Friday The 13th

am: oatmeal, coffee with fat free creamer

lunch: water and string cheese

dinner:3 bowls cabbage soup, grapes

snack: I found a thin crust frozen pizza which only has 290 calories a serving, Which was 2 small pieces. It was excellent! I was going to save it for Sat, movie (Or as most people call Sat, Date Night. I can’t even remember anyone taking me on a date in a very longgggg time) But tonight is a holiday, Friday The 13th so ate pizza, drank an ice coffee with fat free creamer, and had a smoothie with banana, crushed pineapple, raspberry yogurt, and Greek yogurt, and watched: you got it original “Friday The 13th” I never saw it and was surprised with the ending!

I also forgot to mention most days I ride my exercise bike and most nights I go walking. Its been 13 days on my diet and I really haven’t lost very much weight. I have felt very good and maybe in the best shape I’ve been in awhile 🙂

Wed. 11

Tuesday Day 10

am: I woke up to the downstairs bathroom door open and toilet paper off the role. Good morning Mommy!

last night: We already saw” Wolf Creak” so we decided to watch the next movie on the list which was “Kill List.”  I give it a thumbs down. I fell asleep and didn’t even finish watching it. I probably just needed the rest. Big plans for today! Decorating for Halloween and walking in the woods enjoying the Fall Foliage. I’m not even going to feel bad leaving the little spawn of Evil home alone. (Well maybe I’ll feel a little bad)

water, oatmeal with apples, blueberries and skim milk, coffee with fat free creamer.

lunch: Started with string cheese and grapes

Went walking  at  Merli  Sarnoski  Park. Great hike found 2 Geo at the park and one on the way. Stopped on the way home at Dunkin Donuts and treated myself to a 360 calorie pumpkin doughnut and a large iced caramel and cream ice coffee 340 calories. Actually found it was delicious  and I didn’t miss not having added sugar. Better skip the smoothie during the movie tonight,

dinner: one bowl of soup, string cheese

Rant: We were looking for The Mans wallet, so I went out to check his car for him and to my surprise there were at  least nine fast food bags crumpled up under the seat. Why would you hide food bags under the seat in your car? One, you don’t want anyone to see them, two I can’t think of a two. The only reasonable explanation is you don’t want them seen. Now the next question is from whom? You remember that I was looking for a misplaced wallet. (Which by the way the wallet was left  on the console, very irresponsible) The only people who ride in the car are the man child and me. The next question would be why? I asked that question when I returned with the wallet. His answer was they were there a long time, Food that doesn’t spoil! It didn’t smell. Now the next question one might ask is why do I care. Here goes that rant I spoke of: Well I buy almost all the groceries, snacks, drinks, and prepare the meals for the three of us. I share 99% of every thing I buy except my work drinks. The man child buys himself multiple goodies, drinks, and maybe once in two years offered me something icky his mom gave him. Then he brings down the garbage from said items and places it on the counter for me to dispose of. Did I mention he is 18 and not a kid!( At his age I was already expecting a baby. I spent my entire life caring for others, I just want someone to care for me for a change. ) You may think they are sparing me by sneaking and eating this things but my friend don’t be naive, the diet just started! Sure if I ask The Man, he will offer to go get me something and pay for it. If I ask. I never ask and won’t ask. I hate to ask. But my friends the point really is the sneaking!!!! If you aren’t doing anything wrong why sneak. Why not say I was hungry and stopped for a burger. You don’t need to make dinner for me. I’m good. Maybe I would like to treat myself once in a while. (Which is exactly what I’m starting to do with my Diet.  Feel good about me. Take care of my own needs. Like you take care of yours!!!)                                                                                                                                   They both openly go in my refrigerator and take what they want. I have even seen them offer things I bought. Sure The Man  gives me money for  bills. Apartments are not cheap. There is an apartment for rent around the corner, 2 bedroom for $650. I’m not sure what’s included but I’m pretty sure food isn’t. If you start complaining you get hurt looks and even more sneaking around. It period just makes matters worse.  If people would slink around with small things I’m afraid to see what happens with major things. They forget to turn out lights. forget to lock doors, leave garbage around. leave doors open! All of these above are pissing me off and driving me crazy. The mans chores include washing dishes, watering, taking out garbage (which I have to remind him of EVERY week.) He does fix somethings with cement. The man child works and makes more money an hour than I do, his chores are keep your room clean. (holy  shit at his age I cooked, cleaned, did the laundry and still found time to get knocked up. The difference being I Loved my mother with my whole heart and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. I never liked watching her work so hard so I tried my best to help carry the home work load. That’s what you do when you love someone with your whole heart. Get it! I’m not going to say I was perfect I was a screwed up alcoholic little bitch. It took me a long time to straighten out myself and my life and I do not intend to be used and taken advantage of by useless men. See guys, (Not all Guys either! I have known some awesome men) I know how to love and be loved. You can say you love me but it is entirely true: Actions speak louder than words!!!!! You may try for a while but that doesn’t really cut it. I know the difference between spontaneous from love and forced, or pretense actions . Now has become the past and you can’t go back. God knows if you could I wouldn’t pick these back.

 

 

Columbus Day, Day 9

am: water, oatmeal with apples, blueberries and fat free milk, coffee with fat free creamer

lunch: water and string cheese

dinner: 3 bowls of cabbage soup which I added chicken to.  It doesn’t have very much flavor so I added more garlic powder, turmeric, chili powder and a little fresh parsley. It helped some what but still needs more help before you can call it tasty, I bet you’re wondering why I ate so much if it wasn’t good and I’ll tell you why. I AM STARVING  So dramatic, right, I also had an ice coffee and a water.

It was a  rainy Columbus Day so we were busy at work. Which suited me just fine. Its been slow and I can really use the money. Shawn’s wedding and my sister coming to visit, I’m taking a week off. I can’t wait! Tonight’s movie is “Wolf Creek” I’ll probably make smoothies with bananas and pineapple. Yummy, The movie “May” last night was pretty good, odd but good. I’m giving it a thumbs up. I’m off tomorrow and might just treat myself to a goody, We’ll see.

My weight a shameful 150lbs.

Day 8, rainy Sunday

Good morning. My day off and its going to rain all day. I had planned to work in the yard and decorate for Halloween. I’m not going to let that get me down besides needing rain my sister is coming in for the wedding and I will get the guest room ready just in case she stays here. I’m sure I will get lots of help Chessey is already waiting! He helped with breakfast and the dishes. Then he managed to get poop on his paw so we had to stop progress to clean it, now he is angry with me. Way to go Mom!

am: water, oatmeal with blue berries, apples, cinnamon, and 1% milk, coffee with fat free creamer

It stopped raining.

Working hard in the yard!

lunch salad with thousand island dressing and grapes

dinner: cabbage vegetable soup with a tuna sandwich ice coffee with fat free creamer

Tonight’s movie is May

Day 7 of diet Sat

Good morning. Here we go day 7. although I would hope to be skinnier, at least I feel good and didn’t add to my weight.  I’ve walked , starved, rode my exercise bike and guess what? No miracles here. This is serious work, Not for the faint of hearted, The rest of the servers are not doing well either. They speak of headaches, inability to focus,  hunger, and irritable moods. Food does all these things to us. Our bodies turn into spoiled children punishing us with physical symptoms until we give in.  Note worthy mention the other servers on the diet are the same ones who went on the Advocare diet, Sherry, Amber, and now added Ambers man Ian, Doesn’t say much for Advocare long time results,

am; water, coffee with fat free creamer, and chicken sandwich on whole wheat with salsa

lunch: water, it was an alright Sat at work started slow but got a little lunch push.

pm: I picked up a small Wendy’s chili on my way home from work. Made a salad with it and I at the left over pepper filling, handful of grapes, coffee with fat free creamer,

Closed the pool for the season and then had an ice coffee.

snack: smoothie made with blue berries, Dannon fruit on the bottom yogurt, yogurt drink, ice, and 2 % milk. Watched 28 weeks. So far my favorite recent Halloween pick!

Friday Oct. 6

am chicken on whole wheat with salsa, water and small coffee with fat free creamer

lunch: water Work was pretty good today. I’m not sure if its because Amy called off or if we we’re actually busy.

dinner: I tried something new stuffed peppers made with peppers, my home grown tomatoes, ground turkey, onion, minutemaid rice medley, spices, a small can of sauce, and just a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. It was actually delicious! Ice coffee with fat free creamer and water. Then off for a 2 mile walk. I wanted to go further but I had to pee, On a good note made it back in record time,  Note to self don’t drink so much before a walk! Handful of grapes on returning from my walk.

snack: ever so small slice of leftover B day cake, ice coffee with fat free creamer and water while watching tonight’s movie Leatherface. It was ok but I fell asleep at the end, I chalk that up to it didn’t keep my interest or sugar low.

Thursday Oct. 5, 2017

am: water, coffee, microwaved apple with cinnamon. Delicious!

Today is my day off, so I’ll get the chance to update what I’ve been up too. This summer in July I got a kitten. He’s an orange tabby, with beautiful swirl markings, and one small black spot. The only down fall about him is he may very well be the spawn of Satan! He purrs and bites at the same time. The only conclusion I can come up with for this is he is happiest when attacking and biting you. Certainly well meaning, unsuspecting, naïve, people say this is the way they show love. (Scratches all over and blood drenched hands and feet) Even if this may be fact, I would still like to point out that this is an abusive relationship. I shouldn’t say any more as I feel his quizzical stare watching my every move. Now I feel compelled to tell you that this little spawn has brought so much joy to my life. If I was to tell him to watch what I eat, I’m positive he would never let me eat again. He already has me on a short leash.  He controls my every move. He tells me when to wake, when to feed him, when to shower. He is relentless and unforgiving! But OH so cute. Maybe I should have mentioned, I also watch his every move! He can’t be out of my sight for even a second and I call his name in a high pitched voice until I know exactly where he is and what he is doing. If he fails to show up or answer me I have a trick where all I have to do is shake his treat bag and he comes a runnin! Even from upstairs or when in a deep slumber. Then I smother him with Love and Kisses. I also tell him when to wake up, when to sleep, when to eat, and when to shower. So I imagine he would say if someone where to ask that his mommy might very well be the daughter of Satan!

His name is Chester. but I have all kinds of names for him. Chess, Chessa, Chesssy, Chessey Mufasa,  plain Mufasa, sweet bay Chessey , and so on. We run we play. This may be my way to permanent weight loss.

Now I’m going to go for a walk as there won’t be time later, I’ve got the chiropractor and its Cody’s Birthday. Mufasa will not be Pleased!

I’m back. 2 miles, yeah!

lunch: chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread, with salsa and ice coffee with fat free creamer.

dinner: Flat iron steak, salad smothered in ranch dressing, a baked sweet potato with cinnamon, sugar and butter. I was pretty good, I skipped the honey wheat bread and butter and didn’t even order a coffee. I had a small piece of Pepperidge Farm vanilla confetti cake and opted out of Resses  Pieces sundaes. We watched “The Witch” which happens to be the best Halloween movie we watched so far. But it is only Oct 5th.

Wed. October 4 th. Safety in numbers!

Happy hump day! 4th of October 4th day of the diet:

am : water, oatmeal with cinnamon and blueberries, coffee with fat free creamer.

right before work: a chicken sandwich on 1 slice whole wheat toast with salsa. I’m trying to avoid the head ach I sometimes experience from dieting.

Went to work. It was a slow day. Its been slow lately. Had a chance to talk with the other servers about dieting. They also want to join in. I hope they will because I really believe that you accomplish a lot more when you have others by your side. Safety in numbers. Hopefully goals met. Drank a yogurt smoothie.

dinner: chicken with green beans in olive oil with garlic. and some grapes. Not bad.

Went for a 3 mile walk and had an ice coffee with lots of ice and a little fat free creamer. Then of course I got the hiccups, my body’s way of protesting NO SUGAR! I don’t give in I had a nice big glass of cold water. (My body is not the boss of me) Now I’m going to watch “Annabelle ” snack free 🙁 maybe I’ll have a raspberry yogurt. I should be good, tomorrow is Cody’ s birthday and we are going out. I can’t wait! We’re talking dinner, cake , all the fixins and coffee with fat free creamer!!!!

Watched Annabelle and skipped the yogurt, yeah me.
