Counting Down...

Posted 04-17-2007 at 01:47 PM by ReneBean (ReneBean's Journal)

Today is Tuesday. By Thursday, we are supposed to hear the news....

No one is working - there is no work to do. We are pretty much hanging out and listening to the radio, reading, playing games, or studying (me).

Everyone is depressed.... Except for one co-worker had a job interview yesterday. He came in all suited up in a tie. No one was surprised, and I hope he gets the job. It sucks to KNOW that you are going to be unemployed and not be able to do anything about...

*Sigh* Stress Sucks

Posted 04-12-2007 at 07:30 PM by ReneBean (ReneBean's Journal)

Stress has one effect on me - it makes me not give one little damn about losing weight, or exercise, or anything.

I went on-line today, looking for a job. It was pretty depressing. Anything that I have a snow-ball's chance of qualifying for pays literally half of my mortgage salary.

Any mortgage jobs have already been filled by people from the companies that have closed - so I am currently a surplus individual, in more than just my pants size.

I have to...

Ye Old Weekend

Posted 04-06-2007 at 03:14 PM by ReneBean (ReneBean's Journal)

I have decided that more journalling might help me keep my butt on track.

I get gold stars for going to the gym again, last night. DH is still not coming with - but he has promised to make an attempt this weekend. Seeing me go without him is guilting him out a bit.

This weekend promises to be a busy one. Scarborough Faire starts on Saturday and I am all excited about it. It would be nicer if the weather was a tad warmer - but hey - it will still be fun....

Exercise, Exercise, Excercise...

Posted 04-05-2007 at 07:00 PM by ReneBean (ReneBean's Journal)

Ok. I say this every time I fall off the exercise wagon - but seriously - why do I fight it?

After arguing with myself and spending all of March in a couch-potato stupor, I finally dragged my butt to the gym last night. Aside from a few minutes of lung burn - to be expected after well over 30 days with no body movement - I was just fine. By the time I was done with 20 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes on the bike, I had a great sense of accomplishment and I felt physically...

Another month, another 3 pounds....

Posted 03-30-2007 at 03:55 PM by ReneBean (ReneBean's Journal)

Well, I am back to make another entry. I had another "Aftercare" visit yesterday.

My Official weight as of yesterday (per doc's scale = official) was 289. My last official weight 1 month prior was 293.5 - so I have officially lost 3.5 pounds. My unoffical weight (unofficial = my scale + 4 lb) this morning was 287.5 pounds. Not exactly supermodel fitness - but a damned site better than the original 357 pound that I started at when I first joined LBT.

I was pretty...
