Today was not a good day food wise. My boss decided to order pizza for everyone due to us reaching a goal of total requests pending (under 300) and of course I have to be a team player and have some pizza. Pizza is one of my weaknesses. It's one of my favorite foods. And I really can't just eat a peice or two. It's annoying. So I ended up eating some and pretty much blew the day.
Then something really strange happened when I got home. I had planned to try and do some more yoga to make up for my food faux pas today, but my body had other plans. My body decided it just wanted to crash. I got home, put Ranger on his tie-out to potty and loaded the dishwasher. I brought him in and played with him a bit then I sat down to the computer in the office to try and figure out how the hell to count the damn pizza (since it wasn't anywhere in the food tracking app and I couldn't find any info to add it manually.) and my body just decided to shut down. I was trying to post a Facebook status complaining about the pizza and the text was total gibberish. Something like "qgu fof mp vppx yacw rp pedier paizer!@#>1", and then I blacked out for a minute. I managed to delete the gibberish, post something only partly more coherant and then I dragged my butt to bed, (called the dog in with me) and crashed, fully dressed on the bed. Ranger jumped up on the bed with me and laid down in my husband's spot (Hubby was still at work teaching.)
A little while later I woke up with shaking chills. Ranger got up and snuggled closer to me as if trying to keep me warm and I managed to cover up. I'd set myself a timer so that I would get up in time to get Jason from work. It didn't matter how much I tried to burrow myself with the dog in the blanket, I still had shaking chills until I got up. I slept for an hour and a half.
I got up after that and unloaded & reloaded the dishwasher and set out frozen soup to defrost for dinner. I took Ranger with me to pick up Jason and we got home and ate and of course now, when I should be going to sleep, I'm not sleepy. *sigh* Such is my life.

Daily Post - Jan 25 2011
Weight –380.8 Meh
Mood – Pretty good today. A little annoyed at points, but mostly okay.
Pain Level -Really really sore in the AM but it got better through the day. started at 7 and ending on a 3.
Breakfast –
Snack1 -
Lunch -
Snack2 -None. I wasn't home.
Dinner -
Dessert –None I got busy
Drinks -2 liters of water. 1 of them was faux tea. oh and a kid-sized diet coke with the happy meal.
Exercise -Cleaning up the bedroom for about 45 minutes.
Vitamin taken? *sigh* I forgot.
Meds taken? yes, though I still don't have my BP med or muscle relaxer.
I know I know, I'm posting really late. I spent most of today doing things I wanted to do and things I needed to do. I was sore when I woke up so I skipped the morning yoga but I counted the cleaning up of the bedroom and the laundry I did as exercise. I did get my nails done today and I got a happy meal while I was out in attempt to get a My Little Pony toy for a friend of mine who collects them, but it was a major fail. :(
After I got home I worked on some jewelry making. I made something for a friend who's birthday is on Friday, and worked on a few other pieces that I had started. Hopefully I can have enough work put together so that I can sell it in the Farmer's Market over the summer. I put George Carlin video up on Netflix and let it play while I worked.
And now, it's time for bed. Dinner wasn't much special. Just steaks and salad and a roll. I had beef and hubby had pork both cooked on the George Foreman grill. I love that thing.
I have a dog foot-warmer. Goodnight.

Weight –381.6 Creeping ever downward
Mood –Annoyed that it's Monday, burned out from work, worried about hubby's back.
Pain Level -Surprisingly not high today. Woke up around a 5 but that was due to soreness possibly from doing yoga yesterday.
Drinks -3 liters of water, 2 with crystal-light faux tea and 1 with wal-mart-brand crystal-light knockoff (grape flavor) drink mix stick.
Exercise -10 minutes of standing yoga poses. Started tinkering with a sitting/laying program for about 5 minutes that I hope to incorporate over the next week or so.
Vitamin taken? *sigh* Not yet. Will take soon.
Meds taken? Yes. But still no BP or muscle relaxer.
This diet stuff is hard work. Temptation has been high today. Been worried about hubby's back (he's still having pain and spasms. I told him to take a day off and rest, it's not like he couldn't have gotten a sub and it's not like he doesn't have time off allotted so does he listen to me? Noooo.. He has to be a typical male and soldier on anyway...*sigh*) Work has had me a bit stressed (what new?) and I still haven't had time to get my nails done. Bleh.
Tonight's dinner was crockpot fajitas (Yet another link from the awesome blog "A Year of Slow Cooking") and instead of using beef I used 1.5 pounds of chicken and 1/2 of each of a red, orange, and yellow bell pepper that I'd had from previous weeks and had cut into strips and put in a freezer bag and had in the freezer. I also added 1/2 of a red onion (I dislike white and yellow onions), and I used chicken broth instead of water. I made my own seasoning mix from paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. I refuse to use pre-made seasoning mixes because they are WAY too high in sodium. I have a really awesome spice cabinet with LOTS of spices and I make my own salt-free blends. If you're not like me and can handle some heat, throw in some hotter spices like Cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper. Me? I can barely handle mild salsa, so I'll pass.
The biggest problem with making crockpot fajitas is that you almost always end up with too much liquid. To solve this little problem, I cleaned up my wok (which is kind of my all-purpose sautee and frying pan since we don't have many pans) and dumped the contents of the crock into the pan and simmered it on high heat until all the liquid cooked away. It was a bit more work, but it was better than wasting food. I measured 1/4th cup of cheese and used two of the soft-taco sized tortillas (too small!) but even after that I'm still hungry. This is annoying. I haven't actually eaten today's dessert yet and I'm considering eating it after I make this post. Hopefully that and more water will shut my stomach up.
I'm liking the yoga app I have on my iPhone, though I had some issues with getting my own music to play on it. I think I'm going to do a bit more tweaking with the programs I'm making but I think by next Monday I should have a good routine going. My hope is that by the end of February, I'll be doing 10 minutes in the morning and 15-20 minutes in the evening. Standing poses in the morning to get the blood flowing and sitting/laying poses in the evening to calm my butt down. Though I need to remember that when I'm doing the evening routine I need to find a way to occupy Ranger so he doesn't sit on my iphone and block my view of the pose routine. (goofy dog.)
Tomorrow is my typical Tuesday day off of work. I WILL get my nails done tomorrow dangit!

Intro Post 1 of 4 - Just who is this chick anyway?
Hi. My name is Jenni and like most American women, I have a weight problem.
(Hi Jenni)
Now when I say "Weight problem" I don't just mean that they're overweight, obese or need to lose weight. We are a country, a society, obsessed with a number on the scale.
This is not always a healthy thing. I have a problem with equating my self worth to the number in that the smaller the number is, the more worth I have as a person. I also am obese.
At 8pm on Friday January 7th I weighed myself. 399 pounds. I wanted to die.
This morning I weighed in two weeks later at 385.
I'm trying to diet. I will get into more on that in another post. I really cannot exercise right now. I'll get into that more in another post.
I turned 30 years old on Jan 14th. I'm married for the second time to a man I love dearly and who doesn't have a weight problem. I have no kids. I'm childfree. This does not mean that I hate children or that I even dislike moms. Moms are free to read here and I don't trash families here. I just state this because my weight isn't related to pregnancy. I have never been pregnant and wish to NEVER be so.
That said, my "baby" of sorts is a 17 month old black Labrador Retriever named Ranger.
This was taken about a year ago. Isn't he just adorable?
I work part-time at a desk job. I work part time becuase I've been going to school until recently. I received an A.A.S in Digital Media from Parkland College in 2009 and started a B.S. in Web Development with Franklin University. Sadly, my health hasn't allowed me to keep pace with an online-only learning environment so I'm currently trying to get into a different school.
This process has been stressful, but I'm still trying.
I have a number of health issues that I deal with on a daily basis. Among them are:
Aside from all that, I'm a geek. I love computers and the interwebs. I love video games, movies, Weird Al Yankovic music, and playing games on Facebook.
I've been heavy all my life and I fear I will never get to a "normal" weight.
More to come in Part 2.
