Gosh darnit!! MacDonalds is closed!!

What is happening in the world?!!! So now I've ordered Chinese and that will push my carb count up

at least tomorrow I will be strict and keep my carbs under 20... I don't want to go to work tomorrow!!

Sniff

Kissa · 01-01-2007, 12:02 PM

Love the photos.

Vienna · 01-01-2007, 11:02 PM

Thanks Cindy!!

I woke up this morning in a great mood- I did my 30 minutes on the cross trainer and now I am having some herbal tea for breakfast!I am dreading work but I am going to think positive! That is one of my new year's resolutions- positive thinking! I truly think that I can be a happier person if I think happy thoughts!

Happy thought of the day: I had a great workout and have a cute new outfit for work!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 01:56 AM

Happy thought: boss still not in!!

Looking forward to the end of the day eventhough I have 8 hours to go. Starting a new thing with my DH now- at least twice a week we are going to eat dinner at the dining room table and not in front of the TV like we usually do. He doesn't know yet but I'll try it out tonight!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 03:13 AM

Happy thought: boss is still not in!!!

But I am freezing in the office!!

Blue for cold!!

Making baked burritos tonight- can't wait!! 6.5 hours to go!! Yippee!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 04:15 AM

Just finished 1.5 litres of water!!

Another 1.5 to go. My goal is to drink at least 3 litres of water everyday during the week- on the weekends I am aiming for 1.5 because I know I will never get to 3 litres on a Saturday or Sunday..

Have to pee!!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 04:55 AM

5 more hours! Yipppee!! At least it's a short week and today has been pretty good so I shouldn't complain! Keep the positive thinking going!!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 07:38 AM

2 more hours and I'm done with work for the day! YIPPPEEE! I might just leave in an hour and a half cause not much is happening around here. The boss comes on Thursday

so I'm sure it will be super stressful. It just started raining outside- it looks cold and miserable- I'm happy I'm inside but I wish I could be snuggled up in bed watching a movie... sigh!

Happy thought: I'm heading home soon! And tonight's dinner is going to rock!!

I had some peanuts and babybels for lunch. And I am almost through with my 3 litres of water!!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 07:55 AM

1 hour to go!! Can you tell I love my job?

Happy thought: Organising my husband's 30th b-day surprise party in March- friends should be flying in from around the world!!

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 08:03 AM

I've been thinking about my goal weight- I think it needs to be lower actually.. I know I have 13 pounds to go (probably more after these holidays

) but I feel like even after that loss I would still be a little chunky.. I guess when I get closer to goal I can reassess my goal weight.

Oh- and for the past 7 years I thought I was 5'3- turns out I'm 5'1

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 08:45 AM

Yeah!! Heading home in 15 minutes!!

SweetE · 01-02-2007, 12:54 PM

Hi Vienna Darling!!!
Love the pictures you and dh are soooo cute! How was your trip to your parents? Back to work I see! Sorry!!!
I agree that you should wait until you get to your first goal, before you decide to go lower!!! Get there, try it out for a bit and then see. And remember women should have soft curves not hard bones sticking out!! I think most men would agree.
I just got home yesterday. It was soooo nice to sleep in my own bed! There's no place like home!!!
I had lots of fun, but went off plan and feel big and bloated. I'm afraid to get on the scales and face the music. And I'm still not back on, since I am in desparte need of grocery shopping. I'm doing it tomorrow!
Well happy evening to you!

Kissa · 01-02-2007, 05:14 PM

You really need a new job!

Don't forget the candles in the dining room...etc

Vienna · 01-02-2007, 11:10 PM

Hi SweetE!! Welcome back! Missed your messages! That's great that you had a nice holiday!! You're right about the skin and bones thing- I'm not a fan either but I am pretty top heavy and I am trying to work on that- so hoping that 110 is the magic number

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Kissa- I really need a new job but the situation is a little complicated- who knows maybe things will improve!

Last night dinner was really nice- we sat at the dining room table. After dinner we took down the Christmas decorations

and did the laundry- In Austria it takes 3 hours for a load!

Woke up in a great mood this morning!! Had a good workout and now have to start blowdrying my hair- I can't believe it is still dark out!!

Better run- I'll write more today!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 02:04 AM

I was just reading the cheating stories on the playground and I feel so bummed- how can anyone treat their loved ones like that? It makes me so sad. I know there are many reasons why people cheat- and it isn't gender specific but these stories are just horrific.

How can you crawl into bed with the person you "love" after "loving" someone else. Where is the respect? I haven't been cheated on

and I pray that I never do. I would be devastated. I know that there is no way to 100% protect yourself from being cheated and that scares me.

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 02:38 AM

On a different note- I was just reading Oprah.com - you can tell I'm working hard

and I read her week meal plan. As I read it I thought- gosh- I am so happy I am on Atkins. I would hate to live like that- constant portion control. Also, while her food I'm sure is good - it just didn't appeal to me. Cheeses, meat, butter. - that's what I'm talking about!

One thing I love about this diet is the fact that I really don't feel deprived- if you said "here- have a half cup of pasta or here- eat these dozen spicy wings" I would go for the wings! I loved pasta but I know that I cannot control myself and I would never feel satisfied with those portions..

So thank you Oprah for reaffirming my love of Atkins!

p.s. I think she's great and she looks wonderful but I coudn't eat that way!!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 03:44 AM

I think I am going to take tomorrow off- I have to finish my paper that was due a gazillion weeks ago. The boss comes back tomorrow so I'm not sure if I should- if I don't take the day off then I will at least leave early. AARRG- I wish there were more hours in the day!!!

Doesn't help I'm addicted to this site!!

So far today I have had:
3 babybels
1 baked burrito from last night
1.5 litres of water

For dinner: Chicken fajitas sans wrap!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 03:57 AM

OK- I have to start working- I've been surfing this site all morning!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 04:41 AM

OK- I just put on some classical music so hopefully that will motivate me to work and create something worthy of genius!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 06:16 AM

No sign of genius yet...

Stay focused, get this work done and then you can leave earlier and see DH and watch TV and relax.

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 07:42 AM

I know I've been on this site too much when I am trying to write a report and I all I want to do is add smilies to it.

Like- "Employees would feel more motivated if the theory of empowerment was practiced

.

"And sales were down for last quarter

"

Oh boy, I need LCF rehab!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 08:29 AM

I'm aiming to weigh in on Friday- I know I am up from the holiday but I really need to see the numbers and see my progress- Hopefully because I've been good so far this week I will be at around 125- any higher and I will be bummed. I would love to be 117 by my birthday and at goal by my DH's birthday- March 13th.

I cannot believe that I have been on Atkins for 6 months- half a year- that is nuts!! The whole time I have had 3 carby meals! Yippee! for me!

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 09:27 AM

Time to go home- finished my 3 litres of water! Yipppee! The boss'll be here tomorrow- ugh---

total stress!!!

got to go home and make me some fajitas! Andele!! (sp.?)

Vienna · 01-03-2007, 11:12 PM

Just finished my workout- it was tough waking up this morning- I don't know why- oh it could be cause my boss is coming back today

But- I am going to think happy thoughts today!! I have a new wrap dress to wear and I am happy about that! And I am happy it is Thursday!! That means tomorrow is Friday! Better go and get ready for work!!

Vienna · 01-04-2007, 03:33 AM

The cleaning lady at the office threw out my water bottle

We have such tiny glasses here that I will have to get up 15 times to get my 3 litres!! AAARRGHH! Oh well, I should have hidden it better- it was my own fault..

Tonight I am having spicy wings! Yipppeee!

Vienna · 01-04-2007, 04:14 AM

OK- the boss still isn't in!!

But I'm sure he's gonna show up any second!! I had 4 babybels for lunch and I am stuffed- and I am having my 3 espresso of the day- I'm going to start bouncing off the walls!!

Have to buy some biotin today and vitamin B and C! Time to get healthier..

Vienna · 01-04-2007, 05:00 AM

A friend of mine is pregnant here in Austria and I just found out recently. She is 26 (a year older than me). I know that I am not ready for children yet and neither is my husband but for some reason I am getting a pang of jealousy. is this normal? I am so happy for her and I can't wait to see the baby but it is still strange that I am having these feelings...

I told my DH and he didn'T really understand- I tried to explain it like this "It's like wanting a BMW but if you have it you'd have to make insurance payments, pay for parking, etc. and it would cause you to make sacrifices."

(I am not comparing a baby to a car- just my current feelings) I think he finally got it.

There is no question that I want children but I know that now is definitely not the time. I am still studying, not making a ton of money and am loving my independence. I know that life with a baby is rewarding- my sister has an 11 month old daughter- but I know that I'm just not ready..

Am I strange?

She is 26 (a year older than me). I know that I am not ready for children yet and neither is my husband but for some reason I am getting a pang of jealousy. is this normal? I am so happy for her and I can't wait to see the baby but it is still strange that I am having these feelings... I told my DH and he didn'T really understand- I tried to explain it like this "It's like wanting a BMW but if you have it you'd have to make insurance payments, pay for parking, etc. and it would cause you to make sacrifices." (I am not comparing a baby to a car- just my current feelings) I think he finally got it. There is no question that I want children but I know that now is definitely not the time. I am still studying, not making a ton of money and am loving my independence. I know that life with a baby is rewarding- my sister has an 11 month old daughter- but I know that I'm just not ready.. Am I strange?
