A fresh start?!??!?!

Okay, so the bankruptcy hearing was Friday.  Lara and I went out to celibrate and went out to eat.  (I don’t know why celebrations are always eating).  So Saturday was my new start, new chapter.  I signed up at my favorite gym and went both days this weekend and then Monday came.  I ate breakfast at like 3 am…..and so by the time 9 rolled around I was hungry and I came to work ill prepared….so I ate my lunch and decided I would go out and get something later….well that is never good…..so to finish off my day I tried to convince myself that my allergies were bothering me so much that my throat hurt and I was getting “sick”…so this must mean I need ice cream….so crap…yesterday down the crapper….then I had one of my stomach aches last night (you wonder why) and I almost didnt make it in to work, but I decided to put the big girl panties on and go….sleep is highly overrated and well that led to poor eating decisions and laziness in the face of packing my lunch and the roll down the hill continues.  My goal for the day is to get to the gym this afternoon.  Just one thing to accomplish for today…

Hope all of my buddies are doing good!

It is almost over…

Well, tomorrow is tha day.  I got to bankruptcy court and swear that I am broke.  I hate going downtown more than the thought of doing this thing.  The lawyer said it is nothing to get uptight about, but I guess we will see.  I found out a way to keep my TV I just bought.  I bought it from Lack’s furniture and I would have to reaffirm it to keep it.  Basically sign a new contract after the hearing tomorrow so that it in effect would not be affected by the bankruptcy…but here was the snafu.  I had to get a new car to replace the one I am going to surrender and that is very hard to do when going through bankruptcy.  The bank is ultra concerned with whether or not I reaffirm anything.  They want everything to be wiped out.  So I sat the other day, kind of bummed by the fact that I would have to lose my TV.  It is one of the only “nice” things I have.  All of my furniture is hand me down….so I called the company yesterday and we are going to do a work around for it.  So YAY there.  I went yesterday to sign on the “new” car ….and they of course wanted another 200.00 in addition to the 400.00 I had already set aside for a down payment. I swear some of these folks don’t understand the bankruptcy concept; but I did it anyway…..so after tomorrow and Saturday when I go surrender my “old” car…it should be done with and I will be sooo happy. 

 On the weight loss side of things, I am up 4 POUNDS since last week and it is so frustrating.  I was finally on the downwards slide.  I was below 235 for the first time in a long time.  I will get my act together I will.

I hope all of my buddies are doing well.  I realized it was time to blog again when I am still getting comments on a blog that is 2 weeks old. 

Saturday musings

Happy Saturday everyone.  I am just hangin out with the dog doing nothing b/c gas prices just suck but anyway…..I have made a decision to be positive.  The meeting for my bankruptcy is on the 25th and then that will be over.  It is time to take control of me and my life.  I am going to focus on a weeklly goal instead of looking at the whole big picture all of the time.  I think maybe I get a little to overwhelmed by it.  My goal for the week is 2 pounds and everything to that end.

What up Peeps?

Well, I am still in Bankruptcy limbo.  I am driving my bankruptcy car (the one to replace the one I will have to surrender) and I have not signed a thing on it except that I am borrowing it., which is really annoying.  Just waiting for the whole process to finish up.  Next month should be the beginning of a better; smarter life.

I went to our Benefits fair on Tuesday (not by choice)….as the low woman on the HR totem pole, I had to go sit through all of the presentations.  So I actually learned something.  My Blue Cross plan has a weight loss incentive type program.  You log your workouts and earn points toward prizes…gift cards and such…this is gonna be awesome.  They have me starting off slow and maybe that is what I need…I have been on and off (mostly off) for quite a while now and I am DAMN out of shape.  So this is an exciting new opportunity…

I am still without internet at home and had to turn over my team for a couple of months….Thanks for all of you Diamonds picking up the slack. 

Hope everyone is doing well!
