Made the switch

3 07 2007

So, I’m officially back over on Wordpress now and back to the world of the Weightwatchen blogs. I have to say, all the new blogs are a little much to handle right now. It was pretty convenient that all my favorite blogs found eachother over here on Blogspot (well, Jynell was linked in as well!), and I’m definitely going to miss it. I think I’ll still continue to post over here and maintain my archive here. If there’s anything too non-weight loss that I feel the need to write about, I won’t feel guilty about writing here on Blogspot. (On Weightwatchen, I feel obligated to keep it to food)

Anyway, will stick around, but just wanted to give the heads up that my daily menus are back over on wordpress….still Taking the Reins, just not all the way up on the “Most Active” list. :)



Vultures!

3 07 2007

Those people on Craigslist are all vultures, I swear.  I found the perfect road bike today and e-mailed the girl within an hour of the listing.  We tentatively set up a time tomorrow morning for me to see it, since I was working today and I wanted my hubby to come with…..but when I just called for directions, she told me someone had already come and bought it out from under me!  Argh!!!!!  What am I supposed to do– Paypal them in advance to reserve the bike?!  I could scream.  Had my heart set on this darn bike and bragged to everyone in the office all day long.  Think of all the time I’d be saving off my 12 mile bike ride if I switched from the mountain bike to the road bike?!  It’s just that kind of day.

Have 8 points left on the table and am absolutely ravenous.  Didn’t really eat a proper lunch because it was a shorter work day and had conference calls all day, so I’m an unsatisfied customer.  Have a swim workout I can do today if I want to, or I can call it my day off.  Am thinking I may go swim, as I have a lot of angry “I didn’t get the bike and will never get one” emotion that I must get rid of.  To top it all off, just the thought of the crowds at the beach for the 4th of July makes me all cranky and angry.  I hate being hungry and disappointed!

Anyway, here’s the day so far.  Will update later:

I didn’t swim.  I ate so much I felt sick and then I went right to sleep on the couch.  Bleh.  But I’ve got it all out of my system now, so I suppose that’s a good thing.  Just downing water and trying to forget about the day.   Tomorrow will hopefully be better!
