LOL!!!! My title sounds like a bad B movie!!! Well the Monday after Easter has come and gone. Easter was good except for the fact that I ate some real sugar in the form of a piece of chocolate cake with ice cream, and had 3 cookies, all before 10 am!!!! Oh did my tummy feel it!! I felt so yucky!!! We didn't eat dinner until almost 4pm. Then we had Taco Bell and that didn't sit well either!! So, I guess it's back to eating the right way!!! It is getting harder and harder to eat fast food, which is a good thing, but it makes it hard to grab something quick. But that's ok, because I am losing weight and feeling good!!!
So yesterday, it took me almost half and hour to talk myself into going to the gym. I hadn't gone in three days and I knew I had to get back. Especially after Easter!!! After I drug myself out of bed, I had to eat some form of protein so I could do my strength training. I didn't have time to drink a protein shake, and I didn't want a cup of fluid in my stomach while I was on the treadmill. I opted for some thin sliced chicken lunchmeat. I either ate it too fast or didn't chew it up good enough because I only got through about three slices and was done!!!! So off to the gym I went. Oh, I didn't want to leave the house. After really dragging my feet, I arrived at the gym around 4:05am. I climbed up the stairs, would have loved to take the elevator but didn't, and headed towards the dreaded scale. I was almost afraid to look!!! But I have to know how much so I can program the treadmill. I was pleasantly surprised when the scale read that I had LOST three pounds!!!! Wholly cow!!!!! That means that I am only seven pounds away from 100 pounds lost!!!! I was instantly energized. Well at least for a minute. I started the treadmill....my feet felt like lead weights. Every step seemed to just drag on and on. It took me a good fifteen minutes again before I had hit my stride and the time sort of flew after that. The only problem is now that I have to start kicking up the speed. I am having a hard time getting my heart rate up again. Darn it!!! I know, no pain, no gain. Sheeze, who ever thought that statement up needs to be slapped!!!! LOL
I got through the workout, didn't do any strength training, I was running out of time. Got home, and got Jim off to work. When I came back home, it felt sooo good to get in the shower!!! Oh I could have stayed in there for hours. Sigh.....Shadow convinced me to go lay down for a minute in bed with her and the next thing I know, we have fallen asleep for an hour!!!! But hey, we all need some cuddle time with our pets/kids right!!! I thought so!!! LOL. I got a call from a friend of mine who is still in England. Wow he's been there for a month now!!! Anyway, it was nice to hear from him and of course he showered me with well wishes and happy thoughts. He sent some prayers my way for the job fair today. We talked for just a few minutes, then I had to go. I had to go take mom to her physical therapy again.
The gentleman that does mom's physical therapy is a kick in the pants!!! He is sooo funny. Mom bought him a chocolate bunny last week for Easter and he was thrilled. We got talking about how mom and Kelly were eating gummy bears in front of me and he said that he would work mom extra hard for me to make up for it!!! LOL. So yesterday, I brought him some gummy coke bottles. He had mentioned that he really liked them, so I thought I would return the favor for putting mom through the paces. I know I'm evil, but hey turn around is fair play right?!?!?! LOL. We spent the whole half hour joking and laughing while mom had to do her physical therapy. It was a fun morning!!!
After mom's appointment, they were dying to go to the dollar store. Hours later....not really just seems like that. Mom and Kelly were hungry, and I had brought some coupons to go out to eat. Well they decided they wanted Carl's Jr.s. Well that would have been fine but we got there at 1pm and it was packed!!!! So I took them to Jimboys instead. I ordered two chicken tacos. I ate three quarters of one taco, lost about a quarter of it and was done!!! The other taco went home for Jim!! Once again, fast food is not my friend. You would think I'd learn or something huh!!! I finally took mom and Kelly home then off to meet Jim at work. I had bought Jeffrey and Sann some onion garlic cashews and wanted to make sure they got them. Oh Jim is going to kill me. He hates the smell of those things!!! Muwahahahaha!!!!! Did I mention, I think I'm evil!!!!
I got some much needed support from Jeffrey about todays job fair, as Jim relaxed with a beer. What more could you want out of life? We headed home.
