Daily Maintenance Weigh In, Sunday, July 20, 2014

183

Travel, travel and more travel on the horizon... always bloat up.  I came back from my last trip on hopped on the scale and I was up 8 lbs... lost 7 of it within 24 hours.

Somebody needs to do a PhD dissertation on "why?"

Hit the cycling hard last few days, prepping for a big race next Saturday.  I'm on a team of 4 - we'll be racing 400 miles starting Saturday at 5am, and plan to finish Sunday around 2-3am...

145.4  Quiet Sunday planned.  Two weeks 'till school starts.  Nov. retirement still out there, but have been asked to maybe reconsider...said I would think bout it- (strongly thinking nope)

155.0 They also need to write a PhD thesis on why the hell I gain 2 effing lbs after working hard in the garden for 2 hours. 

My back is whining at me. My hip feels like I shoved it up into my colon. I'll be seeing a chiropractor this week. 

I got a group email from my new boss at school last night. She wanted us all to check our email. I pull up my school email and she tells us that we are meeting at Village Inn for breakfast Monday morning. Now this is how every first day of a new job should begin. Hell yeah! She goes on to say wear comfy clothes because the air conditioning is spotty during the summer months. Check. Oh, and bring your ipods, ipads, books etc for the times when things get slow. 

So, just to confirm - 25% pay increase, less heavy lifting (textbooks will kill a person), I get to listen to my Audible books AND I start my first day at Village Inn? --Cool. :-)

I told hubby about the email and he just laughed and said "welcome to technology." 

Your job sounds like a sweet deal!!! 

I think that I'm excited because I know this group of women. I know the goods and bads. In reality, it is no better or worse than the Library. I will miss my old boss, but I'll still get to joke with him every day. I'll miss the secretary (administrative assistant) but I'll get to see her every day, too. I won't miss my work bestie, and I'll still see her every day, but I won't have to be in constant contact with her. 

So, I'm kind of letting myself be excited because I want to be. Better to focus on the fun things, imo. 

102.4 lbs today.  Have a good one, all!

Relaxing Sunday. Wore my new heels to church and did not fall and break my neck!!!  The fat girl in me said I might.  I slapped her down. Puttering around the house.  Dinner with friends tonight!

That somebody might be you, Tom!!!  I'm sick of the scale. Eating fairly well; yes, it could be better. I feel like if I eat one "bad" thing, the scale goes up!  Exercising like a warrior and for what!!!!  The scale is not rewarding me. Oh! Well...whine over!!

It's a gorgeous day...squirrels, bunnies and birds...in my back yard!  

4 inch heels? - Whoo- hoo- you!  Would never be so brave.

You could pull it off EASY!!!!

120 today.   my weight is directly correlated with whether i ate any peanut butter the night before. always up half a pound if i did and down a half if i didn't.   so peanut butter and airplane travel have more calories than we know.   oddly, it doesn't matter if i eat some peanuts; just the peanut butter.   this is all i know.     diane
