Oh those thrills really add some zing don't they? The dancing and manual labour will have had a good effect on your body too. I wonder which one you prefer? :confused:.

It's interesting that you described your McDonalds. I started thinking again that I can work out what a "biscuit" is. Years ago I was told they were what we call a scone - reading your post I was thinking they're English muffins! Then I googled imaged...and they look like something half way between. I'll probably never work it out. (Our "biscuits" are cookies.) Well we nearly speak the same language. :)

I hope your week finishes well. :)

Funny thing is, I enjoy manual labor. I like working and helping out. Housework is tedious and the pay sucks. My hubby and I earned about $165 bucks pulling odd jobs on Mon/Tues. I took 30 cash and he got 20. The rest went to our account. It's now mad money. And we weren't out blowing money getting bored and shopping. We kinda like it. :)

Here in the South, we have biscuits, which are not really English muffins (they seem more dense, those muffins). Biscuits here are generally light and fluffy.

One thing that's always boggled my mind about the word "biscuit" is that in Spanish it's "bizcocho." Or that's what our Spanish teacher said. "Bizcocho" is really a sponge cake. But it sounds oddly like "biscotti," and those are hard cookie-esqe things. So it all comes back to your biscuit cookies.

Neat, huh?
 
I hurt like a mother ------ yesterday. Well, I'll live.

Food:

BF- McD's southern style chicken biscuit and Diet Dr Pepper
L- 2 burritoes (my father-in-law made 'em, so I can't vouch for what was in 'em)
S- no snack! I was so darn hot I couldn't eat.
D- boneless, skinless chicken breast, green bean casserole (no salt added green beans, fat free cream of mushroom soup, skim milk, French's onions
DS- reduced sugar devil's food cake, no sugar added vanilla ice cream, sugar-free caramel ice cream topping

I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash, did the grocery shopping and unloading, and ran errands with a 3 yr old. Is that enough exercise for a physically beat woman?! LOL! I also pinched a nerve, so I'm having some pain. Now what?
 
Ok the whole biscuit thing - lol - a bisquit is kinda like a little cake but in a harder more dense form - we quite often make them as a desert and put strawberries on them - bisquits are so yum - I should make some cheese ones, lol...

For the life of me I can not remeber the name of the lead singer from Pap roach...and ya Hinders lead singer does looks kinda fruity normally...

Sorry your physically hurting...my body is roungh today - i had a looong physical day yesturday - have one today adn one tomorrow also I need to get into Curves today and my body hurts from work being sick and from my last work out at Curves...LOL...

All the driving really sucked. Bleck. Then there was the whole packing and moving part. But I got totally and completely drunk for Cinco de Mayo and I didn't have to drive any of the 11 hour drive, so that was good. I cannot stand long car trips. And I got exposed to some drama that made me want to call some people out, but whatever. If at 24 I'm more mature than some people who have me beat by 7-10 years... I dunno. ::shakes head::
 
Ok, food yesterday...

EX- none really. I was so tired. I'm tired today. I hope I can make myself do something.

I have been so exhausted lately - but I remember from preschool and workign with kids that they tend to get more crazy as the weather gets nicer also - HA HA AH...rest up my friend - your still here - your still postign that is a good thing :):):)

[/QUOTE]
 
I was out because of internet issues- sorry! :rolleyes: Kinda liking these new smiley things. Hmm...

So I feel insanely better today. I finally blew up at my husband and had a LOUD arguement and I cried and then I just kinda went limp, ya know? Like all this bad junk inside me had to be exercised as loudly as possible. I know it makes little sense. I was upset because he's been avoiding me because I've been depressed and then he said all this mean crap about not wanting to deal with my issues. So I snapped. Because, honestly, we all have issues. I put up with a lot of his. Blah... drama... And then the idiot decided to be nice to me b/c as he put it "I can fix you being mad at me, but I can't fix you being sad." Which makes some sense since men feel that have to fix things. But when I came to him with tears in my eyes and he pushed me away, I think right then I hated him more than I loved him and now I don't know what I feel.

Yesterday's Food-

BF- van's organic blueberry waffles, coffee, milk, splenda
L- lasagna (homemade-I made it!) doritoes
S- I didn't have one. I took a nap instead.
D- gorditas (2 wrappers, turkey meat, zesty ranch sauce, shredded cheese)
DS- reduced sugar vanilla ice cream, sugar free caramel topping
 
So my hubby and I are embarking on one of those week-long crash diet things starting Monday, as much as it ashames me to admit to it. I don't know if it will work or do us any good, but he's adament about trying. The worst that can happen is we don't lose or we lose and gain it right back. Or that we feel crappy and ditch the diet half way through. So, as embaressing as it is, we might as well TRY it. Just to say we did. And for that minimal chance of success. People do dumber things all the time.

I need to put the kids down for a nap. Yeah! Free time! I'll be in all week (as much as I can) to give progress reports. :rolleyes:
 
Well.... We flunked the diet on day 2. I was so sick! I had a severe headache that was going into a migraine (two days strong), my stomach was all queasy, I wanted to cry (and did a little), and my hubby just let it go. We ate at Sonic's last night b/c we were so starved we couldn't wait to actually cook, but we did not snack during the movie we watched last night (a first!). My headache even eased up enough to let me help my hubby paint our son's room. So I'm trying to eat much much much more sensibly because those two days did teach me something- what you eat is super important.

Like, this diet was basically all the free foods that you can eat and not much more. I learned how hard it is not to have a good balance. Perspective. Too much of a good thing might not still be a good thing. However, now my fridge is stocked with fruit and veggies and I have a personal goal to eat a lot of them! I'm munching on an apple right now and I had a lean pocket for lunch. I skipped breakfast due to being a mom. I know, I know. I'll try harder. :rolleyes: But I want to try harder, so that counts, right? I'm not even really bummed that I flunked the diet. There was another factor for failure, and I will leave it at that.
 
I'm thinking that maybe I should start anew. I have been suffering from severe anxiety, panic attacks, mild depression, and the "I just don't care anymore" attitude. My weight has slowly been creeping up. I'm back in the 18s I was wearing last summer. (Although, in my defense, they sure do fit better and one pair is too big!) I had this goal to lose weight before my daughter's birthday party which will be on Father's day this year. I looked so AWFUL in the pics from last year. Embaressing, actually. I look better, but only by a bit. I need help!

I tried to put in a pic to prove my point... we'll see if it took. Here's a way more recent pic of me.

I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about going on meds for the problems I'm having. I almost deleted my account on here this morning b/c of my mood. I just didn't want to admit I was failing. And that's not pride. I just couldn't handle being faced with it. Yeah, it's a big SOS over here.
