Happy and Sad
Tuesday, August 24th 2010
I am happy and proud that I lost 12 pounds so far, but I am sad because I hate my job today. I asked for a couple of days off in September and I couldn't get them because other people were off. I was supposed to babysit my grandson because his babysitter is going to be off. This sucks! I had to disappoint my daughter and miss the opportunity of special time with my grandson. I am angry and crabby and I just can't get over it. It is totally my fault for not asking sooner, but it is so hard to ...10 Lbs Lost!

I set a goal for 10 lbs and a reward of a new gym bag. I already bought the bag, but i have 1/2 lb to go! I am not using it until I get there. Hopefully Monday.
I was proud of myself last night, because I had a salad with chicken (inst...
The Fridge is Packed
Friday, August 20th 2010
The fridge is packed so tight you can't fit another thing in. And yet, there was nothing for breakfast or lunch today. Go figure! Actually, there was nothing prepared that I could grab quickly, and my husband gave me a couple of things that were not too appetizing!! He tries to clean out the fridge and put it in my lunch bag. I just throw it away at work so he doesn't know.I try to prepare foods on the weekend for the week, but since I had the family reunion and vacation, nothing is pr...
