Weightloss, pms and  exercise.. what a combination

So Steve is down 24 pounds now and his blood pressure is awesome.  He's doing wonderful. Me, well it's is PMS week and I am having to stop myself from eatting my way through my kitchen. I hate that I crave so many different things during this week. I was due to have the evil aunt arrive but think my new exercise has tossed around my schedule. GREAAAAAAAAAAAAT LOL Today is better so maybe pms is subsiding. So if I pissed you off this past week.. sorry

We refrained from walking today because I couldn't walk lol Seems three days at going full steam after being, well, stationary was more than my muscles could handle. I am going to try and walk daily after the girls leave for school. Still cool enough for me to do that.

That's all I've got.. nothing exciting.

Happy Birthday to Danni and my sil Amy today!

While we were traveling to and from  Washington  I had a good time watching people.  It is  interesting in this day and age of traveling to watch those who are coming and going from this place or that.  You no longer see loved ones saying good bye anymore at the gate.  You only get to see the red eyes  of those who are sad  to go. The smiles of those that are happily traveling to see someone or go on holiday.

I sort of miss all the old age travel and how airlines provided you with more than a cup of something to drink.  Gone is the inflight entertainment on most airlines and don't expect a plastic covered blanket or pillow. Now they just give you what they had left from the last flight, damn the unsanitary conditions of that all. I miss clean, well kept airlines that made you feel like you were doing them a favor to be flying with them.

Went and walked again today. Nearly 12 miles walked and one day at the gym and I can't hardly move today. Getting up from sitting here is hell on my lower half lmao My only issue with this whole exercise thing is my cast. Today it felt about 10 pounds heavier from the sweating and swelling.  Walking again tomorrow and the gym. If I can walk on Tuesday I'll be doing good lol

I'm so excited for Friday to get here!!! We are going out of town and I can't wait to get there!! Several birthdays this week as well.. Danni on Monday and Mel on Tuesday and Jenna on Friday! Wooohooo cyber cake here I come!

Ok back to laundry..nearly have it all done

Got this from Danni

I WANT: to know my future now.. I hate surprises.
I HAVE: a great life despite the current turmoil
I WISH: for peace and more money so I wouldn't have to worry.
I HATE: confrontations
I MISS:  My Grandparents and my nephew
I HEAR: my dog chewing on a bone, Laguna Beach, and Steve rustling around in the garage/
I WONDER: what I am going to eat for lunch
I REGRET: most is not seeing my Grandmother one more time before she passed away
I AM NOT: nice all the time but I try to be
I DANCE: to the beat of my own drummer, a conformist I am not.
I SING: fairly well but you won't hear me unless I've been drinking
I CRY: when I leave my family
I AM NOT ALWAYS: a good girl
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: lots of things but nothing lately
I WRITE: poetry, stories and the like but I very rarely share them because it's my own private world.
I CONFUSE: myself at times
I NEED: to know that my future is so bright I gotta wear shades
I SHOULD: take a shower
I START: things and forget to finish them
I FINISH:  each day by telling my husband and girls I love them

That was fun! I went and walked 4 more miles and did the gym this time and let me tell you the outer thigh machine set my ass on fire. The muscles were burning so bad I thought I was going to scream. But I did it today and we will walk again tomorrow. I may try to walk daily but we'll see.

I'm craving tuna fish sandwiches which is strange for me because I don't like it anymore. I need to eat lunch.. not sure what I am having. Steve is going Dove hunting so it's just me and Jess. Chelsea went to the lake for the weekend with her friend.

We put ourselves on a strict budget. OUCH lol but I only have 20$ left for the week! We spend money very poorly and so we can't spend any money out of checking unless it's food for the house or gas. It has to be a neccesitiy or we can't purchase it. With Steve facing no income from work in 6 more paychecks we have to learn to spend and save our money more wisely. I am going next week to pick up some applications and he's applied for 4-5 jobs so far. We're just hoping for enough to allow us to keep on the current path.

We are taking Jess to see the doctor soon so we can determine if she has an anger issue or something else going on. The kid gets so out of control and just rages at me and Steve verbally. We have stuck to our guns and that  is the one thing that has been missing for a long time. I know Rome was not built in a day so I am aware its going to take time. But  I just feel like I owe it to her to help get her on a more even keel.

They both like school so far this year. Granted it is the first week but the drama seems reduced lol so that is a good thing. We went to the football game last night.. we got stomped on 52-0 our poor guys.. they tried

Ok , If  I don't move soon I'm finished lol

Enjoy your weekend!

We are fine here in NC. The power went out at about 11:15 and stayed out till 2am or so. For the most part it was rain and some high winds. Now Ernesto is bugging our friends in VA and I hope he's not too rough on them.

Went and walked 4 miles. The breeze was so nice and cool that when we started it was actually cold. Cast is all sweaty though ..ewwww lol  I also got up and cleaned the kitchen, made breakfast and am starting laundry. My goal is  to be able to do a few things other than cleaning this weekend. I am going to find my groove yet lol

Not much else to say ... Have a great weekend!
