The truth today is U.G.L.Y. Let's just get to it...
Week 3 Poundage - 180.8
Total Poundage Lost - +1.4
You read that right, folks... I gained. I can make a ton of excuses, but I'm over the excuses. The truth is I ate too freakin' much food...plain and simple! I suck at controlling my food intake.
Also, I have been banned by the doctor from running this week due to my hip flexor issue. I have a 5K this Saturday that I'm still running in, but other than that I need to take it easy and see if the rest will help! I so hope it helps because if I can gain weight while "dieting" I can't imagine what what will happen if I stop running/exercising. Scary thought.
Dr. S Update...I did the Iodine test last week and that damn square disappeared in about 10 hours! Normally it should take at least 24 hours, so I'm now taking some Iodine supplement on top of the Adaptogen for adrenal support - both should be increasing my energy levels - but I can't say that I've seen a huge difference...yet at least. I go back on the 13th so we'll see what he says and I should find out where all my hormone levels are too!
Here is the real kicker, and by kicker I mean Slap In The Face I received yesterday at work. Long story short-ish, we have a group of team members in the corporate office training to go over to work on our railroad in Australia and yesterday we had a "send off" celebration which included CAKE. I was sitting quietly in my office and a guy walks by and says, "It's Cake time! You coming?!" I was like, "Heck Yeah! Cake time!" and just as I walked out of my office door my resident Fifty Year Old Who Thinks She Is Twenty coworker says, "Dang, Fatty! Gotta go getcha some cake!" No, I'm not shitting you... Mind you said Fifty Year Old Who Thinks She Is Twenty coworker weighs probably 105 pounds and is as vain as they come. I'm not normally one to shy away from conflict, but I was honestly so dumb-founded and caught off guard by her comment (which I think she really thought was a funny joke, b/c I don't think she is a mean/malicious person in general) that I just like reacted with a nervous laugh and replied something about her being a Skinny Porn Star (genius, right?)... But in all honestly, who the FUCK, yes FUCK, says that to someone?!?! Is that the reality check that I need or was she just being a Bitch? I don't know, either way my next door office neighbor asked me about it this morning, he said he wasn't sure if she said what he thought she had said and that he was totally disgusted that she would say that to anyone and he apologized for her behavior - which totally isn't his responsibility or duty, but it was a nice gesture. So what did I do last night? Went home and stuffed my face full of Mexican goodness... the entire day was a FAIL!
But today starts a new week and I'm determined to not be seen as the "Fatty that's gotta get me some cake!" around the office - even if the only person that thinks so is a Fifty Year Old Who Thinks She Is Twenty Porn Star...
Ha! This made me laugh so loud at my desk. there aren't any of those "fifty year olds who think they are twenty porn stars" at my office, but I can imagine what I would have done if she'd have said that to me. Wow, what a lame one she is.
ReplyDeleteOMG who does that? For real - WHO DOES THAT? If someone said that to me here I would a. punch something b. cry immediately c. shovel more cake in my face. People have NO filter sometimes. Oh Darci you are beautiful - f.it she is missing out on some awesome cake.
ReplyDeleteI'd throw a box of staplers at that b!tch. For reals.
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog!
ReplyDeleteBut let me just say that I would have slapped that bitch... hard. I don't know how people can say such insensitive things and then say "I was only joking"... biggest pet peeve! That is just stupid.
OMG Screw her! She is obviously insecure about herself if she needs to make comments like that. However being insecure doesn’t give her a right to be a bitch. Don’t worry about it, (I know easier said than done) but your making progress and your allowed to have an “off” day just pick yourself back up :) You can do this and you will obtain your goals and kill the upcoming 5K in the mean time!
ReplyDeleteWhat?!?!?!?!?! Who says that to somebody!!!!???? We have one of those "fifty who thinks she is twenty something's" at my work too. Drives me crazy!!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I would have lost my job right then and there!! Ok, not really, I probably would have ran to the bathroom and cried, but honestly that's mean and rude! You are gorgeous, don't let that bitch break you down!
Holy shit!!!!!! Who the hell says something like that to anyone, ITS NONE OF HER DAMN BUSINESS!! I would totally confront her and tell her to mind her own fucking business!! I guess you can't slap her you are at work and all :) Don't be down on the gain, you will get it off just rest this week and hopefully you will be back full force next week!!! Chin up!
ReplyDeleteWHO DOES THAT?!?!?! Seriously, WHO?? I know people who know people... I kid (kind of). Ugh, the nerve of that skinny porn star. You are beautiful!! That fifty year old who thinks she's twenty needs to look in the mirror and examine herself. We all have flaws. She must have some real insecurities. I hope you rocked that piece of cake!! Chin up, sister!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly why there should be instances where punching people in the throat is just OKAY!
ReplyDeleteShe was totally out of line, joking or not! I'm sorry Darci you don't deserve that. Don't let a 50 year old wanna bd porn star get you down!
ReplyDeleteOk, seriously. WHO FREAKING SAYS THAT?! I would have been livid. or I would have just started crying right there. People are so ignorant. But on the other hand it is people like that who fuel me to be the best me I can be. F THEM.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! I can't believe the stuff people think is ok to say out loud. I'm sorry, those days suck, I would have been in the bathroom crying my eyes out.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower, hope your hip feels better for Saturday. =)
What a Bitch... I would have had a piece a cake, and then took an extra piece of cake and put it on her chair, and then punched her in the face. I am sure HR would have looked the other way!
ReplyDeleteOh, Darci, love.... I know that I have a full blown girl crush on you because when I read what your Porno Work Neighbor said to you, I totally did the side head cock and "Oh, no... she didn't..." flashed through my mind. I got your back. You're only a couple hours south of me. Do I need to come beat some old bitch's ass? Because I will. (Or maybe I'll just take you out for drinks instead...) :) Keep your beautiful head up. You's NOT a fatty! You's is one HOT BOX! ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think that rude old hag must be related to a decrepid old fart that was a patient at the hospital I work at. A couple of weeks ago I was walking down the hall when I heard an old craggly voice say, "That girl has got a BIG BUTT!" I am NOT confrentational at all but I couldn't just let his comment go by without notice. I whipped my head around and asked, "Did you just say that I have a big butt?" His eyes grew as big as saucers. He tried to blame it on the girl who was rolling him in his wheelchair. I told him that I knew it was him who said. I still played it off and didn't totally rip him a new one because...well....I have to remain professional. But I'm with ya, WHO THE HELL says stuff like that? She and the old man were just trying to get a rise out of us. I think some people like to make others miserable. It just goes to show that you can be a 50year old with a slim body but it doesn't matter if no one can stand you.
