Half of Me:The Story of Fat Girl Slim

I am ticked that my brother has not said word one regrading this

Alas, I sent out an email to my whole family with pictures showing the weight loss and he thought it would be a good time to show off his new army uniform. Talk about stealing my thunder.

raising a toddler is like trying to nail Jello to a tree

1 toddler = Jello + tree = difficult
3 boys = water + tree = impossible

I am learning that there are some people you just can't help (or kill, but that is getting ahead of things I guess)

3 boy = you may have possibly lost your mind :)

There are days the one I have makes me want to cry, if I had three I would be sitting in the corner with my knees to my chest (I can do that now) just rocking...

...and rocking...

you're my hero :)
 
Well she is but I am assuming that they are left in your care at some point...

Just amazing to me :)

There are days when I am sure I am not cut out for this :D
 
Beautiful, we all feel that way. :) Kids are not easy, anyone that says so if fooling themselves. But! They are the most reward pain in the necks in the world. I love my boys to death.
 
Don't get me wrong, I love Abby to death, it is just sometimes I think it may kill me :)

She is amazing though...and a lot of fun. Now if I could just get her to listen to me...
 
OMG - Working at home has one disadvantage...

This freaking chair I am sitting in is KILLING me...it hurts and not in any way that could even be remotely characterized as good...

I need a massage :D

I didn't realize that a Laz-e-boy was that uncomfortable.

It is what i sit in when I work from home.:D
 
Well aren't you luckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkky :)

I do not have that luxury...I have files all over my kitchen table and I am in one of the crappy chairs which are not designed to be occupied for more than 5 mintes at a time...
 
Oh snap.
You are actually trying to work from home. :D

Gotcha. Yeah that sucks when actual work needsto be accomplished.
My desk is big but the chair is not anywhere approaching comfortable.
 
Yeah, you know, that little thing they are paying me for...

Damn, I thought I was on vacation today...

I have a decent office chair but my remote connection blows from my desktop for some reason so I use the laptop. I can't be in the basement due to Abby, so here I am...
 
Call a message theropist to come give you a massage while you work. ;)
At least you are allowed to work from home. Our boss thinks we would screw around on the internet or something........... oh.
 
Haha - If they saw how much I was on the internet, I would probably get fired...they have a good approach about working at home, either they let me or I take a personal day. This way, at least I am generating billables. The other way, I get to sit on my ass... :)

Guess which one I would rather be doing?
 
We have the same policy. Interesting....

I always choose the latter. I can always benerate billable time for something.
 
Hey Ali,

Just checking in on ya. Man, I wish I could work from home... Not going to happen with my job right now though, a lot of the job is just physically being there, lol.... one can dream though, right??

Hope you have an excellent nite,
Sam:)
 
hey uh, whatchu think you're doing letting this diary go to page 4 ??

huh ?? huh ??

musta fell asleep on the massage table ;)
 
Don't I WISH!!!!

I have been such a lazy ass, I have to post and have a few things to talk about but I can't put together enough time to do more than chatter...it will come soon enough to put all of you to sleep :D
 
Busy week this week...

My friend Nicole (college roommate and overall wonderful friend) is a writer. She writes the most amazing and beautiful poems and Tuesday night, she participated in a reading at a local arts festival.

Having read a lot of what she has written over the years and wanting to see her read in public for the first time, I went to support her. The reading was fun, most of the poets were a little, let's just say odd. She went last and her poety was so moving that it brought tears to my eyes. Now, that isn't to say that I didn't try to make her crack up when they were taking a group photo of the poets afterwards...but I had a really great time and it was so much fun to share that accomplishment with her.

This year is the 10th year since we graduated college...we were roommates since day one almost and lived together for 4 very fun years together. She is from central/north jersey and a few years ago she moved down to Gloucester County where I live. It has been so great to have her close, it is almost like having a sister.

Work has been slightly less insane this week but we have a new office manager who is not even close to up to snuff and it is making everyone irritable and super cranky. Otherwise I am thrilled b/c my boss is out for two whole weeks :D

Nothing really new on the food front...I am still watching and for those of you who read my pictures thread, I learned a lesson today. A good lesson and one that I will benefit from in the future.

I am weighing in this weekend but I am prepared for the scale to stay the same, and if it does, I think I can handle it.
 
Ali, no worries you will keep losing the weight. Just be consistent. It doesnt matter if you do it fast or slow as long as its getting done. I look forward to seeing you hit your goal.

Thanks Matthew.

I am trying to be consistent and I know if I do that, it will eventually take the hint and get the hell off my body :D

Fat is apparently learning impaired.

I hope you have a comfortable chair b/c it could be awhile.
