I had such hopes for today.  I was going to do laundry, go to Target and/or Babies r’ us for a new stroller for the midget niece, organize my Nutrisystem food, go food shopping and join the gym.

I woke up at 7.   Not great, but still 2 hours later then if I was at work.
I woke up, went to call Nutrisystem to cancel my next order.  Woman answered.  I said, I want to cancel my next order.  She said, it’s due to ship on 2/17.  I said I know, but I didn’t want it delivered so I was cancelling it now while I remembered.   She couldn’t seem to grasp that concept. I explained, I only wanted to do one “round” of food.  I didn’t plan on re-ordering but instead of waiting until the last minute, I wanted to to it while I remembered.  (that’s 2x I told her that)   Again, she said, but it’s set for delivery on the 17th.  I understand, that’s 16 days from now,   a little over 2 weeks, but come on, I just want to cancel the next auto order….she then HUNG UP ON ME.   Yes,  she hung up on me.   Now, I am a bitch.  Don’t do things like that.   I will call back, and I did.  Another woman answered, I told her someone from there hung up on me and I needed to

1.   Confirm that my order was cancelled &

2.   Get her name and file a complaint.

Got a CS supervisor’s v/m.  Left a message.  Still waiting a c/b.

………..

Then got my stuff together to do laundry.   Decided I didn’t want to do it yet, so I went to Babies r us and Target, they are next to each other.
Babies R us opens at 9:30.  It was 9:25.  I went to Target.   Couldn’t find a stroller that I liked.   At either place.

Came home, did laundry.

Watched TV.

2:30 hits…went to pick up midget neice from Daycare.

Notice what didn’t get done.   Food shopping and gym.    If I don’t go home this weekend…I will join Saturday.    I just couldn’t do it.  I was sooooo tired.

I did organize the NS food though.   I pre-planned what they were going to send.   They sent a wrong food.   Not a lot, more like extras.   Whatever, I know it will get eaten.

So I got some stuff accomplished.  I have underwear again. That’s always good.

I am here, kind of. The last week or so has been bad mentally.

I had to go back on an antibiotic and cannot work out. My eating has been ok and I haven;t gained any weight. But things are very stressful here and I have a lot on my mind.

I need to get myself together and get back in the game. My pants are all too big and I don;t want them to be tight again. I look forward to reading the posts and feelin’ the love.

If any of you are not familiar with www.FitDay.com you might want to check it out, it’s totally free. I use it and it gives me a place to record my food (if I want), activities of all types, weight, goals and lots of other stuff. I’d love to get the fitday for your PC version, it’s supposed to have all kinds of bells and whistles besides what the online site does.

Anyway, I was over there today logging my weight after weighing in on my scale this morning and looking back over my journals and weight charts. I actually began my eating plan two weeks ago today. And according to my scale have lost 10 lbs since I started working on my plan.

When I think about how down I was last week because of my Weight Watchers weighin I could kick myself. I’m thinking that I need to move to the Saturday morning meeting. My weight (and anyone else’s for that matter) fluctuates too much throughout the day. I’d rather stick with a truer measure of my weight first thing in the morning BEFORE I eat breakfast. You know? Besides that, I’m thinking that maybe there won’t be so many skinny college girls at the morning meeting as there are at the night one. Those girls just make me even more self-conscious about how far I am from my goal.

Now, I didn’t join this site until a week ago yesterday, but since I joined this site that’s four additional pounds gone and 146 lbs 2 go.

I think I am going to enjoy my journey with the support of everyone here. The last time I had any significant success it was with the help of an online community of some really positive supportive ladies. Those ladies disappeared from that forum over the last couple of years and I haven’t been able to find a weightloss forum I could click with since (not that I’ve been looking THAT hard.) I’m glad I found you guys though.

I know I can do this. We can all reach our goals together.

I haven’t been doing all that great this week. I went slightly over my calories Sunday night and was doing great Monday night until I went to eat at O’Charley’s. I had an unexpected delay and ended up running errands to get things for our discipleship groups so I didn’t eat until late and didn’t have a snack on hand. By the time I got there to eat, I was starving and ate a cheese burger and a loaded baked potato. Blah! I felt horrible afterwards. I think my body was like, “What?!?!” LOL But my water inatake was top notch those days. Yesterday I was great on my calories but not so hot on my water. Of course I was sick so I didn’t get up until lunch which could explain why my intake on food and water was a little low.
Speaking of being sick, it has really messed up my exercising. I can’t breath at all through my nose. What’s worse is that when I start jumping around and bending over, I have drainage and get sick to my stomach. But on the upside, I have to lug my backpack all over campus on Mondays and Wednesdays. I just went a weighed it… it’s 19lbs. And I left out one book on accident. That’s gotta count for something, right? :winking:

I thought I’d follow Shelli’s lead and post a pic of myself. This was taken about a year ago and I’m probably 7-8 lbs heavier than I was then. :scare: Before I lose much more weight, I’m going to do what Leanne has been doing and take some (scary) before pics. I think it would be great to have a “visual record” of each month’s accomplishments.

Okay, girls, here is a picture of me. And, Leanne, if you could transfer it to my member page after today, I would like that and be appreciative.

I am the one in the cowboy hat. It was our last day of work and the doctor I worked for bought it for me. It is a genuine Garth Brooks Stetson! I love that hat but because I don’t want to ruin it, I don’t wear it very often. Besides it is really heavy and can give you a headache.:winking:
