Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 27 April 2015

185.6 likes me it really likes me! It likes me so much it decided to stay around for another week. Which really.. is ok with me. It isn't 190.something. Heck it isn't 189. I'm beginning to like 185.6 back. Sure I'd like to see something lower but at least it isn't something like 186.6. Plus I get the feeling this week will show real progress because I'm eating on a budget. Paying two sitters for the week will do that to you. So.. diet by lack of ability to buy extra junk. I'm not positive but I think this will be highly successful. The vending machine and the cafe will miss me but my butt will shrink. I'm all about the butt shrinkage. Plus this means the boys are with the new sitter who they seem to love which is one less stresser for me and.. stress makes big butts. So this mean's my butt should go down at least 1 size. This is my theory and I'm sticking to it. No money + less stress = smaller butt. It also means less coffee so forgive me if I'm completely off my rocker.

This weekend I didn't get the chance to workout. I did get the chance to do chores, watch a bull calf be born, cuddle with a sick baby, and vacuum the house 349 times in an attempt to combat whatever that was I kept stepping on and convinced the preteen I was mentally insane because I think I asked her 352 times if she felt anything. Whatever I was doing it worked because despite not eating the greatest I didn't gain. I didn't gain. I didn't gain!

You know you've eaten badly when you jump for joy and yell I didn't gain! Which your husband hears through the bathroom door... and he isn't used to hearing you all excited through the bathroom door unless your preggers so he gets all nervous and almost has a breakdown. Which really... was ok because I had to tell him I used up all the gas for the barn last night and he was out this morning for morning chores for things like the feed cart and the bedding chopper... Sorry honey! Really though.. I have a gigantic bruise on my thigh from the elevator because I did his chores while he was in a field with little man plowing last night. Granted I got it by walking smack dab into the elevator but we won't focus on that part.

Update: I just found out this morning that if I can lose 5.6 lbs by the end of June I will have met my goal I set at work. I already earned the $300 gift card for losing 10% but now I want to reach the goal I set too. I think if I manage to do this then I've earned myself a steak dinner.
