This weekend I've been trying to get my "mojo" back. It hasn't been easy and it isn't happening quickly, but it is happening. Isn't there a saying "slow and steady wins the race"? Well, I'm hopeful that it will happen for me.
A few things happened this past week that I didn't blog about, so let me catch up now. Thursday night I did dinner with my two former co-workers. I had a blast. I just wish we did it more often!! But as usual life seems to always gets in the way. Of course we went to our favorite chips & salsa place! The chips & salsa must have been pretty yummy because I think we ate two baskets full! What I ordered for my meal was okay...I think it was a little too done though. But I wasn't there for the meal, I was there to catch up with my friends and to eat chips & salsa! That is all that matter. My friends looked great! They were funny as hell~~like always! I haven't laughed that much in a while! OMG...and Dani's hair has gotten so darn long! I think I forgot to tell her that!
Friday my boss returned to work, thank God! I ended up busting my ass again though. I think I'm going to have to keep up on that trend for a while. I've got some massive piles on my desk that accumulated in the last week or two. Oh well, at least it makes the days go by fast. And it isn't so hard, especially if I can get my personal life back in order! Then I went and saw my guy and had a wonderful visit. But I did not go grocery shopping. It was just too damn hot and I was just damn tired. Of course I didn't go to bed until 3am that night, but whatever!
Saturday I got up, got ready and drove to the dealer for my oil change. I pulled up to the big doors and honked for it to open. Nothing happened. Ugh. So I got out of my car, went up to the door and was met with a "We Are Closed Today For Our Annual [Fundraiser]!" Well crap. Guess I'll move that to Monday before my appointment with the Specialist. Okay...no problem. I had another problem to deal with...my crackberry was inoperable. The trackball wouldn't scroll down. Off to Verizon I went...One hour later I walked out with a new crackberry.
By now it was afternoon, so I picked up the munchkin and my aunt and off we went to do some school shopping. This has lost some umph now that he wears uniforms. While we were shopping at Old Navy I started to feel shaky. That morning I had a bowl of cereal and we were planning on grabbing a late lunch/early dinner. I didn't think anything about it. I thought I would be fine. I was actually a little shocked that it appeared my blood sugar was getting too low. Good thing we were pretty done there, so the munchkin and I went and got the car while my aunt checked out for us. When we left there we swung into McDonald's so I could get something to eat to settle my blood sugars. A cheeseburger in the car did the trick. Then off we went to Stride Rite for shoes! Afterwards we went out for Chips & Salsa.
After dinner we headed to Toys 'R Us and then onward to home. I dropped the munchkin & my aunt off at her house. Once I was home I realized that my new crackberry was missing a few things...like a browser for the internet. With only 15 minutes before Verizon closed I hopped in the car. Forty-five minutes later I left Verizon with a fully working crackberry. Back home I came.
Today...I have no idea how this happened. I was totally ready to face the music this morning when I woke up. I busted out the scale ready to see a double-digit gain. I got my butt up on the scale and didn't believe it when the number came up, so I got off, reset the scale and got on it again. Same number. Well...I'll take it! Who am I to laugh in the face of a weight loss?! Today's stats:
Starting weight (7/8/09): 363lbs
Current weight: 321lbs
This week's results: -2lbs
Total weight lost: -42lbs
Tonight I knew I needed to keep making progress so I decided I better take a shower...it was 6pm for goodness sake...and go grocery shopping. I did decide that I don't enjoy shopping on Sundays and I need to keep my regular Friday night schedule so this doesn't happen again! But to make up for having to go grocery shopping tonight I ordered take out from my local chips & salsa place. I didn't end up having chips & salsa, but I did end up getting the best appetizer there...white melted mexican cheese, onions, peppers & shrimp. Yummy!! I also picked up shrimp fajitas, but was too full to eat any, so those are in the fridge for tomorrow.
Just getting started: 5, 11, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26
Needs attention: 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24
Wow, what a weekend! You've just made me hungry for chips and salsa and mexican food! Which isn't hard to do as it's my fave!
