My work is having a Biggest Loser Challenge. It lasts eight weeks and it starts this Sunday March 27th. Just like the show, the person who loses the most weight in 8 weeks wins. I am not sure what the prize is yet, but I will be sure to let you know as soon as I find out.
I am going to participate! And hopefully win too! My weigh ins are now going to be on Sundays at 7am...or as close as possible anyway.
Wish me luck!

Calorie Fest
Last night for dinner I had a calorie fest...also known as CiCi's Pizza Buffet. In one meal, I ate more pizza and dessert pizza than any one person should consume in a week. Oh and to top it off I drank two 32oz sodas.
Yeah me!
Yeah me!

Last Night
Ok so you know I have been slacking off and not exercising or keeping up with my calories lately. I know I know...I am a bad dieter, but I told you that from the start.
But last night was different, last nigh I finally did it!
I climbed to the top of a mountain! Ok so not an actual mountain, but it was 20 flights of stairs, a bunch of walking around that involved more steps (for a total of about 23 flights) and then all the way back down. I thought I was going to die on the way up. I was sure that my legs were going to give out and my heart was going to explode.
While I was out of breath and my legs were so sore (and still are), it was so worth it!
The view up there is amazing....you can see for miles and miles.
I think it is safe to say that while I am still horrible about counting my calories, at least I am getting my exercise.
Well for one night anyway.

Sick!
I hate being sick, but then again who doesn't.
I am sick and my daughter is sick. Hopefully it stops with us....but I don't have that kind of luck.
You know that sick taste that you get in your mouth when you have a cold or the flu? I guess it is all that yummy phlegm...gag.......Well I eat to make the taste go away. The taste only stay away for a little bit and then it returns. A smart person would realize that it is not going to go away until you better....but I guess I'm not that smart, because I eat again, and again, and again. Needless to say I am not looking forward to weighing myself this week.
SO in other news........
I have been having a hard time at work and working seven days in a row is definitely NOT helping! Turns out I eat my feelings more then I thought. Does chocolate really solve everything? I found that the answer is....NO! The only thing chocolate does is put you in a good mood for about 1 minute.....then you start to regret it and feel even worse for a few days. OMG! When will I learn it is not worth it!?!
Last but definitely not least,
I CAN'T WAIT TO BE TRANSFERRED!!! ONLY 2 MORE DAYS!!!

My Bad Day!
I have admittedly been in a bad mood since I woke up. It was pouring down rain and I just wanted to stay in bed all day. Since that wasn't a realistic option, I got up and started the day.
I didn't want to go to the doctor, but I had to. My appointment was for 9am, they said get there 15 minutes early....They called me back at 10am.
I have been craving sushi, so after I let the doctor, I went to the grocery store. They were out!
My pants are soaked up the my knees!
One my way home, in the pouring rain, this idiot decides to slam on his brakes in the middle of the intersection....when we had a GREEN light. I was two car lengths behind him. I slammed on my brakes as hard as I could......but I still hit him. His car was fine, mine is destroyed. This guy was celebrating that I hit him...he was visibly happy and jumping up and down in excitement. When the cop got there, he was walking around acting all hurt and mad that I had hit his car. The cop asked me what happened and I told her. She then asked him what happened and he said that he slammed on the brakes at a green light because...........
an Ambulance was going through the intersection! I said Are you kidding me?? There was no ambulance! The cop said that the wreck was my fault for two reasons.
One I was following too close..apparently where I live you are supposed to follow 4 car lengths behind the car in front of you. Can you imagine?
Two Just because I didn't see or hear the ambulance doesn't mean that there wasn't one. Seriously?!? I drive an SUV and could see over his car, I did not hear a siren, other witnesses did not hear or see an ambulance. Yet the cop sided with him. This is absurd!
I have been driving for 14 years and this is the first accident I have been in that was my fault......but I still say, no scream, IT WAS NOT MY FAULT!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH! I hate idiots!
Needless to say this is not a good day for my diet.

Procrastinating
I am very good at it!
I keep putting off exercising, counting calories, stopping all the sugar, everything diet related. Pretty much the only thing I haven't put off is stopping all soda. Yes I have had some slips where I drank soda, but for the most part I am soda free. And guess what..........I don't even crave them any more. Actually the last one I drank made my mouth so dry and made me feel weird and sick. As soon as I finished drinking it I regretted it.
I have many different excuses, but my favorite one is that I am too tired. While it is true, it is still an excuse. Honestly lately it seems that I am always too tired. Too tired to exercise, too tired to drive, too tired to go grocery shopping, too tired to do anything. Working third shift is hard. It has been four months and I am still not used to it.....I hope I get used to it soon!
I really want to lose the weight. I have really wanted to lose the weight for a long time.....6 yrs as a matter of fact.
I guess I just don't have the will power to say no to sugary foods..........
I guess I just want it to be easy and its really HARD!
I guess I am just going to have to suck it up and DO IT ALREADY!
