YUP Tried this ...

I needed a giggle today and saw this on Pinterest these cards by someecards which crack me up.  I so have been there done that.   AND now I'm paying for it with sweat and uncomfortable walking shoes and shorts ... ok they are uncomfortable until I tell my butt to get up of the chair and do the exercise that is when my brain goes to the dark side.  And that dark side has   Darth Vader breathing funny too ... oh wait that would be me too after doing said exercise ... lol

Survived Day One of Temptation

Temptation: 0 , Willpower: 1 ... Day one of working from my parents house and I stuck to my diet.  My parents house is a diabetics nightmare along with every dieters dream if you want to fall off the sugar wagon!  I stuck strong, brought my own lunch and stayed locked in my dad's office to avoid any temptation.  Except I did have to walk by the M&M bowl that I swear called my name every time I walked to the bathroom.  I gave it the bird and kept walking ... hey I said I avoided temptation not mastering grace in the face of it! LOL.  So you ask what can be so hard to avoid let me take you threw their house!

This is what is on the countertop!!

YUP this is bowl that eyeballed me!

Next to the sugar substitute I can have Raw Sugar

I so wanted to dip my finger in it!

Then I saw the cookies!  

Someone was out to get me!

And my lunch!

YUP I stuck to my chicken in a bag, which is actually very good! And rushed out to pick up the boys to come home for a nice pork chop and broccoli!  The boys of course included rice and cheese but I was good once again.  Soon I will be back to the world of small portions and eating healthier but until that day the scale is my friend I will stick strong.  41 lbs down!

I worked most of the day, helping dad when he needed his pills, ice pack, lunch etc.  Rick came up put dad in the wheelchair so he could go outside and get a little air.  He is going stir crazy and he really enjoyed heading out of the house for a few minutes.

Pulled in Every Direction ...

I found some great cartoons of how I felt today! Thankfully I still have a job and I think we got most of the proposal done. Between running around meeting in between meetings to finish this project up and answer the phones (which kept ring and getting me off track). No wonder I haven't finished my own work I've been catching the phones for the last few weeks. I'm so bad it takes me forever to get my mind back into what I was doing. As soon as I'm back into it the darn thing rings again ... UGH. I so DON'T miss being a receptionist, well I guess if that was my only job then it would be too bad but trying to do my job and that job is a little frustrating. Especially when I get my butt in a sling for not completing my job. Oh boy ok I have my mind now back on track, well as much as a mom of 2 +1 can be. You know between working full time, plus part time, cooking, cleaning, shopping and oh yeah school functions. Speaking of wish I need to iron Cole's Clothes for his concert tomorrow night. Yup it's GREAT being a mom, the lowest paid job except you do get paid with hugs and the occasional kiss. Oh the great comment "Mom you butt is HUGE, mine is small" oh yeah thanks Cole. I guess I really need to go on a diet, geez!

So do you think running around like your head's cut off can burn enough calories in a few pieces of chocolate? Ok it might have been a little more then that, but hey I missed breakfast and I eat when I'm stressed. Is it ok to be jealous of your best friend who is going to be working out 4 times a week like you use to, but now have no time between picking up and dropping off 3 kids each day? LOL oh the joys of being a busy mom, I can't wait for nice weather again we'll be walking each day at a park. And if I hear I'm bored someone will be sitting in the car! Ok enough rant I think I maybe be going over the deep in or at least putting my head in the freezer looking for that tub of ice cream I know I hid in there ha-ha!

Ok I'm not really political, but this is the only cartoon pic I could find of being pulled into every direction. Yup this is how I felt today!

This is me almost everyday!

What will be the way the sign swings today?
Oh yeah that is so me, red bow and all ... ha-ha
