Whew!

A week ago I would have written about being busy and just not having the time/energy to write.

This week, I laugh at last week (hahahahahaha!) and remember fondly how easy I had it.

Because last week, I had a functioning shower.  My car wasn't grinding brakes. I went to work at a place I like. I was healthy. 

This week, my bathroom has been gutted and refurbished.  My car is out of commission with bad brakes. I was selected to serve on a jury.  AND I have a cold.  I'm tired just typing that.

I cannot wait to write a blog or two about my jury experiences.  Right now, it's mums the word but when I 'm able to talk about the trial freely, you know I will.

It's been a strange experience though.  It feels very surreal...like I'm not living my life - I'm just living in a crazy alternate universe where I either sit on a wooden chair around a table or I sit on a wooden chair in a court room.  One minute I was planning the rest of my day on the off chance I would be released early from the jury summons and the next I am sitting and hearing testimony and eatting really, really bad court food.  (Seriously, REALLY bad).

Your life completely changes as you have to re-arrange everything about you...Your job, Your family, Your sanity.

I've been itching to write something here since things got started on Monday but this will have to suffice for now. 

I know I've missed sharing my past 2 weigh ins.  So the results are......

October 13th =  -2lbs
October 20th = -0.8lbs

I'm not sure if I when I will weigh in next.  Although I have been going into work early before court the last couple of days, I will not be doing so tomorrow - my regular weigh in day.  I will try to find some time in the next few days to run into my local WW for a quick weigh in.  Not feeling too confident this week. 

Kinda Fun! I'm a Featured Blogger

Hey there you!

I'm a featured blogger at a new website called Mommy Page.  Check me out and the site here Mommy Page Interview.

I chose the picture shown because it got a fair amount of "likes" on Facebook.  Facebook I still believe is the destroyer of relationships but at least lets me know what pictures I look decent in.

Maybe I will get some new readers - if so WELCOME!  Please post a comment and introduce yourself!!

Looking at my last several posts, it seems like all I'm talking about is weight loss so I need to jazz things up a bit.  In fact, I am working on one right now all about the trials and tribulations of an ongoing battle with a certain body part.  Stay tuned!

Weekly Weigh In - And the Scale Goes Up

I fell off the wagon starting right after last week's weigh in. 

It started with this big chocolate and caramel cookie that is sold at work.  I had not had one since starting WW in May and I finally decided to indulge my craving.  I'm the type of girl who can't just eat half a giant cookie and save the other half.  I try but that baby is gone in no time flat.  And you know what? It was good...but not that good.  I won't be needing another one for some time.

Then the weekend came and I set forth to cheer up a friend so we went to a movie (The Debt - very good) and ate popcorn.  Then fries and a milk shake at Steak n Shake. Sidebar: Steak n Shake has my absolute favorite milkshakes.  So thick and yummy.  Second is Potbelly's. Are you a milk shake lover like me?

The week pretty much went down hill from there.  I kinda gave up - if I didn't track, I wouldn't see how badly I was doing.  I got cocky.  Hey, if I could have tapas and sangria and still lose, I can just eat anything I want, right? Worse though, I stopped caring. I ate....a lot. 

Before weighing in, I knew I would be up, I just didn't know how badly.  My home scale is typically about 2lbs heavier than the WW scale but sometimes it surprises me.  Up 0.8 lbs which isn't bad but definitely not the direction I need to be going.

That + though is exactly the motivation I need to get my behind back into gear.  I will track, I will be accountable, I will care, I will lose.
