My Selfish Year, and the journey to skinny

hahaha, feelinggooder, its funny you mention signs. I am notorious for signs about fake support groups.


One of my favorites that came out right after a few people submitted travel requests for training they didn't bother to put on their annual training plans before I wrote our budget.
 
On behalf of the employees (slackers) I wish to file a protest (whine) about your disreguard (dont give a crap) about our nutritional choices (really really shitty eating habits)
 
Last night was a crap shoot food wise. Today is a crap shoot food wise too. I ate too much last night, on accident, when I finally got online to log it all I was in the 1900 range. Today is a pot luck style lunch and I'm bringing a salad, at a satalite office I manage but don't work in regularly. Maybe I should switch offices and work in the satalite office...hmmmm...it's closer to my house....its an idea.


So, I'm planning on eating salad and chicken tortilla soup that another person is making from a ww recipe. From what I've read on the sign up sheet, those are the only two things that I can eat that are on plan for me. If I'm starving later I'll go to the store and get a healthier snack.


We had this crazy long power outage island wide all morning this morning. Lots of lost productivity as we were all sitting out in the lobby shootin' the shit. Talking about xbox and kinect Dance central and showing off our mad dance skills. It was funny. Talking about xbox when there is no power is so a sign of the times. If you can't play, you'll sit and talk about it.


Tonight, and for the weekend my plans are to clean the house like mad and shovel the driveway like mad. My truck is out of the shop but its 2 wheel drive so I need to clear the snow and ice out of the driveway. I hope it warms up enough that the salt I put down on the ice will do its job. Sometimes its so cold that the salt just sits there doing nothing. Ya...when the salt water in the bay is frozen you can pretty much guess its too cold for salinity to make a difference.
 
Dang! just reading that last post makes me cold....I would rub it in and tell you that its 65 degrees and sunny here but this summer when its 109 and the ground has cracks in it so big that we loose our Jr High football team you might remember.


Stay on plan this weekend...you are right at the point where people will start to notice.


And for goodness sakes stay warm!
 
Nice work planning for the safe alternatives in advance and having the backup plan of healthy snacks.


Your driveway sounds a lot like mine as it's pretty much a skating rink out there. I happen to be cursed on both seasons with a too cold winter and a too hot/humid summer.... The plus side is I get to make fun of everyone including myself...


Rain this morning, snow this afternoon...
 
Soooo, sometimes the best laid plans are sidetracked...by...fried bread. It's okay though, no sense beating myself up about, onward and downward. My 4th grade son kicked some ass in a spelling bee against 8th ganders today, too proud to let fried bread bring me down. He didn't win but he went for 7 rounds and was only outed because he got bookkeeper and forgot the second "k". On a funnier note, an 8th grader was out the first round for spelling jazz g-a-z-z. There was a huge collective face palm in the audience.


Soooo, right now, this evening I'm hanging out with myself, watching the boob tube waiting for soccer practice to be over so I can leave my house for the last time tonight, come home and begin my weeeeeeeekkkkkkeeeeeeend! Not eating dinner tonight due to the pot luck.
 
Overnight I lost five lbs. no, not really, but my scale came in the mail and it weighed me 245.4 this morning. I'm good with that! Lol! There is a 4.2 lbs difference between the two scales. Wow, big difference! The good thing though is that I can see the number on the scale now because it's big enough for my blind eyes!


It snowed crazy fat snow last night driven into drifts by 40 mile an hour winds and then somewhere in the night it wamed up to 34 degrees. Good news, that was enough to thaw out the bathtub drain pipe, bad news, now I have to go shovel out some seriously heavy snow.


I have a busy day ahead of me, shoveling, cleaning, soccer practice, grocery shopping, and a friend from college just moved to my area and wants to get together for some cocktails (diet coke for me).
 
oldschool...I have high suspicion that we know each other.


We had a spelling bee today at my school, i'm a special ed teacher, and a 6th grader got belled out of the first round for spelling jazz g-a-z-z too.....Is that like the most common word to spell incorrectly??!?


I'm in California though, where are you?
 
Lol! I'm in Alaska, soooo close. Well, I guess we can tell those kids they are not alone, someone else spelled it that way too.


Alice, I ordered the new scale because I can't see the dial on my old scale anymore, even with my glasses on, the lower weight is just a bonus.


I have a huge headache. I think I'm dehydrated so I'm drinking a liter of pedialite right now. I feel like barfing though. I may be coming down with something.
 
I bought a scale for the first time about a month ago. I wish I had bought one that measured by 10th of a lb instead of every 1/2 pound. Not worth buying another one, just happy it's at least digital!
 
The flu has struck. Full force. Both of us. It's hard to puke into the toilet bowl when someone else's head is in there.
 
I could lay down and die right now. But, I can't because if I did then I wouldn't be able to weigh myself tomorrow. Today in normal weigh in day, but I'm skipping it because I don't want to move from my blankie cocoon. My mom brought us soup to eat, and it has not been touched in the two hours that it's been here. The barfing has subsided, but the headache, fever, chills and hate for all things bright or smelly persist. I told my son this is what a hangover feels like and he said "I'm never learning to drink brooze."


Anyways, that's my daily update. Better get outta here quick before you get my germs!
 
Gotta love spending nearly all weekend feeling like shit and then waking up Monday morning feeling fabulous. WTF!!!! Wasted all my days off sick and now I get to work all week. I need a vacation. In fact, I've got a leave request form printed out and I'm selecting dates, I just want a good 9 days. I have to check with the school schedule to make sure it's a week where my son definitly does not have ANY days off to maximize my alone time at home. Lol!


I had my weigh in this morning and was 244.6. A little disappointing after all that barfing and pooping and sweating. But I think the soup my mom made was made of 90% salt. That and pedialite probably helps you retain fluid pretty good also.
 
Dang... bad luck with the sickness/getting better. Have to flip that schedule around next time... no more getting sick on a Saturday, that's what Mon/Tues is for ok??


Good to hear you're feeling better and plotting some real staycation time...
 
submitted the leave request for February 6th-10th which is a M-F so I'll have two weekends on both sides of that to enjoy. OMG. I hope they approve it! I'll die if they don't.
 
Yayayayayayaaa!!! Leave approved. and, damn my pampered life, someone just sent me a Harry and David gift basket full of crap. DAMN THEM! Okay, it had pears...but everything else is no on plan.
 
Oldskool, you have made me chuckle so much my sides are hurting!! You are one funny and brutally honest women! I'm gunna check in most days and see how you doing but yey for time off!!! I wish I was allowed time off :( Also I should definately join the selfish train! I'm going to the supermarket now to eye up all the food I cant have!! P.S I'm wearing my skinny jeans :p x
