tiffers: day off!

about my little mishap. . .i can feel a little cut on my finger though as i'm typing, so i guess more happened than what i thought!

they're cute, though.  all in a day's work!  now to stay up all night so i can sleep all day tomorrow and then go to work!

love, tiffers

tiffers: littlefatme's mini challenge day 1!

okay, so as far as weigh in, maintained again this week.  getting a little bummed chillin' here at 267 but it's better than gaining!

so, as far as my perfect day for my perfect week, i did get a lot more fruits and stuff in today which was pretty cool.  got down about 40 oz of water, which is less than i had been getting, but i made the mistake of bringing a drink to work in my stainless steel bottle and thus had to finish it before i could fill it with the nice free filtered water in the break room.  i'm taking it empty tomorrow and i'm gonna fill it up when i get there and just take me a diet soda to have with lunch or something.  that way i can just keep filling that bottle up all day!

work was mainly just sitting around on the computer, so not as much activity there as i would have liked, obviously.  but i should start my third shift this week which will really help and hopefully tomorrow i'll have an actual schedule and can plan days when i need to be treadmillin'.

i guess that's it!  not a bad start, tomorrow will only get better!

love, tiffers.

tiffers: a work blog!

i filmed a weigh-in day video, but it was super suck-ish so i'm not posting it, but here are the main points:

1.)  i maintained.  still at 267.

2.)  chris lost 2 pounds, putting him at 300 and about 20-25 pounds lost.  :D

3.)  i want a bike but didn't get to buy the one at goodwill.

that's about it.  went to goodwill to see if the bike was still there but it was gone.  of course.  you have to make up your mind when you're at goodwill cuz things don't stay around too long!

in other news, i start my new job tomorrow!  the extra money is gonna be awesome, but i'm also looking forward to it to give me some sort of schedule.  when i started weight watchers i was working part time at spencer's gifts (ringing up customers, making sure no one opened the sex toys, stuff like that), and it really helped me out because the time that i was working it was busy and i had a snack break instead of a full lunch hour since i was only part time.  plus mall food was way to expensive, so it kept my on track.

right now i've been playing housewife.  i try my best to keep myself busy but sometimes i'm  just bored and food goes in my mouth.  which is why i think i've been maintaining lately.  i'm not eating more food but i've just gotten bored with my routine so i'm not as active.  so i'm excited for those eight-hour days of moving and being busy and having a smart ones and some water to keep me going instead of sitting on my bed watching spongebob and eating a bunch of leftovers and a million vanilla coke zeros.  so yeah.

i celebrated my new job today with some buffalo wild wings, a vanilla bean frappucino and about three hours of mall walking!  my feet hurt so bad from all the walking, but i made it a point to eat first so we could spend the day walking some of it off!

also, while at the buffalo wild wings, the waitress grabbed my hand and started gushing about my engagement ring and congratulated chris for picking such a good one!  it was so cool!  i hope that happens forever because i love chris and this amazing ring of mine!

i guess that's it!  i'm gonna  be keeping my eyes open for a cheap-y bike so i can ride around the neighborhood and up to the goodwill for stuffs!

love, tiffers.

do you think we look alike?

just a fun little vlog with the Bug.  enjoy!

tiffers: waffle house madness!

so, my day was mostly ruined yesterday and i was quite sad.

it started out awesome, i got my job (yay!), had to go pee in a cup (boo!), then have an awesome yay breakfast with my dude at the waffle house.  i knew waffle house was gonna be a million points, so chris and i decided on salad for dinner (taco salad!  7 pts!).  and all was well with the world.

come to find out, an entire party was coming to our house and didn't tell us until about 20 minutes before it got there.

needless to say, i raged.

not because of the party.  i like parties.  i would have loved that party if i had known about it the day before.  so i was mad cleaning (didn't clean cuz didn't expect a PARTY to show up) and getting dressed (again, wasn't expecting a PARTY).  and i was mainly angry because when the party did show up, it showed up with pizza and ice cream cake.  luckily, this is what weekly points are for, but i'd rather not use them so early in the week. . . .

chris and i avoided the pizza (it was papa john's, way to many points) and had a small piece of cake (i counted it as ten points).  i still made my salad, i had two servings of it and have some left over for today.  i ate like half a head of lettuce, mandy would be so proud.  anyway, i still even ate more salad then i should have because i was craving this gooey melting ice cream cake sitting in the middle of the kitchen.  i figured i'd be better off in the long run going over points with salad than with cake.

so it's wednesday and i'm already down to 32 weekly points.  SIGH.

BACK TO THE WAFFLE HOUSE MADNESS though.  i got a tasty ham and cheese omelette, hold the yolks (which it's fifty extra cents to do that.  SIGH.) and the damn thing was still 14 points!!  so i decided to go on a mission to make a BETTER and LESS POINT-Y omelette.  which i did.

this one is easily twice the size of the one i got at waffle house and was only FIVE points.  it's three egg whites (0 pts), 2 cut up low fat hot dogs(2 pts, it's a childhood fav, i don't know if people still actually eat that as adults but I DO), 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (0 pts) and 1/3 cup shredded cheese (3 pts).  put a little hot sauce on top (hot sauce and eggs just go together) and it was freakin' delish.  plus it lasted way longer than 5 bites like the waffle house one.

i can only assume it's the cheese and the butter that made the waffle house one so many points.  and it was only two egg whites, i'm pretty sure.  and it was like, sliced american cheese which i'm not a super fan of.  it gets plastic-y when it gets cold.  ewwwww.

so that's it.  go enjoy yourself a tasty omelette today!

love, tiffers.

tiffers: a water-y blog!

i have a pretty focused vlog to do today about goals and such (side note, weigh-in day, up 1 pound but not bummed, it's all gonna be in the vlog), and i'll probably forget about this new goal so i though i'd write about it instead!

this goal is called. . .

WATER.

water and i are generally not friends.  i find it weird when people *enjoy* drinking water.  i don't enjoy it.  water and i just don't hang that way.  plus it makes me pee too much and that's time out of my busy day (and night)!  but i do understand how important it is and one of my mini goals this week is to have some more water.  i'm gonna try to record my water intake in my tracker just for my own benefit.

so yeah.  water.  how do people just really like to drink water?  i feel the same way about water as i do when i force myself to eat broccoli.  i get no joy from it.  it's not my buddy.  but i *does* make me feel good, the same way i feel good about eating the gross broccoli.  not that i like it but that it's good for me and i did it anyway.  it's the same way i feel when i get off the treadmill, even if i had a bad time on it or didn't go as long as i really wanted, i still feel good about myself for doing it.

so i'm going to try to keep a big glass of water as my buddy for the week.  as long as it's not meal time.  for some reason i absolutely can't eat food and drink water unless it's my only option.  don't know why.  i just can't.  D:

that's it.  tell me all about your guys's water-y goodness or water loathing in the comments.  tell me why water should be my friend even though it's so boring!!

love, tiffers.

Mandy's hair and David Gray ramble. . .

and here's Kathleen!

tiffers: MINE. not yours.

i really was this excited.

i'm so hungry. . .grocery shopping tonight with my dude.  yay!  fruits and meats and cheeses, ahoy!  :D

(especially fruits!  i ate an entire bunch of bananas in like two days.  tasty, tasty bananas. . .)

love, tiffers.

tiffers: weigh-in, bitchy scale and ramen noodles.

a new ramble-y tiffers video.  you know you love it.

anyway, he're is a picture of my scale compared to my laptop:

it would be easier to stand on my laptop, but far less productive.

my feet look fine on it in this pic, but you can't see the way my knees are bent
up and smooshed together to make my feet fit.

so that's my douche-y scale.  i actually think my thighs are too fat, which is why it's hard to get my feet to stay on it.  damn you, fat thighs!  damn you to hell!

also i only weigh 216 if i weigh on the carpet.  maybe i should weigh on the carpet all the time!

love, tiffers

a random scale blog.

ha.  really i'm just procrastinating.  i'm tired of reading about medieval monasteries and chris won't do my homework for me.  gosh, chris, what do i have you for if you won't even do my homework for me?!

anyway, i went to the health dept. the other day for a cholesterol and sugar test (alls good, my sugar was a little high but apparently nothing to worry about).  i was most excited because every time i go to the heath dept. they weigh me!  and i love being weighed on awesome accurate scales that i can fit both my feet on!  and the best part. . .

weight in at 266.6 pounds!  that's 2.something pounds down from last weigh in!

of course, that's not an official number because it wasn't weigh-in day.  sigh.  

but anyway, i wanted to use that number to test my scale again.  you probably remember my last 'i-hate-my-scale' blog.  it's pretty off.  so we checked it against that number and it was 266.8 on my scale.  which isn't that off.  i'm going to assume the problem was with me weighing myself.  when i weigh myself i have to look down at the scale (like, over my belly cuz i'm still all jiggly), so i put more weight on the scale and it changes.  where as if chris weighs me (with me on the scale staring straight ahead) it seems to be pretty accurate.  only a tiny bit off.  i need to get you guys some pictures of my tiny scale, it's weird and tiny-like.

i'm still only blogging to not do my homework. . .

i don't feel like being a responsible adult right now!

well, back to procrastinating.

love, tiffers

episode 23: the most epic pool story ever told

in case you haven't heard about my horrible pool adventure. . .
and yes, mandy tells anybody. just say 'pool' and this story tumbles out of her mouth like word vomit. D:
and no, i'm not really mad. i can find the humor in it now, i really can! it's just a way over-shared story. like when you hear a cool song on the radio and then they run it into the ground.
love, tiffers.
