Chapped, Chaffed, Childish
I have not felt very bloggy lately. I have a lot on my mind, a lot to say (ask the poor girls in the dressing room) but I just haven't felt like writing about it. So here is a little something....
I am still working as the contract at Pirates and I love my job, I really do. I did just recently find out that though I am working as the contract, I am still getting paid as a sub. Boo. I talked to my bossman about it and he said he thinks it will be rectified this pay cycle. I hope so but I can't help but desire some of the back pay.... it's $15 extra a show and I have been doing the work so, I'd like the didge. We'll see though, I only fight the drastic battles.
Maia is rockin out on the running. She can run the half marathon now. I was just able to run three miles without stopping. Woo ha! I know that is conservative for all you runners out there but for me its a milestone. I need a couple more days running three miles and then I'll increase it. For me, it's a celebration :)
After a small tragedy about my wieght at Pirates I have finally settled on a diet of sorts. It's not really a diet its a tweaking of the healthy diet I pretty much have right now. Maia and Kirby and I have some wieght to shed and some muscle to reveal! And, our favorite...asses to chap. yes siree. Apparently I am not loved and adored by all at my place of business. There is a man I keep turning down, a girl who thinks she was wronged and should have the contract and apparently doesn't mind airing her belief to everyone but me. I was told I was getting heavy, by the man I turned down and he claimed that "the guys" are talking to him about it and noticing and I should address that and perhaps ask for some time off. To be clear, I have a gained a few pounds so I took him seriously. The boss was informed and the men were polled...not a one has said or felt that I am heavier, or heavy, or a problem. In fact I had an outpouring of men assuring me that I am fine. The guy was disciplined. However, I'd like to peel of some pounds and, as Maia coined...chap his ass. Along with bitter gypsy who smiles to my face and talks behind my back. And bitter friend of hers who puts Maia down and begrudges Kirby her spot as princess. I did not realize how bitter some are towards the contracts. Childish, I know. After watching me fall apart (on the treadmill I might add) Maia spoke of using this as fuel to work out, to go further. So all we have to do now is look at each other and mouth "chappin' asses" and man, it makes me giggle...and stick to the plan. The plan we are officially starting June 1st, but we are incorporating elements now.
The plan includes eating breakfast (I don't like to eat in the morning), eating every three hours, and then no eating at night. That means I have to eat during the day so that after two shows I am not starving as ususal. This is one of my biggest hurdles. I don't like to eat during the day and then after a full day of working out and shows I eat and go to sleep. I have to say, for the last four days that I have eaten according to plan, I have felt pretty good. I wake up feeling slimmer, not bloated like usual. I feel controlled and I feel like I am eating all day so it's like cheating all day. But I write everything down and I stay at or under 1200 calories and finish eating by 8pm. It's amazing. and no diet soda. but as much Crystal light and water as I want. AND believe it or not, I am drinking black coffee in the morning!
The fun part about this diet for me is that I have things I look forward to. I look forward to getting home and drinking my chamomile tea after the show. I think about it during the last show. Ahhhh the relaxation of that hot cup of tea before bed! I lookforward to my coffee in the morning, and oatmeal...gasp! a carbohydrate! I like writing it down and knowing I am not hungry because every three hours I get to eat again. and it's 300 or under calories each time. To be honest the hardest part for me is that I am having some sleep problems. I am so tired but I have been lying in bed tossing and turning until 3am or later. I even, in desperation, resorted to tylenol pm one night.
I know, a whole blog about diet? well if you know me you know eating is a big...possibly the biggest source of stress in my mind. So to spend four days eating a certain way that makes me feel better is amazing. The only other time I felt like this was when I did Jenny Craig. Someone else chose for me and I lost weight and ate a variety of food. Now I can do it myself...with help from Maia and Kirby who spent the first three days with me and Jaye Paul too. I have the resources and by thinking ahead I feel controlled and able to rest. I can't possibly gain weight doing this (right?). So, good. I had gotten to such a bad spot that I was eating alright but sparingly during the day and having such bad sugar cravings that I was eating A BOWL OF WHITE SUGAR at 1am. ugh.
So here we are, having been chaffed by some, we set out to CHAP SOME ASS! Tally ho sisters, tally ho...
