Congrats on the measurements Ali 
A little Bailey's never hurt anyone, right? I'm surprised with as much stress you have at your job you don't do it more often...jk I managed to drag my ass to the gym today and get in some cardio. It felt nice. I wish I could have ran outside today though, it was 75. It is just we are having very bad wind today and it would have definately kicked up my allergies... so the gym had to suffice.
Hang in there,

The only reason I do not drink more is b/c of the caloric content. That's it. I could use a little winding down from time to time but I am too calorically cheap to do it on a regular basis
Saturday is my off day, but I can't wait to get back there tomorrow...glad to hear that things are going well - allergies suck but at least there is an alternative.

I was going to get up and do an extra cardio session...yeah right. I ended up not getting to bed until 2am and the 630 alarm did nothing to persuade me to get my ass out of bed.
Oh well...it isn't the end of the world or anything...
I did my routine, using my new weight on the bicep curls which was necessary due to my corrected form, otherwise everything else was normal. We added in some overhead presses - first set at 50 lbs (I did fine), second set at 55 lbs (not so fine, I had to break the set up into 2 x 5, but I survived).
Oddly I left feeling like I did not do enough, even though the workout is easily an hour long. Glad to have done it though...

Hey Ali. I hear you on the drinking and the calories. I try to limit it as well but me being in my 20's and wanting to go out sometimes makes it difficult. Plus, I don't really drink hard alcohol anymore, so if I want to get my buzz on it usually takes a couple/few beers or a pretty liberal glass of wine
Congrats on getting to the gym and getting thru the weights workout. I love that feeling of accomplishment when you get thru a really tough weights session I actually felt that way when I did legs with the PT last week. I was also sore for almost 3 days too
Hope we both have a nice time this upcoming week.

So yesterday went to hell pretty quickly for some reason...
I got out of the gym and went to the grocery store and proceeded to leave my 18lb bag of cat food on the cart. Got home and had to go back to get it. Thought hubby would have started to put the groceries away while I was gone, guess I should have voiced that thought
I have a heart condition called sinus tachycardia, basically I have these 'episodes' where I have an accelerated and irregular heartbeat. I was diagnoised with it about 6 years ago. If I am not having an episode, it doesn't bother me, however I had a pretty bad one yesterday; the end result is that I end up feeling sick to my stomach and really sleepy. All I can do is wait it out until it passes.
Since I have lost weight, I hardly ever get them. However, I was far to lazy to cook an actual meal yesterday and I paid for it by picking and ending up with one of the worst episodes I had had in a while.
It took all day to pass, but it did eventually pass.
Lesson learned there.

Wow - hope you're feeling better and take it easy for a bit...

Again though- better to learn it on the weekend and not a workday. Although it sucks to lose any weekend time.
All in all it is ok over here. Work still sucks but there is no definite reason for it- I am just being asked to create the world with these 2 sticks; something from nothing.... I don't have the heart to break it to the owners that I am not even a god much less The God. Oh well.
Weather is making up for the last month. I really think I am going to cut today short and get the hell out of here.
Smile Ali.

Glad to hear your doing better Ali. That is kinda scary. At least you know what it is though.
A few years ago I had a full on gran mal seizure at my work. I had never had seizures before, so it came completely out of nowhere. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance and everything... I was so scared that I had a brain tumor or something awful like that. They ran tons of tests and couldn't find a single thing wrong, so the verdict was that i just get these seizures once and awhile, which some people do, some I'm not alone. I'm not epileptic either... I've only had one more in the past five years (coincidentally at work again, lol) and I'm on meds that I take every day to prevent them "just in case"... I think they tend to be stress related. Seizures suck though, talk about being super sore, it feels like I have been at the gym for 10 hrs with my trainer by the time the seizure finishes, lol.
Happy Monday,
Sam

Sam - YIKES - that makes my little ole heart problems seem like a case of the sniffles...thank goodness you are ok...
Brian - were you able to escape early??? I wish I could do that...although, if I did, I think I would never come back.
-----------------
So it is 923 pm and I am just getting to sit down and start my work for tomorrow...I have a deposition (my first) and I need to prepare my questions, which is going to take HOURS. I am already tired and I haven't even started...
I met my dad for dinner at a local(ish) pizza place. I had a side salad, two raviolis and a meatball. I am sure that I am ok w/cals for the day as I picked on some chocolate before I met him. The only thing that sucks about working late is that I am going to want to munch and I don't think I really have anything in the house that is conducive to that. We'll see how I do...
Hope everyone is having a good night

So I am not so sure what this has to do with weight loss per se, however, if I can keep myself from eating my entire kitchen then this little post will have been worth it.
My deposition tomorrow. I am stressed about it since it is my first, but more than that ~ there is a certain person involved that I would like to strangle with my bare hands. I fail to understand how people can conduct themselves in such a manner that completely ignores the bounds of human decency, but apparently I am dealing with it in this case. This person has cost me more agita (sp?) and aggravation than I care to think about and all I want to do sitting here is eat everything...
Beleive it or not, I am happy otherwise, if I could rid myself of this one little piece of aggravation...

Ok...so I have been MIA for a little while...I have been busier than one person has a right or need to be. Work has been beyond crazy and so far this week I have fallen asleep at my kitchen table and lost all of last night due to falling asleep in my clothes after putting my daughter to bed.
I eating has been a little crazy, nothing bad, just really really irregular which is essentially the equivalent of eating badly. It is hard to do what you have to do to take care of yourself when everyone around you wants a piece of you as well.
I have managed to stay with the gym as it is the only thing I do that is for me and me only....which is a good thing, I suppose. I wore a new dress today and everyone in my office has made some sort of comment about it - it doesn't make up for the exhaustion I am feeling but it does make me happy.
Nothing really interesting to note otherwise...just work and more work. I know I sound like I am depressed or unhappy, I'm not. Just unbelievably overwhelmed, that's all...
