My Krazy & Frazzled Life

Welcome to my documented journey through weight loss and rediscovery. Please walk with me down this jagged unascertained path that so many have wandered down before. Follow along as I hobble through days of despair, desperation, and struggles as well as days of joy, triumph, and discovery.

It's Hot!

Sorry about the lack of posting lately.
Per my last post my daughter, K had arrived at her destination safely. K and M was married Aug 5th. They took professional pictures but they are not back yet, but she did send me some that were taken with the digital camera. I hardly recognized her! She looked so grown up and beautiful! I absolutely loved her dress! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. She is having a lot of fun, but I sense she is home sick and she misses her birds terribly! I can’t wait for her to come back, I miss her so much! M (her husband) will be joining her here sometime later. I know that sounds and seems odd, but it’s a long and complicated story, so I won’t get into it.
I will be super glad to have her back so the birds can go back to her house! They have been screaming A LOT during the day. I know they miss her but geesh, do they have to have their air raid sirens going off 24/7!!!!!
I also have been going over to her apartment to water and feed her 5 hermit crabs. I told her they were not coming over here!! LOL

I had my weigh in at Jenny Craig this last Saturday. I knew I was going to have huge weight gain, and I did… I gained 6.7 pounds in one week!!!!!!!!! OMG! No no no it's not what you think!It’s because I ran out of my water pills (Triamt/hctz 50/25 mg) about a week and a half ago. My legs hurt so badly from the excess fluid! I went to see my cardiologist yesterday, and got that all taken care of, so I have been running, running, running and RUNNING to the restroom today, which is ok by me!

OMG this heat we have been having is unbearable! Today it was in 95° F with a heat index of 105° F our state fair is currently going right now. I would love to go but not when it’s this hot!
Speaking of the state fair, the Jenny Craig center I go to have these flyers telling how many calories are in some of the more popular items at the fair. Here goes!

Bloomin’ Onion – 2882 calories
Cheesecake on a stick – 655
caloriesDeep fried twinkie – 420 calories
Funnel cake – 800 calories
Jumbo corn dog – 700 calories
Deep fried kind size snickers on a stick – 800 calories
Dippin’ dots candy bar crunch (1/2 cup) – 208 calories
1 Deep fried oreo – 98 calories
Nachos and cheese – 900 calories
Turkey leg – 1400 calories

MY GOODNESS!!! What’s with the deep fried twinkies, oreos and snicker bars! I can’t even imagine how fatty and rich they would be. YUCK!
The only thing that sounds good and that I would want out of any of that is the funnel cake and the corn dog. But that isn’t going to happen, it just isn’t worth it.
