The Great To Do

It's almost time to leave to visit one of my bestest friends. She is getting married next weekend and I have so much to do before I leave to visit her. Thankfully, I am off today and will be able to get things ready before I have to work this week. So, needless to say, I will be busy, busy, busy :)

New Results

 My assessment went well. Since I've attempted to stop drinking soda (granted I've cheated a few times), I have lost 2 inches on my waist, hips, and chest. :) There are a few other details, but this is the one I love the most :) Though, as I kind of already knew, my abdomen is the largest, which is not very good for my health now and future health. According to the numbers, my abdomen is 1/4 of an inch smaller than my hips :) I don't mind. I'm learning to love my body shape. I may be getting smaller, but my shape will always remain. 

 

hit and miss

 Gotta love Thomas Cat

 I feel like I've been hit and miss with my blog here recently. I've enjoyed myself though. Spent some time my friend who has been in Australia, her sister, and her mother. We went swimming where they stayed and she took a pic of me looking super slim in my bathing suit. I will post it as soon as I can get it from her :) . Also, I now have a physical assessment planned this week. I will be excited to get a baseline for where I am now. I know it's still up there even after losing what I've lost :) I'll be happy to just get results so I can focus more in the months to come. Soon, I will be changing shifts so I will have a new eating pattern to adjust to. Though, this shift works best with my body and sleeping routine :) I'm getting very tired at the moment, so I guess I'll go. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 This weekend has been rather blah as far as motivation is concerned.
However, I did manage to clean a little and put up a new shower curtain :)

Sweet Drinks

Haven't been too disciplined this week. I had Wendy's Sunday night. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, a salad w/ ranch dressing and a root beer. Though, I am pleased to admit that the root beer wasn't all that great. I really don't care if I get it again as a fountain drink. Also, I had a super heavy Tudor's breakfast this morning. I ate just enough to fill me up and I already had a Simply Apple Juice, not from concentrate. Once again, the juice was sooo sweet in taste. I think my taste buds are actually adapting to not drinking the soda I used to :)

update

I just weighed myself on a wii fit. Even with my slip ups on soda, I have lost approximately 15lbs. Woot!!! This gives me motivation to keep hanging in there. Also, I went to the rec center I joined. It wasn't today, but Thursday night. I spent about 2.5 hours or so getting used to the place. I toyed with the assisted dip & pull up machine and finished off with 30 minutes on a bike set on fat burning :)

new plan

Alas, I drank soda this week. last week I had a diet Sunkist and a diet root-beer. last night I had a regular fountain drink. Now I must truly start over. :) Oh well, try and try again :)

Spring Cleaning... an understatement ;)

Thomas Cat

I've been hanging out at home today with one of my friends. She's been my moral support/idea bringer during my attempts to go through my room. I've been attempting to make conscious thoughtful decisions with my stuff. My overall goal is to increase more open space in my room and for it to be completely organized. Now and in the future, I want to be able to be able to remove the things in my life that bring me frustration and very little joy :)

My tiger ears I love to wear when I clean. 

I'm very pleased with my overall accomplishments in my room 

and it inspires me to push forward to get the rest of it done.

To be or not to be... incompetent

Sometimes I hate it when I think people think I'm some form of incompetent. I mean, why should I care? I have nothing to prove to them. I also hate it when people have issues with me and the issue doesn't really originate with my actions solely but the actions of others.

I despise the term vicarious liability. It pisses me off more than I can put into words. I have always chosen my actions based on the consequences and when I receive consequences as a result of others actions and some of my own, it seriously pisses me off badly. Also, it's especially worse when I am not even a supervisor. GRRRR.

Granted, I now know how adults sometimes treat the oldest child they have and I now completely understand why they get to the point where they do not care about their actions and the consequences.

Maybe it's a cop-out for not wanting to be responsible, but seriously I hate it all. I am responsible for me and that is it!!!! If this is what being responsible for others is, I want no part of it. I still don't want kids and after this week, I want  nothing to do with it!
