.....I'm sick. Not sure what it is...horrid horrid cold, or a bout of Strep...either way some critter has invaded my body without asking and is LIVING in my throat.
Eviction notice was given yesterday.
Be Back Soon!
{First of all, THANK YOU to all of you who have commented on my last few posts. It excites me to check my blog and see comments from SO many who wish me well and support me :) I will address the Weight Watchers Update soon...but for now I must say this....}
Today was my first day to have both kiddos at the house. When I accepted the Nanny-ing job, the 2.5 year old was in school until 2:45 each day, and it was only the baby. Well now the 2.5 year old critter kid is out of school for the summer, hence I have both children all day.
I ran to got in my car promptly at 4:17 and shuffled through all of the crap woman necessities of my purse and found my phone among some unwrapped gum, year old receipts, nasty old cough drop, a sweetart or two, lipstick...etc. I frantically hit "favorites" on my phone can called the husband. Convo went like this:
Husband: Hey babe how are you
Me: I'm fine. Hey..do we have any Vodka in the freezer?
Husband: Don't we have that Tito's in there and that small thing of Absolute?
Me: I'm not sure, can you check?
Husband: {walking over to freezer} Oh yeah babe, there is plenty in here.
Me: Both of the bottles???
Husband: Yes, both are freezing in the freezer. {walking back to couch}
Me: Hey babe, do we have Sweet & Sour mix left?
Husband: What in the world do you have planned?
Me: JUST DO WE HAVE IT????
Husband: {walking very hard on his feet to the cabinet} Yes, we have a little but you might need more.
Me: Great. I'll be making myself a Vodka Sour or 12 when I get home. See ya soon, Love you
Husband: Love you too.
Went to Kroger and got the fixings for nachos this evening...as well as Sweet & Sour Mix AND Appletini Mix- HA!!!
So now, I sit enjoying my FIRST (of many) Appletini's for the evening.
It's been a rough day =)
Yall..I need some serious serious ideas. This constant weight gain I am having is getting out.of.control. The only thing I can do without any work or effort is gaining weight. I swear if I think about something sweet, or candy or pasta or something greasy my stomach grows. And wait a second. Be really really quiet. Do you hear that??? Do you???? Don't worry, the sound you heard was my thighs growing and rubbing together SIMPLY by writing a post regarding food. *sigh*
Anyway- here is the deal. Yall, my husband has even bribed me with a TRIP once I get to MYYYY (not his) but MY goal weight. (I want to make that clear). Once the profession situation is back on its feed in regards to my husbands job- he has said he will make a way to take us on a getaway to celebrate my weight loss. He told me it could be anywhere. Granted I will say I'm very grounded and realistic so I won't take advantage of his diction of "anywhere"- BUT I am thinking it might be a beach NOT in the US or Mexico :)
SO WHAT IN THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME??????????? Why doesn't anything motivate me to lose weight? I hate working out. I really do. No idea why, I just can't stand it. But I know it goes hand in hand with weight loss, right???
I have heard success after success after success story about Weight Watchers, but I have also heard that going to the meetings for meal ideas and accountability is a very important part of that program, and right now- there just isn't an extra $30 a month we can spend for me to go on those meetings. Is it possible for me to still do WW and be successful even if I can't go to the meetings? Is there anyone willing to tutor me and hold my hand a bit to help me get started??
Part of my big problem also, is that I want to see immediate results. Once I see that I have lost a pound or two, I am 110% more motivated to keep going. But I never see that 1 or 2 lbs come off. It is SO FRUSTRATING.
None of my "old" clothes fit anymore and I was FORCED to go out and buy new clothes in sizes that I have NEVER purchased in my life before. Seriously....it broke my heart.
So much of my weight gain contributes to my saddened state as well. I'm not happy with the way I look and I want to snap my fingers and wiggle my nose and it be gone change it.
Can you guys please please help a sister out? What worked for you? How do I do this?? Yall we eat grilled chicken or pork all the time, fresh vegetable and maybe brown rice. I only keep fruit in the house now for sweets...nothing else. We don't eat many chips...but I do love diet coke.
I'm rambling here, but please- do you have ideas??? (and who ever has an idea that works, might just get to be packed in my suitcase for the celebratory trip!)
Thanks in Advance :)
