Are you effing kidding me?!

No, no they're not.

I GAINED A POUND BACK, WTF! UGH, hopping on the frustration train to doom all over again. This is ridiculous. I really thought that I would have at least been down a pound, but like many things in my life--I thought wrong lol. 

Today was just a nurse visit, and I had someone new. I haven't seen Jen in a few weeks, and I'm wondering if she left. That makes me kind of sad because I really like her and trusted her. Cody is always awesome, but I don't get her all the time. I had my second Lipotonix shot today and decided to alternate hips. She gave me my shot in my left "hip", which really she put it on the backside of my left love handle lol. It didn't hurt at the time, but a few hours later it started to burn and get sore! Yowza! Marissa told me that shots can vary depending on who gives it to you, which she's totally right. Sometimes I get shots and don't feel them at all, other times I feel like these nurses are using me for dart practice. Either way, the soreness is beginning to subside so it's no big deal.

I noticed in the mirror today that my rolls are starting to taper slowly away. Thank god because I'm tired of being lumpy. My muffin top is still there, along with my spare tire. I don't know how else to get rid of these besides working out at the gym. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but my right hip looked smoother than my left! Could this be because of my shot last week?! I'm not really sure, so I'm going to alternate hips from now on. I didn't get a B12 shot this week, because I'm starting to feel better. The first day of my weeks off I usually spend sleeping in. 

Today was pretty productive. I got my tires on and to my surprise they were running a special at Sam's Club and I got $60.00 off! So happy about that! While I was sitting there waiting for my car, this young guy came out from the back to run register. And all I kept thinking to myself was "are you effing kidding me?!". He was wearing his sunglasses in the store, WORKING with them on. Normally I'd think of that song, "I wear my sunglasses at night" but it was complete gloomy day out! He was wearing a thick tacky silver chain and had tattoos all over him. The only way that wearing those glasses like that are gonna be acceptable, is if he was hiding a big black eye underneath it but he totally wasn't. It was just something that made me giggle...and text Marissa with pictures of proof!

Hien thinks that I should push it harder at the gym. I've been too cold and lazy to do more than I should lately. I'm anxious for some warmer weather so I can do more stuff outside. I've never been real super on hiking, but I think I'm going to start this year. Upstate New York has too many hills and outdoor spaces to not take advantage of it while I'm still here. Patiently waiting for my W2 in the mail, so I can get my tax return! I told myself a while ago that I'd save my return to pay for airline tickets for Han's wedding, but I really think I should just pay off my credit card. I have this big anxiety about bills. I despise owing any money. I have two years left on my car, and my plan is to pay off my credit card and bang out double payments so I can just pay the bitch off. That way, I can save up some more funds for a rainy day.

I'm probably crazy for socking so much money away into my retirement fund. I have a 403B, which doesn't accrue any interest because I work for a non-profit organization. When I first started working, I paid off all my student loans and expenses from school. When things were smooth and stable, I bought my first REAL car! Exciting. To tell you the truth, I really don't put any money in my savings account, something I should probably change. The way I see it, is I'm putting more than 20% per check into my retirement, so as long as I have money in my checking I'm good. I'm just one of those weird people that don't save, unless they have something to save for I suppose. I mean how many people at the age of 25 put that much into their retirement fund, let alone have two of them?! I hired a financial advisor when I started working at the age of 20, definitely don't regret it at all. Rene is awesome, her son is actually a friend I had from High School. I trust her with my accounts and wouldn't have it any other way.

Anyway, I'm off to catch up on all the TV shows I missed while I was working! Some days it's super nice to just veg out on the couch! :)
