Thursday, December 29, 2011- Day 34, Cruise

Curt hit a new low.  He's 38 lbs down.  I AM STILL hovering over the same number that I've been hovering over for at least a month and a half.  I will say...  I am VERY frustrated.  VERY.  I've been eating very well AND working out almost daily.  Yet...  nothing.  Once again, I have a "going" issue and blame most of it on that.  So while I'm frustrated, I'm not giving up yet.  The way I look at it, even if I'm not benefiting from it myself, I still benefit from it if Curt is losing.  I'm going to start logging in our weights and what we eat again.  It makes me more accountable. And so you're aware, we were VERY good over the holidays. 

One a different note...  life sucks.  My son is being a teenage twirp.  I feel like I must be doing something wrong.  He is sneaking out, screwing around.  Of course, he doesn't know that I know this yet.  He's going to be hating life tonight.  Kids make life so stressful sometimes.

Friday, December 23, 2011, Day 28

I have been awful about blogging.  I have been pretty sick this week, but I have stuck to the diet.  I haven't seen much progress tho, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to hit my birthday goal weight.  But I'm still aiming for that, so we'll see.  13 pounds in 6 weeks isn't insane.  It's just not going down.  Curt hit  new low a few days back and is exactly at a 36 lbs loss.  Ok...  back to work.

Friday, December 16, 2011- Day 21

As of yesterday, I'm down 18 lbs.  And I can't remember how Curt is doing, but it's well.  I've been working non-stop and today is the first day the internet has actually worked over here.  On Monday, I had my yearly exam and pap smear...  that was awful.  I still hurt from the exam.  And I also got a tetanus shot and my blood drawn.  It is 5 days later and my arm still feels like someone came along with a 2x4 and hit me as hard as they could with it.  But at least I can lift my arm above my head now.  I have been riding the bike here at work for 1/2 hour.  I didn't do it the last 2 days tho.  On Wednesday, I didn't because I was lazy and yesterday, I didn't do it because we were busy all day and went bowling.  Not that bowling was much of a work out, but me chasing the ladies down to stop them from buying more food was a work out!  I plan on riding the bike today, but we'll have to see.  My stomach is really rumbling, and I've already made a couple of trips into the bathroom.  And I think I'm catching a cold.  My throat is really hurting this morning.  So when I'm done working tonight, I'll have put in 81 hours this week.  I still work tomorrow too.  I'm very tired and I'm starting to think that the long hours are wearing on my health, causing the sore throat and the headaches that have been plaguing me lately.  But who's knows...  it's that time of year.  I'm hoping that starting tomorrow I'll start blogging more regularly again.  But this will do for now.

Once again, Curt had a great number and hit a new low! YAY!  And I'm not losing, but I'm holding steady at the same weight for 3 days, and I'm good with that....  for now....  I would like to see a payoff one of these days.  But honestly, as long as that number is not going back up, I'm happy.

I'm suffering at work today.  I'm making baked potatoes and put some boneless pork ribs into a crock pot with a bottle of BBQ sauce for the clients' dinner.   It smells heavenly!  And this afternoon, we watched "Cupcake Wars." They were captivated.  Afterward, one said, "I want one."  And to their immense pleasure, there is an adorable cupcake shop across town.  So we went and got one (only one of them had money).  AND...  the gentleman working the counter felt sorry for the money-less one and just gave her one.  It was so sweet, and I was so jealous.  Feel sorry for me, please. 

Tonight is the first big test of this season.  We are going to a Christmas party at a pizza parlor.  Our plan: The salad bar is our friend!  So sad to pass up free pizza...  Again...  feel sorry for me.  ***LATER: I was naughty. :(

First of all, she doesn't read this, but to my daughter, HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, BERLYN! 

If you read yesterday's blog, you know I spent a good deal of time in the evening on the toilet.  And even last night (1 a.m. to be exact) it called my name again.  Anyways, I was very happy about that, but expect a pretty good number this morning.  AND I HELD EVEN.  So disappointing.  But, on the bright side, I bought new jeans yesterday, size 10, and they're too big!  I'll be wearing them with a belt. 

So....  I'm back at work today. Bah!  We have a couple of appointments today and just plain old getting stuff done.  Today has been SO frustrating!  I read our pass down logs and one of the clients is mad at me, yet today said a dozen times that she loves me.  Then...  I caught her in the kitchen w/ a wooden spoon trying to sneak packs of oatmeal.  From Monday afternoon to this morning, she has eaten 2 WHOLE BOXES (20 pks) of oatmeal.  This is the one who is supposed to be losing weight.  So I put the rest of the oatmeal up in the cupboards above the frig.  And yesterday, they both ate 8 yogurts each.  AND...  this is the one that bugs me the most...  One gets $15 a week and the other gets $20 a week.  The $20 a week one had $20 when I left Wednesday night.  Yesterday, my co-worker let her buy a movie for $16 and its an OLD movie! She didn't even have enough money to buy food for her frogs so I had to buy it.  Then...  $15 a week client got $20 on Wednesday, so a total of $35 this week, as of Wednesday night.  She had $3 left this morning.  I AM PISSED!  I have today and 2 more days with the girls and they EXPECT to go out and do something everyday. How do you entertain ppl who have NO money?  Ugh...  I'm not sure who to be mad at...  clients or co-workers?

Once again, "going" is an issue.  I had to take more for it today.  Ummm...  I feel like crap now, but at least it's not an issue anymore.  Anyhow...  it was a good day off.  We went to see "Breaking Dawn, Part 1" finally.  It was a tad bit better than I thought it would be.  After we did a little shopping, we came home, made dinner and watched "The Help." Well...  Curt did.  I feel asleep for 20 minutes of it and was in that bathroom a good chunk of the time.

I'm tried of working.  I'm on my 4th shift this week.  From Monday, the 5th, til next Saturday the 17th, tomorrow is my only day off and 3 of those days I work night shifts too, a total of 156 hours in under 2 weeks.  Today was a rough day.  From on of my clients I got, "I hate you, Jamie.  Go ahead and love her more than me!"  all because I weighed one of them.  The jealousy is really getting on my nerves.
