Day 22 - Eh I Skipped a Few Days

Wow, I have literally skipped a week, which means I broke one of my rules by not blogging about my day. Today I went all stop all day. I had a doctor's appointment last Friday, which went well. I had actually lost some weight! Yay. All of these arduous days at the gym are finally paying off and becoming a habit. Who knew? That said, I was invited to a friend's church, who then invited me to lunch, and then I was invited to dinner with other friends. I was gone all day and all I did was eat and drop money.

I wonder why fellowship is always about food. I would love to hang out with people without having to break my diet or spend money. I'm getting back on track tomorrow. Back to the gym and back on my diet (otherwise known as "lifestyle change"). 

Day 21 - Why Do I Watch This Show?

Turned in my paper today, attended class, etc. I also worked out today and ate at Subway. I'm trying to take a page out of Jared's book!

When I got home I promptly ate some red beans and rice that my wonderful husband made. Got on the computer and watched the 'Downton Abbey' season finale on my DVR. Matthew Goode guest starred on 'Downton,' so that was pretty exciting...all 2 minutes of his screentime. Seriously, you get Matthew Goode to guest star and you don't use him? 

Day 20 - Lower My Calories?

Forgot to bring food with me so I went to the cafeteria for a grilled cheese and a vegetable soup. It was surprisingly delicious.  Had another turkey burger for dinner. I have also been working out every. Still waiting for weight loss. I've been counting my calories, but I think I may need to lower my caloric intake, in addition to exercise. 

Day 19 - Starbucks Please

Sunday is my Starbucks coffee day. I had a skinny latte and the toddler had a large croissant. I am still finding pieces of the croissant in my car. It takes about a week to disappear. 

Day 18 - School, School, School

I had to work on a paper for grad school today. It's been exhausting. I enjoy school, but I'm so busy lately. I have a full time job, a little girl, a husband, school, church, and women's club. Looks like women's club is on the chopping block. I still have several years to go before I'm done with my studies. My husband took the baby to his parent's house for the day so I could get some work done. 

Day 17 - Lunch Fiasco

Today I had a turkey burger with onion strings. I was celebrating a colleague's retirement. We've had a snow week so a lot of people have been out of the office. One of my friend's was upset with us because we thought she didn't come into the office today, so we didn't invite her to lunch. Still not doing so good on my diet. Trying...trying...trying. 

Day 16 - Snowed In Again

Snowed in again. This time without heat or water. Baby and my husband went to the in-laws house keep warm. No firewood for the fireplace. Seriously, our ancestors are probably looking down on us, like "how in the world have you managed to survive this long?" He safely drove to his parents house on the highway, not that there weren't plenty of people trying to hit him. There was a driver going way too fast on the onramp who spun out perpendicular and hit a Uhaul truck. My husband was able to avoid him, but why do drivers do this? Why would you drive at excessive speeds during inclement weather? I don't understand.

I had to go to my dad's house to keep warm. I took my pooches to keep them warm as well. My inlaws don't let our dogs go to their house. My dad is on blood thinners so the house was a toasty 80 degrees. I would normally balk at this temperature, but I was just glad to be warm. My dad later needed cigarettes and soda...essential items, So we went to the drug store. I couldn't let him drive. He would have surely ended up in a ditch. Some Popeye Chicken later, everyone is now home, warm, and safe.
