It's Weds, did he do The Rodeo? That's where you ride for eight seconds then he throws you on the floor. Added bonus if there's a clown in laundry hamper.



My brain goes to weird places....
 
hahahaha! omg, you guys! I saw the doctor today. All is good.

Let the rodeo begin...

Anyway... it was a good day! My calories were good, and I did the treadmill for 45 minutes. :hurray: I'm way behind on journals. I'll catch up in the next day or two. :)
 
You all make me laugh! :)


I've been preoccupied lately with the kids, and my friend, and looking at art stuff. I think my friend being diagnosed with cancer has brought back up a lot of the feelings I had a couple years ago when I almost died. We're around the same age and two of her kids are the same age as mine. So it hits close to home. It's just heartbreaking for all of them. After I had my embolisms I promised myself a few things....

-I promised myself that I would be the best mom that I could possibly be. Have I done that? Yes. Am I perfect? Nope, because no parent is perfect. We all make mistakes, but I think they're wonderful little human beings, and they know I love them more than anything. :)

-I promised myself that I would lose the rest of the weight that I needed to and get healthy. Have I done that?... Nope! In fact I've gained more weight.

-I promised myself that I would work on my art. Have I done that?...Not really. Here and there maybe, but not to the extent that I would of liked.

So I'm at 1 out of 3. Obviously, I'm going to continue to work on being the best mom ever, but I need to get busy on the last two! Being healthy is important for obvious reasons. But there's another reason as well. It may be absolutely insane, but Chef and I would love to have a baby. Whether that comes naturally or we adopt. It doesn't matter to me how it happens. I am in love with the idea of both. However it happens, being healthy is important. Yes, the thought of starting all over at my age is kind of scary.... scratch that... super scary! haha! But there's a missing piece to our family puzzle. I didn't want to mention it before, but that was one of the things the doctor was looking at during my surgery. I was pretty worried that whatever was wrong would result in us not being able to get pregnant. Which is exactly what was happening the way those cysts were growing. They have been removed though, and the doctor said I am good to go now. Everything looks great, and we can start trying whenever. EEK! lol!

As far as my art goes... I'm going to be starting a new project soon. When I get that finished, I will continue on with something else, instead of taking a 6 month break like usual. I love it, and it makes me happy, so why in the heck don't I do it more often? lol!

Ok... that's enough rambling about non diet related stuff today. My calories have been really good the last few days. I haven't weighed myself in a few days. I keep forgetting. Maybe I'll remember tomorrow. Don't hold your breath on that one though. lol! :)

Everything is diet-related. Questions of security, fulfillment and happiness certainly are.

You're absolutely right. It's all emotional and anxiety inducing stuff that results in comfort eating. Getting it all out there is what I needed to do. :)
 
Another good today. Spent the day working and looking at art stuff. I'm all pumped and inspired to create something! Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel just as pumped about getting on the treadmill.... Not likely. lol! :)
 
My calories today were around 1300. Not the best day eating wise. I had a grazing type day where I just snacked on little shit mostly. I do that once in a while. My "snack" list in MFP is quite extensive today. lol! Oh well. :oops:

Clearly we are not right in the head. haha!


Ok, people.... I DEFINITELY lost weight today. I did not sleep last worth a crap last night, because my hair was all over the damn place. Like a lion. So, when I got up today, I grabbed the scissors and started chopping. Then I was like...Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. what am I doing?! I don't know how to cut hair! Damn you, Youtube for making me think I could do this on my own! haha! I think it turned out ok though. I cut probably like 5 inches off... maybe more... it was down to my butt!

That has to be like 5 lbs right? .... I wish. :p


Calories are good so far today. About to go over to my mom's though. Lord only knows what kind of goodies she'll have just baked. *sigh*

I was so annoyed this morning the only thing I thought might brighten my mood would be a haircut. Didn´t get one, of course, but I am very much looking forward to Friday, when I will be losing some weight as well ;)
