Totaled Car

I know this has nothing to do with weight loss...btw I have lost 10 lbs ! Anyways, I was driving on 59N when I rear ended someone...air bags deployed...the smell of nitrogen in my nostrils. My car is gone...my beloved ugly ass rusting cavalier is history. You never realize how much you really miss something until it's gone. I had an awesome radio in that car...it was AWESOME. My father installed it and it meant a lot to me.

In the next few days my father is installing a nice radio and amp in my room , so I think that is really sweet. I love my dad, I am the child of his who makes him feel young...and not just because I am the youngest, but because I take interest in the hobbies he grew up liking...like stereos and amps, and speakers, music...that kind of stuff. I ask him about them and I think it really means a lot that I take interest into something he truly enjoys.

Anyways about the wreck...I got a ticket...yep. Found out the make and model of my car in FAIR condition is worth $625...damn. I felt not so much myself today...kind of sick. I could not eat. I keep finding spots on my body that are slightly injured. My neck for example...I had a necklace on and the clasp is indented into my neck right now. My chest feels like it has been slugged by a grown man. My right hip feels like I just bumped into something sharp...which probably happened after the wreck ha. But you know what...it could be A LOT worse. What if I didn't have my seat belt on...or if someone in the car in front of me flew out of the windshield. I am truly grateful that my car is dead instead of me or someone else.

New Challenge

I have noticed that almost everyday I eat almost all of my points before 1 pm. Based on my weight and height I am allowed to have 24 points a day. It's 2:00PM and I have 7 points left. I knew I should not have eaten almost the entire container of fat free (I mean laxative coated) pringles. Still the portobella mushroom tacos are getting me through the day because a massive burrito sized one is only 3 points.

I also have about 3 liters of water left to drink too...I got a new crystal lite flavor to drink too--Raspberry Lemonade. Sure beats the peach tea flavor and the caffeinated citrus burst flavor.

I weighed in today and I had lost 2.2 lbs since my last weigh in. Which makes my total weight loss at 9.6 lbs...another .4 lbs and OBVIOUSLY it will be a total of 10 lbs...which is equivalent to 8 medium cantaloupes.

I'm on my way

From my last post I had mentioned my weight gain and I just wanted to update and say I have lost a total of 8 lbs since then...I guess it was water weight ! I made these awesome portobella mushroom fajitas with whole wheat tortillas and they are becoming a part of my everyday food intake. They are amazing...if anyone wants the recipe I can share it...it's super easy and really good.

There is a biggest loser contest at my work coming up...we are having the initial weigh in in 3 days and then for 60 days we start the contest...whoever loses the most weight gets $300...and I guarantee I will win... I will keep yall updated on that.

I have off from work tomorrow so I plan on jogging a bit and working out for about 3-4 hours on and off all day. I will tell everyone how it goes...

Gaining weight

I started weight watchers about a week ago and have been gaining weight since I started. I know it works though. I have been drinking more water than it tells me to.I have drinking about 12 cups a day instead of 8 cups.

I think I know why I have been gaining weight though...I need will power when I go out with my skinny friends. I am supposed to go out with one of my friends tonight and I don't think I want to, but at the same time I think I need to in order to increase my will power when I am with my friends.

I also need to stay away from the kitchen when I get home at night.
