Quickie update:
Still here, tax season sucks, have another head cold turned sinus infection but everything else is pretty good.
Today I weighed in at 277. Last weigh in was Saturday February 9 at 288. Eleven pounds down in just over two weeks. I'll take it. That brings me back to 40 down total. Still regaining ground but feeling strong and confident.
See you the next time Norma reminds me to post ;)

Crazy Train
Quick, posssibly grammatically incorrect post.
I passed my last two classes. B+ in both. I am a college graduate!! Now to find a new job.
I am just starting to get back to normal after that whole head/throat sickness. I completely lost my voice, had a crapton of snot everywhere and missed four days of work. Yeah, felt like complete crap. Still a bit clogged and hoarse but I can deal with it.
Blogging and commenting are at an all time low. Reason one: my oldest daughter's laptop crapped out on her. Since I am done with school, she took mine back to college with her. Hopefully I will regain custody in May. I have to share the desktop with the husband and two other kids. Well, the two kids don't do much on it. Although myfour five (since Saturday) year old is hooked on Yo Gabba Gabba YouTube videos. She likes the music but not the rest of the show so this works for her.
Reason two: tax season. I read your blogs, I just don't have the time to comment much. I read as a little break from the numbers. So here are some comments:
Enz- hope your shingles are getting better.
Jenn- that was a crazy list of bloodwork results. I know you'll make the right decisions.
RaeRaeJ- the 160s are right around the corner, I know it!
Leah- can't wait to see your makeover video!
Maren- sorry to hear about your trouble.
Lyn- pick one thing and stick to it.
SB- bulky idling- love it
Diane- I love your thought provoking posts
Norma- Glad things are getting back to normal up there. Bad weather sucks.
Jeanette- I hope those damn painters finish today! Hang in there.
I know I have forgotten so many people and I'm sorry. I am reading and cheering you on (or rolling my eyes at you).
Ok, onto the weight front. Complete suckage and gainage for a while. Then a couple of days ago my husband said something that changed things. I was looking for something to eat. He put his arms around me and said, "Are you giving up?" He flinched and tried to change it around to something else. My first thought was "Why you mother fuck...Ah shit, I hate it when he's right." So we had a talk about what was going on in my head (I'll tell you some other time, I've got to get back to work), what I wanted and needed and was just generally reminded how awesome my husband is. Now we are stocked up with great, clean food, a plan, and a renewed spirit.
I don't know why I do this shit to myself. Well, actually I do know why, I don't know why I don't stop doing it. So here I am. Saturday I weighed 288.5. Today was 286. Heading back down. Damn, that was hard saying for what? the fourth? time in a year that I screwed up. I don't want to be an eye roll, head bang inducing trainwreck. Fifth time's the charm.
Have to jump back on the mother fucking crazy train to taxland.

Need Sleep
I have been sick since Sunday night. I mean go to a doctor, missed work four days sick. Trust me, that's sick.
But I managed to submit the last assignment for the last class for my degree! Final paper worth 40% (crazy) of my grade. Let's hope I pass and can graduate.
I just want to go to bed. Maybe I'll even sleep.

Yeah, Happy New Year
Didn't realize I haven't posted since Christmas Eve. Things have been really friggen crazy.
Work has been insane. I had to do a crapload of year end payrolls, W2s, 1099s and the like. Now sales tax is due. Followed up by a ton of bookkeeping just in time for tax season to really ramp up. My boss is a total asshole and has been proving it on a near daily basis.
I am down to crunch time with the college stuff. I have to have all work done by January 31. I have so much to do and am completely stressing out over it. Anyone want to write a ten page case study on their workplace for Managerial Communications? Not your cup o tea, how about ten pages on organizational behavior? No takers? I don't blame you. I am so close to the end but I am so burnt out I can barely function.
We went to the end of our street for the first time since the big storm. The bridge was opened last week to general traffic not just residents. I should have stayed home. It was fucking awful. From the top of the bridge you could see the ocean. You never could before because there were houses there. Those houses are just gone. Other houses are collapsed on themselves. The debris and destruction nearly three months later is astounding. I cried to see these houses and neighborhoods I have lived near my whole life just destroyed, hell, just fucking gone. It was terrible.
My nine year old fell down the stairs at school. She went down on her belly and just grazed her head. The nurse thought she was fine but said we should keep an eye on her. She was just fine. Problem is our COBRA insurance ran out a week ago Wednesday. Private insurance policy is much more expensive than what we had under the COBRA. I wasn't expecting it to be more because how the hell could it be more? Well, it is and we can't afford it. Thankfully, the old man has been on Social Security disability long enough that he started medicare on January 1. The kids & I have nothing right now and I have such a shit feeling in the pit of my stomach over it. In March we have the evaluations for her possible cerebral palsy so I have to pull a fucking rabbit out of my hat soon.
I am having a terrible time with feelings of depression and anxiety. I know what I need to do but just don't do it. Exercise is non-existent but that's nothing new. Eating has been shit. Not complete shit because I don't keep much shit in the house but I have been eating way too much. Not making excuses just stating the facts.
Not exactly a happy place here. I am reading all your blogs but not commenting much. Contrary to the verbal vomit above, I just don't have a whole lot to say.
You sure you don't want to write a paper for me?

Never Enough Time
Last week: 271
This week: 271
No change
Total loss: 46 pounds
Many carbs were consumed this week.
This time of year is usually slow in the world of public accounting. Most people are so busy with the holiday season that they don't want to think about getting their paperwork in. Of course, come January/February they want their books done pronto so they can get a tax refund.
This year I am very busy. Crazy busy. That's cool, it makes the day go faster. It also means I'm a lousy commenter. I usually blog once a week, so no big change there but I do like to read and comment on other blogs. I'm reading but I just don't have the time or brain power to come up with witty, ok, any comments.
The workload should ease up the week of Christmas but then we get into my silly season. After the January 1, it's back to crazy town and I'll see you all in mid-April!
See you next week.

Friday
Last week: 272
This week: 271
Lost: 1
Total loss: 46
The beginning of the week saw temps in the high 60s low 70s. Today the high is going to be around 44. That's not all that cold but going from 71 to 41 literally gives me a headache.
We have a Christmas party tonight. It is the last get together of our now defunct church. It's potluck style so I know there will be plenty of food I can eat (I'm bringing it). The girls are excited because it means a late bedtime. The four year old is particularly funny as I know I will find her crapped out in a chair around 9:23. What can I say, she's a party animal!
Just because I can't not tell you: I wrote that post about my life not being all negative last Friday. During dinner Saturday night something fell out of my mouth. Odd because I totally chew with my mouth closed (major peeve). It took me a minute to figure it out. It was a tooth. Ok, so now I'm afraid to chew the gob of chicken because I am holding a friggin tooth. I start feeling around with my tongue. No, not over here...not here either...nooo...oh SHIT!...it's a front tooth! Not an all I want for Christmas tooth but the one right next to it. Son of a BITCH! A post, temporary crown and $980 later, I no longer look like I could have my own reality show hawking moonshine.
Have a great weekend!
