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!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

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 ...
