Gratitude Day 276

Wed, 22 May 2013 23:58:56 -0400

I am thankful for being done with the harder part of the big project of the week, and that it was received well by all audiences.
I’m thankful for having a brother who likes talking to me. He’s pretty much the best.
I am thankful for Ram meeting me for celebratory ice cream. Diet is on the outs this week, which is a bummer for me.
I’m thankful for only having to watch mad men and not live it. I know I’ve said that before but every time I watch it, jeez.
I’m thankful for comfy pajama pants.

Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that this image in no way endorses a belief in the “JIF” pronunciation.

Yeah, can I talk about how not okay I am with this?

Looking for a job

Tue, 21 May 2013 23:47:55 -0400

(Not for real, since I love mine, but it’s good to just browse sometimes to see what I’m ever qualified for/if I know someone who might like it)

Design jobs: either 0, or UX/Product design that I’m not qualified for.
Tech/Programming Jobs: 1000+

AKA, my fiance could find a job on the MOON faster than I could find a new position elsewhere.

I picked the wrong field.

I’m thankful for the nights where you stay late at work, but you’re with a good group of people so the time goes by faster.
I’m thankful that I am totally KILLING it on this project at work, even if it does mean a couple late nights.
I’m thankful for the klondike bars in my fridge and for the one I just inhaled.
I’m thankful for still loving where I work.
I’m thankful for “early dismissal” on Friday. It’s really the little things.

I pulled at 13 hour day at work today.
I’m not even mad. I just wanna brag about it.

Except the going in early again tomorrow part.
Meh.

PS, thank you Callan and Akiko for being so sweet. I miss you both. <3

I’m thankful for phone calls with my mom on the way home from work. Sometimes I catch her in a bad mood, and I just hope that maybe my phone call cheered her up a little.
I’m thankful for game nights with friends
I’m thankful for killing it with yoga on Saturday night. Makes up for doing pretty badly tonight.
I’m thankful for my boss giving me a project for me to own through and through, and having faith enough in me that I’ll get it done and do it right. I’m only an art director, that’s a privilege.
I’m thankful for music with no words when I need to concentrate
I’m thankful for a good batch of cupcakes
I’m thankful for Ram loving me, fat or not. God knows I don’t love myself.
I’m thankful for fun shiny blue nail polish.
I’m thankful for ikea trips.
I’m thankful for all of my bridesmaids because they’re the only reason (plus my fiance) that I’m excited for the wedding right now.
I’m thankful for credit cards letting me pay the bill in segments.
I’m thankful for affectionate kitties.
I’m thankful for finally going grocery shopping this weekend.
I’m thankful for Ram making a delicious and hearty dinner.
I’m thankful that somehow I managed to stay under my calories today. Wanna know what sucks? When I started trying to lose weight originally 3+ years ago now, my calorie limit for the day was 1800. Now it’s 1600, and I don’t feel like it’s getting the job done fast enough. I am so nervous about pictures this weekend.

Someone just tell me that my engagement photos are going to come out fine and I just need to shut up about it.

Cause really. My face still looks horrible. I don’t want to have a ton of fat faced photos.

I’m so mad. But more upset, because I waited too long to make changes to my life.

Yoga Time

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:18:00 -0400

Leave me messages about one of the following things:

How angry/upset you are about Doctor Who, Supernatural, The Office or Parks and Rec’s finales and how they won’t be back until the fall (minus the office, of course).
How yoga is going to help me lose weight, and other low-impact things I can do without leaving my apartment/having a gym membership.
How infographics have changed or impacted your life.
What you think of my pictures (on my baking blog) and how I can improve on them.
How your monday went.

Please please please!! :)

It’s been 22 days since I started my newest weight loss...

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:16:10 -0400

It’s been 22 days since I started my newest weight loss saga. Here’s what’s happened since then:

I have lost 6 pounds
I’ve done yoga anywhere between once to twice a week, still haven’t made it up to 3x
I’ve EASILY drank anywhere between 7-12 cups of water in a day. I try to refill about a 20oz drinking cup as many times as I can muster, and I limit myself to one soda a day if any.
(Minus this week, which was a bit insane) I’ve been bringing my lunch and my breakfast, to avoid going out where I don’t have as much control over my calorie intake. Though this week, since I went out a lot, I avoided high calorie drinks and snacking if I could.
LOOK MY CHIN IS COMING BACK. I hope it’s not just me seeing that. And yeah I’m wearing make up in the picture I just took and not the other one, but it’s okay.
I’ve been going for walks at least twice a week with people from work during lunches
I’ve taken the stairs at work AT LEAST twice a day (3 flights) and I don’t pant (as much, if at all) anymore when I get to the top.
We’ve had two volleyball games through work and my second one went MUCH better.

My self control has been so much better, I’m making an effort to eat better (yeah I had five guys and a couple cupcakes, nobody’s perfect), but I’ve made really decent strides in just a month. I’m hoping that I can lose 2 more pounds by the end of next week so I can -maybe- see a little more of that chin for my engagement photos on Sunday.

I’ve made decent changes in my daily routine, but I haven’t totally flipped it on it’s head, and I haven’t stopped eating candy and burgers. It’s just all in moderation. I was saying screw it every day and eating all this stuff. I do yoga, I don’t run, I walk. I try playing volleyball, and it’s pretty much only because it’s fun. I’ve never been active in my entire life, so it’s difficult to just all of a sudden add in exercise and want to stick with it. But I totally killed my yoga session tonight, and I’m happy about that.

I haven’t been at this weight since May 2012, so there’s a little bit of encouragement there. In the past year, I’ve gone up as much as 13 pounds at the highest weight I found myself at, but since I started this, it’s 6.

I’m excited. I’m seeing something happen. It’s great.

I’m thankful for going for a nice walk at the beach after work today!
I’m thankful for the Series Finale of The Office. It was extremely well done, made me cry and closed up a lot of storylines that needed closure. I was happy with it. Very happy. I’ll miss that show like hell.
I’m thankful for coworkers like Beth, who was so thankful and excited about the cupcakes I made for her. Like April and John, who were crazy thankful that they could eat the cupcakes since they were gluten free, and like everyone else, who came up to me and asked me for the recipe and how I did some things and how amazing they were. It warms my heart and fills it to the fullest, and I couldn’t be happier.
I’m thankful for long talks on the phone with Tim. I miss him a lot and wish that we still lived closer, but he’s the friend who you can pick up exactly where you left off with him, and it couldn’t be better that way.
I’m thankful for having time to figure out this whole “florist” thing, and it’s not all happening last minute. Flowers are so expensive…
