Hello readers,
Today was a great day! I got to sleep in and when I woke up, it was sunny. I read part of Water for Elephants...again...and then Bean came over with her 2 kiddos. We got lunch and coffee (sugar free soy vanilla chai) and then we took our dogs out for a walk. We walked down to the river and let everybody run around. It was really fun. We even ran into my aunt and my cousins. After, I went out to Beans and played with the girls a bit. When I got home, Alex and I decided to have a relaxing evening just the two of us...needless to say, we're going crazy. Alex is always working, so when we get to spend time together, it's pretty great. However, today I am emotional and he is definitely being a turd.
...So instead of making him the homemade soup he likes so much, I am blogging :D. Anywho, happy Easter! :)

Friday
Hey---! :)
Today is Friday; which is normally the best day of the work week...except I had stomach cramps this morning. I hadn't had them in near 2 weeks and thought I was in the clear...no such luck...So I have been home watching re-runs of How I Met Your Mother and re-reading Water For Elephants (new fav book). Luckily, my husband got off work at 5 today; so I can cuddle up to him and complain about feeling sick all night. I'm sure he's really excited about it. Anywho, no Zumba...still. My hubby checked the mail for me..maybe tomorrow?

Thursday Girls Day!
hello readers,
Sorry for not posting yesterday, I had another one of those crazy days. We had some auditors come in and we were running around going nuts all day. After that, I had cheerleading/gymnastics open gym and then I went to bake with my aunt for Easter...Event of the day...I ate 3 spoons of rice crispie treats...which I guess is alright....considering there was still a whole pan left when I walked away. (quite the feat for a big girl who loves rice crispie treats). AND we watched Smoke Signals because we didn't get around to it Tuesday; we took a six mile walk instead. : )
Today, I am filing a BUNCH of stuff for our A/P and grant files. It's kind of nice to do something mindless after going through a crazy day yesterday. This morning, I had a sugar-free soy vanilla chai, about 350 calories. It pretty much made my life better. I also had an apple that I picked up from the produce vendor that trucks up fresh produce once every 2 weeks spring-fall. Yum! I brought strawberries for lunch...so really excited about that. Tonight, is Thursday Girls Day! ....or dinner night with two of my besties (Dukey and Bean). Dukey has a cold, so she probably won't make it, but I'm still excited to hang out with Bean. Before I do that though, I plan to go on a bike ride with Smelly Jr....or maybe Zumba??? (if it comes in the mail today!)
I hope you all are doing marvelous! Here is a quote that I am loving today.

Tuesday 4/18/11
hello,
Today is Tuesday...which means Biggest Loser will be on, as well as a new Deadliest Catch. :D My day wasn't so bad. Work was super busy again because we are cutting checks tomorrow and I had to get all the payables ready and double check that they were correct. However, it did make the day go by fast. Now, I am making spaghetti with sugar-free spaghetti sauce. The sugar-free spaghetti sauce isn't that bad...really, not in a I haven't had a regular pepsi in years, so diet pepsi tastes terrific sort of way. After dinner, my cuhshin (cousin) Mel and I are going to walk from my house to scow bay...probably a four mile walk...idk... and then we are going to watch Smoke Signals! which is one of my all time fav movies. It's about indians on the res and specifically follows a young man and his friend as they travel cross-country to pick up his father's (who left when he was young) ashes. It is really funny...especially if you can relate to it. I am really excited to watch it, I haven't seen it in about a year, maybe longer. One of my favorite dialogs is:
Victor Joseph: You gotta look mean or people won't respect you. White people will run all over you if you don't look mean. You gotta look like a warrior! You gotta look like you just came back from killing a buffalo!
Thomas Builds-the-Fire: But our tribe never hunted buffalo - we were fishermen.
Victor Joseph: What?! You want to look like you just came back from catching a fish? This ain't "Dances With Salmon" you know!
.
and favorite quote: "it's a great day to be indigenous."
Anywho, my Zumba DVDs have yet to come in...hopefully tomorrow. I am off to whip up some chow and then take my obese dog for a walk.

Mondays suck
hello all!
Today is Monday...yuck. I hate Mondays. Today was more stressful than most Mondays. I have been out of the office for a week and my boss has been out of the office for two weeks; leaving the accounting dept empty. So we had a lot of catching up to do. Not only that, but everybody expects their paychecks early....bleh. I weighed in today...I have remained at the same weight. This is no bueno. I have made a promise to myself to start eating better and exercising every day possible. Today, I am going to walk around the loop. (which is around a six mile loop of road around the main part of town) Tomorrow hopefully, my Zumba dvds will be in and I can start those. AK mail takes FOREVER!
I am kinda bummed lately because I haven't been getting much of a response for my challenge, nor have I received as many comments and views as usual. I know my trip was boring, but I would love some feed back on things you may want to hear more on. I will do my best to keep you all up to date as well as entertained.
Also, if you have friends, family, etc a distance away from you, a great way to show some love is to go over to Guin and Bare It jard cupcakes and send over cupcakes that won't be stale by the time they receive them. Great idea for college students and troops over seas.

traveled...
hello everyone!
I am back home! yay! I hate traveling. Most people like it, but I have lived outside of my hometown for 4 years and I just want to stay here for a while....plus plane rides are awful. And it's hard to eat well when you are attending trainings. So I am pretty worried about this weigh-in. The good news is that I will be home for a while now (hopefully) and I can really get down to business. I am planning on going on a walk with Smelly Jr today. I still haven't received my Zumba DVDs yet. I am really looking forward to getting those in. They are currently in Washington, so I should get them within the next 2-3 days. I am going shopping at some point today....or tomorrow, so I am trying to think of ideas for meals that aren't high in calories, but will give my husband enough to survive.
I don't know if I've already told you, but my husband is a tall skinny guy. He needs the calories. We look ridiculous walking down the street because he is about 6' tall and skinny and I am 5'3 and well-rounded. ;) One of the reasons I want to loose weight is so that girls don't look at him and question whether or not I am really with him. He is a handsome guy and I can't help but think that there are girls thinking he is stuck with me, rather than chose me. I know that I don't have anything to worry about, as far as him taking interest in other women, but it can be difficult when I see skinny, beautiful girls taking a 2nd look at my husband. On the occasion that a guy checks me out or hits on me, I almost feel like it is necessary to inform my husband...so he knows I have options too. Sadly, the men who find me attractive, aren't handsome young men. So I restrain myself from informing him about the smelly guy that lives with his parents and breathes through his mouth. Cause I mean, I don't want him to get jealous. My point is, it can be hard for me to feel adequate when I am near 200 lbs. It's nothing my husband has done to make me feel that way. I just ate away at my confidence...seriously.
