Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

Screw the mill....I'm loving walking outside!!
Of course, the colder it gets....i'll have to spend some time w/ the 'mill, but I'll be hittin' the streets for now.
ALTHOUGH, I do have to take tonight off. I don't know what I did today, but my lower back is killing me!! I sat down in a chair, and felt a twinge, and as the day progressed, it has gotten worse. I've taken 4 tylenol, and now that I'm home, I'm gonna take a musle relaxer and find the heating pad. I told DH that I was taking tonight off, but I'd be back out in the morning. No, I won't over do it...I promise!!

Ok...so today...GM is still there. Time will tell. Today was another long day, but it's Friday!
Food~
B~2 tea biscuts w/ blackberry jam(the biscut is about the size of a half dollar)
L-Went for Mexican~1/2 burrito, 1 taco, some rice (NO SWT TEA!!!)
(I ALWAYS order tea w/ mexican food!! Major accomplishment!)
S-2 tylenol & mini hershey bar (bite size)
S-2 more tylenol
D-Muscle relaxer(Flexerol), and maybe some oatmeal...I'm craving oatmeal...WTH??
Water-60 oz
Exercise-right now....moving is taking everything I've got!!
Resisted-sweet tea, more mini hershey's, ....oh crap....i just realized I had chips and salsa!!! And I was doing so good on the Chip Challenge!

I know there was something else I wanted to tell ya'll, but for the life of me I can't remember it now. Might be the tylenol/Flexerol combo...
No photo shoots this weekend...YEAH
Gonna clean house and scrapbook...I hope!!

Have a good evening...I'll see you on the other side!!!

Yea! A real weekend for you! Try to relax and enjoy it!

Funny you mentioned the backache. I was having a wierd shooting pain down my leg earlier today. I couldnt figure it out. I think it must have been a pinched nerve. I thought I couldnt exercise, but I decided to try anyway, and I guess that fixed it, seems to be gone now! Hope your back feels better!

Have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

You're not gonna know what to do with yourself...no photo shoots!!

Nice job with skipping the sweet tea! Oh, and I did the same thing with the tortilla chips...ate them & THEN realized they were chips. DUH!!

Have a GREAT weekend, and hope your back feels better!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Marie-
Does this mean you get to relax this weekend?!?!?! HOpe you are enjoying it!

 

[kmp1191]

AAAAHHHHHHH....so nice!! I think I need to quit the photog job...I could get used to this!!
Yesterday went to DD soccer game (Dh took DS to his), they tied 2-2, then she had a b-day party to go to, so DH, DS & I went out to lunch and ran some errands, then I went back to the party (skating) and watched her skate and play, then DH came and got us and we came home, where I clean my bedroom.....(it was a mess...laundry central) then we sat on the couch and watched all the movies that we had TiVo'ed the past couple of weeks!
The back is better...not 100%, but I will be walking today. Yesterday it wasn't an option...at least today I'm standing up w/out cringing!
Today DS soccer team is having a Parents against kids soccer game...DH will be playing...I'm not sure if I will be or not. Either way it's going to be fun!!!
I'm going to start getting my office/scrapbook area straightened up now...I'm going to scrapbook today too!!!

Have a great day ya'll!!

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey, Marie! Hope you are enjoying your work free weekend!!

Hope your back gets to feeling better!!

You have been doing AWESOME on your walking!! Way to kick it into gear!!

It was funny to see that other people forget that chips & salsa = chips too! I did it twice and still forgot!

Sorry to hear that work is being a pain! Let's just all win the lottery together and retire to Disney World!! We could each buy one of the suites in DVC for year round residences! Now that would be the life!! Since that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.... I hope work gets better soon!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!! Have fun scrapbooking!!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Amber!
Today has been fun too!! ( I could get used to this!!)
I cleaned up DD room... I didn't think a 7 yr old girl could be so messy!!! Then we went to DS Parent/Child soccer game! I did play...about 2 quarters...defense..I figured less running....I WAS WRONG!!! I didn't want to mess my back up anymore, so I had a sub come in for me and I got the camera out and started shooting!! It was a blast!! The game ended in a tie 5-5!

Oh, I forgot to log my mile yesterday. It was slow, but it was still a mile!!

DH and I will head out in a little while for our 3 mile walk....after I get back, I'll log all of it.

Later taters!!
marie

edit~only did 1 1/2 today....back still not 100%

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie - you really are doing GREAT! You're getting in your exercise even with some back pain!! Look at all of those miles already!!

I'm gonna miss ya this week. Keep up the GREAT work!

Oh, and are you still ON for the 17th??

 

[kmp1191]

Actually, my surgery is for the 16th...and yes...it's still on...and yes...i'm TOTALLY dreading it. I can feel my heart start beating harder every time I think about it! WTH...I gave birth twice...and I'm panicked about this??!!
Shoot...I just got dizzy thinking about it...I swear I'm gonna need a valium!

Ok...today is my weigh day...drumroll please....prprprprprprprprprprprprprprprp

160.5 -2.5
Hey...I was 163 when I started, so I'm happy!!
I'm going to weigh only on Mondays, otherwise I'll get depressed about the flunctuating scale.

Food today_
B-1 poptart
L- tuna on wheat
D-not sure yet...either a meal replacement shake, or a salad.
resisted-CANDY DRAWER, candy bowl, coke, killing GM,
Exercise-Getting ready to hit the mill for 3 miles. (it's raining today )

Marie, you are really doing great and congrats on the loss! That must feel really good and keep you motivated. I am really impressed with your determination on the exercise - WTG . Glad you had such a nice weekend and hope the work week goes by quickly! Do you/the kids have Friday off for Veterans Day?

Yeah, DH and the kids are off...not me...you know those car dealerships...they'd be open Christmas if they thought they could sell a car!!

oh, and from my earlier post...i forgot my water intake....60 oz
and dinner wound up being about 5 toasted ravioli.

[kimwim8]

Congrats on the loss!!! That's awesome!! I predict 150's next Monday!! (isn't it hard to not weigh yourself? )


Well, I'm almost outta here. I know you'll miss my ray-of-sunshine, uplifting, inspirational posts around here! But I'll be back soon enough!

You know you can call me anytime! Hopefully I don't lose my cell phone on this trip!

Rough day...woke up on the wrong side of the world...

B-Banana
L-God help me...I went to school and had lunch w/ my DS...actually paid for a school lunch. I don't know what the hell it was, but let's just say, it's a good thing the kids don't know any better!! I did eat my corn and applesauce.

Snacks for the day- 3 hershey mini's and a reese's yeah..

Exercise-don't know yet....
Resisted-killing the GM...MAJOR accomplishment! I have a new name for him...but if I post it here, I'll be banned, and my computer will probably catch fire!

OH, and I found out that next thursday...my ear surgery...i have to be at the hospital at 5:30!!!
But I also decided today that we are going to go home (Illinois) for Thanksgiving!! gonna see mom!!!

Ok....now I'm gonna go balance my checkbook!

I like the "pet" names for the evil bosses too! We have one I coined myself that I'm especially proud of. Its sort of like dictator. Except think of a teeny weeny cut .....another work for that.....+tator.

Have a rum runner and relax! (I'd have no son if it werent for rum!)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND HUBBY!! 15 YEARS TODAY!!
I got some really pretty flowers at work today, and we're going out to dinner tomorrow night. DH and I don't do gifts and stuff for anniversary's. I told him a long time ago that he was my gift, and even better, I was his!! What more could we want!!

Today wasn' tooooo terribly bad...
B-1 cinnamon roll
L-nothing
S-2 brownie bites
D-2 pieces pizza - it was DS soccer party
water-60 oz
exercise-none

I had to go to the ear dr. today to get my paperwork for the surgery next week...wound up having to have another hearing test, and a mini physical it took almost 2 hrs, and I was on my lunch hour!! They were hurrying for me. It really wasn't too bad...just wasn't expecting it. I thought I was going to run in, pick up an envelope and run out....WRONG!!
Oh, and I failed the hearing test again...darnit!

Anyway, I'm gonna have to increase my mileage this weekend...I have a wedding to shoot, so I'll try to keep track....we'll see. I know I'm behind, and I'm ok with it. I don't think I'll hit the 75, but I'll be happy w/ anything!!

Have a great day tomorrow!!
marie

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Happy Anniversary!!! I hope you guys have a nice dinner tonight!

Just wanted to stop by and say hello before i leave!!! This is probably the last time ill post so try not to miss me too much

Have a great weekend/week til i get back!!!!

 

[lindalinda]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I am shocked! 15 years, why you must have gotten married in your early teens! I know you live in tennessee but sheesh!

Seriously, I cant imagine 15 years....I maxed out at 4 and at least 2 of that was miserable! I am meant to be single.

Hope you are having a wonderful dinner!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Linda & Jen!! Actually, I got married when I was 22....you can do the math from there!!
We had a GREAT dinner!! We went to a resturant called PF Changs...omg..it was SSSSOOOOOO good!!! And yes, I was off the diet last night!! Lettuce wraps for appetizer, salt & pepper prawn w/ a spicy sauce, fried rice and KILLER cheesecake for desert!!! The only problem the entire night...I had 2 glasses of wine....White Zinfindahl...(sp?)...2 glasses, and they weren't even big glasses....by the time we left I was buzzing big time!!! I had to bend over to fix my pantleg when we got outside and DH had to hold on to me to keep me from falling over!!! WTH!!! I didn't used to be a total lightweight...heck, I was drinking Corona's a few weeks ago...had about 6 of them and didn't feel a thing!!! (I mean I wasn't buzzed or drunk!) Anyway, we got home and I fell into the spinning bed!! (But keep in mind, I had been dizzy most of the afternoon anyway, so it was ok!!)

Alright...today was pretty good....NOT!!! The hard drive on my computer is totally fried...i'm using DH's laptop right now....I hate using the laptop...I can't see what I"m doing and it's awkward...and I can't spell using it either!!
Anyway, that's fried, then I drive about 40 miles, shoot a wedding/reception, get done w/ that around 2, drive all the way back home only to pull into the mall parking lot, turn around and my purse is gone....I forgot it at the reception location!! So, I call them, call DH, he's pissed, I drive back down there to get it, and now i'm finally home!!! I should have been home around 3 (from the mall too) but instead got home at 5. Now then, I"m going to clean up my office/scrapbook area and start working. I'm going to finish my WDW album...can't do anything else...ALL MY FRICKING PICTURES WERE ON THE COMPUTER!!!
Anyway, have a great evening ya'll...I'll try to check in tomorrow.

[kmp1191]

Happy Fricking Monday people!!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm already tired of this week!!
Hard drive on the computer is fried...they are still trying to save my photos....it's not looking good! $75 an hour for that....plus a new harddrive.....gonna be over $200 i'm sure...Merry Christmas!
Also, we went w/ Comcast Digital phone service a week ago...guess what...phones went out yesterday around 3...they are supposed to be out tonight to fix them.
General Manager at work is a goober still...he's trying to be real nice to us, but he just gives me the creeps. Have you ever just had that uneasy feeling around someone? Kinda like Ted Bundy or something? Also, the receptionist called in sick, so they had me answering the phones today...until I reminded them that I had to have my job done by Wednesday because of commissions and the fact that I'm gonna be out Thursday & Friday. I covered until 1:30...I hate covering the phones!!
I think I'm just PMS ing....
Food for today....
b-toast w/ jelly
l-chicken sandwich on wheat w/ cheese
d-don't know yet...not hungry.
s-nothing
resisted-candy drawer
exercise-waiting for dh to get home...then we'll do our 3 miles.

hope ya'll are having a better day than I am....just not in a good mood right now.
later
marie


oh....and I just found out a friend of ours....38 was rushed to the hospital w/ chest pains around 4:30 today. He's been one of DH's co-workers/partners/ and friend for 10+ years. They're not sure if it's heart attack or stroke. He's concious and alert, but monitors and enzymes are out of whack...little bit of p & pd please...he has 3 daughters...youngest is 5 months.
