It's Official...

My body hates me. I ate well this week. I worked hard eating the things I should... avoiding the things I shouldn't... and I GAINED just under 4 lbs.

I decided I'm not going to get all bent outta shape. I decided I'm not going to get upset or angry. Something similar happened after I went on vacation for the New Year. I lost on vacation. Then gained the next week. I don't really get it. However, it seems to be a pattern with my body. So... feh. Next week I'll loose. If PMS doesn't kick my ass and make me retain enough water to flood the lake... *cough*

Yeah... I decided all that but ummmm... it's not working. I'm pissed. I'm annoyed. I'm disheartened. Imma go cry now. Then... eat pizza. *cough*

Bleh

We spent today at the baseball field. Opening Ceremonies were this morning. Shecky played in a double header. We lost both games. The kids don't play so well but my GOD was it entertaining. Heh.

Unfortunately, my daily eats weren't so great as a result. Today I ate:

Breakfast:

1/2 an Egg Scrambled
2 Slices of Bacon
2 Slices Bread and Fat Free Country Gravy

Lunch:

Taco Salad (Unfortunately it was VERY greasy and SALTY)

Dinner:

Boiled Crawfish (SUPAH SALTY)

I'm thinking about my salt intake today and now I'm DREADING weigh in tomorrow. /cry

What did you eat?

GAH!

Apparently Shecky has his first... errrrmmmm... ADMIRER.

One of the little girls in his class was watching him at Baseball practice tonight. She told him he did a "GREAT JOB!" (He has no clue what he's doing...) She also picked a wildflower and told him to give it to his mom... I... have... no... words...

Abject Terror...

What a way to start the day!

Have you ever had a moment of complete, untainted fear that brings a clarity the likes of which you experience only a few times in a lifetime? Yeah... I started my day with one today.

J called this morning when he got home from work. One of the people he works with is apparently, ummm... unstable. Mentally.

Night before last this guy went OFF on the lady that sits behind him. When I say went off I mean threatened to "Take her out" among other things.

Last night the dude was suspended for his behavior. No big... happens all the time, right? Well apparently Senior Psychopath came BACK to the workplace later in the evening ... with a gun.

This was all relayed to me WITHOUT one small piece of information. It occurred about 15 minutes before J arrived at work. Mr. Crazy McCrazypants was in a cop car when J arrived. There were still 4-5 police vehicles there at the time.

Needless to say, without that small piece of information my heart fucking STOPPED. I was hit with terror the likes of which I've only felt when my child or someone else I love is in danger.

Then it hit me... dude... J is FAMILY. Not by blood or genetics but by choice, by shared experiences and love.

J... I do love you, truly. However, if you EVER tell me a story like that without all the pertinent information up front, I'll kick yer ass myself. Heh.

Back In The Saddle Again...

Things are finally starting to settle into routine for us again. Shecky is back in school. I got his progress report and he's making all A's and B's again. Baseball practice has begun. Apparently, he's a left handed batter... he does everything ELSE with his right hang... Huh? Opening day for Baseball is Saturday and he
has a double header. God help us all. May it be quick and injury free.

I'm back to exercising and dieting regularly. I actually managed to LOOSE a pound over the last 3 weeks. During all the turmoil and ... well intentioned food... I managed to still loose. WOOT! I'm down 70 lbs now. I've lost 2 shirt sizes. My ass seems to be the same size though. Basta'd.

I promise I'm back now with regular posts. Hopefully more interesting than THIS one. Heh.

Things I ate today:

Breakfast:

Fresh Fruit Salad

Lunch:

A roasted chicken and cheese sandwich with 2% cheese, Fat Free Mayo and Honey Mustard.

Light Lays Potato Chips. (Less than an oz. Just enough to give my sammy some crunch.)

Dinner:

BBQ hamburger made with lean ground meat and light bbq sauce. 2% cheese, FF Mayo and regular mustard.

Oven Fries

Skim Milk
