This Whovian Is Stalled

I haven't posted in a while. I started a post last weekend to proclaim that I was down half a pound but then work happened and I just have been way too busy to do much else. So I know I have been going down like .000002 of a pound every week but that seems INSANELY slow and I am getting discouraged. On top of that I am not eating very much at all. I have been taking in about 1400 calories and sometimes closer to 1200. I am not sure how to cut it back any further without just not eating another meal. (I cut breakfast back to about 200 cals). I see all of these other people dropping weight like crazy and keep thinking...do they just eat one small meal a day?

My metabolism is in the tank...this I know. 

Since this is Thanksgiving week AND I have my work Christmas Dinner party on Sunday (two big food events in a row) I am sure I wont drop any weight this weekend BUT I am going to try something new. I spent 2 hours last night making my food for today. Everything but dinner. 

1700 calories, 5-6 meals, clean eating. Now here is the issue. As I was making up the 4 things of Tupperware to bring to work with me two things occurred to me. One, I will need to just do the whole week of food prep on Sunday...I will NOT spend 2 hours a night making food for the next day (not even including dinner). Two, as a fat chick I should not be looking at this food thinking....

"HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO EAT ALL OF THIS?" 

You would think I would be all like....mmmmmmmm.....gruuuuub. No. 

I made my breakfast and was like..."I can't wait to try this it will be sooo yummy"

I made my....whatever the next meal is called and was like ..."Ok, this will be healthy...and good?"

I made my lunch and was like ...."Wait...when am I supposed to eat this?"

I made my ...whatever comes next and was like "Um, I will never be able to eat all of this. Didn't I just eat?"

I made my...no, I grabbed a can of gluten free chicken soup and thought ..."screw it, I don't have time to make homemade soup at 10pm when I have already been in the kitchen for 2 hours and I can guess that by the time I get to this meal tomorrow I am going to be so tired of eating all dang day that I probably will skip it and just wait the extra two hours and have a decent dinner. "

So I  know that it is not perfect...yet but I am going to give it a shot. So far I have had my breakfast and I am full and due to eat again in 40 min. Also, been having a little pain again. Not sure what that is about. 

GEEK GIRL

On a TOTALLY UNRELATED TOPIC(s). I got to Beta Test the new Elder Scrolls game this weekend. It is really great. They did a wonderful job of combining the feel of Skyrim with the interactivity of an MMO. It was still pretty buggy but they are getting there. I am sooooooo excited for this release. (And due to the NDA that is all I can say LOL)


Also...tonight...TONIGHT...DOCTOR WHO in the THEATER...huge event...GIANT! I am singing the Theme in my head now as I type --->


 I am giddy excited...and a little sad because it is time to say goodbye once again to another Doctor, whom I have grown to love, and I hate crying in the theater...but I will...a lot...like a baby. I am sure I will learn to love the new Doctor as I did every Doctor before but still....I don't like endings. 

I am telling you...seriously...if you have not seen this show, give it a chance. It does deal with "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" stuff so the plot is a bit chaotic but it is soooo good. Just jump in and give it some time. You will go from...what the heck is all the fuss about to singing the theme song (that has no words only music and sound effects. Go, watch. Well...after you finish reading. 




Something else I was planning on doing, but am a big total failure on all things time related right now, post my sisters drawings. I asked her to draw me some Thanksgiving pictures so I could write a funny little story, but I have not had any time to be creative these last couple of weeks. But, here they are for your viewing pleasure. If you think a fun little story post it in the comments. And for those who know my family, take note of how much the two "older" girls look like my Mother and Aunt Kim. LOL.

Week 5 WI

**Drumroll**

-0.2  OY. 

Hey crazy people. Welcome back:) I seem to trend with weight loss one week and nothing the next...I know .2 is something but still. . Hopefully this coming week will be another good sized loss. 

So I missed posting this on Thursday because I was at the doctors for hours. The good news is, I think we have answers now. IBS being treated with an anti-anxiety med. So far, 4 days in and almost no pain! I am so happy.

Before I jump into the story of one of the strangest things that has ever happened to me (and to most people I know) a little shameless promotion.

If you are diggin this blog please post, share, +1, like, pin, anything. Next week I am going to post some of my little sister's artwork and I would love to get a bunch of comments for her. 

ON TO THE FREAKY

Unwanted house guest. 

Mat and I being our sexy selves

My friend, Mat, used to come over once a week to hang out, drink and watch movies. This particular night we were watching Lord of the Rings and drinking Margaritas. That's not important but they were really good Margaritas.

It was late, like 1 am and suddenly there was a knock at my door. *Cue creepy music* Now, I was living in an apartment complex that consisted of 2 four-plex  buildings that faced each other. Most of the tenants were in their 80s+ and there was a little house behind us that had a history of drugs and domestic violence. 

A knock at 1 am meant something crazy was up. 

I looked out the peep hole and saw my newest and youngest neighbor wrapped in a blanket hunched at my door. She was so new that I had never even said hi to her, didn't know her name, but new she had a kid...who wasn't with her. I jumped into "Oh shit" mode and yanked the door open and took a step back into the house to allow her to escape into the house if needed.



She looks at me says "Hi" then ...
walks in and sits down in my living room. 
I am frozen holding the door. Mat has no idea and is already making polite conversation with "my friend" who is already trying to get him to come home with her. I make big eyes at him, screaming telepathically the Twilight Zone theme, and finally I introduce myself to her. 

Jaw: meet floor.

I spend the next 10 min trying to politely kick her out of my house and send her home to her 2 year old who was in the house alone but "it was ok because she is sleeping". She says she is too scared to walk back on her own (the apartments were about 10 yards apart) so I walk her back to her house tell her goodnight and head back. 

I...kid..you...NOT.

I get up the stairs to my apartment door, open it, turn around to close it and she is RIGHT...FRIGGIN...THERE. Like a very predictable ghost in a B rated horror movie...holding a beer. WHAT THE HELL? 

Another 10 min of her pulling on Mat's arm, foot, leg, anything she could get her hands on and telling him to come home with her because....ready?..."She has stuff..." 

*I'm sure you do honey and I am sure there is cream for it....moving on....* 

He politely says "This is my night to hang out with my friend Shawna so I am going to stay here with her." She comes back with a very drunken look at me and the words "She can come too..."

NO, No, No she can't and now it's time for you to go!!

I walked her home 3 times before she stopped coming back. 

A conversation with her the next morning resulted in the conclusion that she was drunk and bored and saw my light on so thought she would just come hang out at 1 am. I told her not to knock again unless it was an emergency.

So yeah....that happened. 

Freaks and Geek Part 1

Week 4 WI

**Drumroll**

Yahooo, -3.1 pounds since last week. Now to be fair there were a couple of days in the beginning of the week that I could not get food down due to pain but I have been eating much more this weekend (probably too much) and I am hurting a little less.  In fact I had 2 pain free days and that was due to (I believe) not really sitting down for 2 days. Not sure the connection but I will mention that to the doc this week. Also...I have been craving tuna salad like everyday this week...odd...On to lighter stuff...

So I am a little geeky...a little like dabble geeky...I play Magic the Gathering now and again, a little D&D, some MMOs, considering some Cosplay in the future, and other fun little geeky induglences here and there but my most favoritest, awesomest,indulgence ever is Doctor Who. Yuuuuummmmmy! If you have not seen this show yet finish this and then go watch it. Start with the 10th Doctor, if you try to start with the old school stuff you wont last. Give it a few episodes at least...or a season. You will love it :)

Anyway...I took a little quiz that showed up on my Facbook and thought ...maybe I will come back a companion...or ....oh NO what if I come back CASSANDRA?!?!

Moisturize me!!

I am the Tardis...*giddy*

• You are a creative soul and more than a little eccentric. You might say your relentless zest for life makes you BIGGER on the INSIDE! Impulsive and curious, you lead the Doctor where he needs to go and not necessarily where he wants to go. You're full of wanderlust, a romantic at heart and irresistibly sexy! Beware - your passion for raw adventure can make you forgetful. Please call home from time to time!

Now, this quiz is HARD....really...College Testing was easier than some of the choices I had to make for this thing. So, I took it again with my second choices and I came back being:

Adipose *lol'ing*

• You have a generous spirit, a sunny outlook and a dash of irreverence - the perfect recipe for attracting friends... and you are not in short supply! You're a natural entertainer, the life of the party, and you love to laugh, showing off your super-cute dimples. You also love chocolate. And colourful things. And fuzzy things. And, well, the list goes on and on...Beware - your tendency to seek out the best in everyone can make you a tad naïve!

So I think both are close to me but for those of you not yet familiar with The Doctor, The Adipose are the chunks of fat that leave the peoples bodies when they are taking the weight loss stuff and ...oh here just watch this. (sorry mobile people...UGH YouTube make it all mobile friendly)

So yeah...I came back as bound together FAT lol 

On to something new!!!

I don't know if you know but I seem to have the strangest interactions with people. It as if I have a neon "Freaks Welcome" sign over my head and can't find the switch. 

Anytime you add alcohol to this equation it just increases the oddity of it exponentially. 

Here are 2 examples of said strangeness (one mild and probably my own misunderstanding and another...less than mild and NOT my own...anything.) This will be in 2 parts because...who wants to read a ton and I have already written a lot?

READY?

The "Eyes" Have It.

Ok, so sometime this week...as I was feeling all gross and in pain...I got a compliment. Awwweee! The guy says to me: 

"You have beautiful blue eyes..." 

I respond quickly "Oh, thank you" to which he adds....

"Are they yours?"

...Um...


well...yeah...wait...you did say EYES right? 

Because, I am more than used to people asking if my boobs are my own or if they were "purchased" but I have never had someone ask if my EYES were my own. 

I immediately had a picture of going eye shopping like you do boob shopping. 

Boob shopping, it's a common thing...right? No? Ok, the cheese stands alone. 

ANYWAY...I had a mental picture of walking into an eye store with many sizes and colors and holding up different sizes to see how they would look on me. And, if you have read my previous ramblings, you know what a pain sizes are for me in general. 

It was later brought to my attention that he "probably" meant contacts...but then, you know....SAY THAT. 

"You have pretty eyes, do you wear colored contacts?" Makes a ton more sense then "Are they yours?" 

"No I bought them at an auction...they are rumored to be Marilyn Monroe's" 

Part 2 coming on THURSDAY..come back soon.
