Next Moth Ima Try Harder With Weight Loss (I Hope)

Tomorrow is weigh in day. After eating this for a week. That would be spiced up butter fried chicken and beans with veggies.

I been literally sucking at it this year. I have only lost about 25 lbs so far. Should be up around 70 or so. But I been bad more than good. It's been an enjoyable ride though.

The worst thing is, I know I can get it done because last year I lost a lot more weight. In fact last year I dropped 73.4 lbs. I stupidly quoted 90 on YouTube in a comment today though and though "that ain't right" and looked it up - not was not right.

I got 25 weeks left in the time frame and if I don't mess it up yet again (over and over) I should be able to hit 50. Life is going to suck if I do, but it's possible.

First week was Mar. 31st 2017 last week will me Mar 23rd. 2018. See I started in the middle of a year. I got to stay the hell away from processed food and stop doing things like eating a big ass poutine. Not to mention a double bacon cheese burger from hell. Just got to be in control.

But sadly I am having a lot of impulse issues this last while and they are NOT going away until I have them chips, or that poutine or whatever.

Might skip the chicken next month and go all bean and veggies. See how I do with that and with luck no pizza or burgers... If I get 2 cans of lentils and a can of tomatoes and some frozen veggies I can eat all day on that. That would because of a good sale next week when I get paid would come out to only about $160 or $170 depending on how much coffee is at the time. Also toss in some spice mix to go with that.

So I should be good since I budget $250 for food. Chicken is normally $35 a box and most of the time I just need 1. BUT won't be getting any next month. Still got lots and it will be a treat now and then for a change of pace once a week.

    Are you tracking calories as you eat? I'm a HUGE impluse eater. If I want something, I want it now and I don't have a lot of will power to stop myself. One thing that has helped me A LOT is calorie counting. Physically seeing the calories I'm consuming has helped my impulse. I still have bad days. I went over board with mashed potatoes the other night because it's been so long since I've had them, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I only gained that two weeks when I was away and I stopped tracking my meals.

      No I don't track them. Most of the time it's the same 3 meals every day. I figured it out w years ago and if I stick to it I lose weight. But I had extra money and I went nuts. So... next month is try hard month. Also saving money for a tv so the snack fund is now gone. That should help.

SAID Did Not Handle It at All

Image
I'm actually extremely more sad than angry. I put a lot of energy into trying to get an advance, but it seems doomed to not happen, no matter how much I need it. Mar 13, 2024 I email SAID (disability in Saskatchewan). Mar 15, 2024 Left a voice mail. Mar 18, 2024 left another voice mail. Mar 20, 2024 got a call telling me they would process the advance on Mar 21, 2024. The deposit into my account should have been just after midnight on Mar 22, 2024. Well this is 6:46 am Mar 22, 2024 and I have left yet another voicemail. The money was never deposited OF COURSE. I need shoes SOON, but do you think I can get the government workers to do what they are being paid to do? Well, no I can't. I would pray that they get the message and it somehow magically gets deposited today before 1 pm. But I am rather sure this was the last push I needed to stop believing there is a God. I am really depressed right now and exhausted. The stress of them taking so dang long to even get back to me has le

Feeling Abandoned by the SAID Program (Saskatchewan Disability)

Image
"Saskatchewan Department of Human Services" is the closest translation to Saskatchewan Social Services Department I could get. But I made them a new logo. They are the ones who run the disability here in the province. I know someone is picking up for my working not working there anymore, but it's been a LONG time and no call from them at all. I sent an email request to the email I was told to send it to. I called the number twice after that to leave a message. This is not cool from email to now is 4 working days. In all that time surly, it's my turn to be handled? I'm very upset and it's literally making me sick. So some art therapy is in order I think. To be honest I've had it a LOT better with them than the medical system to say the least, but DANG, I'm stressed out to the max and I am getting frightened that something very bad has gone wrong like thy messed up and closed my file by mistake. It HAS happened to a friend, so don't think it's no

Medical Update (Disturbing Photo Warning)

Image
On Dec. 31, 2023 I was laying on the floor in my apartment for 7 hours after falling when I got too drunk. I wan not able to get up and it took some time for anyone to hear me calling for help. I find it amazing that the people on either side of me, or across the hall heard nothing, but the lady way down the hall did hear me. She called an ambulance for me and I was helped off the floor with use of an air bag designed just for this task. I was taken to the hospital and seen right away. When in the hospital I was advised I needed a CT scan of my brain right away, as I'm on blood thinners and they worried about bleeding into my brain, since I could not recall falling. The CT operator in the Moose Jaw hospital was not available and I had to be taken to Regina General to have the scan. Fortunately, I did not have any bleeding in my brain. I have to say, that after being on the floor for 7 hours, if I did, I'd be dead or a salad plate by the time I was found. But better to be cautio
