Beagle's New Journal

In looking at our stats, we both are the same height and same weight. Did you notice that, too........

Will be great when we both reach our goal. Keep up the good work.

I noticed that when I went to update my weight on the site tracker... with the same height/weight, and that your online name is my real name, I get confused frequently these days! lol its a good thing at least our icons and signatures are different :p
 
So the fast yesterday went okay... about midday I had a strawberry-banana smoothy, and then ended the fast early. I had planned to go until breakfast today, but ended up having a very late dinner (around midnight). Then I didn't even bother trying to sleep until nearly 3, even though I knew I had to be up at 7 today. On the plus side, when I got to school, I found out that my first class was cancelled (or I can only assume so because nobody came but me and there were no signs on the door about it!). I have a 2 hour break after my first class usually, so I took a nearly 2 hour nap. I am feeling substantially better now :D

Friday Food:
Breakfast - missed
Lunch - chicken caesar salad (which wasn't that great) - 350
Snack - bag of chips (300) and a smoothie (200) - 500
Dinner - 12" veggie sub - 500
Total: 1350

Water - 75oz

Exercise - planning on 20 mins after school, another 20 mins after my online gaming (we're taking down a big-ass dragon! Maybe two! For anyone that knows World of Warcraft, we're finishing up Black Wing Lair by killing Nefarian, and then running across the world to off his sister Onyxia if we have enough time)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I really really really hate the saturday shift I have. 7am is too early to work for the weekend, and 5am is WAY too early to get up -_-

I am so tempted to just call in sick or something. But I won't, because I'm such a goodie two-shoes. Work ethic is bad for my health.
 
wow u do work early on saturdays!! i am on my way to work now to....but considering it is 930am here in newfoundland, its early in alberta!! i felt like calling in sick too, but like u, i cant, i feel to bad!

and i am the same way as u in the night time, i feel so tired, so i go to bed, then i cant sleep until like 1-2 am....i am so used to running on 5 hours sleep now.....but i love to sleep in when i can,

have a good day!!
 
Hi girl! looks like you are doing really well! Sorry about the early weekend rising, but you'll get through it. ;) Sometimes good worth ethic isn't too bad..:D
 
Yeah, the work ethic has paid off, I'm getting a $1.20 raise next month :D I still wish I'd called in for today though, its turning out to be a pretty crumby day, I just had the most frustrating call - and it wasn't the caller that was frustrating me, it was how completely impossible it seemed to get his problem solved, and it was all the companies fault! Took me damn near an hour to get it taken care of, and then it was still only a patch-work solution (and just for a bit of perspective, the company wants all calls to be solved in 10 minutes or less, so that one call should have been at least 6)

Saturday Food:
Breakfast
- Hot chocolate (I really needed it) - 200
- Egg and bacon on a bun (haven't had it yet, but will in about an hour) - 350
Lunch
- Michelina's Lifestyles (like Lean Cuisines, but a different brand) - 300
Snack
- Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard (small) - 570
Total
1420 -- no dinner for me today.

Water
- 25oz

Exercise- none yet (planning 20 mins after work, another 20 after dinner)

Warning: I am going to swear. A LOT.

I fucking HATE today. I hate this job on days like this. Even on good days I merely dread coming into work but I do anyways because its good money for a student. But this is quite seriously the fucking worst managed company I have ever worked for. I am only given tools to solve the basic, simple problems, and that even the support teams, the tech teams, everyone else can't do this shit either. "oh no, a slightly complex issue? HEADSPLOSION!!"

I have had two calls now today where I cannot help the customer and it makes me feel like shit. And I'm going to catch shit too, from both ends. Because on one hand, I spend HOURS on a single call trying to help, but all for a big fucking nothing in the end. So I get yelled by management at for wasting time and resources, and then I get bad mouthed by customers for being a shitty rep. But you know what? I'm not. I am actually a very GOOD rep with a 90% resolution rate. But that 10% is all of these calls that I seem to get at one time that have NO SOLUTION except to say "sorry ma'am but you've been buttfucked by the biggest wireless company in the US. I hope you enjoy your phone bill"

Twice today I have been reduced to near-tears, not because anybody is being specifically mean or demeaning to me but because I think crying has a much smaller chance of getting me fired than does throwing around chairs and monitors at the management like I want to. All of my breaks have been around half an hour late today because I take the time to help people. I want to go home, but my shift isn't even over for two hours. And they don't accept "I'm having a shitty day today" as a reason to leave early. They'll just tell me to sit down, shut up, and suck it up. Not in such un-HR friendly words, but that's the gist of it.

Jesus fucking christ, I need some ice cream. But now my last break of the day is over, and I don't have time to get some. Which I suppose is a good thing. Doesn't feel like it though.
 
I'm home now, and though my mood hasn't improved much in terms of positivity, but at least I'm stable enough to know that nobody really cares about what happens at work.

Sorry to go Drama-Queen on y'all.
 
Hello Beagle :) First, may I say, TAKE A DEEP BREATH. Now let it out slowly..... See don't you hate it when people tell you to that when you are having the day from hell?!
sorry to hear your day has gone so badly. Hopefully it will get better when you get home. Maybe a good exercise will work it down to "hoppin' mad" instead of "throw -the -monitors -and -chairs -at -the -management" pissed.

Chin up, it can only go up from here. Try to remember the 90% success rate - THAT MEANS YOU ARE GOOD AT YOUR JOB and 90 people out of 100 think you're great - Actually 91 out of 100 (can't forget to let you know about me now can I :D ).

Hope you can enjoy the rest of your day;)
 
Okay, today is a GOOD DAY! I finally was able to get a good nights sleep and my mood is 100 times better :D

Also, I'm a little psyched out because I just ordered a DVD workout set called Turbo Jam. I did a bit of internet checking for the videos to see what others thought, and this is the gist of it:

Pros:
Excellent music that keeps you going
Not boring
Works even the abs without having to do a single exercise on the floor
Feels like dancing
45 minute work out burns 750 calories
Money-back guarantee in the first month

Cons:
Some people have two left feet and can't get the moves (I don't so I'm not worried)

So, I went and ordered them, $75 over three months for 4 DVDs plus some other stuff that I don't care about :p

I'm spending the day at FH's house, and we are going to watch CSI DVDs until our eyeballs fall out ;)
 
Hey Beagle, glad you are having such a much better day girl!! :) Hope you enjoyed the CSI DVD's. We really enjoy that show.. Can't say I care much for CSI Miami's cast though!

You're doing great with the weight loss! :D Let me know what the DVDs turn out like, tehy sound great!
 
hi Beagle :) I was considering ordering the Turbo Jam dvds but decided it wouldn't be wise as the $ is an issue right now. They looked like they'd be so much fun! Let me know what u think of them. CSI is my aboslute fav. show! Hubby thinks I'm nuts but I really like it. Oh, well, what does he know?! LOL
Enjoy the marathon :D
 
So sorry you were having such a bad day at work. I'm glad it finally got better for you. I hope you are feeling much better today. You are doing such a great job. Don't let the stuff at work get you down too much.

Hello Beagle! 7am is way too early on a Saturday to work. Getting up at 5am is horrific. My eyes would be burning! So does that mean you have to go to bed at 9pm on Friday nights just to function?

I hear you about getting good nights of sleep. I haven't slept through the entire night without waking up in over a month. It sucks. I'm going to get one of those sleep study things done. I know once I loose weight I'll sleep better too, but meanwhile I'm tired when I wake up.

I don't blame you for wanting to call in sick. I would actually be sick getting up that early. haha
 
I'm glad there are some fellow CSI-philes on the site. People tend to either love the show or hate it (my uncle is a police officer and really hates it because it is so unrealistic, and lots of people come in expecting them to do that stuff -- a real DNA test takes like 6 weeks!)

In other news, I have been a baaaad beagle this week. I ate alright throughout the week, including that fast day, but I have been doing almost no exercise this week, and this weekend I ate terrible. Put on 1.5lbs :(

Next week will be better!
 
hey beagle, dont fret too much on the gain, i'm sure once you get back on track as you said, it will come right off!!!! dont beat yourself up too bad, it isn't worth it, just get back on your plan and you'll be fine!!
 
hey beagle just checking in to see how you are....dont worry about that 1.5 lbs, u will get that off in no time!

My dad is a retired police officer and he doesnt like csi either, the same reason like your uncle to unrealistic!
 
Monday Food:
Lunch - macaroni and cheese - 350
Snack - a few crackers and a small chocolate - 100
Snack - granola bar - 100
Dinner - more chinese food (managed to maintain small proportions) - 700
Total: 1250

Exercise: 20 minutes after dinner, and another 20 before bed!
