Wednesday Randoms

[Deleted]

I had a 7am call so I'm up early and everyone at the beachhouse is still asleep. I want to go get breakfast!

I've decided I'm going to commit to the 21-day fix eating plan. Just using my own measuring cups and stuff, but clearly my way of eating has not been working. I'm so embarrassed by the amount of weight I've gained. I don't even recognize myself. I've got a good 40 lbs to lose. I'm going on a cruise in November and I want to feel confident in a swim suit. Last time I went on a vacation I felt horrible about myself and it pretty much ruined the trip for me.

@pdx18, I am sorry. Being a woman fucking sucks, sometimes. No one is ever going to look like society's ideal because the ideal is an airbrushed, non-existent lie. I'm leaving in about a week for a beach vacation and realizing it's too late to get in shape NOW. I'm nervous because I am going with a bunch of very in shape gay boys.

I convinced my old legal assistant to come with us on the trip and I am SO EXCITED! I GET TO SEE HER FOR FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS!

A friend that's also separated and I are going on a "Valentines" dinner date tonight. I'm excited to just bullshit and have a drink. I even dressed up, which, for me is just a dress, leggings and boots. OMG it's so comfortable - I feel like I wore no pants to work.

The button on my pants fell off in the wash so I used a clothespin to keep them up, and to keep the zipper from falling down. Every once in a while, depending on how I sit or lean over, the pin pops open.

ETA: a safety pin,not s clothespin. That would be weird, lmao!

I'm starting the 21DF soon. I'm waiting for SIL to get back from vacation so we can do it together. In preparation I've been making small changes to my eating habits and drinking herbal.ife shakes. I started at needing to lose 40lbs too. Its depressing but dwelling on it won't change it. We can do itttt!

abcdefu I love your positive attitude! I'm pretty excited about this. I'm just doing the meal plan and my running work out. But it seems pretty doable. Now the lack of wine...that could be an issue. I've already made my meal plan for this weekend and it looks really yummy

[abcdefu]

@pdx18, I'm glad you are planning and you are excited about your meals! I'm an emotional eater and have a horrible habit of skipping meals especially at work. That is where the nutrition shakes help me bc I can drink it at my desk or in a meeting. I'm not starving when I get home and ready to chew my arm off or kill someone! i try to cook healthy dinners in bulk so I only need to heat it up.

I started using my stationary elliptical bike thingy again and just go at my own pace. It has a comfortable seat on it so I gbcn and watch tv while pedaling! Lol

I gave up pop and fast food for Lent. I am not a practicing Catholic so I'm not sure why I am doing this. I think it spills over from when I was married to XH and he was, and still is, a practicing Catholic. I have never completed the full 40 days, but I'm really going to try this time because it'll also lead to a healthier me.

I don't seem to be learning to eat less in more frequent meals! Mad at myself. I need to carry snacks sound to curb my need to stuff my face, lol. Passing for it now.

I do it too. It's from my catholic school days but I am so far from remotely religious lol. I'm agnostic but I do it every year. Good luck! I've completed many times and it's really help take effect even after lent is over.

Did you hear anything on your glucose test yet?

Thanks! I'm hoping I'll make it and then continue on to at least reduce the amount of pop I drink. I don't drink it much at home, but I drink a lot when I go out to eat.

jigsy. How did the DTR go?

Could have been better...it didn't go quite like I hoped. But it also wasn't bad. We had some good conversation and we understand each others feelings better. He has something he has to take care of, and I'm giving him some space to do that - Which is a little scary, but its something I need him to do.

Time will tell what happens next, but I'm in a good place about everything.

How was that for vague-posting, lol. I know most, if not all, posters here would think I'm a dolt for giving it a chance, so I'd rather skip that song and dance.

She had scheduled it for next week and I wad told to eat mostly protein and veggies for ~4 days before.

I'm so pissed at these guests. Every time they leave the bedroom, they open it really loudly (no clue how they have managed to open it so loudly) and then slam it shut. So that's 4x for each time they go down stairs and back. It keeps waking me up in a panic and it's after f'n 11pm right now. I finally popped my head out and asked them to please stop slamming the doors and explained that it's waking me. Guess what she said? "Oh, we've been trying to get you to come out to let you know what time we are leaving tomorrow!" THEY WERE DOING IT ON PURPOSE FOR THE PAST FEW HOURS THAT I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP TO WAKE ME!!! WHAT THE EVER LOVING F.

I was so pissed that I nicely bit my tongue and instructed them on how to properly shut a god damned door, quietly. Of course they are staying until the last possible minute tomorrow. I will be shuffling their asses out at check out time. I'm betting they think I will be gone so they can leave at their own pace - HELL NO.

People are so f'n rude. Definitely a bad review for them. I've been trying to sleep since 8:30pm.

lol (((awkward hug))) well you probably read my post on ML that my convo went about the same. Not a definite no, but leaning more that way. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. Therapy appointment is next Friday, lol.
