So, the four day marathon headache is gone. I went to the doctor yesterday as well as the chiropractor, and this morning I woke up better. This wasn't my normal migraine (yeah, normal). I had taken my migraine meds twice, and nothing.
So, I w'd/in this morning at 170.8. So, that's good. Down 1.4 since Monday. Now that I am feeling up to it....I will get on the treadmill this morning after I get Justin on the bus. I haven't been down there for a while now. I will probably start out at maybe 20 minutes and see how I feel, maybe more.
I have been bad about posting what I eat (okay, not posting at all---but now that the headache is gone, I will do my best to get that in. Today, I start my work week. A little modified (possibly) b/c on Saturday I have to get online and check to see if I need to appear for Jury duty (yuck!!!!)
I've had to do this only once before, and it sucked! So, if my number is listed online Saturday, I will have to go down to the courthouse on Monday morning. I usually have Monday's off, so work graciously gave me Sunday off, in exchange they put me as an admin. day on Monday to cover for jury duty (if I have to serve). If I don't (keeping fingers crossed), I will go back to my schedule as if it never changed and work Sunday morning.
Here's to hoping NO JURY DUTY AND NO THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT (for work that is, it makes my job that much harder!)
Gonna go poke around at everyone's blogs..................

So the W/IN
172.2....which I am up .2 from the last time I w'd/in 3 weeks ago. So, considering 4th of July and the Birthday party, not good, but not tooo bad. I plan to post what I eat today later in an update. Still deciding whether to go to the meeting tomorrow morning---I still have 3 passes to use, so I would only have to pay for registration (yet again---they have gotten so much money from me on going back time and time again---this is my hesitation on going.)

Finally time to post.....thanks for asking guys!!!
That's is --- inquiring minds want to know...MissJuly and Tallmama (thanks for getting me back accountable)
So, camping in Aspen was great. We did some slow (b/c Mom came with us) hiking. Tent camped and had dinner and S'mores by campfire. YUM. I came back not gaining (or losing?) a thing, so that was good.
The last week or so haven't been great --- kinda up and down the same 2 pounds. I have made it thru the big BLOCK party for the 4th and my 8 year old's BIRTHDAY party (yesterday) and am now in the mindset to BUCKLE DOWN get this thing done! I have even given some thought to going back and joining WW and be accountable to someone. For the next 2-3 months, NO big major events----no b/d parties, no anniversaries and no significant holidays to worry thru!
So, the hubby and I have agreed to cease eating out for a month, since this seems to cause me (and him) to throw away any sense of eating good while we are out. We have also agreed to do "the not eating after dinner thing too". This has always been hard for me, b/c for some reason, I feel the need to do mindless snacking before going to bed.
I am planning on posting, daily, my food journal to keep me accountable and will make the decision on whether I will join WW by tommorrow evening. W/I would be Tuesday mornings. I dug up my old membership book and it was about a year ago when I went to a WW meeting. Suprisingly enough, my last OFFICIAL W/IN wasn't far off from what I weigh now. I don't know if that's good or bad. Thinking negatively--in a year I haven't budged the scale, thinking positively----I haven't gained anything in a year!!!
As, I am finishing this post up, it is 1am on "monday" and I am now feeling better from a horrendous headache---the kind that after taking my migraine meds (it took a while this time for the meds to kick in for some reason) finally went away. The dog just woke me up (after taking a nap after I got home from work, and going to bed around 7pm). He needed to "go". So, now I am wide awake, and it's 1:15am-------YIKES!!
My oldest tracks back on to school later today (monday) which is okay with me....he seems to be needing to get back to school with friends. I now have a second grader.
All I know for now, and I will try to post daily (at least what I am putting in my PIE HOLE)!

Fessin' up...
So I got on the dreaded scale today, and it wasn't pretty. I am back up in the 170's --172.0 that is. So I gained quite a bit in my quest for sweets. I am rather bummed, discouraged, you name it. I am back to my work-week and trust me, I don't wanna go.
We (me, hubby, 2 boys and my mom) are headed to Aspen on Sunday to do some "car" camping--drive up to campsite and pitch tent). We are going to do some hiking while we are there--bonus activity points. I just hope it's not that hot in the mountains. It is supposed to be near 90 in Denver over the weekend---it's now time to turn on the air-conditioner.
So, now the countdown starts again---I wasn't going to tell anyone at home when Mom's newest court date was set for, but I can't keep this to myself. It's August 4th, which means my new and improved mini goal of getting back down to 165.0 is only 44 days from now--to lose 7 pounds in a little over 6 weeks.
I am going to buckle down and at least get there. I've just got to realize that life happens (camping, oldest son turns 8 --two birthday parties--, Saturday night out with the girls--dinner and a movie, Fourth of July block party, and so on). Hopefully I actually learn not to turn a one incident (big big ice cream cone) into a 2 week eating spree.

A quickie.....
I need a kick in the pants....I have been stress eating for days now and am feeling the effects of it. Clothes are definitely getting tighter. Ice cream has become my friend the last few days. On Sunday, one of my co-workers brought up to me in the tower---a huge mint choc. chip waffle cone. Let me tell you, this cone was filled to the brim with ice cream. I am guessing I ate at least 5 scoops and the cone---the real stuff too, not light/low-fat. It was handed to me and I ate the entire thing. Not really thinking about what I was doing. And of course, afterwards, reality set in and I realized "I ATE THE WHOLE THING" *&(^^$%$!!!!!!
Anyway, I have not w'd/in....TOO SCARED OF WHAT "HE" WILL TELL ME. I know I am up.
I need a kick in the pants, girls.....I'm waiting!!!!!

A NO GO!
So, court's a no-go.....I am sooo disappointed. I had made several plans with family and friends when we flew home for Mom's court date and now I can kiss those good-bye. Amanda and I were supposed to see SEX IN THE CITY and I am bummed that I won't be going home.
This is so frustrating. I can't imagine what this feels like to my mom (well, in fact I kinda do....she called me angry, then sad---she was crying b/c she just wants this divorce to go thru and be done with it). Anyway, she got it off her chest and is in a better frame of mind.
All I know for now---other than I have been stress eating the last two days----which is NOT good!

W/I results....
So, I am down a bit 168.8......which was only .6. But I guess I will take a little loss rather than a gain. I was soooo hoping for a bigger number. But, such is life.....
This morning my mom and I will be "taking a meeting" by phone with her lawyer. She is supposed to go to court next Wednesday and we don't know if the date is still good. I am hoping that we finally get this thing done and over with. We are on our 4th continuance since January. I am not keeping much hope that this thing will take place.
If it does, I finally get to see my BFF and her new baby----http://strawgirl--mylifeinablog.blogspot.com/. I am trying not to get too excited just in case the date falls thru. The only problem is when we get together, I do bad eating-wise. You know all the eating out and such.
So, I don't have a expectations now that I am going to lose 3.8 more pounds before Sunday (which I wanted before I left for INDY)--- it would be a miracle if that happened. BTW, I did get up and got on the treadmill this morning....32:30 min/350 cal burn. And I plan to visit the airport gym today (this evening) to do my weight lifting circuit!
Catch ya later
