August is gone!!

Ya, so, I completely missed the month of August!

I spend my winters looking forward to the summer...living in Winnipeg, it's kind of a given that MOST people look forward to summer as you run to your car in -40 degree weather (yes, that's MINUS 40), which by the way, when you include the "wind chill factor" it's more like -52!!!

This summer has gone by so fast. It was a hot and dry one, but man, it's gone by so fast.

The students are back, my boss is back...well for this week anyway...then off to Japan for the month, the instructors are back full swing...and my email inbox is getting FULL at work. All signs that my luxury life of 10am mornings and 3pm quitting time is over.

I love the fall too though. The winter for me is a blah time, then the spring hits and I seem to be running until July...then July and August hit and we are so busy trying to jam pack the summer, that Fall is my "get my life back in order and organized" time. It's also the time that lose the most weight, get my finances back on track, and seem to find my brain!

Here is my abi funny:

I have been weight watchering if for about two years now...trying to get to goal, but more or less just maintaining where I am at. I'd lost a total of 50 pounds and was 20 pounds away from goal...then the month of May hit, and a week long trip to Vancouver where restaurant food and Mocha cappuccino's were my best friends. Then June, July and August came...Summer is never good for losing weight for me..it's too hot to cook, and my laziness kicks in full gear - so eating out becomes our means for meals...needless to say, the losing weight factor became a "gaining" weight factor and now I have to spend the ENTIRE fall trying to lose what I gained over the summer.

Wednesdays are the days I weigh in. The past two weeks I've been working really hard at getting back on track. I went and weighed in expecting to have stayed the same, as I did eat out a few times that week - one of which was at the Keg. I stepped on the scale and up TWO FRIGGING POUNDS! When looking back at the week, I really shouldn't have been this surprised...but it's disappointing that it takes so much frigging hard work to lose the weight but one chocolate bar adds a pound! Why can't one carrot take off a pound? Why can't it work that way? Why do you have to starve for a week and sweat until your clothes stick to you in order to lose that one pound?

Anyway, needless to say I was a tad bit disappointed when I got home. Upon my stating that I was never going to go back, that I had officially given up and am fat; abi said:

"you have to go back to weight watchers"

"why do I have to go back abi?"

"because, when you are fat, you have
to go to weight watchers"

So, there you have it...I guess I'm back at it!!
