Sister Challenge - moved to New Years Resolution in July

[goldcupmom]

Marie, BACK AWAY from the WHOPPERS!!!
They are the ENEMY!!!
(easy to say, hard to do! - at least they're not the tiny Cadbury chocolate eggs)

Your house project sounds wonderful. You'll love it when you're done.

Hope you have a great week!!

Wow that is a great loss for your sis! I wouldn't worry about your weigh in today. You are getting back on track and you will knock that off in no time! Good thinking w/ the water! Guzzle it down! It helps fill you up!

Have a good one!

I am thinking about putting tile in my kitchen. I have had samples laying there for about a month, but thats as far as Ive gotten with it. Its on my list tho!

Also, I gained 2 lbs this week. I am not logging it tho, I am ignoring it for now on the premise that I will lose it back in a day or two. So your 1 measly little pound is nothing. (have you tried leaning just a little? sometimes the scale likes that.)

(have you tried leaning just a little? sometimes the scale likes that.)

oh, trust me, i leaned, i moved the scale, i stepped off, stepped on, stepped off,got down real close to make sure it was set right.....it was, nothing worked. oh well.

yesterday was busy. i'm trying to remember what all i ate, since i still can't fine my little book.

b-1 piece of toast w/ peanut butter
s-nothing
l-bean& cheese burito...made at home....very little bean or cheese.
s-2 whoppers.....they ambushed me!! they were in before i knew what happened. i won't let them do the sneak attack on me again!!
d-chicken sandwich,swt tea
water intake - 48 oz, 12 oz swt tea, 12 oz root beer
exercise - scrubbed baseboards, power walked the mall 60 min,
resisted-more whoppers, candy drawer, coke

my entire house it turned completely upside down right now. all of my living room furniture is in the garage, or the dining room, or in my bedroom. i have no washer or dryer until thursday, and the refridgerator will be moved to the already tiled part of the livingroom later this morning. i can't even walk in my bedroom right now because i have a tv and all the electronic stuff in there! i'm tired.
gonna go do some crunches now....work out some frustrations. can't do Bob....don't have any room to move!
things should be back to normal on thrusday....i hope.
(i really wish i had some time off work this week, i'd be painting the kitchen and livingroom...)

later taters!

Geez, Marie - you have so much going on!! I give you a lot of credit for still getting in some exercise!!

And GREAT thinking with the water! That will definitely help. Maybe you could just treat yourself to the sweet tea once or twice a week? Way up here, we call it iced tea (but I'm thinking it's the same thing if it's sweetened). My mom makes AWESOME iced tea. But I've finally gotten myself used to drinking it unsweetened with some lemon. Took a while...but now I actually like it. I do decaf green tea.

You're doing great! Keep it up & try not to pee when you sneeze from all the dust!

 

[kmp1191]

Ya know, i just got to work, i'm trying not to stress out, but i'm on the verge of a little breakdown.

 

[lovinaz]

Just think, only 2 more days and all your stuff will be back where it should be and it will look great! Just a couple days of pain and agony for years of a nice looking home. You can make it!

Watch those pesky Whoppers! Don't give in!

Have you tried regular iced tea with Splenda? That would cut down calories a lot.

 

[kmp1191]

I know...i'm just whining.....i just feel like everything (home, work, kids) is in utter chaos right now. I know last week was tough w/ hubby gone, but this week is starting to take it's toll on me. It's only tuesday!
mom....where's my backpack?...mom, where's my shoes....no son, I didn't throw your book away.....it's in your backpack....the backpack you can't find.....oh, it's in your sisters room...no, i don't know how it got in there....yes daughter, i will put your hair in a ponytail....no dear, i can't let you wear makeup...why....because you're six.....no dear, i don't have time to paint your fingernails this morning.....why, because the tile man is at the door and i'm in a robe with a towel on my head.....
then I get to work this morning, and 3 people bombard me with questions.....hello.....can i get to my desk first? can i set my purse down? what do you mean we're out of copy paper, there's 6 cases in the storage room! yes, i know you need the "smith" deal....rhonda has it. rhonda doesn't have it. why doesn't rhonda have it. oh, now she found it. why are you bothering me about this, i'm not rhonda! oh, thank you for bringing a dozen fricking donuts again....that's just what my fat butt needs! no, i don't have an extra stapler, where is yours? you took it home....why? oh, the computer locked up.....what were you doing when it locked up......no, i won't tell the boss......ok....just ctl,alt,delete and it will reboot.....it didn't work?......see the button right there....push it.....wait a few minutes then push it again.....whats that called.....the power button.

it's 10:30....can i go to lunch now?

OMG, Marie....I hope your day gets better!

But I gotta say, the conversation with your DD....I have that at least 3 times a week! Aren't they great??? I'm scared to see them 10 years from now. (if mine makes it that long)

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks kim.....it's getting better.....my boss and i went shopping....2 hours & $200.00 worth of clothes and shoes later, i'm in a better frame of mind.
gotta love Target!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Way to Shop Marie! Shopping is always great stress relief for me! Hope your day continues to get better! Have a good night and don't let the chaos get to you! It will all be better in a couple of days.

Now that's the kind of boss I need!!

 

[mrsschlep]

I just read your whole journal... all 17 pages of it!!

I think you are doing an awesome job!! The challenge you have going with your sisters is such a great idea! If everyone is contributing thier money, someone is going to have one nice shopping spree!! You all seem to be very supportive of each other.

I'm sure that you will be back on track before you know it...it seems to be a little chaotic at your house right now with all the renovations you are doing... you'll get there.

Oh...and you mentioned that you lost your notebook.... is it the same one you threw at the cat when it was peeing on the carpet? Go check by the litter box!

 

[lovinaz]

I love Target! In fact, I am banned from going by myself because I can do WAY too much damage...

I'm glad you are feeling less stressed. Sometimes you just need to let it all out!

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you enjoyed the ups and downs of the last couple of months or so.....
Actually, I think it was the same notebook....i'll check tonight when i get home!! thanks!

 

[lovinaz]

Did you find your notebook??

How are you doing today? I bet the house is looking great!

nope...no notebook. i think the cat buried it....
I'm going to start a new one...gonna have to start logging my food....it keeps me disciplined...(yeah, right!)
omg ya'll....i'm ready for a vacation!! don't ask me what i've eaten the past 3 days.....i only remember chinese food for dinner last night and a salad wrap for lunch today.....everything else is a blur. i know i resisted a 12 pack of beer, and the candy drawer....
ok...tile is in!!! and it looks GREAT!!! we moved all the furniture back in last night and finally sat down around 9pm..took a shower, ate a few bites of chinese and went to bed. i never knew one house could have so much dust!!!i spent most of the evening wiping everything down!! i think i went through 3 dust rags and a whole bottle of pledge!!
our next project is to carpet the bedrooms and office area....i'm not even going to think about it until next month!!

ok....like i said, food intake sucked.....water intake was good though....about 70 oz yesterday and60 today. i'm just glad i didn't cave in and grab a beer last night....it was tempting.

both kids are mad at me....as usual!! they were screaming at each other in the garage this morning....literally screaming!! i thought the neighbors were going to call the police and report me for child abuse and i wasn't even out there. needless to say, they are both grounded....until i get in a better mood....which will be never according to them. tv's, ps2, gamecube,computer use....all gone. out of their rooms until.....well, like i said, until i'm in a better mood. i told them they could go outside and jump on the trampoline until they puked for all i cared!! they aren't talking to me....oh well. i'm the meanest mommy around....just ask them!! i never did find out why they were screaming at each other....ds was probably breathing in dd air space....or dd might have tooted too close to ds...who cares!!

i'm going to try to go walking in the morning....just to get back on track....i miss working out....i feel so fat and gross!! blah blah blah!!!
that's me when i walk..

ok....gonna go do somethng worth while....i'll let you know what it is after i've done it!
later taters!
marie

OMG!!! you are tooooo funny!!!

 

[lovinaz]

You'll get back on track with the workouts soon. It's hard to stick to anything with the house in disarray...

I'm sure my kids would beg to differ, since I am the meanest mom in the world!

At least you are getting that water intake up! You will be at 100oz before you know it!
