HomeUgh. I crashed over the weekend, which means cheating. I binged on spelt bread and margerine Saturday and Sunday night, had some dried mango slices, 2 servings of frozen yogurt at the movies, and then had about 10 potato wedges. I feel pretty sad about it all. I don’t know what happened. I was doing so well and being so strong. I was looking for a quote Tricia wrote a while back, but I couldn’t find it. Something like if yesterday was bad, then the steps today count to go forward. I’ll keep trying to find it. I have to move on and not focus on my screw up. Tonight I am going to do the 30 day shred Level 2. I have been thinking about running a lot-believe it or not. I “<gasp> miss it. I may be a wimp, but I don’t want to run in the cold. I found it tough last time, but I feel I want to start again. The reason I stopped was the time change, and running alone in the group in the dark. That scared me. Maybe I’ll check out when the next Learn to Run starts.
I didn’t meet my goal this week of 192.9. I was 194.8 this morning. I was down a pound yesterday but had a bad night last night. Ate a bunch of toast with margerine. I was on a good streak for about 2 weeks. Anyway, put it behind me and start again this morning. I was allowing myself a treat today: a builder bar. I probably shouldn’t still, but I probably will. Scary though. This makes it even harder to get to my next Sunday goal of 190. I have to think of my dress.
This weekend has been pretty good so far. Started on Friday when we went rock climbing with work. It was pretty good. Fun actually. I went up about 5 times, and only once did I almost get to the top. My arms just couldn’t life me anymore. It’s funny-had I been 282 pounds still, I would of opted out of climbing. I would of been too embarrased. So, it’s good we did it with work, because I probably wouldn’t of tried it alone. I thought I would of been much more sore the next day, but I wasn’t.
Yesterday we did some wedding stuff. We got Marc’s wedding band and registered at a local department store. It was fun. Something cool is you can add stuff to your registry a year after your wedding date, and when you buy it yourself, you get a discount. So that will be great when we move into the new house. We would love some contemporary sofas: living room/family room, washer/dryer, flat screen tv, and I’m sure some other furniture. That will be beneficial.
So that’s about it. Superbowl today. I don’t care. LOL. I may go see Avatar again in 3d. But for now, back to bed!
I’m really looking forward to moving into our new townhouse, approx 1 year from now. It will be so nice to have some extra room, and 3 bathrooms! That said, we can hardly keep up with cleaning a 1 bed/1 bath apt, we will definately need to step it up. Most of the time, it’s just laziness. I’ve started reading some home blogs as well daydreaming about decor, and upgrades. We get 5000$ free in upgrades, so deciding what is worth it now, and what we can do later for cheaper. I think we’re going to spend most of the money on hardwood flooring in the main floor, and upgraded carpet upstairs. We will probably research home security systems, I’ve always wanted one because I’m a wimp. I’m always nervous. So lots to think about and a lot to save for. When Marc starts working again, then we can start saving again. We’re trying hard to have a budget wedding. $8500-$9000 is where I’m estimating things at. Wow, that’s a lot of money especially when you write it out! 9000$ would go really far in our new house. But everyone one goes through weddings and home buying, so we’ll make it!
Well, I met my goal for Sunday-to be 194.9! And this morning I was down another pound. Pretty happy about that. The 180’s are around the corner! Last night we went to see Avatar, which was really great btw, but I was with 3 other people, and there was popcorn, chocolate, fries and pizza, and with me, 2 clementines and some tea. Yippee. I was pissed that I couldn’t eat too. I love nothing more than being at the movies with food in my hand. But-it wasn’t an option yesterday. Some days it is, but not yesterday. Thankfully the 3d aspect of the money was so good, I hardly noticed the food after that. But it still makes me kinda sad.
So my SIL Heather loaned me her Turbo Jam. I did it today. Just a short little workout, kinda an introductory lesson. It was ok. The moves are kinda fast. I lost track a few times. I think I just hate exercise. LOL But I have to do it.
I had a pretty good weekend. Quiet. I rested all day Saturday and most of the day Sunday. We took Gunther for a nail clipping, and located a few spring plungers Marc needs for something, so we crossed a few things off the to-do list.
Oh yeah, we’re going indoor rock climbing with work Friday. Yah. I’m scared.
It is sooooo cold outside. I don’t even want to go out there! I wanted to stay in bed this morning, but of course Gunther didn’t, so here I am up.
I got paid yesterday and am looking over my bills. My credit card is 185$ over limit, so I am trying to figure out how I can pay that off and not incur more debt on it. I think it may be time for me to put it in a baggie and freeze it in water. I have heard of people doing that. Marc and I were trying to figure out how to cut costs since he still is not working. He has an iphone, and for us to cancel his data plan, it will cost a penalty fee of 100$. I hate cell phone companies. They always screw you. I looked at our cable. We have the lowest digital cable plan, and a few channels which is only 7$ more. Hardly seems worth it. There is a lot we could do, I guess, but am I willing to? I want my cable, and I want my iphone. I guess it depends how long he is out of work… I don’t know. So stressful, and trying to plan a budget wedding on even less money than before. Ugh.
I have Kathy. That money could pay my cable bill every month, but I can not get rid of her. I don’t want to. I need her to get to my goal. I was thinking of getting a Refrigerator water filter so I stop buying bottled water. That would sure save some money.
It sucks to be an adult. LOL
