Veronique's Diary

Hey Veronique - how are you feeling today? I read what you wrote in my journal and it's nice to know someone else is feeling the same way - sometimes I wish this was a local community board so I could come over one night and go for a walk with you or help you get the kids to bed and just chat. Thanks for being a good friend.
i'm sorry your weigh-in didn't go great but hopefully you will be feeling better this week and then things will go in the right direction again! I know you have it in you - keep it up! take care of yourself!

That would be great!!!!! I find that once you are done school it's so hard to meet new friends! I would be great to have someone to walk with me! I am hoping that my next weight in is better then the last but I know what I have to do to get results!!!!
 
Sounds like a nice weekend! Too bad the job couldn't fit your schedule, but congrats on getting the offer for it :) Sorry to hear that you borke your plateau with a gain, but maybe that's a good thing. Your weight has shifted and I think it will get moving again but it will be going down now! Nice job getting that water in, that's always a tough one for me!

Hey Sarah

I was thinking last week at least the numbers changed I am just hoping to see 177 this week lol! Not 178 again I never want to see that one again! Drinking water is now part of my usuall day at work at home I am too busy I sometimes in one day I only have time for 1 cup of coffee and 1 glass of water, I need to make the water a part of my routine at home as well!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
 
Just reading up on you Veronique...with my son on my lap lololol.

It is soooo good to hear you got offered the job! It sucks that it was not good for your schedule, but you never know what will happen! I am sorry to hear about the weight gain! Happened to me this week too and it really annoyed me coz on Saturday I was down a pound and today up 2.4 lolol but it is TOM.

I know what you mean about women not being weak...sometimes when I am at my last and I feel like I'm about to lose it, or I just can't go on, I repeat over and over in my head..."even when I am weak I am strong." Sounds silly but I find it to be true. I try not to let myself get pissed off at life about it but hey it happens! :p

This week Veronique We are losing 3+ pounds!
 
Congratulations on being offered the position, Veronique. This is a big deal. You are a superstar. Next one you interview for is going to be the right one for you. Things are looking up for you and that makes me so happy.

You did well over the weekend too. All that running around and running after kids must take so much energy. Hope you are also giving yourself a break. Don't worry about the scales. It really depends on how good you feel. Scales are EVIL. :) Just keep at it.

Have a great week!

I am suprise you where able to type with your son on your lap, my son always wants to paticipate in the typing and it comes out kind of funny!
When I was a teen I was actually a lifeguard (or had the lifeguard qualifications)but never had a job as one cause there are no public pool in the town I grew up in ...I could have killed(mabe not) for a place like that to open that would have been a dream job for teenage me. I think that is why I applied there, I kind of wanted the office jobs but still in the water park would have been nice. Oh well next interview will be the one.

I shouldn't get pissed of at life but I do lol! I am usually a very positive person, but when I am annoyed watch out!
Ok so 3 lb + it is this week...Your on!

May 18 2010

Good Morning!

So this Morning I got a really nice nap on the bus, so nice that I almost fell off my seat when we got into the city. I usually wake up as the bus takes the curve not today lol! That would have been so funny for the other people on the bus...probably not me, but someone would have gotten a laugh!

My daughter woke up like 10 times last night again....it's like payback for the fact that she slept 8hrs a night starting at 5days of age. I can't figure out why she does it comes and see me and want to sleep in my bed but I can't let her start that cause she will be like 12 and will be sleeping in my bed. Then she wants a sip of water, or she can't find her baby (little pink doll she had since the age of 6mo) I need my full night of sleep in order to loose weight I need the energy to workout, I need to talk to the DR to see what could cause that mabe it's stress or something, I just need to find a solution both her and I need rest peacfull rest she is getting sooo grumpy my usually little sunshine girl is stormy but she hasn't been sleeping well so that would explain it.

Last night I ended up having a Nature Burger on our new BBQ it's huge (the BBQ not the Burger lol) I think we could cook like 30 pattys on there finnally I have a BBQ that I can cook a whole meal in! I just love cooking on a BBQ. My daughter just loves to eat outside we have of of those portable picnic table that folds into a suitcase it's so cool we bring to the park in our yard when we go familly reunion it's so usefull and hopefully this summer we get to go camping that is if my hubby gets a weekend off at some point.

ok so I have to work now!

breakfast
oatmeal bannana bp 8pts
coffee 2pts

lunch
3 oz of chicken 3pts
salad with 2 tbsp of dressing 1pts
yogourt 2pts

snack
Green tea

16 pts total that leaves me with 7pts for diner
I am having a grilled chicken breast 3pts
1tbsp of bbq sauce (I will have to check the label and update later)
1 baked potato with 1 tsp pf butter no salt (book is at home so I will have to update this)
I am guessing I will be close to my 23 pts total so if I am still hungry salad with no dressing!
I will drink my water and my hubby is suppose to take out the bikes today so :) bike ride tonight!!! Yay!
 
Hey there, just stopping through to check on you. Ha, ha, I had a small nap early this morning on my desk before the staff came in. My baby woke me up too. I had really weird dreams and my co-workers where in them, so I'm going to try not to do that anymore. That was scary! What is a Nature Burger? I hope it was good. Hhmmm, burger.

I always sleep on the bus it's the only thing to do, the trick is not falling off your seat! My daughter is 3 she is not supposed to be having a difficult time sleeping she never did...lol Who wants to dream about co workers lol Scary!
A Nature Burger is a vegi burger made by the company Licks I think it is good but not the best I ever had. PC Brand makes portobello mushroom and mozzarella it's way better then the one I had last night but it was still good!
 
I had a small nap between meetings when we were waiting for people to show up. It felt amazing- power naps have received a bad rap in the recent years, but it works wonders on me.

Then when one of the presentations were going on, I took a nap with my eyes open. LOL . YES, it is totally possible to do that. It was soo hard to listen to this guy speaking (and it didn't help that he hadn't prepared his presentation). I was supposed to facilitate after the presentation, and that was the hardest one I have facilitated because throughout this guy's presentation, I was thinking about tomorrow and how I am going to squeeze running into this crazy schedule.

I know what you mean!! In my case my crazy schedule is my kids but all the same I find it hard to find me time ....but I need it so bad. I need time for sleep and time for working out and fixing healthy lunches I wish I could have a remote or a watch that pauses time so that I can fit everything in.

Good Morning!

Happy hump day! I am so exited this morning cause this weekend the hubby and I are going to this nice little in/spa we got a gift certificat and we are using it sort of celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary, a weekend early but that is when we had someone to watch the kids plus it's a long weekend! YAY! So I get to chill at home on monday! They have Nordik baths and all that is gonna be so nice! Ok back to reality it's Wednesday so I still have to focus on today. Last night I ate a 3 oz of chicken and 1 medium sized baked potato with nothing on it and I enjoyed it even with out the butter or salt I used to put on those things! I still don't have my book but I think a baked potato plain would be around 2 or 3 pts. I wanted to go for a bike ride yesterday but my tires are flat and I don't have a pump we used to go to a garage in the town we lived in before but where we live now there is nothing. I am gonna have to buy a bike pump. I really want to exercise more and the weather is warm enough now that I can give the kids a bath and put on their pj's give them there milk in the little wagon and go for a bike ride towing them....may even help calm down my daughter so that she sleeps better a nice calming ride. That is it I am buying a pump!

Breakfast
oatmeal, banana, pb 8pts
coffee 2pts

snack
green tea

Lunch
I don't have one cause my husband didn't get it when I told him to buy stuff to make a salad...How he didn't get that I don't know cause we where on MSN he knows how to read he went to university to be a teacher he's got to know how to read lol!
So I am gonna have to get something healthy somewhere I can walk to.
Diner
Salad a BBQ Chicken 5pts ( You will see a lot of bbq on here for a while it's been two years since we owned one so we missed it lol)

As Usuall I will drink about 4 , 43oz of water glass that is about 92 oz and then I will drink some more with diner tonight with my breakfast and diner I have used 15 pts wich means I can have 8 pts for lunch, that is a big lunch !
 
I love the bbq too and the fact that there are less dishes! We don't use our's enough because my hunnie is pretty lazy and I don't know much about cooking meat - I really should learn because I do love it so much. tonight we are having pork chops and I'm going to ask hunnie to cook them on there and if he says no throw them in the oven I am going to show him and cook them myself!
I bought a bike pump last year from Canadian tire and I think it was $12 - not too bad and we have used it lots. I like the tires to be full so it makes the ride easier.
That sucks about your daughter and waking up all night - I really feel for you because I get so mad if I hear the cat meow at 3am and all I have to do is wake up and throw him outside and then get to go right back to sleep and I complain about that all the time to my hunnie but you have it so much worse so I really shouldn't be complaining. I plan to start trying for kids about a year after marriage so I need to learn to have patience and be more understanding - you really are super mom! Keep it up Veronique!
 
Wow, I hope you have a very njoyabl spa weekend! I am supposed to buy a bike. I haven't rode a bike since I started driving 9 years ago! I want to ride along side my son who enjoys riding his. I don't know about putting the baby in the wagon and towing behind me though, I'm so paranoid! Don't worry about your workouts, I'm sure you are getting plenty just taking care of the kids. You'll get them in some time or another. Your food looks good, and from what I know, eating is the biggest part of weightloss. Keep up the good work, I got my eye (the one with the contact in today!) on you!

Thanks Lisa!! Being a good parent his hard work but so worth it!!!! I remember having a cat and it would piss me off when she would wake me at 5 am because mostly she wanted treats and someone to throw her ball (Yes my cat played fetch)

I am stoping at Canadian tire tonight getting a pump!!!! I want to ride my bike....LOL isn't that a Queen song????

The BBQ is still new so I would have to fight in order to do the cooking (what am I crazy ) he wants to cook let him lol...I will just run after my son lol he likes being chased now!

I am hoping for a very good one too!!!! They say you never forget how to ride a bike!!! When I put the kids in the wagon I alway bike facing traffic that way I can see what is comming toward us...I even got pull over by a cop because your supposed to go with traffic not against. I told him if you want to give me a ticket go ahead, the most precious people in my world are in this wagon and there is not way in hell I trust drivers enough to drive my back to traffic. He told me he would probably do the same if he had kids but I could get a ticket from another cop. I wish we have bike paths over where I live it would be much easier.
 
I have few min to spare but I wanted to say I went for a 30 min walk and was able to go down to the river wich I never do when my co worker comes with me it was so nice I think I might have my very first sun burn I need to find my hat!
 
Oh my! All this chat about kids waking people up in the night sure brings back memories!

Veronique- I can pretty much promise you she'll grow out of it! For years I had kids crawling in and out of my bed all night long.
Then, it stopped! My youngest are now 12 (twins girls) and they haven't woken me up for years! it stopped in about 2006, I think, so they were about 8.
You'll get to sleep...some day! LOL!
