No vampires were involved

Where to even begin?
We had our weigh in on Friday and I lost 1 lb. Which is good..since I didn't think I was going to lose any!


On Thursday night, Matt and I went to Walmart to get some groceries. This lady at Weight Watchers had mentioned to get the skinny cow ice creams. So we get to the freezer aisle and I felt so guilty. Even though they are within my points and supposed to be better for me then actual ice cream.. I just felt like ice cream isn't dieting. So I go to reach for them, and right before I pick them up all the lights go out in Walmart. .. and I'm not talking the main lights go out and the emergency lights are on.. I'm talking pitch black.. the only thing you can see is the little red exit sign light. And they don't flicker or anything.. they just stay off. We wait for like two or three minutes thinking they were going to come back on but they don't. So finally we decide to go towards the exit sign and maybe we can leave. We get there and of course its one of those "Push open and alarm will sound" doors. So we just decide to stay by it until the lights come on. We have been there like 10 minutes and here comes this Hispanic lady speaking spanish heading right towards the door. I'm thinking OMGosh she can't read english but surely she sees the red and knows what's going on. But no she just keep charging at the door. I am just imagining what it is going to be like when in the pitch black, THE FIRE ALARM GOES OFF! ... Just as she is about to touch the door the lights come back on. Thank God. I don't think I could've handled the stress of that. (Matt would add in the part where once the lights went out, I'm urgently telling him to get his phone out and tearing up because I am mildly Claustrophobic). So we finsh our shopping and have to wait in line for like 45 minutes for the regristers to come back up and then another 30 in the super long lines. While we are standing there, I look down the rows all  the way across to the end and there is a Green Dinosaur in line. Wait.. what?? yeah. A guy dressed in a dinosaur costume. Head and everything. It was crazy.. like we were in the Twilight zone. (not to be confused with Twilight.... no vampires were involved)




I really love Burger King. and ever since I have been on this diet I haven't had it. So, today I saved up enough points and checked the Burger King Nutrition website to calculate the points for a Buckdouble (which is a double cheeseburger with only one peice of cheese, for a dollar). I go to BK and order two Buckdoubles and a Diet Coke. The guy is like "we don't have Buckdoubles anymore."
"OK... can I get two Double Cheeseburgers with only one peice of cheese?" (It's BK you can have it your way, right?!) 
"uhhh... I guess. I'm still going to have to charge you the same." 
"That's ok. I am on a diet." 
"uhh.. ok"
Now I could have made this sound like a joke, but I was completely serious.. Ughh and I knew he was thinking.. Listen to this fatty saying she's on a diet but order two Double Cheeseburgers. 
I am so embarassed and feel so akward that when I get to the window, all I can do is laugh.. Hysterically. He is just looking at me like I am some complete wacko. But when I feel akward all I can do is laugh and make it more akward. 

Friday, we met with the Realtor and are going to finish signing papers tomorrow! I'm so excited. But I loathe moving. We are hoping to hire movers.. but I still have to pack everything in boxes. Uggh stupid boxes.


Peace.

Boss Man

Today, I did really good watching my points. We even went to Pappasito's for lunch and I ate what I was supposed to. I am curious to see if I lose any weight this weekend since I did so bad last weekend but am actually doing good now. 

Today we got an email from the boss man (he likes to call himself "Heffe" and we all know that is not the correct spelling, but we are too afraid to correct him) saying we need to make sure that what is supposed to get done that day, gets done. Guess who didn't finish? I swear I worked the entire time. I am just really behind from being sick yesterday. I hope he realizes this. 

We met with our Realtor today. I think we have found the place. Not only do we feel like we have found the place but the lady renting it feels like she has found the right tenants. So we hope and pray. We are actually meeting with her on Friday so that we can not only look good on paper but in real life too. I am trying not to get my hopes up but it is hard, because this place is perfect. Three bedrooms, two storys, three bathrooms, and a Garage. It is a  Townhome but there are only about 20 units and it is secluded from ...well everything really. I am trying to not get too excited because we thought we found the perfect one last week and the realtor was sure we were the strongest applicant and she ended up giving it to someone else. But everything happens for a reason and this one is alot better. And if for some reason we don't get this one the God has a better one in store...right?


So Lent starts next Wednesday. I am not catholic but ever since High School I have done 40/40. You give something up for forty days and forty nights. Last year I gave up soda's and facebook. I WILL NOT BE DOING THAT THIS YEAR. The soda thing I could do but it really wont benefit me too much because the only ones I drink are diet and they are very rare. Facebook... I'm sorry.. I did it last year and I was soooo bored. So I need some ideas of what to give up.

"A" game.

So this weekend was pretty sucessful.. well except for the eating part. I love Karma's sense of humor. I ate bad all weekend and Monday I get so sick! I'm better now though and I did really well today. (I wonder how many points Pepto is..)

Today after I felt better, I considered going to back to work. But then I reconsidered. I got alot of stuff done around the house. My mother-in-law helped me make my bouquet for the wedding. And they have just been siiting on my kitchen table for about a month now, so that they don't get smashed. I decided to put them up on top of our bookshelf that is by my desk. So, I climb on top of the desk and kinda lose my balance. And I'm like ok.. I'll try to land in the computer chair. Good news: I do. Bad news: it flips backwards. :)

On Friday, we went out and got Matt (my fiance) a new laptop because his is really old and starting to break. We get home and I am putting music on my iPod (from my Desktop) and it crashes. So now I am stuck with the old laptop. Oh well. 

Tomorrow, I gotta bring my "A" game at work. I had a dream that I got fired. That scares me. Not that I think that I would get fired but, I have been getting sick alot more then usual. I know my boss is getting irritated that I keep taking days off. So, I must go. Plus, Raising Hope is on and that show is hilarious.

Bite it. Write it.

So about a week ago I started Weight Watchers (which is not what all of my blogging will be about, mind you). A friend suggested that I start a blog and I thought it was ridiculous... but then all week I started narrating in my head what I would say on my blog in my head. Now it's to the point where I can't even think normally. So here it is. 

The first week went great! I lost 3 lbs. and then last night to reward myself ... I probably gained it all back at Humperdink's. And then again today at my boss's birthday party. Ohhh godd, I hope this isn't a blog about how to not be sucessful at WW. Our meeting last week was about Portion control. Failed. 


A little background.
I am 23 years old and engaged. We only have a Shih-Tzu named Gracie. So I don't have baby weight to lose, just food-baby weight. My sister (who is really a best friend) and my 2nd mother, have also joined WW with me. I haven't always been as big as I am now, and while I knew that after high school I was gaining weight, After it is all is said and done, I am still shocked. I think alot of it is the culture shock. People perceive you differently... and not just boys. It's actually probably the girls,more so then the guys. But I am not going to go into all of that. I am very confident about myself and quite pleased..but I do need to lose some weight. 


Tomorrow we are going out of town to meet my new neice. She is my sister-in-laws first child and they are having a 'coming home" party for her. This will be the ultimate test. My mother-in-law is the best baker in the world. I want to go into detail about the yummy desserts she makes, but I won't. I don't want to tempt you, or myself (which is probably what would end up happening).


That's all I've got for now.
