Hi,
Been very busy since my last journal entry. Two employees quit so now I am doing my work plus their work until replacement employees can be hired. (Very stressful and I am a stress eater. I have been drinking a lot of water to try to fill up when I start feeling the stress.)
I have been invited to a formal dress birthday party on March 27th. Order a R&M Richard 3/4 sleeve embellished evening gown in color green from JC Penny. (The dress arrived on Valentines day, beautiful dress. I can get in the dress and zip it up but it puts a lot of attention to my stomach which at present is where the fat on my body is concentrated.) I have never worn an evening gown so this is my first dress and I really want to look good. I have hung the dress up so I can see it every morning and every night as a visual reminder. (I have never had to use shapewear in my entire as I believe in working to loose excess weight instead of trying to conceal it, never the less I order some shaping garments as back up plan to wear under the dress. I had no idea how profitable the business of shapewear really was and how women wear these garments everyday the few garments I tried on as a test made me feel like a stuffed sausage.) My goal is to wear the dress without the garments and feel beautiful with all my natural curves as I have done in the past. Looking for work out suggestions for abdominals if you have them.
I also received my fitbit and working on setting it up today so I can start wearing tomorrow.
Exercise Yesterday:
5 am
Cleaned & Mopped both bathrooms and kitchen.
1 load of laundry, stripped bed to mattress and remade bed with clean bed linens.
Cleaned & Mopped tile floor in front of my apartment.
8 am
Went over to the church to start the demolition clean up of the Sunday School rooms and storage area. I moved tables and packed 8 garbage bags with old materials dating as far back as 1979 this included old furniture. Can you say new Decade clean start (No teen or adult volunteer's arrived to help as previously requested the week before,, called for assistance and one 13 year old boy responded but needed a ride. Picked him up at 9 and we went back to working (Feed him breakfast and lunch) had to go find him a couple of times and found him sitting down playing games on cellphone. Got him back into work mode and handed him a broom and dust pan to clean up dust and dead bugs found behind old furniture. (Classroom has not been used for a classroom for at least 6 years. Nice area but was used as a storage area better yet a dumping ground for peoples unwanted home items. (Now residing in a dumpster) We worked until 1 and left the furniture and bags near a door for the guys to move with a note stating "Garbage no rescue for anything trash it all". Left note as older members have a bad habit of keeping broken and unused items stating we can fix this or it can be used. JOKE it's all trash. New furniture order and scheduled to arrive by end of the month along with new and unused toys and games. ) Dropped my helper off at his home and proceeded to donate a huge box of children's books off at Goodwill. You would think I would go home and sleep right. (Wrong) Soaked in a hot tub with Epson salt as I knew my muscles would be sore today. 1 hour later my leg muscles throbbing and relaxing didn't help so I spent another 30 minutes on exercise bike before taking two Advil PM's before calling it a day.
Woke up without any upper body muscle ache but my poor knees are a little soar. (2 Arthritic Knees, but if I keep moving don't usually have pain or stiffness. I usually joke when people start to pity me when they see me using a cane. "Don't let the cane fool you I can do everything except run.)
It's been raining all night and most of the day so my internet connection is spotty. Gotta sign off but looking forward to hearing from my fat secret family.
