Amanda's Diary

Awww! I have a hamster too! (and a cat and a fish...I have Dr.Doolittle syndrome) Her name is Little Rhonda (she's not so little though-she's a big mama!) She's super-cool. I hope little Gizmo likes his new home!

And congrats on the weight loss, how exciting! You're doing great. Keep it up.

Here's a list of foods you and Gizmo can both enjoy:
Apples
Cheerios
Carrots
Dried fruit
Nuts (in moderation)
Berries
 
Wow! I am so happy for you. You must be proud of yourself!

Thanks so much ladies! You're all awesome with all the support! :) I was definitely happy and proud!

Korrie~ Thanks so much hun! I'm sorry that you're having such a rough time. Don't be jealous, you can do it too! I know you can!

Funky~ I love Gizmo. I haven't had a pet in a long time. He's going to stay at Greg's most of the time but we're sharing him. lol I'm so excited. I held him for the first time yesterday. He's still pretty sketchy about those "big hands" lol! He loves his new home though. Loves to run in the wheel, running and climbing all over his cage and playscape, and of course his run-about ball. Thanks for the list of foods that Gizmo can enjoy with me.

Scrappy~ Thank you, I am proud. :)

I couldn't do any of this without all of you lovely people supporting me. You're all the best!

I went back to the gym today!!!! The first time since I got sick! :) Yippeeeee! I ran for 35 minutes on the elliptical (can't believe it!!!) :eek:
 
LOL I had a feeling that question might come up. It's a little chocolate snack cake with cream in the middle. Like a twinkie but chocolate with a little frosting. :) I hadn't had one in a really long time and wanted the chocolate and needed the calories lol so it was pretty good.(They're made by Hostess, I believe). Chocolate cupcakes are better though lol!!

1/2 Serving Cashews 85

When typing that, it doesn't seem like much for me. Eating the cashews was just to get my calorie intake up. I was pretty full but needed some more. I didn't go to work out yesterday. I stayed home and cleaned. (That was an exercise in itself) lol! I'm still not done either, so that will get done tomorrow because tonight I have bowling. However, my kitchen is now spotless lol! :p
 
argh!

Ok, I'm feeling a little irritated at the moment. This is non diet related and has nothing to do with anything on here but I need to type it because...well I don't know, I just do.

Anyway! Greg's friend Kevin, and his girlfriend Kerry, come into town every so often. We go to the casino together (the 4 of us), go to dinner, maybe the comedy club, etc. This is just a little background info. I guess Kevin is coming in town the end of this month. Greg told me that Kevin said he didn't want to bring Kerry. (I was hoping he would. That way she and I could hang out and Greg and Kevin could.) When I asked why he didn't want to, Greg says that Kevin said "cause there's " chicks up here he can bang"

Ok, I'm seriously irritated by this. I asked Greg if he was serious; he said yes.
So I guess Greg told Kevin that he should just separate with Kerry until he figures out what he wants. Kevin says, "ehhh"

Now keep in mind that Kevin is a chronic liar. I mean, he just makes up stories and all sorts of things. He has said that he slept with someone else (while he was with Kerry) before. Now, I try to stay out of it. It's Greg's friend and I don't want to mess with their relationship. HOWEVER...I find it very difficult to hear these things and not tell her. (I would want to know if I were in her shoes.) The bad part is...I don't even have a way to get ahold of her to tell her if I wanted to. :eek:

I'm just frustrated by this...it disgusts me. Greg says it's Kevin's place to tell her. I agree but I know that he never will. And by his "ehhh" earlier, he won't consider splitting with her either. I guess I don't really have anything that I can do about it, but boy is it frustrating!
 
Sounds like he’s an ass don’t worry though we are smart cookies and she will work it out if he’s cheating. It’s probably just more wishful thinking on his behalf.
 
Thanks for that. :) I was just feeling frustrated about it. Yeah I'm sure it won't happen...ok well not sure but he's quite the liar so

It's just sad to hear about someone you know and it's tough to just sit with. Even if it's made up, it's not right to talk about stuff like that. Ah well, what can you do.
 
Oooh, that's a tough situation. I hate it when I'm put in a place like that. I hope that the guy's not a jackass and doesn't cheat on his girlfriend. How terrible.

On a happier note, how's little Gizmo? I hope you guys are enjoying him!
 
wow your doing nicely on the diet.

All I can say about his "friend" is dont get involved,..if she hears it from you, and they work it out,...guess who is going to be seen as the big bad meanie? If he brings another girl by your house just talk about how nice his girlfriend is. Ok I have an evil streak...its out in the open now :D
 
I agree with Jennifer, totally talk about his nice his girl is! And Rosered is right, Kerry will find it out, men totally show signs when they are up to something. And if you ever suspect someone is cheating on you, 90% of the time they really are! Don't stress. At least you know where your man is!
You are doing good on your diet, don't they have strawberry zingers too? mmmmm, I want a zinger! LOL ;)
 
Thanks so much ladies! You're such a big help! That was kind of the outlook I was taking on things. I knew I'd be the bad guy. (Although to be honest, I wouldn't care as far as Kevin goes lol) However, of course the only reason I care is because of Greg. Your input definitely made me at ease about the situation. :) I'm glad my man is nothing like his friend...but then again, if he was, I wouldn't be with him in the first place. HAHA!

Funky~ Thanks for asking about Gizmo. :) He was at Greg's (Split custody of a hamster lol figure that one out) I got him back yesterday! YIPPEEEEEE I'm sooo happy! :) I think he woke up about 9:00 last night. I didn't get to play with him a whole lot but I did a little. I was so happy to see him. I can't wait until he gets used to be and will actually crawl into my hand. lol!

Jennifer~ Thanks so much for the compliment on my diet. :) I'm trying. It really is getting easier. Last night was a tough one there for a minute though, phew. Haha! Tonight might go over, going to try not to though.

Christina~ Thanks girl. Sometime situations present themselves and they're just overwhelming. I really couldn't tell, because of Kevin's friendship with Greg, but boy I'd be tempted. As far as the Zingers go..hehehe yep there are strawberry ones too. I don't like strawberry stuff though hehe But yep they're yummy!

Ok well last night was kind of crazy. I was on my way home from bowling, about 9:00 and all was fine. Then let's see, Greg leaves about 5-10 minutes later and calls me on the cell telling me a place down the street was on fire. It was an antique auction house...it burnt to the ground. It's just down the street from my house so my dad and I went down there. We were the first people there (outside from emergency personel I mean lol) Anyway, it was huge. The building collapsed, and they fought the fire for about 4 hours. I know the owners, and feel so bad for them. It made me sad, made me think of when Greg's apartment caught on fire. He lived on the 2nd floor, and the fire started across the hall. This was early on a Saturday morning at about 6:00 a.m. His section of the building collapsed. He lost everything. Things hit so close to home. Thank God that he, and everyone else, got out alright. Even in the time of tragedy, we're so blessed.

Ok well I went over today, but not by a whole lot. I would've been better without the candy bar, but oh well. Greg and I went out to dinner. He leaves today to go home for a week. That means I get to play with Gizmo, clean, WORK OUT and SLEEP lol. I'll miss him though.

Oh yeah, no weigh in today. I'll do it tomorrow. I have no indication whatsoever as to what the scale will say.
