Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kmp1191]

Sorry Mrs.Beaner....I'll send some sunshine your way!

So....today was Wednesday.
Nothing too exciting happening around here. I did lunch on my own...no JC...I've done that a few times this week... scared to death for Saturday to come. Time will tell I guess.
B-jc blueberry muffin
L-Lenny's Chicken Salad salad....(chicken salad on a bed of lettuce w/ tomatos & lite ranch)
D-jc fish & potato wedges....
S-jc lemon cake
Water-60 oz
Exercise-2 mile walk w/ DH....then came home and worked on the attic for a little bit!! I think I'm done up there!!! I have one more load to take to Goodwill....for now!
I also managed to get my office area cleaned up!! Now I can start getting quotes for carpet. Not sure if I'm ready for that or not.

Work has been ok. Everyone talks at once, ALL the time...which really drives me nuts!! Instead of waiting for one conversation to end, they talk OVER the person talking....then the first person talks louder...and so on and so on. So...(you know me.... )...I logged onto my SIRIUS radio through the computer and turned it up....loud! My boss looks out of her office at me...then says..."Marie...what are you doing?" So I told her....loudly across the room...." Well, if "L" is going to talk, and "N" is going to talk over her, and they keep getting louder, then I can't hear my music, so I'm just trying to drown those two out!" Then I smiled real big! My boss cracked up laughing and I got dirty looks from "L" and "N"....(but they both shut up!! ) I win!!

Lets see what trouble I can stir up tomorrow!!
Have a good one!!

Great job getting your attic and office areas cleaned up!

Sorry about the stuff going on at work.... Sounds like your co-workers need a good dose of .

Hope you are having a great day!

 

[kimwim8]

Lets see what trouble I can stir up tomorrow!!

stir it, baby. I honestly can't WAIT to hear about your last day of work there before you move. Ever see the movie Max Keebler's somethin-or-other???

Yeah, we can use some sunshine. I'm tired of the temps in the 40's and NO sun!!!

 

[kmp1191]

I behaved today....mostly... (let's just leave it at that...ok)
(I didn't get yelled at, or fired...so it was a good day....i guess!)

So, food today...
b-mcdonalds fruit yogurt
l-jc pesto pizza
d-jc cheese ravioli
s-jc cheesecake
water-60 oz
exercise-2 1/2 mile walk .....love these walks!!! great stress reliever for both of us!

Still no word on Alabama...I seriously think I'm going to come out of my skin if we don't hear something soon. I'm anxious, nervous, scared, ready,....how many more adjectives do we need here? I NEED PIXIE DUST YA"LL!!!!
I need patience too.

OHOHOH....I wore a new black skirt today....with a black shell/tank and a white silk button down over it.... lots of compliments!
Tomorrow is jeans day!!!

have a great day ya'll!!

Comin right up.....



And...........we're all DYING to see some pics!!!!!!! (well, at least I am!)

 

[kmp1191]

Ok, here's the deal....
I have JC at 8:30 in the morning, (Saturday)then family pics RIGHT after that, then a wedding all afternoon....Sunday is a Wedding show...ALL DAY.
MAYBE, MAYBE I'll have DH take a picture of me while I'm kinda dresed up this weekend, and MAYBE I'll post my before and after pictures....MAYBE!!!

I might not be back on til Saturday night, or Sunday night, depending....we'll see how everything goes.
I'll call McBeaner IF I manage to lose any weight this week.
I'm looking for about a 2 pound gain right now.

I'll talk to ya'll soon!
Keep the PD coming....I NEED THAT PHONE CALL!!!

marie

 

[lovinaz]

You are doing so great, I truly am envious of all the weight you've lost! You should post your before and after pix, as motivation to others (including me!).

Hopefully your transition from JC to "real" food will be easy. And I don't even want to hear it about a gain, everytime you say that you have a loss!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Amy....but this week...I really think there is going to be an increase.
Let's see...what did I eat that wasn't on plan this week....
turkey meatloaf, speghetti, Lenny's chicken salad on lettuce, 1/2 sonic milkshake, 1 bottle of wine , a few(dozen) handfulls of whoppers (malted milk balls), spicy chicken tenders w/ honey mustard (2 strips), Sonic cherry limeade...
I'm sure there's more, but that's what I'm remembering right now. Oh, and I"m having a Rum & diet Coke right now....And I will probably have another one after this one.

I'm really not worried about the weigh in tomorrow. I've had a loss EVERY week since Jan 1....who am I to complain about a gain? I've lost 25 pounds, I feel great, I've gone from a 12 to an 8-10, and I am really enjoying life. No, I'm not bragging....I'm just saying that if there's a gain tomorrow...I'm ok with it. (remind me of that tomorrow!)


THE PIXIE DUST IS WORKING!!!! Next interview....Wednesday at 9:30!!!

We went carpet shopping tonight, but the place closed about 30 minutes early!! It'll be Monday before I can get back over there. At least I can get moving on that now! (Tax $$ came in this morning!! )
Lets see....what else....I was TOTALLY obnoxious at work today!! Really ticked "L" off!! She went into the boss's office to complain and the boss told her to go sit down!! Everyone was in a really good mood today...except "L"...oh well!!

ok...gonna go eat a turkey burger now!
have a great weekend!!

I have fallen behind on your journal. But the jist I get is your hubby has his last interview next week. YEE-HA! Congrats! I'm sure you will love bama!

Good Luck on your weigh in tomorrow. (tho I'm sure you dont need it )

 

[kmp1191]

I GAINED 1.1 POUNDS!!!!!!

Told ya so!!
I told my counselor that I was going to show a gain.
And like I said before....it's ok. I know what I did. I know what I need to do to fix it. End of story!!

Stopped and talked to the carpet warehouse place...they came out and measured....I ordered....it will be installed next Saturday!

Now I've got to run....wedding today!
have a great day peeps!!

Hey lady. Bean-a-licious here. I am SO proud of you. You embraced your gain. I'm actaully glad you gained (NO, don't hate me). I know when I did during my process, it was a wake up call. Sometimes if you cheat & don't show a loss, then your mind thinks that it's ok to cheat a little more, you know? Kick it in gear this week and get those last few pounds OFF!!!

I know your DH is gonna kick you-know-what on his last interview.

Oh, and thanks for sending the beautiful weather! We've been outside all weekend enjoying it!!! You da best.

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh Marie,

I am so excited for your great news! Sending lots of for your DH's interview.

I know that you aren't happy with the gain, Marie, but you will definitely take that weight off this week. I know you CAN do it!

Have a great week!

 

[lindalinda]

Dont worry about the gain, you probably just forgot to pee first again!

pixie dust to your DH on his interview, I'm sure its all gonna work out for you guys!

Have you been sneaking a peek on the internet at any houses? I love house shopping. I might just take a peek myself! I am constantly checking out stuff in the city I think I might be able to afford in 4 years!


Have a good monday!

 

[kmp1191]

Yep...it's a Monday all right!!
Let's start off w/ the food...get it out of the way...
B-jc oatmeal/raisin/granola square...tasteless, but ok
L-jc chicken salad w/ 5 crackers & applesauce
D-jc chicken fettucine & 1 piece of garlic bread...really good
S-none
Water-40 oz so far....16 oz diet coke....rum & coke....not yet, but I think it's coming...
Exercise-went for a quickie shopping trip w/ DH....so...none
Mood - anxious, irritated, blah, overwhelmed, ...yeah, the same.

Tonight I'm going to put together the photos from the family shoot that I did 2 weeks ago...don't get paid until I deliver a finished product. (that won't happen again!), then I'm going to clean, sweep & mop the kitchen & living room.

I wish ya'll could see my dog right now. Gunner is sitting right next to me...in front of the open window watching traffic and enjoying the rainy breeze. Every now and then his ears perk up...then they go back down. I wonder what he'd be like if he had a brain!

I...somewhat behaved at work today. I got a little giddy and did a cartwheel in the middle of the office. It was just me and Bettye in there. She started laughing, then told everyone when they came back what I did. They didn't believe her, so I did 4 more!! Don't know what the heck I was thinking...it was pretty funny though!
Good thing I wore capris and not a skirt!!

Have a nice evening ya'll!
I'll check in tomorrow!
marie

 

[kimwim8]

Good lord woman, please no skirt cartwheels in the office!! We all know you're a skinny minnie now, but that's a little TOO much information.

Food looks GREAT!

Good luck & pixie dust to your uniformed man. He's gonna do GREAT!

 

[kmp1191]

Yeah....no cartwheels today. Wore a skirt, so I was a little calmer today. Tomorrow I'm going to be unbearable until I hear back from DH. Interview at 9:30 am.....keep the PD coming!!!
Food today sucked....and it's going to pretty much all week. My nerves are shot right now.
B-jc blueberry muffin
L-grilled chicken sandwich....(Backyard Burger)
D-told the kids we'd go to sonic...yes, I should have a jc before we go....we'll see...just not feeling it today.
Water-60 oz so far
exercise-none
mood-quiet....not cranky....nervous....worried....same ol' same ol'.

I'll check back in later....
