Finding ONEderland

I had a hard time getting myself started this morning. I have been having problems, more so than normal, with my back the last few days. It's causing my left hip and leg to hurt. Since I have had this for a while I am pretty sure it is a pinch nerve. Just like happened to my right side about 10 years ago. I am doing my best to keep it from getting worse. Using ice packs and stuff to keep the swelling down on the disk and being careful what I do. I'm doing my best to deal with this and keep up my walking routine. I need so bad to get some of this weight off and feel better.

Part of what brought this on is probably my doing some landscaping to the front yard. And while what I did looks much better than the barren look it was before, I am paying for it in a way I don't want to. Sometimes I am too stubborn for my own good. With back problems like this I need to realize I can't push myself through and do everything I want all the time....especially not when I have been inactive most of the winter and need badly to get in shape.

I feel I had a pretty good day today. I got up early even though I had stayed up a little later than I should have. I had my coffee and spent some time reading at the computer. I straighten up around the place a bit and even got a walk in with the hubby. I even got to listen to some snackie radio but then that was the point half in that my hubby decided to take me up on my talk earlier of going for a walk. LOL I'm going to try downloading it on podcast to my ipod. Better in one way since every so often it was cutting out while I was listening to it earlier. Probably because my cable company sucks. Btw for that don't know snackie radio is Snackie of Snackie's World. I have been listening to some of the shows but this was the first week I had got a chance to catch it on live. I love her humor.

Today I woke up and looked to see that it was very overcast outside....down right dreary. I have realized something about myself recently and that is that I get more done and feel better on days when it is sunny out. Overcast days don't inspire me to do much at all other than pull the covers over my head. However I fought that urge and got out of bed and into the shower. I have got some things done today but honestly it was more a struggle and I was not at all motivated to do the things I did but I knew they needed to be done. Hopefully tomorrow the sun will be out again. But I know if it is not then I can push past and get some things done.

Nothing like walking down the street and catching a glimpse of yourself in a store window to bring home reality. Talk about a wake up call....that side view is a killer...least for me. I hide it better looking straight into the windows like when you are going into a place.

Thing is a wake up call is a good thing, we need those. I been drifting by on stuff way too much. Letting the winter blues keep me down.

I have decided to change my weigh-in day to Tuesdays and try the night meetings again for the time being. I am so hit and miss on Saturday morning because of having trouble getting up. I am not much of a super early morning person. I love mornings but I would rather have them start at 9 AM. LOL

Happy Valentines dear readers. I hope you are having a beautiful day. Mine has been an okay day...wish it had been a little warmer but it didn't quiet make it up to the high that I was seeing on my weather program. Not sure if it is suppose to get warmer still or if they just missed it big time.

Had a doctor appointment today...not sure why I scheduled it for valentines day. It went good though. Set up some goals for the future and will be back in six months and have blood work done at that time. I'm looking forward to seeing how well I have done when the next visit comes around.

Now for the subject of todays blog. I am checking out a CD called Skinny Songs. It is a CD of cool little tunes to help motivate one while they are loosing weight. I have listened to the whole CD and there are 10 different songs. It has a few different styles of music on it too...which I think is pretty cool. If you like country or pop there is a song for you. I like a wide range of music so I enjoyed listening to the whole thing.

I do have a few favorites from the album. First is the song Skinny Jeans....it's a great song. We all know how great it feels to get into a pair of jeans after all that hard work. My favorites were some Lee jeans and I working on getting into these jeans. I'll be singing this song on my way to that goal.

Another favorite is Thin! Actually it's probably my top favorite on the album. Though I do change one lyric because I am careful how I use the word diet. Let me explain that a little...it's a personal thing and my definition of diet. It is not a short time thing for me, which is what too many things lead us to believe, it is a life style change...so I just sing, "Guess I'll eat a healthy diet". But don't get me wrong I love the song and find it very motivating!

Another one I would like to mention is Blowin' You off AT 8. This song is for all the ladies that have had been in a relationship with a man that said negatives things about them because of their weight. For me that would be my 1st husband. When listening to the song I could so put myself in a little fantasy of this and talk about motivation. I love this part of the lyrics in the song.

make no mistake about what you see
I didn’t do this for you -- I did it for me

The week before was another 289.5 to have a maintain. This was the bloat week weigh-in so I am not letting it get to me. I also missed a couple days of journaling but am back at it now and that is what matters.

The sun is trying to shine today. I NEED this sunshine so much...I have felt so down the last few days with all the rain. I know we need the rain after last years drought but it sure was killing my mood to not have any sun at all. The improved mood is helping me to get little projects done all around the house.

I got some updating done to my blogroll last week. I still have a few non health blogs to get listed but I may make a separate list for non health ones. There are lots of things I would like to get done while I am doing my job hunting. Making use of the time off till I find a good job.

I do want to update the software on this blog sometime. I am just a little bit nervous about how that will go. Don't want to kill my whole sight. I will back up what I can and then do it.

That is a maintain and I will take it...especially after a couple of weeks of loosing.

This week begins my first week after getting laid-off. It doesn't really feel like I am not working at the moment. Just like a long weekend. I did some laundry and cleaning today. It's so cold there wasn't really anything else to do.

I updated the side bar to have the correct amounts and other info. I want to do more to the page when time allows. I was just taking advantage of a quiet minute at work. I think it is the calm before the storm. Tomorrow it might hail....or least feel like hell LOL. At least it is a Friday and I will have the weekend to escape to. Then after that one more week and hopefully I can then focus on myself some.

Time to go finish up some stuff so I can get out of here on time and relax a little once I am home.

It has been a long day and I am very tired. We did our hoilday get together with my husbands aunts and uncles and all of their families. It was at his aunt's house which is far off the beaten path. The road going up is only one lane and very few houses on it. It was a very good time and the country there is just beautiful.

I did well to only eat one plate of food watching portions. I passed up on doing extra rolls and such. After lunch we all went out and took a nice wall down the road and back. I was really surprised at out well I did with the walk since I have gained a few pounds and since the wreck I hadn't done any exercise. I was worried that I would get started and need to stop and turn around before we got very far.

Once we got back we sat and watched some football. Pretty much I just listened to what people were saying cause I don't follow sports like that and didn't really know or care about what was going on on the tube. Then we had desert, I sampled a couple different ones but only very small pieces. After that was exchanging of gifts.

Then on the way home I stopped at my best friends house and gave her the present I had got her. We stay for a just a little while to talk and then headed out as we still needed to eat some dinner. Rounding out trip we stopped and did some grocery shopping. I had to get quite a few things as so much had expired in my fridge and pantry and needed replacing. The stuff I replaced I made sure was things we would use soon or had long shelf dates. Which won't be such a problem after 3 week once I don't have work tiring me out.

Now it is late and I am heading to bed. Hope everyone else is having a really good weekend too.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I had a very nice time though my days off seemed to have flew by at the speed of light.

One word for this month - Busy. At least it should be coming to an end with all the things that are taking up my time...mostly work. Though it will probably get worse before it gets better. If things go the way I have been told then it should be over with just past the middle of the month of January. I'll be glad to move on to another phase of my life.

I did go back to WW and have been there the last two Saturdays. I am going to stick with Saturday meetings for the moment because that is just easier for me with work and all. Honestly right now it is just about keeping my head above water. I can think about more once things calm down.

I am slowly but surely catching up on my blog reading. I decided that I missed it too much and that I couldn't let go of stuff that I liked to do just because work is super busy. I can do both and make it through till all of this is over. Then I will have plenty of time for me again. I just keep counting it down.

My birthday was yesterday. I went to dinner with my husband and had a nice healthy meal that was delicious too. I got a camcorder for my birthday and looking forward to getting to play with it some. I did a little recording so far. I have to get the software installed on my PC to upload all the stuff. Will hopefully have time this weekend to do that.

I've got to get back to WW. I haven't been since the car wreck. I am planning on going back Saturday. My hours will be changing at work and will make week days a little bit more difficult to pull off right now. Once we close down then I can find something during the day time on week days. Right now I just need to get back and back on track again.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. I am truly enjoying the time off. And am wishing it could last longer but then soon enough for that because the place I am working is closing down and I will be out of work shortly after the first of the year. It's going to be a much needed break after being so busy at work for such a long time due to cut back and people leaving.

I know I have been really quiet lately. One of the things that had happened to me was a car wreck. I had an 18 wheeler pull out in front of me and total my car. Thankfully I was able to walk away from the wreck with mild injuries...nothing life threatening. I am still dealing with the mental aspects of the accident...I still get nervous when someone is at a side road and worry they might stupidly pull out into my direct path. That kind of thing. I got a new car and I like it...took me a while to feel that way cause I didn't really want to drive too much to start with. I think I could have easily gone to walking and riding a bike expect nearly 20 miles one way to work would suck on a bike.

Work has also kept me very busy and not gave me a lot of time to do much other than work. Once I get home I don't really feel like looking at a computer. Looks like I won't be spending too much time personally on the computer till after the middle of January.

I try and read a blog here and there but I am very behind on what I use to read. And I haven't really had time to leave comments lately. But I do think of everyone and I hope you are all doing well. I also want to try and get back to doing more writing on my own blog because I enjoy it so much.

On the wait lost front...I have been cooking a lot more at home and really enjoying that. I don't think I have lost any weight though, especially not after this holiday weekend. However eating healthier food at home is a big step and more so with how busy my life has become. I need to get back to WW and check in. I hadn't been since right before the accident.

Life has been busy and complicated. Some things I will talk about at some time in the future when I feel more okay with doing so. Work has been busy but I am handling it okay though occasionally I feel like I might get dragged under the tide but then I get my head above water again.

Fall has finally arrived and I am glad to see it. My skin is starting to let me know it is time to start with the lotion. So I am going to start doing that and fight the roughness and hopefully make it where I can deal better with the cool air this year.

My weight loss efforts are a little stalled right now but I have not lost sight of my goals. I'm just trying to get through everything best that I can and then I will put full effort into my goals.

I hate to say but i have fallen sorely behind on my blog reading. I am not sure I will be able to catch up till once this is all over. I do think about all of you often and I hope each and everyone is doing well.

Oh one other thing...I am listening to an awesome book. Eat Pray and Love....I got it on CD since there is no way I have time to do any real reading at the moment. So far I love it....very nice for my drive to and from work. I'll let you know what I think once I am done.

I am nearing the 2 year mark on doing this blog. I started with a few entries on blogger.com and then got this domain and moved everything here. I have enjoyed it quiet a bit. I spent some time reading back through my blog and found it very cool to see my life in that way. I also noticed something too. I was doing well for a while till all the work stress hit. That stuff going on with where I work that I couldn't talk about...well I can now but I will get to that later in the post. First though I noticed when I was happy with my job how much better I was doing with getting the weight off. Of course it is easier to get motivated when everything isn't going crazy. But I also have to wonder how much stress and hormones from it caused it to be such a struggle.

There are many articles on how the stress hormone cortisol causes added fat especially in the stomach area. I wonder if I hadn't been watching what I eat and trying to get in exercise how much more weight I might have gained. It was definitely enough as it was that is for sure. I felt like I was going backwards in so many ways.

I am still going to WW though I missed my meeting this last week. I am still thinking about switching to a week day meeting....either Tuesday or Thursday night I think. I really want to find a group I bond with and get to know some of the members better.

As far as work...it will be over in about 3 months. I thought it would all have been done way before now. We found our a year and a half ago that we were closing down our dial up division. We sold the customers to big name company....got through that and laid off most of the techs. We dropped our 24/7 support and I went from working one position to working much more, pretty much picking up all the stuff that the people that were let go did. I was juggling admin assist, HR, telco prov. assist. and tech support.....oh and accounts payable for the office.

At first I was so busy I didn't have time to breathe but then it slowed down and got really boring. Now I expect it is going to get back to the no time to do anything again.

We were told they were looking for someone to buy our company but that if it wasn't bought that they would close us. And if we ended up closing that those of us that stuck it out would get a severance package. As fast as all the other stuff went down we thought this was going to go quickly too. We were told we should know something in a couple of months. This was in the summer and we should know by fall time. Well fall came and went, so did winter. In spring we finally got word that we were closing but by the end of the same day we were told we were not, that another company was looking at us. And on and on it has went...till now and finally we are back at closing and the actual notices have gone out. We are down to a skeleton crew...in fact a few of the people that were going to be here till the close down quit and went else where. I can't blame them...their are times I wonder if I shouldn't have done the same. But the thought of the severance and how it could let me transition to something I would enjoy kept me going.

I don't want in the same kind of work again. I'm looking at this as a positive thing...that it might give me a small break to work on my health. As far as jobs...I think I would like to work at my local Curves. I really like the place and the ladies there. So I will apply for that and see how it goes once I have been let go of and go to looking for work.

Okay I think this is the longest I have gone without posting. Almost a full month. Part of that has been spent waiting on my new desk to arrive. Long story short....I ordered it on Aug 24th and my husband was afraid it would arrive and there would be no place to put it. So I took the old one down (along with my computer) piled it all at the side of the room and waited. After the week passed that it said the desk was to come in,Sept 1st - 9th, I called the place and they tell me it didn't ship out when they said, that it had shipped on the 6th (mid week of the week it was suppose to arrive). So I continued to wait. It showed up Friday....and the guy asked my hubby to unload it. My hubby had him unload it put it under our car port (it was raining outside). My invoice said inside delivery. I would have gotten that had I been home. It is a beautiful desk and I do like it but I am not sure I will ever order from that place again.

I am still going to WW. I am thinking about trying out some other meetings as I am not happy with someone at the Saturday one. They put us together in groups to trouble shoot "reasons" for not exercising. One of the ones my group was brain storming was baby sitting getting in the way. I suggested a workout DVD and including the kids or taking them to the park to get a work out in. This one grandmother (who had the problem to begin and had suggested it) looks at me and tells me "obviously you don't have any children". It was so frigging rude I wanted to just get up and walk out. I am trying to offer help and someone has the nerve to get snide to me. I don't know if I want to be in the same room with this woman again. I have no tolerance for bull shit these days and that is what that was.

Also on the meetings....I need to find one where I actually bond with a few people. Otherwise I am going to stop going once the prepaid runs out. I give it till then for it to work out. The first time I was going I bonded with 4 gals and had a wonderful time. It was an evening meeting. The whole atmosphere of that meeting was just so much better than the Saturday ones. So I am going to go check out some others and see what I think of them. I just have to get over the whole thing of weighing after dinner.

I am back to walking now that the 90 degree heat has taken a break. I had such big plans on the walking...well I can still do it starting now.

What a crazy day this has been. I woke up with a sore throat and drug myself into work to find that the a/c had messed up and flooded part of our server room, the hall leading to it and my boss's office. So I turned off the a/c, called the repair guys and they came. Said it was a clogged drained and fixed that. Well several hours after he's gone we are STILL cleaning up water and realize it wasn't from before but still coming from the unit. So we call them back in. They are working on it now. In the mean time it came a total pour down of rain outside blowing nearly side ways and came through the front doors flooding the reception area. At least the rain has cooled it down some...being in a metal building with a/c on the blink is NOT a good thing. Maybe the grass will turn some other color than brown now...if not we could always plant it in here...sure if enough water for it.

The ninety degree heat has had me skipping out on my workouts something bad. In fact over the last three weeks I think I have only worked out three times. That is really bad and I need to do much better at it. A look at the weather forecast only shows two days coming up that are in the mid eighties and then back to the nineties again. Today they are calling for ninety-nine.

I am wishing I had one of those jobs with flexible hours where I could come in anytime between two times and work my eight hours. Say like between seven to ten. That would work so well but I don't have that luxury. I have to be at work at seven in the morning and I can't bring myself to get up early enough to work out and get ready too. The mornings are so nice and so much cooler and would be perfect for a work out.

I am going to have to find some kind of solution to this problem. Not sure just what it will be but it will be something.

~ Yours Truly,
Longing for Fall~

Well the mammogram went ok and wasn't anything to worry about like I had been doing. Least once I got there it was quick in and out and the ladies were sooooo nice.

My weigh-in Saturday also went well. I lost half a pound. I would have liked to have seen something bigger gone but then my trip to DQ the night before kinda stopped that from happening. I need to tell my husband no when he starts these what we having for dessert things. Either that or tell him I am not having dessert but he's more than welcome to go alone.

I hadn't been in a great mood today but feel better after an unusual visitor I had. The visitor came in a dream. I took a nap a little while ago and in my dream my younger self (about 19 or so) came and I saw something in her that I haven't had in a while. The true desire to be doing this just for me....completely and wholly for myself. It's really hard to explain but I will just say it was very powerful "vision".

I'm a little nervous this morning. I have my first mammogram around midday today. I am not looking forward to it. I am wanting to get it over with and wish I could just go now and be done with it. I wasn't really thinking that much about it till my last doctor visit and she was talking about getting a squish pad so that it would cut down on the pain and not to be freaked if they had shadows on it and needed to do another one or if they had to do an ultra sound. Pretty much I hadn't thought about it in that detail. I figured I would have it done and be that. Not that I might have to stick my boobs in the vise more than once or anything. I would rather have got that talk if they had to do another time and told me why then.

I am still hoping it's not going to be bad. I had not really thought it would be but then after that talk there is this little feeling in my stomach that I wish would just go away. I think it's called worry. I am not use to dealing with it. I might deal with high stress levels over things in my life but I don't normally have worry like this. It's only 7:30am....it's going to be a long morning.

Last time I looked at the scale I saw 283 which with all the hormone issues I am having at the moment is not bad. I stopped taking one of my meds and my body is doing some adjusting. Along with the fact that it has been raining every day which has put a damper on getting any walks in. I however am ready once the rain stops. I got a couple more pairs of walking shoes, these are actually in the wide width that I need and should do a good job. One pair was half off which is why I got two pairs instead of one.

I have stocked my kitchen with healthy food and am planning on doing a lot more cooking at home. Even cleaned the freezer out so that I can find stuff easier. Boy that makes a huge difference.

I'm up at 1am...I had fallen asleep around 7pm tonight and that was my undoing. I had such a headache and though I wanted to do some reading I gave up and fell asleep instead. I'll have to work to keep this from causing me any more missed sleep this week.

I had my yearly doctor exam today. My doc mentioned my weight gain over the last couple of years, 20 pounds. For a second I felt disappointed cause it was a reminder of how hard this has been the last bit but then I put my chin up and told her how well I have been doing and that I am on week 4 of exercising at least 6 days a week.

It didn't help that she saw me in the afternoon after two meals, plenty of water and my bloat week. So I am not sure how much of that 20 was because of that. I know this week I have been up on the scales but I can feel it as water bloat. But I also know that I have not done as well as I would have liked over the last couple of years and I am turn that around and will bring it back down. Next step is to get back to my healthy eating in a constant way. I am doing a little of that now but I really need to do it all day...every day.

I got to chat with Flabuless from http://www.findingflabuless.com/ and had a wonderful time. Go check out her blog...I think you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

I will work on catching up on blogs tomorrow as I didn't get to read today due to having to get weekly paperwork in at work before leaving for my appointment. Now I had better get to bed and try to keep from messing up my sleep cycle too much.

It's been a crappy week. Work has sucked due to some outages beyond our control. Probably the most calls I have taken in months. I think all that is back to normal now...least I am hoping so.

As far as exercise I have been getting in walks most days and I even got to Curves one day this week. Eating could have been better. I am not sure what my weight...I haven't been sleeping good and due to snoozing in for the morning have been passing up the scale a lot. I will weigh tomorrow and post it.

Thanks for all the comments and well wishings. You guys gave me something to smile about even though the week was pretty rough. Hope everyone is doing well. Off to read some blogs...I am majorly behind on that.

I had a post wrote out and lost it. I really wish I could figure out some type of program that I could use to upload a post instead of doing it from the webpage. So far I haven't found something like that for movable type. So I will try and redo my post.

We didn't go walking yesterday because of having a nasty thunder storm. It was really close sounding and poured rain like mad. So much it over did the gutters since the trees have been filling them with little bits of seed. Didn't expect that to happen as they were just cleaned out in the fall. Guess we'll clean them out a week earlier than I had planned since when they over flow they drown one of the office windows. Also I didn't cook at home with that crap going on...no standing around electric appliances for me with that kind of booming going on.

I am hoping the storms that come today will wait till much later. One of my co-workers passed away and I will be at the graveside service this afternoon. I hadn't felt much like talking about it till now. I miss him a great deal and I am so thankful to have had him in my life and for the memories I have to cherish because of it. However it hard to loose someone and it's been a sad week because of this even with the good things that have happened. Plus I am finding myself a little angry at times. Of course it is not helping that I keep running the wheels of my chair over my skirt today...I am so not use to wearing a dress anymore.

I want to thank everyone who takes the time to leave comments. It's nice to know I am not talking to thin air or all bots going to my page. Hilly's post got me to thinking yesterday. Sometimes I worry that I am not interesting enough and that is why I don't get a lot of comments. It's old insecurities from my past that haunt me. A rough childhood in many ways. And it is that same childhood that I think caused some of my weight gain.

I grew up dirt poor which meant that I was easy pray for bullies and being picked on at school. The only time before I was an adult living on my own that I had new clothes was when my uncle bought some for my sister and me when I was in the 3rd grade. Everything else was hand me downs, toss outs or something my mother made me. Not that it's bad, I sure gained a lot of character through it...however it does make for standing out in school a bad way when your in the 80s and your clothes are rejects from the 70s that are way too brightly colored and made of polester....a vivid pair of green and purple pants come to mind *shudder*. Appearance in my family was not a priority or even close.

There is also the fact that we lived in a house that had no bathroom. It did have running water but it was only cold water. So it was a very long time before I had any friends over. My father was way over protective and never let me or my sister be involved in school functions of any kind. Plus I think there was the money issue with that too. I think it would have made a world of difference if I had grown up doing some kind of sports and being active with my friends.

I also think if we had more money we might have ate better. Our meals were normally one thing and we would eat a huge plate of what ever it was. Boxed mac and cheese, that frozen fried chicken in a box, potatoes, bread and gravy. Heck I though the school meals were great cause I got a choice. Being poor you are told to not waste and clean your plate and if you did leave food you got in trouble. It's took years to get past that one but I can leave food on my plate now.

There was the fact that for the first part of my youth I was very thin and my parents worried that I was too thin and tried to get me to eat constantly. Always telling me I needed to gain weight. Thing was I think I was a normal weight for a kid that was active. And even when I started to gain weight cause of hormones I was being told I needed meat on my bones. It's no wonder most of my family was over weight with these kind of perceptions.

I know there are people that grew up with it a lot worse than I did. And like I said I got some character from the whole deal but sometimes I wonder how different my life would have been. Would I have had such a problem with gaining weight. Would I have realized earlier what was going on. Would I still have that nagging little doubt about if people liked me or not. I like me....I guess that is what matters most.

I am so tired today. Pretty much all week I have not been getting enough sleep for how early I have to get up and go to work. It's really caught up with me today though as I fell asleep twice while my DH was talking to me. I don't normally fall asleep when anyone is talking to me. I plan on making an early night of it and going to bed soon as it gets dark.

I really need to get enough sleep so I am motivated to get to the gym and work out. I don't do well with going when I am this tired. My weight is not going to do a lot of moving down if I don't get my butt to moving and get in exercise each day. I know this very well. Most people need exercise to help them lose but I need it even more so because of the PCOS and how it has affected my metabolism. Plus if I don't exercise I will loose both fat and muscle and I can't afford to loose muscle...that just slows down my metabolism even more. I need to build muscle and working out at Curves does help me do that.
