<br />
While my hernia is wreaking absolute havoc on me...I can't eat. Any time I eat, I get super nauseous. I am subsisting on green tea with a smidge of honey.<br />
<br />
I find funny videos.<br />
<br />
That's all I have today. Hopefully good news after doctor tomorrow.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-64266283333982605632013-01-21T11:23:00.001-08:002013-01-21T11:23:30.800-08:00Triad Muse - Performance Nutrition ReviewSo, I've been bad at blogging....<br />
<br />
Bad at sticking to working out......<br />
<br />
Bad at just about everything....<br />
<br />
But one thing I am good at, is eating.<br />
<br />
This week, a friend of mine talked me into trying some meals from Muse Catering. They have a section called Muse Performance Nutrition. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.triadmuse.com/#!" target="_blank">Triad Muse</a> is the website.<br />
<br />
The Menu is AMAZING. This week, I tried the Asian Beef. Nutritional breakdown is as follows:<br />
<br />
Calories 532<br />
Protein 64g<br />
Carbs 28g<br />
Fat 13g<br />
Fiber 2g<br />
Sodium 34%<br />
<br />
This was the "light" version. It filled me up. I will definitely make it to dinner on this! You can buy the meals in pack of 5 or 10. You don't have to get 5 or 10 of the same thing, but you can mix and match. These are great for me to have here at work because I forget or don't have time to make my meals a lot and this will be a MUCH healthier alternative to say....McDonalds.<br />
<br />
The menu this week looks like this:<br />

They bring the meals to you in a sealed package - vacuum sealed. And they are delivered every Friday. A friend of mine who joined the weightloss site Healthy Wage.com is doing this to help her lose weight for the competition. She is also doing it because her husband is going through intense cancer treatment for the next year as part of a research study group. This way, she knows they are getting healthy meals without a lot of prep time. She has more time to spend with him and their daughter.<br />
<br />
She also had gastric bypass surgery several (over 8) years ago (and gained all her weight back, plus some) and has to watch her nutrition numbers. <br />
<br />
Tonight, I am not going to the gym - we are workong on cleaning the house. I mean REALLY cleaning - spring cleaning, if you will. We scrubbed both bathrooms yesterday from top to bottom, including the ceiling. My room of choice for tonight is the kitchen. Megan is cooking dinner - Korean chicken wings. So, while she is cooking (and hopefully cleaning up!!) I will be working on re-organizing my shelf over the washer and dryer, which is where I store most of my small appliances because I have an incredibly small amount of cabinet space. <br />
<br />
This weekend is the huge task - the dining room - which looks like, well I don't know, but NOT anything like a dining room. Going to go to Hobby Lobby to get a new cabinet for my dvd's and get rid of 2 computer desks and 2 bookshelves. So Excited!!<br />

I had to go get a shot on Monday. I thought I was getting the flu that is flying around here like mad, but luckily I dodged that bulled.<br />
<br />
The weather has been CRAZY!!<br />
<br />
Sunday it was 74.<br />
<br />
Today it's 39 with a chance of snow/ice overnight. <br />
<br />
We need a good, hard freeze to kill off all the germs and fleas and bugs that have been going nuts for the past 2 years.<br />
<br />
Global warming?<br />
<br />
Heck if I know. Weather has always been pretty mild in my part of the country, so it's hard to figure out.<br />
<br />
Megan and I discovered a really cool Asian market last Thursday here in Greensboro. HUGE place. Have tried lots of new things.<br />
<br />
My new best friend - Green Tea Pumpkin Seeds.<br />
<br />
Going to the gym tonight. Haven't been since last Thursday. Need to stay on track this time because I want to be back in the 100's by May. Pretty attainable if you ask me.<br />

<br />
Awesome, awesome story!!<br />
<br />
But, my son will graduate in May with a degree in education.<br />
<br />
I seriously fear for his life. Every day.<br />
<br />
But then, anything can happen at any given time.<br />
<br />
When I was in school back in the stone ages **cough** (I graduated in 1989), there was nothing like this. no school shooting.<br />
<br />
Were there shootings?<br />
<br />
Yes.<br />
<br />
Just not at school.<br />
<br />
My junior year of high school, there was this party. Half the school, at least, was invited. I've tried doing a google search for it and I can't find anything. Trying to remember back to then is hard. All I can remember is that the boy that was killed's name was Brian and the boy that shot him was Jason.<br />
<br />
Jason killed Brian over a fudgescicle.<br />
<br />
Dumb, right?<br />
<br />
Brian was 20, and at the time, that was legal, if I remember right, to buy alcohol, or he got someone else to get it. There was beer involved. Jason was 15.<br />
<br />
15.<br />
<br />
I think that was the first time ever I heard of a teenager shooting and killing someone. At least where I lived at the time.<br />
<br />
Why did Jason shoot Brian over a fudgescicle?<br />
<br />
Because Jason's step father was abusive and they told him there had better not be any food missing from the house when they got back from a week-long trip they were on. Meaning, no missing fudgescicles and he was supposed to eat elsewhere while they were gone.<br />
<br />
Being as there was alcohol involved, Jason was not thinking. He went to his step father's room, got the gun, told Brian to put the fudgescicle back, and when Brian didn't comply, he shot him.<br />
<br />
In front of about 30 people.<br />
<br />
I can remember in the week that followed the shooting, there was a line all the way around the round (our high school was round....litterally....it looks like a prison) waiting to talk to the guidance counselors. Kids were terrified. Scared it was going to happen to them. Scared for Jason, who at 15, was tried as an adult and sentanced to 30 years in prison for manslaughter. Sad for Brian's family.<br />
<br />
Crazy, right?<br />
<br />
And now, things like this are common place. We hear about them on just about a daily basis.<br />
<br />
And it makes me sad...and scared.<br />
<br />
But, I support my son's choice 100%. And I'll be there for him if he ever has to go through anything like this, and I pray that he does not. <br />
<br />
Just as I pray that nothing like the shootings that have happened all over the world will not happen again.<br />
<br />
*sigh*<br />
<br />
Melancholy day, I guess.<br />
<br />
But a good story!!<br />
<br />
Gym tonight! <br />
<br />
Oh, and an update on Georgianna - she is a perfectly healthy 13yo boxer, just needs to lose some weight - just like me, lol.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-3022575483816836922013-01-10T06:43:00.001-08:002013-01-10T06:43:47.661-08:00Thinking good thoughts for one of our dogs :( ..and a plug for a few rescuesWe have boxers.<br />
<br />
We LOVE boxers.<br />
<br />
We have had chows, standard poodles and German shepards......Boxers top them all.<br />
<br />
The only problem with boxers is that they are VERY prone to cancer.<br />
<br />
We lost Dallas in 2003 to a brain tumor.<br />
<br />
We lost Sampson in 2009 to lung cancer.<br />
<br />
Georgianna, our 13-year-old that we got from a rescue in Alabama - we know that she has mamary tumors, but with her age, they said to leave them alone, that as long as they don't grow, they are fine.<br />
<br />
A few days ago, she started vomiting and had diarreah. Yay. Awesome to go home after work and see your husband running out of the house with a trash can, trying not to yack everywhere because you walked in to dog poo in the house because the poor girl couldn't hold it.<br />
<br />
Megan is taking her to the dr today, because even though the vomitting is gone, she has this hack. I am thinking that she has the beginning of congestive heart failure. If I'm right, it's totally treatable. We just have to make sure to get her on the right meds. I love our vet, too. They are verry supportive and, unlike some vets out there, they try to make things very affordable, too.<br />
<br />
The rescue we got George from is <a href="http://www.rockinprescue.org/" target="_blank">Rockin P Rescue</a>. Sam, we had him from a puppy. Dallas was a rescue from the <a href="http://cbr.homestead.com/index.html" target="_blank">Carolina Boxer Rescue</a>. He was a dog that was rescued after Hurricane Floyed and no one claimed him. He was the BEST dog that I have ever owned, and definitely my boy.<br />
<br />
The blurb on the Rockin P site after I adopted George, at a bout 5 months old:<br />

Libby, we got her from a breeder that I have known for over 6 years. She only breeds her females twice, then has them spayed. They then go to adoptive homes where they can live out their lives :). Libby is a European boxer. She has a more laid back temperament and a shorter snout than an American bred boxer.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in finding out more about where I got Libby, you can go here: <a href="http://www.winncreekboxers.com/index.html" target="_blank">Winn Creek Boxers</a>. I will say this - you are paying for QUALITY if you go to Kim or anyone that she recommends. These are not puppy mill dogs, nor are these breeders doing this for money. The good ones that do all required testing and everything actually LOSE money when they have litters.<br />
<br />
I do HIGHLY recommend Kim, and I also HIGHLY recommend both the rescues mentioned above. There is NOTHING WRONG with getting an older dog. Dallas was at least 5 when we got him. He fit right in. You don't HAVE to get a puppy every single time you get a dog. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, while I patiently wait for my daughter to call to tell me what the vet said, I had better do something productive here at work.<br />
<br />
Later!Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-50208866310131872142013-01-09T04:53:00.001-08:002013-01-09T05:15:47.785-08:00Drinking diet soda linked to increased risk of depression (interesting blurb of the day)<a href="http://on-msn.com/13gvvHA#scptm27">Drinking diet soda linked to increased risk of depression</a><br />
<br />
The top response to this article reads as follows:<br />
<br />
"This study is stupid! The reason diet soda drinkers are depressed is because the fatties are the ones drinking it. Not mention the age of the people was 50 to 71, hell they are almost dead what do they have to look forward to?"<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
A lot of the diet pop drinkers I know are thin, fit, and very, very happy.<br />
<br />
Do I drink diet pop? No. Not regularly, anyway. I don't like it that much. I prefer water. Once in a while, I'll throw some crystal light or mio in for a little taste, but overall, I like water.<br />
<br />
Now, I am trying to get my daughter off of regular pop, for health reasons. She is overweight and is at high risk for developing a fatty liver. Getting her off of high-calorie soda and foods is our first priority. Baby steps, or she will become depressed or pissed off over me being a tyrant and overbearing. She drinks diet mountain dew. Is she depressed now? No. She's a college student going to school to be an Airplane Mechanic, lives at home, and pretty much has a very good life, including social.<br />
<br />
The only reason that I can think of people being depressed from drinking either diet pop or fruit drinks would be the crash after the sugar/caffiene high is gone, lol. That could be depressing if you were really enjoying that buzz.<br />
<br />
But do I really think that drinking diet soda can lead to depression? Nah.<br />

<br />
I decided to stop drinking caffeine yesterday. I don't drink a whole lot of it, but I decided to stop drinking it again. I usually have one cup of coffee in the morning. Mostly just so I have somthing to drink when I get up. I've gotten to where I just grab a bottle of water instead. <br />
<br />
I have a meeting tonight. It's a dinner meeting that I have once a month that helps me earn education credits for one of my certifications so I don't have to re-test when my certification time is up. <br />
<br />
I'm leaving at 3:30 so that I can get to the gym before I have to be at the meeting at 5pm. They feed us dinner at the meeting. Most of the time it's really gross pizza (seriously) and salad. Sometimes some kind of pasta. If the meeting wasn't so long, I would just wait til I got home to eat. My Greek yogurt is NOT going to last til we eat dinner at 6:15ish :p. Maybe I will grab a chicken sandwich or something on the way there. <br />
<br />
This week at work has been very hectic so far. I have an unannounced audit that will happen any day - at least we know approximatley when it will be. The guy comes the same time every year. Usually the day before or the day after my son's birthday.<br />
<br />
Speaking of my son, he is student teaching this semester. Hard to believe that he will be 22 on Thursday. He graduates from NC State in May with a degree in Science Education with a concentration in Physics.<br />
<br />
One of the dogs is sick. If she's not doing any better by tomorrow, I am going to have Megan take her to the vet. She is 13 (the dog, not Megan :p), so unless it's something easy to fix, there really isn't very much they can do. We know she has several tumors - begnin for the most part. But there is no telling what's going on inside. Most of the tumors are mamary. She's still eating and bouncing around...she just has a cough and is vomitting. I have a feeling it may be her heart :(.<br />
<br />
Anywho. Until later....Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-28846517335472252532013-01-05T07:32:00.000-08:002013-01-05T07:33:30.777-08:00Weekend Warrior - and some more Florida pics :PIt's Saturday.<br />
<br />
I'm at work.....<br />
<br />
Surprise, surprise, surprise.......<br />
<br />
I'm leaving around noon and I want to go home and re-arrange my kitchen and do some cleaning and get laundry out of the way because tomorrow I want to do NOTHING!<br />
<br />
Except get my 5 mile walk in that I have been neglecting.<br />
<br />
Last night, didn't get to the gym because of having to go to my mother in laws old house to go through her pantry and spices. Got a bunch of great stuff, but man, she can't concentrate on ANYTHING! Ugh. Worked on it for 10 minutes "Ok, I'm ready to call it a night". Now I see why she didn't get everything to Florida in one trip. *sigh*<br />
<br />
For some reason I can't pull up Blogger at home on any computer in the house. It's weird. I've tried different browsers, resetting my computers settings, and everything and can't get it to come up.<br />
<br />
So I can only post from work O.o.<br />
<br />
Anyhow.....<br />
<br />
Making Tortellini soup tonight! Tomorrow, we are celebrating my son's 22nd birthday at Arigato Japaneses Steakhouse. Monday he starts student teaching and he graduates from NC State in May. I'm getting old.....and my youngest goes back to GTCC on Monday, too. She turns 20 next month.<br />
<br />
Better get back to the grind...soooooo.....here is another batch of pictures from the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Refuge.<br />

Like the less processed crap you eat, you are actually hungry more often?<br />
<br />
I still have yet to figure out if that's a good thing or a bad thing.<br />
<br />
My food for yesterday:<br />

I don't know if I didn't eat enough yesterday or what. My sodium intake was great - way below where the max is. Everything else was good too. <br />
<br />
My stomach was eating itself by 8am, but I guess that's normal. Now that I think about it, whenever I AM eating right, I'm hungrier more - my metabolism runs faster. Which is a good thing.<br />
<br />
I'm back to cutting out caffine and sugar. I have found that works for me. I just feel better when I do that. <br />
<br />
Today, I have in my lunch bag:<br />
<br />
Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin Cereal<br />
<br />
1c Almond milk<br />
<br />
4 clementines<br />
<br />
Chobani Blood Orange Greek Yogurt<br />
<br />
Banana<br />
<br />
Rachel Ray Strawberry Orange Banana oatmeal with 1tbsp Planters Nuttirition Banana Granola Peanut Butter, chia seeds, and a banana<br />
<br />
Popcorn (which I just found out was really gross.....the butter flavor stuck to the roof of my mouth....blah!)<br />
<br />
Dinner is going to be strip steaks, possibly a potato, salad and broccoli. Not sure on the potato.<br />
<br />
I am making my tortellini soup tomorrow. I went through all my old blog posts yesterday and realized I have not made that in a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Too long....and it's really tasty.<br />
<br />
Well, to top off today's musings, here are some pictures from the Florida trip. These are from the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Refuge<br />

<br />
It's going to be a great year.<br />
<br />
Period.<br />
<br />
No if's, and's or but's.<br />
<br />
Hubby and I decided that we were going to be no-drama, no crap, and take the time to enjoy life and being with each other as a family. When your kids are 22 and 20, it's kind of hard ,but it can be done.<br />
<br />
I am back to eating right. Third day on track. I FEEL so much better. I can always tell when I cut out all the crap. I don't feel "icky".....like heavy and crap.<br />
<br />
Had a wonderful Christmas. Got an awsome new camera, knitting needles, money, a pocket book, boots I had to take back (unfortunately, my calves are too big), and a couple other odds and ends. <br />
<br />
We moved my mother-in-law to Florida last week. My next few blog posts will have pictures from that.<br />
<br />
I'm going to the gym at 4 every day the rest of this week. Period.<br />
<br />
They have changed some of our classes at the gym....they got rid of belly dance :(. And one of the Zumba classes. I refuse to do the knock out class, because the chick that teaches it is a total bitch. I can't stand for someone to get totally in my face over stuff. I can take constructive criticism, but to get in my face and hold up the whole class because I can't do the move exactly the way YOU want me to - forget it. Nellie and I will be going to one of the other gyms for some classes. I have to find out how to get my membership changed to where I can go to all the gyms, instead of just the one I got my membership at.<br />
<br />
I've restarted logging all my food over at myfitnesspal.com. It works really well. I used it before I switched to the program that the gym uses. I'm going to see how to cancel that one and just go with MFP. The trainer that I work with for my nutrition has an account at MFP too, so that works well. <br />
<br />
I do have some finishes for knitting to post, too, that I did for Christmas presents.<br />
<br />
Below are pictures I took at Cedar Rock Park on Christmas Eve morning. Michael let me have my camera early because he wanted me to take some pictures of him and his brother. His oldest brother passed away on December 3rd, and he and his middle brother wanted me to take pictures of them for their mom and have them framed for Christmas, but then Michael got the flu. I think we are going to try to do that this weekend instead.<br />

<br />
Work has been super crazy - with a trip to Cincinnati (pictures to come), having to come in at 4am when a certain customer comes in to watch their product run (which has caused me to work 21 hours....yes, 21 hours....in one day) and on and on and on.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to make any excuses as to what is going on with my weight loss and with my workouts. It's all on me. I have full responsibility for my actions.<br />
<br />
Last night was the first night back to the gym in forever. And I was so happy I went. I did almost pass out in weight lifting class, though. My blood pressure got too high. <br />
<br />
And I have gained some back. I can tell because my hernia is acting up again. I could tell a big difference when I was losing steadily before, because I couldn't feel my hernia as much. It didn't pop up so often. Gotta get back down to that.<br />
<br />
More later.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-17585587411317508952012-09-17T12:36:00.000-07:002012-09-17T12:36:00.461-07:00A new week and some stitchingWheeeeeeeeeeeeeewh.<br />
<br />
It's been a long couple of weeks. I have training coming up later this week that I have to go to Charlotte for for 2 days. I don't know if I am looknig forward to it, or dreading it.<br />
<br />
You see, my entire job depends on this training. I have gotten one certification already. This one, will be directly linked to my new title. Which, if I pass, I will share more info on later. <br />
<br />
I really don't want to jinx it.<br />
<br />
Today and tomorrow are kinda sad days.<br />
<br />
My favorite Zumba/Hip Hop instructor is leaving. We've been doing classes with her since November of last year. So, just about 10 months. That's a long time to do workout classes with someone. We have had subs - and none of them have been as good as Tassie - or as energetic or as high-impact. *sigh*. <br />
<br />
Maybe change is good. My weight has been at a standstill for about 3 weeks now. The 6lbs I lost a few weeks ago was water weight. And, I know a lof of that is my own fault.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I really haven't cared lately. Seriously. Zippo caring here.<br />
<br />
Now, on the other hand.....there was another reason I started this blog. That was to keep track of my sewing/knitting.<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots of my current projects:<br />
<br />
The first is a baby blanket I am doing for a dear friend of mine here at work that has a baby due in January. I will also be making her a bonnet and a pair of mary-jane booties.<br />

<br />
Nellie is back from vacation. We are going back to the gym tonight. I kinda blew it off last week. See, I'm stuck in my same cycle again.<br />
<br />
Ugh.<br />

<br />
How would you take this?<br />
<br />
For 2 years.......TWO YEARS......my "best friend" has begged me to get her a job where I work. I work for a family-owned flavor company. We make food flavoring ingredients, and if you eat, you have eaten what we make....simple as that.<br />
<br />
anyway......<br />
<br />
2 weeks ago, she started working here. She's a temporary. We don't direct hire, unless it's a salaried position. You have to work 400 hours to be considered for permanent employment.<br />
<br />
Without going into great detail, let's just say at her last place of employment, she was forced to resign because of Facebook. She did something stupid. End of story.<br />
<br />
She had an ESC hearing today, because her former place of employment is contesting her unemployment benefits. <br />
<br />
So she texts me this morning and texts me the following:<br />
<br />
"Just so you know, I unfriended ***** from facebook and I'm going to unfriend you too from my page. I'll still be on the alumni page (our kids high-school band alumni page). This is only because of what happened to me with ***. Mixing business with social networks is not a good idea anymore. This has been heavy on my heart since I started working at ******. Especially since I've got this hearing this mroning. It's not because I don't love you, I do. I like ***** as well, but I think it would be better this way. I don't ever want this situation to happen to me again. I know you'll understand. Love you!"<br />
<br />
Ok, nope, I don't understand.<br />
<br />
Does she think so little of the "friendship" we have shared for the past 4 YEARS that she thinks I would do something to cause her to lose her job?? This is why I HATE helping people like this. The last time I got a "friend" a job, she had an affair with the maintenance dude. Not this same friend, but still. It's a reflection on ME when someone I recommend does crap like that.<br />
<br />
With my position here (management) I can't afford crap like that.<br />
<br />
This isn't a younger, flighty person either. Most of my GOOD friends are 10-12 years older than me. I have always been the youngest parent when it came to my kid's stuff, because I had my oldest when I was 19 and most of the parents I have met we in their late 20's mid-30's when they had their kids.<br />
<br />
**sigh**<br />
<br />
I hate drama.<br />
<br />
Am I worried about her reading this? No. She doesn't even know this blog exists. She doesn't like to read. I've told her about it. I've told her about some amazing things written on the internet, like <a href="http://www.dionaea-house.com/" target="_blank">The Dionaea House</a>. This was written by an old high school friend of mine, who is now a screen writer/director in Los Angeles. (Hi, Eric :))<br />
<br />
anyhow.....I'm done for the day. Step class tonight!!!<br />
<br />
I leave you with the amazing DRAMA LLAMA!!!<br />
<br />

That was expected. I knew when I started back I would lose a lot of water weight, as normal, right off the bat. <br />
<br />
Let's see what next week brings.<br />
<br />
This weekend was super busy. Friday, I worked from 6am to 11:15pm. Yeah. That way, I didn't have to come in this weekend. Plus, I went and picked up "The Hunger Games". I've watched it 3 times this weekend. Yes, I am a dork.<br />
<br />
Saturday was a surprise party here at work for a friend.<br />
<br />
Sunday, they came and finished installing all our stuff for our new tv. We went from a 56 inch projection tv, to one you mount on the wall. I have sssoooooooooooooooooooo much more space in the living room, it's stupid!! We need new furniture :(. It doesn't look right anymore.<br />
<br />
I am doing this run in October in honor of my dear friend Kevin's oldest son, Cody.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.trianglerunwalkforautism.org/" target="_blank">The Triangle Run/Walk for Autism</a><br />
<br />
I have some others that I am doing, but not set in stone yet. I have to get through a training course for work before I can plan any others. The only other one I am DEFINITELY doing is the Outer Banks 1/2 Marathon in November.<br />
<br />
Zumba tonight! There is also a new class they started I may try - It's called Rush Active. It's cardio, balance, core, and strength all in one. <br />
<br />
Lastly....I cannot say how much I LOVE this new Carrie Underwood song. <br />
<br />
I'm from Oklahoma. My brother knew Carrie in school. This song in no way applies to me, but I LOVE it. The score is amazing and the lyrics are heart wrenching, because I do know some people this can apply to.<br />
<br />

<br />
But I am ready for fall. It's not the temperature. It's the smell. And the colors. <br />
<br />
Living in North Carolnia, we have some of the prettiest fall foliage around. We go driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway and just look at the leaves and take pictures. Even as far east as we are, we get some very pretty pictures here too. I want the kids to go get their pictures taken on the UNCG campus this fall. In spring, it's pretty too.....but nothing beats fall.<br />
<br />
I went to Zumba last night...it was a lot of fun. Tassie, the instructor told us she is going for her re-certification so we will have some new songs to do soon. <br />
<br />
Tonight is Hip Hop, then Power. Ugh. It'll also be eat out night, since I hate cooking that late. I'll be getting a salad from Isabellas.<br />
<br />
Short and sweet today :)<br />
<br />
And, in reference to the post I made yesterday...here are the 2 parts for the Jimmy Fallon - Troll Doll Jingles skit<br />
<br />

<br />
I just totally lost track. I gained back 8lbs, which will come off this next week since I am back on drinking my water and eating. I am also back into going to the gym. Nellie has been pushing me this past week, and even though I have been half-assing the eating and water, I am really working on the gym. I want to be at at least 199 by Thanksgiving when I go home to visit Mom. I saw her in March and it was after that trip that I really started working on this.<br />
<br />
If I hadn't quit, this would have been my 22nd week in a row working out and eating right. I would have probably been under 200 by now. I'm in no way giving up, that is for sure. That is in no way an option.<br />
<br />
I was at my mother-in-laws last week and we were going through old pictures. I was flipping skinny even when I was pregnant. My hair was long and Michael and I were talking and he really wants me to grow my hair back out. I have been looking for long dos that would still not make me look 10 years older. I look younger with shorter hair. So, I think I will make an appointment with Christine, my hairdresser, and see what she can suggest. I have this stupid naturally curly thing, so it has to get down past my shoulders before I can really do anything with it. I want to get it colored again, but I also want to be able to do more than throw it up in a ponytail.<br />
<br />
This Saturday, I went to visit my son in Raleigh. He moved back for school last Tuesday. It's so hard to believe that he is a senior at NC State this year. Boy, I feel old, lol.<br />
<br />
On the way there, I was listening ot one of the comedy stations on Serious satellite radio and this came on:<br />

Then, Mikey and I went to Sushi Nine for lunch. It was AMAZING. Most of the sushi that I have had has come from Japanese restraunts or Chinese buffet. I had never been to an acutal Sushi place.</div>

We were going to go to Cheesecake Factory, but we decided on Sushi Nine. I'm glad we did becase I definitely do not need cheesecake :p.<br />
<br />
Then, we went to Trader Joes and I found the most amazing thing ever.....Cookie Butter!! It's like peanut butter, but it tastes like a damn oatmeal cookie. It's wondermous!! The guy at the checkout said it should come with a warning label, and boy was he right!! We got him some food for the apartment and some beverages and then I took him back and headed home.<br />
<br />
Friday night I had found Sugar Cookie Vodka. I have been looking for this ever since a lake trip where Leslie had it mixed with diet root beer.<br />
<br />

<br />
I now share an office with someone.<br />
<br />
Honestly? IT SUCKS.<br />
<br />
The person that I share an office with talks WAY too much. I have 2 huge certification tests coming up and I spend probably 1/2 my day working on studying for those. The other half is my daily stuff....internal audits, meetings, etc.<br />
<br />
Last Tuesday, we were told where we would be moving. I have known this was coming for a while and have been ok with it. I get along with everyone for the most part.<br />
<br />
But this guy.....ugh. He is never here. Since December when his vacation/sick/personal time renewed, he has used EVERY BIT OF IT. He's getting ready to be out for a month or more with neck surgery starting this Thursday. He is being considered for a supervisor position and goes on and on about how he is not going to take it if they don't show him the money, because they have been taking advantage of him for the past 2 years beceause they don't pay him enough for the position. blah, blah, blahblahblah.<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
You put out 167 (his count) applications/resumes and where we work was the ONLY place to offer you anything? And THAT is only because you worked with our supervisor before.<br />
<br />
Right.<br />
<br />
All I have to say is when they build the new offices, I better be one of the first ones to move.....<br />
<br />
Got in a 30 min walk last night. Going for 45 mins tonight then Thursday, going to do my whole 5-mile circuit in preparation for the <a href="http://5miletheyellowbrickroad.vpweb.com/" target="_blank">Yellow Brick Road 5-mile</a> in Roxboro on Saturday. I wanted to run it, but since tearing my hamstring, I am more than likely walking most of it. Which is ok with me. I just want to DO it.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-34783629281986308662012-07-09T04:29:00.000-07:002012-07-09T04:29:29.405-07:00A short hiatus and a torn hamstringYes, I have been MIA.<br />
<br />
I am a slacker.<br />
<br />
I tore my hamstring doing of all things, water skiing.<br />
<br />
So, I have been in a bout of depression. Or self-pitty, however you want to look at it. <br />
<br />
But, in the infamous words of Jack Nicholson in "The Shining".......Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Lynn!!<br />
<br />
Today is a new day and I am back at it. I have wallowed around long enough. I need to get back on track....I was doing so well. I am up 8 lbs. But, I know most of that will fall right back off. I really haven't been eating THAT terribly. <br />
<br />
And, while I have been having my pitty-party, I still have a lot to celebrate.<br />
<br />
We made it through our SQF Audit. We have worked towards this audit for 19 months. And we did it MUCH better than anyone could have thought. We got an EXCELLENT rating. 99.02%. And the auditor raved on how I did my verifications and validations. He was very impressed. <br />
<br />
Now, comes the hard part.<br />
<br />
Keeping it.<br />
<br />
Our company president is also the acting president of AIB, which is our certification body.<br />
<br />
No pressure :p<br />
<br />
I am in the process of getting my HACCP certification. Once that is done, I will go for my SQF Practitioner certification. Meaning, I will be over the entire SQF Program.<br />
<br />
Again, no pressure.<br />
<br />
But it means something more......I have been working towards a management position for the past 20 years at various companies. And I'm about to get it!!!<br />
<br />
So, no more self-pity.<br />
<br />
Back to taking care of ME.Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05988510547459360186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870275097145234641.post-65915106152668975422012-06-25T05:45:00.000-07:002012-06-25T05:45:30.432-07:00To water ski or not to water ski.....that is the questionI love skiing. <br />
<br />
Snow skiing, water skiing, they are both the same to me.<br />
<br />
Problem is, I haven't done it in YEARS. Literally. The last time I skied anything was in 2000. 12 years ago.<br />
<br />
We are leaving for the lake on Wednesday evening after the huge regulatory audit we are having tomorrow and Wednesday. A friend of ours, who I introduced in a different post, owns a house at Hyco Lake. We are going to stay there and commute to work the rest of the week, going back in the evenings and going out on the boat or just hanging out.<br />
<br />
Now me, I'm just going to work Thursday for a half a day, taking a friend for a birthday pedicure and lunch, then I will have all day Friday to myself there until they get back from work. They being the hubby, David, Randy and Jeff.<br />
<br />
Michael and I were talking last night. For some weird reason, he really, really wants me to try skiing again. He's adamant about it, actually. He thinks that I have lost enough weight to try again. Actually, I haven't tried to water ski since I first did it in 1992, between my pregenancy with my son and daughter. I think I did try sometime after Megan was born, but I was so unfit that I couldn't get up and just gave up after that summer. I mostly just hang out on the boat and act as spotter when others are skiing.<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
<br />
So, that is my delema.<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll try.<br />
<br />
We'll see.<br />
<br />
I leave you with what we had for Dinner Saturday night......awesome kabobs!<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm a gamer.<br />
<br />
Nope, not PS3 or Wii or anything.<br />
<br />
I play an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)<br />
<br />
It's called Everquest 2.<br />
<br />
Have I ever played World of Warcraft? Maybe.....for like 5 minutes. It's so immature - at least in my opintion - compared to EQ2. Nice graphics, but not as deep a plot line. And a lot of younguns play WoW. Older people tend to drift towards EQ2.<br />
<br />
I just got my 7 year veteran reward on one of my accounts. I have 2 accounts and I "2 box". What that means is I play 2 accounts at one time. I do that when I am not in a group. I don't raid a whole lot. The politics of raiding annoy me.<br />
<br />
I have made some WONDERFUL online friends through EQ2. I have met a few in person. My closest online freinds are Erreck and Shelita - otherwise known as Crusher and Dayhumper (yeah...Dayhumper :p).<br />
<br />
Do I attribute this to my weight gain over the years? In part, yes, I do. Sitting in front of a computer every night when I get home from work was a huge part of my life.<br />
<br />
It affected my weight.<br />
<br />
It affected my relationship with my family.<br />
<br />
But, it's still a hobby.<br />
<br />
Just not so much now.<br />
<br />
Now it's just more of a weekend only thing, and even then, only for a few hours. After I workout or play tennis with the boy, or go play disk golf, or walk with my walking buddy.<br />
<br />
It's taken a back burner, rather than being high on my proiority list.<br />
<br />
Days used to be full of "What zones am I going to do tonight?, "How much plat did I make on the broker today?", "Who the hell invited that person to the guild?"<br />
<br />
Now, it's full of run, work, go to gym, walk, cook dinner, sleep. And very little EQ2 time.<br />
<br />
Do I miss it? <br />
<br />
Sometimes.<br />
<br />
But it's always still there waiting for me :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
This is Faldur. His real name is Mike and he's been away from the game for a long time due to health issues. We all miss him :(</div>

The sun goes down<br />
The stars come out<br />
And all that counts<br />
Is here and now<br />
My universe will never be the same<br />
I'm glad you came<br />
<br />
You cast a spell on me, spell on me<br />
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me<br />
And I decided you look well on me, well on me<br />
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me<br />
<br />
Turn the lights out now<br />
Now I'll take you by the hand<br />
Hand you another drink<br />
Drink it if you can<br />
Can you spend a little time,<br />
Time is slipping away,<br />
Away from us so stay,<br />
Stay with me I can make,<br />
Make you glad you came<br />
<br />
The sun goes down<br />
The stars come out<br />
And all that counts<br />
Is here and now<br />
My universe will never be the same<br />
I'm glad you came<br />
I'm glad you came<br />
<br />
You cast a spell on me, spell on me<br />
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me<br />
And I decided you look well on me, well on me<br />

Turn the lights out now<br />
Now I'll take you by the hand<br />

I'm glad you came<br />

I'm glad you came<br />

I'm glad you came<br />
I'm glad you came<br />
