Stuff

Court yesterday was all day and brutal.  Actually binding arbitration in front of a panel, vs a judge or jury trial.  But brutal nonetheless.  Got there early, and parked about 6 blocks away.  Had a nice walk and thank God the weather was beautiful.  I could NEVER live in the city, but I like to visit.  Anyway, the plaintiffs were just total white trash.  I think even their attorney was disgusted when it was all over.  There is a panel of 3 attorneys that here both sides of the case and make a binding decision.  The one panelist had to tell this woman politely to shut up a zilliion times.  He finally told her that he was not going to tell her again, as next time, she was out the door.  Sheesh!  She came in hipster tight jeans with a tight white t shirt and bra straps showing and flip flops for crying out loud!  But hey, all good for me.  They looked bad and we looked great.  It was a water loss.  Some moron put a garden hose in the mail slot of the front door.  Row home.  Water ran through the the living room and down into the basement.  Well, the guy wanted another $50k so he could get a new kitchen!  We had photos.  No damage to the kitchen.  There was one bill that wasn't paid (we never got the bill until discovery, after the lawsuit was filed, well over a year after the loss!)  So basically we won as we had to pay the bill.  But one day of prep and a whole day in court and I still got 2 new fires anyway!  My brain hurts.  I did have a nice walk back to my car after court but we didn't get out until almost 5pm.
I walked the dog last night as well, a little over 30 minutes.  So got over my 10k steps yesterday.  But food was horrendous!  They wanted to go to a deli across teh street from the court house.  I don't eat deli sandwiches or salads.  So I had the pita pizza, which was delicious, and a diet soda.  Can't take water or food into the court house.  Came home late.  Dear husband brings home pizza for dinner, thinking he is doing me a favor!  So 2 more pieces of sausage pizza and more diet soda.  But then the ugly addiction/cravings raised their ugly head and I found myself eating bread last night before bed!
Worked from home today.  Very stressed.  Was doing ok with the eating until tonight and then ate potato chips and choclate ice cream!  No exercise today either.  Gotta go back to my office tomorrow to prep for a deposition I have to give next Tuesday.  That one is going to be brutal as well since I have to drive 3 hrs each way, and get beat up in a deposition. 
Won't be able to get to the Y tomorrow but going to shoot for Friday morning.  I do have bowling tomorrow night and Friday night.  Glad those 2 leagues are almost over.  Need a break.

I can almost visilze the costome of the plaintiff! LOL OMG all day in court...I don\'t envy your job on those days. How sweet of Hubbie to bring home pizza...he was trying!
Ok now stop the night bingeing...listen to the \'little voice\' it is telling you STOP! Don\'t you hear it? Stop and think and listen tonight.
Love you...HUGE HUG!

Oh goodness...court sounded crazy. I\'ve seen people wear the strangest outfits (inappropriate) in court or other \"official\" places and you just wonder why they don\'t have the sense to look better and more credible! Sorry about the pizza...I had to eat hot dogs for lunch and nachos for dinner because 1) we had nothing else and 2) I can\'t prepare anything on the stove due to the water conservation efforts going on in the city. That was all I could scape up for food! Need to go get some fresh fruit or something!

Oh, my goodness! Court does sound like it was brutal! Why would someone come to court dressed that way? Seriously, how out of touch with reality does someone have to be to show up like that?
Oh, and the hubby help with dinner...UGH! Check out my journal entry (not up yet...so later)...I had a dinner fiasco last night myself and both my husband and my EX husband were to blame! I was beginning to wonder if they planned to sabotage me yesterday.
I think eating crap food leads to eating more crap food...one bad choice leads to bad food cravings. I think it is something chemical in fast foods that makes us crave more. I notice that if I make a burger or hot dogs at home, for instance, I don\'t crave crap after...but if I eat a fast food burger or grab a hot dog from a place like Deerhead more crap food is all I can think about.
At least one very positive thing came out of yesterday for both of us...The weather was beautiful.
Hang in there Yvette!
(((HUGS)))
Love ya!

Caught up on your last journal as well but will comment on both here. I think your doing great, AMAZING. Great job for getting in all that exercise. Better than me. I have not done nothing since the race. I want to try and run tonight if not on Saturday but that\'s not gonna cut it. Even when exercising it seemed like I could not get my food under control, I\'m doing better but that\'s the tough part. It\'s the stress.... I hope things get better and work calms down a bit. Glad the boys are good, hope things get better with David. I feel so good when preparing but then if things run out I\'m a crazy lady and grab whatever is in sight. Even today I brought ham and a cheese stick but for some reason not wanting that and want to go out for lunch????? Ugh. It\'s the smells in the air, ha ha. Remember all these little steps at up and will get us that much closer to our goals! High 5 Yvette!

Wow You are very busy. Can\'t believe all the stuff you have to go threw with work.
Glad to hear the deposition is postponed, I hope that won\'t mess you up.
It seems to be a trend this week of eating junk food. Is our body telling us something or are we all on the same bad track.LOL (like TOM)

Have a wonderful weekend and do something nice for yourself

HAPPY MOTHER\'S DAY
