I Put it in My Bag

When my goddaughter was about two-years-old I took her to Michael's to shop for Halloween and fall decorations. She found a trick-or-treat bag and began stuffing random items inside. Every time she added something new she said, "I put it in my bag."

Well, that is all I did today, stuff things into bags. To be more exact, I stuffed individual LuLaRoe items into brand new Ziplock bags. Once finished, I will then sort the bags by style and add them to shipping boxes. This is all part of the process to leave LuLaRoe. Why did I get into this in the first place?

Today has been extremely frustrating because I am doing everything alone. I understand that my husband is tried of LuLaRoe but I am upset that he doesn't even offer to help me leave. I know that I expect too much of people, but it hard to see the big picture when you spend hours alone in a room stuffing ugly shirts and dresses into gallon sized bags while hoping the company doesn't mess up and you get all of that hard earned money back. Again, why did I get into LuLaRoe?

Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast: peanut butter crackers
Morning Snack:
Lunch: leftovers
Afternoon Snack: chips
Dinner: tuna sandwich

Daily Challenges:

Reading: Just Ella
Creativity: new outfit combination
Exercise:

We went to my favorite custard place with friends tonight but I didn't eat any! That was really hard. It has been really hard getting back into my challenge after about a week off for my birthday...

Over and Out,
The Girl with IBS

What is IBS?

A few years ago, my doctor diagnosed my chronic and mysterious stomach pain as IBS. At the time, I could barely eat. I was living on the BRAT (banana, rice, applesauce, and toast) diet, losing weight rapidly, and barely sleeping. Before the diagnosis, I went through weeks without lactose, meat, soy, gluten, and other ingredients in an attempt to discover an allergy or intolerance. After several tests, we decided it was IBS and I would have to learn to manage the symptoms on my own. According to the Mayo Clinic: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. IBS is a chronic condition that you will need to manage long term. For me, IBS means nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, and constipation when I eat large meals or too many No-No Foods. My No-No Foods include sweet, fried, and acidic foods. I have learned my body's ca...

Paint Your Pet

Remember when I used to have weekly incentive rewards and I actually met my challenge? Yeah I remember that too... Well, one of the rewards was a Paint Your Pet class at my local studio. And today was the day! The painting class was small, only myself and two other ladies. One of them was painting her pet goat, the other was painting her puppy for her husband's birthday. They were close friends but did a wonderful job of including me in conversations. I also loved my painting instructor and we chatted a lot. During the break, we walked over the brewery and my classmates tagged along. They were hesitant at first but when their much younger acquaintance ordered, they did too. I feel like I should have received commission for them! So I sipped my glass of cider and worked on my masterpiece. The painting looks just like my beautiful kitty and I am so happy. Maddie is my princess and her portrait turned out better than I could have expected. I loved spending the afternoon learning n...

Let's Just Start this Day with a Bang in the Head

Weigh-In Wednesday:  150.2 lbs So today started by getting my (rightfully but nonetheless) grumpy husband out the door for work. Next, it was weigh in time where I was greeted with a number in the 150's, again. Walked into work to see an email from a very rude coworker throwing me under the bus for her mistake. Followed by an inquiry from an upset coworker about an incident that was taken care of weeks ago. I explained everything twice and then stopped trying. The system is down and half of our server is acting up. Why I am here? Oh yeah, because I pay mortgage for a house I am not in, payments on a car I barely drive, and I have a crippling amount of student debt for a degree that have provided me with a higher position than I am currently working. If ever I needed comfort food, it was now. Here is what I ate today: Breakfast - pancakes Snack - cherries Lunch - turkey sandwich and popcorn Snack - peanut butter crackers Dinner - *cheat meal* I am just wanting all the th...
