I think the flu may have avoided me! (knocking on wood)I feel so much better today.Still have not exercised on my treadmill . Been 3 days now? I miss it. My legs arent in pain today, but have been painting the loft for 4 hours, and am just too tired, counting that as my workout, lot of ladder climbing..I will get some pictures soon I think i might have a picture of the bathroom though, maybe you all can help me with colors. Yep here it is.. The Tub is a peach color, and tiles are white with peach.

ooooo So today im in this happy mood, my husband comes home from work, we were watching some tv and i wanted to tell him about my almost 2 lbs loss this week..so i told him " I lost some more weight! with excitement..He looks at me and just smiles..what was that supposed to be? i thought maybe i would hear a "good for you" or im happy for you argh! it looked more like a "yeah whatever, for how long will this last"

I know deep inside he doesnt care of my dieting, because he doesnt believe in me losing this weight..I can almost read his mind.."shes going to quit like she always does"
GGrrr

I'll show him!!!!!

On top of this all.I just realized that he was the one who was making me diet in the first place..this goes a few months back.

Every day i heard, you should eat some fruits, all you eat is junk, your going to be obese in the next 10 years, stop eating at night, i never see you drinking water, how about some salad?

how about complimenting me now? with all these fruits i eat? veggies? everyday! all i drink is water! he offered me a can of soda yesterday!!! a test?
im on my treadmill every night while he is watching his movies. Its like hes not noticing this change in my life.

sorry i need to vent!! i just want to kick him now while hes sleeping

you just vent girl

i completely understand. my mom acts the same way and so are my friends...like 'no way she's sticking to it'...but for the first time ever i didn't have this urge to show them. i did get upset and i angry and told them that i don't deserve that kind of attitude, and that they should show some support.

so i'm gonna say what he had to say: i think you're doing a wonderful job and whoooo hooo for some more weight lost!

Lena

So my husband tried to make me eat pizza, and i said no.. Hes like you dont want pizza?? we havent had any in ages! i said NO i am on a diet..

Apparently he didnt know i was on a diet.. How can you not notice?? and...i told him i was on a diet 2 weeks ago. he must have not been listening..

I told him i wouldn't eat the pizza, and suggested popeyes instead..(bad idea) i could have had a slice of pizza instead..

Menu today..BAD BAD BAD.THOSE DARN BISCUITS! I wouldnt have thought they were so fattening and high in calories!!! oops well we learn from our mistakes. I will be on my treadmill tonite for a very long time
