Missed opportunities

This week has been crazy.

I haven't been able to do as much exercise as I would have liked because a few unplanned events kept me from it.

Last night I was planning to walk after work but a friend of mine needed someone to sit in for her and get a manicure as part her friend's exam. She was stuck and really needed someone, plus it was free. But, it meant that I didn't get home until late last night and then felt too tired to walk this morning.

So of course I told myself I would walk this afternoon, but then this morning the person I carpool with told me that she couldn't give me a ride home tonight so I had to catch the bus and by the time I arrived home it was raining and already getting dark.

I feel so defeated. I hope it is not raining tomorrow morning because I need to get this together.

And to make the day even worse, payroll has taken another large sum of money from my check without telling me why and by the time I left work they still had not gotten back with me to tell me what the hell was going on.

I'm not very impressed with having money missing from my check two pay periods in a row. And I'm really not impressed with how long it is taking them to sort it out.

On top of all of that, I have huge knots all in my upper trapezius that is making my life sheer hell.

So you can see today I am not in the most cheery of moods, but I am not forgetting my goal. I can still see the end in sight.

I know how you feel. I started my diet Monday, and while my eating has been good I haven't been able to exercise because my daughter has a stomach virus. I felt defeated by it, but then I said - This is what I could do today. I did the best I could do. And tomorrow, I will do the best I can do. Really, that's all we can do!

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 ...
