I hate days like this

Days where I somehow manage to weigh 5lbs more than the day before. Logically I know it's water weight, it's not real, and it won't last but it just makes the day kinda suck. Like really really kinda suck.

I also got up earlier today than I have been (typically I wake up at noon now because of the seroquel) but I was up at around 930. Still haven't had anything to eat. I guess the 5lbs has made me reluctant to actually consume anything, though I know I should eat something to keep me from binging tonight. I just really really don't want to.

I have appointments all this week, other than today, and I was going to go get a police record check/pick up my paycheck that I forgot at work on Friday, and they just called me asking if I wanted to work this afternoon which would be great for me but I can't do anything as I'm waiting for a guy to show up to do something to the security alarm system. The rest of this week I have commitments, I wish I just told my Dad he should have taken this afternoon off as I have stuff I want/need to do. Oh well, can't do anything about it now.

I'm also going to paint the half-bath today, I was suppose to do it last summer but we didn't have wood filler or sandpaper so I could prep it properly and Dad never got around to getting it until the other day. I like painting walls and home decoration, I'm quite good at it. Plus Dad is going to pay me. I did the wainscoting in the kitchen last summer, though it was so dry and put up by the last people who owned this house who didn't fill in the nails that I told Dad that I'm going to fill in all the nail holes and give it a final coat of paint (This would make it 4 coats). And eventually do the main bathroom, the living room (have to take down wallpaper first and it looks like the walls are in bad shape), his bedroom, and my bedroom. That should keep me from feeling completely stir crazy. And burn some extra calories as well.

  1. I know...I hate the day after eating too much. Often I'm hungry and I feel like I have no right to be hungry or eat. Wainscoating...I love that look.

    1. I love the look too, when it's done properly. The people who owned this house before did mostly half-assed projects that I'm slowly correcting.

  2. I HATE weight fluctuations0 water weight or not they're still depressing! Seeing a higher number on the scale of a morning tends to leave me in a more sour mood. Home decor and interior design is really interesting to me also (it was my major for 1 1/2 years). I love rearranging furniture and putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls (speaking of which, I'm really getting sick of tan on my walls now! I need some colour!). Everything always looks nicer when you get through decorating- you could do a bathroom before and after pictures! Hope you have an awesome week ♥

    1. I used to want to go into interior design when I was a teenager, but no universities near me offered the course and I wasn't allowed to go away to school. Now it's just a fun hobby. I staged my grandmothers house for when she sold it and everyone raved about how nice it looked.

  3. Sounds like you have an awful lot on your plate today. Don't be too hard on yourself - the 5 pounds of water will drop off so fast.

    1. I typically run around with a lot more to do. I'm actually making up jobs for myself. You were right, they came right off.

  4. Sounds like you have a lot going on atm :( Hopefully re-painting things and re-arranging will put a fresh light on things :) xx

    1. I hope so too. I've just made up all those jobs for me, as I need to do something. Sitting on twitter all day refreshing it can only not seem not pathetic for so long.

  5. That kinda does suck, but I'm sure it's not lasting weight, especially since you are going to be so active.
    It will all work out fine.

  6. I hate when water weight makes me gain a lot over night. At least it never stays long. Sounds like you are really busy. Hopefully that'll result in weight loss. Painting and redoing rooms and things like that can be good exercise/calorie burners. And they can be fun. I just got done rearranging my room and cleaning it a few days ago.

    1. I have so much I could do here that it could keep me busy for a few weeks, which is a good thing now that I have engery again.
