I think I can, I think I can . . .

This is so ridiculous!!! I have spent so much money to have a trainer, and really I have nothing to show for it. I have been in the same place for at least the last 6 months. I went to two buffets with Josh yesterday! Going to the gym is not a problem...I love it...it's trying to break old eating habits that is the hard part, but even that is not so difficult. The difficult part comes in trying not to let food be a "social event". I don't want to eat out!!! And people everywhere keep asking me if I want to!! I'm a big girl and I can say no, but it's so hard when people are contantly asking if you want to go to lunch and stuff so that they have something to do that day. You don't offer heroin to a recovering junkie, and you shouldn't offer food to a food addict either! Where's the support. People just don't understand because everyone is also caught up in their own food addictions and their own issues. I'm tired of getting comments like "eating out won't kill you every now and then", "live a little", "you can eat right starting next week", "that's all you're going to eat", "oh I feel so bad for you", or anything else along those lines. Eating right is not a punishment!! You don't overload your car with oil or gas or anything else. You give it what it needs when it needs it. It's the same thing with your body...food is fuel for your body to move! And that's all. It is not a social event, it is not something you do for fun!!! And why is it so hard for everyone to understand, why is considered weird that I want to do what's good for my body in the RIGHT way, and why are people so unsupportive? Just leave me alone when it comes to my eating habits!!! Don't look at me weird...Don't say anything about it...and definitely quit asking me to go eat for a Saturday afternoon activity. I do so well when I'm by myself during the week, and as soon as I have to "do" some kind of interaction with other people...food is the number one priority!

Ugh...I'm just tired of this. I want to reach my goal. It's amazing to me how unsupportive people are when it comes to fitness and health. I have tons of support for trying to finish up school...but this whole fitness thing is actually a lot more important to me than that...and support? forget it. It's no where to be found...

hmmmmmm. i see your point, I'm engaged to someone who can eat anything he wants without weight gain. sux. he loves to cook but even more so he loves to eat at restaurants. add that to the fact that I quit smoking 6 weeks ago and that equates to the 6 lbs that now jiggle on me when I walk up the stairs, or whatever (if only i was taller)...

I'm banking on the jess & holly pre-dawn workout/gossip plan to get me over the weight gain hump and feel better about myself, have more energy, and motivate me to say "no I dont want the burger with fries I'd prefer the grilled chicken salad with dressing on the side and no cheese" when we go out to eat. why? yeah, i'm as vain as the next person but apart from that i've realized how integral exercise is to getting a good night's rest, being happy, and spawning a go-get em attitude.

tomorrow at 6am is my introductory personal trainer session. bring on the torture!

p.s. liz you look even better than before

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
