MY EVER LASTING GOBSTOPPER ( FOR YOU MOVIE BUFFS) MONDAY FINALLY ENDED!!!

YAY!!! things finally calmed down a hair.. our internet seems to be working well..  the tv situation is still strange the remotes only work if the ceiling light is on... lol... that's  bizzare..   Got all my business done for the week.. Got my accountant lined up to help fix what I thought I fixed but apparently unfixed .. so that makes me feel better...  and I got on the scale today for some reason.. I of course expected the worse and it winked at me a 2+ lb.  loss.. now my official weigh in is Monday so I won't be all official about it tell them.. but that does give the motivational fires a extra stoke....
So  I am hoping for a peaceful weekend... and something fun to do.. As usual my husband is a wonderful support .. last night .. ( this will sound so silly but walking is walking) we went to the better walmart ( our walmart is scary)   and walked around the store.. its huge.. so I am thinking walking around there counts and I can walk there.. its flat and does not stress my ankle... Walking is walking no matter where you do it... Our walmart is just a weird  place..  brings out the stranger folks.. we have a guy that looks like Elvis that is always there...  a Dolly Parton look alike and a Liberace look alike.... plus a lot.. and I mean a lot of folks that look like Zombies...  they come in wearing Pajama bottoms.. and their hair is usually dyed really black gothy looking...  and you see a lot of ... piercings too  
Anyways... off to see what the weekend has planned...

EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE MONDAYS THAT JUST DOES NOT QUIT???

WELLLLL..  IT is just one of those weeks... if it can go wrong it has gone wrong... ... My week started off crappy and it gone from crappy to why did I bother getting out of bed... its not major stuff its stupid stuff.. Our internet connection.. ( hence why I was not here last night) then the remotes to our directv decide to only work when the lights are one..  our tech who has been working on things for us... lost his neice today so he is out of town until Monday.. so but he texted me what to do in the mean while... Our phone company is trying hard to fix our speed on our DSL.. a new tech came today and reset set everything and gave me his cell number plus his supervisors number so I do not have to call the help deskwhich  can be as far away as California ... or where ever... this way these folks are local... and are aware of all our issues.. like I said crazy  stupid annoying stuff... 

My eating has been OP .. and this morning after being so annoyed I was just daring the scale to annoy me more...  sure enough it did not let me down .. I am up the 1/4th a pound I lost... granted I weighed Monday too.. So I vowed not to get on the scale until Monday and maybe I will see some kind of action.. something good I hope... So I have proved to myself that even  with all the annoying  things of life I can hold on and do the right thing... as far as eating goes so that is a plus.... Hoping for a better week.. but am sure more insanity is  headed my way.... 

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE

   A SONG FOR THE DAY:

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE 

Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'
Feel a sermon comin' on me
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm ag'in'
If you wanna hear my story
Then settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right



You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

(Man, they said "We'd better accentuate the positive")
("Eliminate the negative")
("And latch on to the affirmative")
Don't mess with Mister In-Between (No!)
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

(Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum) 
(Bring gloom down to the minimum) 
(Have faith or pandemonium's)
(Liable to walk upon the scene)

You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative
And latch (yes, yes) on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, don't mess with Mister In-Between

PATIENCE NOT A VIRTUE OF MINE

PATIENCE IS NOT A VIRTUE OF MINE

I wish I could say it was but it is not....  Patience and I .. do not see eye to eye often..

Hence my less than thrilled reaction when I stepped on the scale  (twice)  only to see a 3/4th of a pound drop... 

Then I started thinking... On June 8th I weighed in at 205.8     On July 8th  ( when I started TSFL)  I weighed in at 200.8     On July 29th I weighed in at  192.4  = 13.4 pounds .. gone off my body..

As I said I started TSFL  on July 8th.. August 8th will be one Month... maybe another pound or so before then... and for two months... that's really not too shabby... I should be proud.. the numbers add up.. 

SO NOTE TO SELF>>>>  THE NUMBERS ADD UP...  small steps  = BIG STEPS...

SO today I swam for 25 minutes.. water jogged  then got in the hot tub for 5 minutes.. and cleaned up and started my work day...  going to try and get in the pool 3 days a weeks  and do Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds at home ( 1 mile walk)  or ride the recumbent bike at the gym for 20 minutes.. the days I do not swim.. just to start moving this body of mine.. My coach said watch my exercise and not over do it.. so that's my plan..

Quiche for one

Made in a 7 ounce Pyrex dish ...Yep it's huge and massively filling...

KISMET

Things happen sometimes...that are just suppose to fall in a certain way...you get to meet people that are sent to you.. Yesterday was one of those days for me... 

Are tv receiver had been acting up for a year.. Last week it was storming..and every lightning strike the screen would tin off but th sound would work... I finally called the home theatre guy and he came yesterday with a new receiver and rebuilt our whole system ...the guy who was suppose to come not so the owner of the company came....as the day wore on we were chatting...and the conversation turned to consignment shops ...and then he started saying how he just lost 85 pounds.. And is on Medifast. His wife is too...they go to the clinic instead of doing tsfl... He also explained how much more expensive the clinic is too... It was so cool to talk to him .. He has a little bit more he wants to lose so he is still on his journey and like all of us still on the 5 & 1 he is concerned about transition and maintenance .....

That was a ment to be moment in my life .. It made me feel so fired up .. And good ..sure I am climbing the hill now ..and that's okay.. There will be peaks and valleys and I will survive it all!! And in the end be a Stronger..Better me..
