I just need to get this off my chest, otherwise it will keep eating at me.
So in the 4 years Beth and I had been friends, she never ever mentioned to be a Supernatural Fan. She said she's watched it but never called herself a Fan. Then when I started watching it, she claimed that she stopped watching at Season 6 cause it had gotten so bad. She also gloated, as always that Jared came to the Qmx Booth at SDCC.
But anyways I digress... when I ended this very TOXIC and unhealthy relationship, I left everything behind. So I had to start new and I found wonderful friends in the Supernatural Fandom. Since I am a fan, I started to make items for the fans of the show on etsy, since there is not a lot of Supernatural merchandise out there.
A couple of months in Beth started to make Converse, which she stole the idea from someone on etsy like everything else she does. She made a Winchester shoe and told Support Supernatural that the proceeds would go to them. AFTER I had been working with them for a while.
Fast forward to NOW... last week Geekabye baby announced that they are teaming up with Winchester Brothers for a give away. Now she is posting pictures of Thomas from a year ago still claiming what a huge fan she is. I really don't want her in the fandom. I worked so hard to make a name for myself. I hope she gets what she deseves and more. Cause FUCK YOU always trying to take shit from people and invade their space if they are successful.
Vent over...

Meal plan and getting a grip...
Allright...
Things are getting frustrating... I really like the fitbit, but I have not seen any positive results this week. I've gained 2lb. and I am not happy with that. I am pretty sure it's due that time of the month. So I am just trying not to beat myself up about it. This is a new week and a new start.
This weeks Menu, remember also I am cooking for a family of 4 and try to cook things that don't take 3 hrs to cook. :D
For breakfast I usually have Oatmeal, or eggs and veggies... Lunch is a Salad most days.
So here are our Dinners:
Friday: Sloppy Joe's (I get low carb buns for myself and use lean natural Beef)
Saturday: Fried Rice (brown rice) with Shrimp
Sunday: Shepherds Pie (again lean meat)
Monday: Steak, Salad and Sweet Potato Fries
Tuesday: Salsa Chicken with brown rice
Wednesday: Spaghetti
Thursday: We are having BBQ at Anika's School for the Prep Rally.

Summer is over let's get in shape....
Well summer was a disaster on the weight loss front, I gained the weight I had lost back. Some of it is my nephews visit, cause of course he wanted to try all the "American" Food. And it was also partially due to wearing a boot (or supposed to) for 3 weeks.
But now school started back up, the kids are not home and I can get to the gym in the morning. I made a meal plan and we are sticking to it. There was a small change on Saturday but that was it.
I also got a fitbit, and I am loving it. It tracks how many steps I take, when I am very active, and I can add my gym stuff, it shows how many calories I burned.
Then you can go online and you can enter you food, which I dig, that was the thing that made me successful last time. Counting calories and working out 5x week. The plan at the moment is swimming 3x and Cardio with Steve 2x week. I also have 2 more conventions this month I am going to and I know I have to be good. :D
So that's an update for now, we'll see how this goes, but I am at a happy place in my life where i finally can start to take care of myself again.
:D

It's been a while...
Where did summer go?
And how come I failed so miserably? Well I know why, cause I didn't really try. I did really well until about 1.5months ago. Then my nephew and his friend came to visit. So we did lots of fun things this summer, but eating out quiet a bit and just not working out.
Then this past week I participated in the most insane online scavenger hunt ever, it's called GISHWHES and it's just insane. So that took up a lot of time. Oh and I forgot my foot was supposed to be in a boot for 3 weeks, but that didn't help at all, and I still have pain. I also noticed when rain is coming our way I am hurting, much more than Austin, but it sucked.
So today I got up and I weighed for the first time in a long time. 268lb. It's ok, I gained 5lb. back, not to bad, so I made myself a healthy breakfast, with eggs, spinach and mushrooms. I also already have a waterbottle filled waiting for me to be devoured. I am also going to the gym tonight with my hubby to do Cardio.
On another note, I am also in the process of moving my online shop again and work on new product. This has been such a blessing as well.
And now the most amazing news... My husband has agreed that it is time to buy an 67 Impala and restore it to full Supernatural Glory. This has been taxing as well. I had 2 already slip thru my hands I hope that soon we'll get the right one.
Now keep going on your regular schedules.
Happy Monday

Frustration
So I haven't been able to workout for almost 2 weeks, I hit a depression and it is getting frustrating. I thought i've been doing good but hell no, I've gained 4lb. I am so tired and pissed off at myself. And then this am I wake up and my left foot where i had the fracture last year is just throbbing. The same spot.
I am calling my doctor today and hope that this can be taken care of. That is the foot that also swells up at random in the evenings.
I have no idea what is going on, so I better get to a Doctor.
I also decided I can still swim. So that is what I will be doing today. I am taking the kids to the pool and while they splash I can do my swim. I can't give up now and I am also tracking my food intake again. I havent logged into lose it in almost 3 weeks and that is not good.
To be successfull I have to track my food intake. So that's what I will be doing.

Thinking rant, nothing to do with workouts... well sort of...
Yeah I have not been in the gym for a week. After Anime Overload I got home with something nasty and then this week I had stress headaches and then my feet keep swelling I don't know why, but they are. It seems water, so I am taking water pills like my Doctor told me to and we'll see in a couple of days. Blood pressure is fantastic, but I do need to drink more water.
But now to my rant and thoughts...
So this toxic relationship that I had ended over a year ago. But I still am harboring nasty feelings about it. Most of all I am beating myfself up to have let it go out of hand like it did. I've done some crazy things during that time and jeopardized my marriage and my family for this one person. And I am still apologizing to my husband even thou he forgave me and blames the other person just as much for being so manipulative. But it still lingers.
What pisses me off the most is that in hindsight I realize how bad it was, how many times I put the "friendship" in front of everything else, and it is sad, cause I didn't get much in return. I am just amazed and what I put up with, accusations and crap that nobody should have. So I am not sure where to go from here, everybody tells me to let go, but it is hard. And I know Karma is a bitch and it will bite eventually.
But then here I am so blessed, with a wonderful husband ( I think he is the best in the world, but I might be biased) two beatiful kids. We have a brand new house, I made new friends which I now know are better friends already then the other person ever was. I found my creativity again and a outlet for it in my shop.
So why am I still mad??? I don't know, but I hope eventually I can let it all go.
Thanks for reading.

chop shallot and mushrooms into tiny pieces sautee with baby spinach. Combine with beef and 3/4 cup of cheese in a bowl. Season to taste, I used basil, no salt.
Fill the peppers to the top and then spinkle with the remaining Cheese. Put in the oven and bake for 40mins.
