Happy Halloween - All Hallow's Eve - Dia de los... on October 31, 2008 7:40 am
My biggest goal today was to get my butt to work! LOL
I went in at 12:30 and was anxious to get there as I had lots to do. Have already went for a 2 mile walk this morning - and froze!!! I did wear 2 layers of clothes, gloves, and a toboggan. Then I went to the tanning bed to thaw out.
Tried to plan my foods today so here goes:
B: 1 slice cheese, 1/2 slice toast, and a sugar cookie (damn those - have got to stop baking them!)
S: 1/2 of a left over Tilapia filet (Princess- the cat got the other 1/2!) , and 3 pita chips
L: Veggie Burger w/ 1/2 bun and no mayo
S: Tuna and handful of Dorito's
D: Chocolate EAS protein drink - HAD TUNA INSTEAD
S: 6 P-nut butter and crackers (this has worked GREAT as my last snack of the day - it keeps my blood sugar from dropping too low at night)
Exercise: 2 miles at the track  I feel so much better when I get my walks in. My next goal is to start some type of strength training and toning with weights....aiming for Jan. 09.
I need to pack a bag for the weekend. I am going to VA after work tomorrow. My nephew is 1 year old and his party is Saturday evening.  I wouldn't miss it for the world! Will try to post some pics when I get back and they can also count as my 8 month photos - since I haven't done those yet!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Well..........to start with, my sewage problem was the pump. Something had thrown a switch and the pump was simply turned off.........whew! No charges for that :)
Today's Intake:
B: 1 slice toast and 2 slices of cheese
S: 1 sugar cookie, 5 chips
L: 1 soy chicken burger w/ swiss cheese
S: 1 sugar cookie and 2 slices of kiwi fruit (dumped on this!)
D: 1 Tilapia filet, 3 bites corn
S: 1 pk. hot peanuts
D2: Probably an egg and 1/2 biscuit
Exercise: YAH! I took advantage of the nice weather and went for a 2 mile walk at the track this evening. Finally got motivated to do it. I think I missed it more than I realized..........and it is a great way for me to release stress instead of eating!

When it Rains it Pours on October 30, 2008 9:32 am
Did not make it to work today.
Thought I smelled a gas leak as I was leaving this morning. Called and had the heating company come check it. It wasn't a gas leak - but it is a sewer problem!!!!!! And a new sewer and pump was installed last spring!!!! So now I am trying to get in touch with the plumber! The good part is maybe it is still under warranty. I am hoping anyway.
My god - does it ever end?
Why so much bad karma coming my way?
Also lots of stress by not being at work - and stress if I go to work! UGH.
Changed my personal email account. If anyone needs it, please pm me and I will gladly send to you!

Today I had to miss work - again....and feeling horrible about it. Donovan's poison ivy had worsened and he had a fever with sore throat and sinus issues. Took him to the Dr. He got 2 shots and is on antibiotics now. He is already asleep and not feeling well.
This afternoon, I got my driver's license changed back to my original name, had passport photos taken, and have sent off for my passport!!!! :)
Today's Intake:
B: 2 eggs, 1 slice toast
L: Reno's - 6 grilled shrimp, 2 slices of cucumber, 1 cherry tomaote, several bites of a Spanish Rosebud/Bloomin Onion thing, and a handful of peanuts ( I dumped later and I am blaming the Onion - way too much grease!)
S: 1/2 granola bar
D: 1 baked Tilapia filet, 1/4 c. corn w/ peppers and onion, 2 Tablespoon saffron rice, 2 slices of english cucumber
S: 1/2 serving farina, 1/2 c. SF mandarin oranges
S: 1 small sugar cookie ( my stomach is hurting from this one too), and 2 slices of cheese (making an effort to get a little protein there)
Not sure why I am eating "bad" things.....stress maybe - my old comfort foods, hormones ?? who knows but I need to do better tomorrow!
Exercise: Embarassed to say none. Not sure how to get myself remotivated and back on track. I feel like I simply don't have time anymore.

Tuesday Oct. 28, 2008 - VENTING on October 28, 2008 5:01 am
Had a VERY stressful night. My son left home. He is 16 -almost 17.
We had a big fight and it was over money - I don't know where I have went wrong but I have obviously spoiled him way worse than I would have ever imagined. He is wanting $3000 for another truck. I told him no. He tells me I am greedy and he can't wait to leave home. I tell him he needs to get a job and earn his own money. I also told him that I love him very much but it has come to the point that I am not going to keep giving him money - it is time to work for it. I honestly think he only loves me because I give him what he wants. I have been up crying all night.
He did call from my parents home in VA.....so he drove there last night. At least I know where he is now.
I've got to work on getting him home and mending our relationship. I love him dearly and I want him to be a good responsible adult. I am so torn. I know if I give him the money he will come home, but that is sooooo not the right thing to do. I have got to hold strong on this one.

8 Month Update on October 25, 2008 3:35 am
Today is my 8 month surgery date and the results are:
TODAY SURGERY DAY
Weight - 153 240
Chest - 38 51.5
Waist - 28 43.5
Hips - 36 50
Thighs - 20.5 27
Calves - 15 18.5
Biceps - 12 15.5
I am down a total of 97 lbs. and 56. 5 inches
I am only down 4 lbs. from last month and totally ok with that. But I have lost 3 inches off of my chest, 2.5 off of my waist, 2 off of my hips, and 0.5 off of my thighs in the past month!!!! How does that happen? This is a perfect example of losing inches instead of lbs!!!
Off to work. Will post my daily intakes later.
