200+ (Week 36) Sizzlin' Through Summer

Kristina- The reason I have to sell the house is because its currently in mine AND JOEY'S names. The loan is both of ours. He's paying half the mortgage. Joey said he would sign the house over to me, but his name is still on the loan and I can't afford it on my own. I realized that I don't want to move, so I need to quit stressing that it hasn't sold yet. I need to focus on getting a second job and somehow reorganizing my debt.


I went to zumba tonight. She was kicking our butts for some reason....one up tempo song after another. Burned 880 cals. Then they were starting a belly dancing class. Its supposed to cost $50 for members to join this class but since it was the first one, they offered to let people in the zumba class stay for free. OMG. Burned another 736 cals. Thats right! 1616 cals burned today. Thats more than I EAT in a day. Whats funny is there were about 6-7 of us who stayed from zumba....by the end of the belly dancing class, it was me and one other lady.

Class ended around 8:40, got home right before 9. Sat on the phone talking to Taylor for a few minutes while getting some strength to use my brain and figure out what to eat. Figured since I had so many extra cals I could "treat" myself to mac and cheese (put peas and carrots in it to have at least a LITTLE nutritional value lol). While I was waiting for the water to boil I came to the computer to start logging my info and noticed a new bump on Lexi's neck. It was a tick. GREAT. I spent about 30-40 minutes laying on the kitchen floor trying to get this tick off her. Called my dad, then mom called me, then I called the vet. The vet told me it is ok to use tweezers and pull it out. (I think with all the soap, nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol I killed it but the head was still in.) So yeah....its now 10pm and I just finished my supper. I had to turn the stove off while I was dealing with Lexi cause it was going to burn.


Deadliest Catch didn't record for some stupid stupid reason tonight! It supposed to re-air at midnight and its set to record. This is the episode where Phil goes to the hospital (its the stroke that eventually killed him).


and ps....can someone remind me to wash my clothes on Monday nights from now on?? I had to re-wear my bras and tops tonight. :ohwell: :blushing: I choose the one the smelled the least and I lightly sprayed myself with body spray before I left (on top of the obligatory fresh deodorant). I don't think I was funky.


I randomly took a half day off work tomorrow. I will have the morning off cause I have training all tomorrow afternoon. It'll be good so I can check on Lexi's neck (it was the underside of her chin) and I also need to get my car inspected and go pay for my registration and stuff.

So I was thinking...I had a vague goal in the back of my head to lose 50 pounds in a year. That means I have until Oct 1st to lose another 15 pounds. That is totally attainable. I don't want to jinx my weigh in this week, but I'm already down 2.4 from last week! Hopefully that'll stick around. I was debating whether I should work out tonight but I think I will. The weather finally cooled down today and I went to the store this morning so I have no reason not to.

Besides, if every day was like yeterday, I'd weigh 205.9 in 5 weeks :laugh:

Welcome lprewett86, :flowerforyou: just committ to something everyday, do something for yourself...baby steps and you'll see your goals happen before you know it! Posts your concerns here, come for motivation and support...you'll find plenty of it here, everyone is great! Logging foods really help me stay accountable, that and getting the exercise in early so I can't put it off!

Good Luck, I look foward to getting to know you!

hi ladies! i'm sorry i'm never on, my weight is 193.6 now.. How is everyone? mssg would be better cause I do wanrt to catch up w/ u all!!

Since I only worked a half day yesterday, I didn't drink as much water as usual. Plus, I'm starting to get the pre-tom issues so I'm up a pound from yesterday (even though I was totally within my cals and sodium). :ohwell:


As long as I log my food/exercise today and tomorrow, I will complete my mini goal of logging for 4 weeks and I will get a pedicure. :ohwell: My problem now is convincing myself to spend the money. Maybe I will settle for my first mani instead (since I actually have nails right now). Those are cheaper, right? I mean, I COULD give myself a pedi, but I do that pretty often anyways cause my feet need it....its more about getting pampered a little, having someone else do it.

If I get down to 220, I will take a day of PTO for no reason (although that might have to change due to training and stuff- they might not let me take a day). Plus, my bff is working through at least next Friday so I might want to change that reward to another goal so when I do take the day off, I can spend it with her.

My team was on a training call with a person from the new team we will be moving to and we got slightly distracted at one point and started asking her questions. They are currently on 10 hours of mandatory overtime, which would seriously HELP my money problem. Although I should probably actually do the math first. I don't see how making time and a half for 10 hours would be less than making close to minimum wage for 20-25 hours a week. Actually, I just did the math and 10 hours of overtime would be a lot better than even 25 hours a week making $7.25/hr. Plus the fact it is less time away from home, I won't have to buy new clothes/shoes for work, I won't have to spend the gas to drive somewhere for my weekend shifts.... I think I should still apply for the Halloween seasonal job at Party City in case the OT here doesn't start for a few months cause honestly, the OT probably won't start before we are fully trained.


God is definitely teaching me patience these days.
