Date night

Hubby and I had a great date night last night. I don't remember the last time we went out to dinner and a movie on a Saturday night together.

I think I did well with dinner. I had grilled turkey, a baked potato (no butter or sour cream) and broccoli. It came with a biscuit but I didn't eat it. I also brought my butter spray with me. Hee hee. Total nerd.

I brought snacks for the movie but didn't eat them. I was still very full from dinner.

And speaking of the movie: Holy freaking cow! We saw "Paranormal Activity". Scared the pants right off me. I love scary movies and for years "The Ring" has been sitting in number one for me as my favorite but not anymore. I screamed a few times and enjoyed every minute of it. I would totally recommend it if you like horror movies. But if you don't and get scared easily, then I wouldn't see it.

I'm glad I worked out yesterday but I was up late and slept in today and don't think I'm going to make it to the gym today. I may hit the treadmill later but we'll see.

Big fat maintain

Today is weigh in day and I didn't lose anything. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. It's a big fat MAINTAIN this week. Kind of annoying when I totally busted my tail to workout 4 times.

However there were a few days I didn't get in all my points so....that could have something to do with it.

This week I am going to do the same thing but make sure I eat more.

I know right? Who would think you would have to eat more to lose more. But I know my body and I know that if I workout a lot I have to eat enough to keep my body happy.

Our Salem trip has been canceled. My sister isn't feeling well and the weather is kind of crappy. So the hubby and I are going to go do some shopping, have dinner and then go see "Paranormal Activity" together later. Kind of like a date. lol

I worked out today. Saturday is not usually a planned workout day for me but I wanted to workout so I did it. 30 minutes of weights and then 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Made it

I made it through the day at work. Actually it ended up getting pretty busy and I didn't have to worry about eating towards the end of the day.

I even hit the treadmill when I got home for 60 minutes so I worked out 4 times this week for the first time in awhile.

Not sure if I am going to hit my goal of 239.8 by October 31st or not but I'm pushing really hard to do so.

I am hoping to workout (at home) tomorrow before we head up to Salem.

Also last nights "Flash Forward"? OMG! I hate endings like that. Now I have to wait to see what happens.

Struggling

Today is just one of those days where I feel like I could eat everything that is not nailed down. I am really struggling to stay on track.

It doesn’t help that there is pizza sitting in the break room.

Oh and a peanut butter cheesecake.

There is only so much sugar-free gum a girl can chew, right?

At least my car is running again.

And Salem is back on!!

Er excuse me?

Made it to the gym last night. Woohoo!! And I'm totally feeling it this morning. But I'm happy about that. Not sure if I will be able to get there tonight or not with our car situation but if not I plan to workout at home.

Something my co-worker said to me on Wednesday has been sitting in my head and bothering me. We happened to be discussing weight loss (one of the things we always talk about at work) and a couple of our coworkers in other offices have had lap-band surgery and she said to me "You should totally have that done". Er...what?! WHY would you say that? What makes you think I should do that? I told her "I didn't want to have that done" but I was kind of...well I guess the word would be offended? I know she didn't mean it to be because that isn't how she is but it's still bugging me now. I have NO PROBLEMS with people who have surgery for weight loss but that isn't for me. I know it can be done without pills or surgery because I can did it before and I will do it again. I just was surprised she said that to me. I'm happy for these 2 woman (and I think we have another person who had it but he isn't saying) and realize sometimes surgery is the only answer.

I think her comment totally made me bust ass more then usual last night because I was pretty drenched when I walked out the gym door.

Our plans for Salem, Massachusetts have been canceled do the fact that we don't have a running car. Boo!!

I am re-reading Jennifer Lancaster's book "Such a Pretty Fat" and totally recommend it to anyone who loves to read (like myself). I am snorting and giggly and laughing my way through it (again). We totally were separated at birth. Her sense of humor is spot on when it comes to mine. Ha! I can't wait for her next book.

TGIF!!

Pretty and Sparkly

2 people were fired at my work today. One that has been there for 7 weeks. The other for 7 years. Pretty scary. Neither worked in my office but still upsetting. Not sure if I mentioned that I was asked to be honest about issues that we had been having last week and me, being the ever so brutally honest person that I am, was just that. I hope that didn't help get someone fired but to be honest (ha ha) I don't think answering the phone and getting it to the right person/department is that hard. I did it for the first 9 months I worked for this company when I started nearly 9 years ago.

We still don't know what is wrong with our car. Right now we have a rental car, which costs money which we don't have a lot of right now but we need a car. Hubby's best friend offered to let us borrow his truck if we need that so we may be driving that if we don't get the car fixed soon.

Not sure what this means for our trip to Salem we have planned for this weekend yet.

I think my workout at home last night must have been pretty decent because I can totally feel it in my arms tonight.

I am enjoying being able to wear wedding ring again. It's all pretty and sparkly.
