Love/Hate Relationship

Okay so I woke up yesterday morning and weighed myself after a week of absently ignoring my weight and exercise routine. I didn't workout all of last week because of tiredness and a little lazy on the side. To my expressionless shock of horror, I gained 4 pounds. Apparently I will never be able NOT to workout again especially since I love to over indulge myself in too much food. Maybe skipping a day here or there, but not a whole week if I want contain my weight. Do the math, if I didn't workout for the rest of the year that would be 4 pounds a week, 52 weeks a year. I would be 350 pounds by next Christmas. Now be honest, would you still be my friend then? I don't think I would even want to be my own friend. And I would have to kiss Girls Night Out good-bye because not too many restaurants can accommodate 350 pound persons. How embarrassing would that be? See I know my problem is eating too much food, I get it. The calorie counting is simple math and science combined together, but who wants to count stupid calories every day for the rest of their lives. Ewww, it gives me the willies just thinking about it. Damit I want to be able to eat that snickers bar or reece's peanut butter cup when I want to. Now that I have completely scared the shit out of myself with a little bit of "Drill Sargent" motivation, I started back on my workout schedule last night. I think I truly hate exercising:)

During my lunch hour, I had an appointment at Azana so afterwards I scooted over to the mall to finish up my lunch hour with a little shopping. It's been awhile, but I actually went through Victoria Secret and made a purchase. I am definitely expanding my horizens. Things are looking up. I am feeling pretty good about myself. I stop off at the Limited on my way out of the mall as well and make another purchase there. I get all the way back to work, sit down at my desk, eat my sandwich and then brush the crumbs off my lap. Wouldn't ya know it my fly is wide open as a window in the middle of a summer breeze. Hopefully my jacket covered me while I was galavanting through the mall. Otherwise all the people in Victoria Secret and the mall might have gotten a view they weren't expecting.

Drinks at Mo’s-The night before Thanksgiving

This is from my old blog, but I had to add this one to the new one. Some of you will get a kick out of this and others might not.

So I get a little out of control when I drink, who says its a bad thing. Right? Well maybe some might disagree. This is an apology to the person at Mo's that I may or may not have accidently hurt. If you have been to Mo's, they have two rooms divided by a set of doors. Who's idea was that anyway? We were on the large bar side and the bathrooms were on the small room side. I had to go to the bathroom. No. I didn't go into the mens bathroom. I made it into the women's bathroom successfully this time. I even had an escort. Erin was kind enough to escort me to and from the bathroom, but this is where her assignment fell short. I was coming through those doors I was talking about before. Who would remember whether the doors were heavy or not so I estimated a little too much with my weight leaning into them. The door smacks hard into a chair and apparently a person was sitting in that chair. I said "Oops" and maybe a giggle came out, but I forgot to say I was sorry. Since my focus was to get back to where everyone else was, I made a b-line straight back to the bar to get another drink not realizing the full extent of what I actually did. Erin was lagging behind me and I think pretended not to know me, but she finally caught back up to recap the whole incident to the rest of the group. Well anyway. I am apologizing to the unknown soul who unfortunately crossed my path.

Cable is evil!

HOLY CRAP! Cable is definitely evil. This is exactly why we got rid of cable five years ago. The cable was hooked up on Friday. We now have cable, internet and phone through the cable company. By Sunday, I am able to use the new digital cable smoothly. Give me a break it has been five years. Don't get me wrong, I love the new setup. We had such a busy day on Saturday I was completely happy to veg out in front of the TV all day long. We watched kid shows in the morning so by noon I was wanting some kind of movie. TNT was nice enough to provide "What Women Want," which I hadn't seen in awhile so I go ahead and put that on. The kids were busy playing anyway. As the conclusion comes around to the movie, I realize it is about 2:00 pm. All of a sudden an "OH SHIT" escapes my mouth, I just realized that my nephews birthday started at 2:00 pm. Thankfully, the kids were already dressed. In speed record time I was dressed and out the door by 2:15 pm. This is all cables fault. I would have never forgotten if I wasn't all wrapped up into watching TV. Well maybe I still would have, but we will never know now because the cable has been installed.

The weekend made up for the crappy week.

I forgot to add this one too.

James and I went out this Saturday, just the two of us. Since he has been working out of town every week, we needed some alone time together to reconnect. I know this sounds corny, but it works for us. We went to Bucas for drinks and dinner, had a fabulous time. Even when I went to the restroom, released my business and as I was walking out I thought to myself how strange they have urinals in the women's bathroom. I didn't let this ruin the night even when people were starring at me when I came out. Either they were thinking I was some kind of tranvestite or I was a complete ditz. After the week I had, I would definitely relate to the level of ditz. By the time I got back to the table, I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to have to pee again. All James said was "Only my wife." We laughed some more and decided to take our entertainment out for some more drinks.
