Come May, What?

I've done the rollercoaster of weight loss, I lose it, I gain it, I misplace it, I find it again, it's not my idea of a good time.

Anyway, I've been what I would say is fairly okay for the last year, 2010 was pretty decent in the weight arena, but then...I got stressed and I got lazy and I didn't think about the crap (yes, crap) that I was eating.

So...starting in May, I have decided to change a few things, and I feel like if I put it out there in the Universe, and not just in my noggin, I may actually stick to it a bit better.

I will plan out and make my meals--probably not ALL of them for everyday, but more than just grabbing the first thing I see.

I will not eat after 8:00pm unless I haven't had an actual meal since lunchtime.

I will reduce eating out to twice a month

I will only have sugar on special occasions--like birthdays, holidays and Wednesdays (just kidding!)

I will drink more water

I will walk to work--weather permitting

I will actually utilize the gym at work again

And most importantly, I will not compare myself to other people, and not beat myself up if I slip up on any one of these items...I think this one may be the hardest one.

Oh, Lisa...you use too many ellipses...

While everything may not be "coming up roses", things are looking a bit better...or maybe I'm just having an attitude adjustment...you be the judge, and then keep your opinion to yourself...

I will soon have a new job title, and a raise!  Woohoo!  This is one thing that has seriously been stressing me out for the past...oh...8 months or so.  So yay!

I was finally able to get my car licensed and registered, and I even stuck the Utah plates on...and I may have removed the BYU vanity plate from the rear end...nothing personal Jen!

I bought new bedding that has been deemed "Very you" (And when I say "You", I really mean "Me"...just in case you were confused).

I finally broke down the boxes that have been sitting on top of the couch...they are now residing...under..the..couch...BUT they're not ON the couch! I still get a point for each box.

I went to the Temple today

I only have to work 2 hours and change tomorrow thanks to the almost 15 hours I put in on Monday.

Because I only have to work 2 hours and change tomorrow, I have decided to pop on up to Logan to see my familia and surprise my mumsie who returns from California tomorrow...hopefully she doesn't read this before I get there.  I may or may not be counting this as Mother's day because I can't come up on Mother's day...oh! and Easter!  Can I still have it count as Easter too?  I'm going to see how many things I can get this trip to cover....

Anyway, this is my way of saying "I don't really need that hole anymore"...not that things have drastically improved, but I'm trying not to wallow in self-loathing and pity.  I think that's a pretty good idea, personally.  But that's just me.

Find me a Hole

I'm done.  I am at capacity.  I can do no more.

The only problem is..I can't put anything else on hold.

I have an apartment that still looks like a war-zone, but I have very little desire to do anything about it.
I have school work that I am supposed to get done, but I have very little desire to do anything about it.
I was supposed to have a change occur at work, but they have very little desire to do anything about it.
I have a car I need to get licensed, but the DMV isn't open on the weekend, so I actually can't do anything about it.
I have encountered a company that is entirely unhelpful via phone or internet, so I cannot do anything about the issue I need to clear up with them either.
I have a bank account which constantly mocks me, and I want to throttle it, but can't find enough of anything to wrap my hands around to give it a proper thrashing.

The life of a hermit looks more and more appealing with each passing day.

At the end of my proverbial rope

Today was one of those days

Tomorrow might be too

Guess we'll see

Sometimes I can't think of a title...

I move into my new apartment on Saturday!  Yay!

I'm not sure I've mentioned this yet or not, but it is not this apartment.  That's right folks, it's another apartment...one whose address does not involve the name "Taylorsville"...we're actually just a few blocks from work, we'll see if that turns out to be a good thing.  I for one am excited to be able to walk to work.

Anyway, with moving in the near future (and actually having already moved a number of things over), things have been a little topsy-turvy in my life.  Much of what I own is in boxes, or will be within the next 24 hours.  We also have a lovely DI pile going, so if you want to come take a gander at it and cart anything away, please, feel free.

The big move of furniture is taking place on Saturday, like I said earlier...I apparently felt the need to reiterate...the weather has been less than cooperative as we've moved over smaller items, so I hope things clear up a bit in the next little while.

I have also gotten sick.  And I mean SICK.  It's actually pretty gross.

So since I have been ill, I took work off on Monday, but having previously used all of my Sick Time, I have to make up my hours this week (in all my spare time, that is), so I did the bulk of it yesterday, logging almost 16 hours, and then a bit more today.  Did I mention I've been training people both of these days?  I don't think I did.  Have I mentioned that I really, really, really don't like training people?  Well, it's true.  I don't, so basically I am in love with this week so far.

Ha ha!  And I have to go to a Mary Kay thing-a-ma-who-zit tomorrow....try not to be too jealous, it's not good for your complexion.





If this post sounds whiny....I blame the medicine, and you should too...

Thank Heavens

So do we remember this post?

Well, you can go ahead and add The Iron Giant to it.

Yeah...that's right.

This has the potential to get embarrassing...if I watched movies with other people that is...luckily, I don't.

You're crazy...

I've heard a few people remark on the fact that I blogged more when I was out of the country, than I do when I'm stateside....

Of COURSE I blogged more!  I was on vacation!  I had nothing to do, no responsibilities, and I was sightseeing!  When I have things like castles and foreign countries to write about, why wouldn't I?  Stateside, all I can write about is work, school or moving...all of which stress me out and none of which I really want to write a post about (especially since much of this blog seems to have been dedicated to that).

So, being the Classy Broad that I am, I thought I would spare you the boring details of my jet lag, packing, going back to work, and all those other tedious things.

So, it's because I love you that I haven't been blogging!  I'm so generous sometimes...
