Who's interested?

I am totally interested in starting a book club here in Fredericksburg. I know some of the ladies who read my blog are big readers, so maybe some of you would like to get together to talk about books together? Whaddya think?

Dinner night

Last night Jenn and I did our first official "Dinner night" (even though we ate dinner at her mom's house and watched a movie that one time). It was pretty good, I made a vegetarian corn chowder, and it was AWESOME. I was debating whether I should bring the leftovers for lunch today, but I decided that I would rather have it for dinner.

I bought this cookbook this weekend and honestly, it is one the coolest vegetarian cookbooks I've ever bought. Although, take into account that I've only made one recipe out of it yet, but it was AWESOME. I also skimmed through the rest of the book and there are a lot of recipes that I am excited to try.

There's something about...

I think I already mentioned this, but I signed up at the beginning of this month to do 8 "Personal Touch" sessions with my Jazzercise instructor. Well last night I had a session and it really kicked my butt. I was so sore last night when I got home that I could hardly brush my teeth without shaking, I was so weak that I almost felt like I was gonna puke. I suppose that's a good thing, but last night it didn't feel so great. I'm alright today, but we'll see when the soreness kicks in.

It's 13:12, do you know where your food is?

Mine is in the fridge at home and it better not let me eat all of it tonight, because I have to weigh in tomorrow morning at Weight Watchers and I want it to be a good one. I wasn't on my best behavior this week, seeing that I went to Grandma's house 2x for dinner (once on Sunday, and again on Tuesday evening). Also I just got my monthly bill yesterday so I was defnintely doing some hormonal eating, and I'm sure I'm carrying some extra water weight right now. So it's not gonna be pretty. But if I can manage to keep a lid on it tonight, it may not be so bad tomorrow morning when I step on the scale for the moment of truth.

I don't know what my problem is lately. When I first started Weight Watcher's I did so well about saying "No" to certain foods, or at least being able to stop myself from eating too much of certain foods, and it's like right now I have no self control whatsoever and I just eat whatever is in front of me and I eat a TON of it. Could be because it's winter time and I tend to eat more in the winter for whatever reason. Who knows, all I know is I need to have more self control, and I don't know where to get it, it's not like you can buy it in the store or anything.

Lame.

And another thing

Q-Tip had blood in his poo this morning. That bastard, he should know that he's only allowed to get sick when I have money to take him to the vet.

Alright

So so far I have failed. I smoked a few cigarettes over the weekend, I don't know why, but I just wanted to. I'm very dissapointed in myself though, so I guess that's a good start.

I also CAN NOT stop myself from eating lately. Like I KNOW that I shouldn't eat tortilla chips by the handful, or 4 donut holes, or 3 brownies (they were small), or whatever else, but I just can't stop myself from doing. It's like I think to myself AS I'M EATING "I shouldn't be doing this" and then I go and grab another. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

It's Day 4 now

I'm feeling pretty good, but I am still in the mood to eat the whole world :(

I started my "personal touch" sessions with the instructor at Jazzercise and it was pretty good, although I'm not sore like I was told I would be, but it's only the first day after, sometimes it hurts more after the second day? I dunno, I'm gonna keep it up though and see how it goes.

Tomorrow evening is the annual awards ceremony for my company and I totally forgot about getting something dressy and formal to wear, so I'm gonna have to go shopping either tonight or tomorrow after work and hope I find something that I like, which is hard to do when you're last minute shopping. Grrr.

Day 2, no cigarettes

Diane, make a note of this:

It's day two without smoking and I feel like eating the world. I need some good old fashioned apple pie.

Anyway...
I haven't had any smokes today and I forgot to buy myself some gum, so I feel like munching munch munch munching and I don't have enough snacks to last me all day. In fact, of the food that I brought for myself today all I have left is my pasta salad for lunch and a small can of V8 juice and some applesauce. I think I am going to have to make a trip to WaWa or Sheetz and get myself some chewing gum and soda to tide myself over. I wonder how long it takes before the need for an oral fixation goes away and I will feel like normal again?

Happy January 7th!

Monday monday/ can't trust that day

So I started using the patch this morning, the nicotine patch that is. I haven't had any cigarette's yet today, which is a good start. I'm NOT going to have any cigarettes for the rest of my life! That's going to be my mantra everytime I get a craving for a smoke. No cigarettes EVER!

Saw Sweeny Todd last night, I liked it but Aaron didn't. Saw Olivia and Katherine there, that was cool. The movie was really dark and graphic, but I liked it.

Saturday I layed around and was lazy all freakin day, I felt kinda bad about that, but whatevs, I must have needed that.

It's a new year!

How about that? This year I promise to not get depressed and try to stay as positive about life and all that as possible. I'm back at work today and totally dragging, but that's ok because it looks like everyone is. Really all I want to do is go home and go back to bed, but that's not possible today so...

Aaron and I flew back from Chicago yesterday, it was cold and snowy there, and now it's pretty cold and snowy here, so it's like we never left. I was really dissapointed because they cancelled the fireworks at Buckingham Fountain on New Year's Eve, which really sucked because those are the best fireworks ever :(

I have nothing exciting to write about now, so I'm just gonna end this. Laterski!
