Just a little note:
I actually had a small loss but hey I'll take it!
I lost 0.6 lbs. I know not much to report but much better then the 2 lbs I thought I gained.
I am getting ready to try out my badminton net. My mother said she would be over to kick my butt! HA right!!
I actually had a great day at work today!
Tomorrow, I have to stay after work to take a CPR course. Looking forward to making out with my dummy! LOL

Wednesday Roundup
Back to work...BOO
Still having side effects of TOM...BOO
Got my badminton net up...YAY
But then it rained all afternoon and thunderstorms in the evening...BOO
I jumped on the scale this morning... up two pounds... You guessed it, BOOOOO

Want more time off
I am on my last day off and I have been hit with horrible TOM cramps. GRRR. Oh well at least I get to deal with them at home. I have taken my meds for them so hopefully I will feel better soon and get to enjoy my day off.
So after a four day weekend. I think I did not too bad.
Saturday I did my walk/jog in the AM and did nothing else all day.
Sunday I did my walk again in the AM, went to run some errands and grocery shopping.
Yesterday, was just a bad waste of a day. I wanted to head out to the beach but they were calling for some thunderstorms all day and it was cloudy. So I decided to pack up the dogs and my mother and took a drive. We stopped at a private beach and it was really nice out. Perfect weather however the water was full of jelly fish and the sand was littered with dead jellyfish. Not so fun. I was not really
We ended up walking in the sand for 15 minutes and leaving.
My food plan was out the window. I ate out once and stopped for an ice cream. Oh well I still had flex points I had not used.
I ended buying a cheap badminton set I will be setting that up today and hopefully be playing if I can find someone to come over. It's hard to play by yourself ;)
Today I was totally lazy I stayed in bed for like an hour , I wanted to go walking but felt so crappy. The day is not done and I can still sneak some exercise before the day is done.
I hope I get another couple of days off this summer and get to enjoy summery activities. Like the beach on a really hot day. I would have loved to head out to the zoo. I actually really like walking when I wake up which is like 9-10.

Report
Sorry it took so long to announce my official sucky WI.
I gained... 2.6lbs. I had tears on the way home. What makes it worst, the man in front of me getting weighted had been on WW for 16 weeks, and had already lost 86lbs.
All the girls were asking how... he said he exercises 2-3 hours each day. WELL...it was like a sign from above. I know that's what I am missing, I know that's what I need to do to get to goal. This man is my new idol. LOL
I will do something at least 4 times a week if not more, even if it's raining, even if it's +40... I will do it.
So last night we had a thunderstorm it started around 7:15pm and the power went out around 7:45 it only came back on at 10:45pm. It's was so hot in my apartment and I was so bored.
Of course if you follow my blog you know I have one dog who is deadly afraid of storms. It was quite the chaos in my little apartment.
My mom came outside with me to try to cool off and help Buddy recuperate and as we were walking in the yard. I yelled "SKUNK", fortunately for me the skunk freaked out and ran in the other direction. It was really close and coming towards us.
The we went in my mother stayed for awhile because we both had no electricity so we talked and complained about the humidity.
Only to wake up this morning at 7AM and realize it's already 31 outside. I am glad I am going into air conditioning
Off to work I go, then I am off Monday and Tuesday!! I am so happy!!

Chili
I forgot to take a picture..sorry!
White Turkey Chili with Barley
Canola or olive oil, for cooking
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 lb. lean ground turkey(I only had about 1 1/2 lbs)
2-4 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried cumin
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper (white pepper, if you have it)
¼ tsp. cinnamonDid not put in
1 can chicken stock, undiluted
1 28 oz. (798 mL) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup jarred salsa, hot or mild (optional)
2 19 oz. (598 mL) cans white kidney or navy beans, drained( I ended up with one can of white and one can of mixed which includes chickpeas, red kidney and others)
½ cup pot or pearl barley(did not include)
I added fresh mushrooms
Low fat sour cream and fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, heavy pot set over medium heat.
Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes, until softened.
Add the turkey and cook until no longer pink.
Add the chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Cook for another minute.
Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, salsa, beans and barley and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 45 minutes.
By then the barley should be cooked through. I did not need to cook it this long because I had no barley.
If you want to serve it right away, let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes, then taste and adjust the seasonings. Otherwise, let it cool and then refrigerate overnight;
Serves 8.
I got six cups of this stuff. Now with all the changes I made and I hate soup so I drained my pot pretty good. There was almost no juice in mine, because that's how I like it!
The points well since cancelling my WW online, I used a free site and it worked about 3 points for 1 cup. Please calculate yourselves especially if you follow the recipe as written and not as modified as I did.

Feeling better
So I decided to not check the scale until tomorrow morning. This will be hard but I am way to hard on myself. I worked really hard since Sunday to loose a few lbs. Maybe it is just water retention and if it is it may change by Wednesdays.
I apologize for my depressing post lately, I sometimes feel like no one gets it. Until I spill my heart out and I realize my blogger friends have most of the time have had similar things happen. It's nice to know you are not alone.
Yesterday I should have stayed in bed. I so just wanted to curl up and go back to sleep. I was in a bad mood all day. The co-workers normally know I am not a morning person and don;t normally try to chit chat at 9 am. But yesterday, I still did not feel like chatting at 1PM.
Today, I only work at noon, so that gives me the morning to go for a little walk and get ready un-rushed. Last night I made a batch of chili. A recipe I found in a magazine. Now I modified it a little and I did not try it yet, it sure smelled good at 9pm. I will post it if it's good.

Closing Mouth for 3 days
OK now I am upset... I always take a sneak peak at the scale and yeah I know it can sometimes change by Wednesday.
Well I highly doubt I am loosing 7lbs in 3 days. I have been up two weeks in a row. Last week I totally skipped my WI because the scale was up 6 lbs. I thought I was doing better. The only difference is less exercise and eating all my flex points. Well, I know I did bad but 7lbs????
Any tips on loosing at least 5 lbs from Monday to Wednesday?? Apart from putting duct tape over my mouth.
I am so disappointed. I have come to realized I am where I was all the times I have quit. I go up and down and then just get so upset with myself I stop. I better not this time, I am stronger then that.
So it's Monday and it's raining. Could it be more blah. I hate Mondays and love to stay home when it's raining. Curl up with a good book and snooze all day.Fantasy over.
OFF to work I go.

Yawn!
So I had a really boring weekend.
Friday, I came home and was starving. I made myself supper,read the daily newspaper and honestly could not wait to go to bed.
Saturday, well we were suppose to have a co-worker party and it got cancelled because everyone made excuses not to come... I was so disappointed. I never get to go out and have fun.
So Saturday morning I went out for my walk(sweated like a piggy) and then bummed around home all day. It was on and off with the rain and I had no energy to do much. I went out to pick up a few things for grocery. I stuffed my face like it was the last meal I would ever have. It got me thinking was a always snacking because I had nothing to do, or because I felt sorry for myself that I have no plans again?
Anyways I'm sure I will pay for my piggyness on the scale next week.
I am trying to be accountable for my actions, I feel like I can be honest on here and not be judge.

YoYo
I am having a bad week and it's only Wednesday.
I still have work issues going on, my father landed in the hospital (no worries but still there), I just took a sneak peak at the scale... I am not going for my WI tonight.
I will probably own up to going to WI another time this week, but I just don't feel like going there to be told I gained when I tried really hard to stay on track.
At least I started exercising again and I did not think I ate so bad until I realized I had a piece of some pudding chocolate dessert thing one day and then ice cream cake a couple of days before that. I may have snuck too many extra points here and there. I need to start to journal again.
I feel like I am a yoyo and I'm starting to think maybe this is where I am suppose to just stop and try something completely new to get moving again...
I am close to tears already, I need to get ready to head to the hospital before going to work. My boss was nice enough to say I could come in when I wanted this morning. I won't take advantage of it I will just be an hour late.

Thanks!
On this blah Monday I decided I would say something I have wanted to say for awhile...Thanks!
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my blog, to people who leave comments regularly and to those who sometimes just de-lurks themselves once in awhile!!
Without each and everyone of you I would not have continued this far.
My life has changed dramatically and I do believe I needed this to help me with personal issues as well as my weight loss. I find myself alone and although I must say I do have some great support home, nothing compares to the love I feel when I know people who don't know me follow my journey cheering me on.
When I started this blog, with my self esteem in the dumps, I thought no one is gonna care enough to come read this boring life. WOW, that could not be further from the truth.
So that's all the mushy I can handle for a Monday morning.
Once again thanks, I hope to hear from lurkers, my regular peeps who comment all the time, and most of all getting to goal with all my new blogger friends ;)

Feel great!
Holy macaroni I can't believe I am about to type this .... I actually jogged.
I am now heading to the car wash because I think my car is supposed to be white and not a beige shade. I will then head to the grocery store, I need food in my fridge.
Sadie sitting waiting for us to leave.(She is not social and is always off leash she listens very well so for her not exciting place to be)
OK I admit out of a 45 minutes walk I only jogged for like 8-10 minutes. I have never even went faster then leisurely walking. It was so invigorating and so darn hot. I guess at 25 degrees heat I should have maybe not decided to jog. My poor dogs were like WTF... What a great walk!
I now aim to build up more jogging power every little bit will help.

Here are some pics I took at the dog park yesterday. ( can you tell I scrapbook I'll take photos of anything!)

Buddy enjoying the dog park... Actually running around freely.( He's an escapee and always has to be leashed) So for him the park is paradise!

Nice Friday
Today is a day off for me! I get excited because I never have days off so this is wonderful.
Yesterday I screwed up my eating plan big time, but today is a new day.
I hope to get some exercise in today, on top of a little bit of shopping!
I think I am gonna meet up a friend for a doggy play date at the dog park. Maybe I will go walking in the park trails afterwards.
A funny little story, my coworker was telling me that a patient was in our office the other day and I walked in front of her. She waited till I was gone to tell her "Oh my God, she's lots a lot of weight. Is it just me or has she really lost a lot" To which coworker replied " No it's not just you, she lost over 100lbs" I guess the woman questioned what I was doing and that she could not believe. My coworker said her face was priceless when she was staring at me.
I find it funny that she would not come talk to me about it. I was still touched by that but it's always nice hearing it from them directly.
I am always touched when our patients notice and say something it has happened a few times . I feel like it gives me a boost.
I need to get ready for my day. I am gonna attempt the bathing suit shopping once again.... Wish me luck. I wonder if they have one in size Blubber?? I hope so! LOL

WI
I lost 2.8 lbs! I was so excited. I think I did really good and I need to stick to it for the summer.
I have found out the dates of a yearly convention for my work and it's in September. Now the big deal with that is... My old bosses get to see me once a year and I really want to show them I am happy with my new boss and I am finally taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle. I know it's show off... OH WELL. It's bragging rights I have!
My new total weight loss 118 lbs!!
All this weight loss may be because of the horrible heat weave we are in. it was close to +40 today with the humidity. Thankful for an air condition office!!

Doctors orders
Yesterday I went to the doctors. I had my 3 mth follow up. My blood pressure was a little higher then last time but still very low. I take two pills now : one water pill and another of 10mg. Well the one that was 10mg is now 5mg! I still take both and see her again in October to see how I'm doing. It's great news!
Although I ended crying when talking about my weight with her... I just want it to be closer to my goal and I'm a perfectionist for certain things. It frustrated the crap out of me that I am not very close to my goal by now. She said she was still very proud of me and that every pound off was an accomplishment. Even if it takes 3 years I am still doing great.She told me to go out and enjoy the sun in a new bathing suit.LOL
I don't have a bathing suit that fits this year ;(
Then I decided to go bathing suit shopping before heading into work... Well that was not fun and I stopped after one store. Do I really want to spend almost 100$ for something I may only wear once or twice this summer and then hopefully never again next summer?? I would love them to be on sale. I may check out a few stores on Friday.
I hope my WI is good tonight I need an energy boost!

Great Weekend
I actually had a great weekend.
On Friday as previously posted I drove up with a co-worker/friend to Halifax. We had tickets for a show. Naturally 7 is the band they are amazing. They are a vocal play group. All the instruments you hear are made by one of their voices. They are absolutely amazing. I had seen them before but not in a full show. My friend had goosebumps from the amazing voices. They put a really a good show. You should You tube them if you've never heard of them. Although I must say nothing compares to live.
I have a couple of pics of them on stage, none of us(forgot) and we got to meet them after the show. They are truly nice guys.
I did get WI on Friday before leaving, I had only gained 1.2 lbs. Oh well life goes on.
On the way there we stopped at her boyfriend's Italian restaurant I had a pizza and was stuffed all day. It was yummers!
I had a pretzel at 7 and that's it.... NOT GOOD. Under eating is not the answer but I truly was not hungry all day.
We left early Saturday morning... I am not a morning person so I did not eat or drink anything until I came home.
Yesterday,I overate and did not get to go out for a walk as planned.
Today I am doing much better I am caught up on sleep and am trying to get all my water in.
I have another short week... YAY!! I have Friday off again!
It's a great deal I made with my boss. Whenever he's off (golfing) I get to have the day off in lieu of taking a full 2 weeks vacation.
OOH I almost forgot my best friend called while we were on the way Friday .... She had her ultrasound Friday morning... She's having TWINS! She already has a 2 yr old son... She was in shock. I am excited, she did not know how to react. All she told the tech doing the ultrasound was " I guess I should have a bought a minivan instead" She just bought a new car and was debating whether or not to go with a van...LOL
Here are a few pics!
The whole group. Absolutely amazing.
The one on the left told my friend that at the beginning she did not look too sure but then he made her smile and knew she was hooked.LOL
He's my fav... first of all he does awesome electric guitar his voice goes so high... Then when we met them he's the one that talked to me the most. He was so flattering. He looks good and knows it but he's so down to earth. Actually they all are. They have a huge belief in God and so that keeps them align.Friday, July 4, 2008
No WI results, yet.
I did not go get WI on Wednesday I just did not feel like it.
I knew I had done poorly and that the scale would show a gain.
I may end up going to get WI this morning. I have the day off.
I am heading out to Halifax, about 2-3 hours car drive with a friend from work.
We are heading out to see a concert at a casino! I can't wait! I love music.
I hope we choose somewhere tasty for supper!
I am off to get ready!
Have a great Friday!!

Oh Canada!
Happy Canada Day!!
For those of you who aren't Canadian... Happy Tuesday!!
This means a great day off. It's suppose to be really nice and hot out. I don't know what the plans are maybe I will head down to my grandparents cottage to relax and enjoy some sun and sand! Maybe I'll just stick around the house.
I am not doing so well this week. I did not over eat but I did no exercise and used all my flex points... I am sure I will see a gain. ( especially with TOM around)
