Hey girl,
sorry I haven't visited your diary since now...I'm still learning how to get around in here. I guess I should start one to keep myself on track.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Please pray for me, we had Mexican tonight out w/ some friends and yes i had a sopapia (sp?) too.....How "good" have you been?

It's ok, consider yourself prayed for! :) As for me, I haven't been too "good" this week...it's been rather stressful so I haven't eaten as much I'm supposed to. When I stress I go for chocolate (my comfort food) and a store and shop til I drop, LITERALLY. :eek: I'm working on that...I've got almost 33 years worth of "programming" to undo though. :(

PS About the diary, please start one so I can check in there with you daily.
 
Today is better so far...

1 Thomas' whole wheat English Muffin
Light Cream Cheese

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm ready to get back to work. The backbone of my success is routine and once I get off of it it's hard to stay motivated. :(

Being on vacation for two months has thrown my workout schedule off and while I workout at home it's not as fulfilling as going to the gym on a regular schedule. When summer first started, I was squeezing in Curves when she had a play date or some other scheduled activity, but then those times didn't come so frequently. And I feel so guilty about asking someone to keep her while I do anything for myself. I know I shouldn't, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me but I do...that's why I don't date, but that's another story.

Getting back on topic, that's the one thing about Curves that I don't like...no childcare. During the summer I don't have anyone to keep my daughter so that I can go there. She goes with me to our complex gym, she can watch TV, sit by the pool and read or draw (I can see her from the treadmill :) ) or ask me a million questions while I try not to pass out on the treadmill. For that reason I've been considering joining the Y, which is in walking distance from my place. I've been going up there all summer...and am yet to actually get there. :(

But good thing is, I go back to work on Wednesday and I've found a local daycare for her to go to. The lady that owns it is one of her afterschool teachers, so I'm very familiar with her and I trust her with my child. My daughter will be attending this daycare for six of the seven days before school starts back, so needless to say I'll be in Curves every one of those days. I CAN'T WAIT! It's going to feel so good to get back in the swing of things. I'm planning to drop those 5 lbs the first month back! I hope I go back at least one pound lighter. Hoping/praying to be at least 139 when I weigh in on Wednesday...every little bit counts!!!

Since I'm a Wednesday whiner kinda person :D , thanks Mal for pointing that out to me, :p I thought I'd stay true to that and vent a little so here goes...ROTFL

I feel as big as a house! Being a woman really sucks some times. I've had PMS all week, irrititable and cranky...and at the worst possible time some idiot hits my car and takes off. So here I sit as bloated as a .... dang it I can't think of anything that I'm as bloated as! :mad: :p I try to be angry and I get hit with word retrieval problems. Great...just great! Guess, I'll shut up now. :eek: :p
 
Smile!!!

Hey there!! Smile things will get better! Youv'e had a hard week and your'e handling it very well all things considered. I shop when I'm stressed as well!!
Today I bought a beautiful, hand made alpaca (sp) sweater from Equador! I absolutley love it! But don't ask what I paid for it! I bought it after an old friend walked by my booth at the fair and loudly stated how fat I've gotten! Yeesh! I wanted to wring her still skinny neck! This lovely woman from equador had the booth across from me and came to visit almost immediatly, she talked to me for awhile and i didn't feel as bad. I had my eye on the sweater for the past 2 days, so I went back and bought it this evening.
Keep your head up I get really bad bad pms, it's actually a running joke in my family!! Have a warm bath and relax, you deserve it girl!!! Me I'm gonna have a strong drink and lounge outside in my new sweater! Watch me some fireworks!! Take care!!!
 
Thanks Nanders!!! You're the greatest...I needed that. *big hug*

As for your "friend," some people can be such jerks!!! Nevertheless, I hope you're enjoying the sweater! :D I just LOOOOVE fireworks, I'm like a big kid when it comes to them! I hope the display was beautiful!!! :)
 
Hello ohappydays,
just wondering if your having a better day today...we are allowed to have our bad days, I had one yesterday...I ate practically everything in sight, i just quit trying to keep up with everything. But that's okay, there is a new week just ahead!!! We WILL get back into the swing of things....
 
Thanks

Hey thanks for your message in my journal:) !! I left a bit of an explanation about my friend there, but don't worry she's not a friend anymore!!! The fireworks display was okay but not real great. They cut the budget, so we only got 15mins. instead of the reg 1/2 hr. But I get to sit on my front lawn to watch them, so it's ok. I am enjoying my sweater!:p Hope you have great week!!! Talk to ya soon.

I am thanks, I'm slowing coming down from my shopping sprees...I only bought my daughter 2 outfits and a pair of pajamas today. :) So life is slowly coming back, still have a few issues to handle with my insurance but I'll get through it, prayerfully.

Hope your tomorrow is GREAT! Yesterday is over! ...thank goodness! :p

Glad to hear that she's not a local! She's SO not worthy of a friend like you!!

I know, I was slack yesterday...sorry about that. I've got to get back on the wagon (as you say :) ). Starting tomorrow (isn't it always tomorrow?) I'm going to post my meals everday. It's mainly because I go back to work tomorrow and I plan my meals when I'm working because I have to pack everything the night before. That keeps me on my toes. When I'm off, I plan my meals about 15 minutes before I eat them or 15 minutes before I start to prepare them. :eek: At any rate, tomorrow's the big day...back to work, no more vacation. As much as I hate to get back to the grind, I'm also loving the thought of getting my life (and my daughter's ) back onto a real schedule.

Congrats on the big sale!! And don't stress over yesterday, it's over now...and I hope your today is fantastic!
