ugh

I worked hard all week. I had a great week with very good eating! I honestly did. But I am starting to rethink the Monday weigh-in now. I know I did it that way to try to make me be consistent and eat well on the weekend, but I had such a bad day yesterday that I am worried all my hard work will be undone.

I am nowhere near my scale so I can't find out the horrible truth.

I am blown away with all the wonderful comments on my new design! A few people have questioned the lizard, and I have no real reason except that I thought it looked good. I was going to put a turtle, you know slow and steady wins the race, but the turtle didn't look as good as the lizard. So there you go. What reasoning skills I have!

I am seriously thinking of rejoining Weight Watchers. But at the moment we are soooo poor. We may not even be able to buy our groceries unless we put them on credit.

I want to make some necklaces to take around to local shops to see if they'd be interested in selling them because I've had so many lovely comments about the ones I've made for myself, but I don't even have the money for the materials. *sigh* And time, that is something I never have enough of.

I went with a friend from work to the Shutzenfest yesterday (spending money we don't have) and I saw the sister of this girl and I said hello and was on my way. I never ran into her again, which I think was a good thing because I really didn't want any drama in my day. I had a good time and had a few German beers, but it started raining so we left around 4:30. I was so tired from all the beer that I ate a hamburger and chips from our local fish shop and fell right to sleep at 8pm.

This would be why I am now awake at 6am on a Sunday.

I'm sorry to read about your lean financial times. I know how hard that can be, and wish we could all win a lottery - even a small one - to help ease the day-to-day fiscal stress that so many of us face.

Sounds like you've got lots of irons in the fire, though. AND a great blog to boot. I'll be back!

I love the new look but am finding the actual blog hard to read due to the background - just thought I'd say so.

You are very clever doing this though!

hey! i love the new patterns babe! I am thinking kind of kaleidoscope movie thing? Maybe? It so sucks that healthy food costs more than crap food doesn't it? If we could have a packet of chips, a pie and an iced coffee a day we'd be laughing ( and fat) but laughing! I think you should DEFINITELY sell your gorgeous jewellery! Maybe put one item as an auction on your site. Seriously - it could be really fun!!!! Everything big starts with tiny little baby steps. You have a great network here, so use it. Your necklaces would make GREAT presents and we all buy presents. Use the money from your first one to buy your materials for the next two and fly chicken little, fly!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey look at you! I leave for the weekend and come back to -- wow! to the layout and your plan, and the updated pix, love your hair.

All the best Rebeka as you renew your commitment on this journey. You inspire me always.

Me again - I can read this better now. Did you tone the background down or am I losing it? Anyway, it looks great and I'm sorry about your money worries...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
