Wait Loss

No I didn't spell that wrong I mean wait loss. We all have to wait for something or someone. In my case I am waiting for myself. I am waiting for me to stop being so weak. I really want to lose weight but I am standing in my way. I have all the tools at my disposal, time to exercise, a supportive spouse, Isagenix and yet I have loss next to nothing. Of course I do know why. I am pretty self-disciplined Monday thru Thursday but the minute I wake up on Friday...I party like Prince's 1999. 

I go out for Happy Hour with my husband, dinner with my girlfriends, parties with my kids, bowling with my family and all of that includes food. Not salads, low carb snacks and high protein items but junk food. Pizza, hot wings, drinks (at least I drink diet coke with my Crown), cake, nachos...the list goes on and on and I appearently have no will power. Come Sunday I slump in dieter's remorse and scold myself for not sticking to my guns.

Monday I have a new found sense of purpose. Tuesday I feel like I'm accomplishing something. Wednesday I look forward to my weight day (Friday) and Thursday I am convinced that this time I will be different. But then Friday comes along, Pizza gets delivered to work along with cookies, my husband gets the party bug and wants to go out on the town for dinner and drinks, my girlfriends call me up to check out a new restaurant and inevitably one of the kids needs to go to a party of some sort with lots of sweets; of which are my complete and utter weakness.   

I don't know what to do. I don't really have someone (really I need a female friend) who really wants to buddy up with me on my journey. Most of my friends don't need to lose weight. My husband, although loving, supports me in losing weight but doesn't have time for me. And the female friends I do have are in another state. 

This is wholly on my shoulders as it should be and I need to stand up and be strong. But I find myself lacking. IF anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. By the by, the Isagenix works wonders if you use it. I only use it Monday thru Thursday...here's a concept, perhaps I should use the product the way it directs me to. DUH! Oh and self hypnosis doesn't work, it only puts me to sleep. : )

Until next time...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
