What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. 😄 I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
I wish I could help. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'll join you in that corner with some birthday cake and a few tears here and there (and I'll bring a sledgehammer for the scale). I have no words of advise, but really, I don't think you're looking for any. I think you just need to vent and know that you're supported no matter what. I'm thinking about you, friend, and hoping that this is a very special weekend for you. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm bringing my Wham! hit list on my ghettoblaster. I have a "choose life" t-shirt, neon yellow socks and those little rubber bracelets madonna made so famous - just for you. We get all done up and do those crazy eighties moves we always wanted to do! We are stylin' and rockin'. We take a polaroid pic for posterity! Hoping this cheered you up! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the gun for shooting the scale?! That stinks to high heaven with all the work you have been doing. I've got the same stupid mental block when it comes to increasing my calories consumed; just haven't been able to do it either. Something has to give eventually, just don't know quite what it will take. Giving up is not an option, though; wish I had some brilliant words of wisdom to offer, but I'm fresh out. I hope knowing you're not alone helps a little.
ReplyDeleteI've typed and erased several messages now. I typed and erased a version of "sorry". I've typed and erased a version of "you can do it" and I've typed and erased a version of "there is an ass-kicking brewing on the horizon". None of them seemed quite the right thing to say. So maybe I'll just stick with Happy Birthday and I hope (and feel) that things will go better this week!!
ReplyDeleteYou know I am not one to blow roses up your butt, so I'm gonna shoot straight here:
ReplyDeleteDamn it. Eat more!
Trust me, it's the only way I lose weight. SP ranges (or wherever you get your ranges) be damned. Add 100 calories a day. And you have to do it for at least three weeks.
I DARE YOU!

I have to agree with 'mel' on the whole eat more. As hard and absurd as it sounds, it usually works. I've struggled with it personally, and it works. I hope you can come out of the fetal position long enough to enjoy the celebrations this weekend! hang in there Mrs *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteAS far as eating more calories... is the problem raising the calories of a meal? If it is why don't you add in a healthy smoothie somewhere into your day? Or high calorie (but healthy) snack? A couple ounces more protein? Maybe you should add a good stiff cocktail to the end of the day? What the heck... just start before lunch!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I just so feel for you! For wahtever it is worth, I'm rooting for you, and I know you'll get there!

ugh. how frustrating for you.
ReplyDeletei would say MORE calories. FUEL FOR THE FIRE!
Once you get used to a certain calorie range, it can be difficult eating over it. You feel guilty for going over it, and the fear is that you'll end up gaining instead of losing because eating more to lose weight just sounds wrong. (No matter how much science they have backing the idea up.)
ReplyDeleteLittle things add up. We learned that when we were learning how to cut calories. So add an extra pat of butter to the veggies. Or add an extra scoop of protein powder to a smoothie. Little stuff that doesn't make you feel like you're eating a bunch more food was easier for me to do than just adding a big thing. Just a suggestion that might work for you too.
