Blogger app is stupid

I wrote an awesome post. Then blogger app froze and lost it. Then I had to uninstall and reinstall Blogger app to get it to work again.

Basically I'm back to basics. Starting today.

Lets see how this week goes!

Happy Sunday

Some would say happy mother's day. I won't. Because not everyone has children. And not everyone has a mother. I don't, and I won't assume you do either.

So happy Sunday. Because if you have a mom you should tell her you love her all the time... And not just one day a year.

Lazy Saturday

Last night, I ate dinner too late and then we feel asleep on the couch. We ended up just staying on the couch all night BC I thought it would be better for me... But I ended up coughing most of the night and bringing up peanut water... BC I had eaten peanuts last. Not fun.

Today I was LAZY. Well I did like 4 loads of laundry. And even though I tend to give myself food freedom on weekends, I didn't really take advantage of that today. I made some turkey manwich but it didn't turn out as good as I had wanted it to. And other than that and some salted caramel popcorn, it's been a boring food day.

Then we feel asleep on the couch at 730 and just woke up at 10. W.T.F.

I love lazy Saturdays.

It's FRIDAY!!!!

Can't you literally FEEL the excitement of those two words?!?

I went to the gym last night. I didn't push myself but I got a good work out. 15 min on treadmill warm up, 2 circuits on the weights with lower numbers, and another 10 on the recumbant bike as a cool down. I then did some stretching.

It was hot BC it got into the 80's here in Baltimore yesterday... And the gym didn't turn on the AC. And that was ok. It made you sweat... And I sweated!

With the weather change plus exercising, Donny tightened up so I PB most of what I ate last night... Including the Powerade Zero. But it happens. When the weather settles, she will calm down.

I have been slacking on my food journal. I've just gotten out if the habit and keep forgetting. I'm going to work on that this weekend.

So that's it! My boss comes back Monday so fingers crossed that I did a good job while she was gone!

Struggles

Starting a new job. Learning new coworkers and job duties and schedules. It's exhausting!

I'm eating more... Much more. I feel like I'm eating all day. Even though it's healthy stuff like yogurt and almonds, I'm thrown off routine. And I don't like it. I have been good about packing my lunch though, which has saved money and calories.

I'm going to join the gym tomorrow. It's now or never. And I'm going to make the time now. And I decided to return to basics and keep a food journal again. I've been relying on my restriction to limit my food instead of me being proactive and tracking calories and protein.

Not being able to blog daily has also keep me from sticking to routine. I hope that even though it's difficult that I can post more consistently... Even though I have to do it from my phone.

I'm really nervous about joining the gym... It's been so long that I'm afraid that I will fail... Or look massively stupid. Either way, I'm going forward.

I'm also going to weigh myself every Friday morning at the office to keep myself on track.

Fingers crossed that these new changes will help me start moving down again.

One question

Is a fitbit flex worth the cost? Does it work?

Ahem...hello?

I know that I've been a posting slacker lately. Used to be that I would get to work in the morning, drink my protein coffee, write a post , and start my day. However, in order to keep my new job,  I've severely limited my online time at work to professional stuff only. It blows, but you know what would blow more? Unemployment.

So now I post sporadically from my phone. It's better than nothing but makes waxing poetic more difficult.

I'm loving the new job. I'm crazy busy. Everyday is a new challenge. I rarely get to finish my protein coffee. I still feel like I have good restriction.

Today, I spotted the shadow of my collarbones. O.M.G. I was so excited! I haven't weighed lately, but there is a scale in one of the pre-admit rooms that is used to do the weigh ins for their biggest loser challenge... And I totally plan on weighing occasionally. My next surgeon appt isn't until September.. Unless I have some issues... So I need to work at staying on plan. SMS the scale helps me to see my progress.

I still need to pull the trigger on the gym. I plan to do that in the next week or so. I've been walking most mornings... Except this week when we had biblical flooding... I'm sure you saw the street collapsing footage on the national news.... Yeah.. Fun stuff.

So that's been my life. I'm not regretting the decision to take this job at all. I needed a challenge... And God brought me one.

Happy Thursday!
