Tuesday

Swazzle · December 2015

Yesterday was the longest day ever and I can't believe it's really only Tuesday.

I got my SS gift in the mail yesterday and OMG you guys. I cried at the note my person wrote for me and I cannot believe the amazingness of my gift. Just incredible

I can't wait for the big reveal!

I went to the gym last night with H even though I really didn't want to because it was so late by the time I got home. He made me go with him and I'm really grateful. Then he made dinner while I showered, we ate, I cleaned the kitchen, and by then it was 9:30 and time for bed because there are just not enough hours in the day.

I've officially rejoined Weight Watchers for the billionth time. I'm overweight and I'm sick of how I feel day in and day out and hating what I see in the mirror and in pictures. Something needs to change and I'm the only one who can do it.

Yesterday was a really long day, I agree!

Good job on going back to the gym and restarting WW. Keep it up! ETA to tag @Swazzle because my brain isn't on yet.

We have a work holiday lunch today. I brought a fruit tray. I figure if no one else eats it, at least H and I can snack on it later, right?

Is it time to go back to bed yet?!? I was up on and off all night... and finally at 3 AM, I got up to to drink some chocolate milk because I was so hungry. That stuff is amazing.

@Swazzle I can't wait to see your SS gift!!!! And good luck with WW. I rejoined too but I haven't been very good about actually tracking. Whoops. I'm going to try to go for a run today around noon if my work lets me get away.

Yesterday dragged on forever and ever. I made myself go home and do laundry and dishes and then H and I had black bean burgers for dinner and vegged out the rest of the night.

Not much going on today I guess. I'm hoping to go for a run around noon, but considering I had to take a 30 minute pause for emails in typing this means it's becoming less and less likely.

This is a P&R because I'm currently waiting for my home inspection to begin, I'm half nervous and half excited. After this I have 5 days to ask the sellers to fix anything, so wish me luck everyone, I'll be back later!

jenna8984 · December 2015

@swazzleI love the gif of that Christmas kid every time I see it, he is just so excited! Good luck with WW, you have been doing an amazing job going to the gym. FWIW you look great in the stitch fix posts & clothes so don't be too hard on yourself, but I know what it's like to just not feel like yourself anymore and want to get that back.

Not much going on here, catching up on work and laundry and grocery shopping from being gone last week. Oh I got an invitation to my cousin's wedding in Arizona in February. We are going to try hard to go because I used to live there so I can visit my friends, and my 88 year old grandparents are flying there so that is a little scary and I'd feel better if H & I were with them to carry their bags and stuff. The cost kind of sucks because we were going to forgo a vacation this year to set up the nursery, but I think we can make it work.

jenna8984 · December 2015

good luck @wink0erin !!

labro · December 2015

Good luck @wink0erin! Don't forget that you can also ask to reduce the price based on what the inspector's report comes back with. And don't be afraid to walk away if there are some serious major flaws that are found too...Obviously worst case scenario. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes well and he only finds minor stuff/suggested improvements!

Swazzle · December 2015

@CocoBellaF - Thanks! Have fun at your holiday lunch.

@labro - Why is work such a life-ruiner?

@wink0erin - Good luck with the inspection! Vibes for no major issues!

@jenna8984 - Yea I just don't feel great about myself and I haven't for a while but thank you for the kind words

[Deleted User] · December 2015

Good luck today, @wink0erin !!! I hope it all goes well for you.

labro · December 2015

@Swazzle I don't know. Someone should just pay me without me having to work for it so I can live my dream of becoming a disgustingly rich but down to earth philanthropist.

Swazzle · December 2015

@labro - Can I get paid to travel the world and play with kittens? Please?

jenna8984 · December 2015

@labro I blame my grandparents...why didn't they buy up a bunch of land when it was pennies? Why are they not Sam Walton? I would have made a great heiress! lol

labro · December 2015

@jenna8984 @Swazzle RIGHT? I think we'd all be really really great heiresses. And @Swazzle One of my philanthropies is that no kitten should go unplayed with so obviously you'll be Program Director

minskat30 · December 2015

Good job on rejoining weight watchers @swazzle and @labro - you both are fabulous just the way you are (seriously, you both are hot) but "more" fit and healthy is always a good goal. I did NOT make it to the gym yesterday...it was a long day at work and then I spent time snuggling with Raj. Hopefully I make it to the gym today. I have to start the accountability threads again...next Monday, I promise.

@cocobellaf - Hot chocolate = heaven too. I actually hate milk but lately I've been loving it.

@wink0erin - Good luck today!

@jenna8984 - Where in Arizona is the wedding?

----------------------------
Welp, I'm a mess this morning. Dropped Rajah off for surgery and poor guy was scared. He knew something was up and panting pretty hard at the vet...I think they are going to give him a pre-surgery sedative to calm him down. For those of you who pray, please send up a prayer that the surgery goes well. For those of you who don't, please send Raj some good thoughts. I'll get a text before he goes into surgery and a call after so I'll be glued to my phone all day.

Other than that, I have a busy day at work with a deal that is going to turn hellish this afternoon more than likely and my annual work review at work is today. I'm a wee bit stressed as a result. Thankfully, I'm expecting a good review (well, hopefully) but I was hoping to tell my boss today I'm pregnant once we wrap up the review. We will see how much time we have after we complete the review and our other meeting agenda items but we usually have an extra 10 minutes for chit-chat at our status meetings. I guess it will depend if we have the time and if I don't get a call during that meeting from Raj's surgeon but I don't have another meeting with her until the end of January after this meeting so I really wanted to say something now...at the rate I'm bumping out ("short people" problems...or "no ab people" problems....think I'll go with the former), the end of January will be too late to not insult her intelligence. We also have a Christmas party next week for our division of the legal department and it would be a perfect time to mention the news to everyone else at work (its a bit of a gossip mill sometimes so being the one who tells the news is always best). Here is hoping that goes well. I'm ready to discuss maternity leave with her if she asks (and I know what my rights and benefits are obviously) but I'm hoping to punt that topic for our end of January meeting.

[Deleted User] · December 2015

@minskat30 - Good luck today to you and Raj!!! I'll be thinking and praying for your not-so-little furry baby. I hope your meeting goes well with your boss! I feel you on the short people/no abs blumping problem.

Swazzle · December 2015

@minskat30 - Sending all the vibes to Raj today! You guys will both be in my thoughts. Let us know how he is when you hear back from the vet. HUGS!!!!!

labro · December 2015

@minskat30 All the vibes to poor Raj today! Update us when you get a call from the vet!

Peaseblossom55 · December 2015

@wink0erin Good luck with the home inspection today!

@minskat30 Sending good vibes and prayers to Raj today. Keep us posted!

@swazzle As someone you just saw you two days ago, you are beautiful and look great. Good luck though with the WW.

I'm so tired today and had weird dreams last night. I slept pretty well though, so go figure. I have therapy after work today, which is helpful. I really hope this work day does drag, I want to go home and snuggle with my kitties. I've been craving cookies since yesterday, like all kind of cookies and Christmas cookies too. I have cookies in the house but I'm trying to be good. I had grapes for a snack last night. I had rehearsal last night and it went well. I was hope by 10. Luckily it won't be too stressful of a rehearsal period until opening on Friday.

beachyone15 · December 2015

Is it really only Tuesday?! Last night I went to the gym, we cooked, and watched t.v. The highlight of my night was that I had wine. I did manage to take some pics of our Christmas decor so I'll post those in the other thread!

@swazzle - Well, I think you're gorgeous but good for you for committing! I've done WW in the past and it really works. Plus, you don't ever have to feel like you're giving anything up completely. Don't even try to take away my cheese!
@CoCoBellaF - Chocolate milk is the best. My favorite is this ---

@wink0erin - Good luck!
@jenna8984 - That's nice of you to go to help your grandparents.
@minskat30 - I'll definitely say a little prayer today!

ETF: posted before I was done!

untouchablets · December 2015

@swazzle I feel you on feeling unhealthy and wanting to do better for yourself. I felt terrible about myself all summer and still do, and my scale isn't telling me what I want to hear. Good luck with WW! BTW you're a hottie no matter what

@minskat30 sending Raj MAJOR vibes!!!!!!!

I'm dragging my ass to the gym as soon as I finish my coffee. I wanted to go yesterday but instead I went and finished shopping for BF's Christmas gift and I got something else for his mom. Two down.... six to go. These people are all so hard to shop for too. I got BF a nice sweater from Banana Republic and then I conveniently got a 20 dollar off VIB coupon from Sephora so I splurged on some fancy schmancy cologne for him (which I spent like 20 minutes sniff-testing and comparing colognes to see what I liked best). He seriously never wants anything and his one hobby is covered by his parents so average dude gifts it is lol.

I am finally starting the program I need to complete before I can start my own dog training classes on Saturday! Even though I have experience and could pass the assessment with my hands tied behind my back, every trainer needs to go through it. So that sucks but it gave me time to get used to my new routine and get to know my coworkers and how the store is set up. Anyway, I'm excited about Saturday because the first class I'll be doing is Puppy level 1 and it's a first class out of six. YAY puppies!!

Today I think we are getting our Christmas tree (and new shelves for my room!) but at this point I have no idea. My roommate has been getting home from work late and tired so it's been a bit of a wash. We will see.

Swazzle · December 2015

@Peaseblossom55 - Thank you

I'm getting together with my family on Saturday to bake a gazillion cookies. It's going to be difficult not to eat ALL of them.

@beachyone15 - Agreed! I did WW years ago and had a lot of success with it but I also went to the meetings then and I haven't been as great when I do online only. Maybe/hopefully this time will be different.

@untouchablets - OH you just reminded me to use my $20 off coupon! I need foundation and a new beautyblender!

untouchablets · December 2015

@swazzle yeah I need to stock up on some stuff too but I'm waiting for Christmas because I usually get a gift card or two. It was very difficult going into that store and leaving without anything for myself lol

Peaseblossom55 · December 2015

@swazzle that sounds like so much fun! I would definitely eat all the cookies.

labro · December 2015

@peaseblossom55 Ooooo now you have me craving cookies. My mom just texted me about snickerdoodles so apparently sweets are on everyone's mind! Luckily our annual family baking day is coming on Sunday so I'll get to stuff my face. I have no shame.

MissKittyDanger · December 2015

@minskat30 vibes for Raj! I'm sure everything will go great though!

Class sucked last night. We're pretty much done and now it's on to "office stuff" but I'm not gonna work for the company so .... no.

I found what's been causing the sensitivity in my teeth. Yup. Found the cavity! Damn. Dentist appt next week, so hopefully that's the one to be dealt with.

Tonight is just cleaning up and grabbing xmas stuff. I need to go through how much {if any} wrapping paper we need.
Also did the math on my raise to approx how much per pay. Extra $65 a pay. Not bad and can't complain. It just means extra to savings now

Uhm .... idk what else lol! Low key week except for Saturday's my xmas party.

Peaseblossom55 · December 2015

@labro an annual family baking day??? That sounds like so much fun! I really want to do some baking and cookie making but I'd be the only one eating them....

@minskat30 Omg that poor dog!!! Also, I forgot to mention but I hope your review goes well!!

MissKittyDanger · December 2015

@labro I'm baking something similar to your hershey kisses idea. Chocolate chip cookies with mini Reese cups in center
