We are almost done with the first week, but weigh in was this morning and lo and behold, I am down 2lb. #266, that made me happy. I cheated on Wednesday and had ordered pepperoni rolls from Double Dave's, so and of course I didn't eat 2, I had 4. I know it sucks, but hey I decided to be brutally honest here on this blog, cause otherwise I won't get anywhere.
Later today, I will sit down and make my meal plan for the coming week, probably again with new recipes. The water drinking is doing much better, and I think my kidneys are getting slowly adjusted from being on a dry spell ( I could go almost the whole day with not drinking anything) to being flooded. lol so yes, I am running to the ladies room a lot.
What also is keeping me sane, is work. Working on creating new products for my shop SewGeekAustin, making jewelry and coming up with other new items. Necklaces will be added soon. But this work, is keeping me from brooding to much about how I was wronged and being angry. I was the one that let this happen, I am to blame no one else. So being creative, helps me a lot. And it is nice to have some change to spend on new crafty stuff. lol
Next will be adding more exercise to this program, it is so silly especially since I was a trainer once in a galaxy far far away and loved to workout, now I have a really hard time. But hey, work in progress, right?
So we will see where this next week will take us, one step at a time.

falling down and back up in the saddle
So things have been crazy and I have been stressed, we didn't have a moving date, not did we know where the kids start would start school needles to say. I am a stress eater, so that's what I did.
Then this past Saturday, I got on the scale and almost had a heart attack. 268lb. Yes you read that right. I have gained over 80lb. since December 2008. WTF? you might ask? Well there were lots of things, but the main thing was that I lost myself. I thought I was helping someone else doing good and in the mean time I totally left myself standing in the rain and I almost dragged my family with me, without an umbrella.
But after the flood comes the sun, right? So I found a beach that rescued me, and that was my sister Martina. She pulled ashore and now it's been 3 months.We are moving, Steve go a new job, that is amazing, (which he deserves), we are building a house, and finally go a moving date, I got released from therapy, I don't need meds anymore and I am now finally to the point where I am ready to take care of my temple again. My spirit is much better, so it's time to take care of the house.
I made a meal plan from all new recipes, which is a great idea, cause I love to cook and try out new recipes. So what a perfect combination. I am an avid Pinterester, so I picked all recipes that I had pinned to one of my boards. If you want to follow me, this is me. I found some really good ones.
Steve is gone for the week at the new office, so the kids and I are doing this. So far so good.
Also a big goal is, I am getting up at 6am, get Lars ready and then do some housework, take the dog for a walk and not go back to bed, like I used to. I am also going to bed no later than 10pm. (cross your fingers)
During the day I work on my etsy orders and new product. Go visit SewGeekAustin there are lots of fun and geeky things to befound.
Oh and one more thing, I think my kidneys are totally spazing out, cause I stopped drinking water during the day. Yeah I know, don't ask, it's stupid, if I got like 2 glasses that was a lot. Now I bought me one of those jugs that have 2.2 liters and put some lemon in it and I have to drink it all by the time I got to bed. No I don't jug if I didn't get there, I just feel like an epic fail. NOT. It's a goal.
So there, the next weigh in, will be on Friday, so I hope I will have good news by then.
