So Wed I ran around and spent time with my mom. My mom is handicapped and I do all of the work for her. I shop for her and take her to her Dr. Appointments. Sometimes I forget that it's fun to spend time with her because almost all the interaction I had with her is taking care of her. I'm really sad that I lost sight of that. Well Wed I actually got to spend time with her, We had dinner (she had chinese and I had a low point sub from subway!) We watched my life in ruins which was much better than I was expecting. I made some Halloween cards and we talked a lot. It was a really good night and I want to make sure to repeat it.

A leave of absence
I know I stopped posting. I'm mad at myself for it actually. Since I stopped posting on Blogger I've done so much worse. I've continued to lose but less than a pound a week. Since I've stopped showing people I didn't have to be as good. Well that stops. I'm going to post and I'm going to share my ups and downs because that helps me to stay on track and I want this. So I'm back baby!

Monday was an interesting day. I woke up super early at 9 am (we are a second shift house hold) for a meeting and the person didn't show. The meeting was at Denny's. I got a horrible sandwich worth 33 points, but I only at a 1/4 of the sandwich. Then I went for lunch at Chili's with Ruby and a middle school friend, Jenny with her 18 month old.
Then Ruby and I took her cousin to Walmart. We hit the bathroom, and while I was waiting for her the female security guard came in with a male cop. The cop knocked on a stall door which swung open. The cop said "What are you doing in here?" They pulled a black man off the john (pants up thankfully) and they started yelling "where is it?" They reached in and said "watch out there's an open blade" at that moment I stepped into the handicap stall and told Ruby that perhaps she shouldn't come out. She asked "is it that bad?" I said, "yes" Apparently the man was shooting up in the Ladies room. The security guards told us that we could leave. They had the guy against the stall. I saw the knife in one of their hands and a needle and drugs on the counter. When we left I was really shaken. I wanted to just get out. By the time we left Walmart I wanted to eat anything fatty. I wanted pizza and subs and chicken nuggets and fries. I always react in the extreme in situations like this. Stuff involving cops or loud voices or sudden movement. It's a problem that I have from when I was working at the harbor and a friend who owned the store next door was attacked by her husband. My heart starts to race and I can't calm down. But I didn't give in. I didn't binge to settle my nerves. I even ended short on my points.

Day 33
So yesterday I had a party at the Renfest after it closed. I went in early with the lovely Ashley as my assistant. I had a lot of fun. Ashley ordered a corset. I bought an early birthday present for my husband. Ashley got herself a beautiful leather bound book and a date. She is nervous though. She's a doll. The party went ok till some roudy drunken people showed up. It wasn't a huge problem but it did make them hard to control. Some ladies left early and I had to pause the party to take care of them but Ashley was fantastic and did a "Care and feeding of your toys" segment for me. But cause we were running around food choices weren't the super best.

So my Ruby's brother got a job at a new Chili's. Friday they were doing a training day and we got an invitation. There were 4 limited menus and only one person could order off of each. Now I got the one covered in chicken fingers. I resisted the siren song of breaded chicken and went for not the guiltless chicken but a happy medium of their Monteray Chicken. OMG so nummy! I ate half and saved half for my hubs. It came with super awesome mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. The veggies did have butter though. We also had salsa and chips and had to split a trio of dessert shots. I did well for me.

Ashley has made this awesome awesome pumpkin spice cake. Only 5 points for a huge slice. It was so nummy. Yesterday was a day of frustration for me. My mother was in a very bad car accident about 15 years ago. I've always had a hard time with it. I was very small and my mom worked nights. I was only about 10 years old and before she left we got in a fight and I told my mom "I hate you!" I woke up in the middle of the night to my mom's best friend there and my dad was gone. She had been in a car accident. I remember crying and crying thinking that it was my fault that my mom was hurt.
Anyway I now take care of my mom. (My parents got divorced in the intervening years.) So I was running around for her yesterday and I dealt with the most pointless ATT store ever created ever. Seriousy they don't take cash. They don't know anything. They couldn't tell me that you can only upgraded phones online now. They didn't know. They sent me to another store all the way out in Columbia. Good thing I called first! Then I had to switch the info on my mom's old phone to her new one and activate the new one. The woman told me they didn't have any of the computer programs that were needed. When I got to the Columbia store the guy showed me paperwork I had in the box (That my mom didn't tell me about and I didn't notice) that told you how to do it. No computers, no anything but switching sim cards! I do admit I felt kinda stupid but they told me that it was understandable I missed it since it wasn't my phone.
To activate it it was a simple phone call.
Just grrrrr grrrrr stomp stomp.

Monday I went back to the gym but I'm still not really over being sick so my chest felt like it had gone all cold and was going to burst. So I stopped. I haven't been back yet. Blargh. That and I got personally attacked in a business email. I do Slumber Parties which is a lotion and lingerie and adult novelties in home party system. Part of the company policy is no men at the parties. Part of this is business and part of this is legal but regardless that's the rules. So I reminded a woman who wanted to have a party that no men should be present and then she jumped down my throat.
"You SHOULD keep in mind, we are talking GSLBT guys, and GSLBT gals . . .

Today was the weigh in... dum dum dum. I lost 4.8 pounds bringing me down to 258.2! I'm super excited.
Ok so I have a problem. It's a food problem. I'm pretty sure that some of you might be able to guess it's a pizza problem. A friend of ours invited us out for breakfast/lunch and suggested Cici's the all you can eat pizza buffet. Josh told him that perhaps on our current diet it wasn't a good idea.
So we went some where else with him. In the afternoon we had game plans with a new role playing group (see I told you I was a super geek!) I was nervous but had a lot of fun. In the end we all ended up at Cici's. I didn't do anywhere nearly as bad as I was afraid of. I had 6 small slices over the course of an hour. I know that sounds bad but in a normal day it woul be 6 slices per plate stacked high on the plate literally one on top of another. It's a bad bad thing for me. I made sure I put only one piece on the plate at a time. I ate a salad with light ranch first. I tried really hard. I only tipped into my weekly points a little. It's a small victory but for me a victory.

Saturday was a hard day for me. I went out to the renaissance festival and realized just how much I missed it. Let me give some background. My father is one of three original vendors left from the first year of fair. I was literally out there in utero. There isn't a year of my life I haven't been out there. I can't actually say when I started working out there because I've just always been there. Well my father is getting up in age and my brother isn't interested. It's just been a matter of course that I'll take over the family business. Well things have changed for me. I got married two years ago. That changes stuff. Well so before I dedicate the rest of my life to something I decided I wanted a chance to see what life was like outside of faire. I still haven't made a descision. bah.

Day 23
Well Ruby cooked dinner again last night because I felt like poo still. My husband has finally caught the plague as well. He stayed home from work as well. I told him to take a day to rest as opposed to working his plague into full thrown bleh. For a little FYI about me, I lovelovelove Halloween. I am a direct sales consultant for an adult romance company called Slumber Parties, I have 5 cats and I grew up at the MD ren fest. Why are these important? Because I'm going to list some non scale goals!
*I want to have room on my bed for my cats, my husband and me
*I want to be able to dress up as a fantastic Jessica Rabbit
*I want to go to an amusement park and not stress and fear about getting on rides and OMG will I fit?
*I want to be able to buy whatever halloween costume I want. Not just something that comes in size super fat
* I want to wake up without feeling like my back is trying to murder me
*I want to be able to demo the swing that my company sells. (400 lbs without spring 200 lbs with spring)
*I want to put on my favorite jeans and be slightly sad because I will never be able to wear them again
*I want to be able to walk into a normal clothes store and buy something other than jewelry and socks
yeah so those are just some of them
I tried very hard to get all my points in because I haven't been eating as much while sick, so I went a bit fatty.
