Jamie's Journal (comments welcome please!)

Tracy,

We posted yesterday at the same time....sorry I missed your post before I posted mine!

Hello everyone!!! Thanks for the laugh gals....I needed it today. Yesterday was the day from he** here at work. Everything started out good, but then it went down hill about 1:30. Food wise I did okay, but just the bs that is going on here at work. I actually went to HR yesterday and told them that I like, okay loved, my job and I didn't want to leave, or change departments, but I could no longer report to the idiot that I report to. Of course I used her name, but really wanted to say just what I did. To make a long story short, I have never had any confiedence in her and I have gone to her several times about the other supervisor and she continues to make excuses for her. I have gone to my managers boss, and then after I do that, she goes and talks to my boss. Still with me??!!! Then my boss pulls me and tells me " I really wish your would go to XX" I had enough of it yesterday because my boss was making excuses again for the other supervisor as to why she can't get her work done, so I went to HR. I will do anything to not report to her any longer. So we will see what happens today. There is another position open within the company, I don't know if I am qualified for it or not, but I am thinking of going for it. I don't really want to leave this department but if leaving is the only way I can get rid of this worthless manager, I will.

Okay sorry for that!!! Just needed to get it off my chest. As I said yesterday food wise was pretty good.....water could have been better, but it was okay.
I didn't get on the elliptical or do Bob (the DVD!!!) but I did get my 40 minute walk in. I am hoping that I can get to the ellipitcal today. I don't have to work tomorrow, it's a holiday so I can stay up a little later. Tonight is my TV night, Surviror and then Grey's Anatomy. So I won't be able to work out until 9pm unless I can get out of here early today. Which is my goal, but that was my goal yesterday too and that didn't happen!!!

Wednesday:
B @ 5:15 1/2 cup cheerios, 1/2 cup milk
S @ 8:30 ff string cheese, ff turkey and mustard
L @ 11:30 the department went to Qdoba, so I went too. Had chicken nachos, only ate about 1/2
S skipped, still full from lunch
D @ 7:00 grilled cheese sandwich
Water was only 84 oz. I think that is why I am feeling a little weird....I didn't have enough water yesterday
Exercise was 40 minutes walking.

Well I am off to other journals...thanks for stopping by!!!!

Have a great day

Jamie.... I hope the situation at work gets resolved for you soon. Hopefully, HR can step in and do something about these supervisors. In the meantime, keep on keeping on and know that your WISH sisters are here for you.

Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Easter!

 

[traceycooper]

Julie sorry work is not improving.
Sending some to help resolve things for you!

Food looks good & well done for getting the walk in

 

[DisDon]

Hey Jamie, Happy Easter! sorry I haven't posted here in so long, thanks for thinkin' of me! Wow, crazy story about your supervisor, that's kinda the way I and my immediate supervisor feel about his boss! She drives us crazy, and does nothing to help!

We're headed up to South Dakota in July for biker-SIL's wedding on 7/7/07. I miss riding, gotta get back on someday! We're thinking of heading down to Thornton to the other SIL's to hang out for a few days after that. Haven't spent much time in the area since we moved back to Utah, been about 10 years now. Looking forward to it!

Sorry to read about your back and leg pain, tough to deal with.

Your food journalling is awesome, good example for me. I need to do that better, don't want to back slide here.

Keep on truckin'

 

[CACruisin']

Jamie, sorry the people at work is so difficult. Hopefully that can get worked out. It is good you have today off. Sounds like you can really use it.

You are doing awesome with your food journal, water and exercise! Keep it up and have a wonderful Easter!

 

[tbstein]

Jamie--great that you have stuck with your work ethics. I sometimes feel that work ethics just aren't as they used to be.

Great job sticking to you food plan while under stress. Way cool!

Have a great Easter and wishing you well with work!

Wendy

 

[Amy&Dan]

Jamie, I think its great you went to HR. Your supervisor may realize she is risking losing a great employee and beef up her job skills or you will have the opportunity to apple for a new position. Either way, you are taking the bull by the horns and taking charge of your own life! Excellent job, far better than eating your way through the stress. Glad you liked my Moron #1 joke, ya gotta ask her what she'd like done for that retirement party you want to give her! The best thing about morons is they are too stupid to realize what is really going on in life which can make dealing with them much more fun and effective! Hang in there with work, it will get better! You are doing great with food and exericse keep it up!

P.S. Where is our warm weather? 30 Degrees today is just not going to cut it!

Hello,

Today is a crazy busy day for me....I don't have much time. I probably won't get to journals until tomorrow, please know that I am thinking of all of you!!!
The weekend was good, busy with family and Easter..Eating was good...didn't overdo it or anything. Thursday well that was another story. I decided to eat my way through a bad day. I had three cookies, several handfuls of Reese's peices. I know there was more but I can't remember. Oh well though. I did good on Friday. I was crazy busy then too!!! I was off work, but had a million things to do.

Well I am off, have a great day. Thanks for stopping by

 

[eeyore25]

Hello Everyone!!!

Whew I am glad that yesterday is over. It was crazy busy for me. Thanks everyone for stopping by last week and over the weekend to offer your kind words and wisdom about my situation at work!!

So like I said yesterday, Thursday started out to be a good day, but ended very bad. I had several cookies and then several handfuls of Reese Peices. Not good. I was eating the stress of the day away. I don't really know why I turned to the sweets, I had an apple and strawberries in my lunch that I needed to eat. But they just didn't sound as good as the cookies! Bad I know. What's done is done and I can't change it. So I just have to move on.

Friday was a good day, I was busy even though I didn't have to work. I didn't even make it to the computer room to even look at the computer. I did grocery shopping in the morning, good time to go and then I had to go to the puppy store and Circuit City. A few weeks ago the Xbox took a dive and we had to send it in for a replacement. The way Circuit City does it, you send them the unit and then they send you a gift card for the price you bought the unit for. I got the gift card on Thursday so headed there on Friday. I knew I was going to have issues, even though I called the night I submitted my claim and talked to a manager. When we bought the Xbox they were doing a promo in which you buy the unit, they give you a free $30.00 gift card and then a free wireless controller rechargable battery thingy. Well they way they have to account for all the free stuff is to take it off the price of the unit. So the unit was origainlly $ 399.99 but I paid $340.00 or something similar. The manager told me when I called that they would take care of the difference. Well they did after about an hour of going back and forth with the Store Manager. Tha manager that I talked to was not there that day. But in the end it all worked out and was able to get the new Xbox at no charge to me. So I got home at noon, had time to sit and watch my trash tv, soaps!!! Then I got up and cleaned up a bit. By the time I was done DH was home and it was time to cook dinner!!!

Weekend was good, we didn't do a darn thing. We were going to go over to the inlaws on Saturday but we didn't. I don't really know what is going on. DH does not really want to see his parents. I don't know if anything is going on....he just says that she is annoying. I don't know anymore!!! So we stayed home. It was cold and icky this weekend too. We had snow on Sunday, after they , the weather people, said that it was suppose to be sunny and 45 the night before. I am so over this snow! We are suppose to get more too, this Friday. They are saying 3-6 inches! I am ready for the warm weather.....stop the snow!

Yesterday was a good day too. I had something a little different for lunch. Probably not really healthy, but it was really good and I am glad that I tried it. I was able to work out last night and I got in all my water!! Work sucked, I was busy but I decided that I was not going to eat my way through the day.

Monday:
B @ 5:15 1/2 cup cereal with 1/2 cup milk
S @ 8:30 2 small bananas
L @ 12:00 1/2 cup turkey chili with ff cheese and fritos....frito pie!!! YUM
S @ 3:00 1 apple
D @ 6:00 1 1/2 hot dogs
Water was good, 100 oz and I did 30 minutes on the ellipitcal. I was going to do weights last night too, but I ran out of time. I will do it today though!

The wind was blowing so bad last night that it woke everyone in the house up at 2:30am. I say that like there are 50 people living here!!! It woke DH, me and the puppies up and that is unusal for the puppies to wake up. Then after about an hour is just stopped. It was kind of scary, I don't ever remember the wind being like that.

Well I am off to other journals....thanks for reading!!

Have a great day

Hi Jamie,

Sounds like you had a good weekend. I hear ya about the snow! It's spring and we should have sunny weather and warm temps. Our meteorologists are saying it could be a couple of weeks before we have spring-like temps. Where is that groundhog? I'd like to give him a piece of my mind!

Sending you a PM.....

Have a great day!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Jamie
Sorry your weather is not good, we have another warm weekend forcast, i'll try & send some your way
I think there are a few of us who have had bad food days over the holls, i seem to be having a bad food week!!!!
I'm hoping when i get back to work i will get back into some sort of routine again with my food!!
Have a great week

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Jamie! Your food sounds great lately! How do you stay so in control with all the work stress? I am sorry you are going through all of that.
Thank you for visiting my journal. I'm sorry I haven't been around much but I wanted you to know I am thinking of you, WISH buddy! I hope things get better for you at work. Sending you and :

 

[tbstein]

Hello Jamie.

DS's arm is healing. You are right, it is ok to fall off the wagon, as long as we know we have to jump back on. Did great today with food. With work and bible study today the exercise is going to have to be neglected!

Have a great week Jamie!

Hello Wish Friends. This week has been crazy. Thanks everyone for stopping by!!!!

Well as I said this week has been crazy, not only with work but my personal life as well. I was told this week that we will not be going to WDW again this year. So I had to stop all the planning that everything that I had started. I don't really know why, I just know that we are not going. I am a little torn up over that. Not really sure why, maybe it's because I absolutely love WDW and it's nice to get away. Things may change, there are 4.5 month left before we were suppose to leave. Who knows!

Work has been crazy. Even though I get my stuff done for month end close, no one else can get there stuff done. So I am done, but I have to wait on a million other people before I can start my true monthend reports and reconciliations!

But the good news, I have not eaten away the stress!!!! I feel that I have done very well. Since I have missed a few days, I won't post all my food, but I will say I resisted the offer to go out to dinner, a ton of easter candy and a several candy bars!!! Plus someone brought in cookies yesterday and I resisted those!! I have been tempted, but stayed away. Instead I have been working out to make the stress go away! It's great! I am sore, but it's still great!!!

We had a snow storm that was suppose to hit us today with 6-12 inches of snow but it went farther south into New Mexico and Texas. Julie, I hope you don't get what we were suppose to have Amy, I heard that it could be worse in the south part of town, I hope you are lucky too and don't have too much snow to deal with!

Well I am off to other journals, thanks everyone

Have a great day

Jamie, I am so proud of you for this! I know firsthand how easy it can be to eat away the stress. Good for you for saying no to the candy and cookies and staying on program. That is a VICTORY, my friend.

I'm sending lots of prayers and your way today. If you need to talk, please let me know.

Have a good weekend!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Jamie very good job not eating away the stress that is awesome. I am so sorry your WDW trip looks like a no go. Maybe it will work out anyway? I hope so! If not, it will always be there for another trip. I see you are sick of the wind, the cold and the snow! We dodged the bullet today, hope next week's predicted storm also heads someplace else! Keep up your good work, you are doing great!

 

[tbstein]

Hello Wish Friends. This week has been crazy. Thanks everyone for stopping by!!!!

Instead I have been working out to make the stress go away! It's great! I am sore, but it's still great!!!

Great job!!! You are the inspiration of the week!

I can understand needing a WDW fix. We are going almost 3 years between our last trip and our next. I don't know how I will make it!

The best to you!

Wendy

 

[CACruisin']

Great job not stress eating, especially when you had all those goodies to chose from too! That is some wonderful willpower WISH sis!

I'm sorry about your WDW trip. I know you have gone with your inlaw's in the past. You said DH doesn't want to visit them right now. Maybe just you and DH could plan a WDW trip without the inlaws?

Hang in there, Jamie! Great job resisting and getting in some exercise too. The weekend is finally here - yea!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Jamie
You didnt get the sun i sent you then??!!
Sorry the WDW trip is off, lets hope things change
Well done for not stress eating & working out instead
Hope you had a great weekend.

 

[eeyore25]

Hello everyone...thanks for sticking around even though I have not been here much this last week. Work was crazy, but I think it has finally calmed down. Monthend/quarterend is pretty much over so that is good.

This weekend was tough, DH and I are not really getting along. He is angry at me for something, I don't really know what. I think it has to do with the inlaws and WDW. He told me to do something so I did and then his parents made their own reservations and I think that is what made him angry. That is why we are not going now. I am hoping that he will change his mind, but I am not holding out any hope. The good news though, is that even with the tough weekend, I so wanted to eat it away, but I worked out instead! Man was I sore. I decided not to work out yesterday though.

Saturday I could barely move when I got up, but after feeding the babies, I felt bette so I decided to work out. Bad move...that made it worse. Each time I got up Saturday I felt the pain!!! Never do that again. My whole body hurt. But I would have rather worked out than eat. And trust me, I could have eaten!!! Water was okay, it could have been better.

Sunday we didn't do anything, I finished up laundry and just relaxed around the house. I was sore yesterday but not as bad, but decided not to push it so no work out for me! I will pick it up again today after I get my nails done. I should be able to get in about an hour....at least that is what I am hoping for

The weather was really nice here this weekend, thanks Tracey for sending the sun. I think it might have gotten sidetracked, but it finally made it!!! We went to a local motorcycle shop for an open house, didn't really know what was going on until we got there. We went looking for gear and then thought we saw a guy that is a professional stunter there. We didn't think much of it, but when we got home, DH pulled it up and the computer and such as snot it was this guy. So we had to go back down to the shop (35 miles one way, for any of you familiar with the area we were are Faye Myers) This stunter was going to be putting on a stunt show. I am glad that we went back down there, I have never seen anything like that before in real life, it was a lot of fun!!! Got an autographed poster from the guy. If any of you watch Superbikes on the speed channel, Jason Britton is the stunter...this is the guy that was here. After the show we headed home. We were of course on the bikes, which was nice!! Sunday was beautiful, but we could have done without the wind. It was crazy windy here. Took the dogs for a walk and I thought they might blow away!!!! Funny, is that we were under a Winter Storm Warning on Friday.....got no snow, which was great and then we get the beautiful weather!! I'll take it!!!

Could I ask for prayers for a dear friend of mine? She is going through a very tough time right now, she is pregnant, (the last 3 have resulted in miscarriages) and having difficulties, was put on bedrest and is less than 12 weeks. On top of that, her DSIL was killed over Eater weekend, they aren't sure if it was sucide or murder by her boyfriend. She had a one year old daughter that now has no mommy. Any spare prayers that you have, they would be appreciated. Thanks




Thanks for reading...have a great day
