"Do you remember
oooh do you remember
You and me
you there, always there for me
here there beside you
We know
we know who you are
who you are
who you are when you shine and you shine."

My sister is a beautiful soul. She chases the garbageman down the street just to deliver a muffin to him so she can hear T laugh.

My scale is and has been broken

I am utterly co dependant upon it and today realized I cannot live without it. I have to go play the easter bunny for Ash so I will pick one up then.

Le sigh.

Upon donating my energy to someone or something else I have nothing left for me

"Nothing on top but a bucket and a mop

See alot up here but don't be scared
Who needs actions when youve got words?"


So perhaps buying a scale yesterday was not at all in my best intrests.

I am on a major major stall

**could it be because I discovered sugar does not make me dump?**

Hmmmm most likely

I really really must get myself together.

I really have not been dwelling in the cyberwold lately.

I have too much real life going on despite my best attempts to escape.

My mom had surgery today and I took the day off to accompany her. She was there for me during my wls so it was the least I could do.

We recently celebrated my nephews 1 year old birthday.

Rosie pulled an april fools joke on my yesterday. She called and left me a voicemail that she was 30 minutes outside of Phoenix. I frantically attempted to schedule the rest of that day off, as well as Thursday. I ended up looking like a complete schizo when I cancelled. Now I'm thinking that I could have really used that extra day.

I am beyond exhausted. I feel like I am behind on everything and cannot catch up. I feel like I am stuck in a hamster wheel.

My weight is not dropping. I've been hovering near onderland for fingever!!!

all i have to say is please please please don't let me be preggo.


"So I hired a plane to take me to a place so far away from you. Eventually we begin to see that we could be completly free. And I could get away from you and you could get away from me and we could both live seperatly in our cities in the sun.
Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round spinning round Wheels keep on spinning round spinning round and round....."

Hey!

It's nice to see you around!

I'm stalling too...and for sure I'm not pregnant, just spending too much time in the land of peanut butter. It's not because of exercise either--I'm on that f'ing scale daily and it's become my morning aerobic workout. I'm developing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. (And Tourette's too...I'm coughing, like clearing my throat, ALL THE TIME!)

You can send your thoughts of pregnancy this way...we're going to try again this summer. (Not that we aren't trying now...just that summer would be more opportune...) I'm not totally sold yet on another youngin', as the one we have wears me out and cannot yet bring us the remote control or bottles of water from the fridge. I also would like potty training to occur before the next one arrives. I can't believe the diapers we go through!

How is Ash?

-Mike

PS...are you into the Breeders at all? They've got a new album Tuesday...I might suggest it's their finest work if I had already heard it from some source, but of course, I never would do anything so wrong as to experience something that hasn't yet been officially released... Also, the band She and Him--I'm liking that too...it's that girl from the movie ELF-Zooey Deschanel (spelling?) and some guy. I like her voice...

Hi Mike.....Big Cyber Wave

I'm so NOT pregnant!!! I'm happy beyond belief about it.

I joined Curves today. It wasnt nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. Around 35.00 a month. I can swing that. There is normally a non refundable registration fee but they called the owner today and she agreed that I could bring in a 10 lb bag of groceries and it would be waived. She simply extended a promotion that had ended 03-31.

So I worked out and it felt goooood. I havent been doing enough and I know it. The gym at my complex is way too claustrophobic and too open. The mirrored wall doesnt help either.

The plan is to go Mondays and Wednesdays bright and early at 6am. I know that I will make excuses not to go at night. Fridays around 10 or so. Tuesday and Thursday nights are optional but I'm gonna try to go then as well.

I needed this. I know that exercise is vital to my success and I also know that I've been slacking. Curves holds you accountable. They set my 6 month goal at being able to squeeze into size 14. I told them that I had dropped 50 lbs since December but it didn't faze them. So my goal is to be between 135-140. It's doable!

Time to really earn my gym rate moniker.


And yes,
I love Kim. I will check out the breeders fer sure.

I lurve my curves.

I got in six days last week. The combo of cardio and resistance is over before you even think about it.

The whole 6am thing didn't pan out so well. It was a bit rushed and mornings are so very hectic anyway. I go around 6 at night and I'm usually the only one in there. I love that.

I'm trying to not be so obsessive about the scale. Curves weighs and measures once a month so I'll give an update then and celebrate making ONEDURLAND for sure. Sometimes my scale says i'm there sometimes it doesnt. And there is almost an 8lb difference between weighing on carpet and and the bathroom floor.

I certainly feel better tho. I did fall asleep at work a few times last week
I'm sure my body will catch up soon.

Default still here

I am STUCK STALLED STOP

all those bad S words. I'm hitting the gym almost daily. I have definition in my arms. That is beyond exciting.

Ths scale is not moving though. Some days, some hours, I'm under 200. And then I'm not.

I keep telling myself I will get there but I secretly fear it is over and I will have to work my ass off from this point forward.

But I can do that

*goes searching to see if there is such a thing as a loooong four month out STALL*
