What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?
Have I ever mentioned that this is how I feel about lawyers? 
**Please disregard this Smiley if you is a lawyer.**
I've been on the phone with them all day and they have driven me slap nutz. Not nutz enough to emotionally eat, but that's cuz I had my backup plan. I fixed a big Atkin's taco salad and ate on that all day long. So it's all good and for that I am proud. Small victories lead to big ones!
I was in a really pissy mood, but I got a crazee funnee e-mail from Kimmie about a mutual friend that put me in a better mood. Thanks Kim for the laugh!

Sounds like you held fast! I've had my share of lawyers in my day.. lol You know what a hundred lawyers tied together at the bottom of the ocean is.. don't ya? Ya.. we've all heard it.. A GOOD START! lol Poor things.. they have to make a living too! lol
I did NOTHING to be proud of today.. and I'm proud of that!
I only did an hour of cardio and an hour of weights and I think Andrew and I laughed too hard today for it to be an effective workout. Other than that.. I got on the scale to see I'm up to 222! Three weeks ago I was 203.... ::pulling hair out:: I'm throwing ketones though.. so.. I'm pretty well stumped and I look forward to the doctor's visit on August 4th.
I REALLY watched every morsel today.. I'm fighting this thing for all I'm worth.
I had two meals... both were 2 whole eggs with 2 egg whites made in coconut oil. I counted coffees today.... 4 cups of coffee with splenda and heavy cream. One diet Iced T (2 carbs for the bottle). I drank 100 oz of water, took potassium, fish oil, chromium picolinate, cinnamon and bayer aspirin.

Lori, I love love love that joke! Lawyers. 
Excuse me, did you just say that you did nothing today to be proud of? I must have misread something somewhere cuz I PERSONALLY am extremely proud of you, so how you can not be amazes me. You did all of the right things. You rocked your workout, you're food choices, your water and your vitamins. Woman, when you were laid up on that sofa weighing three hundred pounds did the thought ever enter your head that you wished you were able to do all of those things? Well you're doing 'em baby and if you don't start taking credit for doing the do then I'm coming to slap you!!!
And I can't wait for you to go to the doctor on the 4th either because we all need to know the reason for all of your fluid retention drama. Sumpn' ain't right and we demand answers, damnit!

Well... I must say.. .when I was layin' on the couch at over 300 lbs, I didn't think I'd be gettin' down on myself for not getting my SECOND workout in!
Yesterday was fruitless.. too much laughing.. and this CAN be dangerous! (Make no mistake). But sometimes it's just gotta happen. Sometimes I forget that my trainer is so young because some of these conversations get outta hand. The last time this happened it was all over an innocent little question. He asked "how can I make $1000 real quick". I put the weights down and looked around. I ask "how many of these lonely, middle aged housewives are your clients?" He's still clueless .. looks around and says.. ooh... here.. now? About 10 of them."
Straight faced and serious I said "2 clients, 1 hour and you don't even have to break a sweat". When it hits him.. what I had suggested.. he fell out. This killed the whole session because then I told him I want 10% for hookin' him up~! HEY.. I DON"T WORK FOR FREE... YANNO?
Oh Gawd.. and here it is .. the next day and no one is going to believe this. but I'm saying it.
I got on the scale yesterday and was 222. This morning I'm 216.6. Of course I was p'ing all night and haven't slept much but it's coming back down. This time I gotta get under 200 before it wells up on me again. I guess I'm finding that when it happens.. it's between 15 and 20 lbs worth.. then it's kinda like a dam breaking. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't let it mess with my head so much.. it seriously depresses my ass when I know I'm working my (_o_) off and I watch the number get BIGGER.
Maybe I'll get up the guts to get up and clean this house! Jon is coming home today.. I wouldn't want him to think I was a lazy slob all week! LOL Oh gawd.. I have to make real food. Well.. I still got 2 dzn eggs in there and I'm stickin' to 'em!
