BikiniBound's Diary

Would they have to actually be able to get a mortage:rotflmao: Because I could walk in and say it for you... but no bank would give me a mortgage :rotflmao:

Yes, unfortunately, they would need to be able to get a mortgage. Or have the cash in the bank..lol But it's the thought that counts...lol Some day when you're a big shot lawyer you will be able to afford it..lol Of course I probably won't be a realtor then, but oh well...:rotflmao:
 
Exercise for the week:
8/6--30min of circuit training, 2 mile walk in 30min with IT
8/7--4mile walk in 60min with IT in humid as hell heat
8/8--30min of circuit training
8/9--4mile walk in 60min. and 100% humidity (begging for sympathy again)
8/10--4hrs of housecleaning, 40min of circuit training.
8/12--3mile walk in 45min with IT (92degrees), 1hr20min housecleaning

Food for today:
meal#1--blueberries with cottage cheese
meal#2--leftover stirfry from last night
meal#3--banana
meal#4--1/2 Panera mediterranean veggie sandwich (my fav), bowl of southwestern tomato soup (very good), apple
meal#5--low-carb protein shake

Well, the day got better. I went home and did some housecleaning--bathroom, kitchen, vacuumed and mopped. Didn't get the dusting, but that can be done tomorrow. Had a fun night with my girlfriend. Only thing is, there isn't much to do around here on a Sunday night. So after Panera shut at 8pm we ended up back at my house hanging out. Wanna know what's funny? I envy her life, and she envies mine. I guess the grass is always greener..lmbo:)

Two more nights of having the bed(room) all to myself! I'd better enjoy it while I can. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

You didn't ask for sympathy this time... but damn all that exercise in 90 degree plus heat... damn that's good!

As usual your menu looks superb:)

Just hanging out can always be a great time... and yes... the grass always seems to be greener:rotflmao: which totally sucks because then how are we ever going to be satisfied:confused: :rotflmao:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: I'm not sure if I want to know what enjoying the bed(room) all to yourself for two more nights consists of:rolleyes:

Lots of Love and Hugs

Well, I know my Southern friends are exercising in 103degree heat, so I didn't think I deserved any..lol

As usual your menu looks superb:) Thanks. I love those damn panera sandwiches--the ones with cocaine in them!

:rotflmao: I'm not sure if I want to know what enjoying the bed(room) all to yourself for two more nights consists of:rolleyes:

Ha! I could say that it consists of gorgeous men pleasuring me all night long, but then I wouldn't be all by myself. :rotflmao: Basically, I like having the room all to myself, not having to be considerate of anyone else. So I can sit on my bed with my laptop typing away witty things into the wee hours of the night without bothering anyone who's trying to sleep next to me..lol And, I like to have the whole bed to myself when I sleep. I seriously need a king size bed. That is my dream! :jump:

Damn I know what you need about the kind size bed... PJ is a big boy... his feet hang over the end and he jsut takes up most of the damn thing LOL We talk about getting a California King... when we're rich lawyers so like in a jillion years:rotflmao:
 
:mad: :mad: :mad: I am livid. My H called a bit ago. Now he is saying he doesn't know about going to marriage counselling! I told him that if he doesn't want to go, than the marriage is pretty much over. He still has no idea of what kind of career he'll have. All of his ideas are impractical. There was a long period of silence after the marriage counselling thing. Then he said that we might as well hang up if we weren't going to speak. So I told him to have a good flight back and hung up. I feel like calling him back and asking him why he's even bothering to come back. :confused: Sigh. Well, I might win the bet after all.:mad:

Just venting here. No need to offer sympathy. Just needed to get that off my chest.
 
I don't know what to say so I'll give hugs instead.
:hug2: :hug2: :hug2:
Try and keep yer head up hun, I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling.

lots of love
xoxo

Thanks, dear. I'm feeling angry and frustrated--I'm sure you've been there. :)

I've definitely been there but mine is usually over stupid things. Just like today when for some unknown reason my tv broke. :confused: Nothing nearly as important and life changing as you and the hub. :( Hope everything works out for the best for ya

Oh, I get angry and frustrated over smaller things, too. You should see me when I can't get my printer to work. It is an ugly site to behold!!:rotflmao: And I would be po'd if my TV broke, trust me..lol

What's up with the printer? Mine acts up once in awhile, stupid though cause it's only about a year old.
I'm assuming you and the printer is similar to me when my cell doesn't get signal. Many phones have been thrown and broken due to that. lol

My printer is less than a year old and I'm on my 3rd replacement. I think it is a cheap piece of crap..lol. Actually, the current problem isn't my printer. It's my laptop. The printer will copy and scan, but it won't print from my laptop. Something is going on, but I have no clue what it is. Lately I've just been printing off my office computer or my dad's. I just hate calling tech support, but I will have to eventually.

:eek: wow! I think I'd be going crazy if I were you, 3 printers in one year?! lol. I have a similar prob with my printer. It won't scan but I think It's probably because I have a mac laptop and can't seem to find the driver cd for the printer to install it on my mac.

Why can't companies make things that actually work?

It's perfectly alright to get that out. I have to do it myself. And I dunno what it is about counseling, but mine refuses to go too. :confused:
:hug2:
 
Shite... sorry to hear about the H, honey. It's better to rant than to have it build up, ya know? If there's anything I can do or say, then let me know. Oh and by the way, I have a little something for you that just may bring a little smile to that pretty face of yours. It's an Ode to My Girls pic that will be posted in my diary later on today. (My camera's in Sean's car, so you'll all have to wait in suspense.. muahahahaaaa! haha) Anyways, love yas, doll....

I'm sure I'll get him to go to at least one session. We'll see how it goes from there. But if he won't continue, than it's over, and I will know that at least I tried. He just has a big issue about talking to others about his relationships, and he doens't put much stock in therapy or counselling. He thinks people should just deal with their problems on their own. I completely disagree, but we'll see how it goes. I am not afraid to be single again.
 
I feel you about the H problems, I'm going through similar issues except I'm not the counseling type myself so we dont have that issue to contend with (and he would NEVER EVER agree to this either). It absolutely sucks having that antipathy with someone you live with. But surprisingly we did have some hot sex last night LOL after he finally slept in the bed after being in the LR for the past 2 weeks. Of course I was too pissed at first but it turned out well I must say. Sorry for the rant!

I was wondering, and you are just the person to ask based on your summary of your program in your HT thread, how do I get my eating under control? I've managed to maintain a reasonable weight (except when I got pregnant and gained more than usual) or 10 pounds beyond, but I've never gone off the deep end so I guess I'm ahead of the game in one sense. But on the other side of it, I just wonder how someone who does enable a large weight gain, then go and somehow harness the discipline and will power to eat 1200-1500 calories a day? There are so many of you on here! You'd think someone who's managed to stay moderately within control (it has been a STRUGGLE to maintain) could get 10 pounds off! But no, I can't stay in control more than a few days without caving. How do you do it? How did you change to the degree that you have?

Congrats on the hot sex! I was hoping for some of that when H gets back tomorrow, but after our conversation last night, I dunno...:rolleyes:

Well, I didn't do it for years. I had the same problem you do. I think for me it was the fact that I got a wake-up call that I was only 22.5lbs from 300. That scared the shit out of me. Also, seeing my morbidly obese parents' quality of life go downhill fast was another motivator. And turning 35 was another big one. I don't want to waste my youth being overweight and unattractive. I also want to have children before my ovaries shrivel up, and don't want to be overweight while preggers b/c of the complications that can happen--especially at my age. So those are HUGE motivators. Also the fact that I may be back on the market makes me feel motivation.

I think I just decided that I'm not going to make any more excuses for why I can't do it. I'm just doing it--and that's it. I'm taking control of my life and I'm not letting anything stop me--not even the pizza and ice cream in the fridge/freezer. Now that's not to say that I never eat anything naughty. I had 2 small pieces of pizza on Saturday. And I just may have a spoonful of ice cream today. But I don't eat half the carton of ice cream--just a spoonful. I cheat in moderation. And I've come to look at those foods as my enemy--that they do more harm than good. I know that the momentary pleasure/comfort I might get from eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream in one sitting is nowhere near the pleasure I get from seeing the numbers on the scale go down, or when my pants slide off my hips, or that my double chin is going away. It isn't easy sometimes, it's completely mental toughness and determination. I am amazed at my willpower myself. I've never had this much before in my life. I wish you the same!

Exercise-wise, that is the easiest part for me. In years past I HATED exercising. But I love my Curves-type gym, and I love going for walks. I actually look forward to exercising for the first time in my life. I feel so much better after doing it, and I feel bad if I don't exercise. From the beginning, I've told myself that exercising isn't optional. I MAKE the time to do it. I fit it into my schedule because it's just as important as anything else in my life right now. I've heard a lot of people on and off this site say they just don't have the time. If it's really important to you, you'll make time for it. 'Nuff said.:)
