Jen's Diary of Random Stuff

AWhat in the HELL is going on in my journal. It can get kind of raunchy in here sometimes, but posting a naked pic of yourself is NOT allowed...EVER.. Keep your naughty bits to yourself!
 
AWell I have a bunch of stuff to do today. I have to work, do laundry, clean the house a little bit, get some favor bags ready for my daughter's party tomorrow, and pick up her cake....I can't forget the cake!!..lol. Chef is coming over later and then tonight were watching movies with the kids. I'm tired already. I could probably take a nap right now, but I can't. I gotta get to work. Hope everyone has a great weekend. :)
 
AJust a quick update with some random stuff going on:

• My daughter's party went good last weekend. She had a lot of fun.

• My son's been sick most of the week.

• He's given me the crap that he has. (Thanks for sharing, son!)

• Chef will be the next victim... muhuwahahhaa! :reddevil:

• It was one year ago yesterday that Chef and I met in person for the first time...after 8 VERY long months of only being able to talk online. Never thought when I joined WLF that I would meet a absolutely wonderful man on here. I love my Chef. :beating:

• Today I'm getting a new phone..maybe. If I can find one I like that's not ridiculously expensive. I'll admit I want to get the HTC Rhyme JUST because it's purple and looks cool. :blush5:

• And now the bad update *drags feet* .....Stress got the better of me and I went back to drinking diet pop. Oh and I've gained like 10lbs of motherf2#%ing weight!! :cuss:

• I gotta get back on track, cuz it's getting ridiculous. I can do so much better than I am, and I know it. New goal: Start 2012 20lbs lighter! I will do this! :)
 
AI got my new phone... the HTC Rhyme. I am absolutely loving it! First of all it's purple, so major bonus points for that. And then it comes with a charging dock that also can be used as a music dock and an alarm clock. So it's pretty cool. I've spent the last couple days glued to it...lol. I love getting new toys! :p

I woke up this morning feeling like poop though, even the new phone wouldn't cure that...lol. My throat hurts and is all tight and congested, so its making me cough and gag.... attractive, I know..lol. But my Honey is coming over later, so hopefully I'll get a little pampering out of it. ;)

I know they(whoever "they" is) say you shouldn't "wait til Monday" to start a diet, but that's what I have always done and what I'm gonna do again this time. My motivation is definitely back, I know I can do it. I've done it before. I just don't feel good at all. So, I'm just going to take it easy this weekend, rest up, take some medicine and hopefully by Monday I'm feeling better. *fingers crossed* I hope everyone has a great weekend. See you on Monday! :)
 
Something has definitely been going around. I can relate to your recent feelings of crud :( You sound more determined than ever to resume and conquer recent gains, which is great :)


Down some Nyquil, pop a few pills, and chug that water :D Try to get appropriate rest, though I hear exercise actually helps knock a cold out of your system quicker. Hmmm..


Hope you feel better soon! I'm just getting over a nasty round of something. Still blowing my nose every few minutes (especially on the treadmill), but it's getting better :) Still up about 10 pounds as well, but you're absolutely right about it coming off in no time :) We both have done it before and it's no big deal!


Looking forward to more updates, jen! Take care :)
 
AThanks Frogged! I am determined. This weight IS coming off! I'm feeling much better today. Tomorrow morning it's back to the routine. I'm kind of excited. lol! It feels good to be motivated again. :)
 
AWell it's Monday....and so far, so good. I got up this morning and hopped on the scale, and it read 4 lbs lighter than it did on Friday. I ate like CRAP over the weekend. No-bake cookies are the devil...lol. So anyways... I know it wasn't from a stellar performance in the diet dept from me...lol. :blush5: I'll take it though. It gave me a good positive start to things this morning, so that was nice.

I'm a little bit tired this morning. I didn't sleep the best last night(still kind of congested), but overall I'm not feeling too bad. My son got on the bus a little while ago, so now I'm going to take advantage of the sweet and glorious quiet, and get some work done. I hope everyone is having a good Monday! :)
 
AToday I think is going to be one of "those" days. I woke up this morning and within about 3 minutes had decided that my inner b*tch would probably be making an appearance at some point today. I know most of it is probably just pms, but there's more to it than that. It's just a lot of stress. I'm worried about some things. I'm not happy with my living situation....it sucks and I'm tired of it. My mom and I..AND my 2 children all live together. My mom needs a double knee replacement and wants/needs someone to basically do everything- cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping....and since my brother lives a 1000 miles away(he's a smart man) ..it's up to me to do it. I love my mom, but 2 women living together is just a DISASTER. There's really not much I can do about the situation either. I can't just leave...she depends on me way too much to do stuff and I pay most of the household bills, which she can't afford on her own. So if I leave...she basically will lose her house. I can't and won't do that to her. ( I can be a b*tch, but not that big of one..hahaha! ) But I feel like I'm never going to be happy. No matter how old you are, if you live with your mother.... you will NEVER feel like an adult. It's just not possible, I don't think anyway. Even though I do everything, take care of the house and my kids, pay bills..she still manages to make me feel like a kid. There's just a huge power play going on this house, and it bugs the shit out of me. It makes me want to go eat an entire strawberry cake with an inch of frosting on it!


..... But I won't!

......instead I'll just mutter the "F" word under my breath a lot. HAHAHA! :D
 
AThings I would love to have at the moment( in no certain order):

Peace and Quiet
Sexy time with my Honey ;)
A huge mug of hot cocoa
One of my favorite Halloween treats- popcorn balls..my Grandma made the best ones ever...num num num.
70degree weather
My work for the day to do be magically done.
A million bucks....Hell I'd settle for a 1,000 bucks right now. :p
A haircut
A new winter coat
........and for the cleaning fairy to make an appearance at my house. Siiiigh..I wish. LOL!
 
A[quote name="ChefChiTown" url="/t/37050/jens-diary-of-random-stuff/500#post_810541"]HAHAHAHA I find it funny that "a haircut" is one of the things you want right now. And, your first 2 things contradict one another.  If you had sexy time with me (assuming that's who you meant - unless you meant someone else

), there would most certainly not be any peace, nor any quiet what-so-ever.[/quote]

Mmmm..I know. I'd gladly give up the peace and quiet for the other. ;)
 
Hopping by to say say hello, jen

Hope you and Chef had your time together (hehe), and that your day is going well! :biggrin:

HAHAHA! Yes, we had our "time" together yesterday...lmao! :D Today is going pretty good. Been kinda busy, but overall it's been a good day. I will say though, that I cannot wait to go to bed tonight. I'm sooooo tired. lol!
 
ASo I was supposed to weigh myself this morning, but I forgot. :( And call me weird, but I have to weigh myself in the morning, naked, after I go to the bathroom...hahahha. So I'll do it tomorrow. I'm not really expecting to see anything good on the scale. I did pretty good most of the week, the weekend kind of got a little out of control though. Plus it was my TOM... and well... I have probably as good of a chance at winning the lottery as I do at losing weight during that. Probably wasn't the best week to start a diet..hahaha. Oh well. I'll just keep going no matter what the scale says tomorrow. :)
 
AWe have to keep on going no matter what the scale shows, otherwise we will never reach our goals.
 
ASo I stayed up entirely way too late last night talking to my friend. We had a good long girl talk though...a bitchfest if you will. I think it was worth only getting 4 and half hours of sleep..maybe? I don't know..lol. I'm so taking a nap today. I'm not even gonna try to pretend I don't need it, hahaha. I NEED a nap. Siiiigh.... I love naps.

Also...I got on the scale this morning and it showed a 2lb gain this morning. UUGH! I gave it a dirty look and then moved on. :D I hate that TOM. But if things go how they usually do, those pounds will be off in a day or two. That's usually how it works for me anyway. I gain during and then after I'll lose 4 or 5lbs in a big whoooosh!!! Soooo ...coooome on whooosh..Let's goooo...anytime now! lmao!

So true, MLB.. thanks! :)
 
A.... eh. I'm so done with today. I'm tired, I'm cranky, I've eaten about 5 too many fun size snickers bars and I'm ready for bed. Today started off good, but it definitely didn't turn out like I thought it would. No, I take that back... It turned out how I thought it would, just not how I hoped it would. Goodnight all.
 
A*Slinks back into the forum*

Ok...I'm just gonna say it..... I have completely fallen off the wagon. I fell off, rolled down the hill and did a faceplant into the muddy ravine below. The wagon is no where in sight, and the dust cloud has completely settled. It's gone, my friends.

The last week or so has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster... Well are there rollercoasters that just go downhill? Because that's the one I'm on if there is such a thing. I'm not gonna go into it on here, but life is just kicking me in the ass right now. Work, love, life ..you name it. I saw this on facebook today though and it struck a nerve with me...so I wanted to post it here....


"I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see."


Goodnight all.
 
ADon't worry Jen, all wagons these days come with a built in GPS beacon, so no matter what you will find you way back to it.

:reaches out his hand:

Take my hand, ma'am.  I'll lead you back to your wagon.  I was the one who knocked you off of it, so let me help you get back on it.

And, that quote doesn't apply to you.  You aren't less than anybody prefers you to be - you're much more than anybody could even possibly hope for.  It is the people around you that aren't living up to standards, not you.  And, people are well aware that you're so much more than what they see.  Just because I don't see wings on your back doesn't mean you're not an angel...because you are.  You're my angel.  No, I take that back; you're not my angel - you don't belong to me - you belong to the world - you are everybody's angel.

I love you, Jen.  I'll have that wagon fixed for you in no time.

You didn't knock me off the wagon. I knocked myself off. There's no one to blame but myself. We've had a rough week, but I don't recall you holding me down and shoving gobs and gobs of Halloween candy in my mouth...lol. That's my doing, not yours. FYI- I'm totally picturing you wearing a cowboy outfit.
 
LOL, my goodness!


You and Chef are something else :p Can you two try to keep this thread pg-rated, yeah? rofl :biggrin:


Anyway, don't worry, jen

You know why you're ok? Because you recognized the problem, you know what you have to do, and you're being honest on the forum about it. That's why the forums are here: to support you and to vent about your good and bad days!


You'll find your way back on track! I mean, you've got a GPS and a Cowboy there assisting you! :p Wow!


Not to mention holidays are always full of temptation, so it's completely understandable!

Just don't forget how strong you are and how much we all support you! Continue on and you'll make up for this little slip in no time! :hurray:
