TTT 11-15-12

Ten Things Thursday.....

1. Wow, 2 posts in one day!!!! What is this world coming to. Oh, I know, I'm bored as heck at work.

2. My back is really killing me. I want to go home but we are short staffed today and the boss isn't too happy.

3. One more week until Thanksgiving!!!! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.....I know what you're thinking, "I'm sure it is, fat girl."

4. We got a new puppy, not sure if I have talked about her on here before. She is a Rhodesian Ridgeback / Black and Tan Coonhound mix. Her name is Mabel, she is adorable but WILD!!!

5. We still have a good way to go on the house. We have most of it sided, the back door and front door are hung, the windows are in, and the porch is poured. They still have to finish the windows and doors, build the awning on the porch, do the roof and finish the siding. And.....after all that's done they will start on the bathroom, you know the bathroom of which we only have one.....they better move on with it!!!!

6. B is getting so grown. Middle School has changed her. She doesn't act like she's 11, she acts like she's 17! What do I do????

7. Tomorrow is car wash day at work. We have some guys that come every other Friday and wash our cars. The last time they were supposed to come they didn't because their van broke down, so it has been a month since my car has been cleaned up. I know.....LAZY MUCH???? I am not a car washer, never have been, never will be.

8. Husband wanted homemade soup since he is sick, I don't make homemade soup. So his step-dad made him some, well since I hurt my back I decided to play that card and get some chili beans. How nice that he doesn't even really like me but he is making me some chili beans tomorrow.

9. Work is getting on my freakin nerves. I work with a lady that I have become very close with, but I believe she is two-faced. I don't want to be ugly to her, but it is getting on my nerves. If you don't want to be friends everyday then fine, but I don't want to be friends when she wants something. And she acts like she can't stand 2 other girls in the office but today they are best of friends......Hmmmm

10. I am making all sorts of goodies for Thanksgiving.....For church I am making Potato Salad and Butter Pecan Cake. For Husband's family I am making Turkey Cookies, Broccoli Caserole, and Carmel Candy Apple Cake (I am not making this, a lady that does cakes for my office is). For my daddy's I am making Turkey Cookies and Butter Pecan Cake. Yummo!!!!!

Holy Mother of......

 I have been back at eating good this week, well, except for the white fudge covered oreos I devoured last night. I just couldn't resist them. I had to run in Wal-Mart for some milk and Husband's medicine, and they had a big display of them. I walked on past the first time, but the second time I couldn't resisit ....they were screaming my name. Oh well, back at it today.

 This morning I hurt my back in the shower. Like, hurt it to the point that I can barely move. I couldn't even bend down to turn the water off, B had to come do it. I really don't want to go to the doctor for this, but I am in major pain. A lady I work with gave me an Ultram, I hope it works.

 I am so ready for the holidays, not prepared, just ready. I am never in the Christmas spirit this early, but for some reason this year I am. I am ready to put my Christmas tree up.....I know, I know.....it's too early. Hold onto your horses.....my house is being renovated so it is tore slap apart, so I won't be putting my tree up anytime soon. I probably won't get to put it up until December, normally I do it during the Clemson/Carolina game (the Saturday after Thanksgiving for those of you not from around here). We also want to do the Polar Express this year. It's a train ride in Bryson City, NC that takes you to the North Pole and Santa gives each child a silver bell just like from the story. B is getting a little old for it, but she said she wants to do it this year. Only problem, it's rather pricey and there is limited availability.

Back at it

 Today is my last radiation treatment!!! Halle freakin luiah!!!!! It actually has gone by pretty fast for me. So with today being my last day for treatment, it is also my first day to get back at it. They told me not to lose any weight while on radiation, so as of today, I'm back at eating good and exercising. This is going to be tough, seeing as how for 5 weeks I have stuffed my face with crap and sat on my couch watching TV. No more!!!!! I go back to my weight loss surgeon on the 28th and I would love to be out of the 230's, but I don't see that happening. I weighed 238 this morning, that sucks!!!! I actually gained a few pounds over these last few weeks. Oh Well, back at it, get those few pounds back off!!!!!

MIA...SOA...BRYA

I know I have been abscent from the blogger for a while.....SORRY.....I have been trying to read and stay on top of everybody's blogs, just not posting myself.

I have been so discouraged, y'all know I was told I can't lose any weight while on radiation and for a month after. So I have been holding steady. I guess that's a good thing, at least I'm not gaining.

I have a new addiction...............

SONS OF ANARCHY

Me and the husband have started watching it from Season 1 on Netflix and I cannot stop watching it. I am so in love with Jax Teller. I am starting season 3 tonight. This addiction is so bad that I can't stop thinking about it at work, I watch it online and then re-watch it with husband. I will be so sad when I'm done with the past seasons and have to wait for it to come on Tuesday nights.

Tonight is B's last football game with BRYA this year. It is going to be C.O.L.D. but I'm not complaining, I have been waiting on this cold weather since about April. They are doing a thriller half time show, so that's exciting!

Radiation

 Let me just say.....RADIATION SUCKS!!!!!!! I have to go Monday - Friday everyday for 5 weeks.

 Yesterday was my first of 25 treatments. I was scared to death and the only thing I was looking forward to is it being over.  It blew!!!!! I was so tired I could barely get out of bed, and I was sick. I couldn't eat but was vomitting, so we all know how that goes. Today my throat feels raw and I'm still tired. I hope I can make it. They said it shouldn't make me sick, but it's different for everyone. Also they told me yesterday not to lose ANY weight from now until at least a month after the treatments are over. WHAT???? If I can't eat and vomit how am I suppose to maintain my weight, and futhermore I don't want to maintain this weight. This morning I was 235lbs, I really wanted to be 200lbs by the end of this year. Now I feel defeated. I FREAKIN HATE RADIATION!!!!! And brain tumors for that matter. I know that all of this is part of God's plan for my life and that he already has it worked out and that I have to keep my faith in Him, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

 On a happier note, I couldn't be more proud of husband, he was ordained as a deacon Sunday night. He has come a very long way.

I'll Be up in the club just workin on my Fitness

 I have never heard that song before but Husband refers to it alot.

 I plan on getting back at it tomorrow. There were a few weekends when I got up early, before anybody else that lives in my house, and went for a walk/jog.....and I freakin loved it! I plan on starting that back up tomorrow morning. B will be at her Nana's and Husband will be at work, so I will be able to get up and go. I go 2.6 miles around my neighborhood, I know it's not far but it's good for me and I love it!!!!! I have been eating better this week too. I was 237lbs at my last adjustment and today I am....wait for it.....237lbs. Dang it!!!! I go back November 28th, so hopefully I will have lost some by then.....surely.

 I start radiation next Tuesday, I am still not happy about it, but it is what it is. I hope that I have energy to exercise during those 5 weeks. They told me I can't lose more thatn 10-15lbs, and I am going to try to lose just that!

 We are having our house remodeled and it is stressing me out!!!! Picking colors for the outside was hard enough, now we've decided to do our bathroom too, and I am having a heck of a time picking stuff for it.

Down n Out

 I haven't blogged in a week. I am sick. Sick of not seeing any movement on the scale, sick of feeling like a big fat blob, sick of still being able to fit into some of the clothes that I thought for sure would fall off of me by this point. Why, you ask isn't the scale moving......well......that's because I have been eating crap and not exercising. It sickens me that I have let myself do this. I haven't lost any weight in about 3 weeks, and I have done it to my self. Yes, I am having a pity party right now. I am sad about having to have radiation, so I have just not cared about much else. I know I have to get over it. I also had an unrealistic goal to lose 35lbs by Thanksgiving....NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. My radiation doc told me I cannot lose more than 10lbs during my treatment.

 What am I going to do about this???? Starting right now (because I just finished all the junk in my lunchbox) I am going to do better. So what if I have to have radiation, so many more people have it way worse than I do. No more Carmel Bugles..... no more Candy Corn M&Ms...... no more eating out for lunch...... no more junk!!!! I am going to start back walking (I haven't done that in at least 2 weeks) and I am going to try to do the 30 day shred. Even if I'm not supposed to lose more than 10lbs in 5 weeks, that's still 10lbs that I can lose! And I can get some exercise in and not feel like a big blob! And after my radiation is over I plan to join a gym. I still have 75-80lbs I want to lose. And I can't wait to HAVE to buy new blue jeans, I can still fit the old ones, although they are very lose and I have to wear a belt I don't want to be able to even put these on my body! I can do it....I hope. It scares me because you always have people that say, "oh, such n such had that surgery and it didn't work." I don't want to be that such n such.

 Ok, pity party over!
