Seems to me we should get an extra day off. It just goes to fast and I am not feeling renewed or refreshed this a.m. LOL. But I did get up and go to the gym this morning at 5:00. Today was treadmill, arms and abs. I added a new arm exercise that is suppose to work the triceps and my arms felt like jelly after. I also did 6 minutes on the elliptical. That thing is just hard. But for some reason I just want to be able to do it and am working up to adding more time.
Daisy starts Tae Kwan Do tonight. She is excited but I wonder how long she is going to like it. Phil said it is alot of work. The got to participate in a class last Thursday and Phil said the first thing the started out with is 200 jumping jacks. That would have killed me. I think I would like to join eventually and Phil said he would to. But for now we are letting this be Daisy's thing.
Sunshine starts gymnastics in two weeks. She has wanted to do this forever. It's only one night a week as opposed to Daisy's 2 nights a week. So right now Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are booked.
Phil and I are still working on getting on track. I just don't know what to say and do anymore. I am feeling very discouraged about him right now. He will not get a job. It is driving me insane. He is perfectly happy to draw unemployment and I am losing alot of respect for him. And while he is sitting home everyday he is not doing anything there either. Well he has started making supper pretty regular but that is it. I have tried to call a counselor we can afford a couple times but she never returns my calls. Somethings gotta give. We looked at a couple of house out of town for rent this weekend but when he called they were both rented out. Very discouraging.
Here's to a better week

Half assing it...
Phil is trying to quit smoking. It is never pretty when he does. He gets very angry. Mostly, at me and the girls. We already had a confrontation this am and I am almost sure he probably went and got some cigars. His problem not mine. I keep telling him he has to stop half assing it.
Well, I think that's what I am doing. I have been back to WW for 5 weeks now. The first two weeks were awesome and I was as close to perfect as I am ever going to be. But these last 3 weeks I have been half assing it. Not tracking well, eating over my points and eating junk. Not exercising consitantly. Well as of today I am vowing to get my shit together. I cannot control how Phil reacts to quitting smoking. I can only be supportive. I cannot control what happens in life but I can control how I react to it.
So these are my resolutions for 2011
1. Lose 79lbs by 12/31/11
2. Work on being financially solvent
3. Be happy in my marriage
4. Walk 500 miles
5. Quit letting my weight keep me from doing anything.
The first one may be alittle optomistic but I am going to try my best. 2 & 3 are a little vague and I hope as the year progress's I can firm them up. 4 is totaly doable I am just going to have to walk alittle more on the weekends. And, 5 is within my power now. I want to enjoy my life now AND when I lose weight. So why hold off now. Well, I am not anymore.
Wish me luck, and God bless

Bad spot...
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.
