OptomisticGirl Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Exactly. In the last 2 weeks I've done really good. I've still had slip ups but I don't let them bring me completely down, I just get back on the wagon the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Slowly! The scale isn't moving as much but I'm trying to not concentrate on that number and go by how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I have that same feelIng when it comes to bring alone. I'm already thinking of what I'm gonna eat at lunch with you on Saturday. That's obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think being introvert doesn't help, tbh. It'll be much easier when L is physically here riding my butt day in and day out. Plus I won't mind cooking. I love cooking when it's for a group of people but just myself? Not so much. hahah! I've been thinking the same thing actually.

annie24 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 ps - sometimes the Target i go to has lean cuisines on sales and clearances. Sometimes they are $2 a meal, sometimes even $1.44. Can't beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Lean Pockets are on sale now too at Walmart, like $1.40 something, my boss has been buying them like crazy. I'm still working on controlling my portion sizes - today has kind of been shoddy - but it's a forever work in progress. I'm watching money right now until the turn of the month so once the new month starts and I run to the grocery store it'll get better, right now I'm just making whatever I have in the cupboards until then. Right now my abs are killing me. Haven't hurt me all day but since I got home I've notcied they are sore from the pilates yesterday. Not all the time but when I go to use them - oh yeah. I'm about to break out the mat and do another workout. I painted today at work (so not in my job description, lol). We have this back area in my department (were they use to cremate people, actually) and everyone uses it to store their junk basically. We were in there fixing up some stuff and came accross these old lockers and pull carts. We had one of the guys move the lockers for us out into our area so we could start using them and we really needed some new pull carts. However these were horribly dirty and in need of a good paint job. So me and the supervisor went to matience and asked for a paint brush and we dug up some paint in the 'dead people room' as I've nick named the old cremate room and started painting the carts today. Hopefully we will finish those up tomorrow as well as cleaning out the lockers and I'm going to give them a fresh coat of blue paint! At one point in painting I knelt down and it wasn't until about two minutes later that I realized I was still knelt and wasn't having any balance or breathing problems - another small victory!

OptomisticGirl Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 60 minutes of pilates - feels pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I tried running tonight but made myself sick. Could barely go half of what I've been doing. Probably should've left the oreos alone earlier. Though I wasn't sure if it was that or if it was the Stromboli I made for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have you taken any nights off since you started? For some reason I got hiccups during the middle of my pilates so that was a bit weird. Hard to concentrate on breathing and moving limbs when I'm hiccuping every five seconds. I plowed through though. My abs are killing me though. I may stick with the arms and stretching ones tomorrow (20 minutes) and not do the abs or butt/thigh and give that area a rest for the day. I can feel is so much that even if I go to raise up in bed my abs clench. Oh, I'll text you the address to the resturant tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 My poor Munchkin! They had to take Tyler to the hospital today - he pulled my sister's straightener down right after she had used it and before she could grab it I guess he clamped it onto his foot. It was a 2nd degree burn and already blistering when she sent me a picture of it. It also caused me to realize that in a few short weeks he will be two - TWO!

Huntress0527 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ditto, red! I'm pretty far from everyone I believe. Sorry to hear about your nephew. That's gotta be hurting him pretty good. I so badly want to workout again I'm going crazy but I'm fearful. I'm not doing it until I see the doctor tomorrow and he gives me the green light.

OptomisticGirl Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 One day I'll make it to your area Sherry - or your always welcome to take a Southern trip. For a second degree burn Tyler was acting like nothing happened. After the doctor bandaged him up he was running around and his normal wild self - the resilience of children amazes me still sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks for mentioning your doctor, hunt. Reminded me to make an appointment! and...fail. To see my doctor, I have to phone at 8:30 am next Weds-Fri to get a rapid access appoint. I'm working during all of those times. Crud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Work first tomorrow and it is the last of a 10 day stretch. Woohooo! I finished painting up everything at work today - managed to paint my hair in the process, go figure. After work I came home and chatted with L, then went to my mom's to wash clothes. Tyler was there and as always, a complete doll. His foot isn't even phasing him, you can see it wrapped up in this picture: image removed And this picture just melts my heart. Until we have sons he's the little boy who has my heart completely. and even when we do have sons he'll still have his own special place in Aunt B's heart. image removed While I was watching Tyler mom asked me how I was on food. I told her I was eating whatever I had in the cabinets until the turn of the month. So behind my back while I was watching Tyler she went through her cupboards and freezer and ended up giving me literally about 3-4 grocery bags full of food. I had to stop her because she just kept putting stuff in there! While I was there I picked up the wedding dress from the failed Feb wedding, going to try to sell it here in town to help toward the massive car repair bill. Been meaning to for a while but just dragging my feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's so hot. F. I've lives in the South my whole life and it just keeps getting hotter and hotter. It got so hot yesterday in my mom's car that my iPhone went into emergency mode because it was too hot! I'm leaving work early by about 30 mins to run to Walmart. My only pair of flip flops broke yesterday (boooo!) and I need another pair. I never pay more than $3 so it should be good. L's been in a loving mood today, sending me sweet texts and all. I love when he's in this kind of mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangletsbang Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've lived in Texas my entire life and every summer I feel like it's something new to me. I don't know how people work in it all day..when i'm running in the evening..6-8pm..it's so suffocating..the heat and humidity is just absolutely terrible.

redrose85 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm jealous, but not. We haven't gotten summer yet. It hasn't gotten beyond 25 degrees c, and that was just one odd day where it got warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntress0527 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's going to feel like 105 with the humidity where I live but the actual temp is 100 for the next 3 days. It's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissancewoman101 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Dang, do you guys have obscenely high humidity too? I don't mind the heat most of the time (we have dry heat out here), but if the heat comes with the humidity, that takes a toll on my asthma.

OptomisticGirl Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Renny- yeah the apartment has AC. I usually leave it off when not home and only cut it on long enough to get the house cooled back down. It's suppose to be 103 today. Yesterday at 6 pm it was so muggy.
