Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

.2 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. Thats 3.2 ounces if I did the math right (highly questionable, but who's gonna correct me). I'm pretty sure I could pee more than 3.2 ounces. I get drug tested all the time so I think I could do it. I would definitely pee first if I was you. Downside being 5 weeks to lose a pound. I think that must be where the "drink lots of water" part comes in. Lets say you pee 6 times a day, 4 ounces each time. Thats 1 1/2 pound per day! Holy crap its 10.5 lbs per week! I think I'm onto something! I could market this! The Pee Diet! There is no pee smiley.

Later, youre doing great BTW!

OMG!! You are too funny!!
I bet you could market The Pee Diet and become a millionare over night...just remember, I was your inspiration!! Jeez...that is too funny!!
And yes, i know .2 is a loss, but man...it just sucked because i am really wanting to see 145 soon...then 140....then....maybe....135..we'll see.
Today was a good day. I stayed on plan and even excersized!! Yep...sure did...3 mile walk with DH tonight! It felt great too!!
Food-
b-kashi go lean crunch
l-jc pizza
d-jc fish & chips
s-jc lemon cake
water-60 oz
exercise-3 mile walk-40 minutes...I felt like we had a pretty good pace going.


ok...so that's it for now. Still no word from Alabama...DH was told it would be a few weeks before the next interview....it's driving me crazy...literally.

i'm going to bed....maybe i'll sleep tonight.

Anna-welcome back to the Disworld!! Missed you! Yeah, I like being out of hte 150's...I just hope I stay there....forever!!!
Kimmy-the laundry is still here....waiting for you!!! And yeah...you need to move down here....you could come on some shoots with me....wouldn't that be a hoot!!!

 

[CACruisin']

Great job getting the walk win with DH ! Amazing about the DJ. Are you ready to leave Memphis yet? Here's that you hear soon from Alabama. I'm with ya on the waiting thing driving your crazy. Patience is not one of my virtues. Hang in there!

 

[toystoryduo]

Here's some Alabama to go along with those Alabama Slammers!

And of course, we have the band playing "Sweet Home Alabama" too!

Sending good thoughts and your way today!

 

[lovinaz]

Don't rush yourself, you will see those 145, 140, etc, you just have to WAIT for it to happen naturally! And waiting is the worst part, isn't it? Have to wait to hear about DH's job, have to wait to see your dream number on the scale. I think you need to sit down with a bottle of Bailey's and wait that way!!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks guys....I agree....maybe if I drink enough something will start happening! I'm sick of limbo!
I'm not in a "happy" place tonight...kids are being obnoxious, DH is reading the paper and watching...what else....::cop: ....
I have to go get DD in the shower...then it's 3 tylenol and bed....i'm cranky and i don't want to be around people anymore.
am I pms ing? jeeez i hope not.
oh...i stayed on plan today...nothing exciting...no walking..it was raining by the time i got off work.

ok...enough of the depression...i'm out for now!

Hey lady. Sounds like you & me sipped from the same miserable juice today.

Oh, and you & me and shooting, not a good thing. Unless you meant shots.....

 

[CACruisin']

Sounds like we were all having "Mondays" yesterday. You willl reach your goal. Look how far you have come already! The limbo stress of the AL thing is probably getting to you also. Hang in there! Good things are coming for you.

 

[kimwim8]

Hope you had a better day today!

 

[kmp1191]

Is it Friday yet?
Mood swings from hell.....actually, not mood swings.....just people really ticking me off!!! I won't go into detail, but I'm ready for another day off!! ONE of my co-workers is really getting on my nerves!! I talked to my boss about it, and she has noticed a "difference" in "N" lately. I told my boss that "N" and her "attitude" needs to stay the heck away from me before I smack the crap out of her!
Anyway, today sucked. Plain and simple! It was another co-workers b-day, so I had a piece of baskin-robbins ice cream cake...
I was not on plan at all today....
B-banana nut muffin (jc)
S-BR ice cream cake (around 10 am)
L-none
D-4 bites of jc cashew chicken (just not in the mood)
water-60 oz
exercise-none....lots of brain exercise, but no physical

DH is sick...allergies/summer cold....kept us both up most of last night sneezing and blowing. He's sleeping in DD room tonight...his choice, not mine. He's probably going to to have to go the doctor...
Kids are in my bedroom fighting....no crying or blood yet, so I'm leaving them alone.
OH, DH drug dog has tested positive for heartworms!!! We're both ticked! All of our animals get their heartworm pills on the first of every month...DH & the vet called heartgard and they are supposed to cover her treatement. Now I'm worried about Gunner...just add it to the stress bowl!!
I'll call our vet tomorrow and make an appointment.

OH, and DH's second interview is on April 10th.
So, here's the question for all of you.......
Should we go ahead and put the house on the market within the next 2 weeks? Everything is painted...the yard looks good....I need to have a garage sale and clean out the attics....and do that this weekend...(no photo shooots!!!! ) Let me know what you think.
I'm tired...I still haven't done our taxes, and the house is still in shambles.
BUT, i'm not worrying about it now.
nite!

Sending you a Marie. I hope today is a much better day for you, WISH sis!

That's great that your DH has that second interview! Sending prayers and .....

Have a good day today!

 

[CACruisin']

You are definitely having a week! Sorry DH is sick. That stinks. It is good you don't have a photo shoot this weekend. You might get a little down time (Marie and down time - that is an oxymoron! ) Regarding the house, I am too superstitious. I would wait to actually list the house. Definitely get it all ready to go and maybe even contact a realtor. Basically, get everything lined up and ready.

First thing though, you HAVE to get your taxes down!! Uncle Sam frowns on late filing. Maybe you will even get a refund? (Note: this is from the gal that has had to file an extension for each of the past three years.. )

Hang in there, Friday is almost here!

 

[lovinaz]

I'm with Anna, I'd wait to put the house up. I don't know what they housing market is like there, but you'd be in a world of hurt/stress if the house sold right away, before you know when DH is starting his new job! And you don't know what his starting date will be, it might not be for another month or so. And sometimes you get relocation assistance with a new job, so BE PATIENT!!!! Plus with the kids and school, I'm sure you want them to finish up the school year, etc etc I think I've made my point...

Don't worry about the ice cream cake, you seemed to have compensated by not eating too much for the rest of the day. As long as those kind of days only happen occasionally, you'll do fine!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks for the advice guys...I think you're right...gonna wait til he actually has the job in hand. The housing market here is ridiculous!! New subdivisions going up over night....it'll take at least 3 months to sell anything....and that's thinking positive!! I still have to do my taxes and get new carpet....so that'll take a few weeks.
Today is ATTIC DAY!!!!! Yes, I should be up there now...just trying to motivate myself...


So...weigh in was this morning...... -2 !!!
146.8!!! Almost there guys!!!

Ok...gotta get busy now! I'll check in w/ ya'll later!!
have a great day!

Wow, I'm just catching up! What a wedding! Sounds like mine almost 25 years ago. I made my dad stay drink free for 2 days or not walking me down the aisle. By the time I got to the reception, he was GONE! Called the police to arrest my brother for parking in HIS parking place. Then the photog got REALLY loaded & LOST our wedding pics except for 1 roll. Then another roll ended up at the local High School......Not fun!

You're doing very well. GOAL will come....eventually! (I'm hoping I reach mine before I'm 80! )

Have a GREAT weekend! Try to get some REST!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Way to go on the 2 pound loss!!! You are doing great!

Try not to work too hard this weekend!! Remember you need to relax some sometime!

I agree about waiting to put the house up. It can take a while to get everything settled and you don't want to get into a bind.

That wedding sounded interesting. I've been watching that show The Wedding Bells and it cracks me up. Bet you get to see LOTS of interesting things doing that job!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Marie-
CONGRATS on the 2 pound loss!! you are doing an amazing job--i think we all need to celebrate--alabama slammers anyone?

 

[lindalinda]

You are gonna be a skinny minnie before you know it! Did you ever decide on your reward? Clothes, vacation, cabana boy?

Keep it up, but when you get to goal, dont forget about the still-chubby brigade...we need your inspiration!


Just thought I'd add....I leave for vacation in 4 days!

 

[kimwim8]

WOW!! It's been a long time since I've been here! I'm sorry. It stinks to actually have to work at work these days.

Congrats on the loss!! You are doing AWESOME, my friend.

I hope your DH is feeling better by now. Take care and I'll talk to you very soon.

 

[kmp1191]

Skinny minnie....yeah...I don't think so!! But thanks!
Today was a long day...month end stuff. Didn't get out of work until after 6...then came home, changed and did 2 miles w/ DH. It felt good...stress relief!!

Food today was on track...
B-jc stuffed b-fast sandwich
L-jc sweedish meatballs....
S-veggie chips w/ salsa
D-jc meatloaf...plus I added some steamed veggies...lovin' those veggies!
Water - 40 ish oz...not good on the water today
Exercise-2 mile walk
Exercise yesterday.....2 b-day parties at Pump It Up...(all moonbounce place....yes...I bounced!! )...then came home and cleaned the garage and the attic above the garage...and started on the expandable (other attic) area..got about 1/4 done w/ it....it's gonna take some time.
I stopped at 7 last night....took a shower and did my taxes. Not done yet, but close. Looks like I'll get enough back for carpet, and a little left over.

Ok..I have to pay some bills and balance the checkbook now. Oh...what a wild life I lead!!

later taters!
