Rawr *cough cough*

So, I apparently haven't written in a few days . . . growl.  Lol.  not much to catch up on to be honest.  Working on getting back on the band wagon with the diet and on exercising daily.  Oh and finding a job.  lol.  Today was one of those days that I had high hopes that were a little bashed but its ok. :)  I had a job interview that I drove over an hour tog et to that apparently they didn't want to give me a second interview for *sigh*.  Thats okay though.  I have another interview on Thursday for a receptionist position.  :)  I think I would like that one better anyways.  its only fifteen minutes away, paid bridge toll, 3 days on 4 days off and starting at $10.50 an hour.  I call that a nice job. :)  now I just to make sure I land it.  woot wootie woot :o)

Oh crap

Okay so apparently I haven't written an entry in a few days. . . even though i always have a tab up for it *sigh*.  Yesterday was one of those days where i just said screw it and decided that I would go ahead and splurge a little.  Today is going to be much more on course :o).  I did have a little treat when I went to order Killians birthday cake but it was only a taste of the buttercream filling. :o)  It was really good though!  lol.

Other than that i have taken the past couple of days off from walking my 2 miles.  The shoes I have make it harder than it needs to be so until I can get a nice pair of cross trainers I am going to alternate walking with an at home workout.  Today I did the Golds Gym Door Gym work out.  It burned almost 300 calories and was absolutely awesome!  Even if I am not burning a ton of calories with it, its helping me to build lean muscle.  Lean muscle will help me to burn more calories.  Woot woot woot! :)

I should be able to write another entry in a bit.  For now I am off to have fun with a nap. :)

*Italian Fist*

I shake my fist at Calories and tell them to be damned!  I am going to lose this weight!  I will fight tooth, nail, foot, hand, club and anythign else I can find in order to combat my body and whip it into shape.  there is no turning around and going back.  There is no 'its to hard this time' damn it.  I am tired of looking this way and feeling this way and I am going to make my own difference!

There is no time like the present to make a wonderful change in your life.  And that is just what I am doing.  Growl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so five days steady I have logged into MFP and kicked butt.  Oh yea!  Today has been a kind of inbetween day, but overall nice.  I have been talking with Pedro back and forth a little bit.  I got in some good exercise.  And I have a JOB INTERVIEW TOMORROW!  Oh yea!  Did anyone see that coming?  Im excited!!!!  WOOT WOOT WOOT!

Hopefully it will go well. :)

*evil laughter*

*stretches*  Okay peeps!  So this is how my day has gone so far.  It has been rather relaxing and really efficient.  I have almost all of the backed up laundry done, I did some dishes, cooked dinner, picked up Killians room, picked up the livingroom, cleaned a bit in the laundry room, folded laundry (put most of it away), hung out in the back yard and did some work out there plus got a quaint little walk in at Safeway when I went to pick up more laundry detergent and dish soap. :)

On another note I had my heart ripped out a bit by Jack.  But its okay because I am a tough one and I realize that life will work out as it is intended to.  I just need to play my part, be patient and keep heading in the direction of forward and upward. :o)  And as soon as the child is asleep I am going to get shitfaced again.  It helps to numb the emotional issues (and dont' assume I am an alcoholic or a bad influence on my son because I drink after he goes to sleep with my roommate in order to wake up the next day feeling refreshed and happy about life).

Stares at mirror

So today Killian played without me there supervising (at Ms. Rita's house next door) while Bryan and I went to try to pick up his birthday presents . . . OMG!  Im not ready for this!  I was ready to have a panic attack the entire time we were gone.  That was the first time he played at another kids house . . . omg.  I feel like he is growing way way too fast for me. *cries*

On another sad and depressing note, on my weigh in today I have gained 21 pounds since Feb.  How the hell did that happen?  I was thinking it might be because its *that* time of the month.  I am going to reweigh after its gone so that I will have a better perspective of if its water weight or if I really have gotten that out of control with what I have been eating. *cries*

Today was a good day overall.  Worked out in the back yard for a bit cleaning up and watering.  Then went to the store (see first para) and then came home, made a wonderful dinner and am now sitting down watching Avatar with Bryan, Killian, Jake (the dog) and Butters (the cat).  How we all wound up in the same small vicinity at the same exact time I have no clue.  Its rather rare but its nice.  I feel completely at home and comfortable. :o)  Surrounded by those I love, those who love me and watching a movie with a sexy blue guy. How much better can it get?

:o)

Talk more later
Katie

Muah hahaha!

So!  Today has been extremely interesting, as was last night.  I started talking to an awesome guy named Pedro :)  Hes a sweetheart.  Born in TJ, lived a lot of his life in Cali and is in the Army now getting discharged soon.  Were just friends right now but I would like to see where things go :)

As for the weight loss i think bryan and I are on a pretty good roll to be honest.  We fudged on a few things over the weekend but were still well on track with a paleo based diet :)  I'm feeling stoked!  lol.  And I don't feel depressed about the diet or anything.  I actually feel good and confident which is strange for me to be honest.  I honestly think that what we are donig now is going to make a good difference for the rest of our lives.  A good base of healthy living with great benefits.  I think it will be interesting to see where we are in a few months :)  I think we will both be a lot more fit to be honest. 

Now we still have to work on getting more exercise in but I think we can make it happen.  I realy do.  We just have to find a median on what to do :)  we'll figure it out soon and get rolling on it heheheh :D

A day off

Post for 7/8/2011

Okay so yesterday equated out to being a day off.  Its the time of the month for being dragon lady and I just wasn't feeling it at that point to be dead honest.  I don't feel bad about taking a day off though.  I feel like it might be something I have to do in order to keep on track.  Just have a day like once every so often, pre-planned of course, that I can eat processed foods.  I'm not talking go out to eat, just eat a couple pieces of gluten free bread or a tamale or empanada or concha.  No overly major changes that would permanently put me off track; just some good old home made food that will hit the spot for naughtiness.  lol

Bryan and I had a really good conversation as to what we can allow in, of course with strict moderation, and what we can do exercise wise together.  He wants to replace running with something and we can't walk or jog because of Killian.  So we are considering doing tae bo, I don't think Bryans too big on the idea, we have tried p90 x and seem to have an issue keeping it going, other than that the only other options seem to be belly dancing or pilates/yoga.  I honestly can't see Bryan doing any of those.  Then again he might be amazing at them. ah hahahaha!  lol.

Oh and I go into the dr (as soon as I schedule) for a palpation and break up of the calcifications to see what is left inside them.  I have my fingers crossed that its just the mushy material that the dr was talking about.  In any case I don't care what it is as long as it benign and not a tumor or cancer anymore.  I have my fingers crossed and am hoping/believing beyond hope. :)  Chin up!

Will write more later :)

*stares at muscles*

Today. . . well today was definitely a good day. :)  I came in way under my calorie goal, got some good healthy exercise and Killian wasn't as bad of a bug as he could have been.  We went to the beach and harrassed a lot of crabs.  Bryan picked a few up and almost got munched by one :)  Killian had a blast helping us tip rocks to look for them and running away from them.  All I could do was laugh!

At the same time I am having a bit of a low poitn because I feel like I am useless since I don't have a job.  But chin up!  I tell it to everyone else I will be damned if I don't follow my own advice!  *waves finger in air dramatically*

Well I think that is about it for the day :)  Eventually I will figure out how to include a copy of my food for the day so y'all can have a look see :)

Katie

*muscle flex!*

:)  So today is a good day!  I was under my calorie goals, under my fat and carb goals as well so I am feeling completely stoked!

We started on the Paleo diet, which basically combines everything I was trying to do into one convenient source.  We have been sucessful too.  We went out on Saturday, Sunday and Today and we bought  no fastfood at all!  We did drink some soda but its ok.  Slip ups are allowed and its not like it was a huge slip up.  We had hours of waiting to do.

So four days of success on the diet so far.  I'm not having hunger pains, cravings (for anything at all) or feelings of 'starvation'.  It feels a little weird but at the same time it feels good.  Like I know that we are getting somewhere already. :)  And I have more energy!  I'm loving it! hehehe

Well thats all for tonight really.  I will post more soon. :)
