D- nutrisystem mac n cheese and turkey hotdog
S- fudgsicle

cals 890 so far....I'll add on if I eat something else, I think I probably will

 

[lindalinda]

Okay, I decided to cook some chicken breasts and not eat them. Yeah right. So add 300 cals to mine for 1190. Was yummy tho, and really not too unhealthy.

 

[lindalinda]

I was a bad bad bad girl today. I cooked those chicken breast last night and they were so good I ate one for lunch. then I ate another one. And I had some baked doritos. Then some oatmeal cookies. At least I didnt eat much at work. Some pudding and a slimfast (thats hilarious isnt it?) Anyway, it was close to 2000 calories. I did do the treadmill this morning tho. Tomorrows another day. I hope I didnt gain like 5 lbs in one day that would seriously suck.

 

[kmp1191]

Heck girl...your body is probably jumping for joy that it got more than 1000 calories!!
Plus the slimfast and the treadmil has to cancel out the doritos and the oatmeal cookies...right?? Kinda like a Diet Coke & a Snickers cancels each other out!!

[lindalinda]

LOL, I think my body seriously protested that it got too much yesterday. That chicken was so good tho, and I dont cook that much. I did better today. Not quite as good as I thought because I forgot about the girl scout cookies, but ok.

Food

B- lean cuisine pocket
S- girl scout brownie bites
S-mixed veggies
L- salad w/egg

I have been behind a little on logging my stuff, but will catch up tomorrow.

[lindalinda]

I forgot to say , someone brought an old treadmill in to work so I am gonna try it this weekend if I get some free time. It will be great if I can get a mile or so in while at work!

I'm sure you've been out there walking up a storm on your treadmill and eating healthy.... but you haven't been by to let us know about it. WELL... come back and give us something to strive for already!

See ya soon!

 

[kmp1191]

Linda?
Are you ok?
We miss you.
Please check in.....it's been too long.....you're making me worry.

marie

 

[lindalinda]

Sorry, no need to worry. I have had some teenager drama going on. I'll explain it later, its late and I have a 5am tomorrow.

I also hurt my knee. No apparent reason, just seems to have stopped working Getting old sux! Anyway it is finally starting to feel a little bit better, but I have to be careful, I cant be a gimp while I'm at Universal with 3 teenagers!

I will try to update tomorrow and catch up, hope everyones doing well!

 

[lindalinda]

OK, I'm gonna update here a bit. My son, who is 15, has always had girlfriends. Seriously, since he was like 8. He has had them come and go, broken up, been dumped, never any really bad stuff. This years GF is driving me nuts. Me, not him! I truly dont like teen girls today. They are manipulitave and mean. Can you say power trip? Its like they KNOW they can mess up the boys minds, so they do it for kicks. I cant respect that. And I dont believe that ALL girls are like that either. I know I wasnt, so I'm not buying that line. Anyway, this years girl broke up with him one week after he bought her a beautiful pendant for her birthday (one day before HIS birthday), they got back together later. He planned out a wonderful dinner he was cooking for her for valentines day, ordered special flowers and candy, she dumped him AGAIN a couple of days before. So they ARE NOT going out. ARE NOT. So he goes on a skiing trip (school team, shes not there). While on the trip, he decides he likes this other little girl (shes adorable) and he kisses her. Not a big deal, just a kiss. Afterwards he feels guilty and they decide they just want to be friends. they text message each other saying this. Other girl , who he is NOT GOING WITH, reads his phone messages, grabs his phone and checks it. All kinds of drama now.

He is at school, and all her friends are telling him he is horrible, a cheater, worthless, and actually throwing stuff at him at school in the hallways . He calls me at home and tells me he is sick and can I come get him. So I do. After he comes home he goes straight to bed and I think hes really sick at this point. I go check on him and he is SOBBING in his bed. I try to get him to tell me what happened and it took him hours to do it. He kept telling me he did a horrible thing and lost his girl forever. (oh brother). When I finally get the story, and figure out what really happened, of course I am upset. I cant stand that this girl has this kind of control over him. I tried to be supportive, but when it comes down to it, I had to say....she cant tell you who you can kiss! She broke up with you...what does she think she is doing? Anyway, this drama went on for several days, Kevin dealt with it better than I did. And I am not sure, but they are probably together again ( I dont think he would tell me!)

I cant imagine how horrible a MIL I will be! But I looked at his online messages, and he is always very mature and very supportive of this girl. No trashy talk, no innuendo, nothing I can see that would make me believe he isnt capable of handling the situation on his own. I am so proud of the person he is. Its makes me crazy when I think some little bimbo can have control over him like that!

OK, enough of that! Good news, he is getting good grades. I asked him what he had and he told me 2 As 1B and a C+. So I tell him the B needs to be an A and the C+ a B. So he brings me the report and its 3 As and a B! He totally read me there! So now what can I say.....nowhere to go with that one. If he had told me correctly first , I would have said, okay, raise that B to an A, but instead he pre-anticipated the outcome. That, in inself is pure genius!

Part 3. Football. My drummer boy decided he wants to play football this year instead. My skinny, asthmatic, disjointed son. I tell him, its his life and he gets to make his own decisions. So he has been going for 2 weeks and started spring practice today. He was so excited, he caught 3 passes in wide receiver pattern and got an interception on cornerback. I'm not all that familiar with the football stuff, but apparently this is good. I am a little disappointed in him not being on the drumline, just because he is wicked good. But I am not going to stop him from challenging himself in a new way either.

Part 4 . me. I am out of whack on everything. I couldt tell you what I ate lately but its not been great. And exercise nonexistant. My knee seems to be fine today tho, so thats a relief. My physical is tomorrow, and after that I can relax for another year. I think I have been mega=stressing on this, so I will be glad to get it over with.


Sorry so long......

I will try to catch up on journals a bit.

PS. UofL is playing at Rupp arena and I have tickets for thursdays game! That sjust like an hour away!

GO CARDS!

 

[lindalinda]

Well first of all, I saw the moon this morning while I was driving to work. It was a crescent. Kind of spooky in a haloweeny way, but definitely NOT a full moon. So I cant blame today on that!

I started out a little off I guess. We were very short at work (again). Anyway, I got sent to the tower first thing, so I take a bunch of stuff with me since I know I wont be getting a break (no people). I am carrying my headset, a bottle of green tea, a styrofoam cup of hot chocolate and a book. The elevator is going out so I will have to take my breaks up in the tower (if I get them). After I get off the elevator, holding all my crap, the door to the tower sticks and hits me in the arm. Just a little, but it shook my arm enough to splash hot chocolate ALL OVER MY PINK SHIRT! Yes it was lovely. And I was going to have my flight physical today so I actually have to go out in public like that!

So I go to my physical, which always stresses me out. I am going to a different DR this time, because he is supposed to be "easier" . Well, he was to put it simply. He was a little old man, and he cracked me up. The office was in a little building on the airfield at a general aviation airport in town. All his equipment was antique! It was so cute. He had this depth perception glasses thing that semed like it was invented by Ben Franklin! Even my blood pressure passed. So I was very relieved....

And then as I was leaving, in front of the Drs office, I was waiting to turn left at a traffic signal. The light turned green, but since I was turning, I had to wait for oncoming traffic. The guy in the truck behind me just rammed into me. I wasnt hurt (tho I sure am sore now). It is a busy intersection, so we pull into a parking lot. The bumper of my car is damaged, it was cut thru by the truck bumper. My car is a mitsu eclipse (very low) and the truck bumper hit it on top and tore it. But it didnt hit the trunk or anything else, just the bumper. I am still a little peeved, as the guy seems to be kinda , well , what do I say here.....he seems like the star football layer in high school, who hasnt done a thing with his life since....if you know what I mean. Anyway, I say lets just get his insurance info, this should be easy. He says he doesnt have insurance. What? He is driving a late model Ford F150 truck. He is a grown man, I'd say early 30s, not a kid at all. I thought he was just lying so he didnt have to put in a claim. He says he will give me his number and he will just pay. I say I want his insurance info. I mean I have no problem if he doesnt want to file, but I need to have it in case he doesnt pay. He says no, he doesnt have insurance, he canceled it. I say, you cant, thats illegal. He says he did. Mean while his girlfriend (who is obviously embarrassed at this point) says she can cover it. But I say, I dont have any idea how much it will be, maybe it wont be much. Anyway, I end up getting frustrated and calling the police. At first I was even more frustrated by the police, it seemed at first that he was jerking me around. But actually, he was just trying to make it so he didnt have to file charges against the guy, but force him to pay somehow. I was sure at this point I would never get any money out of him (he really didnt have insurance). But the policeman gave him a citation (so he has to get insurance, which I said I thought he should) and he got all the guys info, pretty much told him hes admitted what happened, and if he didnt pay me, all I have to do is put out a warrant for his arrest, and the policeman will go to court for it. I felt so sorry for his girlfriend. I am sure she will end up paying for it. I just wanted to say to her....run! you are too good for this bum!

I dont think it will end up costing that much. It is one of those molded bumpers, thats the only thing, I'm pretty sure it has to be replaced. I feel guilty about calling the police, but I think the guy would have never paid anything if I didnt. And he really needed a wake up call I would say. Actually , thinking about it like that, I probably did him a favor! This might be the turning point he needs! Or maybe the GF will open her eyes and get outta there!

Anyway, I am sore! Not hurt, just sore from tensing up I guess when he hit me.

I'm going to the b-ball game tomorrow!

GO CARDS!

 

[kmp1191]

Sorry to hear about the accident! That sucks! You will be more sore....(sorer??) tomorrow...take some tylenol or something before you go to bed....that usually helps. I agree...you should have called the police. Not having insurance is illegal...and you are also right...he wouldn't have paid for the damages. Trust me...I got hit 2 years ago by a girl in her daddy's truck...not alot of damage, but still, I wanted it fixed. They didn't have insurance. My insurance covered it, and is in the process of suing the people for reimbusement. Also found out the girl never went for the court date, so now she's suspended! Some people are just dumb!

Also sorry about Kev's girlfriend issues. My son is only 11...so we haven't had those problems yet.....YET!!!

Congrats on getting through the physical!!

Have a great week...what's left of it!
