My CAT bit me....
Last night I am trying to get myself together and get the kid out the door to meet friends for dinner and I am agitated that he is not listening so my voice is a little raised okay....perhaps a little tense....anyhow I saw the cat sitting on the back of the sofa which is nothing unusual for her.
I turned around to walk to the door and she latched out at me with her VIPER-like fangs and bit me on the arm near my wrist. She made it bleed and it is bruised today. It happened so quick it is all a blur....I mean seriously - it was like a snake striking at its prey! Bad kitty-kitty! She has never did this to me before so I am assuming it was her trying to show that she was not happy with me raising my voice at the kid...I mean what else could it be - I didn't do a thing to the cat!
I put hand sterilizer on it when I got out to the car and have been coating it with Neosporin because cat scratches (which it is not) and cat bites are bad news for infection!
Bad kitty kitty!

Monday, Monday.....
Where did the weekend goooo?
After my big weigh in on Saturday I felt like a totally blew the diet plan but I was still journaling my every morsel and I didn't blow it - I figured out the points earlier this a.m. and I was on track but for some reason when I went out Saturday for breakfast I felt like it all went down the tubelet! I did okay - it was okay to go have 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon and a pancake - minus the butter....I didn't eat lunch or much of a dinner - 1 slice of cheese pizza from Dominoes at the LCSC basketball game. It was just funny because when I ate the big breakfast I felt like I was majorily falling off of the WAGON train!
I spent time out and about yesterday at CPS and mostly just organized my stuff and then went out to coffee with a friend and hit Wally World last night for some late night stockup the cupboard items, a couple pair of clearance Levi's for the boy - nothing too exciting - just the Levi's for $11.00 a pair!
The big boy was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday with a sore throat, so I left him home all day with the little boy and let them hang out together.
I got up bright and early this a.m. and went to workout again - I can't express how good that makes you feel to go get the blood pumping through the old body - sounds crazy but for some reason it energizes!
When I was eating breakfast at my desk this morning I had to keep reassuring DAISY DOG that she needed to go indulge in her dog food and to stay off my desk - she jumps from the chair to my desk and tries to help me out with anything she finds interesting. It only took me putting her down from my desk five or six times before she decided to hit the sheets in MY BED and be obedient for awhile. Gotta Love that MUTT!
These are my little worker bees as pups, before they were actually hired on full time as my office staff. Twinkster is the brown one - she is pretty good, I had to get after her this morning for playing under my desk because last week she inadvertently turned the power bar off with her paw in the midst of my work day - it wasn't a pretty picture. I scolded her and she headed for her cubicle in the bed and I haven't seen nor heard from her since - I am sure she is hard at work....sleeping!

Drum roll POLEEEAAAASEEE....
Okay - so I get up early this a.m. and head off to the grand weigh in....
I was nervous because last night I went to an auction and had 1/2 of my dessert and tasted a couple of others. I would have been way worse in the past though, consuming mine and probably another one if I could get my hands on one. Afterwards it was late and I was hungry for "real" food so we went through Arby's drive through and I was a little distressed because most of those sandwiches are quite a few points. I opted for a grilled chicken salad with lite dressing. Guess what? I was satisfied.
So the total for the weight loss is.....14.8 pounds!
I was amazed and so happy with that number. I am excited to see what happens next week!
The meeting was about negative thoughts and how we set ourselves up for things....hmmmm.....who does this sound like? MEEEEE! If I get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and say, man look how ugly I look today, look at all these bumps/lumps, my clothes are ugly....this is negative and how much easier it will be to say "Now, what can I eat to make myself feel better?" Instead of finding things that are good about me and concentrating on the good and feeling good about the things I do good.
So I thought it would be fun to start making a gratitude journal (Kristi had talked about this before)....so I am borrowing her idea. This may help my overall attitude in life too because some days it is so hard not to feed myself negative thoughts!
Things I am grateful for:
***My husband and my son***
***My friends***
***The sunshine outside today and how the crisp sunny days feel so good***
***14.8 lbs gone from my body***
***Finding confidence to go exercise in front of strangers***
***Spring time***
I know these are pretty general things but I will try to get better at it....
Have a great weekend!

Anticipation....
After almost two weeks I am going to weigh in tomorrow - I am anticipating a loss but I think I have my hopes up for a big number and I am going to be let down. I have worked out for three weeks four times a week hoping this will enhance my weight loss. I feel so much better in just three weeks - my body doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it did before I started all this. The gals at the exercise place are wonderful and so fun to be with for 30 minutes each morning - what an uplifting way to start my day. The reason it has been almost two weeks since my last weigh in is I have changed the day I go, this way I don't miss any work hours.
It is so hard but easy in a way to eat wiser. I don't want to fail and I guess when my failures come I just pick up and go on from that point. I have issues from the past when people have policed my food intake - that tends to make me rebellious! I have actually had people ask "are you supposed to be having that?" or "is that on your diet?" - I realize they want to help but it gets old and fast and then I start getting pissed about it - so, hintttt to all the people that like me - don't police me okay? I am at the point where I may go in to my butt kicking mode!
On the other hand, when I go out with friends to dinner, like last weekend, and I save all the points I can for dinner ~ I am afraid they are looking at my plate and wondering what diet I am on when I order a steak and a bake potato....butter/sour cream on the side.....I shared that with my husband and he said "who cares" and I guess that is what I need to think but it is hard - I am ALWAYS concerned about what others are thinking about me. He reassured me that these are my "FRIENDS" and they aren't going to judging me on my food intake.
I am so looking forward to the weekend - just to rest and relax a little! I want to get some cleaning done on my house - so DiYan don't come up to find me okay - you would be MORTIFIED! It is bad but I am starting to feel the ambition to start working on my mounds of "stuff" and getting rid of it or finding a place for it.
Not much else going on right now..........

You're notta WHAT????
Okay ~ First off, apologies out for not being able to be a part of Crop, Paper, Scissors crop night on Saturday night, it would have been fun! HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY KRISTI! I had plans to go out with friends for dinner and music and OHHH what a night.
A recap of my Saturday night out.......
We drop the little man off at G&G's house so we could have a night out on this wild town with some friends. We gather at a local establishment and everyone decides to eat in the bar rather than wait for a table in the regular restaurant. Now that is all fine and dandy (really it is) except my legs are extremely short and my body is old and heavy so I am not a fan of getting up on the barstools so I can perch myself an extra foot in the air and balance on a four legged roost to visit with friends and enjoy some eats and be comfortable. My legs went to sleep a few times during the dinner so I had to keep squirming around like I had worms or something. Not a great big fan of the barstool as you can see.
Soooo, the evening was young and we decided to go take in some music form a local singer that we enjoy listening to. We head to the local establishment that the singer is playing at. We get in and find a place to sit - my back happens to be right next to a sweet/innocent older couple - I am thinking to myself - isn't that sweet - on my first observation it reminded me of what my grandparents might have been like when they were still alive, you know out for a nice evening of dinner and dancing.
I ask myself, "WHY ME, Why do these things seem to happen to me???"
You see in observing LOLA (name has been changed to protect the poor little dawling) she had a hot pink satin top on that was low cut on her trim/thin little body, LOLA had a wig on because LOLA kept adjusting it and LOLA was extremely intoxicated. After several minutes of visiting with my friends, drinking some Diet Pepsi (my personal drink of choice) and people watching, LOLA leans over to me and tells me ROBERTO (name also changed...) is 85 and she is 70 and I say to LOLA "WOW, you guys are really shakin' it out there", seriously ROBERTO had some hip moves that would make most young woman weak in the knees. Unfortunately in my observation of the LOLA and ROBERTO dancing ROBERTO, though intoxicated himself, was propping up LOLA on the dance floor because she couldn't balance, probably a combination of alcohol and vertigo I am thinking. As the evening progresses LOLA decides I am her new best friend and continues to share her inner most feelings about ROBERTO. You see, ROBERTO was dancing with EVERYONE in the establishment, I am thinking LOLA did not like ROBERTO sharing himself with others because she leaned back to me at one point and tells me that ROBERTO is looking for a woman with MONEY and he is out on the dance floor looking for LOVE. She said (word for word I mind you) "If HE thinks HE is taking me home and getting in to my pants tonight HE has another think a coming." I nearly choked on my Diet Pepsi, this is the point where I start thinking "NO THIS IS NOT MY GRANDPARENTS AT ALL" and the "WHY ME" part. She then asks if anyone at our table dances and I point to a couple and she points to the male portion of that couple and says "If I could get HIM out on the floor with me that would get to HIM (the HIM meaning ROBERTO)". I am hoping the out on the floor portion of the conversation is DANCING and not some sort of other groovy move. LOLA then shares with me that she is not poor but not rich either, her husband has passed on a few years prior and has a pension from a government group that I am sure she is much better off than most here locally. At this point ROBERTO arrives back at the table to LOLA, his princess. I am now sitting sideways in my chair because I have been talking with her and they are talking, probably thinking they are whispering but they are 70 and 85 so their hearing is failing. LOLA and ROBERTA start to kiss and LOLA slips ROBERTO the old tongue move. WOW, I had to turn around at this point. My friends from the other side of the table are now observing the goings on at the table and assure me later that ROBERTO's hand was not in his lap and it was wandering on her anatomy (maybe he was practing human anatomy by braille). As the evening progresses and ROBERTO is sharing his LOVE with other ladies and burning up the dance floor LOLA tells me she is "NOT A WHORE" (I again almost CHOKE on this one - YOUR NOT A WHAT????) oh my, oh my and she doesn't have to put up with him and she isn't going to put up with it. I am seeing now that LOLA wants ROBERTO to herself and for him to be content with HER and HER tongue at their table. When ROBERTO does get LOLA out on the dance floor she keeps giving me the "OKAY" sign over his shoulder and winking at me and I am giving her the okay sign and thumbs up back at her ~ it seems I have made a new FRIEND. As the evening winded down we followed ROBERTO & LOLA from the establishment to their car and followed them down the road........Oh what a night! Traumatizing for me but I wonder if ROBERTO got what he wanted from LOLA? Oh LOLA, she was a showgirl............WOW!

Another Day in the office with DAISY the half brain dog.....
Let me explain....I am on a diet.....food is limited.....
Setting the scene...
Cat kills bird in front yard where dogs roam....
Daisy Lou Who finds the dead bird and brings it in the office....
Mom (that would be me) doesn't notice....until she hears chewing....
I try to get the bird away at which time daisy starts gulping it down whole....
I sit back down put earphones in and try to type but I can hear the crunch/chewing/tugging on the dead bird's feathers......
I get a cloth to get the bird away from Daisy.....
by the time I get to her bird has been consumed....
I am picking up the bloody flower gagging....
My Weight Watchers Chicken/Rice Dinner has revisited my esophagus and mouth....you got it....I spewed.....Does that still count for 7 points or do I get a certain amount knocked off for "losing it", vomiting, hurling, blowing chunks???? What to do? I am still halfway sick...that just grosses me out!
In the meantime, I am patiently awaiting the bird to revisit Daisy and she will be sick and spew....then guess what? I will get to clean up another flipping mess from the dog with a half of a brain! I swear if she spews the bird up she is going outside for the rest of the day, weiner dog or not - she is out in the yard with the doggy door shut behind her...I have HAD IT!
I knew this day was going by a little to quietly.....besides the fact that my work laptop is not functioning and I called the service desk at 8:00 a.m. this morning and asked that it be a priority as I CAN'T WORK without it - HELLOOO, DUH??? and got on MY personal computer and started typing and still no phone calls with an estimated time that they will repair it! MEN - they just don't get it!

Bummer of a weigh in!
I worked sooo very hard this whole week being good on my diet. My first week on Weight Watchers and I lost a big zero - in fact, I gained a half of a pound! Doesn't that beat it all! I wrote down everything that I ate! I don't get it! I am going to give it til next Saturday and if I haven't started to drop poundage then hmmm not sure how I am going to handle this! I even exercised 4 of those days too. If I wasn't so sore from my exercising I probably wouldn't be quite as let down but people, I tried!

Life is GOOOOOD...
I feel 99% back to normal as far as my trip down in the valley of life...there is always 1% that is wandering aimlessly!
I worked out for 30 minutes today (amazed myself!) It is actually kind of fun - the ladies seem nice that are there early in the mornings. It will be interesting to see if I get results from all this torture I am putting myself through!
It is Friday and my whole weekend is so packed with fullness. Tonight we are going out with some friends to dinner and then possibly out to watch one of our favorite local singers perform. Tomorrow is grocery day along with my sorority is having there Valentine Banquet at 6:00, I finally decided to attend (I made a decision on my own - WOOOHOOOOO) and Sunday is movie day at the local theater as we bought tickets through the school at a discount. Then it will be Monday already again!
I didn't realize the SURVIVOR season started last night....I got in on the SURVIVOR game at my husband's work place this time - My person from the show is Erick - He is kind of a little hottie (okay, at least I think he is!), a little surfer guy is what he looks like! WOWZER! So I am hoping he plays the game and gets to the end because then I could win some cash and CASH my friend, is always good!
Oh and Daisy Lou Who is still having a fling with Orville - she somehow had hid a package of his popcorn (probably under the bed) from the other day and last night I found her shredding the unpopped bag of Orville and licking the butter from package! I picked it up and shamed her - which she felt bad for maybe 2 seconds! I tried to explain to her that she could get popcorn lung from eating the butter but she just flipped her ears about and ran off.
Okay back to the drawing board....

When I am up, I am up!
Hey things are a lot brighter today - I think I am "TRIPOLAR" (HA)!
I hit the exercise place at 6:45 a.m. and did another 2.5 minutes on the treadmill and one circle on the machines! Better than yesterday but still feeling like a failure but at least I am there! It feels good to go early and have that out of the way and then I can dwell on how good I was all day by already having exercise in! HAHA!
You will just LOVE my dog story from yesterday! I had to make a quick trip the pharmacy because I have this humungous tumor on my lip, a.k.a. a cold sore, herpes, ya whatever you want to call it! So anyhow, I leave all dogs out of their kennels thinking what in the heck can they do in five minutes....well, let me tell you what they can do in five minutes....
the instigator is Ms. Daisy Lou Who I can tell you that! She should be a Search & Rescue dog or something like that. I enter the house to find that Orville Redenbocker has been raped (okay just the box has been raped), there are bags of popcorn all over the house from the front door to the bedroom and on the bed where I find Luci Lou Who packing one around that is partially chewed in to (damn dog)! Miss Swiss Miss had been accosted also, there were packages of her mainly in the front room. Lastly, the jumbo size bag of rawhides had been shredded and Daisy Lou Who was guarding the bag and all 10 bones and even growled at me when I started to confiscate the evidence....baadddd dog! Twinkie Lou Who knew that there were problems when I entered the door because she wiggled her brown little tail and gave me that "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T DO IT LOOK" and ran for the bedroom to go under the bed!
Do you see what I go through with Ms.Daisy? I mean I know she "Got the Party Started"! While the mom's away the weiner dogs will play....or someting like that!
Okay enough already!
I hit the exercise place at 6:45 a.m. and did another 2.5 minutes on the treadmill and one circle on the machines! Better than yesterday but still feeling like a failure but at least I am there!

Emotional rollercoaster - hop on for a ride!
I am having a tough time dragging myself out of this valley - I don't think I have felt like this for a long, long, long time! What is up with me? I honestly feel like my title.....
I feel like crying and going back to bed! I can't though so that answer is out!
I went and joined Weight Watchers yesterday and I went and finally signed up for a 2 month session of Fit Express that a friend had given me last fall (thanks friend)! That was totally humiliating to finally go but at 6:30 a.m. this morning my butt was going through the door. I am sure the ladies there thought what the hell is she doing here but I did it! I had nightmares all night about going in (seriously I did) and then I dreamed I came out of there and lost my car? Go figure - I wonder what all that is supposed to interpret in to??? I was just amazing I did 1 time around the circle doing the equipment (god that was embarrassing) and then I walked on the treadmill for 2.5 minutes on the lowest speed - that is baadd! How in the world did I let myself get to this point? Why? I am excited about this but I am also very depressed at the same time and I am not quite sure how to pull myself all together and feel good about this trek! I got to want this for myself and it is so hard for me to be disciplined but I cannot afford to go on living the way I did 1.5 days ago...I am 41 and not so good! I mean I have lost out on a lot in life with my weight and I want to be so done with that! People think they get treated badly by different skin tones but trying being overweight - you are treated differently in most all aspects of life! I want to do things my weight has held me back from doing, currently I can hardly make it through a shopping trip at Wal-Mart let alone the all dayers my friends and I used to pull off in Spokane....I want that back again! The ability to do that!
I don't know maybe I am having a "major" pitty party for me and no one wants to come aboard and help me feel sorry for me but then I don't think that because I am really doing some deep searches in my mind and heart and trying to find happiness because I don't feel happy inside and I want to experience happiness inside. Where did I lose it and when did I lose that? I want it back people! I am fighing for it, WHERE DID IT GO?
On the flip side, do you know what 150 green and teal eyelits look like scattered all over the floor? Daisy Dog decided she would tip my scrap tote off the chair yesterday and spilled my eyelets all over....I thought I was going to cry but I didn't, a friend heard all the choice words spewing from my mouth at the dog and the situation! Daisy should have been named "NOSEY ROSIE". She has no interest in scrapbooking but yet she was nosing in my bag of tricks! She is lying low today so far, either she is feeling bad for what she did yesterday (I highly doubt) or she is sleeping in this a.m. just to let me know who is in control here in this house!
okay so that is the update on me and MY NOT so HAPPY life - okay, that was a joke!
I want SUNSHINE or SNOW - none of this gray sky stuff!
