okay, I feel bad for not journaling recently. All I can say in my defense is if you knew what was going on around here - you'd totally understand! Sometimes I think I AM going crazy. Anyway - my body is paying the price for my stress and it stops today. I've worked way too hard and way too long, and gone through way too much to get to this point! Nope, not gonna let it get the best of me. Anyway, I'm NOT weighing and and I will not even step on that scale as long as I feel like a bloated, stressed out blob. So hopefully... in a few days.

Don't even want to get into what's dragging me down other than to say - kids! Okay, one in particular and she's not even a kid! Twenty-one and killing me.

Didn't work out today, but due to a lot of other circumstances, I've been decorating the house for Christmas. I know...I know... way early! But with family coming over Thanksgiving, then less than a week between visits when another family member will be here - and for the two days before we leave for our trip. TOO stressed out to wait and hope I can get it decorated in those several days - not when I have to pack for us both, try on stuff to make sure it'll fit and try to remember everything needed. So, no workout today - but just had some laser hair removal done yesterday and was told no workout for 24 - 48 hours following. Okay, works for me.

Four weeks from tomorrow. That is the day I will have to appear in front of many of my husband's co-workers and all of the "big wigs" in a bathing suit! omg... So why have I not been breaking my butt working out daily and recording my food intake and watching every little morsel that goes in? I don't know. I think I've got myself freaked out some here.

So.... breathe.... in and out. Okay. Freaking out is not going to help, that's for sure. Anyway, the trip is in the Bahamas at Atlantis, so it should be AWESOME!

The first night is a welcoming party and it's Pirate Night. So I've had a lot of fun the past few days picking up pieces to make up our costumes. I think I look... kind of cute in it if I do say so myself. hahahaha... like that modesty? But it was fun and it's been years since I dressed up. And best part? I think my entire costume has been less than about $15 right now, and about the same for my husband's. I posted a picture on FB, but can't remember how to get pictures on here. lol... I never remember how to do stuff on the computer. Well, except Google everything under the sun, shop, email and stay on this site most of the time!

Well, have a great rest of the evening and weekend. If you care to see me in my wench costume and lovely wig :D then highlight the web address below, right click and select the Go to "http://a1.sphotos. ... etc.)

Just opened the FS site and saw I FEEL LIKE CRAP. Which, as bad as it sounds, brought out the first hint of a smile in me today. At the risk of sharing a bit too much information, hubby was in downstairs bathroom, so I ran up the stairs to the master bath and slammed the door (yes, one of those kinds of mornings :D). And just a minute too late, my daughter yells through the door - don't use that toilet - the plunger's in the other bathroom (where my son was showering)! Oh Lord. Not really thinking it was plugged up, I guess, I flushed. Yep, fatal mistake.

Needless to say, this is up there with one of the most disgusting ways to start the day. Even though I've practically bathed my hands and feet in almost straight bleach, I can't get the mental picture of ... poo water on my skin. ugh...

Well, breakfast will be delayed for a while this morning. Chalk this up with things that make you go "beu-ooh-ooh-ooh" >_<

Weighed in only to keep myself accountable. lol... well, I guess if that's what I was doing, I would have weighed in a week ago after my time off of eating right! So this means my color will change again... I think I need to be at 127.2 or something to keep my line blue. Or is it green?? I think blue. Anyway, drives me nuts when you're three pounds from goal and your color changes! Oh well. One of these days I may hit 125 again and figure out how to STAY there.

Food is going much better recently and have had a couple of really good workouts. Haven't worked out yet today - schedule got thrown off as I'm to pick up my son a couple hours earlier from the airport than planned. Hopefully I'll want to work out when I get back. Taking of in about 20 min. or so.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far.

Need I say it yet again? It's time to get serious. I took about 9 days off - ate and drank pretty much what I felt like. Okay, didn't eat what I felt like all the time, just more than I would trying to maintain. And kept the exercise up. But if anyone notices, I have that obnoxious Weigh In Now crap up at the top. And it can wait.

I feel SO bloated and will not get on the scale for a few days. No way - I might just completely lose it. Denial? uh... yeah! But I prefer to think of it as self-preservation.

Had a sort of crappy workout today. One of the Crunch ones. Cute guy, semi fun routine, but not a serious calorie burner. Spent 45 min. and barely hit over 200 calories. I just know I have to shake things up if I want to see results, and doing the Piloxing dvd I enjoy so much won't help if I do it daily.

So much stress going on around here - car problems for three of the four cars. Some serious - one transmission out, another possible transmission on the way out, Lord only knows what's wrong with the third one. Mine is the only semi-reliable vehicle right now and it needs brakes! Then I've got "kid" stress... omg, I thought it would get easier as they grew up. Not one of them, nope, not at all. Worse and it's a big problem since I feel there are psychological issues that need addressing. Hubby still sick, but getting better. But throw these damn car problems on him - our only mechanic, and it's getting to him, as well. I think the health issues here are far worse than the car problems, and those are fairly serious.

So stress and stress eating and stress drinking, I think. No excuses - I know what I turn to for "comfort" and it's not helping MY mental outlook. So it's back to the basics - journaling, exercising and recording my food intake. Well, the exercise really hasn't stopped anyway, it's the food that has gotten out of control.

Didn't want to journal as I have nothing super positive to say. Except I haven't given up and I won't. Sorry for being a bummer here.
