Lisa's Final Countdown, The Good Days, the Bad, & the Ugly

Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary. I have to work later so hubby wanted us to have breakfast together and neither of us felt like eating out so we ordered from a local place and he's gone to pick it up. Unfortunately the hashbrowns & gravy, etc. has already put me at almost my daily total for calories so I'm taking today as a cheat day and then I have to stick to it the rest of the week.

I'm looking at your ticker though...over 20 lbs lost! That's awesome!

Nothing wrong with a cheat day now and then especially for an occasion like that.

Can't wait to hear how it goes with the upright bike, I know how much having usefull equipment can mean.
 
Happy Anniversary!!! congrats!!!:hurray:
I definately think having a cheat day is more than understandable on a day like that! and who is going to turn down hashbrowns and gravy? c'mon! :D
Hope you had a great day Lisa. take care:seeya:

Yea but I do have them a bit too often. Anniversary was fine though. And yea I can't wait to try out my bike either but I still need to assemble it.
 
And thanks Shandy, Karl and Paula :) It was an ok day, had to go in to work though but even work was fun.

I've still been stressed out (not as bad) and very tired though. I realized today that I haven't refilled my pill minder so I KNOW I haven't had vitamins or iron in a week and that's contributing...especially the iron.
 
Today was interesting. I hit the end of my rope with the fast food crap today.

Let me start by saying I have a problem with my husband in that he HATES grocery shopping. So I do try to buy stuff for him but he's so weird that he'll eat something one week and not want it again for a while until I've got a freezer full of crap he won't eat. So about 3 weeks ago I got him to go to the store with me, I think I even mentioned it in my journal. I figured he could buy his own junk and get food besides...I didn't even make him go to Walmart. We went to the more spendy grocery store around the corner. Unfortunately he came out with nothing but snacks, a loaf of bread and some lunchmeat, leaving him nothing to fix for food when I'm not home all day at work or in classes. Hence the problem at hand...that he's always asking me to bring home fast food...like today.

My phone died and I called from a friends quickly to let him know I was on my way home from classes and he asked if I was bringing home food. When I said no he said "then why are you calling". I thought wow....this is how much of a habit this is and it needs to stop. We can't afford it and I've had enough.

So when I got home he insisted on us going to a local diner and I said fine but afterwards we're going grocery shopping....at Walmart. And I told him we were stocking our freezer and cupboards with stuff for him to eat for MEALS as well as snacks. We weren't leaving the store this time with just pototo chips and pudding cups. I barely even got anything for me...this was all about stocking the house with food for HIM.

He took it pretty well before we got there but I wasn't fooled. It never fails we get in a store and his mood flips and he becomes completely irrational and pissy. We got about three aisles in this time before it kicked in...and you've never seen anything until you've seen a grown man trying to have a tantrum and stomp around in the store while pushing a shopping cart that had to weight at least 200lbs. He tried to make a sharp corner and the wheels stuck and he was jerkin the cart around and slamming it. This very well behaved and cute little red headed girl, who must have been all of 6, looked at him, then looked at me....then looked at him with her eyes all big. I was far enough back that I'm guessing the cussing that had started a few aisles back was still goin on. I got behind him and told him it's pretty bad when that little girl knows better how to behave in the store than he does.

Anyway he wasn't amused, but then I really wasn't either. He acts like he can't help behaving that way but I feel he's making a choice. I just think it's ridiculous, especially since I hardly ask him to go. But in the end we now have stocked cupboards and freezer stuff. And I told him if he doesn't want to go to the store then he better make me a list of stuff he WILL eat...which whenever I ask him to do that he says "I dunno".

I guess on the positive side of it he's pissing me off with the fast food thing and that's only going to motivate me to refuse to bring it home, period.

I know it's frustrating and irritating to you, but the picture you painted of your husband was hilarious. I just put Matt in place of your hubby and I started laughing. I think you should make a list of the stuff ya'll bought and have him just pick and choose from that each time you go shopping. that way you don't have to deal with the over grown boy syndrome, but he'll have FOOD not garbage to eat.
Glad you got that much more motivation to stay away from the fast food. I'm lucky enough to live a half hours drive from the nearest burger joint or taco bell. :D makes it easier to deny myself when I'd have to drive an hour just to have it.:svengo:
take care of yourself hun, and don't let your husbands tantrums and whining get you down. YOU know you're making a good choice, and that's what counts.
:driving:

Thanks Shandy :) And yea I'd do that with the food but like I said...by the next time I shop he won't want any of that food again and it would sit and go to waste. Love my husband but in some areas he is very difficult. I blame his mother, lol. We won't even go there though today.

Anyway I'm sure though that now that we have alot I can get him to tell me a few things here and there that he wants to keep things in the freezer. If nothing else I'll send him to the store and tell him to get stuff himself...without me. That actually worked ...once.... lol

But yea...he is pretty funny because he's so ridiculous. And I did find it partially amusing but only because of that little girl looking him like "what the heck?". Not sure what I'm going to do when WE have kids and they see him act like that. I mean when they copy him who do I spank? Him or them? lol
 
I've apparently perfected the "eyebrow of death" look for Matt when he starts acting like a brat. I just look at him like he's lower than pond scum and raise my one eyebrow. it's hilarious. he goes all wide-eyed and just shuts up. :D can't get much funnier than a guy that is a good 7 inches taller and 60 lbs bigger than me getting put in his place by a look. :D I love it:biggrinjester:
 
Wish I had that power, lol. Although if I threaten to invite my hubby's mom over for lunch or dinner that has shut him up a time or two. Last time all he said was "You're not right" (not right as in mean) and walked away, lol.
 
I wish I had that problem, lol. Although she hasn't been bad lately. She lives a few blocks over and she mailed our anniversary card to us ;/ She is SO weird
 
could be worse, we get invaded every year or so for 2 or 3 weeks. no choice in the matter and very little warning. she'll call one day and say she bought her plane ticket. :willy_nilly: drives me nuts
