Ugh! Tuesday
There was so much about today that was just crap.
1. I thought my gym changed their hours to only Noon but instead I just read it wrong and they are open until midnight. Which to me is weird…but whatever. It still left me angry until I rechecked the sign as I was leaving-making me angry during the whole dumb workout.2. I decided to go early-MISTAKE. All 5 of my machines were being used. I like ONLY those machines because they allow me to go fast and burn the most calories in an hour. The owner told me so-and sure enough-I love them. Not to mention I’m used to them now after a year. Well-I had to use something similar-but awful-that goes slow and hurts. HURTS SO MUCH that I pulled a muscle in my right leg making it hard to even walk. UGH! I was mad. 20 minutes into my workout I noticed 2 people getting off the machines so I stopped but by the time I gathered my things in under 30 seconds-two more people moved in and so I was stuck finishing the rest of my hour on that dumb machine. I only was able to burn 400 calories and barely went any distance at only 3.5 miles. UGH! It set off my eating issues and I started to worry about what to have for lunch and dinner and wondered how I was going to be able to stick to my plan…
3. Went to see my British friend for coffee in a few towns over. It was lovely but I stayed later than I thought…Not terrible but I was worried about trying to finish some planting (Didn’t get done). I needed to get some Bean-o so in trying to stay up-beat I decided to go to Walmart, buy 2 new white plates, 2 bowls, and a large bowl for salad mixing. Along with 2 new knives and a little cutting board. I thought that by having designated things to use to eat healthier and to work in the kitchen it would help motivate me. Especially the plates. Seriously it makes a difference. I can see my food on a white plate. And it is heat safe and affordable. So I go to check out-no big thing-but the girl who was flirting with the guy behind me seems to have forgotten to put the 2 knives and the bean-o in a bag. I got all the way home and they weren’t there. NOW I have to go 30 minutes there and 30 back to just get these three thing? UGH! I have 48hrs to do this they told me.
4. I decided to call the rescue lady about the kitten today after not hearing from her since Friday. Seems she had caught the Momma cat-had her fixed-he test results were negative and from that part of the conversation I thought things were going to be positive-but she said the two kittens were not thriving. They were too small and she worried they might not make it? (I got the feeling that maybe she just didn’t want to give them up or maybe had promised them to someone else even? But she made it clear that I was not going home with one…) I gotta say I am a wee bit crushed. I connected with that kitten and had hoped to have given it a good home with my others. I guess not. It wasn’t that I even wanted another-it was just something about this one. So much so that the husband (against his wishes I am sure) said okay. I mean we do have 4 cats so one more is kinda a big deal. He says with all of his guns-that I do not like in the house-he can’t say no to me having another kitten. We both pick our battles carefully.
Needless to say I was sad. And more so-worried about the fate of those two little ones.5. In-between all of this there was a bunch of other little things that just added up-bad drivers, being cut off, just being in public, picking the wrong lines to be in, leg hurting, frustration about not getting things done today, and finally logging on to the internet and face*book and getting annoyed with people. That doesn’t help one bit.
So I am going to just call today DUMB and hope tomorrow is better.
Today:
Coffee with almond milk
Iced coffee with skim
A handful of these puffed corn things from Trader Joe’s while sitting in the car at 2pm
1 brand muffin from Trader Joe’s at 110 caloriesI have not had anything else today.
I need to go make something or at least eat the rest of that Pho from yesterday.
I think I may have not even eating 400 calories today which means am at a negative.
Hard to believe that a CRAP-TASTIC day can promote weight loss. I should write a book.BTW: I better start thinking where to put this blog-as it seems XANGA is being to shut down. No service available to upload. *Sigh*
