Thursday!! I'm so glad this week is almost over, I need a nap!!
Last night I was playing Bejeweled Blitz and I accidentally bought the $20 coin package. I was trying to buy the $2 one,but I hit the wrong button. I guess at least now I have 1.5 million coins. I'm blaming my broken arm for hitting the wrong button.
I have a nice, relaxing weekend of netflix and pajama's planned. Let's hope M supports my plan. I do not want to do anything that could cause an injury. Between the broken arm, sunburn, and snot, I'm done with pain and inconvenience. I want easy for awhile.
Wednesday!!! My sunburn is slowly feeling better. At least the parts that aren't peeling. I really have nothing to complain about today. I mean, yeah, I'm still sneezing and snotty and my arm hurts, but I feel okay.
Last night I went to ZammyZou's for dinner. He made steak, quinoa and a salad. It was very good. Then we watched The Breakfast Club. One of my all time favorites.
I have 11 voice mails to deal with and today is the first day of our "Decorate the Office" fundraising activity. I need to make sure we are all set up for that. So far our summer long fundraiser has been quite successful. I'm very happy about that!!
Tuesday....blogging is hard because typing with one hand is hard. But I'm getting better at it.
I had a great weekend. The Pride parade was fantastic. But I got so sunburned.My nose and shoulders are blistering. It's incredibly painful. To add to that, I'm dripping snot. I'm just a mess.
Last night I cooked for M - a General Tso stir fry with ramen noodle cake under it and a couple of the egg rolls we made a few weeks ago. It was fantastic. And then we watched The Martian. It was a very good movie. The only bad part of the night was sneezing and blowing my nose every 15 seconds. Ugh!!!!
Tonight is dinner with ZammyZou. He make the best salads.
I can't believe it's only Wednesday. This week is dragging on and on. I slept horribly last night, I kept waking up coughing. I so hope I'm not getting sick. I don't really have time for it.
If I hear "Come Sail Away" by Styx on the radio one more time, I'm going to scream. 3 of the stations I alternate between have been playing it like over and over. I liked the song 1800 listens ago. But now it won't go away.
Tuesday!!! It's been a long last week and a half. Having a broken arm is harder than I ever imagined. Only being able to type with one hand is extremely difficult. I'm trying hard not to whine about it, but it does really hurt. The doctor guy told me that all the pain would be gone within another week. I hope he's right!!
Really, that is all that is going on in my life. It's been my arm and really nothing else. I haven't wanted to do anything or go anywhere. Hopefully life gets more exciting once I ditch the splint!!
Thursday! This morning I have an appointment with an orthopedic specialist to determine my fate, Hopefully the splint will come off at least temporarily, because my arm itches. I'm trying really hard to just suck it up, but that's making me cranky. So I'm pretty much annoyed with everyone about everything. So don't take it personally. I'm annoyed with everything. Mostly because I'm in pain and trying not to whine about it.
Tuesday.....I had a long weekend. Apparently I suck at rollerblading because I fell and broke my arm. And now I suck at typing because I can only use one hand. I'm trying not to whine, but this hurts. A lot. My whole left side hurts. Even the drugs don't really help. Ugh!
In better news, it was a great excuse yo go shopping. I stopped at Goodwill and bought every pain of leggings they had. Because I can't do buttons or snaps. So at least I will be comfy even if I'm breaking the work dress code.
FRIDAY!!! The work week is nearly over. I'm ready for the weekend! Tonight is grocery shopping with the Princess followed by cleaning the kitchen. Tomorrow I have tentative plans to go rollerblading. If that falls through, then I will definitely be doing something that burns calories. A walk maybe.
Last night I had a taste test and I added up all the points of the samples and it was as many points as dinner. So I had cauliflower and an orange for dinner. I need to be careful with the unconscious eating. The things I don't really think about, like licking the spoon. Those things have calories, and I need to make sure to give them points.
I think I'm ready to paint my nails again. They seem to be doing so much better. Now I need to make them pretty.
The day before Friday!! It's a rainy day outside, but the week is nearly over. Just 2 more days before the weekend.
Tonight I have a taste test thing, and I really need the money. Eating healthy is way more expensive than living on junk food. And junk food tastes better. Why am I even doing this? Yeah, the wanting to fit in smaller sized clothes things. And the wanting to be healthy thing. So I'm probably making the right choice.
Wednesday!! My weigh-in was okay. I'm at 7 pounds lost total, which is decent for 2 weeks. But obviously I wanted more! I want to lose like 20 pounds overnight. It was so nice last night that I went for a walk.
I went to a workshop over lunch yesterday and they served a fantastic lunch. And I could not resist eating the creme brulee. At 26 points, it was not a good choice. But it was worth every bite. So I am now out of weekly extra points. I'm going to have to be super careful this week. But I can totally do it! The scale is going down and my clothes fit better.
Speaking of clothes, the Princess cleaned out her closet and gave me a huge stack of stuff. Some of it was mine that she was returning. But some of it was awesome, smaller sizes. I'm thrilled that I can comfortably fit my fat into a size 13/14 from Aeropostale.
Tuesday! Weigh in day! In a few hours I will know exactly how the ice cream affected my weight goal. But I'm feeling pretty okay about it. We'll see.....
So last night on my way home from work I encountered a super big jackass. Traffic was stop and go,and I was just driving along minding my own business. An old guy on a motorcycle in the next lane started screaming at me. I turned the music down to hear what he was saying. Apparently he saw my equality sticker and was yelling that I was a "homo" or a "homo-lover" and a whole bunch of other nice things. It took a lot to not turn my car into him and run him down. But I didn't. And I also didn't yell anything back because really, what would it accomplish?
I've never really had to deal with that sort of asshattery, and I really, really wanted to call him some horrible names. But the truth is that I feel kind of sorry for him. It must be horrible to have so much hate in your heart for someone you don't even know. I'm not gay, but I do support gay rights. And I'm nice to people who are nice to me. Wouldn't the world be such a better place if everyone could be nice to each other?
Another Monday....I had an excellent weekend, Very relaxing, and no stress. I did go a bit over my WW on Saturday, but the Cold Stone chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream was totally and absolutely worth it! It was sooooo good. And I really didn't eat that much of it.
Both the shrimp fajita and chicken fajita salads I made turned out excellently. I will definitely be making both again. I also got almost caught up on laundry. I'm very excited about that. It seems like the laundry is never ending, so to almost see the bottom of the basket makes me very happy.
I started watching the new version of the Beauty and the Beast tv show. I'm still undecided, but I think I like it.
FRIDAY!!!! This week has gone pretty fast. Which kinda makes sense since it was a short week.
I had a great night last night with the Princess and M. We taught her how to roll her own cigarettes and M gave her a roller. He is so kind and generous. Then we ordered pizza, and I ate a ton of it. I blew my weekly WW points all on the pizza. But it was soooo good. Totally worth it. But now I have to be extra careful this weekend to not go over my points. I can do this!!
Thursday!! It's been a pretty good week so far, here's to hoping that continues! I've managed to stay on track with Weight Watchers and stay within my points. And I even went on the treadmill last night. This weekend will present a challenge with the no drinking thing, but I know I can do it! With the dietbet.com pot up to $170, I have to make sure that I hit my 4% loss goal. I would also like to end June with only 20 pounds left to lose, and that is absolutely realistic at this point. That is super exciting!!
There is a super yummy Cajun shrimp recipe in my WW weekly book that I want to try. I need to go to the grocery store. I wish the Princess would eat shrimp, it is so low in points. She is really missing out!!
It's Wednesday already! I love short weeks. Last night I had a really good night. It started with a walk to the playground and swinging. I haven't been on a swing in a few years, so it was fun. I could have done without the trip down the slide though. I've got a ton of extra weight, but none of it is on my hips. So they banged against the plastic and ouch!! lol
Then me and M played cribbage. And because wonders never cease, I actually won 2 games. But I also badly lost a game, and since the skunk is worth 2 games, we ended the night 50/50. Although M was really not playing fair. He pulled out the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for a distraction. When that didn't work, out came the oreos. Followed by talking in detail about cake and ice cream and ice cream cake. It was hard to keep my head in the game when all I could do was fantasize about yummy food.
I didn't hit the 5 pound mark at my weigh-in, but I guess a 4.2 pound loss is okay. And next week I will hit 5 pounds. If I can avoid cake and ice cream and everything else I love to eat.
