I Made a "U" Turn...



After last week, I think this is going to have to be my new personal slogan!

My journey took a turn for the worst and I did EVERYTHING wrong...

regular soda

chex Muddie Buddies

bread

sugary cereal

AMP energy (grape)

ice cream with chocolate sauce

etc, etc...

I need a serious recharge!

Today I was supposed to restart the whole low carb thing, but I couldn't resist the Muddie Buddies!

I did get a diet soda though.

It is really tough to find things to make when your fridge is nearly empty and the freezer is stocked with wild game meat instead of easy stuff like chicken breast and ground beef.

I ate the last of the eggs this morning for breakfast too.

Thank heaven my kids enjoy eating mac 'n cheese!

Guess I am going to have to buck up and go to the grocery store!

At least when I do shopping for myself, it doesn't get to be too expensive.

However, since we are nearly devoid of food in our house, I guess the grocery shopping will need to be done for all of us later this week (we still have enough to get a couple more lunch and dinners).

Shopping for me is simple...

eggs (lots and lots)

chicken

low fat string cheese

tuna

celery

apples

See, not much I need to stock up on!

I tried on my bathing suit and was completely mortified when I looked in the mirror.

I was so mortified, that I thought about cutting the thing to shreds!

However, I have changed my mind slightly on that. Instead, I am going to take a picture of myself in it and have two of them printed. Then I will take one of them and with a black permanent marker, I will "design" how I want to whittle my body. Hopefully in doing that and taping the picture to my mirror, I will be reminded of what I am working to acheive on a daily basis.

I seriously HATE this uphill battle!

BUT,

I need to

EARN THE DOWNHILL!

Down and Out

I am so disappointed. I was looking forward to do a lot of sewing to make Christmas gifts this year. Unfortunately, I had a silly accident on Thanksgiving that will keep me away from my sewing machine for at least 4 weeks. I was walking down the stairs at home and missed the bottom step. I landed on the main floor and heard and felt a "pop" in my foot. For about 2 hours, I sat with my foot elevated and put ice on it, but I absolutely could not put any weight on it. Finally, I decided it was time to go get it checked out. What better time to do than when we had people over that could stay with our kids while we went to the emergency room. Long story short... They took 3 X-rays and came back and said I had broken a bone in my foot. It was a complete break. Unfortunately, it is my right foot, so sewing is pretty much out for me, as is driving and working. U til I see the orthopedic doctor I have been on crutches and non-weight bearing for my right foot. It will be in the splint from the ER u til I can get in to see the orthopedic doctor (hopefully on Monday or Tuesday). I am rather bummed about the whole situation because I really don't like being helpless. Just taking a shower is a huge ordeal. Don't even get me started on doing my laundry. It took me 10 minutes to get my laundry basket to the washer and put the clothes in the machine. It is going to take some getting used to, but I don't have a choice and neither does my family. I really hate that I have to miss work! That part really stinks!

Stupid Hair!

I am seriously about ready to take a scissors to my own hair!

Do you ever have those days when you are doing your hair and nothing goes right?

That is what happened to me today!

I have styled my hair like this before, but today it took me over an hour - a freaking hour!

It looks like crap, but I don't care, I put a flower in it to cover up the really bad spots and came to work anyway. I was so frustrated!

Just look at that mess!

Ugh...

    

YES, I am almost 33 and have gray hair! A LOT of it!

Thank goodness I have an appointment with my stylist next week.

He is absolutely magical!!!  ;-)

I liked having my short hair, I never had issues like this! With short hair, the style was meant to be messy and so I didn't care. On me, longer hair cannot be messy looking, otherwise it makes it look like I got out of bed and didn't bother combing my hair.

I love French braids though, but you can't French braid short hair.

I love pony tails too, but you can't pull short hair back into a pony tail!

Messy buns! Oh my goodness, I miss being able to pull my hair up into a messy bun.

Absolutely frustrated!

grrrrrr.....

p.s. yes the photos suck! i took them with my BlackBerry.
