GothGeek's Musings

Dear beloved reader,

I am SO SICK of there being #$%*(#$(%*#$% DOG HAIR ALL OVER THE #$%)(*#$%)(#*$% CARPET!

You know, I truly do realize that I don't *really* have to do that much with Washu. Take her out once or twice a day while +Kyle is at school...feed her afterward...listen to him whine about how I never pet her or want her around... But DAMN...

How I WISH he didn't love that bloody mutt so much. I suppose I could leave out the antifreeze sometime. (Oh come on, you know I'm kidding.)

Yes, dear reader, I even realize that she is not the source of my problem, merely a conduit through which annoyance flows easily. That, friend, is not the point today. The point is that I don't even want to have to look at her, much less take care of her today.

Certifiably yours,
D

Wellie... I've had a bit of a disappointment today.

+Kyle & I talked things over and he decided to be helpful with this as much as he can, so we got a scale last night. The last time I was weighed was at the clinic for that bout of bronchitis a couple months back. I was 180 then, and had been going on that information to do the WW thing. (I know, I know - not the smartest thing, but we weren't in a position to get a scale when I started - didn't figure I could swing TOO much in that time.)

Anyway, I weighed this morning, and what does the bloody thing say? 180... *sigh* It didn't occur to me that when I went to the doctor, I hadn't been eating NEARLY enough for nearly a month). When I got well, I resumed a fairly normal diet - and thus probably gained 5-10 lbs before even starting WW.

So here I am, at the weight I thought I was when I started. It's a little frustrating, but I still have all these clothes to prove some modicum of success. Thankfully, I've been within a reasonable point range for what I must have weighed a month ago. One thing is for sure, I'll be keeping track of actual weight now that I have the means to do so. ^_^ Still going to be trying on my too-small jeans every 2 weeks, also. That has been most helpful, mentally.

My weight goal is 130, which is on the heavier side of my range. (+Kyle was incredulous when he found out that I weigh 180 lbs and that I am going to be "only" 130. He honestly thinks that's too small. On my frame, it'll still be anything but small. I'd rather be 120, which is more mid-range, TBH. >_<) I stay on the program, but I'm inclined not to lately, so my MAIN goal is still just to go it a month at a time...heck, sometimes a day at a time. Don't know why I'm having so much trouble...must be stress setting in.

I press onward and forward.
