Good Night, Sweet Dreams

No witty disjoiners today. Im doing well to get my food intake on here.



Of course, it is Saturday. My day of weird eating patterns.


I got up at 9:30 and drank however much around an inch of Dr Pepper out of a 20 oz bottle is that was left from last night. Then around 11, I cooked DH some breakfast....I cooked 4 pieces of sausage and a can of 5 biscuits...he ate all the sausage and 4 of the biscuits. I ate the 5th one with a little butter and honey.

I met my sister around 5 at the Mighty Dollar(a locally owned Dollar Tree type store) and we shopped with 4 kids....ages 15, 10, 7 and 5. OMG, I think from now on they will lock the doors when they see us coming. After that experience, I took my two(15 and 5) and went to WalMart(yes, again) and bought food. We came home and I grilled steak, warmed up frozen twice baked potatoes, tossed a little salad and toasted some garlic ciabatta bread. I ate most of my steak, a nice salad, picked at the twice baked potato and picked at the bread. I had a 20 0z Pepsi, too. Later I had a small piece of choclate fudge cake........OMG it was rich, wont do that again. Ewwwwwwww....now, I am working on my last 12 oz of Dr Pepper of the day before bed.

Night All!

Friday, Friday, Its Friday

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!!! YAY!!!!

Whew, long week! Today wasnt "bad" but I am worn out anyway. Miss 5 yr old is at my parents house so I get to sleep til I wake up, not when the sun comes up.


Today:
Breakfast at Sonic:Large Dr Pepper(imagine that) with ez ice.(as usual, about a third gone)BEC burrito with 5 tots inside

Lunch:Chicken club sandwich with a medium fry and medium sweet tea from Wendys. I eat pretty much all of it. I also got a M&M Twisted Frosty, but only ate one bite. It was the NASTIEST thing I have had in my mouth in a while. YUCK!


Supper: Met my parents and had supper with them at a local buffet. I had some green beans, some whole kernel corn, some catfish, a yeast roll and a chicken breast. I also had a Coke.


After supper we went to Walmart and walked around for an hour. I hate walmart, but it is pretty much the only thing around here local.

OMG! Friday, WHERE ARE YOU?

What a week! I found out today that the checking account I rarely use is overdrawn. I knew it was close, but apparently I transposed a 7 and a 1 and went over a touch. I cant even get there to make a deposit until Sunday. My car payment comes out of it so I HAVE to get it over before the 30th. That will be direct deposited before then, but if it is still under when the car payment goes in, it will get UGLY. I love my Jeep and I do NOT aim to jeopardize it in any way, shape, form or fashion. If I can muddle through til June/July, things will be looking up, money wise.

The weather here is BEAUTIFUL lately. I went outside with Miss 5 yr old and she played and played. I finally got cool, but she never slowed down enough to feel the chill. Oh, to be young and stupid again....(said with tongue firmly in my cheek)


Ok, today's food.




Breakfast at Sonic:Large Dr Pepper(imagine that) with ez ice.(I drank about 1/3 of it today)BEC burrito with 5 tots inside


Lunch: Frozen Di Giorno pizza for one, handful of chips and a 16.9 oz Dr pepper.


Supper: 2 pieces of a medium Pizza Hut thin crust cheese pizza and one piece of a large beef and onion Pan Pizza. Still working on the 20 oz Dr Pepper from then.

Snacks: 5-6 soft peppermint puffs.

Phew! Long day yesterday makes for a rough day at work today. It doesnt help that I had to change our email hosts today. Of course there is lag time while the new routes to the new host are made, but that doesnt stop people from freaking out because they dont have 15 new emails every time they open outlook. I swear, it is a good thing my boss doesnt have to pay for an IT person, even part time. He thinks he is paying me too much, but if he had to add an IT person, he would REALLY freak out over payroll.


Ok, today....

Breakfast at Sonic:Large Dr Pepper(imagine that) with ez ice.(I dont normally drink but about half of it, but the medium is alllllll ice)
BEC burrito with 5 tots inside

Lunch:(didnt cook last night, so no leftovers)Chicken club sandwich with a medium fry and medium sweet tea from Wendys. No, I didnt drink all of the tea. I also threw away about half of the fries.


Supper: Salad(bagged field greens, bacon bits, cheddar cheese and a few croutons+ tomato and bacon dressing), baked potato with two pats of butter salt & pepper, 4 bites of Shells & Cheddar. 20 oz Dr Pepper.(bet you were wondering how I was living without that today, huh?)

I bought a rotisserie chicken for supper, but I personally think it needs to be cooked longer. I put it in the fridge and will bake it some more tomorrow evening.


snacks...5-6 of those lovely soft "peppermint puffs" scattered throughout the day.


Ugh! I need to add some exercise into my day, but getting to work and home is about all I can stand right now.

Tuesday, 3-17-09

Phew! 12 hours spent(mainly) in the car today. Miss 5 yr old's allergy doctor visit went GREAT. She is down to one shot a week and when school is out, he wants her to go down to one every other week. Then, next year we will go to one every 4 weeks and will stay there for 3-4 years, then down to NONE! Im not sure who will be more thrilled, me or her.


But, on that note, I am worn smack out so not much rambling.


Todays food....

Breakfast:

2 eggs, scrambled, with a couple of teaspoons of milk gravy
3 pieces of bacon
2 pieces of toast
1 1/2 glasses of Coke

lunch(supper?):

1 medium roast beef sanbwich from Arby's
1 medium Arby's curly fry
1 medium Dr Pepper

Snacks(sorta):

Ok, Monday. LOVE my job. LOVE it. I mean, seriously, who DOESNT love their job? If you dont love it, why do you work there? Oh yeah, MONEY.

In our employee handbook it states that we are to get evaluations every 6 months and at each 12 month evaluation, we will have a pay review. Now, lets see, how long since I have had an evaluation? Hmmmm......... Well, it was the first week of August in 2006. So thats been 2 years....... (counting on fingers)....and.........7 months. With no evaluation in sight. Ive asked for one. Even for one WITHOUT a pay review...they keep saying "OH, I will, but we are soooo busy right now." And a raise is more than obviously out of the question, near as I can tell. Bah..........and they wonder why I have "attitude issues".


Ok, todays food intake.

Breakfast at Sonic:
Large Dr Pepper(imagine that) with ez ice.(I dont normally drink but about half of it, but the medium is alllllll ice)
BEC burrito with 5 tots inside

Lunch:(didnt cook last night, so no leftovers)
Chicken club sandwich with a medium fry and medium sweet tea from Wendys. No, I dont drink all of the tea. Well, usually I dont. Today I took about 1/3 of the cup to my 5 yr old(Mondays are allergy shot days, so it was a special treat.

snacks...5-6 of those lovely soft "peppermint puffs" scattered throughout the day.

Supper: Stew Beef cubes and gravy over rice. 2 cans of diet Sierra Mist

Now I am drinking a Sams Cola(full octane) while I wash the last load of clothes for the day. I am also wishing I didnt eat so much beef and rice. UGH!


Tomorrow looks to be FUN...Headed 3 hours away to the city where Miss 5 year old's allergist is. Wouldnt be such a horrible thing, but Dh decided on the spur of the moment to take off work and tag along. I will explain more about that tomorrow.

Today is Sunday. On Sundays we go to my parents house for dinner. Because of this, I dont eat breakfast, as a rule.

Lets see, today I had:

20 oz Dr Pepper
3 Sour Gummy Worms
3 cans of Diet Sierra Mist
Baked Chicken
Mashed potatoes
gravy
dressing
green beans
2 rolls
a sugar free ice cream bar
handful of M&Ms
3 Honey Wheat pretezels
4 more sour gummi worms
a can of dr pepper
1/5 of an Uno 12" pizza


I had a touch of drama tonight. My 5 yr old cut the snot out of her foot and bled everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE...to the point I was #1. trying to figure out how to get her to the ER without dripping blood in my Jeep and #2. Praying Grissom didnt show up and decide I had killed someone with an axe or someting. It was rediculous. My sarcasm made it worse when DH kept fussing at her about not having shoes on in the house(I think he was raised wrong or something. Who wears shoes of some kind 99.9% of the time they are awake?) and I told him to shut up until we knew her foot wasnt going to fall off or anything. Yeah, THAT calmed the drama queen down. I finally got the bleeding stopped and couldnt find any glass in it, so HOPEFULLY we will be ok. If it gives her trouble tomorrow, at least it is (allergy)shot day so we will be at the pediatricians office and they will work us in if I ask. I finally got a bandaid to stick and had him throw a towel on the blood pools. Nothing else, it will give Grissom pause.

Ok, Im back. The benefit wasnt horrible, per se, but it was sad. There were so few people there, I just hope they broke even. I gave my $23.50 to the cause and that is that. ($20 rafle tix and $3.50 for drink and nachos)


Lets see, what did I eat today? I will start from when I got up and go up to now.


1/2 can Dr Pepper
30 Goldfish crackers
5 Samoas
2 McDonalds French Fries(OMG! 5 yr old had a Happy Meal and I LOVE those fries)
5 bites of cheese off the top of the lasagna I cooked for DH
1/2 piece ciabatta/garlic/cheese bread
10 tortilla chips with Ro-Tel dip
1 can Dr Pepper
3 BBQ Boneless wings from Zaxbys with ranch dressing
Zaxbys Club basket(Chicken club sandwich, french fries with extra seasoning, and a dill spear)
Medium Coke with a half refill
1 can Dr Pepper

Thats it for Saturday. I guess you can see I have issues with Dr Pepper.

Ok, I lied. I had 5 Samoas....Mmmmmm, Samoas....I love those things...There is a reason God only lets Girl Scout Cookies be sold once a year...So I dont have my own show on Discovery or TLC titled "THE BIGGEST BUTT IN THE WORLD".

Day 1- March 14, 2009-Introduction

*DISCLAIMER* I know how to use punctuation, but after many years online with instant messengers and on message boards, just count yourself lucky I am not using texting shortcuts. U no?


My name is Christy. I weigh around 350 lbs, give or take....Honestly, giving would be your best bet. I cant imagine I weigh any less. I am 40, married, mom to 3 children....ages 20, 15 and 5. I used to stay right at 260 or so and did for YEARS until I got laid off.(THANKS NAFTA)....over the last 8 years or so, I gained close to 100 lbs. That isnt but 10-14 lbs a year, but darn if it doesnt add up....and FAST.


A week or so ago I was mesmerized by the shows "Half Ton Mom", "Half Ton Dad", and "Half Ton Teen". I kept thinking, over and over, that THAT COULD BE ME. EASILY. I mean really, now. If I broke my leg and was no longer able to get up and about, Im sure I would gain weight...and in a hurry, too.


I am considering weight loss surgery, but since I cant seem to remember it long enough to check my insurance website and find a doctor to get the ball rolling, I guess Im considering being fat forever even more.


I heard a doctor on Half Ton Teen say that these hugely obese people always come in and say the same thing "I dont eat that much". Well, they eat SOMETHING or they wouldnt be fat. I dont consider myself eating "that much", especially in comparison to my husband, but apparently I am a vacuum cleaner, sucking it in......


Therefore, I am starting this blog. My plan is to post exactly what I eat. Surely to goodness, if I see what it is that I am eating, and the quantities, I will see that I have been fooling myself.


Well, that is the hope, anyway.


Today? Well, it is 2:27 pm and so far I have had a 1/2 can of Dr. Pepper(my main weakness and dont tell me Diet Dr Pepper tastes just like Regular Dr Pepper, its a dirty DIRTY LIE!) and 30 Goldfish crackers.

I am getting hungry, but I am leaving in 2 hours to go to a benefit to help pay for my sister's ex's funeral expenses. Woohoo!(ok, that is a sarcastic woohoo) Redneck food and sober Karaoke!(Yeah, you got me, sarcasm again). Seriously, I am not sorry he is dead. I am sorry his momma had to pay to put him away and I do not mind giving $10 or so to help out. She is a good woman. I aim to pay(ie: donate) and then my sister and I will be going somewhere else to "eat". Call me a food snob, but cold Domino's pizza doesnt make me happy.


Ok, 5 Girl Scout Do-Si-Dos and a cup of milk, and I am good to go till tonight.


Guess I will post more when I get home tonight. Im sure I will have had something to eat by then.
