Phil and I are in such a bad place right now. I don't know how to fix it anymore and sometimes I am not sure I want to. We can't say anything to each other without being sarcastic or snippy. Emotionally, I am wiped.
Food wise I think I am doing okay. Took a peek at my scale this morning and it showed 215.8 which would be up .8 but my scale is usually off by 2 lbs with WW scale so that would put me down a bit. We shall see on Thursday.
I am so ready to be off. 2 more days and I have a 4 day weekend. I am ready. This job is stressing me out. I am so thankful to have it but I started out in the hole and I don't know if I can fix it all. I don't know if I can figure it out. I don't want to fail these people they are so nice but I am really stressed out about it all.
Gotta go

I just can't seem to do it.
Blog that is. I have lots of things to say. Ask anyone who knows me. But when it comes to putting it in this blog I can't seem to do it.
It has been a rough week. Last Thursday at WI I lost 8lbs. Go me!!! But then things started falling apart. Phil and I are in a rough patch right now and I wasn't very good at pulling my punches and really let him have it. The resentment has been building for a while and I didn't have a tight enough lock on my mouth. Add to that that we were suppose to have $566.00 deposited to our bank on the 15th and it still isn't there are we are $282.00 in the red it doesn't bode well. We are at least on speaking terms right now but it feels really shaky. Earlier this week he said he had had it and was moving out. What a miserable day. He has apologized for that but I think we are still going to try some marriage counseling. Just have to find the money for that.
All that to say that I think I did alright this week with WW. I wasn't tracking until Tuesday but I did go back and track everything I ate for the week and I don't think I forgot anything. My scale shows me up .2 and I could handle that. 8lbs was incredible so I am not expecting much just don't want it to be a couple lbs up. That is so discouraging. We shall see tonight.

I'm Back...
How many times can a person say that? I rejoined WW in September and did well and than we moved back to MO and fell apart again. So I let that go on for awhile and now have gone back. In time for a whole new program. This is my first week on it and I think I am going to like it although all my favorite go to foods went up in points. But I guess that really is the point. To get us off of all that processed crap. I rejoined Thursday and so far I have done as close to perfect as I will ever get. I really like the 49 weekly points. I even had a peanut butter sandwich last night. Something, I haven't done in forever.
Just trying to get my life under some kind of control. I have been feeling so bad and I know that alot of that stems from my weight. I want to get to a point that I do not think about it 23 hours a day. It seems to consume me. Either my weight or what I am going to eat.
Activity has been a bit of a challenge. I have started walking at the mall. I can only get 30 minutes in but I say that is a victory. We are getting the family a Wii for Christmas so I am hoping eventually I can get a Wii fit. I am also going to try to start blogging again. We have internet at home so I should be able to keep up on it. I am also working on positive thinking. I will do this, I will blog more, I will love my life.

Depressed...
I dont know what is wrong with me. I cant seem to get out of this funk. I hate how I feel and act when I am like this. Phil was gone last week and I just fell apart. Ate like a mad woman and no exercise. This week he was home but he is so pi$$ed at his boss that the week was not very enjoyable. I need to not let his mood affect mine but how do you do that when all you want is for him to want to be with you. It's a vicious cycle.
Last night he got a call from Macke. Good friend of his. Actually, the call came in at 1:00 a.m. He was in jail. DWI and needed Phil to go to his house and get money for bail. He could only trust Phil. Mind you this is 3 1/2 hours away from us. Luckily, Phil was off today so off he went. He finally calls me at 9:30 this morning and he was just leaving. Got him out of jail and he was going to work. Of course, he had no money to give Phil for gas. That really hurts in the finances department. Phil came through here about my lunch time and do you think he would meet me for lunch. Hell no, he was to tired. Drives 3 1/2 hours to help out his drunk ass friend but doesn't have a 1/2 hour to spend with me for lunch. Drives me insane. The only time he seems to have time for me is when he wants sex. I bet that doesn't happen tonight.
On a differnt note, I ordere this weight loss product called Sensa. Don't know if it will work but I feel like shit and I cant take it anymore.
Hoping to have a good weekend this weekend. 3 day week end. Concert at park, fireworks at the lake. Sunshine and Daisy are excited, cousin Joe may come to visit. We shall see.
Have a great 4th.

6/24/10
I am not even going to post my food today. To embarrassing to even admit. I am not sure what I am going to do. How to move on from here. I am feeling utterly hopeless and helpless. I don’t know how to get my mojo back. I feel disgusted, lonely, sad, scared and angry. How do you feel that all at one time without exploding? I want to lose this weight so bad. Well, to be honest with you I just want to be skinny. If I could chop it off I would. Feeling really sorry for myself today. Not sure what I can do to snap out of it. This week Phil has been gone has really derailed me. But I let it. Almost embraced it. Like he wouldn’t know. Maybe he is a disgusted with me as I am with myself. Maybe that’s why he didn’t have any time to talk to me this week. I hate what I have become and what I am letting myself become again. God, please help me.

Jokes on me...
6/23/10
Well, I guess the joke was on me. Phil finally started working out of town. Was suppose to do this almost 2 months ago. The pay is really good so we couldn’t pass on it. He was not excited about it and neither were the girls. I on the other hand was kindof looking forward to it. I always feel like such a failure as a wife. Pretty much on a daily basis. He left on Monday and has been acting like he doesn’t even want to talk to us the one time a day he calls home. On a usual day he will call me from 2-5 times a day. They don’t have very good reception apparently. He called this morning at 6:00 and said he would call back to talk to the girls in a couple hours and it is now 3:00 and he hasn’t called. I just don’t know what to think. Monday he said that they may work up there on Friday and than he is going to Missouri to Macke’s party. I don’t want to say anything to him. I guess I should be glad he is not homesick but we sure miss him. Needless to say eats have not been that good. To embarrassed to even post them. And no exercise either. All I want to do is sit and cry. Gotta snap out of it.
On a good note-Sunshine and Daisy have been going to swim camp all week. Last year, Daisy wouldnt even get her head wet and the last two days she has been jumping off the low dive into the deep water. Sunshine is having a little trouble with diving but she is doing the advanced strokes like she was born in the water. I have always said she is more comfortable in water than on land. I am so proud of them both. The just have 2 more days left.

Well, Thursday's dinner changed. We ate at Steak N Shake, I had a chicago frank and bacon cheese fries and a couple bites of ice cream. Not the best choices but really nothing there is.
Friday eats
Exercise-Outside walk-2.5 miles 50 minutes
Breakfast-breakfast cookie-I am addicted

We are going to Missouri this weekend for Father's Day. We of course have no money. It works out cheeper if we go on Saturday but Phil is always giving me trouble about that. I dont like going and getting there at night. Of course, he would go out with his nephews and the girls and I would go to my dad's. He gets aggravated with me and I almost always give in. Why cant we just have a nice leasurely day on Saturday. Besides, I haven't packed and I have laundry to do. Sometimes he is a big pain in my ass!
Going to try and be "good" this weekend and not take it as a license to pig out. Gotta stay on track. It is amazing how much better I feel this week since I have been exercising and eating better. Like a differnt person. I wish I could remember that when I start to slide.
Gotta run. They actually expect me to work here. I just dont understand it.LOL

It has been an interesting couple of days. Monday, Phil called me to tell me that he dropped his glasses down a 50ft well. At first, I started to get upset but really what would be the point. It’s not like he did it on purpose. I started thinking it was funny. I mean really it’s like we have this black cloud following us, sometimes you just gotta laugh. He was not amused. Anyone that knows Phil knows he cant see jack crap without his glasses. So, I took a sick day Tuesday and we all went to Champaign to get him some new glasses. He needed bifocals anyway. So now he is set up but of course that puts us in the hole financially, I had to rob Peter to pay Paul again.
Tuesday’s eats
Exercise-Outside walk-3 miles-1hour
Breakfast-Saurkraut, olive oil, kidney beans, peppers & onions-water
Lunch-Fried chicken wing, ¼ slice pizza calzone, 3 fried potatos, bite of Salisbury steak, small taco salad, small slice coconut cream pie, small pc cheesecake, water
Dinner-McDonalds southwest salad-minus frito chips, Lt Italian dressing-water
Snack-pudding
Wouldn’t have been so bad except we ate at a buffet. Not beating myself up. Moving on

Well, I did not start on Friday. I was in such a bad mood. Really feeling all the woo is me syndrome (as I like to call it). Mentally, I cussed out everyone all day. Didnt think I would be able to handle trying to watch the diet to. I did however start on Saturday.

Lunch-Saurkraut, kidney beans, onions & pepers, olive oil

Snack-string cheese, V-8
Not a great eats day but on the right track. I am not going to beat myself up about it. I truly am taking it one step, one bite at a time.
Sunday
Breakfast-western scrambler, wheat toast, strawberry jam, strawberry bread
-eggs
-ham
-oninons, peppers
-hasbrowns
-cheese
Not the best of breakfast but I also used it as lunch too.

Not exercise. Lazy and struggling with day 2 of a caffenie withdrawal headache.
Monday
Exercise-31 minutes on treadmill
Breakfast-orange, breakfast cookie

Not sure what I am having for dinner. Hopefully, some kind of chicken. We shall see.

June 9. 2010
Well I am going to try this again. Losing weight that is.
I feel like I have been trying to do this my whole life.
Personally, I am sick of it. Sick of being fat. Sick of being tired.
Sick of making excuses. Sick of not being all that I can be.
But mostly, I am sick of not taking advantage of what my Lord God
Has given me. I am healthy (except for the whole morbidly obese thing) but really how much longer will that last. I have a wonderful family, I can see, hear, feel, reason. I have two perfectly good legs to take me where I want to go. And still, I seem to always be depressed. Not clinically depressed. I am not taking medication. Sometimes I wish I was. But I am stuck in this cycle of self pity and constantly thinking of me, me, me. I mean we do have to think about ourselves but within reason. But all I seem to be able to think about is me and food. I fool myself into thinking that “I have to make a plan, I have to give myself some thought” but come on. It is moving into selfishness. I call bullshit on myself. And I am vowing to change it now. Well Friday. I have to get back into the game mentally and physically. Here is my plan.
Fridays A.M.-weigh and post weight
Do one nice thing for someone else a day and report
Write 5 things I am grateful for
Track food intake
Exercise 4-5 days a week
Become more present in my life and the lives of my family
STOP FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF
