SaturdaySaint's Diary

Alllllllllllllll right..here's the breakdown for the night... I got home..DW is feeling INCREDIBLY sick so...I took care of the kids...got them fed, washed, in bed... and then made myself some grilled cheese with white american, lean turkey, fresh onion, and whole grain bread! Mmmm Mmm Mm...and oddly enough... I was kinda full... I'm still under my calorie quota for maintaining my weight...so that means I'm loosing...which is a good thing! Had a few more Milano's... as a treat to myself... and I'm JUST about ready for bed! Thanks to everyone who replied to me earlier... you guys know how to make a newb feel welcome!
 
Dang...that sandwich sounds good! I think I'll be having a very similar sandwich for lunch tomorrow. :p Thanks for the inspiration! Nite Nite!
 
Good start to a good morning!

So... The morning has started! I'm already at work, doing some overtime stuff before the actual day gets started... up and early like every week day, 4:50a.m. Get dressed...on the bike! I'm happy that I'm keeping a consistency of getting up. It's weird... every morning that I get up to work out this past week, I've looked forward too it... Which is unusual... because normally, I'll get 5 minutes into the work out... not want to do it... and not really push myself through my work out... not this past week though... I've been going full steam ahead, motivated...happy...ready to go! I'm still not happy with looking in the mirror. I want this stomach gone... it's like my glasses...it's been around for so long, it's hard to believe that it's actually going anywhere... but my cloths and the way they fit are telling me otherwise! :) I had some Kashi Oatmeal (maple...mmmmm) and two turkey sausages for my protein... didn't have my dairy though.... oh well... My work out Regiment went as follows:

20 minutes Stationary
20 minutes Gazelle
30 Pushups
12 situps (Started cramping in the stomach after 11... I just couldn't do it :( :( :( )

I was SOOOOOO Frustrated I was able to do 20 situps yesterday... was wondering if I did something wrong... same thing always happened to me when I was in the Army.. some days I'd go for what seemed forever... then the next time we did Physical Training... It was like I was a first week recruit... just wasn't the best situp session... ANYWAY

DW is feelin sick again today... we're trying to go to South Carolina for Christmas to visit my dad/grandmother/aunts one last time before we move... well..we'll probably go there one more time before we move. Only bad thing is... yet again...money is low... not even sure if we'll be able to get much of anything for the kids... there'll be stuff under the tree from other family but... it's just frustrating. Sorry for going off topic..just stuff that's on my mind... I just got a raise but... we're still playing catch up (my last job was TERRIBLE and put us in the hole big time...) It's just one thing after another... so I plug along!

Back to the laughy laughy joke joke :)
So... My goal today is to get 100oz of water down today at the very least! I accomplished it yesterday.... Going for gold today! Need to have some tea..then get started with it! I'm gonna hang around the boards today... throw in my 2 cents when I can... I SO want to be apart of the group... I already feel excepted... I just want to be a "regular"...know what I mean? :eek:
 
what an absolutely beautiful family you have and you're kinda cute yourself :D

doesn't take long to be a regular around here - you fit in quite well... we like 2 cents submitted... so have some fun :D
 
Thanks for the compliments!!! Have I told anyone here that flattery will get you EVERYWHERE with me?!?!!!!? :p :p :p

This site is most certainly keeping me motivated to stay on the horse! And tonight's The Biggest Loser! Can't wait... it's another big motivator for me! It helps me stay focused as well... determination!
 
You're tellin me... kinda had "sticker shock" though when I saw that three pieces are 110 calories!!!! Well... I don't even want to think of what that filling is made out of... sure as heck does taste good though!!! :)
 
there's no reason why you can't have chocolate as part of your lifestyle change :D just fit the calories into your day... go for the dark chocolate for more flavor punch.. and it's good for you - those flavanoids do something good for your body.. :D The Hershey's Dark Chocolate (65 percent cacao) are 220 calories for 4 fun size bars -a nd 1 bar really satisfies a chocolate craving...
 
You are just a WEALTH of knowledge! Thank you thank you! Wow..sometimes I feel SO guilty for having something that is considered "candy" or junk food or sweets... like I'm committing a cardinal sin... LOL... even my DW says "Calm down...it's OOOOkay!!" I'm silly.

/how to tell you have children: You call yourself "silly" in adult company!
 
Lets see...I've been tagged... here goes my (probably first of many) 5!

1. I met my wife online
2. I will NEVER go on a Rollercoaster (unless you want me sick for the rest of the day)
3. I've been the drummer for too many bands to name
4. I had blond hair once (look at my pictures that I posted to see why that would be deemed "odd"... think Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man!)
5. I once went to the beach..didn't have any swimming trunks... was coaxed to get in the water with just my boxers... they were the loose kind (not form fitting) and by now..I would imagine that they're in the bottom of the ocean with Aerial's "Whosits and what-its"... all in all, the waves were a bit strong and took them out to sea... My wife (girlfriend at the time) laughed for a good while then finally decided to bring me my jeans... wet jeans on the drive home... kinda uncomfortable! LOL...

Thats it for now! :)
 
giggle giggle giggle giggle

wimminfolk are so cruel :D

giggle giggle giggle giggle

i'm not sure if i'm scared or impressed that a grown man can casually add a reference to the little mermaid n a post :D
 
Of course...the day that I say..I'm going to eat all healthy stuff..and not eat anything that I used too... we have a LONG meeting and they order pizza in so we don't have to leave for lunch... They're out to get me! They love their big chocolate teddybear!

Be back in about an hour!
 
ROTFLMAS!!! That is the best story about the ocean! And... sitting in wet jeans is the worst! I hope too many people were not around to embarrass you even more.
And... a rock star huh? I keep trying to learn to play the guitar. I haven't had much luck yet, but someday I'll be able to sing to my kids and play the guitar.
