10 July 2014

3 days going strong. Good protein to carb/fat ratio... not bad at least because the carbs are all fruit and veggies. Water intake is awesome but that's easy to do when I am soooo thirsty all the time. Keeping food intake down is more of a struggle because I am constantly hungry. My lunch box (the size of a small cooler) has been packed to the brim the last few days but it has gotten me home without putting anything extra in my mouth. Last night I got home, cooked dinner and cleaned the kitchen. When I was done with the kitchen I was exhausted but when I looked at the clock it was 5:45!!! I was in bed before 6:15 and asleep by 7. I almost felt refreshed when I woke up at 4am for work. However it is now 9:35 and I am ready for a nap.

I wish things weren't so busy at work. I miss the days when I had time to breathe during the day. Now it's "go go go". My boss will be up sh*t creek without me here so she better figure out a way to get our director to approve another person to try and fill the gap. I'm going to sound conceited here but she's going to need two people to do what I do... but I have been here 10 years, doing the same job for 8.5 and it DID take 2 people to do my job when I was on maternity leave with my daughter. I can do this stuff in my sleep.

Anyways, have a good Friday Eve, everyone. I am already dreaming of all the sleeping I will do this weekend.

Aaaaand it's been another month since I spilled my guts... and it's been a bad month. Filled with drinking and bad eating and no exercise. I am up about 10 pounds from what my weight says currently which is absolutely the heaviest I have been except when I was pregnant with my daughter. With the hubby and I attempting to have a baby, I swore I was going to drop some weight, get back into shape before I got pregnant so that I wouldn't be miserable the whole pregnancy... Well I failed. I got my BFP yesterday, very quick changing and very bright. I am thinking I am roughly 8 weeks along but I won't know for sure until the OB calls to get me in for an ultrasound... who knows how long that could be. Now it's crunch time. I am watching what I eat more than ever. I know I have a hard time digesting grains so those are gone from my diet now (for the most part), only fruits and veggies for carbs. I am hoping that I can maintain a normal weight while growing this little berry. I will do everything I can to not gain 60 pounds like I did last time. Hopefully you will be seeing more of me on here from now on.

Good evening everyone!

Spending a little time this evening catching up on work. It has been a busy weekend and I don't feel like I got a whole lot of things done that I wanted to do. I went to bed at about 10:30 Friday night, after an awesome dinner of garlic pepper pork ribs and sautéed asparagus. I slept better that night than I have in weeks. I didn't even wake up when hubs came to bed. Woke up at 6:45 (not planned but I was awake) and finally got up and moving about 7:30. Car was dropped off at 9am. Hubbs and I went to Denio's, the local swap meet/farmers market and roamed that. I got so many yummy things: Apricots, peaches, rainier cherries, bananas, etc. Then we did all of our regular weekly grocery shopping. I love that little by little I am switching all of our eats to no additives, preservatives, chemicals, hormones, etc. By the time I got home at 2 I was exhausted. I couldn't bring myself to do anything else... no cleaning the kitchen, folding laundry, nothing but laying down. I had to drag myself out of bed to take the little one to the birthday party she was going to. She had a blast... the hubby and I on the other hand, not so much. These parents are so snobby. The only one that even spoke to me was the mother of the birthday girl, who thought we were friends of the mother of the birthday boys, when I met her in person on Thursday night. I was glad to get out of there. We scrapped our planned steak dinner for quick and easy. I made tuna salad and the hubby made a pizza... he's not quite back on the bandwagon yet. As I was laying in bed last night our wonderful (psycho) cat got spooked and decided to use my chest as a springboard so I have 8 claw marks in my chest. Then at 5:40am she jumped off my dresser right onto my head and now I have 3 large, nasty scratches on my face. Good news is that I woke up early this morning and was very productive. I didn't spend as much time working as I had hoped I would but my house is almost clean, we spent some time at the pool and I spent as much of that time treading water and other "semi exercises" as possible. Tonight's dinner was last nights scrapped steak and I tried to make panko crusted fried tomatoes but I need to work on the spices because they were rather bland. All in all I feel ready for the week ahead. Hopefully I sleep well tonight. Baring all interferences from kitty.

Good night all. Have a great week.

Good morning and happy Friday, buddies!!! Today is a good day so far. Scale has gone down 6 lbs (at least) in the last week or so. I am very close to being back to what is recorded here. Last night was open house for my baby girl. 2 hours of science fair, class tour, watching other classes perform and spending time with my ex, his soon to be wife and their baby. Oh fun! We get along for the most part so it wasn't too bad and it was for Rylee and she loved spending time with all of us. After that, we went to our local Black Bear Diner for dinner. It was about 7 and I had nothing thawed for dinner. Had an amazing cheeseburger salad. Sounded funny but I was brave and it was great. Definitely calmed my urges for a cheeseburger. Got on the scale this morning and was down another 2 pounds, which makes me even happier. I did manage to pack up a very healthy breakfast and lunch for myself and promptly left it sitting on my counter :( So I stopped and picked up something comparable. This weekend will be spent working, laying by the pool and working on my tan and maybe fishing... after I take care of the household errands like new brakes on my car and grocery shopping. I plan to hopefully drag my butt to the gym too but it closes early on the weekends so.... Ugh see another excuse. Ok well I hope everyone has a great day, I am off to modify my food log with my new eats for the day!

Someone glue me to a treadmill, please! I have hit an all time high, unless you count during the later months of my pregnancy with Rylee. The scale hit 190 :( I am back down a few pounds yesterday according to the doctors scale and a few more this morning according to mine.

I have been travelling a LOT and cheating on my GF diet (which has it's own separate ramifications) and I swear the servers at my local Chevy's probably know my name. UGH NO WILLPOWER!!! I need to get this figured out. I have had all my tests done, including thyroid, which is fine. The only other things to be tested are my female hormones which the doctor won't do as of yet. I have officially gone off my BC in an attempt to get pregnant so if I start having issues in that area, she will likely test them. I haven't been to the gym in months unless you count going in there to pay my bill. I have been working a lot (not including the full weeks of travel) and we have just been so busy. I cannot wait until next week. The 5th is the last day of school for Rylee. At that point she will be splitting time with me and her dad, spending time at grandma's during the day, during my weeks. That will allow me to get into work earlier and off in time to go to the gym versus working late, dinner, homework and bed. Then we will only have swim lessons and maybe gymnastics.

I have been sleeping like CRAP lately. Last night, I went to be at a little after 8, TV off, and just laid there until after 10. I don't know if this is also a result of the gluten being reintroduced to my diet. My hair is dry, brittle and cracking again and I have started getting nasty bruises again when the injury isn't even enough to register on my pain scale. It's strange having huge BLACK bruises and have no idea how they got there. I think I am going to cut out all grain again... sad face. But if it's what I have to do to lose a little weight and motivate me to get back in the gym... I guess that's what I have to do. I am terrified that I will end up being 250 lbs and miserable with my next pregnancy. I gained 60 lbs with Rylee (220 when I checked in to deliver) and was in constant pain from my sciatica and stretching ligaments. I need to be in a place that I can continue to exercise throughout. I am severely jealous of two of my friends, one who has had 2 kids in less than 3 years and looks great after 9 months the other who the birth of her first took her back to her pre-pregnancy weight - and I'm not even pregnant yet!!!

I have been a little more careful the last few days and hopefully I will be able to keep it up. I don't like this insomnia thing: can't fall asleep, awake at 3, then miserable at 4:30 or 5 when I actually have to get up.

Cross your fingers for me guys... I can use all the help I can get. Have a good day everyone!!!
