I should have already returned from the grocery store, but I haven't even left the apartment yet. It's a beautiful sunny day with low humidity and just by looking out my window there aren't too many tourists jamming up the roads. I feel fantastic, but just have the same old problem I always do with getting my butt in gear. I've also been side tracked quite a bit by looking at boats for sale on line. The hubster and I have been boat shopping for ages, but it's starting to get serious now. Hopefully in about a year we will be living onboard whatever we decide to buy. Probably a fixer upper trawler in the 40 to 50 foot range. That's pretty small so I've got to get myself smaller in order to fit. Mr. 6'3" is going to take up too much space so Mrs. 5'7.5" is going to have to become littler. Not sure how that's going to happen since I don't happen to be Alice in Wonderland. I have a much more adventurous spirit than the Mr. I'll fly by the seat of my pants, but he needs quite a bit of security. Not to say he won't do some of the crazy stuff I want to do, but it takes considerable convincing from me. If it were up to me we would be living on a coffee plantation in Kona right now working and saving to go to New Zealand and work our way through the vineyards and orchards. I know these things won't happen without considerable cash in the bank so I spend too much time online dreaming. Sometimes I get him to let loose. I got him to go on a sailboat delivery down through the Caribbean islands stopping here and there along the way, move away from St Thomas and come to South Florida to work on yachts, which has become his career, and spend the summer working on the Yukon river between Canada and Alaska. Oh well, my life is pretty great as it is and I do have a wonderful man to share it with so really, no complaints.
Alright, enough of this rambling. I've got to get to the grocery store before I starve to death! Although, I might shrink just enough to fit comfortably on that boat if I put off food shopping for awhile.
What I'm grateful for today:
Having a life which is easier than so many other people on this crazy planet.
What I'm not grateful for today:
Having a life which is easier than so many other people and not doing anything to help anyone but myself which leads to massive guilt.

WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY!!!
Pretty good. Down to 182.4. The proof is in my image even though the 4 got cut off. I really like seeing the line in my weight history chart go down.
Here's the thing though; I stopped being so vigilant in just about everything. I stopped journaling my food. I haven't been drinking more than the recommended 64 ounces of water per day and some days it's less than that. I have cut down on my veggie consumption which in turn has lowered my carb intake. I do get some carbs from the tablespoon of natural peanut butter with splenda and cinnamon that I eat almost everyday. Having that little concoction really curbs my appetite and cinnamon supposedly has some mystical weight loss properties. I've been drinking almond milk in my coffee instead of half and half or whipping cream, although I've run out of it and did use whipping cream in my coffee this morning so it has a nice oil slick on the surface. I also haven't been walking at all other than at my new job and honestly that requires very little effort.
All of that being said, my measurements have not changed much in the past week. I seriously hold no stock in my measuring abilities.
Chest--41" -- 40.5" -- 39.5"--38" -- 38" -- 38"
Waist--36.5" -- 35" -- 35"--34" -- 33" -- 34"
Hips (ugh)--45.5" -- 44" -- 44.5"--44" -- 44" -- 43"
Left Thigh--27" -- 27" -- 27"--26" -- 26" -- 25"
Left Upper Arm (the guns)--13" -- 12.5" -- 12.5"--13" -- 12.5" -- 12.5
Total loss this week: 3.6 pounds and 1 inch.
What I'm grateful for:
A wonderful, handsome, funny, brave, strong, kind, smart, genuine, clever, gentle, supportive husband
The discovery of unsweetened almond milk
A comfy bed on my day off
An 11.6 pound weight loss in 6 weeks

I've gone and done it. I've gotten a job. It's supposed to be part-time, but so far it's been full-time during training. It was a bit accidental getting this job. I filled out an application, but really didn't think I'd hear anything. So far, it's been okay, but the hours will always be until 10pm but start either at 8 in the morning or noon. I really only wanted to work part-time during the day so I can be home at night with my husband as well as I am not a night person and usually find myself in bed by 9:30 or 10 at the latest. It's been an adjustment still working at 10. The job itself is super easy--get the passengers into the correct parking lot. Get them on the boat. Untie the boat. Move the ramp back which is stupid heavy so hopefully I'm building some muscles. Sit around while going to the island. Check the bathrooms every once in a while. Get the passengers off the boat/back on the boat and then do everything in reverse.
It's crazy boring. The pay is criminally low. But it gets me out of the house.
In the evening we do a dinner cruise so I am able to eat whatever I want. There's plenty of meat. BBQ ribs, chicken and shrimp with or without sauce so that's nice. But the sides are verboten. Baked beans, cole slaw, seasoned potatoes, squishy white bread rolls and chocolate cake for dessert. So, if I do eat there, the servers look at me like I'm nuts when I just ask for a little chicken and some shrimp and nothing else. My co-workers keep trying to get me to at least taste everything and always pushing the cake. They just don't get it. Mainly because the majority of them are young, thin men who still have many years to enjoy their skinny bodies before beer bellies set in. One of the new guys, who started the same day as me, also works as a personal trainer so he's been really nice to me about the food. He even shared his almonds with me yesterday. The ladies in the ticket office managed to band together and get him hired because he is really easy on the eyes. Our first night out, some girl on the boat gave him her phone number and e-mail and another older woman wouldn't stop taking photos of him. I went over to her and told her that the first five pictures were free, but each additional would cost her a dollar. Hey! They don't pay us but a pittance, a girl's gotta hustle a buck where she can!
Well, I've just realized this journal entry has taken on a life of it's own. I had meant to write about the food that was free for me to eat and how I've resisted so far and what I'm going to do about keeping up my resistance, but that didn't happen so I think I better stop. I have stuff I need to do before I have to go to work like find some food to take with me that doesn't need refrigeration since there isn't any on the boat and it does get quite warm.
Hope everyone is having a great week. I hope to catch up with you all soon!
