A Skinny Journey...

[candy]

I'm glad you had the sense to go home after the visit.
Soup queen here you come! It kinda sucks that it's cold up there, but it's better to drink hot soup on cold days for the comfort, rather than drink hot soup on a boiling summer day, not to comfy.

Keep it up girl! You're doing great!

[Skinny_Chick]

Exactly cold is good for the weight loss for me. If I doesn't involve boiling water in the cold weather I don't usually eat it. Soup, tea, coffee, hot cocoa yes. That's usually about it though.

Food story for the day.....

*Aquafina* x 4 bottles lol 0 calories (2 liters lol, I'm 99.5% water again!)

Sugar Free Red Bull 10 calories
3 oz of Roasted Tomato pasta 50 calories (I'm loving the gourmet deli down the street)

Yea, my 60 calorie day. I'll keep it under 200 for the day. Back to work, nearing the end of another day *Skinny* dinner time!

[Skinny_Chick]

Ok seriously... I'm completely annoyed.

The bright side first...

Dinner Chicken Noodle Soup 100 calories

Total for today 160, might have Jello or something before I go to bed. We'll see.

As far as the completely annoyed part. I went and got some stuff done after work. That would be why I'm having dinner at 10:45 pm lol. Well, I come home to a bunch of missed calls and voicemails. Now, if these calls were really important for me the callers would have my cell phone too. Come to find out ALL the calls are for ex. Apparently when the cable, phone, and internet got switched to my house (they had to change the phone number) when you call the old number it automatically gives you the new number. Which sucks for me, because ex used the old phone number too. So, come to find out 1 of the calls was someone offering him a job (HOLY COW! He has barely worked in the last 6 weeks with no money to show and currently no job... the job he was offered before he quit his job last weekend fell through after he quit. OBVIOUSLY I'M NICE ENOUGH TO SAVE THAT PHONE NUMBER FOR HIM) Well the other 2 calls are a different story... See Below.... for the fill in on this one.

*Keep in mind here that ex's car payment is 4 months behind. At $350 a month. Yea he's an idiot. Well a month ago they called and struck a deal with him (keep in mind he owes them over $1200). They told him that they would take the 3 payments he missed and attach them to the back of his loan if he paid them an interest payment of $177 (that's a hell of a deal when you are sinking financially). Well according to these calls the bank didn't honor the payment (he gave them his account info for an account he doesn't use there never was money in it to pay the payment) BUT THE KICKER IS THAT HE DID HAVE THE CASH TO SEND TO THEM HE JUST DIDN'T!!. So now they call and and leave messages on my voicemail and at my work when they're actually looking for him. "it is urgent that you contact us immediately if you wish to continue a financial relationship with our company" yada yada. Gee does anyone else notice a family pattern here?? I should kill him but he's not worth my energy right now and I'm tired and I have to work in the morning. So, I go back to work tomorrow and have to explain to my boss that they aren't looking for me. I make sure of that. I just have to wonder when the nightmare with him is going to end *

So, i think I'm having Jello 10 calories and going to bed. *Skinny* Dreams

Total for the day 170 calories. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as successful.

[Skinny_Chick]

Feeling alright this morning A little tired but I'll be ok after a Red Bull. The scale says... 153.5 wtf? More soup today We'll see if anything happens by the end of the week. It better. Simple as that.

Sugar Free Red Bull (10)

More later, I'm not ready for work yet. *Thin* Thursday!

[Skinny_Chick]

Tired, stressed out. Totally going home later and doing NOTHING. Have to get up early to meet my cousin tomorrow. Seriously, I can't make ex go away. He keeps calling me, complaining, whining. making me nuts in general. He's meeting with someone for a job this morning. He says that the guy wants him gone on the road 12 days at a time. He also says that if the guy won't give him his weekends off he'll turn down the job. Thank god I'm not permanently financially attached to him. His problems are his, this weekend hopefully I'll actually be home when the finance company for his car calls looking for him. That way I can tell them that a) he's not at my phone number and b) he can't pay them, he won't talk to them so maybe they should just do whatever they need to do with that situation.

Breakfast
25 Reeses Pieces 100 calories
Sugar Free Red Bull 10 calories.

I'll be back later. *Skinny* Friday!!

[Skinny_Chick]

I totally think I need to be saved from myself and my stupidity sometimes. Got talked into spending the weekend at ex's house, by a 4 year old. His nephew's birthday party was yesterday. And all he wanted as he said was for me to stay so I'd be there. Yea, it's really hard to turn down a 4 year old. So, I got sucked into the whole thing. Yea great. Well, the house is trashed... his cousin actually owns it, and his cousin told him that he didn't care if crazy family moved in as long as the house didn't get destroyed. The towel bar in the bathroom is pulled completely out of the drywall (it's that textured drywall the kind that's really hard to fix when it's peeling with a huge pair of holes in it), because one of the kids was hanging on it WHAT? yes swinging on it like a jungle gym. There's stuff EVERYWHERE, its a total nightmare.

The scale is stuck at 153 , I'm eating alot of soup, but the cake obviously didn't help yesterday. And when I'm at ex's I can't purge either. I'm going home tonight. By myself so I can do my own thing in peace. I for the most part do well when I'm by myself, just not so well when ex is around. Working on it though.

Breakfast
*Aquafina* 20oz bottle 0 calories
Sugar Free Red Bull 10 calories

I'll shoot for a good rest of the day. *Skinny* Monday morning to you all!

[Skinny_Chick]

Not a bad day overall. It's almost over too Good news finally. Ex got a job offer this morning from a major trucking company. He's leaving Monday. Which means he'll be leaving me alone finally. I'm making zero progress while he's around. And it's really irritating me, meaning I'm not a very nice person to be around lately.

A good food day over all.

Diet Root Beer 0 calories.
*Aquafina* 2 bottles 0 calories.
Chopped Zucchini and Peppers Salad 20 calories (Once again I LOVE THE DELI DOWN THE STREET!!) Zucchini, Red and Yellow Peppers and Red Onion

There's no way i'm finishing this salad and it's only 3.5 oz so whatever is left will be dinner Still working... 2 1/2 hours to go. *Skinny* afternoon!!

[candy]

Yay! He's finally leaving!

You will be soup queen soon! I'm thinking of becoming soup princess for virginia, I really wanted soup yesterday for dinner (skipped it instead) I think I'll have to make my own, too freaky about cals lately....Got any good recipies?

You should definately start running, it's great!

Skinny Day!

[Skinny_Chick]

I'm totally going to take up running. Going to get new shoes tonight after work. New shoes and a new hobby, great stress relief. OMG LMAO The flat bed tow truck showed up at ex's house last night. Apparently he's only paid 2 payments on his car since he got it last December (apparently he's a liar) I was under the impression that he was 4 payments behind. So, it's got to be alot more than that. Which would explain him never leaving the car payment invoices around for me to see. Not that I'm a vengeful b**** or anything but I should call Drive and let the know where there car's at. The problem is that his whole family is used to having their stuff repoed. So, they're stupid enough to believe that if they block thecar in then the tow truck can never get it. (Uuumm not so much, the guys who repo aren't stupid, if they have to stalk you they'll get their car one way or another . There was 2 guys in the driveway last night trying to figure out how to move his sister's car out of the way lol.

Diet Pepsi breakfast

[Skinny_Chick]

It's the weekend I'm dead tired, about to go to bed. I worked 11 hours today. The boss decided to send me clear across the state at 2pm. I didn't get back to the office until 7:30. 11 hours. Yesterday I worked 11 too. Good for the paycheck though. Good for not eating too. I worked all day, had 1 *aquafina* and 1 diet pepsi that's it. Left work, went and bought new running shoes. I'm lucky, I can wear kids shoes ( I only wear a size 6 ). So, I got some light blue, orange and white Nike's cute, very cute I'm going to break them in tomorrow morning or tomorrow night, whenever it's cooler out. It went from freezing here last week to the 80's this week. Next week it's back to the 60's. Weather for getting sick. Ugh BUT I'll eat soup when it's like 80 outside. I keep my apartment at about 67 degrees, which helps.

So, foodwise today has been damn near a masterpiece

1 *Aquafina* 0 calories
1 Diet Pepsi 0 calories
Tomato soup 120 calories.

It also helps that I got into a massive argument with Ex today . I'm at my house, and I'm staying here, no matter what. Don't care if he hates it or not, I'm not his puppet I don't have to answer to him. And I had a fabulous food day because he's not here I LOVE IT! Should have completely kicked him to the curb a long time ago. I kicked him but then couldn't get rid of him. FINALLY he's gone he's a mad mess but I don't care I'm feeling fantastic. Only water, diet soda, and soup which is exactly how I succeeded before. AND he tried to tell me that I wouldn't be able to run, I'd fail. So, I told him I would twice as hard. 100% for me and another 100% just to prove him wrong and make me even stronger That's my last laugh. I'll lose even more because he doesn't think I can. HA, he's not strong enough to beat me down.

Ok, enough with my 1:00am power trip. My soup is gone and I'm off to bed. Night ladies. *SKINNY* DREAMS!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Yikes. It's 9am but it feels really early to me. I must be working to much. I'll sleep in tomorrow. My daughter's got a soccer game this morning.

No food yet today. Maybe I'll get on the scale later, if not then tomorrow.

*Aquafina* 1 bottle 0 calories

I'm going to go running later. Should have done it early this morning, but I had to sleep a little bit. If I don't sleep I get sick, so I'll run later. I should finish getting ready. I'll be around this afternoon. *SKINNY* Saturday

[candy]

Yay for running shoes! Have a great run hun, you'll enjoy it I'm sure, just push yourself one step further than you think you can go every step and in not time you'll be a running machine!

I'm sure today will be just as awesome food wise! Keep it up!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thanks Candy for some fantastic motivation Still no food today. Only *Aquafina*. Probably have some soup before my run, maybe some jello afterward. And for sure the documentary of my run will be posted here I'll probably go around 6 or 7, when it cools down a bit. Until then, I'm hanging out and doing nothing. Loving it too. Might have to do a little apartment cleaning but maybe I'll put that off til tomorrow, who knows I'm back to my tv ( why do I hate food but love the food channel?? Can anyone enlighten me ?? )

I'm back to my tv with another bottle of *Aquafina* **SKINNY** Saturday afternoon

[ThinMint06]

hello pretty aquafina lady!!

WAY TO FUCKING ROCK!!!
girl, you deserve major claps *me clapping* you're rocking this diet. oooh baby, you're going to be 113 before christmas at this rate!!!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thanks for the motivation ladies The run/walk run went well. For as much as I smoke I was impressed with myself. Aside from the fact that I had sore legs for 2 days it was great. I'm totally going again tonight. Ex got himself a job. That could make him gone for 3 weeks at a time the home for 2 days (this obviously is fabulous news, keeps me sane lol and gets him to leave me alone). I worked 10.5 hours again yesterday crazy week at the office. Yikes I'm a machine. Now if I could do that every day, work then run then sleep it would be great! Damn scale isn't moving. Desperately trying to figure out what jumpstarted the last 20 lbs (you know that 20 I put back on). But I don't remember. Was it a fast? Or purging? Or only soup and jello? Was it all the above? Probably because I can't pick one. Going back to figure it all out this week. Sure sign that it's a crazy week at the office... I started this at 9am it's 11:45 and I'm finally posting it

*Aquafina* 1 bottle 0 calories
5oz Cafe Mocha 85 calories

*Skinny* afternoon More later!
