We had our 3rd annual Memorial Softball Tournament today and it was great! I was a little nervous watching all of the weather forecasts with Hurricane Irene coming and it did start raining about 10 minutes before the games were due to start, but we really got very lucky. After a brief shower, we were able to get through the day and it didn’t rain until the end while most of us were cleaning up.
So I started back on the Alli and other than my birthday, have been keeping up with it pretty well. The only glitch I have had is I’ve drinking a lot of Mountain Dew or Pepsi or Coke Max to stay away as I haven’t been sleeping much. Sadly, I didn’t get on the scale at the beginning of the week but I got on today for the first time in about a month. I am at 191, which is up a pound from the last time I was on but it has to be down from what I was. I wore a pair of jeans to work the other day that I couldn’t zip without lying down the other day and the muffin top that came up over them kept me from wearing them three weeks ago when I tried them on. That has to be a good sign and sounds like a win to me. Summer is tough with all the burgers and things but I made myself a burger yesterday that was only 10.5 grams of fat which included the burger meat, the cheese (Swiss, yum!!) and the bun. I cut up some yummy mushrooms and mixed them right in to the burger meat! It was super yummy and low in fat. I will continue with the diet and weigh myself next week and see where I am at. I have been pretty run down and deflated recently so I’m not motivated to do much really recently but I’m trying. Wish me luck.
1. I am so stressed right now with work and all that is going on there. I go from wanting to run screaming to wanting to keep going and hoping that it will get better soon. Not a lot of hope coming from the PA end though.
2. I know my weight is always part of my ToT that doesn’t have a theme and I’m sorry, but I really do need to do something about it. I know, I have to just shut up and do it because it’s probably getting tiring.
3. This summer has been fun. We have done Six Flags 5 times so far and though Eric may not like it, the kids and I are having a blast! It’s been a lot of fun!
4. My birthday is right around the corner and I’m so excited! I love my birthday and this year, not only is it my birthday, but it’s Zac’s first football practice and the Patriots Season Pre-Opener Game! What more could I ask for? Oh and free dinner at Abington Ale House! Win!!!
5. I love dresses! I have worn a lot this summer and love the feel of them. Thankfully, Walmart has had some really cute ones this year at a pretty cheap price!
6. I need a pedicure pretty bad but I don’t know when I will have time to get one. Maybe Saturday before I pick up Mitch to hang out for the day.
7. Does Vitamin E really work on stretch marks? Does anyone know. I keep forgetting to buy them, but I was told to buy the actual vitamins and poke a hole and take the liquid inside and use that one stretch marks and scars. Would be pretty cool if it did.
8. I think something is wrong with my Wii remotes, as they are flashing me right now. Pretty crazy!
9. Everyone is having babies right now and it’s super exciting! I have been working like crazy on some quilts for people and am having a blast with it!!
10. Lastly, I am being paid to make two separate quilts. (More quilt talk, I know), but I’m super excited about it! I have to post pictures of the one that I am making for the girl at work though I’m not done but getting close! I just have to get the piece for the back and the quilt stuffing stuff. I am having such a good time making them! I just wish I had more time to work on them. Oh well! More later!
So the diet starts back today. I broke down and bought (had Eric pick up) some Alli as I just can’t do this anymore. Feeling so super self-conscious about myself and I’m getting older. I need to lose some weight. I was going to weigh myself but the Wii controllers are not working (no charge), so I didn’t get to weigh myself today. I’m hoping tomorrow. I don’t think I want to know though. I will update you soon. But it does start now…
