partly due to tendonitis from a RSI (mouse elbow) which is a real pain.. partly being a little stress-monkey with work/parent worries and coming out of my annual winter blues. Figured I'd hop on and ramble a bit.
Couple things I've done today: weighed for the first time in a month- doing good- 151 and change 27% BF. I'm still aiming for about 145ish, and 25% but it will happen. The winter blues combined with some poor holiday out of control eating led to about 10 extra, but it's been coming off slowly without stressing, and my jeans fit.. so all in all, I'm happy. I find I do better not tracking/weighing. I still do obsess about the fact that if I ever could get the pannus and arm/thigh work done, I really would not need to drop anymore. I tend to get boney much below 145, but that darn belly flop bugs me.
I tried a keratin at home hair straightening treatment to tame my ever frizzy wavy hair. Seems pretty decent.. if it keeps me looking less like Rosana Rosana Dana I'll be happy. If not, I chop it all off again.
I'm really loving my new-to-me car, so that's a plus.. the last one tried to kill me twice and I vowed (and kept it) to never drive or ride in it again.
We are expecting storm number.. ??? this Sunday, 6-10". I am so over this, I may call in rather than get up at 4am and try to commute to work. Last time I did that it was nearly 2hrs.. and of course, nearly no one showed.
Still coughing up the green hamsters, but at least I don't feel crappy anymore. Learned Primatine pills and coffee turn me into superwoman for a while. I've had several URIs this year, the benefits of being around kids.. down-side, if I visit my foks (mom smokes nearly 3packs a day in a closed house) I can almost guarantee a trip to the dr the next day or two for breathing tx, and having a HDHP.. that's not something that makes me happy. So, I've been scarce with visits (which is good for the sanity too, as mom seems to be getting fairly mean-spirited of late, I think dementia/diabetes mental decline has really set it, either that or valium and alcohol (she's recently taken up bacardi & coke) and doesn't test her BS at all anymore.. and eats like crap.
No vacations planned, that needs to change.. but no real PTO for me, vs Todd, who has weeks a year. Ah well, unpaid is fine too if they let me.
Mardi Gras party if weather holds Sat, got a cool purple dress and high boots, should be a hoot, and if not- we skip out to a local place we like. Maybe i'll get some pix and post them, it's been a while for a PW boost.
Happy for the extra light, now we just need some warm weather damnit.

. I just approved you. Weird, it used to be completely open.
