Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Thanks to everyone who complimented the pictures from the weekend. You know how to make a girl blush.

We enjoyed our dinner and then we actually got to hear hairy lemon again because they were playing across the street from where we ate. It was a total coincidence.

I'm still in a lot of pain in my shoulders and I know it is from the tension at work. I spoke again to my team leader yesterday and he doesn't really take my complaints about getting help seriously because in his words, he is not getting that feedback from anyone else. Just because I am the only one that ever speaks up about anything. Everyone else is just scared shitless.

He did tell me that there are no time restraints placed on me when I am doing that particular job, so I am to take my time and not let call quality or anything bother me. This is very easy for him to say in theory, but when you have someone waiting on the phone it is just your instinct to try to help them in a timely manner.

All I can do is try to keep myself calm and when I feel the stress getting high, take an extended break off the phone.

I have a massage booked for Saturday. I hope it is enough to help reduce the pain.

I'm not doing that good with the exercise this week. I did go for a run/walk yesterday morning for 5 laps. But I was just too exhausted this morning. I slept in a little extra and my eyes are still stinging from the tiredness. I will try to get out tonight after the sun goes down. Maybe just for a walk with mr. ralph. I should also do my strength exercises.

For Valentine's Day I had flowers waiting for me at home. It was quite unexpected since he bought me the new shoes from the pictures as my pressie, but it was a good surprise. He got me two arrangements, one is just a bunch of pink and white tulips. They are absolutely beautiful.

good for you speaking out at work. i always say if one person is speaking out there are 10, 50, 100 who are too scared to do so. not everyone has the courage.

I got fuchia, orange and red tulips! I just adore tulips, I find them the simpler and yet prettiest flowers! I actually adore the way they seek for sunshine, as they turn their heads to the sun! Glad you enjoyed this extra surprise!

Hi Rebeka - thanks for stopping over at my blog earlier.

Ouch - not good when work is being a "real" pain. Hope Saturday gets here soon enough for you for your massage!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
