So, I haven’t been to the gym in a month…..at least…but I think I’ve gotten a bit of control over my food portion issues. Portions should fill the plate, bowl, glass…and that is a HUGE problem for me. Working on smaller portions on smaller plates is working………slowing down the entire process of eating is working……..and not cleaning my plate is working.
Biggest Loser Fan Forum is doing a weight loss challenge for the current 16 week season 8 which is called Second Chances. To participate, I listed my current weight, what I wanted to lose during the challenge (16lbs), and a life goal. I figure 16 weeks, 16 lbs made sense…trying to be realistic so that I have a positive outcome. Several people have 40+ as their loss goal…that really seems like a lot. All weights were submitted on the 8th….and weigh-in’s take place weekly. There are about 16 people “competing” online....we had our first weigh in on Tuesday….and woo-hoo I actually had a loss to report in! YEAH!
Having a loss is really great….and maybe getting a grip on my grub will make the difference this for the last time. Now getting back to the gym……had the best of intentions of dragging my butt over there yesterday, but Dot showed up. Dot has become more and more unpleasant the last couple of years…waking up in the middle of the nite with a mess sucks…cramps (which I never had before) sucks….feeling nauseous sucks……
Needless to say, I’ll be hitting the gym next week…..and not with a vengeance! Going to take it slow….and maybe even get into the pool. That would be nice…but I’m a brat and don’t want to flounder in the pool with a bunch of others. I’m going to plan on 30 minutes of cardio something….stairs, elliptical…..then 30 in the pool. I really do miss swimming, I feel normal in the pool…..it’s just a natural place to be.
Ok, that seems to be more than enough for now…..change your fate!

Ok, went to the gym…..34 minutes on the elliptical…30 forward & 4 back….not too bad for 2 days in a row

so...just started doing laundry.......hahahahaha
finally got the cell phone situation straightened out....bought an IPhone, figured out that i wasn't going over on minutes....and that the extra charges were about $10 per month on text messaging (mine).......the other charges were actually being charged to sis & bro-in-law's phonesthey had approved the charges and didn't even know what they were....over $25 per month, for who knows how long!
of course, no acknowledgement of their error in accusation....par for the course
we have over 11 thousand roll-over minutes available.......
anyway.....haven't gone to the gym since i've been back from camping....i will go today...after the guy comes to fix the slider door
saw my Aunt...she looks good...especially since she's turning 80 on the 8th of this month
she's apprehensive about moving down here....she's lived in her house for 73 years, so this will be a great change
Auntie is also really excited to move, and start a new life....i hope that she will be happy here for her remaining years
my nephew is a giant! 5'5", 12 years old, his voice is changing (gross), he's dealing with an onslaught of acne, and according to his father "he's starting to grow hairs"........super gross........lol lol lol
i should have looked up my sister's friend, who now lives in Alameda...to ask her for hair advice....hahahahaha.....
that's it....ciao for now

july 31
Ok, so after a fantastic camping trip & visiting friends & over 2100 miles….i’m home! The pooches were fine & I was happy to see them. I’m having a hard time getting on a schedule….my sleep pattern is just screwed. It’s 7pm & I have ‘napped’ since 3! Yikes, need to eat some protein and start on laundry. Well, the eating will happen……lol

gym
Went to the gym today…again without eating ..9am appt with my trainer….cluster fuck….mental note: EAT SOME FUCKING THING BEFORE WORKING OUT….dumbshit
Never in my ‘aware’ life did I EVER think I’d be this out of shape…correction, did I think I’d become physically ill trying to get back into shape. This is the third week in a row that I have felt nauseous during a workout. Mind you, I’m not doing shit really…..my body is just that far gone……it’s quite depressing, really.
How long have I been ‘un-aware ‘ is the real question? Just living on auto-pilot? Couldn’t tell ya. I’ve been off work almost a year. The previous two years felt entirely out of my control. One year mom was sick, then diagnosed, then miserable, then dead. The following year I just went thru the motions of work, eat, breath, repeat…until my sister was actually ready to start the process of selling the property.
Certainly, the last three years I haven’t been ‘living’………..and I would think that at least two years before that as well……so, it’s been a good 5 years on auto-pilot. And I have absolutely gone to pot…as in a mess, not drugs. Drugs and drinking have never been my real ‘thing’……that would be food. And that would be a whole kettle of fish….as my grandma would say.
Love to eat…..where will we go? What will I have? How soon will it happen? That’s pretty much it……fill the immediate need….not a lot of thought goes into it.
I have done it before…..gotten back to my fighting weight, as it was…..just don’t know what to fight for now…..i’ve been alone so long………….oooohh-weee………looks like I’ve got issues……duh, I KNOW…I just have to figure out some sort of priority…..whathefuck….ok……that’s way enough for now…
So yeah, I went to the gym today and worked out with my trainer for about 40 minutes….ciao for now
