i have the luxury of being a stay at home bum
i used to be a stay at home MOM, but my kids are grown and gone now. but since my youngest got a job, i do the babysitting now!
i figure i paid my dues. i was a single mom for years working my fingers to the bone to support them with no help from their father. when mark and i got married he told me he would rather i quit work, stay home to keep my kids out of trouble (they were hitting that rebellious early teen stage), and help with my dad... my parents lived next door at the time, and my mother had her hands full caring for my dad who was incapacitated. since then i've just never gone back to work!
sorry to hear about binions. i didn't realize you were just a temp there. my neighbor just got hired working the cage at binions a couple of weeks ago. i think it's the cage anyway. she really wanted to be a dealer, she sure paid enough for her education in dealer school!
i haven't gone off course, but i have to admit i did a fair amount of cheating for a couple of weeks. always taking carb-blockers when i cheated, and still avoiding sugar like the plague. i didn't gain weight during that time, but i sure didn't lose anymore.
i started back being strict again a week ago, and the weight is not coming off nearly as quickly as it was in the beginning. instead of a few pounds per day, i'm lucky to lose a half pound. it's almost discouraging! but i know that the rapid weight loss isn't supposed to last forever anyway, even without cheating.
i'm considering taking a nap in the pool on my little green float... i'm hoping it's not too windy to enjoy!
