Rolled Into One

Where do I start... Okay, okay I have been majorly slacking in the whole blog department and I do apologize to my blogger friends -- however even though I have not been blogging I want you to know that I still keep up w/ all of you :0)

D-Day Destruction

I fell off the wagon and have been off for a week now -- I stopped taking my diet pills which then made me super sleepy all last week due to caffeine withdrawal and the rainy weather and pms did not help that situation at all either. I did not go to the gym one time - I ate crap all week and felt like poo!

Tomorrow I am starting over -- I'm going to the store buying salad and fruit and good healthy stuffs -- I'm going to the gym and not ... I repeat NOT sleeping in until noon!! Plus I find I do not sleep good if I don't work out -- that alone makes me want to work out b/c I love good sleep!!

Life and tough decisions

Last week was a bit stressful for me -- it turned out that our coordinator has accepted another position within the hospital and therefor her job is now open. I have been and still am undecided on the options before me -- I am currently in a great work schedule - I only work Thur/Fri/Sat from 11a-11p -- yes it is my whole day BUT its only 3 out of 7. Well this job would be Sun - Thur 7a-3p which isn't bad at all either and I have Fri/Sat off and it includes a pretty good pay raise. It's a hard decision b/c no matter if I get this position (which I have a very strong chance of getting) or not I am wanting to go back to school in the fall -- the extra $$ would help w/ that since I am not wanting to take out any more student loans and also I am in a great need of a new set of wheels BUT it also means going back to working 5 days a week which include Sunday (I HATE working Sundays) and it would come w/ more responsibility b/c it is a management position. So I applied for it and will probably have an interview and whatever happens - happens - if its meant to be then it will.

D-Day + 15

So I went to the gym to be disappointed in the fact that I gain a pound back --- But I ate out ALOT last week and I need to stop doing that!!! FAST FOOD IS NOT GOOD -- even if it is your only meal other then cereal for breakfast....We went grocery shopping today and I got stuff to make a salad so I'm going to throw it all in a bowl and try to eat it tonight for dinner and tomorrow for lunch or something ... I don't know .... blah.... we did get these Special K crackers ---they are soooo... good!! We got the Italian Tomato & Herb ones...yum! I highly sugguest you try them! 17 is 90 calories and 24 is 120 calories -- I think I've had more then 17 :0) - even thought I haven't lost any weight I do feel a bit more lean...does that make sense...pluse muscle weighs more than fat and it takes muscle to burn the fat....ya something like that..at least thats what I'm going to keep saying to myself.

D-Day + 7

So as of today it has been one week since I started my diet w/ my diet pills and I have lost about 3lbs - which itn't bad since I only went to the gym once last week and I ate like crap this last weekend. I did have two REALLY bad headaches which Callie says is from the pills.... one I know is b/c I slept way too much one day and felt like I had been hit by a truck by the time I finally crawled out of bed. So this week is better I already went to the gym today - I do feel more energetic especially when I get on the treadmill I feel like I can go and go and go

--- Ok I hit something on my comp and now every this is underlined ---- I don't know how to stop it WEIRD ---

Anyways -- my appetite has diminished alot!! That has been the main thing - oh and I drink more water - and I like it - I don't crave diet coke like I use to which is also a bonus :0)

Tomorrow I am going to try and get up and go to yoga at 8am -- I will let you know if this actually happens since I'm lucky if I get out of bed b/f 10am on most days.

D-Day

Well today is D-day #1 (diet day) I have to do something and now I am going to blog about it so this means I gotta do it -- I wouldn't want to disappoint my blog friends nor be embarrassed for slacking online :). So here are the dirty details and some may think this is crazy BUT I have to post the truth. I am 5'1 use to be small build now topping 149lbs - the most I've ever weighed in my entire life and I hate it. I hate the way it looks!! I am disgusted w/ my own self. So I have to change thats all there is. Now I ordered some diet pills -- which I want you to know I am typically TOTALLY against diet pills -- but I did research and read reviews and they don't have ephedra in them and Brad took them about 8 months ago and he said they didn't make him shaky or anything - so I took the first one today b/f going to eat sushi w/ the sweetest girl I know and I feel fine on them so far - Brad said they gave him energy, I'm not feeling that but maybe thats b/c I was up until 330am reading my book last night - IT'S SO GOOD!!

So anyways now that I've posted this I have to stick w/ it! Tomorrow is gym day, today is clean the bedroom day (which is a workout since I'm planning on rearranging) oh and I had to give Cooper a bath since he sat in mud ....silly dog
