5th Weigh-in

This morning started out with me getting up and getting on a bus to head to my new Weight Watcher’s Meeting.  I ended up getting to my meeting 45 minutes early, which ended up being okay because they opened the doors and I was able to weigh-in early.  Before I weighed in I received a new 2010 Pocket Guide :)  This guide is much better than the original one, the paper is a better quality, the text is much bigger, and they got rid of the green font that was hard to read.  Oi, and we get a nice plastic sleeve to put our Pocket Guide in so that it stays all nice and purdy :)

I knew I was going to gain, however I thought it was going to more than this …

I am definitely happy with my weigh-in.  I know that this coming week is going to be better and I’ve already started tracking :)

  

As Angie put it … push the “re-start button”, which I did and I’m ready to continue moving forward.

Okay well I’m off to read and do some more unpacking and sorting.  I hope everyone has a great Sunday, take care!

This Week = Write Off

Well this past week has been a write off. 

I haven’t tracked anything. 

I found it very hard tracking while moving, unpacking and being overly stressed about everything.  I did have an incident with some small chocolate chip cookies, mini mint brownies and some KFC.  I know that tomorrow when I step on the scale at my Weight Watcher’s Meeting that I’m going to see a gain and I’m okay with that.  I didn’t weigh-in last Sunday because of moving.  I’m hoping that the new location I’m going to attend tomorrow is really good.  I actually picked this location because I will only have to get on 1 Bus and they have at least 1 Meeting Daily :)

This morning I headed down to the Santa Shuffle.  I realized that when I got there that I had no idea who was actually attending the Santa Shuffle or where we were meeting.  I ended up having a panic attack not too long after arriving.  It was my first attempt at a 5K and I couldn’t see anyone from Blog-land which caused me to panic … so I came home.  I don’t even know if a location was decided on since I didn’t see anything on anyone else's blog, nor did I receive an email if one was going around.  For those of you that attended, Congratulations!!!

In other news … Liam and I are loving our new apartment, and so are the cats :)  I love being able to walk to work in 5 minutes and being able to sleep in 1.5 hours later!  I also love the neighbourhood, we have anything and everything we need in at least a 10 minute walking distance.

Oh yeah, we also purchased some train tickets to return to Woodstock, Ontario for Christmas this morning.  The train will be leaving at 4:25 p.m. on December 24th.  I cannot wait to see my parents, sister and brother, and Penny (Liam’s Mom). 

Okay well I’m off to rest and put my new Carpal Tunnel Splint on, hopefully it helps.  Take Care!

 

Sleepless Night

    

Left to Right: Tobin Dax, Orphan Annie, and Eecheb

Last night Tobin meowed and cried from 11:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.  Liam and I both were a bit upset about being kept up all night but at the same time we know that this move is a lot of change for the cats.  Eecheb and Annie appeared to be fine, though they did jump up on the bed quite a bit for some cuddles.  All three cats have been sleeping all day so here’s hoping that the cats are okay tonight and we can get some sleep, especially since I go back to work tomorrow morning.

Today has been a day of doctor appointments as well as more moving and unpacking.  I have had a lot of aches and pains in my wrist/arm/shoulder and the doctor diagnosed me with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  My doctor said that working in factories for 10 years doing repetitive work is what caused me to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Right now I’m just going to get a wrist/arm splint and wear it at night.  Hopefully this will prevent my wrist from getting worse, however if things do get worse I’ll have to go for surgery.  My doctor is also sending me to get a ultrasound done on my throat/thyroid because she has a feeling something isn’t right there.  My blood work always comes back fine but blood work doesn’t show us/tell us everything.

Other than the above not much has been going on.  I really missed going to my Weight Watcher’s Meeting on Sunday. 

Okay well I’m off to do some more unpacking and then I’m going to watch The Biggest Loser at 9:00 p.m.  Take care!

Moving Day

I’m just slightly shitting my pants right now … I’m scared and nervous about having to drive a 16 foot truck from Toronto to Woodstock and then back to Toronto again!!!

At least in roughly 12 hours we should be 90% moved into our new apartment :)  We’ll be spending the night there tonight, and possibly bringing Eecheb, Annie, and Tobin to the apartment tonight :)

Okay well I’m off to pick up the moving truck, have a great Sunday!!  I won’t be weighing in today due to moving, I figure I’ll go this coming Saturday and that will be my new weigh-in day!!

Take Care!

Bad, Bad Blogger

Blah, this week has been crazy busy and exhausting.  I’m so glad that tomorrow is Thursday, I’m looking forward to 6:00 p.m. on Friday because that starts my 4 day weekend :)

So this week Liam and I have gotten our hydro, internet, and digital cable set up as well as rented a moving truck for Sunday.  We also went out and bought 2 cell phones from Koodo.  Both Liam and I have never had cell phones before, we both feel weird having them.

Liam got a black Samsung Slyde and I got a pink Samsung Slyde :)

  

In other news, food  has been going well.  I’ve ate out a lot this week, I’ve tracked everything and have stayed within my POINTS.  I won’t be able to go to my Weight Watcher’s Meeting this Sunday due to moving, I’m going to hit up one the following week, possibly on Saturday.

Speaking of Weight Watcher’s … I got a letter in the mail saying …

“Hi Crystal,

We missed you today!

We’ll look forward to seeing you back next Sunday.”

Ahh … I attended my meeting this past Sunday ????

Okay well I’m off to track my dinner and then I’m off to bed, I have a bad headache!  Take care :)
