It's Friday!!!

So, I changed the rules. Not because I wanted to cheat, but because it made more sense. I have lost 5 pounds just by not drinking, and I even ate chocolate and normal dinners with my family.
So, new rule-drinking on weekends only, and keeping it light.

Today the kids are off school and for some godawful reason I am watching Pokemon. I am about ready to declare Jihad on the tv set.

Things That Piss Me Off

Volume I:

When you make a decision that will help you to better yourself, and you ask someone to support you, yet they are too concerned that this decision will affect their life in a negative way so they don't back you up.

Case in point. I have stopped drinking for the week. I am fine with it, I miss drinking wine when I take a bath, but other than that all is good. HOWEVER - The person who is supposed to be my best friend keeps bringing up alcohol ALL the time. "Do you mind if I have a beer? I am going to have a drink, OK? I don't know what to do, I am bored, let's go to the bar, oh wait, that's right, you can't." CORRECTION- I CAN, I just choose NOT too. THEN- has the nerve to invite me to the bar with him just to hang out.

Now, is drinking really so important that you would rather tamper with what I have set out to do to feel better about myself just so YOU can have some fucking entertainment? It's just pathetic and pisses me off. So it leaves me with going to bed early every night and reading so I can be by myself and not get more and more pissed off.

WTF?

So as I said below, I am trying to eat right and exercise. We wont mention the third, it is too painful.

I need to lose this extra damn 15 pounds. I need to weight what I weighed for 5 years, and what my drivers license says. I don't want it to lie and I will be damned if I go in and change it.

So I am doing my squats and what should happen? My fucking knee goes out. WHY? I try to do everything right and it backfires... I should just give up now.

1 day down, 6 to go... Can I do it?

My 2 favorite things, wine and martinis are banned for 6 more days. I am tired of diet and exercise not doing a lot to help, and I am thinking it is my nightly "friends" that are doing it to me. So I have decided to test it for week with no alcohol, with exercise and a "sensible diet".

The last few days have been crazy with sick kids, sick me, and sick of cleaning.

Three Months and Counting....

If things work out right... for my 5th anniversary, we are returning to Vegas. This time, I know which hotel is my favorite, the Venetian. Plus, I think it will be super cool to be in Vegas for the 4th of July.

Day 4!!!

Day 4 of my diet. So far, so good. The only cheating I have done is drink wine (Um- it's not cheating if I drink it for medicial purposes is it? No? OK, medicinal purposes it is then).

Of course I don't have muh of an appetite right now, as I have been up since 2am with K, who woke up throwing up. We have a big garbage can next to the couch, which is getting a ton of use. She can't hold anything down, poor thing.

I have not been going to the gym this week, but have been spending a large portion of the day cleaning, and I think that is burning off quite a few calories. Yesterday I steam cleaned the downstairs carpets- I know- thrilling!

I AM SUPERWOMAN!!!

We have an extra refrigerator/freezer in the garage, but the handles were on the right, and when I park in front of it, it is very hard to access when my car is in the garage.

So, after waiting for months and months of my husband to switch the doors around so it can be easily accessed, I did it myself. It took a little over an hour, since when I put it back together I put the freezer part on first, although the refrigerator part was supposed to go on first so I had to undo some things.

I am quite proud of my accomplishment!
