Well we are still going to Jeff's family reunion this weekend. So today I am shampooing the carpets and tomorrow I will clean the house. vonda is coming over on Thursday , we are going to take her out to eat for an early bday dinner. Her bday is Saturday. I bought her a body pillow, she is having trouble sleeping. Its only been about four months since her husband died, but I'm hoping this will help her some..
We had so much fun on the fourth. Its was so nice to chill and hangout with friends. We haven't done that in probably close to a year. I like it when Jeff drinks out in public, he gets lovey dovey with me. I like that he will put his arm around me or kiss me, because on normal days out in public he doesn't claim me like that. I use to think he was embarrassed by me, but now I just know he doesn't show any pda outside of our home.
Gaining this ten extra pounds was bad enough for me to get back into shape, but after all the photos of me from Friday , I have been in the dumps. I have always gained my weight evenly throughout my body, but with this surgery I have gained it all in my middle. That one picture that TaraAnn took of Jeff and I , is down right pathetic.. Then Jeff took one of me , and I'm just so ashamed. The one of Laura and I is okay. I had thought maybe I should start wearing makeup again, but I just don't like it..It makes my face itch and breakout..
So now not only am I still exercising hard core, I discovered an app on my phone that is like the fitbit. It keeps tracks of my steps and exercise and food. I forgot how helpful a food log was. I have also been eating lots of veggies, fruit, and proten no potatoes are pasta. I don't like rice so thats not a problem. The first couple of day with just meat and veggies and fruits gave me a headache, but I pushed through it and now I don't even crave them. I even stopped packing so much crap for Jeff's lunch and put more raw veggies and fruit in his lunch. I will weigh Thursday morning to see if this has helped. I know I won't lose ten pounds in a week , but three would be nice.
I have been stressing on what to wear to this reunion, I am meeting these people for the first time, plus its at the lake. I want to look nice, but be comfortable. I didn't know if I should wear shorts , capris, or a sun dress. So I called my sister in law Rondi. She is always dressed right for the occasion. She told me to wear shorts like those chino ones. I have none of those , I have been wanting some anyway so now was a great time to go shopping. I went to Target cause thats where Rondi said she saw them. While looking for them I found some cute denim boyfriend shorts. I grabbed my normal size and the one up, because I'm fatter now. Then I grabbed both of those sizes in the chinos. Well I was happy and sad in the dressing room. My normal size in the denim fit , but was a bit tight. The larger size was to baggie. So since I KNOW I will get his weight off I got my normal size. Then I went to try on the chinos, yea I couldn't even get them over my no hips.. I had to buy them two sizes bigger then what I normally wear. The lady at the dressing room told me it was because of the material, but with my sad self , I just don't care . I wanted my normal size. Then I got to thinking about why that matters so much. Its only a number on a tag.. I will just cut it out..LOL So anyway, I now have an outfit to wear at the reunion.
After that I went to Walmart to pick up a few things. I was in a hurry cause I only had an hour before I had to get Jordan to work. Now let me bring this to your attention, I had on my stretching exercise shorts and my mickey mouse shirt(love mickey) no makeup at all , but my hair was fixed. I was coming out of the isle with the deo. when I almost ran into this really cute guy. I apoligized and moved over. He said no problem, then as I went by him he went, mmhm.. I hauled ass to the other side of the store with a big smile on my face. Then in the cereal isle we met again.. He smiled really big and laughed with me , cause once again I was rushing by him.. I was running out of time to get back to the house. I really was in my own little world trying to get things on my list and get home. Then right before I was headed to check out, I thought I'm going to buy Vonda a bday cake. So I rushed over to where the cakes were. As I was turning around to put the cake in the basket, there was that same guy. I once again apoligized for bumping into him. He laughed and said no problem your absolutely fine.. It looks like your on a mission.. I told him yes I only have thirty minutes to get out of here. He smiled really big and said well good luck.. Talk about making my day.. I haven't been flirted with in a very long time, and for it to happen on a day that I was down in the dumps really lifted my spirit..Plus he was way younger than me..
Well thats all I got, Time to get busy.. Hope everyone has a great week.
