Day 104: Best Day of The Week !

 




Time for a new mission statement. My goal for 2025 was to lose 100 pounds by 12-31-25 but I've failed miserably. At some point I need to pick myself up and try. A realistic goal at this point is 50 pounds by 12-31-25, so that is where I will start. When will I start ? I don't know .. do I need a "starting point" ? I don't. Every day that I don't "start" just adds to my misery. I plan to just take each day as it comes and do what I can to move closer to where I want to be. Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet.


Today is the best day of the week as it's rock & roll bingo night ! The alarm went off at 8 this morning and Minnie visited before it even went off, but I was too tired to get up. I slept another hour and was up around 9:20. I played my slot games too late, which I had said I wasn't going to do ! I had 3 strays waiting to eat this morning. The orange female, the old orange male and the friendly orange male. Once everyone was fed I had my breakfast and first cup of coffee. My Nutrisystem order didn't get delivered yesterday and arrived shortly after noon. As expected, the dry ice was completely gone but everything was still frozen, so I'm not going to complain to Nutrisystem. I'm getting a great deal on my food and I don't want to rock that boat. I even got an extra dessert item. Somebody miscounted and I will take an extra lemon zest cake any day ! I get 96 items per shipment for $244.11, which comes out to $2.54 each. I'm done buying "extra" food items and planning to buckle down HARD on getting the weight off. The junk I buy at Walmart is expensive and I need to stop. I have a ton of chicken bacon ranch quesadilla's so I plan to start eating those a lot once the hotdogs and pizza stuff is gone. I have the stuff to make one more pizza along with 7 or 8 hotdogs. I'm short one bun so one of my hotdogs will have to go commando ! I'm kicking myself for buying buns instead of bread. I actually prefer using bread for hotdogs so I don't know why I bought buns. Since I organized the freezer yesterday it was a lot easier to put everything away quickly today. 


It's 1:40 now and I'm going to have a quick lunch and then take my shower.

Here Comes The Snow !

  Day 2 of the new year ! Time to get back on track with diet and exercise. The goal is 100 pounds by 12-31-25. Can I do it ? Well, I won't know unless I try. I will be starting Nutrisystem again on Saturday 01-04-25. My original Day 2 blog can be found  here.  I don't like much of the tone of that particular entry. I'm at a point in my life where being the victim is not an option. Much of what has happened in my life is my own fault, other than getting leukemia. The dysfunctional marriage, my weight, my lack of exercise - all my fault. I should have sent Alex back to Italy after he showed up in Ohio, but I was desperate to have a boyfriend and be married. It wasn't all bad, but I caused a lot of heartache for myself and my family. He, in turn, caused a lot of heartache for his parents. When I first started Nutrisystem in 2019 my goals for that year were losing weight, getting fit and paying off my credit card debt. I also stated I would no longer go to the casino. In t...

Day 12: Already Over Winter

  Here we go ! It's a new year. Time to get back on track with diet and exercise. The goal is 100 pounds by 12-31-25. Can I do it ? Well, I won't know unless I try. My original Day 12 blog can be found  here . My original Day 12 was unremarkable as the plumbing issues were resolved and I went to work. I am all for a drama free day ! I woke up just before 9 and it's a chilly but snow free day ! It was 20 when I got up and the high for the day is only 25. At least it is not snowing ! There were no stray cats again today, so I just replenished the dry food. I can see they've been eating it, so hopefully it is sustaining them through this weather. Breakfast was 180 calorie Eggo waffles with sugar free syrup. I didn't have a yogurt, morning snack or afternoon snack. Lunch was pizza. Calories unknown and tomorrow will be the final slice ! Dinner was 220 calorie rotini with meatballs and a couple teaspoons of romano cheese. Evening snack will be a 140 calorie chocolate cup...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. Today is July 8th and I haven't written since July 1st. As if not writing is going to make a difference ! So what's been going on ? Not much. Spent July 4 at Rich & Barb's camp. It was a fun day. I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday sitting on my ass watching tv and playing the slots. It was super hot so I had zero motivation to do anything, but I did manage to get some laundry done yesterday. I finishe...
