Well it has only been 3 days since I last wrote, but seems like 10 days. Where have I been? Well…eating probably. I met with Kathy last week, and I feel I still wasn’t ready to jump back on track. I kept eating, and eating. Pizza, fries, ice cream, chocolate, cookies, a donut, pie, licorice, and I’m sure more. I really hope Kathy doesn’t read this.
So, today I actually have made it through 4 hours. Pretty proud of that 4 hours too. I do not know my weight. I weighed yesterday at noon, and was 202. I felt that it was teasing me. There’s no way I was 202. So anyway.
Saturday I went and got my blood type tested and something called live testing. I was a Type O, and she gave me some diet tips. Stuff to do, stuff not to do, as well as some diets that work with my blood type. I was able to see my blood cells and she said my liver was unhappy, I had a few parasites, and my immune system was also bad. I also admitted my diet coke habit. She thought the liver was the reason for that. So it was very interesting. I’m glad I went. She also said Type O responds best to vigorous exercise…great.
I feel pretty good today. More in control. Here’s praying to whoever is listening that it sticks.
It really sucks living on one income, as I’m sure a lot of people know. We’re not the only couple who have had to go through this. It just seems to be taking so long to find something. In the meantime, we are trying to save money, but we just don’t seem very good at it! I was over on Facebook and saw that my friend Trish over at Scalewhore got an insurance quote from Royal Bank and it will save her 800$ a year. That’s a major savings. I didn’t think my insurance was that bad, but maybe I should reassess. If I call in for a life insurance quote, car quote and home and content insurance quote, maybe we are paying too much. That would be great, if that is the case, but I don’t think I pay more than 2500$ a year. I will put it on my list to give a call next week.
Oh job fairy, please send us a job!
Not really sure what to write anymore. The truth works, I guess. I’m still struggling very much. I met with Kathy the other day and I brought up maintenance. We decided not to visit that route yet. I guess I thought about it because it is too hard to fight more. I would be sad not to lose more weight and to just be complacent. I feel it is just not over yet. But I am struggling every day it seems, and you know what we decided 70% of the problem is. My effort and laziness. I know it. I float around. I wake up, and don’t really know what I’m eating that day. I’m too lazy to make things. It’s so much easier to go out and buy a lunch. Mostly healthy when I’m in the mood. Sometimes not. My weight is the same that it was in January. That really sucks for someone on a weight loss program, don’t you think? But I can’t give up. She suggested of course getting out of the house more, going to an exercise class or something like that. I’m going to look into it. I may look into the Y which is pretty close to our new apt. I have to toughen up and stop cheating.
Wedding news: There may be some new dress shopping in the future. Quite a lofty goal buying a size 12 dress. What was I thinking? Ordered the favours and printed boxes to package them, started the invites, booked hair and makeup and transportation. I REALLY can’t believe I’m going to be officially married in 2.5 months. Woah. I hope to submit my wedding to some of the budget blogs I have been reading. A wedding on 9,000$ isn’t easy these days, that’s for sure, but challenging.
Ok, well I should get to work now. Bye!
I can’t believe it’s a new month today. March! According to my wedding dress plan, I should be weighing around 186 today. Oops. Nope. 186 + 10 pounds maybe. Don’t really care right now. My weekend was ok, although I have caught a bit of a cold. I thought it was pretty much gone, and then the cough started. Saturday was I was in bed most of the day and took 2 long naps with Gunther. Him and I crawled under my heated blanket with the window open a little bit. It was great! Sunday I had a bridal shower meeting for my friend and was feeling pretty good until my cold came back. Last night was rough, but this morning was better.
I need to get some exercise done. There has been NONE going on. hrmpf.
Tonight is the Bachelor! Excited. I do think he’s going to pick Vienna. I don’t really like either of them. Gia was my pick!
Olympics are done. It was good. Go Canada!
Ok, talk to ya later!
On the eve of the day I lost my dear mom, I wanted to share with you all a few pics of her when she was younger than I was. It’s been three years without her, and we all miss her so much. RIP mom. xoxo
Mother i miss you so much, your laugh, your smile, your touch.
You always brightened my days, with all the smiles you sent my way.
I need you as my angel,
to always be by my side.
I need you as my angel,
to always be by my side.
I need you near me,
to know that you are there.
Even though i can not see you,
I feel that you are near.
Please do not forget me mum,
for you are always in my heart,
My thoughts, my prayers.
I Love You
