Was super sore this morning... Super tired... and it showed... was walking around at work this morning and had problems standing up fast. People were like... "What's wrong?" I'm like "I went hiking with the Sierra Club and the old people beat me." I very nearly called in sick this morning. But I got out of bed and went anyway. Need to sleep more before I can drive to the campsite though. Going tomorrow morning. Driving tired is a recipe for trouble. Mom offered to go to Costco for me, but I will go Monday when my paycheck clears. I'm looking forward to next week. Trying to get more coworkers to join me for the Griffith park night hikes.
Looking forward to weighing myself in the morning. I feel lighter/skinnier. Like maybe I broke my 250lb plateau and I will magically be below it... despite how much I ate this week!
... and maybe magically my ex will fall madly in love with me and straighten out and treat me better.
Yeah, right. Good thing he didn't answer his phone today. Why are Friday nights so lonely?
...
Another day of packing and unpacking the car ritual. All ready to go for my doggie tomorrow. I still need to pack my pack and some dog food for camping in the morning. I got multiple calls from the campers that are already there to bring more beer. They must be having fun. I think I am going to have like a $200 liqour bill in the morning from all the requests.
...
So my mom went to Costco and I asked her to bring back some cookies I could take to the camping potluck tomorrow... and her medical weightloss diet must be getting to her because she brought back this ENORMOUS $16 tray of cookies from Costco that would have fed 50 people at a church gathering. I immediately made her give me a lift back to Costco (too crampy to drive) to return it... They didn't want to let me because they had closed the membership registers.. but I made them take it back. No way can I have an enormous tray of cookies around my dad... he would have gone straight through them and blown his weightloss plan.... and I and my mom would have followed. A small box I could stick in my car of something that wasn't too tempting, sure... but an enormous tray of different kinds of chocolate cookies? OMG.

Feeling a lot better today, despite staying up till 2am last night to file all my overdue weekly progress reports. 3 months worth... (oy vey). The horrors of ADHD. My mom sat on skype with me so I would focus and actually get it done. It also sounds like some of the work drama is lessening. There is a ton of beer in the fridge here. I think the guys blew off some steam last night.
Super cute guy I met on the hike Tues night texted so I gave him a call and we had a nice chat. It was nice to talk to someone who actually shares about their life unlike my ex, with whom everything is a state secret.
Need to figure out cooler situation for this weekend. My cooler is a piece of junk. it is ready to be turned into a swamp cooler compared to the new stuff that is out.... and a couple hundred bucks!!!!! Tired of having food go bad by sunday morning if I bring cold stuff, even if I freeze as much as I can... plus my plan was to get a cooler at costco when I bought food tomorrow, but work drama means I should conserve my cash. That also means that everything I froze to be ice up here will melt because my crap cooler is at my parents hours away.
Sigh.
Afternoon adhd med was missing from pill packet on desk. I hope nobody swiped it and I just forgot. Massive cramps and super hungry all day. Plus I overslept because I was up late and I didn't get a shower.
Griffith park hike tonight.
Did a real level 2 hike with Sierra club tonight. OMG. I may die. Everything hurts and I cannot stand. My legs are jello.
OW!

You should have seen the senior citizens just go straight up the mountain goat trail to take the shortcut to the path to the helipad... What was that movie where the aliens live in the pool of a nursing home and all the old people are young again?
2. what's in your breakfast burrito sounds nice by the name of it!
3. salsa's always a nice side!
4. did you enjoy the fake nuggests? sounds not good by the way you say it LOL! i'd call them veggie nuggets? what are they made from! it's so crazy, I've seen things made from both mushroom and even eggplant (some not so tasty! - as I try a lot of things!)
5. veggie tray = AWESOME!
6. I have ADHD too. I once needed to pack for a trip & my best friend actually stayed at my house when I was still living with my parents & she HELPED ME PACK! how nice is that! oh my. my ADHD is not diagnosed, but I know I have it. I get distracted SO EASILY. at least i'm blessed with some brains, which is GREAT! this means that even though i'm constantly distracted, I am able to focus just long enough to meet deadlines and not get into any real troubles basically ever.
7. Right now, I'm procrastinating while at work.
8. I started taking anxiety meds just this year (i'm 33 - and I started the meds around mid September - never before in my life.) anyways, coincidentally, I lost my pills that I was supposed to take for yesterday - but luckily I still have the rest of the bottle...lol.
good luck with the cooler situation!
2. I like the sweet earth burritos. Lots of flax seed. http://www.target.com/p/sweet-earth-protein-lovers-breakfast-burrito-3pk-15oz/-/A-23974695#prodSlot=medium_1_29&term=burritos
3. Yes... but I need to find salsa cups for lunches that don't have corn syrup hiding inside!
4. Yes, I worry about chicken nuggets being full of gross stuff so I buy the fake kind that taste more like chicken than actual chicken... why are they more expensive if they don't have chicken??? http://www.target.com/p/quorn-chik-n-nuggets-10-6-oz/-/A-14793175#prodSlot=medium_1_3&term=quorn
5. Yum! the little cup of ranch dressing doesn't hurt either ;)
6. I know what you mean. I have a terrible time with packing. I want to take everything. I try to keep "sets" pre-packed so I can just assemble and go.
7. Me too. It's been a stressful day.
8. ADHD/anxiety is a wicked combo, I hear. How are you feeling since you started? I started back again around May of last year I think. I have had radical life improvements.
9. Thanks for the good wishes! I am going to see what I can find on craigslist maybe.
Logging an entry for yesterday... which was kind of a mess. Lots of drama... Work is having a bit of drama... makes me nervous about job stability although folks who have been here a long time say this happens a couple of times a year. I was uber-pms, which brought fuzzy-headedness and a hard time driving. Took my car to the dealer to ask about paint issues and extended warranties and apparently extended warranty is junk. I need to wash my car... I haven't for like a year. It is just sitting in my brain as this unwashed thing.
Not sure what I ate yesterday. It was mostly ok, whatever it was except that I also went to Wendy's and had a small diet coke (no refills), 4 chicken nuggets, and a jr bacon cheeseburger.

New mix of ADHD meds is interesting... I feel so much less foggy... but I have no idea where my time goes... I just look up and it's an hour or two gone. Last night when the study group didn't happen at 6pm I did a few things with plans to do work later and then got no work done. Or barely any. Here's what I did last night, based on credit card, text history, and RescueTime
5pm - Hard stop at work. Drove to user group.
6pm - User group was cancelled at 5:30. Had ENORMOUS BURGER.
6:30 - Then I went to 99 cent store for basics. Attracted attention of the homeless lady who is normally outside the store bcause I towed my portable office roller behind me and she wanted to know what I had in there. Had to bail without making a purchase. Grrr.
7pm - Went to REI to return extra pack and camel bak for a dry bag that doubles as a bucket and a mini emergency kit and some more cord. Trying out my backpacking setup.
8pm - Repacked car to drive carpool to Griffith park tonight!
8:30pm - Went to starbucks to work on stuff. Ended up texting my ex that I miss him. I made him a mix tape while he was in Afghanistan and they were playing all the best songs on it. Did manage to figure out minor tech glitch for work.
10 - They kicked us out. Went to Vons to get everything I didn't get at the 99 cent store... WHERE IT COST ME $80!!!!!!!!
11:00pm - Got to mid week crashpad at T's house. Unloaded car. (4 bags... cooler, Linens/laundry, work clothes, portable office). Unpacked. Meant to only take a couple of minutes to throw some band aids in a bag for the hike today but instead was up till 1am assembling a first aid kit.
1:30ish went to bed.
5:30 AM. Hit snooze.
7:30 Woke up... No shower for me today. Also no 2 hours of me time at starbucks for homework and personal business that I desperately need to pull life together.
8am: Standup meeting with offshore team. I was on mute while I ate breakfast and got dressed. Had to tell T's parents about work drama so that they know what's going on with me and why I am stressed out on way out door then run off.
8:25am: Left for work.
9:15 - Finished getting dressed in parking lot.
9:30 - Started work

...easy to be tempted though :)
sorry to hear your group was cancelled....you can do this :)
That awkward moment when the response from Eharmony customer support to your email that there has to be something wrong with the guys you were matched with because they can't all be that good-looking and successful, and they respond that the system matches you with peers... So that's what success-driven, educated, and family-oriented looks like, but if I want lousy matches I should try Tinder.
I'm framing that.

HAHAHAHA :)
Have a wonderful day, Happy!!
That awkward moment when you splurge and decide to down an ENORMOUS bacon avocado cheeseburger at Farmer Boys, and it comes and you realize that Seal and Jay-z's love child is sitting in the next booth so you pace yourself and eat really politely... Then he leaves so you just down it... And top it off with helping yourself with some creamers and jelly packets into your purse... Then you turn to leave and see that an even hotter Adam Levine was sitting at the table on the left and saw THE WHOLE THING.
WWFAD?

B - 5:30 AM - 2 eggs, olive oil, 2 pc wheat toast, margerine, svelte protein shake on the dive up
S1 - 9:30 AM - Starbucks latte packet
L - 12:00PM - My Fit Foods chicken nuggets. 3 reeses peanut butter cups, vitamin water.
S2 - 1 packet peanut butter crackers
D - 6pm - 2 packets of chips on the drive over to my study group. Upon finding study group canceled, consumed an enormous bacon and guac farmer boy burger. I rarely indulge, but having a super hot guy staring at me disapprovingly while I consumed it was awkward.
S3 -
Up at 5AM on my own and in the shower by 5:30. Monday AM ritual of re-packing the car. Only managed to get daypack together for Griffith park and it is super heavy (not sure how heavy... forgot luggage scale at home). A little nervous today because I forgot to put my earthquake supplies back in my car this morning. I also gypped my dog on her walk... ran out of poop pickup bags and had to go back home after the first block.
Last night I had delightful discovery that I managed to store my camelbak resevoir correctly for once and it didn't mildew while in storage. $30 saved! The next one I buy will be insulated.
Realized when I was packing last night that I don't have an interview outfit that fits... Everything is enormous and what would fit is in my storage unit somewhere. Augh. I saw perfect interview shoes on clearance at Nordstroms rack, but I have spent too much on outdoor supplies this month ($300) and work clothes for my capsule wardrobe ($120 but not interview appropriate for an accounting company as I am happily employed at a gaming startup) and I need to reign it in. I overbuy when I go to stores... Not like TVs and things I can't afford... but like extra shampoo or cleaning products that really add up. I end up with big piles of returns that suck away my weekend.
Stopped off at My Fit Foods this morning to pick up lunches and dinners for 2 days... $40!!!! Seeing if I eat less if I go back to eat those. I'd cook like that for myself over the weekend but it starts drama with my dad because they are on a medical weightloss program. Still it is better to be at home on the weekends. There is nobody else to change lightbulbs or clean the bathroom.

There's earthquakes often by you???
What are your big organizational challenges?
Slept in on purpose. Lost .8 of a pound. Scale is moving in the right direction. I will break my plateau. I will I will I will.

Sunday funday! Dog puked up the Comfortis. Guess it is going to be a lot of fleas this year!
Today is my first day on the new mix. I feel less foggy, but it took me a while to get breakfast together. I tried to do 5 different things at once... Clean the bathroom, make breakfast, vacuum, get my mom to come out and keep me company... Figure out what hadn't died in the fridge that I could make breakfast out of... Need to focus! One thing at a time! All got completed by 10AM though.
Yesterday and today I was supposed to go to fun things off meetup... a coding meetup, emergency preparedness thing, and a hike, but didn't do any of it. I am feeling really anxious about my job situation... so I decided to just do personal paperwork and put things together at my parents place to take to storage... Things to make me feel more together and poised for flight if my startup does go under. I hope not. If the rule for user retention on a site is 90-9-1, we have 90-38-?. (I should look up that last one to complete the rule. Note to self.)
My litle at home projects:
Why is it so freaking hard to pack for a camping trip???? I spend more time packing to go camping than actually camping.

Woke up at 6am on time and then kept hitting the snooze button. It is the worst habit. If I got up at 5:30 every day I could have the life I want. Instead I always want two more hours and get up at 7:30. Years are slipping away. I need an electrostim alarm. Or a boyfriend. My ex got up at 4. That was too early.
I hate that I do everything last minute. I pulled together trash, laundry, and my cooler to go home. Discovered all my clean underwear was in the car, so I did makeup on the drive, got dressed in the parking lot at work, and did hair in the bathroom at work before going to my desk. I never feel totally put together. Like I am unfinished and not ready to face the day.
B - Sausage egg muffin, Cranberry juice, 2 oranges
S1 - 2 baby bel cheese wheels, instant latte mix
L - Coke Zero, frozen shepherds pie from trader joes, yogurt tube
Ex texted that he has to go drink beer this weekend and can't see me saturday. He wanted me to come to his floating love shack on Sunday. Imight have an event with the foster kids, and he isn't committed so I'm not getting within a mile of his floating love shack. There we have it. I feel munchy.
S2 - Cheese wheel, apple baggie. Need to buy more of those.
When did I eat two mini reeses cups???

Hey Happy. It's great you're going to your hikes. I love hiking as well.
let us know if you broke your plateau!! good luck!
The Sierra Club conditioning hikes are great because the peer pressure to keep the pack together and keep up really gets you moving and everyone is social and likes other people so there are people to talk to get your mind off how you are going to die and fall over at any minute and before you know it you are all done and back at the bottom of the mountain again.
Horn_Of_Plenty on 04/30/2016:
good choice to return the cookies :)
I hope you are also feeling better now after a week from the last hike!
Night hikes sound awesome!
Thank you!!! I felt so tacky... But I had to do it.
