Semi-Busy Day Ends With Shopping

Today I was partially busy but had some time to finish cleaning a mucky mess out of the bottom of my last remaining storage unit. Which I have reserved for a women who is coming to fill out the paper work at 3:30 PM tmw.

198.4 so a total of 8 pounds in about 3 weeks I think. However, in my journal there is no May 1,2,3,4 like I wasn't dieting. Not too hot on losing the weight. I know 2 pounds a week is great blah blah blah but its pretty hard to stay motivated when you look like a beached whale and it's taking too long to come off.

Still under what I would have to still lose but with more exercise needed and 23 points in the right count on the WW points. So who the hell knows.

I need to get in the shower and get more sleep than yesterday.

Just checking in....

First get the food crap out of the way....

Wow that totally sucks. A little heavy on the day.

Dan cut the grass...I ran the weed eater around the yard and also the leaf blower to clean off all the sidewalks. I also got 60 Gladiola bulbs in the ground too. That was the last of the planting that I had. I already got all my seeds planted in the garden last week and the week before that was all the plants.

Tonight I picked up some movies for us to watch. The Golden Compass, The Bee Movie and Stephen Kings Mist. I plan to pretty much veg out in front of the tv tonight.

Weird how just one bunch of pretzels can put on 220 calories to the day. I should have chosen some veggies or something instead of those pretzel sticks.

Well I am out of here. I think that Elise is biting at the bit to get her movies started. Ill check in again later.

Late in the day and finally logging in......

Had a nice evening. Its been quiet around the house, as Elise is at her sleep over for her Birthday at her dads house (and yes one little girl was able to come over and stay with night) She was apparently having a good time. She will be back sometime on Saturday. India is going to be coming home around midnight. I'll go over and pick India up when she is done at her friends house.

I had today...
Progresso 2 120
Pudding 2 60
Turkey Breast 4 210
Apple Sauce 1 50
Granola Bar 2 110
Grilled Chicken 5.5 249.7
16.5 799.7

I looked up the Grilled Chicken Salad and I am not 100% sure on the numbers but the numbers are so low today it would be fine if they are off a little. I have plenty of room to play today.

I think it will be a pretty good weekend food wise. No big eating social occasions and I am thinking that I am getting really close to 10 pounds thus far. :)

Oh I also got some beautiful flowers today from Kristen for Mothers Day. The card simply said "I love you- Kristen"

Later that day......

Rained off and on the entire day. Not sure what tmw will be like. I know I am not going to have water for a while.

Todays food was
Progresso Soup 2 120

Broccoli and Cheddar 4 220
Apple Sauce 1 50
Peas 5 280
2 Dogs 4 214

I was trying to watch The Office and I had to turn it up to watch really loud because the girls were being so LOUD! Just now a commercial came on and it nearly blasted me out of the room :) Yikes.

Its kinda ironic that they have Scrubs and ER on on the same night. I have to run Christina home soon (one of my daughters friends) but The Office is on. I was just watching my dog, the Rottwieller (can't spell it close enough for the stupid computer dictionary to recognize it) watching tv. She seems to like the commercials better than the actual program.

Apparently, we are going to Springhill Wholesale so that our friend Scott can make us some shirts for Dayton. We are getting our calls and our calls and names on them.

Elise's Birthday

I got home last night and took Elise out shopping after running India to an errand. Thus the Subway for dinner. Elise was able to get everything she had wanted for her Birthday. :) I have been doing okay on money recently especially with there being such a huge credit on my gas bill. The credit is from way back when I it was shut off (during my married and trying to make ends meet with yet another person in the house)over $500.00 had to be paid in order to get it turned back on. Now part of that went as a credit on the account and I have not had to pay a gas bill for two months. I am half tempted to send something anyway so it can keep the credit going for next winter when all hell will break lose on the gas prices. It might cost so much that no one will be able to even heat their homes by next year. I unfortunately have to keep my heat way down already and it's pretty high some months.

I has continued to rain as I thought it might and the gardens and planters are not going to be needing watered for a couple of days. However, the sun coming out sometime soon to help the plants actually grow would be nice. :)

Elise is to go to her dads house over the weekend for a sleep over, well technically to the girlfriends house, and I hope that some of the little girls are actually able to attend. I am sure that if for some reason they can't make it, I will somehow get the blame for this through some conspiracy plot.

It's raining again......

I won't have to water the plants probably tmw either as it looks like the line of rain storms coming through is going to last perhaps even into tmw. Can't really tell yet.

Went to Subway tonight while I was getting a few things for Elise's Birthday. I found some chips there that were even better than the baked Lays. Soooo.....

Another very good day on the calorie front. I can't remember off the top of my head ...but I believe that the My Pyramid Gov site had me at like 2000 calories if you exercise 30 to 60 minutes a day and 1800 if you lay around on your ass all day. So I figure at the rate I am going I should be able to lose at least a little every week. I will have to be super careful when I try to do maintainence and switch to anything but starving myself.

So far so good.

Not a real busy day yet. No food temptations. My friend Roy came over and we talked and talked. After work I plan to take India out for a moment to run an errand and then back home to take Elise and India over to Wal-mart. We are going Birthday shopping for Elise. She has a big day planned at her Dads girlfriends house for her birthday. I will as always send juice and cupcakes to her school to celebrate her birthday and we will have cake and ice cream at home as well. She has several items in mind that she would like for her birthday and hopefully they will be in stock tonight when we go out.

Other than working....not much has taken place yet today. I have had two customers that were supposed to come in and settle up their debts and move out but as of yet...nothing heard from either one.

Alrighty then....

I did rather well on the food and on top of everything I wasn't a bit hungry.
Preogresso 2 120
Pudding 2 60
Teriyaki Chicken 4 230
Peas 4 280
( I didn't eat all the peas but I am too lazy to measure out the peas I didn't eat)
Dogs w/bread 4 214
16 904

Not bad at all. If I could keep that up all the time, man I would be down to nothing in no time. I wish that there was some kind of pill that could totally kill your appetite and you never get hungry again. :) It would be so cool if you had to actually remind yourself to eat occasionally.

I stopped off and tanned on the way home, took Elise to family night at the book fair at her school, fixed dinner when I got back, washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen and then went out to the garage and painted all the trim that goes in the girls room. While I was cooking dinner out on the grill, I watered the flower garden and the garden/garden.

Tomorrow should be another busy day and at work I have had a ton of units rented out. I think I only have 3 units left. It would be really super cool if I rented those out before the end of the week.

Okay I missed a day or two.

My schedule has been uber busy! I kinda messed up on the diet on Saturday evening for dinner when brauts were cooked and pizza and bread sticks brought in...however, I still lost weight for the week. I just need to not do that because thats not always the case.
A total of 1120 calories and 23 points for Monday. I am in a tiny bit of a hurry so I am not going to take the time to write everything out but there you have it. Dinner was with a guest over and I probably shouldn't have had any chips and found a veggie instead. :) But still under on points/calories so I won't beat myself up over it. 6.8 pounds thus far with yesterday being the one week mark.

I had a medical emergency with my middle daughter. She is the only one that does not have insurance. She was taken to the hospital Saturday night and is doing fine now. However, I have no idea how this is going to turn out. The important thing is that she is doing fine and all is well again for now.

We were out at Cory at the time all this happened and had to rush back to Terre Haute. At the time all our antenna's and radio equipment were everywhere. I believe every thing is back and accounted for. As it ended up getting slit up between three different people. Here are a few of us up and taking a break from the radios. The bands were in terrible shape earlier in the day and we worked for every contact we made!





I might check in again a little later to post todays menu or I might do it first thing tmw morning. Just have to see how busy my schedule is.

Wowser!

I can't believe how busy we got yesterday. At one point in time there were 8 contracts for new rentals sitting on my desk waiting to be keyed in. They came in so fast in such a short period of time that I couldn't get them keyed in until they all left. I had to just open the gate and leave it open for a bit so people could come and go until I got their numbers keyed in. It was hectic but fun at the same time. I know I am nuts but I find it a challenge to try to keep it all straight and get every bit of information and paperwork that I needed in a friendly effecient but fast manner. I have to say.... I think I did pretty good :)

Hmmm food for yesterday.....
Soup 2 120
Pudding 2 60
Oriental chicken 4 230
Apple Sauce 1 50
Chicken Portobello
sandwhich from Apple bees 7 360
Pudding 2 60
totals 16 880

I think I was too dang busy to worry about food. I ended up eating my Porobello chicken sandwich and fruit in the car on the way to the grocery store. During all of this the kids and Dan are with me at the store and eating snacks and crap in the car...and I was just fine with that. When I got home...I had a sugar free Pudding and that was good enough for me. :)

I have no idea if today is going to be as hectic or not....but if it is it will only make the day go faster. It's already 11:52 and this is the first chance I've had to sit at the computer for a moment and get yesterdays information keyed in. Good thing I'm keeping a log. I am now under 200 but I am not going to post the total again until Monday that way it will have been a week since the last one. :)
