I know it is the beginning of February so my year is not starting with the calendar. But I am usually late.
I have had my vivofit since September. It was my bday present to myself. However, yesterday I finally took the time to figure out how to sync it up to my phone and MyFitness Pal. This morning I did a weigh in and updated it on my MFP and TADA...it was instantly updated on my VivoFit. That kind of stuff amazes me. I am just flumoxed by the whole 'sync' thing. It is cool and scary all at once.
I just found out about My Google Activity this weekend so I have been checking my laptop and phone on it and shutting things down and deleting things. Google does not need to gather information on me. BUT, at least I understand how I would talk to someone on my phone about something and then ads would pop up on my computer or phone while I am browsing that goes with my PHONE CONVERSATION.
Anyway, back to the weigh in...should someone get quite so excited over losing a whole 0.6 of a pound?
My daughter, who is all about the losing weight and getting in shape and eating NOT crap, bought me an under the desk cycle for Christmas. I had put it on my list. She, of course, bless her little heart, bought it. I LOVE it. I had to get rid of the rolling chair, though.
And now a FB site that I was added to that everyone shares their low carb/no sugar recipes/meals on. It does give me some other ideas. However, the really big thing for me is just trying to stay away from bread and pasta.
I sat and watched 'Going the Distance' and for the first time in a long time I actually thought about wanting a new relationship. And everything that goes with it. But I also realized it will mean I need to get busy working on myself, inside and out. Who wants someone that isn't happy with themselves?
On my FB page, when I opened it up this morning was one of those "memories" posts. It is from 4 years ago...4 years. It was about how I was up baking after 11 p.m. at night because Douche had told me one of his co-workers was having a bday and he felt sorry for him because he is divorced and he asked me if I could bake some cupcakes for him to take to work. I don't even remember that! LOL But, yeah, I did a lot of that kind of stuff. I remember the time I made a huge huge batch of potato salad for him to take for a potluck lunch. It is what he wanted so I did it. And it clogged up our pipes because he shoved the skins all into the garbage disposal at the same time.
Hey,...I'm divorced. No one is baking ME cupcakes. Not that I could eat them now. *sigh*
I sat and really, honestly played the memories of our 25 years together through my brain and 99.9% of the GOOD memories were all family. I only have maybe 2 good memories of just the 2 of us. So, there ya go.
Last night was a real gut laugh. I got upset because there was this loud noise coming from the wall in which my shower pipes were. I looked down stairs and there was not a water leak anywhere. I tried shutting off the water, the breakers...nothing made the noise stop. I could not figure it out until I stepped into the shower and was really listening. Turns out, my spinning scrub brush that had not worked for days had come on. It was sitting on top of the ceramic soap dish that is attached to the ceramic tile walls...and it was causing a loud noise. sheesh. And I was ready to take a hammer to the pantry wall (on the other side of the shower) just to get in there and find out what the problem was.
I have also decided to quit the college classes for the Intervention Specialist. And I feel GREAT! Less stress, and I don't really think it was what I wanted. I like the job I have and hope that I might be able to move up in the company or, at the least, keep the job that I have until I retire. I am looking at other part-time online work that I can do to supplement my income. (if anyone knows of anything, give a girl a holla. yes,..yes I just typed that).
So, today is the first day of the best rest of my life. Let's be careful out there. And make good choices.
