+2....flex :).

I'm sooooo hooooooottttttt, it's 33 degrees here and it's gonna stay that way.

Calvin is bringing me home a carmel apple from the Calgary Stampede tonight (he's working there this week) so add another 4 points or so lol.

I can't wait!!!!

I can't wait to move into our lovely new townhouse, so that we can set up our exercise equipment in the basement....

How weird, I actually want to exercise. I'm feeling kind of soft and jiggly at the moment, not to mention that my weigh loss has pretty much come to a halt - down one, up two etc...

I think that an hour on the elliptical/exercise bike everyday will definitely rid me of my wobbly bits; I know my eating isn't the problem, I know that for sure!

anyway, just had to say that. 5 more days!

23 points for the day...I'm not religiously counting points, but am watching what I'm eating and do a "surprise count" on myself every few days or so. I'm determined to win the competition at work and I only have about 10 pounds to go to reach my wedding goal of 140. Totally do-able!

Oh...My...God

The racy thoughts of a compulsive budgeter....

I was talking to our mortgage lady today - my office neighbour - and she was giving me the final numbers as far as our mortgage payment. I just about DIED. We pay a lower interest rate because I'm staff, but our mortgage payment is still calculated at the higher rate (a percent and a half higher I might add)

What this means for us, is that our mortgage payment is $140/month MORE than we had originally planned for; greeeeeaaat. On top of that, when we went to the lawyer a couple of weeks ago, the amortization period on our mortgage documents was 5 years less than what we had agreed on at the bank; apparently that's what head office had approved us for, we just weren't told.

Anyway, I'm just going to continue my puke-fest now. I kidd...

Weigh in -2.0

Yesssssssss....a month into the competition, I'm finally down a pound from my starting weight lol. What a joke, I need to start exercising more. That'll come when we move though, I'll actually have room to exercise.


I am SO tired today. Everyday for the last week, Rocky has been getting me up around 5am, whining and crying....just wanting to be petted. I am absolutely exhausted and don't really have much else to say for myself today :P.

Frig....Its HOT

Its 33 degrees here today and I think I might melt. I'm living up to all of my goals for the week except the exercise, unless packing counts as exercise. Its just too hot to use the exercise bike in our cramped quarters right now, but I think my Mom and I will be going for nightly 5k walks while Calvin is working at the Calgary Stampede.

Poor Rocky is beside himself in this heat. Right now, he's sleeping in the Aldo bag that my newly exchanged shoes came home in (!). He also wakes up sometime between 3:30 and 5:00 every morning, walks all over us while meowing, just to let us know how hot he is...and how much he hates the stand up fan.

So, thank God for my air-conditioned office, without it, I think I would die! Ironically enough, I actually got cold enough today that I considered turning on a space heater; how warped is that lol.

Weigh in: +1.0

Damn! I ate so well this week, drank a ton of water and even got some exercise in; stupid TOM!

Ironically, even though I gained a pound, I had the best results out of the 3 of us this week. One of the girls was up 2 pounds and the other put on 3. Here's to a new week....

Goals:

• Stick to TWO Tim Horton's double doubles
• Work out 4 times for at least 30 minutes
• No eating past 8:30
• Drink at least 10 glasses of water everyday

I don't think there was too much I could have done to avoid the gain this week, so I'm just gonna move on and hope to be rewarded on the scale next week.
