194.5 Yesterday was 195. Sunday was my relaxed day, but all I really ate off was some cake and Chinese. No, not of the cupcake variety but of the birthday cake variety. I forgot that oldest got invited to the neighbors for a party. The parents asked us to come over and hang so we did. As a result, I had cake. It was good and satisfied my cake tooth. LMAO CAKE TOOTH!
Anyways, I'm trying to get back into the groove the last two days but I've not been feeling it. I just feel frustrated and fried. My car is acting like an ass so I'm having to drive sparingly. We've been car shopping for over two years, but it got serious over the weekend and then the last two days. We spend almost all of yesterday looking at cars. I've found one I really like, but the price is a bit higher than I would like. I may still go look at it and see if they will come down. The one dealership yesterday came down almost 4k right off the mark. However, it was a base model and while I liked it, I really wanted a couple of other things. I feel like if I am going to pay darn near 30k, I should get some of the things I want! Plus, it was brand new and I'd much rather have one that is slightly used. Strange, yes. How I feel, yes.
So, money, finances, and people have all been on my mind and not really food. Although other than dinner yesterday, I was pretty good. And even dinner wasn't bad. I had one roll, half of my salad with a VERY light drizzle of honey mustard, 2.5 chicken tenders with BBQ sauce, and some loaded mashed potatoes. Unsweet tea. I didn't finish anything and stopped when I was full. Considering I missed my snack (oldest was hungry so I gave it to him) and it was late so we didn't do dessert, I don't think I was too far off. Plus, we were out and about and I did a lot of walking. I'm thinking about it in the back of my mind, but it's not at the forefront. I just don't feel like fretting over it. I want to lose weight, but this last week frustrated me. I am sure I made bad choices somewhere along the line, so I've just got to let it go and move on. But right now, I'm just annoyed. Maybe yesterday being out so much was good -- we had fun and got to do a lot. Maybe what I need is more time out. I need more of a life! Right now I would love to get outside and get a few things done. Maybe that is what I should do as soon as youngest goes down for a nap. Maybe I should put him down now and get outside and get a few things done? Sounding better and better as soon as I finish this coffee. :D Maybe I could even run to Ace later or tomorrow and get some pine needles for my flower beds if I can get them in decent order today. If I could weed, straighten and then clip the bushes, they would be ready for needles. Maybe I will do that today... I can't do painting as we are expecting rain later. Probably can't even mow, but I may try to do that pretty quick if I can. The rider makes it so easy! LOL
Well, should probably wrap this up now. Just a bit more coffee to finish and youngest is acting sleepy. Hopefully he will go down for a nap and then I can get a few things done. That alone would make me VERY happy! Toodles.
Good luck with the car buying...I'm almost there myself and dreading it! My car is acting like an ass too! Don't worry about feeling like you are out of your groove...fake it til you make it and then you'll be feeling it again!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read about the chicken tenders. I LIVE on those Tyson "all natural" tenders. I eat them alone, use them in salads and in lunches/dinners. We go through about 2 bags of tenders a week, and eat very little other meat. I'm really into Morningstar's fake meats, seems easier for my body to process. But I loves my tenders. I just wish I could find a lower fat and sodium brand.
ReplyDeleteChin up, jewlz.

ReplyDeleteUgh cars are so confusing, I hope you find one you like. It sounds like you're being more positive and that's awesome :) Sometimes its really good to just not think about things or else you'll drive yourself crazy :)
Here's to an awesome tomorrow!
