Random Update
I have FINALLY fallen below the 130 mark. WOO HOO! Weighed in at 129.5 this morning. Although my jeans aren't any looser, which is highly annoying. Don't quite know where the weight has fallen from. If I still have a muffin top, then what difference does it make? I know I'll always be an apple, but it's annoying. Oh well, I started this journey in January at 136, and have been yo-yo'ing the entire time, so I won't hold my breath. But I'm slowly working my way into running, so that'll help. At present, I can only do 2 miles of 2 mins walking/2 mins running. I could probably go longer, but I have to baby my knees for a while, or they'll make me pay as they did when I first got the treadmill and was doing 3 miles at inclines. Learned my lesson.
And I had soup for lunch all week, which I know made the big difference since it's the going out that does me in. But when people invite me out to lunch, I can't say no! It's too much fun to go out! Ah well.
So Erik was joking with me this morning that I was in such great shape, I'd have to go buy a bikini. I told him that if he took me on a vacation, I'd buy a bikini. (Didn't say I'd actually wear it in public, but he wouldn't care about that. No one over the age of 30 should wear one, I don't care how fit you are. They look ridiculous.) But he suddenly said, "Really??" Ah-HA! I will find a way to get a vacation in this year, and if I have to bribe with ridiculous swimwear, so be it.
The sun is finally out today, and I'm in complete shock! The weather has been CRAP, and will continue so. Even with the sun, it's only supposed to be 50 today. Then back to 40's and rain. I hate this soooooooooooo much. Every year in March/April, it's warmer everywhere else, and all my stupid magazines rave about the return of warm weather. Bite me!
Have to run to Trader Joe's and pick up something small for dessert at Gramma's tonight. Am making baked rigatoni, so don't want anything heavy. But it's a birthday dinner for her and Erik, so I have to have some sort of dessert.
Watched Happy Go Lucky yesterday. Uh, I don't get the Oscar nod on this. I finally turned it off because it was really annoying. I didn't find her charming at all. She was an annoying airhead. All the giggling and muttering finally did me in. There were a few cute moments, but not enough to offset her insipid yammering or the misanthrope driving instructor. SHADDUP already!
Let's see, what else.... Hmmm. Work is CRAZY, and I don't like yammering about that anyway since it reminds me of how crazy it is. Top Foods finally had my edamame salad back to its original excellent condition! I buy it from the deli every week, and it's supposed to be edamame, grape tomatoes, yellow pepper, and a tiny bit of feta with a vinaigrette. Last week it had water chesnuts that were drenched in soy sauce. BLECH! I hate water chestnuts anyway, but it was SO salty and soy saucey. And no tomatoes or peppers. Boo! It tasted old and yucky. But all is right with the world once more now that they've made it properly again.
That was exciting. Okay, gonna run to TJ's and may as well get the dinner together and throw it in the fridge.
