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...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

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. ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
