This last weekend was CRAZY! We had a big storm come by and knock out all the electricity and of course internet. It was Friday at night till almost all morning on Saturday. SO! We go to the store to get ice and we pack what we could in our cooler. Like not even five minutes later the power comes back on. Good but also it was like WTF! Thankfully we didn’t lose that much food during the power outage. In fact we were pretty lucky. Some people didn’t have power until today, Monday.

Then on Saturday we had another major storm come through after we unpacked the cooler. Of course right?! Thankfully the power stayed on. The storms were crazy it was like night outside. Scotty was scared but not Tex. He wanted to go outside while the eye of the storm was going on. Smh! Well at least he isn’t scared of storms. But still I was like you have to wait. Also hoping he wouldn’t go inside the house. Thankfully he waited.

Jeff got a great pic of Tex.

I think is my favorite pic of him!

Friday going back in time here. Friday 19th in the morning we went to Green Bay to eat breakfast with my mom and Bree. We were in Green Bay because we needed to drop off Jeff’s mattress. That was whole thing.

So get this we bought the mattress at Verlo they have a thing if you want your mattress fluffed or repaired. They come to the house and pick up and later that day they drop it off. Well apparently they were too busy for them to come to our home. So Jeff said we would drop it off. See Jeff has a spring mattress and I have a foam one. You wouldn’t noticed that they are separate beds in our room since we pushed them together and so it looks like a king bed. Never sleeping on a spring mattress again. Also I am upset with Verlo for this. Because it was literally a cluster-fuck. No one knew what was going on when we dropped it off.

Anyways since we had time to kill. I have been talking about getting my ears pierced again. My left ear piercing keeps closing up and finally I let it all the way because I got sick of fighting with it.

I got my ears pierced when I was three! It has been a long time. My mom got her nose ring at the Colourbox in Green Bay. While we were waiting I got new piercings! Yay! But I decided to get four piercings. It only hurt a tiny bit and I have to leave them in for six to eight weeks. I love them. I tried getting a pic to see all four piercings but only could just do one ear to see.

It was very hot out on Friday in the 90sF. I totally love my piercings! Everyone at the Colourbox were very friendly. OH and the price was a lot cheaper than I thought. It only cost $42 plus tip. Cheap! Sort of strange they only take cash but worth it!

Went to the dentist for a cleaning and it was good and bad. First the good. For the first time in my life I have great teeth (sort of). Anyways I didn’t bleed a whole bunch when she flossed my teeth which I usually do. There was less scraping too. She said I don’t really have a lot of plague either. I can’t believe it!

She asked if I drink soda and I said no. I gave that up years ago and now I am on the Keto diet. She said that’s awesome! By giving up soda and sugar will make my teeth stronger over time. OMG! Have I never heard that in my life.

The bad I have a stress fracture in one of teeth from only eating on one side of my mouth. It has a filling only. If it had a root canal I would get it pulled out. But a crown I will do and I don’t care what color it is either. Silver, white or gold whatever fix the problem.

The lady said this would be the last of the “soda teeth”. If I continue with no sugar and no soda. I could have the best teeth and not have to worry about so many problems in the future.

Speaking of which on the diet, I fit places! In the dentist chair those arms always sit on my hips. Not anymore! Also in the dentist office have those chairs that are meant for skinny people. I fit! I am not skinny but hey I can sit comfortably in those chairs.

This gives me the confidence to keep going. It’s been hare because I can’t eat this or that but the results. I love it!

Our chest of broke! The bottom drawer died. It was on it’s way out but I finally did it and broke it beyond repair. So we needed a new chest of drawers and Jeff found this! I loved it because I really like the style.

In the ad I thought it was blue and tan but it’s black and tan. That’s okay I still love it. Also it was nice her son helped us load it in our car.

Also we sold our chest of drawers that was broken. Literally people will take anything for the right price. We made $20 dollars off the broken chess of drawers. And the woman didn’t even haggle so yay!

Tex came home! Yay! Oh he is more behaved! We have to do more at home. I have to work with him everyday to keep him well behaved. Sometimes he doesn’t listen to me but it’s all in just keep practicing. Soon the trianer will come back to our home to show us more stuff for us to work on. It’s awesome! He already knows but they say they have to teach the humans. Lol true!

Also we couldn’t believe it but Tex is taller! He looked different but it’s his face that is the same and that TONGUE! LOL! Doesn’t stay in his mouth. Of course when I want to take pic he moves.

On the Keto diet Jeff has lost 28 pounds all together. And I lost 10! It’s awesome!

Tex comes home on Saturday. I can’t wait we miss him.

I have been learning a computer language. I have been learning HTML5 at Codecademy.com I like they have a work area to make the lessons to see how the code works. Also awesome area to ask questions and others answer. It’s free and I like it even though it’s hard. After I learn HTML5 I want to learn CSS. What I want to do in the future is to make my own story game apps. I think that would be fun.

We put in an A/C in our house. It’s called a split system.

This cools the half of our house so nicely. Gets so hot on one side of the house because the sun always beams down on it. We do have an really old A/C but it is on the front of the house that works. But wow this split system is super quiet as well.

On Wednesday there was a baby buck in our back yard. Could tell is was a buck he had tiny fuzzy horns. Jeff got some good pics of him.

This coming weekend we are going to celebrate Independence Day. We went firework shopping last week. It was okay. It was really, really hot out!

I lost six pounds! I am happy but I wish it was more. Lol! The reason being is I have lost six, gained six, lost six and so on. So I wasn’t like jumping for joy that I lost six pounds. But it is a start.

Jeff has been working on his car. I think it’s cool he starting his hobby again. I have never seen him actually working on it since we been together. I can tell it makes him happy!

We sent off Tex. He is in training now for 2 weeks and we miss him. We won’t be able to celebrate his birthday which is the 4th. But we will when he comes back. I think this is good for him. We will have well trained dog that won’t run off. That is my biggest fear that he will run off and we will never be able to find him.

43.

I picked this book up at a used book store and it’s the last in it’s series. Anyways don’t have to read the first two before it. This one was actually good. It had a car explosion, gun fight and action! Oh and the romance is pretty good in this one.

Finally another one that is good. There sure is a lot of these that are crap.

Now on to Keto diet. Wednesday I had the Keto Flu. OMG I felt like my head was going to fall off my neck. I had a queasy stomach as well. So basically I felt like crap all day. Thursday though I felt great. I am glad that only lasted one day.

I been having leg cramps. I couldn’t figure it out because I drink a ton of water all the time. I feel hydrated but I have terrible leg cramps in the morning where I feel I can’t walk they hurt badly. Found out I need more magnesium.

However I lost some I should I put it? I guess fat in my breasts. My breasts feel not as big even though they will always be big. lol! Looking forward to buying smaller bras.

For someone who thinks about food a lot. This diet has me not thinking of food. I usually think about lunch then what we are having for dinner. I don’t know why I would think this way. I would think of other things I would like to eat. Seriously I had a problem. I am also an emotional eater which is terrible.

I am influenced by ads. If I see a new chip flavor I want to try it. I say Doritos are my kryptonite. I like Doritos since forever.

Now on the diet I haven’t thought about food. It’s nice! I only eat when I am hungry which is two times a day. I don’t eat breakfast I am not a breakfast person anyways and I am done trying to force myself to eat breakfast. So no problem not eating till noon. I do drink coffee in the morning. Oh it’s so awesome! I have whipping cream instead of milk in my coffee and it makes it taste great. Also don’t really need that much of it in the coffee.

On the Keto diet for dinner my brain switched to I can only have this much to eat and that’s it. Now with the diet I can eat as much as I want for dinner which is all meat, no carbs and no sugar. We did have bacon and eggs one night and get this it was too much! I can’t believe it! One night we just ate bacon. It sounds silly. In fact I eat so much less then I ever have. One day I skipped lunched. It’s crazy to me.

I can’t believe in one week my brain has to switched to food, food, food to I am not hungry. When I see ads on the net or on TV I think POISON! I think this diet I will not cheat is ether. I can’t really without starting over. Nothing is worth eating to start over.

Last Sunday was Father’s day and we had the father’s at our house. Jeff cooked a great meal! We had bacon burnt ends so yummy! Also brats and burgers. We made devil eggs and a Keto friendly dessert that wasn’t that good. lol! My dad liked it though.

Jeff and I decided we are going on the Keto diet. We started on Monday and Jeff already lost 10 pounds even before we started. WTF!!! I am jealous also proud of him at the same time.

It’s strange I woke up today completely full like I just ate. In fact I didn’t eat lunch because of the full feeling. I’ll see how this goes. For the first 2 weeks we are going to have no carbs at all which I thought it was going to be hard. But I am in a great headspace. I really, really want to lose a lot of weight so I am very committed to doing this Keto diet.

My dad has lost 20 pounds and my 18 but what I couldn’t understand why only that amount? Because they have been doing it for awhile. Well found out on Father’s day why so little they cheat. This is a diet where you can’t cheat. Once that happens you have to literally start all over again.

I have big plans when I am small. Like new clothes! Sounds silly but right now clothes shopping for me is my worst nightmare. I hate it because I feel fat (and yes I am fat) and nothing seems to fit me the way I imagine in my head to look. Also feel great in my own skin would be pretty awesome! Just even losing 20 pounds I know I would feel better about myself. And that’s what’s in important on how I feel about myself. I am doing this diet for myself. However it does help that Jeff wants to do this too. We can are Keto buddies!

Last Friday Jeff had the day off and we planned to go to Green Bay for rich people rummage sales! I thought it was going to be awesome but it turned out disappointing. I thought nice neighborhood full of rich people they would get rid of some cool stuff. I was wrong.

There really wasn’t anything. A whole neighborhood of nothing. I found one doggie blanket and a pocket mirror at one. Then we went to Chrissy’s rummage sale and Andy was the only one there. He was telling us that Chrissy was setting out stuff he was still using. Lol! I did find this cute owl picture.

Only cost 7 dollars. I also found a cute heart mug and a Beauty and Beast glass for April. That’s it. We know not to go to those next year.

A few weekends ago we painted our bathroom. I keep forgetting to log into the journal. At one time someone painted the bathroom a peach color. Why?! I have no idea. I don’t care if was the 80’s. Peach! No way! Here is something that I have never encountered any place we lived in. Only one wall in the bathroom would streak. Like it looked like paint streaking but I could wash it off. I have no idea what that was?! Even when it was winter out that wall would streak. So crazy! Since we painted no more streaking on that wall.

I wanted to do a totally different color than tan or white or even off white. I wanted green. But not like dark green a light green. It turned out great!
