Monday morning...back to the salt mine

7:15 AM Tukiyooo 0

Note:  I'm working today not really because I have to, it actually is a holiday at my company. Technically I do have the day off. However, today is my code complete date for a project I've been working on...you know, the one I've been complaining about so much lately. Alpha testing starts tomorrow with all our testers. I'm just doing some final  unit testing, hoping to get it as bug free as possible. I should have come in Saturday or Sunday instead, but I was too lazy. :) It's 7am, and I'm in the office today. Alone. It's so quiet, peaceful. I almost wish it was like this every day. I work in a cubicle, with about sixty other people on my floor. We're the epitome of the movie Office Space. Want to see... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRXxbsupBkIFCZanjA-3JBudlc1KwwPu62g5aWbvqKqoCve92a4AwmETtojzYmykAnGkzbUF-A-G3aYd1iGDD2S7bbnQbMgaqCstbfhajH5jYvJ-cZrOuwsCyAgEgOvYx-INkNLt6dLoJ/s1600/IMG00994-20100906-0658.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRXxbsupBkIFCZanjA-3JBudlc1KwwPu62g5aWbvqKqoCve92a4AwmETtojzYmykAnGkzbUF-A-G3aYd1iGDD2S7bbnQbMgaqCstbfhajH5jYvJ-cZrOuwsCyAgEgOvYx-INkNLt6dLoJ/s320/IMG00994-20100906-0658.jpg" /></a></div> That's my "I don't care what I look like" hair. I'm also wearing workout clothes so I can go the gym later. I'm going to the Bally's in Kent. I've never been there before, but it's about an 11-minute drive. It'll be a nice break to get out of the office for a while during what I think is going to be a grueling day. Here's what the floor looks like when no one is here: <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYVliYqKayroVnUGje6BpCTF4Y3a8C9GRRv7EPboRHNMB72Nn5Zhuv_3FsneC4X2WL__LJwdSg5li43t2Sd_Qh0DrADMFTcQS4IFED4RysNrz0L7YmlSea_oRAGVIMPS-F2SspZGqhwrq/s1600/IMG00995-20100906-0703.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNYVliYqKayroVnUGje6BpCTF4Y3a8C9GRRv7EPboRHNMB72Nn5Zhuv_3FsneC4X2WL__LJwdSg5li43t2Sd_Qh0DrADMFTcQS4IFED4RysNrz0L7YmlSea_oRAGVIMPS-F2SspZGqhwrq/s320/IMG00995-20100906-0703.jpg" /></a></div> Here's the view outside the window.

I feel like a cowgirl, just got back from the rodeo! ;) More about that later! Started off my Sunday with NO alarm clock! Kyle and I spent our morning putting away our tailgate stuff and cleaning. Before heading to the grocery store I had 1 c watermelon for 1 point. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sgxvYnQqrUe33O6rx-_yrnElay0BRWIYqnzUszLgsXe1OSsxm37ij7bJEdB5G5cr37_6OnXAcekkPJVcfFcevWeacjUCOPZ2nHTxxjbgELgqV5_s_OntEG-5ZMhOaBg2trxMvqSy37m0/s1600/DSC08337.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513634294427327778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sgxvYnQqrUe33O6rx-_yrnElay0BRWIYqnzUszLgsXe1OSsxm37ij7bJEdB5G5cr37_6OnXAcekkPJVcfFcevWeacjUCOPZ2nHTxxjbgELgqV5_s_OntEG-5ZMhOaBg2trxMvqSy37m0/s400/DSC08337.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a> We stocked up on our food for the week and then headed to lunch with Kyle's family.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqtM5T2WOx2F1ZNdzRyAMhelFMHfY4Jmg7DPLdnI9IXlgu2e6H6rAZPzriylltngUCGDuVyo6cXTZusPTG0uNHk769cu5jsJxSot0PvT_HnDxb-NmiJae4axxWuBB6deN1DCyCfMA08tJz/s1600/DSC08340.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513633841976794274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqtM5T2WOx2F1ZNdzRyAMhelFMHfY4Jmg7DPLdnI9IXlgu2e6H6rAZPzriylltngUCGDuVyo6cXTZusPTG0uNHk769cu5jsJxSot0PvT_HnDxb-NmiJae4axxWuBB6deN1DCyCfMA08tJz/s400/DSC08340.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a> I had a grilled chicken sandwich and corn.

I would have said NO WAY! That's too slow! I can't wait THAT long to get to goal. Why, at that rate it'll take me...doing the math quickly in my head--I want to lose 100 pounds at .5 pounds per week is 200 weeks or almost four freaking years! Um, no thank you. I'll figure out a faster way to get to goal. Surgery? Jenny Craig...again? Nutri-System...again? Cut calories to 800 a day...again? MediFast? There has to be a FASTER way!!! I use to read people's blogs where they would lament about being a slow loser, posting week after week a loss of 1/2 a pound or a pound. I'd feel sorry for them and be thankful it wasn't me. I could easily drop 2-3 pounds a week. Yet here I sit, two years and seven months later still forty pounds from goal My goal is still 135 pounds. It's always been my goal, and most likely, will always be my goal. I may modify it as I get closer. I have that whole age thing working against me, wrinkles and stuff. People told me I looked haggard when I was 152 about a year ago. Yes, my friends are brutally honest. I like to think it was just lack of sleep, not the fact that I'm 55 years old. Will it take me 78 weeks to get to goal? God, I hope not! If it does, that's okay. This isn't a race, I'm in it for the long haul. I could look at it a different way too. Considering I gained 13 pounds in 13 weeks when I was actually trying to lose weight, I'm sure I could gain 78 pounds in 78 weeks. Don't laugh, sadly I've done it before, but I certainly don't intend to do it again. As we say at work, it is what it is. I intend to make it work this time. To really buckle down, cut back on the eating, gain control again. I have one day under my belt. It feels good, although I am a little hungry, but in the weight loss world, hunger is a good thing. New blogger on the block - Tanya I love new bloggers. The ones that are just starting out, trying to find their way. Everything is new and fresh to them. They're excited about losing weight. You can feel their enthusiasm. I love reading about their successes, as well as their struggles. I love cheering them on when they face the inevitable obstacles or when they have questions or self-doubt. I love being their cheerleader. What always surprises me is how much I can learn from them. They're discovering things I forgot about. I've been doing this "thing" for a long time, and I've come to think that I know it all. Then I'll read a little tidbit that a newbie writes and go "whoa! I forgot about that!". Or "oh yeah, they're right!". I'd like to introduce a new blogger friend I found over the weekend. She posted a sweet, encouraging comment on my Saturday post. I checked out her blog, and I'm her first follower. She needs a few more people to support her on her journey. I introduce to you:                                             <a href="http://tanzhealthylifestyle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tanya's Weight Loss Journey</a> Funny name for a blog. :) Drop in and visit her, leave a comment, and welcome her to our world.

Eating times are always odd on game days! We did a little shopping and decided to hit the road. We each had a 3+ hour drive home! I snacked a bit on the drive home on some wheat thins, animals crackers for 8 points. Unloaded and crashed when we got home!4 hours of sleep Friday night & a big day Saturday meant we were 2 tired Hawkeye fans! Anyone else get into college football? I haven’t always been a fan, but my husband quickly converted me! Saturdays in the fall in Iowa City are my favorite!!! Enjoy your Sunday everyone, looks like it is going to be beautiful! My mess of a house is calling my name!

1. Today is the day I went back to Weight Watchers, after a three-month absence. 2. Today is the day I faced the Weight Watcher's scale and a 13-pound weight gain in three months. 3. Today is the day I acknowledged my weight is 175.8. 4. Today is the day I get serious about my health and losing weight. 5. Today is the day I start counting Points, again. 6. Today is the day I get back to tracking my food online. 7. Today is the day I follow the healthy eight eating guidelines on the Weight Watcher plan. 8. Today is the day I stop beating myself up for screwing around for the last eight months. 9. Today is the day I pat myself on the back for not gaining everything back, plus some. I acknowledge I still have a loss of 63 pounds. That's a good thing. 10. Today is the day I love myself just the way I am right now, and not wait until I weigh [fill in the blank] pounds. I forgive myself.
