Happy Monday Peeps!  <br /><br />I hope you had a grand weekend!!  <br /><br />I left my posting last week saying I was losing motivation.  While that is normal for anyone losing weight, it's always great to have a wonderful support system to help boost you back where you need to be.  I haven't necessarily hit a "plato" of sorts, I am just frustrated.  I think I keep looking at the bigger picture in terms of weight loss and it just seemed impossible.<br /><br />Remember back when I first started this journey, I set a bunch of smaller goals.  I let myself look beyond that when I should have stayed focused on the smaller goals because, after all, I am meeting them!!!<br /><br />To remind you of the next two goals I have:  <br /><br />1. is in about 13 pounds (from my last weigh in) I will be on a "lower" notch of the scale at the doctor's office.  If you are at all familiar with the scales at the doctors office, you will know that there are two parts to the scale.  The first part is in the 50 pound increments - 50, 100, 150 etc. and the second part is in the 1 pound increment of 1 - 49.  When I first weighed in, the bottom bracket was 250 and the top was 43 = 293 pounds.  At my last weigh in, the bottom was 250 and the top was 12 = 262.  When I lose 13 pounds, I will be able to move that bottom number to 200!!  With that at 200 and the top number at 49 = 249.  <br /><br />2.  My 2nd short term goal is to lose total 50 pounds - that only  19 pounds from my last weigh in and only 4 more pounds from the 1st goal listed.  <br /><br />So, those are the goals I need to focus on vs. the overall LARGE overwhelming number LOL. <br /><br />I took a vacation day Friday to do some volunteer work.  When I came to the office today, this is what I found on my wall:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmNeHlmu3qhX2T0Gwq4LL0OJS-Fsi1chcdQm1bNI-gL-mMZmplEjdH2AglSLYpQZfRMjcN37Mbr-j1IzNwjSqDiMe1MZghaqHIvDJo8VAYEFcys6fBN6lqPhbszcm06oTXcakFtUvnzBs/s1600/IMG_0234%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmNeHlmu3qhX2T0Gwq4LL0OJS-Fsi1chcdQm1bNI-gL-mMZmplEjdH2AglSLYpQZfRMjcN37Mbr-j1IzNwjSqDiMe1MZghaqHIvDJo8VAYEFcys6fBN6lqPhbszcm06oTXcakFtUvnzBs/s320/IMG_0234%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Being bright neon pink, you can't miss it when you walk in the door.  When I moved around to my desk, another co-worker had laminated 3 sets of another "motivation" (so I can have one at home to):<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnOpoSghc0nOIAuL2S2-9sUBzY2vuJVa-9AM9rK0FvDXiWvqWoT7xxStFpLU_Dh2RYvSsMAxZXxnuVBWbC5uN3ANSTm1y5n-B-3x6dwPlJDfWgGgn0iyDCFrwqX3Z7EodIoAMVuLWngvc/s1600/IMG_0232%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnOpoSghc0nOIAuL2S2-9sUBzY2vuJVa-9AM9rK0FvDXiWvqWoT7xxStFpLU_Dh2RYvSsMAxZXxnuVBWbC5uN3ANSTm1y5n-B-3x6dwPlJDfWgGgn0iyDCFrwqX3Z7EodIoAMVuLWngvc/s320/IMG_0232%5B1%5D.JPG" /></a></div><br />So, just like any addiction recovery, support is necessary.  Food is my addiction.  <br /><br />Have a fabulous Monday!<br /><br />Ellie<br /><br />

Great.<br /><br />Now that radioactive shit is getting spread all over the fucking place at high speed.<br /><br /><br />         <a href="http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/506238/20130916/doomsday-japan-radiation-fukushima-nuclear-typhoon-man.htm">  <b> Doomsday in Japan? Radiation-Stricken Fukushima Power Plant in Direct Path of Typhoon Man-yi</b></a><br /><br /><blockquote>As if its radiation concerns aren't enough, Japan might receive another radiation leaking problem from the same crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant. Typhoon Man-yi has started battering southern Japan, and its path has been forecast to directly hit the nuclear plant.<br /><br />The typhoon, which has made landfall Monday morning in Toyohashi, Aichi prefecture, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, is packing gusts of up to 162km/h.<br /><br />Seen moving north-northwest at a speed of 45 kilometres per hour, Typhoon Man-yi will hit southern parts of the main island Honshu on Monday morning and then forecast to head northeast towards the capital and its surrounding region by noon. When it crosses the northeast, it will surely hit the Fukushima area.<br /><br />If Typhoon Man-yi doesn't change course and pursues its known trajectory, it will unleash more contaminated water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant that could possibly seep into the groundwater.<br /><br />Public broadcaster NHK has reported that trouble from the heavy rains has reached Fukushima. One of the plant's fences have toppled over. Crews of Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) are racing against time to keep highly contaminated water in reactor basements and tunnels from overflowing.</blockquote><br />Not one single person on this whole planet could even begin to predict the after effects of a fucking typhoon blasting that already giant clusterfuck of a mess.<br /><br />You can bet your homesick ass there is going to be sanitized reports come out of the joint no matter what happens though.<br /><br />Whatever they say happened you can automatically at least double right from the get go.<br />I would imagine if they are already having trouble containing it now, when that huge amount of water gets dumped on it all at once no amount of pumping is going to keep up with it and a bunch of that shit is going to run off.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW98BS8AnOByw7LaA7Q5jLsa0S2S1O8m_Gut8gWjMI865GzBk4hjqzwKqt89IJH_euS-cfa31CdqTAR4RzfSUIAdRSW_Hj6oidxZIpgVngqTD-SVcqW7_5jCo1EQCNsq3GV6oCZRUuyMn6/s1600/00001.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW98BS8AnOByw7LaA7Q5jLsa0S2S1O8m_Gut8gWjMI865GzBk4hjqzwKqt89IJH_euS-cfa31CdqTAR4RzfSUIAdRSW_Hj6oidxZIpgVngqTD-SVcqW7_5jCo1EQCNsq3GV6oCZRUuyMn6/s640/00001.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This is a disaster on top of a disaster.

Sleepy Time is a Scary Time

9:00 PM Tukiyooo 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal">Hola y’all! Man, I have all kinds of issues in the bedroom. I’m talking about sleeping issues you pervs! Sheesh! Anyway, every night it’s a struggle to get to sleep and often times to stay asleep. I go through periods where it takes FOREVER to get to sleep, but then I sleep just fine. Then, I go through stretches where I got straight to sleep but wake up two hours later and can’t get back to sleep. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDkUrIaU978JGDtjCa8enIDDP2m7QwlW7PPR5hFBqslL3ar_1QWia4LS0HM_atiK-CaGp5qNTJkt71wirFUKoB7dv4a-Po_2fi-PibgOa5R0W3NuX6sEIHCT853ziklDlPmqMmTsFq9mQq/s1600/Justin+Bieber+Sleeping+Hot+Nude.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDkUrIaU978JGDtjCa8enIDDP2m7QwlW7PPR5hFBqslL3ar_1QWia4LS0HM_atiK-CaGp5qNTJkt71wirFUKoB7dv4a-Po_2fi-PibgOa5R0W3NuX6sEIHCT853ziklDlPmqMmTsFq9mQq/s400/Justin+Bieber+Sleeping+Hot+Nude.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Lately though I’ve combined those two problems. It takes me a long time to finally get to sleep and then I wake up after a couple of hours and spend the rest of the night in that weird space in between sleep and awake. It’s like I’m dreaming that I’m lying there in bed trying to sleep listening to my radio, but I’m not dreaming, it’s real. Does that make any sense? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m thinking maybe I need to change up my routine. Each night at 10 pm I complain that Olbermann isn’t on ESP2 because some stupid sporting event went long. Then I turn it over to Conan and don’t laugh at whatever he’s doing. At 10:30 I turn on Arsenio Hall and spend thirty minutes wondering why his new show is so bland and boring. At 11 I check to see who is on Leno, Letterman and Kimmel while also seeing that the daily post on this blog has gone “Live” and then tweet the link to the masses. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">If nobody cool is on Leno, Letterman or Kimmel (most nights) then I either watch C.O.P.S. for a bit while monitoring Twitter or just go on to bed. Once I’m in bed the war starts. My mind starts going a million miles an hour and I can’t seem to settle it down. I start out flat on my back, then when my back stops hurting, I roll over onto my right side until my back starts to hurt again. Then I roll over onto my left side until either my back hurts again or I feel like I’m about to fall asleep. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s very important for me make sure I’m NOT lying on my left side when I finally fall asleep. If I’m on my left side I will have crazy-ass dreams. Like the other night when I dreamed I was living in a trailer and was trying to go to sleep in a bed right up against a window in a small room. Just as I was about to fall asleep I saw these freaky hands pushing the window open. When I sat up and looked out the window I saw these people who looked like a cross between the Children of the Corn and Boo Radley.  *Shudder* <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">At least they were human-ish this time. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve dreamed about talking animals. I’m not talking about cool talking animals like Mr. Ed either y’all. I’m talking about snakes and other freaky animals that are saying some mean shit to me. They threaten me or tell me how much I suck and stuff like that. Never cool animals like dogs or giraffes either. It’s always a really crappy animal that talks shit to me. Weird, huh? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5nbUJ087vtdG7-RyE_N-BBvfn91Os46Jol36ixAH92C4M37HLBQzZWfv5T7a0BYiJpUzkg62_xq2IV6Pbt5QNZ55Jh2BZSoGuzZWPOIp61st6EO_XprqmllHWNe-ILRcFCL3gc1xbcEaV/s1600/Susan+Sarandon+Cleavage+Boobs+Hot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5nbUJ087vtdG7-RyE_N-BBvfn91Os46Jol36ixAH92C4M37HLBQzZWfv5T7a0BYiJpUzkg62_xq2IV6Pbt5QNZ55Jh2BZSoGuzZWPOIp61st6EO_XprqmllHWNe-ILRcFCL3gc1xbcEaV/s1600/Susan+Sarandon+Cleavage+Boobs+Hot.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Of course none of this would be a problem if these dreams were sexy, but they almost never are. What’s up with that? Sure, I occasionally have a hot dream starring Helen Mirren or Susan Sarandon, but very rarely. Maybe the problem is that I’m sober? Shit, I didn’t even think about that. Hmm … I think I may have solved my problem. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Never mind y’all. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Jayman68" target="_blank">Facebook.com/Jayman68</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">In other news "Food, Sex and Farm Animals" was an EPIC episode of IWS Radio!
