SO I'VE BEEN SICK WITH A NASTY COLD FOR NEARLY A WEEK NOW. I HATE BEING SICK. WHAT BUGS ME IS THAT IT'S THE WORST TIME OF YEAR TO BE SICK WHEN I WORK IN SALES. UM YEAH, NOT BEING AT WORK AFFECTS MY COMMISSION CHECK, AND THIS IS USUALLY THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE I BRING A COMMISSION CHECK ALONE ABOUT $500+. I'VE JUST BROUGHT MY SICK ASS TO WORK EVERY DAY, STRUGGLING TO DO MY JOB. THE THING THAT ALSO SUCKS, IS THAT MY COMPANY DOESN'T JUST LET YOU USE YOUR SICK DAYS WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S NOTE. YOU HAVE TO BE GONE 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH A DOCTOR'S NOTE JUST TO HAVE THE FIRST TWO DAYS PAID. HOW DUMB, AT LEAST TO ME. I KNOW A BUSINESS IS A BUSINESS, BUT DAMN. MAYBE THE REASON I KEEP GOING TO WORK, IS SO THAT "EVIL" WILL CATCH MY COLD AND IN HER YUCKY ASS WILL GET A SEVERE PNEUMONIA! HAHAHA. OK, NOW WAIT A SEC. IF I WISH THAT UPON HER, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME AS FAR AS KARMA GOES? I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO BE GONE!
THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY FREAKIN COLD! YES, I KNOW IT'S WINTER BUT I HATE BEING COLD. I'VE KEPT MY THERMOSTAT AT 71 DEGREES FOR WEEKS, AND WEARING SLIPPERS AND COVER UP WITH BLANKETS WHILE WATCHING TV. MY HUSBAND STILL WILL ONLY SLEEP W/O A SHIRT ON, AND NO BLANKETS! I ADDED ANOTHER BLANKET TO THE BED, WEAR MY SOCKS, AND WARM JAMMIES! SOMETIMES DURING THE NIGHT HE WILL HAVE A COVER ON HIM, BUT RARELY.
MY HUBBY HASN'T BEEN FEELING VERY GOOD THE LAST 3 WEEKS. HE HAD BEEN COMPLAINING OF CHEST PAINS. SO I TOLD HIM TO STOP BITCHING AND GO GET IT CHECKED OUT. MEN ARE SUCH BABIES! SO, IT TURNED OUT THAT HE HAS SOME ACID REFLUX, BUT HE STILL THINKS IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. HE KEEPS PSYCHING HIMSELF UP TO SOMETHING, HE'S GONNA GIVE HIMSELF AN ULCER ONE OF THESE DAYS. SO THIS MORNING HE IS AT THE CARDIOLOGIST DOING SOME MORE TESTS. I HAVE TOLD HIM FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS TO GO ON A SERIOUS DIET. LAST YEAR WHEN HE HAD HIS GALLBLADDER REMOVED, THE DOCTORS WEREN'T SURE IF THE CATSCAN/MRI MACHINE WOULD HOLD HIS WEIGHT. AT CHECK IN, HE WAS 393 LBS AND THE CAPACITY WAS 400 LBS. SO HE WAS LUCKY THERE. HE NEEDS TO EAT MORE GREENS, AND HAVE PORTION CONTROL. HE WAS RAISED IN A FAMILY OF 9 KIDS IN MONTANA, SO MEAT AND POTATOES CAUGHT UP WITH HIM. I KEEP WANTING TO PUT HIM ON EXTREME MAKEOVER, BUT IF HE LOST THE WEIGHT, I'D SUBMIT HIS STORY, BECAUSE THEN THEY COULD REMOVE THE EXCESS SKIN ETC. I'D HAVE HIS TEETH FIXED, HAVE TUMMY TUCKED, HE'D LOOK SO MUCH BETTER AND I KNOW HE WOULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE TOO. I ALSO HAVE STARTED BACK ON MY PRESCRIPTION TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT. IT CAUSES ME NOT TO HAVE AN APPETITE, SO BY THE TIME DINNER COMES AROUND, I DO HAVE TO FORCE MYSELF TO EAT A LITTLE SOMETHING, USUALLY A SALAD. I EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST, SOMETIMES A SNACK FOR LUNCH, AND FORCE FEED A SALAD FOR DINNER. I HAVE NOTICED MY JEANS ARE A LITTLE LOOSER. YEAH!!
THE WAY I KINDA THINK ABOUT IT IS...WHAT IF I ONLY LOST AT MAX 5 LBS A MONTH? THAT WOULD BE 60 LBS IN ONE YEAR! THAT WOULD BE VERY SIGNIFICANT! EVEN 3-4 LBS A MONTH WOULD STILL ADD UP TO 36-48LBS LOST IN A YR! I'VE TOLD MY HUBBY ABOUT THIS HE WANTS TO BE DOWN 80-100 LBS BY NEXT CHRISTMAS. HE COULD IF HE HAS THE WILL POWER! HE LOST NEARLY 80LBS ON WEIGHT WATCHERS A FEW YEARS AGO. I HOPE HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT IT. I'D HATE TO GIVE HIM AN ULTIMATUM, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME WITH A DEAD GUY. I KNOW THAT SEEMS COLD AND HEARTLESS, BUT THE TABLE HAS ANOTHER SIDE. I'M NOT PERFECT EITHER, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY MORE HEALTH RELATED ISSUES. I WANT TO BE HEALTHY FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE A LOT OF LIVING TO DO.
