Opinions, please!

I really need opinions on the H1N1 flu shot.

I am on the fence and really trying to figure out what I am going to do.

Please tell me what you all think, no need for a long debate, just looking for different outlooks.

Already Wednesday, yay!

Had a great weekend in Halifax, NS!

We went out for the show and then went to the Lower Deck for some music and booze.

Towards the end of the night we danced our little heart aways.

I did good food wise, did lots of exercise... which leads me to the next issue

I have a major ass blister on my foot from all the walking, standing, dancing in bad high heels :(

I am only now starting to walk back on it fully. Better to look good then be comfy when your out on the town. Yes I learned my lesson.

Here's a shot from the hotel bathroom getting ready.

I have been doing good all week but still not hard enough. I need that extra push that will really help me going.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Happy Friday

I made a kick ass supper the other night.

Inside scoop here: I am not a good cook, it does not come naturally to me. Therefore I never invite people over to eat. That's counting the new bf.

Wednesday morning I got up and decided to make my tried and true roast recipe, with the exception of putting it in the slow cooker all day. I had never tried that way. WOW! It was so good.

Now it's a great recipe for non-cooks like me, but it's not super healthy. It's loaded with sugar.

Roast
Onion soup mix
Ketchup
dark pop
Veggies
Potatoes
That's it!

I took pics but it ended up looking like something you would feet the mutts. It was super delish and bf loved it :)

I am headed to work for a short day, I am off to Halifax to see a amazing band called Naturally 7, check out YouTube if you can. They are 7 men who don't use ANY instruments, but their voice and I swear it sounds just like there is a full band.
This is my third time seeing them and I am positive that I will be amazed again.
We sleep there tonight, three friends and I , so it's a girl get away weekend. YAY!!!!

Have a happy Friday!

Meetings

Two weeks ago, I went with my mom to see what TOPS was all about. The one we went to were run by very elderly people(nothing wrong with old folks) just not very energetic. They don't have common sense to keep stuff private, all they wanted to do was talk about so and so twin girls. Nothing food related.
Longest meeting in my life.

Yesterday, we went to another TOPS meeting in a different location because we heard it was better and french. So we are bilingual we decided to try it.
Well it was better, but I was still bored out of my mind.
So on the way home, we were talking about it. I think in reality I am just not a meeting person .

When I was attending WW meetings I would be constantly thinking is this almost over... Although in the beginning it really helped me after like 6 mths I just stop staying for the meetings.
I can't imagine had I stuck around for the meetings for 2 yrs.

So now there is another option tonight. There is a woman who has meetings and WI today . I heard it was just the Canadian food guide and half price to WW. I'm thinking about going.

Maybe I am just not a meeting person, the stepping on the scale in front of someone else is enough to keep me accountable.

So the question is ... Do I join TOPS and pay 2$ a week only to get weighted in.?
Do I try tonight to see what that's like??
Do I bend over so I can get a virtual kick in the butt and start my good habits again, maybe even WI by pic and post it once a week.?
Very confused!

Monday chat

All last week the weather turned to cold quick rapidly. I had to scrape my car windows...Brrr!

At least this morning it's rain.

Did OK food wise on the weekend.

Bf and I went for a long drive. He's fun because he's not from here so I get to show him stuff that I did in my past.

We used to go to a creek to swim in a little waterfall when I was a late teen. It was so much fun. One of the best places hidden in the woods.

There is a lookout point, I had to keep reminding him that did not mean make out point...

Here are some pics of that. Not us making out but I got him to take a pic of me, not the most flattering.

Turkey Day

It's a day off with turkey dinner... YUMMERS!
I could reflect on why I am thankful, but I think I would just repeat myself from other posts.

Last night, BF and I celebrated our own little Thanksgiving our way. Chicken burgers, veggies, and potatoes. It was soooo good! He is a wonderful chef :)

Today we have the actual turkey dinner with all the trimmings with my grandparents and parents.

I was thinking these past couple of days. I want to organize a holiday card exchange. I had participated in one when I chatted on the WW boards. I love receiving Christmas cards and sending them, but in the last year it got a bit boring. Same people, family, vet and that's it.
Please leave me a comment that you would be interested or email me if you prefer. ( I know it's far away just wondering if anyone would be interested)

For my Canadian friends have a happy Thanksgiving!

Award time

Thanks to the beautiful Natasha for given me the award. It could not have came at a better time. It's time to face the truth and realize it's time to move forward again.

1. My father was a jerk when I was younger. Then he got divorced, got sick and now is a change man in some ways.... It's a little to late to know accept his I love you's.

2. I am a fashion critic. I hate people who wear their pj's to the grocery store. This makes me think everyone critics what you are wearing therefore I tend to try to look presentable even just at the corner store.

3. My initial reason for trying to lose the weight 3 yrs ago. Was because I knew guys did not date obese girls. I just wanted a man.

4. I am a follower. I so want to be accepted by everyone. Example. In my new job they go out to

eat once a week. Well the right thing to do was to eat my lunch that I had packed.... But nope I want them to like me so much I went out with them.

5. My first and only boyfriend was my ex. We were 17 yrs old. He was my first everything. Guys were not interested in the little chubby girl in school.

6. I don't keep friends... can't be bothered to make the effort. At this age it's even harder. They all have kids and married. The friends I did keep are close and dear to me.

7. I still have very low self esteem. Refer back to back to #1. My dad never hit my mother or I but did mentally abuse her and well was harsh on me. I still think I am fat and ugly. Do I look better at 260 lbs then I did at 360 lbs ...hell yes but still can't find good stuff to say about myself.

8. I don't poop anywheres but home or my mothers.

9. I think I could live without sexual intercourse.... I mean sure it's fun to tickle and play around there , but actual sex...nah I am happy without unwanted pregnancy lol ( I have a paranoia that even while on birth control pills I will get preggers)

10. I love my blog friends that stop in and encourage me even thought I may not have the best blog, the best pics, or the best weight loss results but it keeps me focused. Thanks to each and

everyone of you!

Edit- not sure why it's all glued together I tried fixin it... but blogger sucks donkey ass.

It restarts on Tuesday

OK so my refocus... is not back.

I ate horrible this week.

Pizza, mexican restaurant, and of course Mcdonalds.

The job got the best of me. I was overwhelmed, completely drained energy. So lack of motivation.

Now I am not throwing in the towel . I have decided that my mother and I are joining something together.

She has a friends that joined TOPS and is doing really well and it's cheap.

Which is perfect since my car needs major repairs, I need to save my money.

So that starts Tuesday, it's good to have someone come with me and I just need to be accountable to someone else. If that makes sense.

This weekend, bf and I took his son and went to a little place about 1 1/2 hour away.

They have a super cool corn maze and big playground for the kids. Here are some pics.
