Hi guys! Happy Thursday! How are you guys? Are you having a good day? I am. But boy am I TIRED! I do
n’t know why. It’s not like I went to bed extra late last night or anything. I find it hard to shut off my brain lately though. Lots of thoughts of painting and appliances and moving and jobs and eating and working out and… well, you get it, LOTS of thoughts running through my head, ALL the time. I think that’s why I haven’t been sleeping great lately. Makes for one tired Lindsay during the day at work. I’m just trying to make it through. It doesn’t help that my job is not stimulating AT ALL. And speaking of jobs, I still haven’t heard if I got the one I interviewed for last week. And I hate to be a downer, but I have a bad feeling. I hope I’m wrong… but I just don’t think I got it. Sigh… that sucks. I need a new job.
Last night, Adam and I went out looking at appliances. I need a new washer and dryer and a new refrigerator for my new house… all I kept thinking the whole time we were looking was this:
Man! NOTHING is cheap. I mean, I KNEW it wasn’t going to be cheap-cheap. But $1,200 for a refrigerator!!?!? I wouldn’t have any money left to put anything IN that lovely, expensive refrigerator. We did find one we kind of like. It’s about $900 – so that might not be SO bad… but let’s not forget I need a washer and dryer. Ecckk! I need a money tree. I wonder where I can find me one of those… any ideas, please let me know. 
So things on the health front are good. I’ve been making good choices food-wise today. I actually jumped on to blog RIGHT NOW because I was having chocolate cravings, real bad, so I thought I would occupy my mind for a bit to see if it would subside. It did, until just now when I started talking about it again – okay, changing subject! No more chocolate!!!
Tonight, I think Adam and I are headed back to the gym. He might not work out, just soak in the hot tub, because he is still SUPER sore from boot camp. I feel good. I mean, yes, my abs and legs hurt a bit, but not enough to keep me out of the gym… so that’s where I’ll be this evening. Hopefully this will help get my energy levels back up where they belong. When I was consistently working out, I never felt this tired. I’ve been slacking on the exercise front lately and I’m sure that’s the reason my energy is way down. Time to change that. I just hope I’m not getting sick. This weekend, I plan to relax and recuperate so I don’t get sick because I close in 12 days, 22 hours, 38 minutes, and 39, 38, 37 seconds!!!!! I have no time to get sick.
Thank you VERY much friends for all of the “congratulations” and such on my post about Boot Camp. I encourage you to try it if you’ve been thinking about it. I realize it sounds scary (I THOUGHT about going for MONTHS before I actually just sucked it up and went!) but really, you can do it! If I can do it, you can do it.
One thing I did notice myself doing a lot during Boot Camp was saying “Ughh… I can’t do this!” I seriously must have said that about 25 times (IN AN HOUR!) That pisses me off. Because I CAN DO THIS. I can do anything I put my mind to. It might be hard and I might swear to myself the whole way through it, but I really need to stop with the “I can’t do this” BS – I can do this. I can do anything. Next week when we go, I am going to try REALLY hard not to say that. I’ll try hard not to think it either, but sometimes, that’s a little harder to control! Haha I didn’t tell you guys this, but Adam was very sweet after we finished Boot Camp… and well, even DURING Boot Camp. I think he told me about 10 times, “You’re doing good!”, “Good job, babe!”, “You did really good!”, etc. etc. etc. Sometimes followed by a sneaky little smooch (he’s not big on PDA at all, so that was cute . That felt really nice. I know he’s proud of me, to hear him say it, EVEN BETTER!
So, normally, at this point, I would tell you to make sure to check back for my weigh in tomorrow, but as you know – I tossed out the scale for the week and let me tell you – I FEEL GREAT!!! I have not cheated once. I really am just going to give myself this week as a break from the scale and hopefully I will regain some of my sanity and I when I return to the scale I will weigh in ONCE A WEEK ONLY until I hit maintenance. That’s my goal. We’ll see if I can stick to that. Either way, I feel great about not letting that stupid little (ok, BIG) number haunt me.
Well my friends, I hope you’ve been having an amazing day. I think I’m gonna
go find something highly caffeinated so I don’t fall asleep at my desk… wish me luck though… I can feel the eye lids drooping and it’s only 3:07 in the afternoon! Uh oh, this is going to be a long 2 more hours!
Have a super fantastic evening my friends. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement, I don’t know how I could do this without you guys! You’re the best. Thank you.
xoxo
Lindsay
