Taylor is not having a good a day as I am but I feel the need to tell everyone about it. Currently he's at school, waiting for his students to finish their tests so he can group with other GSIs to grade until 2am, seriously.
So my wonderful day started out with a later alarm clock going off-always a plus! I made Taylor's lunch and breakfast because it is the least I can do as a housewife, FOR NOW. Taylor was off work and I got to my job of watching T.V. You see, I don't have a real job. If you know of one that I have not applied to, called about, or begged for, PLEASE let me know. Its Michigan people, worst economy of the country. But Taylor pays the bills now so hail to the couch I now sit my tush on everyday unless I'm cleaning. Anyway, the cable went out AGAIN but they fixed it!
That is no easy task in itself because we have had 5 repair guys come out. Yes, FIVE. This one was super duper nice and actually helped us. He was only here for an hour! Another one was here for 6. Yes, SIX. It was very nice to watch my recorded stuff because on AT&T, you can record 4. Yes, FOUR. Ok, I'm done with that now. But it is very nice. Both cats either sit so nicely next to me, or curl up on my lap, which is so close to what I think Heaven will be like. Except I'm the cat. Does that make sense?
Anyway, after eating my delicious grilled cheese, I was counting out my calories and realized I've lost almost 30lbs since I've been here. Yes, THIRTY. Whoops, I said I wasn't going to do that again. So yeah, I was a chunky monkey for sure a while back. Cheri (my sis's MIL) sent me some pictures from Summer and boy was I ballooned out. How unsexy for Taylor. I felt fat too so that makes it even more unsexy for our anniversary. Not that we didn't have fun and all. What can I say, I know how to make things that are really unhealthy. Oh, but so good. And some things that are really healthy but still not good if you eat too much. Oh well, those pounds are gone.
So I decided to try on my clothes and see what fits, and what will fit again. I pulled open my drawers and realized that I haven't tried on a lot of it because I think it will not fit and I shouldn't even try. But I made myself. I was shocked. Things I thought I would not be able to put a leg in, I was buttoning! Things from high school (yes, I have clothes from high school dang it!) were almost fitting. Wow, how cool. Let's just say I think 15 more pounds would do me some more good and then I'm done. There's no way I want to go back to my smallest weight I was before. Everyone and their mother was telling me how skinny I was. Would they tell people how fat they were? Um no, but whatever.
As I was getting more and more excited about seeing all the pants I could wear, I put on a nice pair of black pants that I could not button last year and put my hands in the pockets. Out comes a twenty, and a five. SWEET! How is that for a reward? I put it in our humble piggy bank (ask me about THAT story later) and put away things based on how they fit. Basically I have a 3 piles left. 1st one is about 5lbs away. 2nd is about 7-10lbs away. And the 3rd and last is for 15lbs away. I'm excited! Its fun to work towards these goals. I think when I get there I will post pictures of how I looked. Oh, that will be fun. Kind of.
How are you having a good day? If you aren't, come vent. I LOVE to listen!
CONGRATS on your weight loss! That's so exciting. At Christmastime I set a goal of losing 25 pounds, and I lost the first 20 all right, but have kind of fizzled out with the last five. I really need to get back on it. Anyway, GO YOU!
ReplyDeleteAnd sweet, about the $25. I'm asking about the piggy bank NOW. : )
