Troublemaker with a capital T

So, since Jen has brought home the new puppy, I've been babysitting her and Chase. At her house, not mine, which makes it a tad bit inconvenient. But I'm family, and family helps each other out. So..... I've gone Monday night, Tuesday night, and tonight. Haven't had any problems until tonight. Before now, I've taken the baby out every hour, she's done her thing, and been inside, with the kids keeping her company. Tonight since I babysat at the gym till 7:30 I waited till Chris came home to go over. That puppy is a spazz! Racing around trying to chew on the electrical cords of the lamps, ripping up paper, climbing all over Chase. And get this....When the puppy paws at Chase's tail, Chase will take his paw and cover the puppy's paw to stop her. Isn't that great? I guess you might need to see it, but its obvious how smart Chase is. And remember how I was saying I wanted a puppy? That was before the puppy ate her food and peed and crapped all over the floor. It was also before Trouble stepped in the poo that was all over the floor. And it was before she tracked it all over the place and I had to clean her and it up! I changed my mind... I don't want a puppy after all.

Guess what?

For the first time in over a month, I went to the gym to work out! I was covering someone else's shift in the babysitting room, and actually made it there early enough to drop the kids off and walk on the treadmill. Granted, it wasn't a huge workout, but it was more than I have been doing. I ended up babysitting with Jen tonight which was great..... we never seem to have enough time to catch up on things. Didn't get home till 7:30pm, so the kids ended up having a late dinner, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm thinking I might go to the gym in the morning too. Maybe, since I have a million and one things to do, so I probably won't get to it.

Week almost over

It hasn't been a halfway bad week. I haven't written things down for a few days, but things haven't gotten out of control either. I've been cleaning the hotel rooms for exercise, since I haven't been dragging my ass to the gym. Water's been good, but haven't taking my diuretic in a few days. The scale's showing me up a teeny tiny bit, but its not freaking me out. Tomorrow starts a new week!

Weigh-in

Alright, so I'm a few days late. I tend to get online and read all the blogs I have in my favorites. By the time I'm done, I don't feel like writing a post. So, it gets put off. Regardless, I finally made it through a week, and I lost 5.2 lbs! On to the new "week #2". Haven't done horrible, although with the heat I haven't felt like exercising. I've kept up with my water and my diuretics and I don't like I've done that bad with my points. I'll step on the scale maybe Thursday to see how my week is progressing. But its weird. I know I've written about this before, but in all in my head, so to speak. Mind over matter, or something like that. I'm not freaking out.(example:binge) Every day is a new day. If I "mess up" a bit a certain day, I'm okay the next. I can't explain it. I'm grateful for this mindset that makes eating healthy things easy. I wish I could get my butt to the gym though. Haven't been once in the last 3 weeks. Except to babysit of course. A friend of mine owns a small hotel that only opens in the summer, so I've been cleaning rooms, which I guess could be classified as "exercise". And walking down the street to various neighbors houses who have pools could be classified as exercise too. Heck, by the time I'm there I've already sweat off 2 lbs...lol Anyway, I hope everyone is surviving the heat, and has a great week!

Semi-back

I dragged myself to the WW meeting on Saturday. Reluctantly stepped on the scale. Up 8 pounds. Yikes! 3 weeks not weighing in, 3 weeks eating crappy, 3 weeks not exercising, and 8 pounds more, back on my body. My weight....200 lbs. Train stops here folks. I absolutely REFUSE to get higher than this! It freaked me out, it scares the shit out of me. I talked to my leader after the meeting and she wants me to simply write things down this week. It can't be all or nothing. I have to remember that there's an in-between. So far I haven't been so bad. I may not have been perfect, but I've drank my water, and I've written down what I've eating. I've eaten fruits and vegetables again! LOL Not that I didn't eat them at all, but now I'm making more of an effort to eat them instead of carby, snacky, sodium-filled snacks. I have had chocolate here and there, since my hormones aren't the most stable right now, but I'm giving more of a crap than I did before. Tomorrow's my birthday...big deal though...lol Maybe have cake or something, but I'm not going to stress about it. Hope everyone has a great week!

Getting there

Haven't gotten back to basics with WW yet. For some reason I just don't want to. Okay, so I want to, I just want to still be able to eat crap too! Things are winding down though. No longer am I interested in binging, not interested in chocolate ( I think) and not really craving bad stuff. I'm feeling like I can do this again! I refuse to step on the scale, and basically for the last day or two, focusing on drinking my water. Next up will be the exercise, and then back to writing things down and counting points. I don't know why I get so out of control. I'm just tired of counting points and watching what I eat. I know that if I want to keep my weight off, I'm going to have to forever watch my food intake. Scary, but I'm not going to worry about that right now. I can only hope that I'll be able to learn something from gaining this weight, learn something from the shitty way that I feel. And seriously, thats what I don't get about myself. Why would I eat this way if I don't want to gain weight? Why would I skip exercising if I want to still get to my goal weight? Questions I need to figure out the answers to. But don't worry, no pressure on myself. I feel myself getting back in control, and I know that I'll be back on the wagon in no time!
