Falling Apart

I am beginning to think that I am falling apart physically. I am still having quite a bit of pain from the car accident. My chest has been hurting especially badly the last few days. I have been gaining weight back that I was losing and that is especially annoying. But I can't even do sit-ups because it hurts so badly. Then today my ear has been hurting whenever I yawn so I am hoping I am not getting an ear infection. No such thing as growing out of those for me. But I am going to be going to see my doc on Monday so hopefully he can get me straightened out. I am not looking forward to the possibility of another MRI but if that is what has to be done, well I will do it.

Work has been super busy this week, and I have already billed 19 hours this week and it's only Wednesday! But I feel like I am doing my part so that is a good thing. The whole office went up to a conference last week and while the conference wasn't that informative, it was fun to go up with everyone. I am blessed to work with wonderful people.

So I am going to relax now and chill out now.

Random Ramblings

I have managed to contract a sore throat somehow. It sucks and hurts to swallow. Then yesterday afternoon my stomach was killing me. I decided to go ahead and go to the gym and give it a shot. I guess that was a bad idea because about half way through I started to feel light-headed and feeling like I was going to throw up. I think everyone thought the exercising part was too hard for me. It wasn't that - it was the constant moving around of my already upset stomach. So I sat down for the second half of the workout. I finally felt better around the time to leave and managed to drive home. So I have the rest of the week off from the gym because they are going to be closed. I still plan on getting on the treadmill at home and doing my crunches. We are supposed to be up to 400 this week. I know that I have lost several inches because my clothese are fitting loosely now. It's wierd but very welcome.

I lost 1.6lbs this week. So I am down a total of about 17.2 lbs. I am getting close to my 10% weight loss - only about 8 more pounds to go. I have two thanksgiving dinners to get through this week. I have come so far though that I have no fear of messing it up. I am really looking forward to getting out all the Christmas decorations. I have a really good portion of my Christmas shopping done.

Sunday was my and Steve's two year anniversary of being together. It's hard to believe that we have only been together for two years (my longest relationship yet! :) ) and have already been married for a little over a year. We did get married after we had been together for like ten months though, lol. I have never been so happy in my entire life. He is an incredibly wonderful man and I fall more and more in love with him every day. We are going to the Madrigal dinner at Eureka in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to a weekend away with him - alone!!

We went to see Twilight on Saturday. I had my reservations because I really don't like fantasy-type stuff. However, I really enjoyed the movie and would like to see it again soon. I read the book on Sunday night in one sitting. I have to get the other three books now but the Walmart here is out of them. No big surprise because of how popular it has been. I lent the book to my friend Mandee and told her that we should go and watch it after she gets done reading it. I am glad it is doing as well as it has despite being a "low budget" movie. I like seeing the bigger movie production companies put in their place occasionally.

I also quit biting my fingernails. I have been doing good for about three weeks now so I just have to keep it up. I figured that if I was breaking other bad habits that I should break that one too. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.

I am getting my hair done tonight. I am not sure what to do with it. I like that it is longer now but it seems kind of a boring brown color. The red low lights that I got done the last time didn't seem to last that long. It has only been two months and they are completely gone I think. It seems like red always washes out faster. So I will probably do something else tonight, I just don't know what. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my longer hair so I think I shall leave it long for now. It's warmer in the winter anyways.

So this has been a slightly random post but I think I got everything important in it. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Busy weekend!

To start out, weight loss this week is only about 0.4lbs but I will take it. I am now down to the weight that I was for many years. I just have to get the number to go down from here and I will be doing well. My total weight loss is 8lbs. It may not seem like much, but when you think about what 8lbs of something looks like (I always think of 8 one lb packages of ground beef), it's a lot. I need to buckle down a bit more this week to see a bigger change.

In other news: we got an aquarium this weekend for the outside goldfish. It's a 55 gal. and it came with the stand and everything. We got it from a lady selling it in the paper. We only paid $150 for it, so I didn't think that was bad. We also turned in the paperwork for the dog at the shelter. Hopefully they will call this week and we can maybe pick her up this weekend. I am looking forward to having a walking buddy.

I have managed to contract some kind of cold. My throat is killing me, my tonsils are swollen huge, I have a cough, my sinuses hurt and are draining, and my head feels like it is going to explode. I haven't decided whether or not to call the doc. I would like to go just to show him that I am losing weight, lol. Anyways, I think that is it for today.
