Weekend Recap

Not too exciting this weekend, but here is a recap for those who are interested:

Weigh in: Somehow managed to drop those 3 pounds and ended up exactly where I was last week. I will take that.

Saturday morning: Went to do my friends hair for her. Got wasted by 10am. Her hair still turned out cute.

Saturday night: Went to a minor legue ball game with hubby. Night started out rotten, ended up just ok.

Sunday: Went to see my neice in her church pagent. She kept her back to the audience the whole time but still was adorable.

Sunday afternoon: Slept. There is nothing better then a nap!

There you have it folks, a recap of the boring life of me.

I am gonna throw it out the window!

I hate my fucking scale. Don't tell me I gained 3 pounds this week when I ate 1800 calories or less each day and worked out 5 fucking days! That is a scientific improbability you asshole!

Ok now that I got my frustration out, yes, I am up 3 pounds and ate very good this week. Worked out like a demon, drank all my water, all that stuff. **Sigh** Why can't I just be naturually skinny?

Am I losing my mind?

I did a post like 10 min ago about water aerobics and now it is missing. Am I losing my mind or will it show back up?

Summary, I did it, it was good, will do it again.

Down 24.8 pounds.

Thats it...keep your fingers crossed that this one doesn't disappear.

Water Aerobics

Last night I did something I haven't done in a long time...water aerobics. I used to do it all the time because my friend taught it. But I found our local park has it now, and I gave it a shot. It was fun...hard but fun. I used muscles that I don't use when I do my treadmill workout. Too bad I found out when there is only 3 weeks left of it. So for the next three weeks on Tues and Thurs you can find me at the park pool.

Weight update, I am now at 24.8 pounds lost. Not so bad considering 2 really bad weekends this month. Feeling pretty good about it. Still pissed at myself for letting that weight get back on in the first place...but glad it is going in the right direction.

Weight loss, is it worth it?

Always looking for helpful ideas on losing weight I was doing some research on the new diet pill alli when I ran across this blog posting. Made me snort laughing, enjoy.

Houseguests

This weekend my hubby's college roommate and his wife came to stay with us. They are huge Nascar fans and wanted to go see the race in Joliet. So we said, come and stay with us. Oh what a mistake that was.

First of all, let me explain. We are still living in our "starter house". This house has only 1 full bathroom. Four adults needing to get ready in the morning in 1 bathroom is pure insanity! We only get by without guests because I use the guest room as "dressing room"...meaning I do my hair and makeup in there. So here I have been, trying to do it all in my bedroom with a sleeping husband...ugh.

Second, our friends wife has numerous food allergies. So me being the hostess with the mostess was having a major internal struggle with the fact that I could not cook meals for her...or even shop ahead of time. She is allergic to dairy, soy and wheat. So what can she eat? Lettuce...thats about it! I felt bad that I couldn't get up and cook nice breakfasts or anything like that because I did not know what her exact allergies were before hand to stock up. So instead we ate every meal out. Now I love eating out, but it left me 5 pounds heavier! I am sure some of that is water and I will lose it quickly but damn it pisses me off.

Lastly, neither my husband nor I are Nascar fans and did not know what to expect for the race. As a kid, my family was into Indy car racing, and I liked it well enough, but from what I knew, Nascar was a whole other culture. Boy was I right.

Let me begin by saying that I have never walked so much in my life, nor have I ever seen so many drunk people in one place. That being said, for me it wasn't a bad time. I like the whole "if you aint rubbing you aint racing" mentality. However for my husband it was shear torture. He hated every second of it. Finally left at about lap 40 of the race to "get out of the sun". I found him a hundred laps later sitting by the beer stand. I think if anyone ever asked him to go to a Nascar race again he would tell them to go to hell.

So needless to say hubby's nerves were shot by the end of Sunday. Mine were shot as well from trying to be the perky hostess for 4 days. I have never been as happy to go to work as I was yesterday. They were still here but I said I couldn't' get the day off and left them with hubby to do lord knows what. They should be on their way to the airport now...thank god! Nice enough people, but spending that much time with anyone and having to adjust my life to accommodate them for 5 days is enough to make me drink. Oh wait, I like drinking....How about, it is enough to make me excersise!

I have 2 months to psyche myself up for a visit from my mother in law. Oh joy. Maybe I will have to "work" again!

Fabulous Vacation

Just got back from a fabulous vacation to Disney with my brother and his family. It was hotter then snot there, but we had such a good time. My adorable neice was super duper adorable as well. Best vacation in some time. We are already planning a trip back!
