Yesterday was another not so good day.

Up early, off to Sam's & Walmart (UGH!!) had starbucks for breakfast (6). DD had fencing. I was planning to stay home & meet them for a BBQ at one of the fencer's homes after. Nope, wanted me to go. They left, then I started laundry, ran to subway as DD hadn't eaten I had a wrap(4). Got to fencing, no room to sit, stand, see, etc. Took Max in his bag as he wasn't content in the bathroom and I didn't want to cage him for what we thought would be 8+ hours.

She wasn't in the first 'heat', so almost an hour & half later, she says I should go, do stuff at home til DS19 gets off at 7 p.m, then meet them. About that time, she has her first bout. 1/2 way thru, DS19 calls & needs me to come to his work - almost an hour from where fencing is - and get him or bring him lunch he forgot his wallet. Off I go. Take him McD and head home. I'm home long enough to throw clothes in the dryer, potty the dogs, empty dishes and DS19 calls again. They're not busy and looking for volunteers to go home. Since his eyes really hurt staring at the computer screen he volunteered. Off I go to get him. Got home and had enough time again to potty dogs, start a load of laundry and DD calls. Almost time to head to the BBQ, where am I and what are we bringing????

Off again to Costco - took FOREVER - bought Tiramisu that DD had wanted. Headed to BBQ. I ate about 2 oz grilled chicken, some pasta salad - had a tiny bit of O&V over it, a bit of lettuce, 2 cheetos and, Tiramisu. I haven't calculated the points, but I"m sure I was over again yesterday. GRRRRR!!!!!

I didn't have nearly enough liquid, so I'm feeling terribly huge today!! Finally got home after 9 p.m. Haven't colored eggs, didn't get ebay done and I'm tired!!

Off to start lunch!

 

[goldcupmom]

Lunch was 1 deviled egg w/ mustard/relish (1) 2 rolls(6), 2 finger potatoes(1), ham(2) green beans(1), so I have 9 left. DS16 wants to go walk the bosque, so I'm hoping we can do that later. I'm off to start laundry.

Hope everyone is having a good Easter Weekend!

MY GOSH WOMAN!!!!! TAKE A BREATH!!!
I don't know how you do it....I go in spurts where I'm super busy for a couple of days, but then nothing for a couple of days.....You are super busy everyday!!!! (i need a nap after reading your journals!)
It doesn't look like you did that bad on your intake, you might not be over....hang in there!!!!

Looks like you did pretty good on Sunday....keep up the good work!!!!
(and slow down a little bit....you killing me!!!)

HMMMMM.... my post to New Year New You showed up hours later and I SWEAR I posted more here late last night. Oh well, there just might end up being a duplicate......

Thanks for stopping by, Marie! Yep, busy is my middle name! My oldest brother is now in his mid 60's and makes my schedule look very calm and easy going. I think it's genetic!

Anyway..... Dinner was a piece of Lemon cake - I haven't figured points on it, but it was a nice treat. Then DS16 and I went for a 50 min walk down in the Bosque. No one could agree, so we just left. Got home, I had another bite of cake and decaf and talked the others into playing Scattergories.

DD has no school today so we are going to the Zoo, again. That means no gym for me today, but I'll get in lots of walking. Haven't finished laundry and I need to return a top to TJMaxx since I finally found the receipt. I'll pick DS19 up at work at 4, drop him home and take DD to DH for fencing. Then I'll get some much needed Ebay done. I still have 4 - 5 HUGE containers full of Summer stuff and since I"ll be in FL for most of July it has to be listed before 6/17 or not at all.

The first priority today is to take both boys Taxes to the PO and mail them. DS16 owes over $600 total as they didn't take out until he reached the max a 15 yo can earn w/o paying. DS19 made under $4500 last year and gets back everything plus gets back extra in NM for being so low income and not a dependent for tax purposes. Too bad they can't just exchange the $$ and be done - it's almost an even exchange!

Off to do my 7 min Abs. I didn't get them done over the weekend....

Happy Monday, all!!

 

[brandip22]

Whew! You are a busy woman! Hope you have a wonderful day!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Julie!

How are you doing today? I hope that you are doing well. How is your eBaying going? My eBaying has been non-existant. I have some stuff I want to list, but I have been good at procrastinating. Maybe sometime this week, I can get to it.

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

 

[eeyore25]

Where has this week gone????

Monday DD and I went to the zoo. Walked for 3 hours - counted 1.

Breakfast was Starbucks(6) lunch we took subway with us(4). She had dippin' dots, I resisted. Later had WW bar(2), ham sandwich (8) baked lays(4). Right on points. Woke up Tues Morning and had gained EIGHT pounds over night! I went from 181.2 on Monday to 189.2 on Tuesday. My body does this occasionally, but it doesn't make it any easier. It's not TOM, but Midlife Hell!

In Tuesday's Mail were 3 notices from DMV that DS19's license was suspended for failure to appear in court over a ticket (actually 3 of them). Spent all day Wednesday trying to get them straightened out, standing in line waiting to get his DL reinstated, his eye Dr appt since he had no contacts left after his eye infection.

Tuesday it took forever to get DS16's last 2 classes this year set up and working on the computer. Had to take DD to Fencing that usually lasts 2 hours and lasted almost 4.

I've stayed OP, but I don't really know how. Weight is SLOWLY coming back off, today I was 185.9.

Monday exercise was walking & the ab dvd, Tuesday WATP 5, Wednesday WATP 5. I haven't been to the gym in a week and I really need to go!

I'm way behind in Ebay and have to go mail packages today and get some checks to the bank to begin clearing.

This week has been WAY too hectic. I still don't have my Bug back. They THINK the last part will come in today. I can only hope. I'm tired of the diesel Jetta they loaned me.

Breakfast is egg beaters(2), flat out(1), ff chz (1).

 

[goldcupmom]

Still didn't make the gym- GRRR!!!!! Had to do more DS19 crisis control. Hopefully all done for a while again.

Was starving while out and had no cash, but found a box of 2pt bars in my car - ended up eating FOUR - 8 pts. Then had baked lays (2). So I have 10 left for dinner - probably salad.

Still don't have the bug back - by the time I get it, it'll probably be getting too warm to have the top down. GRRRR again!!!

Did WATP 5 mile 66 min and the Ab Ripper 200 (7) I did all 200 this time.

I've had 60 oz water so far.

This weight thing is REALLY bugging me! But I can't give up!

 

[kmp1191]

Don't you dare give up!!! You have come too far and have done too good to give up!!! The weight will come back off...I promise!! You are doing so good on your food and exercise...I bet you'll be back to 181, or less, by the weekend!

Hang in there....we're in this together!

[goldcupmom]

Dinner salad w/ ham(1), ff chz(1), ff dressing(1), lt em w/ garlic(2)
then sixlets candy(1) So I have 3 pts left and there's strawberries calling my name for later.

More water.....

Off to Ebay..... Hopefully!

 

[goldcupmom]

Had 24 oz cf diet coke instead of water. No berries, tho. Just didn't need them.

Tomorrow will be busy - and even worse if the unplanned comes up.

since I didn't make the post office today, that is a priority. Plus the Credit Union- I really need to open a bank account up here as there is only 1 CU and it is at DH work 11 miles away. And when I give him stuff to cash, it takes him a week or more to walk over and do it (he sits like maybe 100' from the door to the CU)

Oh well, 1 more to list and off to sleep....

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Julie,

Don't you give up!!! You have come so far and are doing so great!!!! I hope for you that things start to calm down for you...You need that.

Way to go on sticking to the salad....you are doing great.

Keep it up and have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

 

[goldcupmom]

Today down a bit more, 184.6, but still up over 3 of the 8 pounds that magically appeared overnight. I just don't get it, but I've done this all my life. It used to be only near TOM that I could gain up to 10 pounds overnight. Poor DD! She's becoming the same way!!

Breakfast will be Kashi & yogurt. Did Ab Ripper this morning (7 min), I'm HOPING to make it to the gym, but I won't bet on it as something seems to always come up. If I don't I'll at least fit in my WATP 5 mile.

Today is mail packages, credit union, grocery, take forms to the water co. so I can get the rebate for my new w/d, then hopefully ebay tonight. I'm REALLY tired this morning, so I hope I get a burst of energy.

So far the weekend looks FAIRLY calm. DD goes to Denver for choir next weekend and lost her navy polo choir shirt so we have to go find her a generic one. I also need to finish the guy Ebay pics and work on the house.

75 days until we leave for FL.

 

[goldcupmom]

Yep, I was right. I had just pulled in to City Hall to go to the water dept to get my rebate for my w/d and DS19 called. He needed to come home from work. His supervisor saw his eyes from a distance. He finished the last scheduled drops at noon yesterday and at 10 this morning, his eyes were almost as bad as they had been - inflamed, Blood red, and watery. So, I spent from 10:30 til 4 waiting for his Dr. to call. I made it to the PO, CU and grocery, but no exercise except about a 15 min walk and my ab tape. UGH!!

Breakfast was the Kashi/yogurt(4), lunch about 2 was a banana w/ pb(4), a chocolate(2) and dinner was a veggie burger(1), some of the finger potatoes(3) and green bean casserole(2). Now I'm having sf ff choc ice cream w/ sf ff whipcream and fresh strawberries. Amazing for 3 pts.

I'm a bit shy on water, but I'll still drink more while I'm doing Ebay and waiting for DS16 to get home.

I'm going to have to be REALLY careful.....at Albertson's I bought 14 packages of cookie dough. It's choc chip w/ the choc bunnies on it. Was marked to 99c and each had a 55c coupon. My guys will LOVE it! I just have to stay away and focus!!

Off to read some journals and Ebay.....

Have a great weekend, all!!

 

[goldcupmom]

Here I sit alone(well, not really, since I have all of you) at 11:48 p.m, pondering many things. I'm waiting for DS16 who left for work at 10:30 this morning, then went to the Homeschool HS graduation & out to dinner.

May 2007 is my 25 anniversary - WOW, that's a long time! I'd love to take a cruise, but DH is totally anti doing ANYTHING at all. He says things like bdays, annivers, valentines, etc are just "Hallmark Holidays" and don't need to be celebrated. He's basically Christmas only, MAYBE. Didn't used to be that way. SIGH......... Maybe I'll go alone! (or I could take Bob or Sven - or maybe both )

DD wants to go to fencing camp PLUS the career camp at Sea World. Does she think I'm made of money??? The cheapest I can find is $525, but I have to drive her to Co. Springs & Back + a hotel night. With gas it would end up being an easy 1k. I told her 1 or the other. Boy, am I mean, or what??!!

DS16 just walked in so I finally get to go to bed. Must get DS19 up at 5:30 for work. Lucky me!

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

Hi Julie,

Your food sounds good, and just keep on with the exercise. You're doing this!!

I totally understand these kids!! My DS 16 was pretty good about getting himself up until his sister (21) got into a tiff with him and broke his alarm clock Hasn't gotten a new one yet so I have to wake him everyday.

We're looking at camps for DD's, they are pricey, and I set a limit - We AREN'T made of money, that's life!

Hoep you can convince DH to do something for the big anniversary. It IS a big deal, we had our 25th last year, luckily DH is somewhat of a disney fan too, and we had days left on passes from a previous WDW trip, so we spent several days there with NO KIDS. Good luck.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Julie, you are doing so well. You have such a busy life and yet you find time to make so many healthy choices! I really feel for you gaining those mystery pounds. If I had a dime for every time I have done that I'd be rich. It just totally stinks! But it sounds like its really coming off. Just once in my life, I'd like to get on the scale and have lost 5-10 mystery pounds overnight! Keep working on your dh to go on a 25th anniversary trip. Men, so aggravating!! Have a great weekend and hang in there girl, you can do it!
