Uhhh........

I really don't even know what to say. It's been day's since I've posted and so much has been going on. Ok not really all that much, just packing, having yard sales, trying to get rid of shit that we don't need and again just getting everything packed. I love to move to new places and start all over again. I just, however, hate the packing and moving part. It SUCKS!!  You would think with as much as I've done it in my life I would learn how to be better at it and to not keep so much uselss, needless shit, but as lass, I do keep it and I'm not any better at it. So of course, it's yard sale this weekend along with packing our ass's off. Then next weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) it'll be a mad dash to get it all finished up. 


Still trying to find a place up in Washington. It's hard to look from down here, though our friends are doing an awesome job looking for us. Only problem is money. They've found some pretty good places for decent prices, but everyone wants first/last/deposit plus usually an additional deposit for Skeeter. That REALLY starts to add up at $700 for each thing!!  I really don't know what we're gonna do. We'll figure it out of course, but now I'm starting to stress & worry about that. I really don't want to have to settle for a small place just to get into some place & cuz it's cheap, but it may be what ends up happening. Guess only time will tell.


My weight has been up and down. Fortunately this last Thursday it was down so that made me feel better. The other cool thing is that when it's been up lately, it's not been up drastically. More like .4 .6 or .8 which I can handle. Especially since I was down 1.2 on Thursday!!


Well I should get headed for home and help my hunny with the yard sale & of course do more of the packing thing. If anyone happens to stumble across the packing/moving fairly grab her ass and make her come to my house!!!  LOL!!

Moving......

Yes you read that right, I'm (we're) moving!!  If for some odd reason you've been stuck under a rock or something for the last week and haven't seen my Facebook posts......I'm (we're) moving to Washington!!  WooHoo!!  I'm so excited!  I've been wanting out of the area I live in for a while,  but just couldn't seem to figure out how to get it done. Then a job happened to fall in my lap and well I couldn't pass it up!!  :)  June 1st will be my last day at Jack's. Then the morning (very early morning) of the 2nd we will be on the road to Port Angeles Washington baby!! Time to start a new adventure with a great man by my side. The same man who also gave me a promise ring for my birthday...YAY!!   He is so good to me and I love him so much :)


Not much else going on in my world right now. Just packing for the move. Stressing about the move. Stressing about money for the move. Etc, etc, etc......  Which, I hate to say, is also effecting my eating. I weighed in on Monday and had gone up .8 lbs. Not bad, but not great. Now the problem is we're trying to eat as much of the food we already have in the house over the next few weeks so we don't have to get rid of some much. What does that mean for me eating healthy??  Means I WON'T be eating healthy. Well at least not as healthy as I'd like. I can still pick and choose what I eat, but there may not always be good things to pick from. I'm hoping that from all the packing and moving that that'll help me keep some of the weight off. Also I'm drinking water like it's going out of style! I do think that once I get to Washington, get started in my job and get settled I'm going to check in joining Weight Watchers. I've talked to a lot of people who really like it and says it's done wonders for them. I figure what have I got to lose!


I do wish I could find some damn motivation though. I don't know where mine has gone, but it's not here with me anymore. I go home after work and all I want to do is eat a little dinner, watch a little TV and then go to bed. Not a great combination when your trying to lose weight and when you've got a house to pack. Oh well, sooner or later it'll come back. Just hoping it's sooner rather than later.


Hope everyone is well. Gonna miss everyone here in Idaho, but so looking forward to reconnecting with everyone in Washington :)

Well damn.......

What was an awesome amazing weekend led into a crappy Monday morning. Though I'm guessing my awesome amazing weekend is why I had a crappy Monday morning. This morning was weight in for me and it wasn't good. I gained back 2 of the 3.2 lbs I had lost last Thursday. I know I can sit here and make excuse's because it was my birthday and I drank a lot and I didn't eat well at all. Rather than make excuses and say it could have been worse (which it could have) I'm gonna say, I screwed up. It's totally my fault. It WAS my birthday and I went out and had an amazing time. I drank what I wanted and pretty much ate what I wanted all weekend long. I would like to say though that most time's I was trying to think far enough ahead that I tried to eat better other times. Like Saturday morning and Sunday morning. I new Saturday night I wouldn't eat well so I had a good breakfast. Same for Sunday, I knew I had eaten crap Saturday night so I had no carb's till Sunday night at dinner. All in all though I did this and I've got to own up to it. 


So my goal for this week is to have those 2 plus plus at least 1 more gone by my Thursday weigh in. I know I can do this. I've just got to put my mind to it and do it!!!


Back to my birthday though.......IT WAS AWESOME!!  I had an amazing time!!  My hunny got me a purse for my birthday as well as gave me a promise ring. I love him so much!! :)  We went blacklight bowling (Spectra bowling), went and got my free beer from Boo (Brannen's sis that works a bar some evenings) and ended the night at a local hang-out in Twin. There wasn't a lot of us, 6 in all, but we had a great time. Those 5 people made my birthday an awesome night for me and I'll never forget that or them. I love you guys!!!  :)


Now back to the real world of work and life....LOL!!  Got some major changes coming up soon. Keep checking back as I'll post details soon.


Later!!

It's all good!!

Wow!!  That's all I can say. Things are finally starting to go a little better. Still lot's of craziness and lot's to figure out, but I think we're finally headed in the right direction.


Weigh in this morning was awesome!!  I'm down 3.2 lbs!!  WooHoo!!  Now in all reality that's not all that great, because it's all the weight I had gained back over the last couple of weeks, but you know what......I'm considering it a win!!  I was so stinkin happy to see the scale go down this morning. Now I just need to keep it going and not let it go back up. 


As for other area's of my life.....got some major decision's to make. Lot's to think about and lot's to talk over with my hunny. We've got to decide on this together, but if it goes the way I think it's going to......there is going to be a move in our very near future :)  I'll keep you all posted. Just don't want to say too much right now until everything is a little more set in stone.


Well time to get back to work. Later y'all.....

Yuck.....

I'd love to be able to start this blog by saying I'm down pounds and am feeling great. I'm not, in fact I'm up. Not a lot, but enough that I'm not happy with myself. Yes I know Easter was on Sunday and we all indulged some, but in the end it boils down to the fact that I'm not doing what I should be doing. Yes I'm eating better on a daily basis, but I'm still not getting the exercise in like I should be. It's happening very rarely if at all which isn't ok. In order for me to start losing the weight I want to lose I've got to get my ass in gear. I'd love to have a treadmill at home, but just can't afford that right now. There is a little gym in the little town I live in that I keep meaning to join, but of course that hasn't happened either. I'm such a procrastinator at times or some things. I need to find my motivation fast and soon!!

Easter was good. Grandma came out and I cooked for the 3 of us. It was really nice. I cooked my first ham ever and it turned out really well. I was pleased :)

Work is work, as always. Some days are better than others.

I'm starting to not like this area I live in more and more. I'd love to move, but of course that takes money & money I don't have. Brannen is working on finding a new job and I'm hoping that maybe by the first of next year we can get moved outta here. Where are we going you ask?  Hell if I know!!! LOL!!  When the time comes and it becomes real then I'll worry about it. Some day's Washington seems good, then other days moving back to Georgia seems like the thing to do. There's always those time's when I want to just go some place completely new or just go wild and move to the Keys!!  :)  Day dreams I know, but hey it's what keeps me moving.

Well I believe that it's for today. Here's to hoping I find my motivation to lose weight and eat healthy soon. I'm tired of being this way....

Well crappy

So as I figured would happen my weight went up this morning. I'm back up 1.8 lbs. I guess it could have been a lot worse, but at the same time it never should have went up at all. Considering what I ate yesterday though......well I'm just glad it wasn't up any hire. Monday though I'm so gonna kick some ass and see those numbers came back down!!

Today has been and interesting day. Work has been surprisingly well, only a few minor mishaps where I have wanted to kill someone, but thats normal....LOL!!  What is really getting me today though is to realize how rude, inconsiderate, and just flat out dumb people are these days. I have always tried to see the good in everyone, I really have, but anymore that's not an easy thing to do. The sad thing is I'm not just talking about people I don't know, but about people I do know as well. Maybe I'm just getting to old to play all the stupid mind games or what ever other stupid games people are playing in general.

On a better note I finally found a head board for my king size bed and they only want $50 for it....score!!  I'm so excited. Now all I've got to do if find a pick-up to borrow to be able to get it picked up and then make a trip to Costco for a frame. I'm so excited to finally have my bed up off the floor!!  WooHoo!!  :)

One last thing.....any of you who are Jimmy Buffett fan's....Florida has made this Saturday, April 16th, Jimmy Buffett Day!!!  I love it!!!  Just wish I could be in Florida on Saturday to enjoy all the fun  :)

One more day to go, then the weekend begins! YES!!  :-)

Craziness.....got it covered!

So it's been awhile since I've posted, with good reason. The last 2 weeks of my life have been pure craziness and I loved every minute of it!!  LOL!!  It all started when my niece, Katrina, came to stay for her spring break. I loved having her here and missed her greatly. We did the sight seeing thing and just spent time together, it was great!! She is crazy and spastic, but I love her. Then the following Saturday my friends from Washington, Tab & Jason, showed up for a visit. YAY!!  No sooner than they got here we all loaded up and headed for Salt Lake City to the George Strait & Reba concert. Let me just say.....AMAZING!!  I love George anyways so in my eyes his concerts could never be bad  ;)  Some others friends of ours from here in Twin went with us as well. I really can't think of a better group of friends to go see the concert with :)  Thank you Tab, Jason, Tyrel, Ashley and my hunny for making it such a special experience. 


Katrina was then picked up by her mom Sunday morning at the hotel then it was back to Idaho for the rest of us where the party continued well into Sunday night ;)  LOL!!  I love it with Tab & Jason come to visit!!! Anyways they finally headed home Wednesday about mid-morning and I've been trying to get my schedule back in place. It's taking awhile but we're finally getting there.


Needless to say over the last 2 weeks my eating healthy has lacked, to say the least. I went up & never down, but when I weighed in this Monday morning I was back down to where I started before Katrina got here. I had packed on 2.6lbs in 2 weeks. Considering....not too bad, but not great. I was just so happy to see the scale back done Monday!!  Tomorrow though will be the true test. I've been eating pretty good all week and was even able to get in a walk last night. A short walk, but at least it was something. Don't imagine I'll be getting a walk in tonight though as we're in the middle of a thunderstorm. I'm so not going to complain though, cuz I love listening to the thunder and watch the lighting  :)  It doesn't happen much around here anymore. Always seems to be just rain, dreary nasty rain. So I'm am going to enjoy my spring storm while I can.


Ok, time for this girl to get back to work!!  LOL!!  Hope everyone is well. I love you all!

Blah Blah Blah

This is just gonna be a quick post. I'm just not feeling it today. I am so ready for it to be the weekend!!  I weighed in this morning and went back up .8 lbs which isn't as bad as it could have been. Over all I'm still down from last week. Just wish I wouldn't have gone up, but oh well. Just gotta get it back off. 


It's been a busy week so far and because of that I haven't gotten much sleep. Let me tell ya tonight is going to be a very early night for this red head!!  LOL!!  I'm hoping for 9p but as long as it's before 11p I'll be happy. I'm so tired today my eyes hurt & they feel all gritty. I hate when I get like this. 


Yep I think that's gonna do it for today. Later ya'll!!!!

Happy Hump Day.....

So things are going ok right now. I weighed in on Monday and I lost 2.2 lbs since last Thursday!!  WooHoo!!  I'm so excited :)  Just hoping that I can keep it up. I've been trying really hard to get better about my eating. I weigh in again tomorrow (I weigh in every Monday & Thursday) and I'm hoping to see more pounds lost. I finally got my Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook bought and I can't believe all the amazing recipe's that are in it! We're going grocery shopping tonight and I'm going to start stocking up. Even Brannen said a lot of the recipe's sound good, so that means he's eating them with me ;)


Finally got the car all fixed. So nice to have it back. Cost me roughly $370, but I just keep telling myself that it could have been a lot worse. So glad it wasn't and that I work at a tire shop with a mechanic ;)  Makes things a lot cheaper that way!! Speaking of work, it's gotten kind of weird lately. We've lost a total of 4 guys in the last 2 months (not that I'm complaining about 1 specific guy,I won't miss him at all). Which means there are 4 new guys here. When you only have a total of 10 people working here, including me, thats a lot of new faces. I came to work Monday morning and it felt like my first day all over again. Only this time I know what to do, but just don't know any of the people working here. I do miss my guys though that have left. Just glad that I get to see most of them on a pretty regular basis.


Can't wait for Friday to get here. My neice (well she is like my neice) is coming to spend her spring break with me & I am so excited!!  :)  I haven't seen her since she was 12 and she is now 16 going on 17 in June! Holy Crap!! I feel so old....LOL!!  Anyways, I'm excited she's going to come stay with us. Gonna take her to Boise to do some shopping and take her out to eat. I'll have to work most of the time she's here, but some days I'll take off early and am gonna take off next Wednesday completely. That way I can take her sight seeing and just spend some good time with her. I so miss having her closer!


Well guess I should get back to work. The boss is gone for the rest of the week which makes things easier around here, but I do still need to actually do something....lol!  


Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!

It's an ok day

This is gonna be a quick post as I'm at work and the boss is at lunch...lol ;)  Weigh-in wasn't too bad. I went up .6 lbs, but considering Aunt Flo decided to visit & we took Gma out for Italian food last night I'm not gonna complain!!  :)


The vet called and said Skeeter's lip is all stitched up & good to go, so I just need to pick him up this evening. I'm glad about that. I didn't want to have to keep unhooking it from his teeth.


The part for my car that was suppose to be here today won't actually be here till tomorrow now. At least it'll be fixed before this weekend though. Can't wait!!!


Well all things considered so far it's not been too bad of a day. Just ready for it to be done so I can go home and relax for a night. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!  

Its only hump day?

It's been a interesting week already. Skeeter (my big kitty that most of you know) came home yesterday morning with his tooth stuck thru his lip from fighting. Yes, his tooth was stuck thru his lip! So I lock him in the bedroom & we head to work. Once there I call & make an appointment for 3:30. I get to the vet's office & explain to them what I think has happen to which they look at me like I'm crazy until they took him from his pet carrier. It weirded the tech out & the vet himself actually says to me ("I've never seen anything like this before!" So I'm thinking *awesome! Leave it to my cat to weird out the tech & stump the vet* So anyways they get to looking & realize that not only is his top tooth thru the lip, but his bottom tooth pierced it when he closed his mouth, so now he has 2 holes in his lip. They get it all figured out & give him a shot & send me home with some antibiotics. Well that was all & great til we get home & he licks his lips causing the lip to slide right back over the damn tooth!!! Oh yay!!! Needless to say I figured out how to get it undone with a tooth pick & he is now back at the vet for stitches tomorrow. Gotta love animals!!!

Weigh-in in the morning. We took Gma out for Italian tonight so not sure how its gonna go, but we shall see. I subscribed to Hungry Girl's emails & have gotten some good tips & some good recipes. At least I feel like I'm finally getting on track with my eating. Now I just need to get the.exercise thing down....lol!

I'm still waiting to get my car fixed. The part is suppose to be in tomorrow so hopefully I'll be driving myself home in my car, not that I haven't enjoyed riding with Brannen, but it'll be nice having my car back. Especially for the weekend. Ok well I think I'm done for tonight. Happy Hump Day everyone!

My first of many posts.....I hope

I'm not sure how often I'll post, but my friend Holli has kinda inspired me to this :) She's so amazing & she has started her own bog to track her year of losing weight. I'm not sure I have the same dedication that she does, but I'm sure gonna try! Love you Holli. You truly are an inspiration to me.

So while this blog won't be just about my weight journey, but more of just what's going on in my life. Kind of as a release. Also everyone needs to know that most posts will be from my phone so sometimes there will be typos & I apologize for that now.

Well I think for tonight this is going to be if. I would like to say though that when I weighed in this morning I was down .2 pounds :)
