my new jeans...

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

Well I got my new jeans today.. They are just the next size down so i have a pair of pants to wear when the size i'm wearing right now gets to big...

I don't know if i should open the package.. its just sitting in front of me.. i don't know why i'm worried about opening it.. but i am! what if they are freakishly too small?! what if they are just barely tight now and then i lose weight and they don't fit.. stupid to think i know but i just feel wierd about them! like i'm not ready for the package and i should have waited another week or so..

But this week i AM going to lose weight and a big chunk of it too!!! I'm determined to do everything right!!

Open them! When I go shopping, even if I can't wear the next size smaller comfortably, RIGHT now I still buy them and try them on each week until they fit! Report Inappropriate Comment

One of the best feelings I've experienced during my weight loss journey is to try on pants that are too tight and then a month later try them on and they fit...then a month later I try them on and they are too big! Sometimes you will lose inches when the scale might not budge. Go ahead and try them on and note how they fit. Then try them on again when you lose 5 or 10 pounds. Report Inappropriate Comment

Loved my weigh in!

Monday, September 13, 2010

So i'm down 4 pounds and thats AFTER i indulged in a few too many shots last night.. I was expecting such a good weigh in and then i got hit with my emotional news and well.. then i started in on a good amount of alcohol (which isn't the norm for me!) and i figured i blew it! So for me to still be down 4 pounds in 2 weeks is amazing!!! Especially considering that in that 2 weeks i had a birthday and a whole heck of a lot of cake =) overall i'm just really proud of myself =)

Wooooo I need some emotional support!!!

Sunday, September 12, 2010

So my door bell just rang and it was the Military Police telling me that my husband was either injured/killed overseas.. but it was for the lady who lived her before me.. so if you know me and read this JEFF IS FINE!!! but I can not begin to describe the feelings i am feeling right now when they showed up and i knew what they were gonna tell me.. I feel so bad for that other lady but so overjoyed that it wasn't for me.. i just don't know how to feel right now and could really use a few encouragements..

I can't imagine being shocked like that, how horrible. I'm so so so glad it was a mistake and that your husband is ok! Don't beat yourself up over feeling relieved, you should feel relieved! It is terrible that the other lady will have to hear that news, but you should be happy and thankful your husband is still alive and well. Report Inappropriate Comment

EVIL_CHILD 9/13/2010 5:24AM

Wow that would be such a terrible shock to the system. I've had situations like that where I have recieved bad news. It's worse when you know what to expect. I hope you never have to recieve news like that. I am glad your Jeff is safe. No one should every have to be in that situation. Of course it is not bad for you to feel relieved that there was a mistake and it wasn't Jeff. It is a natural reaction. Anyone would feel like that in your situation. Report Inappropriate Comment

JUDO23 9/12/2010 9:47PM

Having mixed emotions about this is completely natural. Of course you are relieved and happy it isn't your husband. And because you had that scare you can understand how emotionally painful it would be and you can sympathize with how the other woman must be feeling. You should feel relieved and I am relieved for you and for everyone else who loves your husband. I don't know how you military spouses do it, it must take incredible strength, but if you have that kind of strength then you can do anything. Now go pour yourself a glass of wine!

OMG I am so sorry for this scare. It must have been awful. Thank God your hubby is okay and just contine to count your blessings everyday. Report Inappropriate Comment

JENJEN0115 9/12/2010 8:07PM

Wow. My jaw fell open when I read this. That is awful! I know you must be in shock and so jittery after that. You should take a day off, curl up with some healthy snacks, and watch a happy movie to clear your head! It's so sad that someone did pass away, but you can not feel guilty for being overjoyed that it wasn't your someone. Report Inappropriate Comment

THENEWSHANNON 9/12/2010 7:27PM

Oh, lord! I can't imagine what that was like. You've ridden the emotional rollercoaster for sure. I don't think it's wrong at all to be happy that it wasn't your husband - that sounds perfectly natural, and doesn't at all mean you aren't sorry for the lady that was meant to get that news.

OMG, you must have S*** yourself when he rang your bell. I would have. So glad to hear your hubby is OK. I think you deserve a stiff drink! Report Inappropriate Comment

I dont think its wrong of you to feel happy its nothing to do with you. While of course its sad for whoever this lady is, but you dont know her, you wish her no ill and your life is your primary concern, so dont feel guilty over natually being overjoyed your husband is ok. *hugs* Report Inappropriate Comment

Reward =)

Saturday, September 11, 2010

Part 3 of our BLC challenge for the week is to pick a reward for meeting our weight loss goal

And I think its gonna be a new hair cut =) I hate my fat face so i haven't been caring how my hair looks but I've been looking and i think i've found some hair cuts i like regardless of how bad it looks on me i'm just excited to do something for me.. and maybe by then my face will be thinner so i won't think it looks that bad =)

I love getting my haircut! When your hair gets washed it's like a scalp massage and you walk out feeling like a new person. Betternexttime is right about it doing wonders for your self esteem. Plus your hair looks shiny and healthy and if nothing else it could inspire you on your journey for physical health. Report Inappropriate Comment

A hair cut's a great idea! It'll do wonders for the old self esteem. Report Inappropriate Comment

Journey Song (BLC)

Friday, September 10, 2010

Okay.. so here is my inspirational song for a few reasons.. but mainly because once its gone its gone! I'm leaving this weight behind.. and ya i'll miss parts of it but i'm leaving it too far behind me to ever come back!

The Final Countdown lyrics
Songwriters: Tempest, Joey;
We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown
The final countdown

Ohh
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all, yea
With so many light years to go and things to be found
(To be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh ho ohh

The final countdown, oh ho
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)

Ohh
It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh, it's the final countdown
Yea
