Wound up Tight

I feel like a caged animal tonight. Not sure why. Very on edge. Kinda like a coiled snake, ready to strike.

I hate feeling like this. I want out of town, away from all thoughts of work, want to be wild for once.

Every feel like that?

Great program! I am now recording everything that I cook, and inputing all the nutritional information from the food labels. Its really kinda fun, but thats cause I am a geeky gal who loves bar charts and graphs. Yay me for being nerdy!

Might go to St Louis this weekend and hang with Toad if he is free. Another pal of mine is stuck in Gerard the first part of this week. Its too far to go down for an afternoon to visit, even with his generous offer of mucho "fornication". I told him I wasn't driving that far for a quickie. He said it didnt have to be quick! LOL!

I am so glad that I have an understanding husband who realizes that nearly all my friends have always been guys, and doesn't get bent out of shape with their odd humor. They crack me up! Jojo's head is in the gutter the majority of the time, but if he didnt hit on me, I would think something was wrong.

If I don't go anywhere this weekend, we will golf, even though it is supposed to be very hot. But, honestly, I kinda need a weekend away. Work is burning me out. So, when I figure out what I am doing, I will plan accordingly :)

Hmm!

Ok, so we went to golf last night as always. We went out to eat after because I just hate going home and not being able to visit with all my friends.

So, I had 3 chicken tenders (lightly breaded), with mustard, and a cottage cheese side. Kicked me out of Ketosis for the night, but I am now back to pink. Guzzling the water today~ We played in a tournament this morning as well, and I worked a few hours. Don't know what to make for supper!

Lainey! So happy you are here :) I missed ya! I'll post hair pics soon, on a day when I havent been outside all day :)

Hopefully I will meet my first short-term weight goal by the end of the month (only 2 more pounds). Then my goal is 15 lbs for next month.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday :)

Down 12 pounds in the past two weeks. Yay for me :)

Ok, so, eating out last friday stalled the weight loss until today. Actually, I gained 3 lbs from all the salt. I've got one more pound to go until I am back where I was last Friday morning. Bummer! But at least it is coming back off.

So, no eating out this Friday or this weekend.

I got a cute new haircut last night, I might post a picture later, its pretty short, but I like it. Much better than a ponytail every day.

I've got a friend who has been involved in ZS for a while now. I really didnt know what it was about, I just knew that it including planning for zombie attacks...

He posted this link on his blog, so I followed it.
As the RN - Emergency POD Coordinator for my County, This seems like a good program. I am more than in favor of anything that helps keep people prepared for disasters. Although in my job, I focus more on the New Madrid Fault, Bird Flu, Mass Communicable Disease and the like, I liked there Slogan...

"If you are prepared for a shambling horde of walking corpses that are trying to eat you alive, you will be prepared for just about anything."

This section was copied from the news article.

Zombie Squad recommends citizens prepare a "bug out bag" in case of emergencies. These kits could be quite extensive, but items should include:

Food and water for three days

A first aid kit

Weather protection

A flashlight and extra batteries

A radio

A knife or multi-tool

A source of fire

While my suggested kit has a few more things in it, these are definately the bare bones of what you will need should you ever be involved in an emergency. Follow the link, and read about this group that is helping make a difference! I was pleasantly surprised!

I dont normally by clothes that don't fit... but I couldnt help myself. I found this adorable little pink and brown stripped polo shirt. I loved it. Didn't try it on, new it wouldnt fit. But got it home, and realized its a Juniors! Ummm... ok. Not going to take it back. Gonna make it my next goal shirt. Will have to lose a little more than I had planned on before I can wear it, but its so cute it will be worth it.

I'm getting a massive hair-cut next Tuesday. Hair is too long to do anything with, and I want something a little more wild and fun. I'm considering some blue/bright red streaks. How brave am I????? :)

I spent 40,000 dollars on a get rich quick scheme. It didnt work! It was called College.


LOL! Yup, Debt and a degree, thats what I've got!

Thanks for whoever emailed myspace and said that I was so close to goal! My little ticker factory over there is just my Mini Goal for losing 20 lbs by September 1st :)

I actually want to lose another 60 after that :) Small Steps are easier to overcome :)

hugs!

Hey! One week down on this round, trying to stick fairly close to Atkin's 72 plan. 8.5 lbs lost this week :) woohoo for me, and I bought some new shorts :)

But, this is not without problems either.

TOM was 3-4 days early! Not a nice surprise! Been reading the forums at LCF and asking a lot of questions of the veterans over there, and apparently this is normal. This diet wasn't part of my nutrition classes in college! Imagine that! Wish it would have been, I might not have had to gain the Freshman 15... err, um, 60.

So, I am bloated, and irritable today, anyone want to pick a fight with me???:)

I'll cardio kickbox you to death, AND, I will do it to the beat of Love Shack, and Achey-Breaky Heart! Hows that for a threat??? :)

16 eggs, well Mixed
1 lbs Sausage, cooked and drained
1 lbs hamburger, cooked and drained
1 cup Sour Cream
1 small can Green Chiles
1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
2 cups Fiesta/mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp garlic powder.
Other seasons to taste.

Mix all ingredients in a large sealable plastic container. Keep in fridge at least 24 hours (48 tastes better).

Spray a Muffin tin THICKLY with PAM, or line with muffin cups. Laddle mixture into muffin cups until about 3/4 Full. The pan that I use has 12 fairly large muffins. Cook at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, until middle of muffins are set and knife comes out clean.

Makes 24 muffins.

Carbs per whole recipe: 50, so around 2 carbs per muffin

Mixture keeps at least a week in the fridge in a sealed plastic bowl. Muffins keep about a week in a ziplock bag. I made this once, and have been eating on it for 2 weeks for breakfasts.

Hope you Enjoy!

Ummm, I had to change my background, something about bandwidth, yadda yadda yadda. Its cool though. I like this too.

Go me, Go me!

Another 7 lbs lost this week. I feel like a rock star! (well, not really, but I'm proud anyways". This ass WILL be smaller by next year. I'm going to get rid of the clothes that are too big. I don't want to be able to think if I gain a few pounds I will be able to wear them again. Actually, I am going to take my two favorite pairs, and make a purse out of them.. Then I can carry it around, look at it, and it can remind me of how big my butt used to be, HOW'S THAT FOR MOTIVATION!


I wish I could quit my job and take photos all day, I love capturing this type of thing. Here is the picture from our Fireworks Display on the 4th of July, 2007.

iLOVE it :)

Smores Anyone?


I ordered a new couch! Its a big sectional, and should look fantastic! We get it on Friday :)

In-laws are coming next weekend (I think).

I got Ink on my favorite dress shirt of DH's, and my favorite blue scrub pants, so I have been trying all types of ink removing options. Alcohol wash so far works the best.

We are havinga big festival in town, and all the hotels might be full over the 4th of July weekend. If they are full, the in-laws will come a different weekend. I really dont care when they come, I just like to have a plan. I'm not much into waiting until the last minute to know what is happening. I am a planner!

Oh, yeah, the Smores part of this post. Our new couch is Brown Leather, and Chocolate and Toast Suede Microfiber. Its got big pillows, and looks like Marshmellows :)

Here is a picture!
We didnt get the endtables, or coffee table, because the ones we are we love, and they match, and we got the big matching ottoman. Can't wait till friday gets here!
