Been A While

There's no excuse as to why I haven't been doing this, other than sloth. Today I feel gigantic and I needed to talk about it and my skinny hubby doesn't get it. At the moment it hurts to bend at the waist while sitting. It feels like all the fat is pushing in on itself and it's hard to breath. I've also noticed that sitting on my side hurts b/c the "back fat" somehow pushes on my rib cage. I'm not that large, this is very distressing. I have to hold my belly fat and pull it away from my body to get relief. Laying on my stomach helps too.

Today was cookie day at work. I had 3. One in the AM and two in the afternoon. Tomorrow is a Buffet lunch at work for a coworkers going away party. I'm excited b/c the sushi there is relatively good and it's a BUFFET! Also, there are not many calories to sushi, so I can fill up on that and then have the chinese food after.

I've been going to yoga every other week. I enjoy stretching. The other week though I hurt my shoulder and so I didn't want to push it so I didn't go this week (also I had to work late). Can you see the trend in excuses? Anyway, usually I go to the stretch yoga class and last time it was some other kind where I actually worked my Psoas muscle (the one that is atrophied and causing all sorts of problems with my back, butt and posture). I wish I had more money so I could go twice a week. *sigh*

On another note, we are trying to get out of debt (i.e. student loans) so we are on a monthly budget which I enjoy doing. However, things are slow at work, so we are hoarding our money just in case I get really slow. Although I've had and influx of work in the last two days. So I'm at the point where I have paid off the second of my 6 student loans, but I can't send the money in until I know things are good at work. We are doing the debt snowball (paying down the smallest debt first to the biggest) but hubby wants the next loan to be my biggest b/c the interest rate is more. While I understand where he's coming from the satisfaction of paying them lowest to highest means quicker gratification. I don't want to wait 8 months to celebrate the next loan payoff. We are at an impasse.

Speaking of impasses, when Dan and I have an argument, we never resolve it, we just agree to disagree b/c neither of us wants to give up our stance. This is not good, because sometimes the same argument comes up again and again. We are both so stubborn. Like with the debt snowball, I completely disagree with him but I'm doing it to make him happy. Hmmm...this blog is more of a rant today. I just needed to get some stuff off my chest (rather incoherently if I might add).
