What happened to Sunday?

I have been trying hard to get back on this journey I started years ago. I used to weigh 236 lbs. That is no exaggeration. I was a Fatty McGee. I remember sitting on the front steps and crying my eyes out. I mean sobbing like crazy. Then I realized that sitting around & doing nothing wasn’t going to solve the problem. I was going to lose 100lbs. I got up & walked up & down the street. I threw away my junk food. I lost about 80lbs. That was YEARS ago. I got to the point where I was 15 to 20 lbs away from my goal. I got married and then I put on some weight. Within the past few weeks, I’ve stared a new workout routine, eating much healthier and am back on track to getting to my goal. My friend ended up hiring a trainer for us (FOR FREE). So I’m just very focused.

Friday night we had crazy bad weather. A tree fell right in front of our apartment complex & we didn’t have power. So Chris & I decided to eat dinner at a local buffet restaurant. Keep in mind, I’ve been eating healthy. I did very good. Normally, I eat small plate worth of food & then gorge on desserts. But this time, I was ok….or so I thought. I had one spicy chicken finger. It was tiny enough yet greasy enough to haunt me the next day.

Saturday, I felt very blah all day. That night, I went to my parents house for dinner while Chris visited some friends. My mom wanted me to ride to the store with her. Well right after dinner, I got sick. (Side note: whenever you tell somebody you’re sick, please don’t go into details.) I knew it was that chicken because I felt bad all day. I took some over the counter medicine & then went home. Chris had a prescription for nausea so I took one tablet. I had no idea that it was Phenergran. (It was the generic version) It knocked me out! I slept for 14 hours straight!! I got up & took Bear out and then slept for another 2 hours!! I made myself stay up so that I would be able to sleep last night. Which was hard. I did laundry & my arms & legs just felt so heavy. I hated it. I’ll never take it again!!!

On another note, The Office was new on Thursday and it was classic. This scene was the heart of the episode. Oh I just laughed hysterically.
