Wow Aug 13th was my last post?!?!?! I should be whipped with a wet noodle. Hey there I go again talking about food. LOL. A lot of things have happened and then a lot of not so noteworthy things have happened since my last post.
Mom and Kelly finally got things together and off to Texas without to much of a hitch, I think. At least I haven't gotten too many phone calls starting with OMG I forgot to tell you, or we forgot this. So I think things are ok. Hee hee. They seem to be having a good time and I am sort of having some rest time.
I made it my goal so to speak that I would use these two weeks while mom and Kelly are gone to get back to me. Well it's not working too well. I have gone to my three days a week strength training so far (all of last week and then I went yesterday). This morning I went and got my cardio in at 4am so Jim could have the car.
If it wasn't for everyday life and money matters, I think things would be ok for the most part. We got hit with a disconnect notice on our electricity and didn't have the money to pay for it. I gathered up every bottle and can that we had and took them to the recyclers, and turned in every loose coin I could find. I was able to scrounge enough to make a deal, but I have to pay more attention to money matters now that the furlough cuts are hitting us harder. But I have been cooking almost every meal, we only ate out once and that was at Fresh Choice (a salad bar restaurant). So I guess I can't complain. Well I CAN complain but it won't do me any good.
I am watching my meals a little better and the weight is starting to come off. I joined a new app on Facebook to track my weight loss so my trainer can see what is going on too. Let's hope that this is going to be my reason for doing all this for me again. I know, every time you read this blog it's a new beginning, or a new start, or I'm trying again. But don't get me wrong, this is a tough thing to do. I try and make no excuses because I'm the one that did all of this to myself. The weight gain, through the surgery, and the "hopefully" new lifestyle afterwards.
So if you are doing this for yourself too, hang in there. One way or another I AM going to triumph over SOMETHING!!!!! LOL.
