I call a Mulligan on today!

I make oatmeal for breakfast every day.  1 cup of skim milk and a half a cup of quick oats cooked on the stove.

I actually forgot the oats today.

I had to add them, and it took forever.

Causing me to forget that I have class and I need to wear contacts.

I remembered my dance clothes, and not my contacts.  This I realized at 11.

can I go home and go back to bed and restart today?  Please?

Seriously, this absent minded professor shit has got to go!

Little scale victories

After switched from the Wii to a real scale... I've made a realization.

Weight Watchers was right.  The numbers on the Wii were off.

But I've accepted that and moved on.  And today hit a milestone:

(Ignore the gained 2 pounds since September 5th thing).  As you can see, the numbers weren't as impressive as they were on the Wii, but it proves that I am making progress.  I know I've been not making the best of choices of late.  I'm going to strive to make healthier lunch choices this week, and make sure there isn't as much in the house to snack on.

But at 13.4 pounds lost, I'm back to where I was before this whole gaining and losing the same pounds ride began.

Can it be not Monday now?

This weekend was rather low key.  I had a migraine on Saturday, and Sunday was spent cooking.  And by cooking, I mean that I had the crockpot working, and the sink was full.

I will admit, I was a lazy ass all weekend.  Saturday I was sidelined with a migraine.  I only managed to make it to Target.  I was out of coffee, which, in my opinion, is a tragedy.  For $6.99 I have Pumpkin Spice coffee!  And it's good!


Sunday, was grocery shopping.  While at the store, I got a bright idea:  Mexican Lasagna.  I got the ingredients to make my wonderful Crock Pot Margarita Shredded Chicken, and got to work on it when I got home.  Thawing the frozen chicken and making it took all day.  Needless to say it was leftover pizza for dinner.

So the kitchen is a mess, I've been lazy and snacky all day.  This means many, many other things never got done, including laundry and my dance homework.

I slacked.  I know.  I was bad.

So today I'm paying for it.  I was supposed to go out with the ladies tonight.  I had to cancel.  Homework, and extremely necessary laundry (not to mention dishes) are getting in the way.

I slacked.  Not I'm paying for it.

My house smells like a Mexican Cantina!!

I got a brilliant idea today! I was going to make Mexican Lasagna, starring my crock pot margarita chicken.

Then pizza appeared for lunch. More than enough for lunch and dinner. So the plans changed. I'll make the chicken today and the lasagna tomorrow.

Then I realized that tomorrow both the Spousal Equivalent and I will be out tomorrow.

Another new plan: I'll build the lasagna tomorrow when I get home, and bake it Tuesday.

But in the making of the margarita chicken, I emptied the tequila bottle.

The changes in plans aside, it's been a rather relaxed weekend. I have a super- busy week coming up, so today is a nice break.

Falling well short of my goal

My step goal for the day, for everyday, is 10,000 steps. I was at 2000 when the migraine hit. I've been on the couch for a few hours, and since my meds won't touch the headache, I'll probably be here for a few more hours.

It's frustrating, but since I can't stand without my head spinning, it's my reality today.

I just have to take today and take care of myself. Tomorrow I can get my steps.

The return of the GleeCap!

I can't believe I missed this last week.

So last week, it's the beginning of school, and the Glee kids are popular!

And with popularity comes the meanness.  The season opened with the veteran kids being rather mean to the new kids.  (Like many typical high school popular kids are).  The new kids being:  Unique/Wade (owns the heels like no woman can) and Marley (daughter of the lunch lady).

It made me uncomfortable.  It looked like it made them uncomfortable too.

The veteran kids finally told off the popular bunch.  Watch the popularity of the Glee kids sink.

Yesterday Brittany hit rock bottom... while singing Brittany Spears... It was odd.... I get that the kids want Brit to feel good.. but man.  Lipsyncing?

So.. here's what we have:

• Rachel- having a HARD time of it in NY.  
• Kurt- Left Ohio to join Rachel.  Everyone agreed that he was too fabulous for Ohio
• Blaine- Going it alone, for now
• Brittany- Actually is going to try to graduate
• Tina- Broke up with Mike.... they need to write the girl some personality
• Wade/Unique- I'm SHOCKED he ins't slushied more.  But good for him/her!
• The Puckerman Bunch- Yes.. buck's dad sired a bunch of kids.  Are we surprised?
• Cassandra July-  She was such a bitch during the first episode... until the Spousal Equivalent figured it out.  She's a little resentful of the kids doing what she couldn't.  She's also preparing them for the harsh reality of Broadway 

I'm curious about Finn..... hows's he handling the army?

New toys!

So my fitbit and scale came yesterday.  The scale was a bitch to set up, but we succeeded.

So I declared today as my day of starting over.  I have electronic activity motivation, and an accurate scale.

So I weighed myself this morning....

And this is what happened...

A little discouraging.

But I know I have the tools to make those numbers do down.  I just need to do it!

How did I start?  I took the stairs this morning.  I have errands to run this afternoon. And I need to walk to get my lunch.

I also need to be extremely mindful of the snacks in the house.

But anyways... The tracker was set up and on my by noon yesterday.  For a half day, yesterday's stats weren't bad:



But I can do better.
