Weigh In in Diet and Exercise

Friday I had the worst day today! Started with Animal Control yelling at me for feeding starving cats. Then my crazy psycho neighbor came over to yell at me for calling animal control. Then I went to Petsmart and hit my head on a cage door and my head bleed like a stuck pig for 20 minutes. Normally this would have been my excuse to hit McDonalds. Instead I hit the gym! Yay me!

Good Things See above Ran 3 miles

TIme spent watching tv 15 minutes

Monday I picked up a cold somewhere along the line. I saw Gina’s parents yesterday before I realised I had a cold. My aunt has COPD so its dangerous for her to be around people with colds/flus. I hope she doesn’t get my cold. Don't know what I should do about Thanksgiving. I don't want to give my family a cold.

Things are crappy at work right now. They asked us to work voluntary overtime Friday and Saturday this week so I agreed to come home from the farm early and work both days. Then today they announce that we have to work 4 hours OT mandatory M-W. I explained to my boss that I was working out with Angie M-W so I couldn't do 4 hours M-W but I was going to work 12 hours OT Friday and Saturday. She said the mandatory OT was non negotiable and if I didn't work it I would get an incident so I had to cancel my appt with angie on Wednesday and now Im going to be working 11 ½ hours on Wednesday, driving an hour and a half to Bethany, then getting the turkey prepared and then getting up at 3 AM to put it in the oven. WIll be one hell of a long day. I guess I should concentrate on how now that Im not volunteering to work Friday and Saturday I will get to enjoy a long weekend.

It was weigh in day at the gym and I was 153.4! I want to lose 4 more pounds so I can consistently be 154 and not have it be dependent on my sodium intake or what time of the day I’m weighing.

Good Things I did for me Stayed in calorie range weighed and measured with Angie and we created my December work out plan Spin class

Good feeling to focus on. I was telling Cindi about my experience on Friday in choosing to go the gym rather than eat fast food and she was so proud of me. Made me feel good all over again. She was impressed that in the heat of the moment I was able to make a good choice.

Tuesday Exhausted tonight so this will be quick

Good Things I did for me Zumba worked out with Angie stayed in calorie range

Good Feeling to focus on Nada for today but a leftover from Sunday. Lainie rested her head against my shoulder. Her version of snuggles.

Saturday Sad to say I’m giving up on Open Diary for now. I've been wanting to post this all week and not been able to. I've been wanting to note my favorites and not been able to. I’m going to miss the friends I have made on OD but hopefully they will either all join prose box or one day soon OD will start working.

Busy day today. Ran/walked 5 miles. The weather outside was perfect 45-50. This cold is killing my running. Angie will not be happy with me. I was supposed to run 8 miles but the cold leaves me out of breath and exhausted about 2 miles in. I started walking at 2.5 miles.

Worked at ABF this afternoon. Some cute but ornery kittens. Buffy spilled his water and food and then walked in his litter box trailing dirty claw marks everywhere in his cage.

Good feeling to focus on Lindsay’s gratitude and thankfulness for my help with the cats at ABF. Its nice to be appreciated for my volunteering there. A big change from previous years.
