Hello everyone…
its been a while since I’ve logged on and I’m VERY sad to admit that I’ve been doing HORRIBLY with eating right and exercising, so I have decided to come back and try again.
I know that the only thing holding me back is myself, and I’m tired of that so its…once again….time for a change :]
I now have a 24 hour fitness gym membership which I plan to utelize more than I have been lately.
Like I said, I haven’t really been eating too well, but this past week or so, I’ve found myself craving fruit.
Lots of fruit.
I need some help, though.
Does anyone have any good tips that could help me out?
I’d really appreciate everyone’s input and support.
Thanks guys.
Ciao!

Ok, so I haven’t been on for a while, but I had to stop by & let you all know about the fabulous new chips that I have been snacking on.
They are called Flat Earth Impossibly Good Baked Veggie Crisps.
They taste just like your average cheesy pringle, but in every ounce, you get a half serving of vegetables in.
They are fantastic.
I like the Farmer’s Cheddar.
Seriously…I say everyone should try them!
I got them at Target & they’re a little more expensive, but seriously…they’re worth it.

Also…four weeks & counting m&m free!

It is now 14 consecutive work days m&m free!
Its fabulous
My friend, Violet, & I have made it a habit of sharing food lately…
We shared breakfast at the breakfast meeting last week, yesterday we went to the store & shared a turkey & swiss sandwich and each had one of those all natural fruit rolls from the fruit section.
This morning we shared a banana nut muffin.
It was delicious!
I’d never had one before, but it was so good!
Thanks Vi!
Anyways…today is Nick’s first day of work.
He’d been looking for a job for a little less than a year and he is now a Long’s employee
Long’s pays pretty well & it includes benefits, such as health care, which is good because he needs some dental work done.
Which reminds me…I need to go get a filling fixed.
Anyways…how are you guys doing lately?

13 days m&m free.
That is truly an accomplishment.

Another one would be not beating the crap out of this girl I know.
As you all know a friend of mine passed away on Wednesday night.
This stupid girl I know who has only met him maybe twice is going around telling people about how close they were and how she’s “trying to be okay.”
It disgusts me.
When I was in the 11th grade, a football player at my school died from an injury recieved in the game.
The next day, there were news teams covering it at my school.
When I was walking around, I heard some kid say “I dont care about the guy who died, I just want to be on tv!”
Now, I didn’t know the player who had died very well, but I was offended by this ignorant kid.
It is so disrespectful of these people to go around and do things like that.
There’s nothing I can really do about it without looking like a jerk except just let it go and that sucks.
A lot.

What do you guys think?

Last night a friend of mine passed away.
His cancer had finally killed him.
He was only 22.
Every time a person passes, everyone who knew them always says “I wish we could have spent more time together.”
Brian and I spent the perfect amount of time together, but I wish he’d had more time to spend.
He was a good guy.
Always happy, always glad to see people.
He would give me a big hug every time he saw me.
That is something I will miss.
I can’t regret anything, he wouldn’t want that.
Its hard to cry because I know he wouldn’t want that either.
He wants me to smile and be happy that his pain is gone, that he is alright again.
He loved cars and racing, he’s probably having a blast where ever he is.

So yesterday was a pretty eventful day.
We had our monthly company breakfast meeting where we all meet and have breakfast on the company. I sat next to my friend, Violet, and we decided to each get a breakfast & share it. I got an omlette and she got a waffle so we each had half an omlette and half a waffle. It was sooo good!
As you all know, I also got the boss’s wife to say “good job,” which was nice
About an hour into the workday, my co-worker & I got into an awful argument, but about five minutes after it happened, I got an email with an apology. I had kept asking her to just stop and go away, but she’d stop for maybe half a second and then turn around and come back, fueling the fire. Oh well.
Also…the best news of the day…Nick, my boyfriend, had been looking for a job for little less than a year, but yesterday we found out that he got the job at long’s! Very exciting! My mom bought him a cake in celebrationg and his mom took Nick, his two brother’s, his brother’s girlfriend, and I to Black Angus for dinner. It was fabulous.
To make the day even better, I am now 11 days m&m free! Woot woot!

I have finally got the queen bee bizatch to say “good job.”
Heh.

<3

So.
Today is now nine consecutive work days m&m free. I told my boss’s wife this and you know what she says?
She goes “oh. freaky.”
What? uhm…right. I guess.
I guess its because I usually eats so many that its ‘freaky.’
What the hell ever.
Now, because she said something dumb like that, I’m going to prove her that things can get even weirder by not eating a single bad thing in front of her.
Heh.
I just suppose we’ll just have to see.

Ugh…ok, so this morning, I was running a bit late because of the whole ring thing. I’d been trying so hard to get it off, that I didn’t have time to make a lunch for work, so during my lunchbreak, my mom and I went to Walmart. Most Walmarts have a McDonald’s in them, but this one has a Subway, so I decided to get a sandwich. I had a six inch turkey & provolone sandwich, no mayo, on wheat. It was delish and totally hit the spot. Now, however, I feel like total crap. My stomach hurts, my head hurts, I just want to go home. Ugh, gross.
I think that has totally deterred me from fast food altogether.
Ever notice how you feel like spitting all of your food back up again after you eat it?
I do, especially when I eat McDonald’s.
That stuff is so gross and nasty now that I think about it, but at the same time, it just tastes so good.
Damn grease.
Whatever.

Ever since my buddy, Debbie, wrote of her mouse in the creamer story, I have been imagining mice or roaches crawling around in almost everything.
I even caught an image of a mouse swimming in the mayo at Subway or in the grease-covered stove at mickey d’s.
Disgusting.
Want to know something else that’s totally nauseating?
I opened the freezer this morning to get a piece of ice for my hand and found thousands of dead, frozen ants.
I literally gagged.
Nasty!
Good thing I just bought a lunchbox!
No way I’m using that freezer anytime soon!

Anyways, I’m well on my way to being 8 days m&m free!
I just need to get through this next hour and a half and I’m home free!
Yes, as a matter of fact, I will be patting myself on the back for that one, for that is a huge feat for me.

Well…
until next week

Ok…so my fiance gave me this ring that his dad had given to his mom when he proposed to me a couple of months ago. This ring was pretty small, but the other night, I put it on and it actually fit my finger. Needless to say, I was so excited, I’d been wanting to wear this ring ever since he’d given it to me.
Well…this morning, I woke up and my finger was HUGE. Swollen and turning blue, it sucked. My mom had told me that when you sleep, you body temperature rises, so I stuck it under some cold water and waited, but it would not come off. When my mom picked me up for work (we work together) and she had me hold her ice pack on my hand the whole ride there and when we got to work, she held it under the faucet, used lots of soap and wriggled it off. Man, that sucked.

Oh yes…7 days m&m free! Woot woot!
I’m  going to keep a daily update of all of my m&m free days.

Anyways, I do embroidery and today I am going to attempt digitizing for the first time, wish me luck.

Oh yes…and I went totally hardcore yesterday by eating a spinach salad for lunch, only it was just plain spinach leaves. I told my roommate that and she was like “oh wow, you’re crazy,” haha. It actually wasn’t that bad. I figured I had to make up for my two pieces of pizza I’d had for dinner the night before.

I’m feeling good because usually when I try to eat right, I begin to crave things like chocolate, burgers, ect, but this time, I haven’t wanted any of that kind of stuff at all, except of course, for the pizza, which was delish by the way.

Anyways, thank you, as always, for the great support & comments. I appreciate it all
