Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

Ant life grand?

Don't really have much to report other than we're dealing with a minor ant infestation...


All of the contents of our pantry are on the cutting board sized countertops.  I realized that after I shattered a ramekin with the shards potentially going into my tuna fish and all over the floor.  I calmly grabbed the broom, swept up the shards, threw away the tuna and grabbed a bowl of cereal.  I set out the Terro ant traps (which ALWAYS take care of those bastards) and left the kitchen.  (affiliate link)

More crap after that so yeah...it was a great Wednesday. 

(dripping with sarcasm)

Anyone else got anything poopie to share?

  1. They're so tiny it's hard to imagine you could ever completely keep them out of just about anywhere they want to go. Also, it amazes me how a pantry can get so many tiny crumbs on the shelves. It's not like we prepare food over it or something. It's just the act of grabbing items, getting what you need from it and putting it back that somehow manages to add crumbs over the course of a few years and boy those tiny ants love it!

  3. I live in Florida, and with all the rain, we now have carpenter ants all over the house and also Palmetto bugs in the garage that will sometimes sneak into the house. And spiders, did I mention spiders? I hate Florida.

  4. My husband has shingles and we have rabbits multiplying in our backyard at an alarming rate. It kind of looks like they've called a town hall meeting as they sit around the trees and then chase each other for the "romance."
