The Book and WW

I started reading the book Skinny B**** last week. I have heard mixed reviews. Let's just say I will stick to WW where I can still eat cheese. They do have some good points and they are down right harsh in some ways. But some things they talk about I have never really thought of. However, my goal for last week was to start small. I did by just making sure I ate healthy. I tend to do better with goals. My goal this week is to track my points for WW at least 3 days this week. I have been so bad about tracking my points. However, I did lose weight this week and that made me smile. Right now I am sitting under my down blanket watching a Christmas vacation and thinking about how I wish it would snow for Christmas. A girl can dream right!

Feeling blah today

I feel blah today. I could name a million reasons why. I will spare you the reasons. Well, maybe not. How about I am just an emotional person. How about I just had surgery, my own home needs a lot of work, I need to get off of my lazy bum and fix it up. How about I have not gained or lost weight in 3, repeat, 3 weeks. Some would say that is a good thing some would say try harder. Well, this chic is not happy. You know that point of unhappy where you feel not so sexy. That is the point I reached. I feel fat, ugly and not so sexy. It does not help I can't work out for 2 weeks. Two whole weeks of no exertion. Hmmm, what is a girl to do for 2 whole weeks. Well, I went to Barnes and Noble and bought the book Skinny Bitch. Yep, not that it is going to make me feel better. My next question is since moving I have had an awful time trying to stay on weight watchers. Weight watchers and I have been a roller coaster lately. One day I am going up and the next I am plummeting down so fast I can't think. Before I know it I have crammed a brownie and coke in my tummy and just gained the 2 pounds I had previously lost. I wonder why I can't keep on track, get organized (which I am usually). I want to know where my mojo is. I need my mojo. HELP!!!!!

Our Annual Christmas Tree Tradition

Well, after being laid up on the couch for 2 days we decided to take a drive out to east Texas and get our Christmas tree. Mr. Guru has rules when it comes to certain stuff and Christmas trees fall into the rule category. He says, "if you do not do it now then what will make you do it when you have kids". I have no point to argue so I just agree with him. This was our second year as a married couple to do this and I see this being a lifelong tradition. I totally love starting traditions, especially since my side of the family is divorced and all traditions there are long gone. Kinda sad, I might say. I am glad that we can make our own traditions that will last a lifetime. Please excuse my lovely look in the photo and just remember I had surgery 2 days ago.

Yesterday

Yesterday was my first surgery in 9 years. My last surgery was about 9 years ago and it was an appendectomy. It was an emergency surgery and I woke up violently after surgery. As you can imagine I was real nervous. I think I was more nervous because I was having the surgery at the hospital I work at. I did not want to be that bad patient or say anything I should not. Some people act funny with drugs on board. I think I did real good though. I went in to have a cyst removed. I woke up with no pain, an extreme headache and a little nausea. My wonderful nurse took great care of me and my husband took over once we got home. However, Mr. Guru did happen to get a before and after picture. So here I am in all my glory!

Busy Week

(Last Year's Photo)
Last week was crazy for me and Mr. Guru. I worked every night until 7 or later. Wednesday night was the worst and I worked until 10:20 p.m. It was pure craziness! Luckily I had both Thursday and Friday off. I was on call so I was not allowed to go very far. I did enjoy a calm, quiet Thanksgiving though. Let me just say I love spending time with family but it was nice just to be with my hubby. We watched Christmas movies all day on Thursday and it was great! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Soon, we will be doing this but with just the hubby and I!

Let's talk about love handles

Let's talk about love handles. I am so not embarrassed to admit that my biggest area I need to lose weight in is my abdomen. I seem to pack on the pounds especially in my love handle area. I decided I needed a little advice on how to lose my love handles. Of course diet and exercise are key but I want some tips that some of you may have! I have very long legs and a short torso so I really need lots of tips. I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!

Prenuptial- for or against

Let's talk about prenuptial agreements for a bit. Would you or wouldn't you sign one? The only reason I ask is because I know someone who is in a marriage were her husband had her sign one weeks before they got married. She did not even know he was going to do it until he pulled out the paperwork. We were talking and I was in shock that she even signed it. Ever since she has signed it, she has felt like she has a price tag on her forehead stating she is only worth X amount of dollars. I know, I know she signed it but that brings up my topic today. Do you agree with them with everyday marriages. I am not talking about celebrity marriages where millions are involved. I am just talking about every day people. You and me. I told Mr. Guru that I am against them 100% percent. I have a million reasons why and could write a book but I will not bore you with them. I am interested to hear what you guys think!
