Today I ate:

L:Terikayi noodle bowl = 500

D: Smart one's entree = 330

Snacks: oat and honey granola bar = 130
apple = 75

Total: 1035

Water: 3 large glasses :/


I'm so hungry right now.
 
moon sorry about the condo. I know when i was selling some property and I needed money it took forever. sounds like you have your shopping all planned out.......
 
Today is predicted to be the hottest day in record history for my area. It's already almost 100 and it's not even noon yet. I have one room with ac ( my bedroom ) and i'm not leavin it :p

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the scale has been funny towards me lately. Yesterday I only managed about 945 calories for the day, and the scale went up!!! Actually it went up, down, sideways, whatever. I had to step on it literally about 10 times, and almost every time was different. x_x Should I not obsess over it and just weigh myself once a week?

Yesterday I ate:

Turkey sammich Pita - 130
Quaker caramel cakes - 60

Turkey sammich Pita - 130
Salad - 35
Yogurt granola bar - 140

Dreaded taco bell!!!!! - 450 ( I paid them in quarters and dimes... >.> )

Total: 945

I only managed about 3 large glasses of water
Diet Soda: 3/4 of one can!

I probably should have eaten a little more than that.

I'm trying to walk around a lot at work ( I work in a printing press company, so its huge ).. the last 2 days i've been walking back and forth to the warehouse to get paper at least 5 times a day. So I'm moving a little I guess. It's just TOO hot to excersize inside, or outside right now. I'm dead afraid of heatstroke and passing out. No one would realize I did for weeks :confused:
 
awwh. *huggles* sorry to hear about the condo. hopefully something will come up soon. try to drink more water Papermoon. It's good for you plus it's deadly hot. You need to replenish your body's supply.
