Snowy Friday, but I'm heading to Nebr.!

I'm excited to get going to see my kids(the human type), hope the roads aren't too bad. I really hate white knuckle driving. Dan is going to make a big dinner for Sunday night so it will be nice to get back home a well. Sunday before getting home I'm stopping in Murdo for TaeKwonDo class, this should prove to be interesting...

Yummy yougart!

Dan made yougart over the week-end. It's been a nice breakfast or dessert with fresh blueberries. He's going to try making more today. It's nice to have a chef boy!

Monday,Monday

Well this will be a fun week. Have a lunch date for Wednesday and also going to TKD class that evening. I haven't been to class since April so it may prove to be an interesting evening. Hope I can walk on Thursday. Then it's leaving work at noon Friday so I can get to Murdo and to the court house before it closes. After that I'll be heading to Valentine to meet my mommy so we can go to Columbus to see my little boy before he becomes a Navy guy. And I'll try to get most of my stuff done up for the month-end before I go.

Heather has decided that we need a "Biggest Loser" challenge here at work. We're starting with a weigh in next Friday and going for 8 weeks. The final weigh-in will be Friday April 24th. Maybe this will get me on the right track. Not real thrilled with everyone knowing what I weigh though. OUCH!

Beer Thursday

Going to go have a beer with my two "work daughters" tonight. Can't stay too long as Grey's Anatomy is on tonight! : ) I've been looking at a website, fitday.com ,it's very neat, you track what you eat and you can fill in as much about yourself as you'd like. Deb, check it out! Of course, the beer tonight will be an ouch on the chart!

Do you ever wonder..

Is your life as it is today, what you're really hoping it would/will be? Sometime I wonder if things need to be different. Everyday things aren't as fun and fulfilling as they were a few years ago. Is it age? Is it just that so much have happened in the last two years? Am I expecting too much? Got any answers? I just have a feeling that I missed something very important somewhere and it's not ever going to be available again. Huh?! Makes me wonder....

Monday,already

Well, we had a busy week-end. Cleaned house and had guests over for dinner Sunday. Dan made a wonderful dinner of roasted leg of lamb with roasted new potatoes and green beans. I made dessert that was to equally good...a brownie torte that any chocolate lover would enjoy sampling. I'll save you a piece,Deb. Don't think the diet thing is working for me but someone did ask me if I was trying to lose weight today because I looked thinner. It was a co-worker who probably wants a favor later today! And so it goes...

TGIF

What a week, I finally got results. No thanks to Alli, I had to resort to the big guns,magnesium citrate. But at least I don't fill so "crappy" today. Yes, a pun was intended. Should be a good week-end, I'll be making a brownie torte for Dan for Valentine's dinner. Actually it will be for Sunday night dinner, we're having leg of lamb, roasted vegetables, salad w/raspberry vinaigrette, and brownie torte for dessert. Want to come for dinner?

And it's Thursday...

Still no diet results, doesn't really matter anymore. I'm giving up on the diet and going to get aggressive with the exercise. I've got to start soon or I won't be able to test next month. Need to start thinking of what I'm going to say on the paper I need to write..."What it means to be a Master", hmmm this is going to take some thought. Maybe Deb will let me come out and help do chores to start shaping up.

And we still wait...

Oh isn't this fun, not only does this diet plan stink, (everyone losing but me), now I'm back to not sleeping. Last night I think I had a total of 47 1/2 minutes of actual sleep. I should have stayed up and done something productive. Let's see...can't sleep, can't poop, and can't lose any weight. Is this what getting old is all about? Then to top it off, I'm supposed to test for my 4th degree black belt next month. I'm so out of shape I'd probably die at the testing...wonder if I can even get my belt around me? Now, that would really make my day a happy one!

Three cups of tea later...

So, I thought I'd really tempt fate and have another "tea" last night, hoping for some sort of reaction. Went to bed with ever so slight tummy rumbling, think this was building to the BIG EASY, I got nothing! Today, I hit the hard stuff, could it be that I just have such a low intake of fat that this stuff has no effect on me? Wonder what it would be like to be able to state every morning it's time for a constitution! Hmmmmm?

I'm gonna change my routine.....

Well day 15 and still nothing. Yesterday I even drank two cups of strongly brewed "super dieters tea" and I'm still waiting...
Saturday I had chips and a hot dog, took my Alli and not so much as a small tummy gurgle. You guys either have very sensitive bowels or mine have totally malfunctioned!!

Day 14...still waiting

Ok this has got to be some kind of sick joke. I trully beleive I haven't lost an ounce. I have been following the diet pretty well except for a few indulges. I can't even get a "treatment effect". Today I will totally thumb my nose at Alli and the so called treatment effect and wear light colored khakis. After having hot wings with celery and blue cheese dressing yesterday most Alli users would be quaking at the thought of even considering a work day in anything but black slacks. Well see who laughs last.....

This is for Deb...

Maybe this diet regime isn't for people who "normally" poop once every two weeks. I don't think I've lost any weight and feel like my stomach is a hot air balloon!
But, the huge bright spot is that I've made major progress at work. Posted all the adjustments to correct the #"@k ups from the former comptroller and I did it so that the bottom line was hardly effectede at all. Damn I'm good!!
