Good Monday Morning Friends!!
Ok....that's probably gonna be it for my chipperness....
DH b-day was good....movie was great....(althought I liked the first one better, this one was great too....can't wait for #3!!) dd6 fell asleep during the last 15 minutes....heck, it was 2 1/2 hrs long!!
the wedding was good. a REALLY hard shoot. smallish church....no center aisle....2 side aisles...for the group shots i had to stand on the pews, straddling them, and balance the camera on the monopod (tripod w/ 1 leg).
everything was good until Sunday morning...i couldn't walk. As of this morning, i'm 110% sure that i pulled a muscle in the back of my thigh....walking is painful, sitting is painful, moving is painful. but, that's part of the job!!
Gunner is doing great!! i still say we should have named him BOZO!! he's such a clown!!
ok....weigh & pay monday!!
sis#1 -(she actually called me this morning!!) 174
sis#2 - (she sold her house over the weekend....will talk to her later)
sis#3 - 159ish. yes, regardless of the thigh, i will be walking tonight.
ok ya'll, i have a confession to make....sit down.........
when my sisters were here (the second time) we all 3 went and had our ears stapled. it is supposed to be like accupuncture. it is supposed to ease the cravings, and make you "think" you're not hungry, or when you eat, that you not eat as much. now, have i noticed a difference? kinda....but then again, TOM was here last week, and i did NO walking. Do i think this is going to work? No...probably not, but if it motivates my sisters to stay on track, then i'll be a guinea pig and do it. the way i see it.....you eat less, you exercise, you drink water, you watch your calories/fat grams/carbs.....you will lose weight. yes, i know all of this, but do i do it....NO. Why? I don't know.
now, i could continue to whine and complain, or i can blame it on TOM, or the ear stapling doesn't work, or i need to go back on the diet pills, or I don't have time and i'm too busy, but in the end, it's all just a bunch of BULL. it's my own fault i'm not losing weight. it's my own fault i'm not in better shape. no one is shoveling the food in but me. no one is making me sit on the couch and not working out.
can ya guess that i'm fed up? yes, it's monday and yes, it's time to start over. i will continue to track mine & my sisters weights, but the only difference is.....I WILL MAKE IT WORK FOR ME!!
i know i've gotten 'BACK ON TRACK' about a dozen or more times, but this time, it's for real and it's long term. i feel like i'm making a new years resolution in July.....and that's ok.
do i start a new journal, or do i continue on this one....let me know what you think....."Marie's New Year in July Resolution"
either way...i'm done farting around on this weight loss....it's crunch time!!
