Lost and Found

Tuesday - No Spend Day! I made myself a tea at school, grabbed a free newspaper from the office and sat outside in the sun at Starbucks - the one whose patio gets the afternoon sun. As I sat there I swear I could hear the birds going "cheap cheap!"


I have "lost and found" the same two pounds for the last two weeks!! I've been falling off the wagon...a lot! Very frustrating - I don't think I'm going to hit my goal of another 10 pounds off by November! My rate when I was just losing was about 1.5 pounds a week so.....not  going to make it. But I am renewing my efforts and did really well yesterday...today I had lost those 2 pounds once again! Now the real effort must be put into NOT regaining them.


Good news: Michael got a one-off gig coaching Good Life Fitness executives at their PD day - $1500.00 for one afternoon!! Woot! AND my daughter left me a note to say she's been promoted to bartender - no more serving!! More money!! I've asked her to pay for her car insurance ($50 per month) and she hemmed and hawed, now she doesn't have any excuse!


Happy HUMP DAY to all of my fellow working stiffs!

  1. Wow $1,500 is a lot! And congrats to your daughter. I've been thinking of maybe applying for a bartending job for part-time.

  3. My dream when the girls are off the family cell phone plan and pay their own insurance, yes I see it coming in the future?

  6. wow $ coming your way! I'm struggling with the weight issue too - joined weight watchers online and a gym that's cheap - my intention with the gym was an extra place to go for classes or equipment/treadmill/change of scenery - ended up with a 'nice' personal trainer who basically pitched a temper tantrum (throwing a notebook binder on the floor and telling me I didn't want to be helped and I'd fail once again and walked out on me)-thinking seriously of filing a complaint. I still want the gym though because of the classes but I have such a negative feeling about the place now and don't want to see that jerk again.
    wow $1500 a day! too bad he doesn't get those every day LOL! bet he doesn't tell people they're losers...
    good luck with the 10 lbs - you're having so many problems I think because you're not that heavy to begin with - your body wants that insulation for the winter probably LOL!
