Today was one of those... "Kill me" days. But on the bright side, I came home after work and changed clothes to go to Berlyn's Parent Teacher Conference, and..... I put on my size 10 Levis with no problem!!! I'm pretty excited!
I had every intention to eat more today. I was going to eat the hamburger patty for lunch and have a better dinner, but we left the house at 11:45 with the intention of being gone for several hours. But I just wasn't hungry at 11:45. So I took the yogurts with me and ate them on the run and didn't bother eating til 6. Tomorrow may or may not be a better day.

I decided that we need to be more strict on our food. I'm going to spend my day making a VERY detailed meal plan. And then... we're going to stick to it. Starting Friday. I have to work late today so I can't go grocery shopping til tomorrow night. Unless Curt goes in the morning.
Next subject. How to put this delicately... Something I have been eating is irritating my stomach. I have been using the bathroom way more than I'd like to be. While I'm glad I'm not constipated, the NEED to go sometimes is inconvenient.

UPDATE on the Idiot!!
That would be my children's father. I called Ethan's school this morning to have the school nurse check out his foot/ leg. Guess what? They have no school nurse there! I called my aunt, who is a nurse at the hospital down the road and asked her to meet me there and look at his foot and give me her opinion on if he needed to be seen or not. So, he comes out and takes off his wrap and my aunt said, "Oh my! You need to go in for this!" And Ethan said, "It's just a sprain. I got it x-rayed." Ummm... I called his father last night and left a message saying I would pay for it/ take him. And he didn't want to pay the money for it. Anyways... I never heard back from that message I left, so I figured he didn't take him. It's not broke, by the way. Ethan told me his father was mad that I put my nose in his business. FOR REALS?!?!?!??!? I gave birth to these kids! I don't lay my mom card down when they go over to his house for the 6 days. I don't expect him to put down his dad card when they're with me, although he does! He won't go to games, go to events, doesn't call, nothin' when they're with me. And he expects me to do the same thing and for thinking that, he can kiss my butt! So this what I told Ethan I would have said to his dad, had this happened on my week:
Ring, Ring... (knowing it would go straight to voice mail because he flat out refuses to talk to me)... "Hi, this is Jamie. Ethan hurt his foot today and I'm taking him into the Such and Such Hospital to get it checked out, if you want to come. I'll let you know what I find out when we get out."
That's just me. When I took Berlyn in for her teeth, I sent him a long email because I thought that he needed to know what was going on before I just sent him a bill. Our parenting plan states that we will keep each other informed of important things. His idea of important and my idea of important and extremely different! Jerk...

DAY 37, SEPTEMBER 27, 2011
CURT: LOSS: 0.4 lbs TOTAL LOSS: 21.8 lbs
JAMIE: GAIN: 2.4 lbs TOTAL LOSS: 11.0 lbs
Breakfast:
C: ham and eggs
J: Americano Coffee w/ SF white chocolate and SF raspberry syrup
Lunch: we cheated!

Dinner:
C and J: Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad
Water:
C: 3 quarts of water, 24 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper
J: 3 quarts of water, 24 oz. Diet Coke
Once again... my children's father has managed to blow my mind! I got a call at about 10:30 p.m. from Ethan, asking to borrow the crutches. So of course asked why. He was at Boys Scouts and jumped over a fence without looking behind it and sprained his ankle. He came over to get the crutches and his ankle was swelled at least 2 times bigger than normal! I think he should have gone in, just to check it out. His father's insurance covers 100% on an accident if you get it checked out in the first 72 hours. OH NO!!! He didn't think there was anything wrong and didn't want to spend any money. WHAT PART OF COVERED 100% DOES HE NOT GET?!?!?!?! I even offered to take him in and pay for it. Ethan went out to tell him this (I asked him to come back and tell me what was going on) and I heard a yelling matching, a door slam and his father tear away from the driveway like he was fleeing the plague! UGH!!!!! I hate that man! Obviously... he didn't take him in! I'm thinking about calling the school and having the school nurse check him out.

CURT: LOSS: 3.0 lbs TOTAL LOSS: 21.4 lbs
JAMIE: LOSS: 1.2 lbs TOTAL LOSS: 13.6 lbs
Late Breakfast/ Early Lunch:
C: Steak and mushroom omelet
J: Taco omelet
Dinner:
C and J: chicken thighs in tomato sauce and coleslaw
Water:
C: 1 quarts of water, 2 Budlights
J: 4 quarts of water, 1 Mikes Harder Lemonades
WOW!! Another GREAT day! Curt told me this morning that we need to play racquetball everyday! But.... yesterday was a fluke. It is TTOM for me so I have issues with playing while on my period. I actually get quite crabby about the whole thing and have fits of rage! And then I say mean things that I regret later. So... for me... racquetball and periods don't mix. BUT! We can ride bikes. As an adult now, I look back and wonder how I ran track and cross country and played volleyball and basketball while it was TTOM. I don't remember it ever being an issue.
When I first started this diet, I took my measurements and for giggles, decided to check in on them. My pants have been feeling loose and I've been having to pull them up. So... my upper waist/ under my bust is down 1.5 inches, my bust is down 2 inches, my waist is down 3 inches, my hips are down 2 inches, my thighs are down 1 inch each and my upper arms are down .5 inch each. That's a total of 11.5 inches!! I'll check in again in another month.
Oh, boobs... where did you go??? The only benefit I saw from my weight gain was that I finally had boobs without lactating! So... I'm seeing the need for new, much smaller bras in my future. I'm a little sad. But I also knew that this would be the first area affected. Good thing boobs can be replaced!

Water:
C: 1 quart of water and I have no idea how much coconut drink

That little plateau that we hit seems to be gone for now. Woohoo! Finally some success on a regular basis!
Sunday was a lazy day. I had every intention of going to church, but I didn't set my alarm because I rarely sleep past 8. But when we woke up at 9:30, I knew there was no way I could get 4 kids and myself ready in time. Curt decided to use some vacation time and stay home. I will never complain about that!
So we watched football and played racquetball and just watched TV. I like days like that!

Notes from Curt again...
I know it's been a while since I've written, but I've been keeping up with what Jamie has been writing.
Yeah, I loved getting flowers for my wife, she's so appreciative of stuff like that, and the look on her face TOTALLY makes it worth my while to do nice things for her like that. She puts up with me asking all the time, "Can we eat donuts? Can we eat rice? Can we have tortillas, cuz I TOTALLY want a burrito." I think she knows I'm just messing with her when I ask these things, but I also know it wears on her... She's fantastic, and she's alot of fun to mess with.
Anyway... I've been pretty happy with the results of this diet. I'm not losing like the BIGGEST LOSER contestants, but I also know I can't expect that unless I was working out for 8 hours a day. I'm happy with what I've done, and I'm still moving in the right direction.
Today we played racquetball again. Jamie said she noticed right away that I'm MUCH quicker, and moving better for the ball than I used to be. Before I would assume I can't get to it and wouldn't try. Today I decided to go for EVERYTHING, and my sweaty back was proof! ;) We had a great time playing today. I love it when we leave the court and are holding each other and still looking for kisses. It's much better than when one of us is pissy and upset with our performance.
I asked Jamie to make her WONDERFUL spicy lime chicken today. I know we're very limited on what we can eat, but dog gone, if that woman doesn't make things that I can't wait to have again!
So, for all of those that are out there working on this diet, I really hope you are all as lucky as I am to have a GREAT partner... someone who pushes you to keep on the path, and who will kick your ass as hard as they can if you cheat and have a donut.... can you tell I want a donut?!?!? Maple bars... they are my kryptonite.
We have the next two days off together. We're making plans for future ideas, and enjoying every second we have with each other. I think I want to take her out for a movie, so we can make out and stuff... like we should have when we were in high school! That's another story... one of us will tell it one of these days soon. Jamie and I were destined to be together... God tried to do it for us in high school, but we were too stupid... but, we made it right 15 years later.
Alright... time to get kids in the shower for school tomorrow.
Curt
PS: While we love our time together, the kids can be pretty funny...
Briyanna loves to jump behind us when we're trying to get a pic together. Sometimes we make them take the pix, but these were some quick shots she jumped behind... we have a few more too. She's crazy.
