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

DAMN you're a Virgo, right? :D You're super prepared and organized! :hurray:

Glad your clothes feel looser--mine are only like that if they're clean enough to warrant wearing them 2 days in a row ;)

Taurus :) And I'm not always organized but I'm working at it because it'll help me stay on track. I had our apartment perfect and easy to keep clean but once we moved I'm still trying to figure things out.

My hubby made me mad today and I didn't want to sit around looking at the side of his face playing "call of duty" or hear him yelling from the next room. So after I ran an errand I got taco bell and went to a movie by myself. He's been working long hours 6 days a week and we haven't gone out in a while. It's my day off and I seriously needed to get out of the house. So I was like dang, when I was single I had no problem going to the movies by myself so what's the problem now? So anyway taco bell tasted really good. At the theater I didn't NEED the popcorn but I new I had the flex calories. Except I really felt like I was cheating still. Don't know why I still have that stuck in my head when I've been eating alot healthier over all. One time of popcorn isn't gonna send me to hell.

I have noticed though that I'll have several days in a row where I don't care if I eat or not or get sidetracked and my calories are low like they have been. But at the end I always have a day like today where it catches up and all I want to do is eat. I'm hoping this flex calorie thing will work and even all that out and not cause more problems in the end. Guess if it does I'll go back to basics. So I'm tired and rambling.

I'll just end saying I went to see "he's just not into you" and I liked it. Hasta manana :)

WHAT IS IT WITH CALL OF DUTY!?!??!?! I don't get it!!!!!!! I can hear my neighbor playing that when i go in the hallway. INSANE. There are really times where I don't understand men.

I loved he's just not that into you! I saw it last weekend and LOVED Ginnifer Goodwin. Although it only further increased my Bradley Cooper crush instead of decreasing it...why do I like such douchebags?!!?
 
So as I was typing this I heard the little cowbell I just bought ring from the doorknob. We are trying to potty train the puppy still and I got really excited, lol. I danced all the way to the door yelling "good lilly!" Yea I know she probably isn't making the connection yet but this is the second time she's rung the bell so I'm sure if I flip out and run and open the door like that every time she's going to get it eventually.

Unfortunately after we came back in I realized she'd already made a boo boo. And I read an article that said this:

"If you find a mess after the fact :
1. Do not punish the dog.
2. Accept the fact that you were not paying attention to the dog.
3. Do not show the dog that you are upset. Calmly put the dog on his leash and bring him to the location of the accident. With the dog at your side, firmly scold the potty. Do not scold the dog.
4. Blot up some urine, or pick up some stool with a piece of paper. Take the evidence and the dog to the latrine area. Place the paper on the ground and with the dog watching praise the potty for being in the "right" place. Temporarily leave the paper there. (Remove it when the dog isn't watching)
5. Clean up the remaining mess in the house as outlined above. "


Even though I laughed while reading this I tried it just now. I scolded the heck out of that poop for being on the carpet! Then I took it outside on the newspaper while Lilly followed probably wondering what the heck? Then I put it outside where she should go. Unfortunately she grabbed the newspaper, shook off the poo and went tearing across the yard. SHEESH.

I swear though we're doing something wrong because at 6 months I would think she'd have a better grasp of being trained by now. My vet is on vacation until the 16th and I do suspect she may have a urinary tract infection so I'll have to get a sample to take in and get tested. If she does that would explain alot because I read it's almost impossible to housebreak them if they have that. Ok enough of my rambling, lol.

So puppy had another accident inside. This time my husband scolded the "dookie". Then I told him he had to go put it outside and praise it for being out there. He looked at me like I was nuts and said he had no shoes on but I insisted so he did, lol. Hey what's the fun of being married if you can't get your hubby to do stuff so you can laugh? :X The dog's not gettin it but I'm sure she thinks we're nuts, lol.
 
Oh and I still have 289 flex calories. I'm hungry right now but tired too so probably I'll just go to bed, lol. Maybe that's why I dreamed I was stuffing my face LAST night :X
 
Hi :) :) just popping in to say thanks loads for passing by my journal & also thanks for leaving such a nice comment too :)

Awwww I've been reading about your new pup's escapades and was cracking up hahaha...he sounds adorable; I am dying of jealousy here........ I would give anything to be able to own a dog, infact I'd have at least 3 if I could! But we can't keep pets in my building :(

With the diet, hey, as long as you keep chugging away you'll be hunky dory... the worst thing we can do is give up altogether.
WE CAN DO THIS THING!!
Also I reckon the idea of flex calories sounds pretty good, and probably works - after all it should all balance out in the end - it's not daily calorie but weekly intake that counts if I'm not mistaken...... IMO anyway!

But heck, what would I know, I eat the same freaking thing every day lol :)

I love your avatar by the way !:Angel_anim:

Hope you're having a great weekend and Valentine's day! :) :seeya:
 
Hey Sophia :) That avatar is our puppy Lilly. And we lived in an apartment too until recently and before that I wasn't in a position to keep a dog so it's been ...wow...over 15 years since I had one? I was still living at home :X So we're pretty excited.

Thanks for the support and I look forward to talking to you more!
 
You too! She's a shih tzu...the one in my avatar. I really need to put some pics of her in my album. I have TONS. Plus more of me recently....don't know why I'm putting it off, lol.
 
So today ...was going to start off alot different. I got up and the first thing I saw on the coffee table was my husband's snacks laying out of a bag....and some of them were no bake cookies. That's one of my favorites. So I tossed it back in the bag and walked away and was going to go for a walk.

Got my shower and dressed ready to go and opened the door....it was freaking cold as hell and snowing big time. Some light rain at a bit warmer temperature I could have handled.

Anyway to make a story short I also threw my calories out the window today and not only ate those cookies but a ton of other stuff...basically ate all day with my husband while watching movies and playing games. I haven't done that in a while and it was nice to have a pig out day. Tomorrow I'll be posting my calories again :)
