Doesn't mean I have to eat it. Even if it is my birthday. I'm signed up for e-mail lists. On my birthday I get free desserts from all of them. I deleted every single one. Yup, I'm proud of myself :)
Until next time,

Outline-palooza
What if I now have more priorities than before, and they're all "most important" and who gets to decide? Me, my health, sanity, and emotional well being have to come in somewhere. I've been pushing myself, and my weight loss journey, off to the side of the road in all the other things I have going on, and that needs to change, and fast.
My posting gets less and less as my focus changes. When I was posting once a day or at least 5 times a week, it was very obvious I was taking the time to devote to me and my weight loss journey. It's now obvious that school has taken over (which is a good thing) but at the same time, I'm very scared that if I don't a) catch it and b) counter-act it, I will be right back where I started: 80 pounds overweight and miserable. So here I am, catching and starting to counter act.
Here are the new struggles I'm facing, and my projected solutions to deal with one at a time:
1. I'm eating out. A lot. Most of it is fast food, because it's just that: fast. We're trying out flex scheduling (4 10s and a day off) at the office and while it's nice, on school days it's a little tight: I work 7-5:30 with a 30 minute lunch and then at 5:30, I leave directly for school. I have so far been unsuccessful in bringing my lunch or dinner, so both are fast food. While I could make good choices, let's be real honest: I haven't been. And I know for a fact I'm going to gain this week.
1a. Solution: go back to the frozen dinners. It's not glamorous and some might call it cheating or being lazy, but it's still fast, something I can do at the office, and I can still stay on track with my weight loss journey. That and it's much easier on my wallet. I think of it as an interim solution while I get used to the tighter schedule and get in a groove so I can start making my lunches and dinners.
2. Soda. Driving for long periods of time at weird times wreaked havoc on my soda fasting and fast :)
2a. They just need to stop. Period. That was easy.
3. Running. I'm not running, or working out at all. I can feel the difference in my energy levels, and after about a week of not working my shoulder, I definitely notice a difference there.
3a. Next week I will not have any excuses, I'm not working my flex schedule. So I don't have to be at work until 8:30, which means if I get up at my flex get up time (6), I have an hour to work out. I'm paying for a gym membership I don't use. Yup, it's silly, I know. So what's the solution? Well, that's easy, start using it :)
4. I'm not tracking what I eat. Enough said. No excuses, no reason not to other than just being lazy.
4a. There's an app for that. And I have the computer application I can access ANYWHERE, and there's the old fashioned way: pen and paper. I hate tracking, because I'm accountable to what I eat, but I really need to be. I definitely notice a difference in my weight if I track, even if I don't work out.
Even though school will take the cake as being "most important", I have to be #2. If I don't take care of myself, no one else is going to.
As usual: goals for this week:
1. Track every meal, every day. No excuses
2. Stop soda.
3. Run at least 2 days, and gym at least 2 days (shoulder exercises mostly).
4. Go to the grocery store tomorrow and buy my frozen lunches for 5 days this week, and 2 frozen dinners for class nights.
5. Not whine while I make these changes :)
Here's a really big positive from this week: I ate TONS of fruits and veggies. We got fresh peaches in NC, and I ate 2 or 3 or more a day all week (they were really ripe). I really enjoyed snacking on fruits and veggies, so I'd like to keep that up. I'm thinking raw green beans. YUMMY!
Another positive: I'm only half way into the summer semester, so I consider this catching this early. I'm not catching it 6 months from now. I'm discovering I've strayed from my true north, and if I keep myself healthy, chances are, I'll have more energy to be able to take on all these things. I'm loving the logic! :)
Another positive: I drove approximately 10 hours each way last weekend, and my shoulder did GREAT! And yes, my sisters are still alive, but just barely. JK LOL, love them to pieces, and I'm just as crazy with enough caffeine and too little sleep :)
Another positive: I am very able to swim the backstroke, which is very encouraging.
I'm still wide awake, so I suppose I'll unpack from our trip last weekend, and organize and clean up until my brain finally shuts down. Oh, and I need. I don't know what the end of that sentence was. I got distracted computing how much I have paid on my car, which by the way is 79.19%.
Now I'm going to go unpack. At 1:30AM. Yup, my brain has a lot to process. Good times! :)
Oh, and I think I spelled palooza right, but I'm not really sure :)
Until next time,
:)

I now understand why God provided us with skin...
I know, my titles as of late are a little off beat, I promise I'll get to my weight loss journey in this post, until then, thank you for bearing with me.
To explain my title: I suffer from eczema on my hands and the tops of my feet. I have since I was in my early teens and will probably continue to do so throughout my life. Perhaps it's my payback for never having acne (until now that is :) ). Not having real nails (I have acrylics), naturally I cannot scratch my hands (justification for the expense of having them done bi-weekly). So if my eczema starts to rear it's head, if I don't catch myself, I end up being very creative with how I scratch my hands. Most of the time it involves the sharp insides of drawers, sometimes I have to resort to scissors. Tonight I was sitting outside and the only thing was the driveway. I thought I was safe, I found something that would relieve, but not puncture (like the drawers). Nope, I found a sharp rock. It was dark and I'm convinced I no longer can feel pain on the insides of my hands, so I didn't notice until I was inside that there's now a crater in the center of my right palm and clear liquid escaping from it. That's never a good sign. Here's the diagnosed cause for my eczema: " ". Yes, that's a space between two quotes. The Doctors can't figure it out. Best guess now is certain food sensitivities, but I've noticed I suffer the most in May and June, which to me is interesting. I recently recovered from a particularly bad episode in which the tops of both hands between my knuckles was infected. Good times, but that's gross, so I'll move on. To complicate things, I have unusually sweaty hands, so trying to put a bandage on the center of my palm is like trying to make a snowball in the Caribbean: near impossible. I have my whole hand wrapped in clear tape, and it's working...for now :)
I seem to be getting better at having blog posts closer together again. 16 days between the last two. Sad, really, I need to blog more often, it's so helpful. I recently gave someone whom I love very dearly a hard time about not blogging very often. Like I'm one to talk. Hm. But I digress.
Now to the good stuff! I was out of town for the meeting the day after my last post. LONG story for another day, I was out of town for work all week. I did not make it to a meeting that week. I know I gained weight on that trip. My poor body had to deal with adjusting to eating at 7AM, 3PM, and 6PM....EST. I weighed myself when I got home. I gained 3 pounds. Sadly, that's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but I knew where I was and what I needed to do. I then weighed myself Friday early morning and I had lost 6 pounds. WOOT! Then I ran Friday morning, and was SO sore, it had been a LONG time since I had run, and my shoulder did okay (YAY), but I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself, to take it slow and warm back into running. I'm still working out my shoulder as many if not more days than I'm running. Not taking any chances, and I run outside, so I have to use my gym membership for SOMETHING :). Wow, I digress again...big time. Okay, so where was I? OH right. I lost 6 pounds. Then Saturday, I was at work at 6AM to work on some things and I had to eat, I drank a glass of water, and I was moving around, still sore from running, and my poor little legs were jelly, dead weight, and swollen a little. I gained 1 pound (from two weeks prior). Not going to lie, I was pretty satisfied with that. I know I can make it up. This week, I hit that 4th week drama (DON'T ask), and MAINTAINED (neither gained or lost). That's what I'm talking about. :)
Next week, I'm going to lose, but I have to take it one day at a time. Tomorrow morning I'm going to the gym to work my shoulder. But I have to go to bed first.
G'night all :)
Until next time,

I now understand why hotels provide lotion with their soap
I'm here! I'm alive, I promise. Can't believe it's been a month. Oy o Oy time flies!
I've never really used hotel shampoo before. I have always brought my own. I decided on this trip to only bring what I needed that the hotel couldn't provide. So I left the shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. at home. I used the hotel version and I can tell the difference, but it's not the end of the world for a week. I'm in Atlanta by the way. Coming home tomorrow.
It's been an interesting month (a MONTH?1?!?!?!). The second week of May I house sat for friends of mine, which I love doing. I came home from that last Thursday, then left for Atlanta on Sunday morning. Yup, quick turn-around. It's how I roll, yo. :)
When I was house-sitting, I got that taste of "freedom" so to speak, and I started to go crazy, food wise. I bought chocolate, oatmeal cream pies, pringles, etc. I ate about half of it before I realized I was emotional eating. I threw the rest away. Yes, threw perfectly good food away. It was a really good exercise. Here's what I gained from it: most times I catch my emotional eating after it's over, this time I caught it after I ate some of it, next time I will catch it when I bring the food home before I eat any of it, and the next time I will catch it at the store. It's a process.
This week, I have been stressed to the max. I've been having problems with my hands itching the week leading up to my trip. On Sunday morning, I woke up with hands swollen twice the size and my veins were starting to feel bruised. The same thing happened about a year ago, but my hands were much worse torn up, and the bruised veins sensation was all the way up my arms. When I called my doctor, he told me the reason my veins felt bruised was because the infection was spreading in my blood stream and if it reached my heart, I was in BIG trouble. He told me it was a BIG deal, and to go to the Minute clinic immediately. So when I woke up on Sunday morning with an infected spot on my hands, swelling, and bruised veins, I didn't even think about it, I went to minute clinic. I was scheduled to leave to Atlanta at 11. Minute clinic opened at 10, I was there at 20 till, to make sure no one would be in front of me. I'll vouch for CVS and the minute clinic any day of the week. For the exam and Rx, I was in and out in 30 minutes. I also learned that when I had the big breakout before, the date was 5/15/10. The date I was in there this year was 5/20/11. Almost a year to the day. Interesting. I've been taking my Rx and using the cream, but my hands look like someone ran a cheese grater over the tops of my hands. It hasn't progressed to the inside of my hands, but it's still frustrating.
I have to admit I have totally, 100% contributed to this dilemma this week. I've really not been eating well at all, and I've been so stressed. Which leads into what I've been eating this week. I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning, but I know I've eaten out every meal, and I've been so tired and hungry by the time I get to dinner, I don't even think. Just don't think. I know better too. I've probably gained 4-5 pounds this week. I won't be back in time for my weigh in on Saturday, which is almost a good thing, because I need next week to get back on track. Below is my plan:
-I've eaten out (or will eat out) 21 out of the 21 meals this week. I'm burned out. After I return home on Saturday, I will not eat out (AT ALL) for one week.
-I need to work out, my poor heart is starting to forget what a cardio workout is. And I have a friendly sprint race to train for :) so I plan on working out twice this week. I'll bump it up to three times the following week, and four times the week after that.
-I'm not going to beat myself up this week. I'm going to weigh myself when I get home, but after that, I'm not going to beat myself up about it. It happened, and is in the past. Nothing I can do about it now except learn from it and do better next time.
-I'm going to remove sodas from my diet. Again. I've been mainlining caffeine this week, and I've had enough. 5 hour energy will help me step down off caffeine all together eventually, but starting....well now really, the sodas stop. 3 out of the 5 pounds this week is probably water I've retained due to the sodium!
I think I've pretty much recapped the last few weeks. I'm going to bed, as I'm in EST, and it's 10:30 right now. I have to be up at 6AM. That's EST too. Which is 5AM CST. Yes, it's possible for me to be up that early :)
Until next time,

On the road again.....
First off, let me say this. I feel great. Other than still being really run down from being sick. I feel confident, together, and I'm going in the right direction.
I lost 3 pounds this week!!! I'm back up to 30.4 total pounds lost! I think those three pounds was in mucus, but I digress. As I look back on this week, I realize that I made really good choices. I've really stopped the no fast food thing. I am simply making better choices at fast food places. I'm not going to lie: fast food is just that. Fast. And cheap. And my wallet needs a break sometimes too. So at KFC, I got two pieces of grilled chicken with green beans as a side. WOOT! At Sonic, I got a grilled chicken wrap. DOUBLE WOOT. I try to stay away from the Combos and drink water or tea, I'm coming back off of soda, and I feel great!
As far as being sick, I'm over most of the coughing, sneezing, nose running part of it. Now's the time where my body is recharging. So I'm not doing much. Resting and relaxing mostly. I don't have a ton of energy, but I am still nourishing myself, but am watching it since I'm not moving around at all.
I had no inspiration for a title, but I promise the next title will be clever :)
Until next time,
:)

Wake up call
Just found this in the drafts from April 29th....figured I'd post it even though it's old...
I was just looking at pictures of me over the last few years and I have come to a realization. I was really overweight. Like wow. How did I not see it??? Ugh. I guess everything happens for a reason.
Well, I'm on the right path now. Thank goodness.
I just did the math. I have been on Weight Watchers for 77 Weeks. That's kind of amazing.
Good news is after tons more rest, and time spent in the fresh air, I feel much better. Only a few remnants of sickness left and I'm a little tired, but other than that, I'm much better! I look forward to getting to relax the next few days before starting back into the craziness.
Until next time,
:)

Welcome back :)
Gosh, I cannot believe it's been over a month since my last post. Goodness, so much to tell, so...well the space is unlimited, but I'll try to be kind to your eyes. :)
I have continued to go back and forth back and forth with the same 5 pounds. It's still frustrating, so nothing new there. I think I finally gave myself a kick in the seat of the pants, and I've been doing really well the last two weeks. I lost 3 pounds last week. This week is going to be a little funny. I've been sick since Wednesday and so I haven't eaten a whole lot of anything. That can go two ways: I will either lose weight because I haven't eaten, or I'll gain it because my body won't let go of what I have eaten. About 18 hours and we'll know for sure.
Being sick really stinks. When I get sick, my body takes advantage of the down time and completely shuts down to recharge. I did all of nothing today. Then I got a shower and walked up the stairs and was exhausted. I'm currently sitting out on the back porch because I was in such dire need of fresh air, or I would be in bed, sleeping. My diet has consisted of lean pockets and ice cream, because that's what I have downstairs, and it's easy.
I was thinking that there was something else about which I wanted to blog, but I just don't remember. I'll know where to find my blog if I do.
Until next time,
