Amanda's Diary

Oops sorry girls, I'm around still...I forgot all about my diary. LOL What a dork I am :)

Well for the weekend my diet wasn't great but it definitely could have been worse. I got my fair share of exercise in, that's for sure.

The hotel that we stayed in was brand new, so it was really really nice! A nice king size bed, fridge, microwave, nice desk, table, couch, huge bathroom (and shower hehehe)! We had a blast at Cedar Point on Friday night. We went on Saturday too and it was so packed! I've never seen it so busy in my life!!! Not even back in the years in the middle of summer! So we left, watched a movie, and came back thinking it might clear out later in the day. We went to go through the Fright Zone and it was so busy that they regulated it to one way traffic...at that point we decided to leave LOL there were actually cops there stopping people from walking in the other direction. So yeah we left early.

Oh yeah my mom called and was asking where I was...there was a riot in Toledo so my brother had called her and asked her if I was in Toledo, she said yeah. So he was all worried and stuff, but we were actually in Sandusky and they had a 8:00 curfew for the city of Toledo so by the time we got back everyone was in.

My diet has been rough but I'm trucking along. The best part though and I'm so proud of myself....is that I've really been exercising! I really love my new dance video. Oh and everytime I go to the bathroom at work, I do 50 jumping jacks and some lunges. LOL I'm so silly I know but it helps me stay motivated and keeps me moving throughout the day. I have a desk job so sitting here at the computer for 8 hrs tends to wear on you a bit.
 
that is SO awesome about your potty break workouts =) it IS a great way to get your blood flowing and pick up your heart rate just that little bit... Way to go!!!!
 
alright chica... I know you are busy, but get back here!! WE MISS YOU!!! =) heehee j/k - I totally understand being busy... Hope that you have been doing awesome this week - can't wait to find out about your sucesses on Friday!!!
 
Thanks girls! I SOOOO needed you to pull me back in. Things have been so crazy busy here lately I've just let myself go. I haven't made time for anything other than what is on my crazy schedule...so ofcourse exercise and eating decent meals has been just out of the question. Fast food ugh it's killing me.I haven't taken the time for myself and it's time I get back to that. I have to make myself #1 on my list and that's starting again now. Thanks so much girls, such a rough road but one I've got to travel. I want to leave work right now and go work my ass off. LOL! I guess that's not an option but it's really what I'd like to do.

I'm in a wedding this weekend. Tomorrow I'm gettingmy eyebrows waxed ugh the pain. Then Friday I'm taking a 1/2 day at work and picking up my dress, getting a manicure with the other girls in the wedding and then the rehearsal and dinner. Saturday of course is the usual wedding stuff, hair and then the wedding and reception.
I'm really excited for my friend's wedding but in a way I'll be glad when it's done, I need time to concentrate on ME.

So Far So Good

Well I'm feeling pretty good today really. It's a good first day back...so far :)

This is the update:

Water: appx. 40 oz

Food: Nutri Grain Bar (Breakfast)
Chicken Salad
and I'm going to have some tuna fish here shortly

I've been doing my little bit of exercise on each bathroom run. So far it's added up to: 60 Lunges and 150 Jumping Jacks :D

I'm hoping to hit the gym tonight with Greg. I really wanted to play racquetball but apparently he doesn't find that fun anymore. I don't know, I'm kind of irritated in a strange way. He wants me to join the rec center at his university. He wants to start losing weight, and the only way he'll go work out is if I go with him (because he knows then I make him go, otherwise he'll find an excuse not to if he's by himself). Ok so I want to join so that we'll both go but he doesn't want to play racquetball. I told him I'm not going to join if he won't play racquetball because otherwise I could join somewhere else for a heck of a lot cheaper. The point inme going there was so I don't have to pay extra for racquetball like you do at the YMCA. So I asked him about it and he just says "we'll see" I'm like no I'm not paying my money until I know it's going to be worth it for me. UGH! LOL It's so silly but it frustrates me. Where's the compromise?
 
OK So I'm seriously stressed today! Thanks girl, he finally said that he would play racquetball with me, but just not all the time. Last night was not good...I did good through the day but then I ate at night because I was upset/stressed/angry. So here's the story....

My cousin called me last night at 8:30. She left a voice mail on my phone saying that she didn't realize Cassie's wedding was this weekend and that they were planning on going to Gatlinburg, TN this weekend. SOOOO she can't do my hair. Keep in mind the wedding is on Saturday so she basically gave me a day notice to try and find someone else! In the end of her message she said "I'm so sorry, please call me back and please don't hate me." I am sooooo angry right now! I'm getting off at noon today and I have so much other stuff to do. Now I don't even have anyone to do my hair!!! My mom is making calls for me this morning to try and get me in somewhere. Another lady that has done my hair can't do it, we already asked her last night. So there's another girl who has cutmy hair before and we were going to ask her but when we got her number from my sis in law she said that Dawn doesn't do up-do's. My mom is going to call her anyway and ask her since it's an emergency. I don't even know what to say, I can't believe she's doing this to me. ARGH!!!!
 
Awww sweetie, I wish I was there, I would give you the best up-do. I can't believe your cousin just realized at 8:30 last night. You should call the other girls in the wedding and see where they're getting their hair done, one of their cosmetologist might be able to squeeze you especially if you tell them your situation. I know that's happened to me a few times when I was in a salon. I couldn't do the most elaborate up-do on them because of time but I did manage to do something. Regardless if you find somebody or not you're going to look beautiful. Is the bride requiring an up-do because you have such pretty hair maybe throw some hot rollers in it and leave it down, that would be beautiful on you. Gosh I wish I was there for you. Let me know if I can do anything to help. Don't stress out, it will work out and you're going to look beautiful. :D
