Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 01 September 2023

I think I might need a diet buddy. Someone asked about Noom yesterday and I've tried it and quit it. Didn't see a ton of results. I think it's because you have to be in the right mindset and personally I need someone who will slap cupcakes out of my hands. The other tricky part is sometimes I just don't like people. My job is stressful. I manage people which is basically being a mom at work only to come home and be a mom at home. I spend 80% of my day either telling someone no, getting them something, asking them to do something only to be ignored or listening to them tell me they know more than me.. when they don't. So some days I just don't want to people. So IF I can find a cupcake slapper that cupcake slapper has to realize that I may hide from them in the bathroom. Which used to be a safe spot but the boys figured out my hiding spot so now they come to the bathroom door to ask for things. Or they linger outside in the hallway so you have zero privacy. Can I train a puppy to be a cupcake slapper? That might be better.

Today's whys / inspirations / insane ramblings are:

- St. Lucia. Before we had a challenging year the BF was thinking about a trip to St. Lucia but the cost was a bit outside our range at the time. Next year is our 5 yrs of putting up with one another anniversary. I'm not huge on anniversaries. It's one more day for me to forget. BUT. A romantic couples vacation sounds like an AMAZING idea. Feeling good in my swimsuit while spending the day with BF at a swim up bar sounds amazing.. So from now until next July it's challenge swimsuit time. Oh and not eating out so I can save every penny towards the trip.

- Because my arms wave. Sometimes I don't want them to wave. Sometimes I just want to pick something up. My arm still feels the need to wave to people. Sometimes it's like ocean waves. See I can lift my arms straight out right now and wave. Now my co-workers are looking at me weird.

- Because my calves have a muffin top. If I wear my muck boots I have a muffin top. WTF.. only I would have muffin top calves.
