This Sucks!

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:23:20 GMT

I'm back up to 134, and have not lost any weight. It's not helping that my schedule will soon change, and I start school next Monday, which means I'll be teaching from 8-4 Mon. -Fri. and also working at the coffee shop every Tues., Thurs. and Friday night, but I'll be getting weekends off (thank god!). Blarg.

I've got an interview next Friday, and that will be possibly the longest day ever. It's at 5pm, which means I'll have to eat at the coffee shop. (The food is great there, and that's the problem! I've been craving chocolate chip cookies, and have been eating cookie dough for the past week as a snack after I get off of work. BLEH!) The interview is for an assistant manager position at Maurice's, which would be cool. I don't know, though. The big difference for getting this job would be the pay. I just want a job that pays better, but I like my summer's off as a teacher. I don't know what to do.

My diet has gone in the crapper, too.

I've dropped three pounds since last Thursday, so now I'm at 132! My appointment to get my tatt done is on Monday, July 21st, so I think I can lose seven more pounds by then!
Well, I'm off to go take a shower and possibly go shopping. My step-daughter's coming to visit tomorrow and Friday for the 4th, so I may not be on here until Saturday. Hope you're all doing well!

G'night!!!

I didn't exercise on Sunday or Monday either, so...I'm hoping that I will make up for my lovely intake(plus I binged on Sunday, so I didn't write anything down.... )today.

R. is also going to go walking, so I'll do that with him (he can only go for 10-20 min. for the first few weeks, since he's starting a new exercise routine), then I'll prolly end up going to the gym for another half-hour or so. Or, Tae-Bo sounds really good, since I'm feeling kinda anti-social. I'm glad I get off work tonight at 12:30, because I'm really not in the mood for dealing with people. I'm starting my Wellbutrin today, too. I was taking the generic, and half of what I should be taking, since we can't really afford the name-brand either(the 300 mg. of the generic didn't work for me, so I had to go down to 150). Thanks, health insurance!

**Good news: got my student loan in forbearance for another year, since we can't really afford to pay that off, with all of the other shite we've got going on right now either.

*I'm going out tonight, and limiting myself to 1-2 drinks, but I think that's pretty good, for me!
My goal by the end of July is to have lost 10 lbs. so I can arrive back to my goal weight again. I'm saving up for a tattoo(and have been for approx. the last two months now), so that by the third week of July I can justify getting it done.
I hope everyone is doing well!

The kid that was supposed to fill in for me tomorrow at the coffee shop got back from his "lunch break" a half-hour late, so I had to wait until 1am to go home. He came back, get this, stoned out of his mind, too. However, another kid that I work with was sweet enough to fill in for me on Sunday (after they closed at 4am the night before), and my shift was from noon-6pm. What a sweetheart! I was mad because I had already made plans with my parents, since I haven't seen them in a month.

I've been eating a lot of sweets lately and have been a bit stressed out about things. I can't go further into details, because I'd rather tell my close family and friends about this issue first. I haven't gained any weight, due to this late-night snacking, but haven't lost any either. Let's just say, special "pee on the stick" tests are involved(and no, I'm not referring to drug-tests, here).
Blarg. Okay, I need to go workout, now. I hate having that lovely hung-over feeling after getting up late from taking sleeping pills. My schedule is so wonky these days. I don't like it....
