If its Tuesday then why does it feel like a Monday?
Hum…where to start today? I seem off kilter today. I guess its the long weekend that has me so messed up. That and the lack of control and no exericse. So I feel out of sorts. Almost like I’m not where I’m suppose to be.
As far as the diet, I am back on track today. I guess since I ate some much over the weekend I havent been very hungry today. My belly is still very upset with me so I wont be doing any heavy duty veggie eating for a few days. That would only make it worse. This afternoon has been a little tricky. I wanted to come in and just raid the fridge even though I’m not hungry. But I know there is cheesedip in there! If Tom doesnt want any tonight its going into the bottom of the deep freezer for safe (meaning out of my reach) keeping!
Exercise, well I’m still stuck about whether I want to join Curves or not. I do, I really do. I enjoy it, I enjoy the people I work out with and I love the way it makes me feel. But I am very weird about signing that contract. I just dont like that one bit at all. I can skip that part and pay month to month but its 10 bucks more if I do that. So I need to decide which is better…the contract or the month to month. But I need to do something soon because I really did miss it today and blame not going on alot of my sluggishness.
Even though I said I was not going to weigh I got on the scales this morning without really thinking about it. Guess it was habit. WOW! I sure hope that is alot of fluid retention or I gained in one weekend what it took an entire month to lose! Ugh, summertime is gonna be the downfall of me! Just looking ahead at this weekend. Saturday I have big old fashioned redneck wedding to attend. Seriously, this thing could be on CMT! LOL! Its gonna be outside with so much food they could feed a small country. And booze? Dont even get me started on that. The mayors daughter is getting married and they are gonna make sure do it up right.
And things like this will continue until well into fall. Thats the one bad thing about living in a small town. There is nothing to do so people eat and drink all weekend long. Either around a pool in summer or a bonfire in fall.
I was counting up today. The 4th of July holiday is in a little over 6 weeks. Another long weekend of parties. *sigh*
All I can do is work like crazy between now and then and see how close to goal I can get. But I know I’m gonna have splurges between now and then just because I am human. So all I can do it take the losses and gains as they come. I have to stop pressing myself so hard to get to 169 when it may not happen right now. Am I happy with that? Not really. But am I realistic? Yup.
I’m gonna go check out some blogs. I am boring myself with my droning on and on about nothing at all! Have a great night buddies!!!

Long weekends have a habit of sending us off the rails for days afterwards! Good luck with the decision on Curves, I hate signing contracts too for the gym, I prefer to pay month by month, even if it is a little more expensive, at least you aren’t tied into it then for 12 months.
Good luck
U know that scale is not actually what u weigh ! U r just retaining water woman ! Unless u actually ate pounds and pounds of food? I dont think so missy ! So is it ten more bucks a months to pay each month instead of a with a contract? That is steep, $100 more bucks a year? Wow. That is kind of rediculous. But if u sign for the year, will that help u to be more accountable and get you there all year regularly? Or r u afraid u will bore with it? I know a friend who quit going cause after awhile it wasnt getting her heart rate up. Hmmm… I thought u werent going to stress, er, ruminate—over living life and the fun parties and things that come with it ? Huh? Sounds like u have some fun summers and I REALLY want a pool to hang out in and around !
Maria, I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates contracts!!
Yup, 10 more bucks a month without the contract. Which another thing that Tom doesnt like, they auto-draft your checking account. To him that is a big no-no. He does not like that just anyone or anything that can screw up pulling money out of our account. So I’m thinking the month to month might be the only way I can go. I thought about the accountability myself and I’m not sure it will make a difference or not. Normally I am pretty hard on myself to succeed so I dont think I would pay it and not go.
Me not stress? Who said that!?!?! LOL!! I’m trying, I really am. I dont know why I get like this sometimes! I make my own personal hell!
Eww, I dont like auto draft out of my acct either. Yuck. I dont ever do that so I would pay more for the month thing too ! Ur funny
I don’t know, I think you should join but just pay to do month to month
That wedding will be fun even if it is redneck.
I need to stay away from celebrations and events, it’s wrecking my diet….I’ve had too many!
I think you should just focus on maintaining or smaller loss if you want to be able to enjoy these events. It is so hard to do and it comes down to choice of what is more important to you…a number or feeling good? It seems to me you do feel good about yourself, right? Enjoying life and staying healthy is a hard balance sometimes…just make the best choices you can that dont end in regret.
I saw one of those CMT Redneck Wedding shows…one that was taped maybe 15 minutes from here…it gave me the heebie jeebies…and I consider myself to be a little bit redneck…but some of that was just down right gross! Do I or dont I wear my false teeth for the wedding…ok wear them but take em out to kiss the bride…EWWWWWWWWWW! LOL!
What an awful friend I’ve been Chris!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I missed a few blogs… Don’t have a lot of time just wanted to come and show my girl some love!
GLAD TO SEE SOME ONE ELES HAS A HARD TIME OVER LONG WEEKENDS. I LOVE READING YOUR BLOGS THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL BETTER THANKS!!
Holly, you are so right. This wedding could be the end of me again. I want to go but I know I wont say no when the food starts getting set out.
Deb, you are so right my dear! I am not unhappy with where I am now but WW’s says to make lifetime I gotta get to 169. Sometimes I feel like its impossible! Maybe I do need to just start focusing more living (like their commercials say) and stop worrying if I go over a little. I’m not letting it get out of control but then again, I feel like I’m not in control of it either! Argghh!! Oh! This wedding wont be as bad as the one you watched, I saw that one too! The bride and groom both have their own teeth! LOL!!!!
Melissa, yup..the weekends are my end all. Just tell me about plans we may or may not have over the weekend and I am already plotting on what I can eat! And thank you for the compliment!
