Crappity!

Turns out I had THE WORST.TRIP.EVER in Costa Rica.  Why, you ask?  Well, here it goes:

1) My luggage did not arrive with me in Costa Rica.  So, they told me that my bag would be there at 7:45 pm.  I went to my hotel and checked in and at 7:45 called the number they gave me - no answer!  I went back to the airport and had to fight with the security guards (who do not speak english) for two hours before they finally called a Continental person to help me.  Two hours later, I finally get some assistance and guess what?  My bag is sitting in the pile of unclaimed luggage.  I am about 95% certain that if I had not gone and picked up my bag I would never have received it. 

2) I didn't have a room for a night because my trip was changed and I forgot to change my reservations.  So Wednesday was booked.  I had to bunk on a roll a way bed in my coworkers room.  Who, coincidentally, is a CHAIN SMOKER.  Thank God she didn't smoke in the room, but she did stand in the doorway with the door wide open smoking.  Guess where the smoke blew?  You guessed it!  In the room.  I feel bad for bitching since I was imposing on her, but my God, it was like a chimney!

3) I woke up Wednesday and was getting in to take a shower and NO COLD WATER!  Just scalding burning hot water coming out of the both the hot and cold faucets.  I had to sponge bath and go to work with dirty hair.  Gross.

4) My husband emails me on Thursday and asked me if I "unfriended" his mom from Facebook?  What in the f?  Are you serious?  Dear lord, no, I didn't unfriend my mother in law.  Even though she annoys the shit out of me, I did not unfriend her.  I did make it so that she cannot see updates on my wall, but I didn't unfriend her.  Seriously, her and my FIL came to our house to help my husband out and visit with the baby and she's worried that I unfriended her from Facebook?  She needs a job or something....she has way too much time on her hands.  So needless to say, crazy MIL once again is able to pry into my life. 

5) I sucked on my diet!!!!! Out of everything else, this is what pisses me off the most.  I mean, for the most part I did "okay".  But what I was worried about came true.  I drank my shakes for breakfast, but I had Subway for lunch twice and at dinner, I did try to order something chicken and "semi" healthy.  But that is easier said than done.  I asked our waiter one night if the chicken had skin on it.  He said yes, so I was going to order something else, but they didn't have any other chicken dishes, so I resigned myself to picking the skin off.  My dinner arrive and there was no skin!  Of course I know it's my fault that I can't communicate better.  I'm in their country crying out loud.  I wish I knew spanish!   

I did drink beer a couple of times and I had wine one night.  I didn't exercise at all!  I was going to bring my exercise videos but I didn't.  So then my plan was to go to the hotel gym, but I didn't.  We worked until 7 or 8 every night and then we had to try and get dinner after that.  So basically it was a bust.

I stopped at MWLC on my way home Friday after my plane landed and I weighed 206.  So basically, I had gained 1.8 pounds on my trip.  I was a little swollen, so I think some of that was water weight. 

I went back today for my weigh in and I am back to 204.2  - this is the same weight I was at on 2/12.  So in 9 days, I have not lost a since pound.  Boo! :(  I did get measured today though and since January 18th, I have lost 9.25 inches.  I don't remember exactly the numbers, but I l think I lost like 4 1/2 inches off my bust, 3.75 off my waist and 1 inch of my hips. 

I haven't worked out in over two weeks, so tonight as soon as I got home from my weigh in, I did my JM Shred It DVD.  It felt good!  I am determined to get to goal #4 - 25 pounds lost - by this Thursday!  I only have .6 pounds to go, there is no reason I can't do it if I commit!!!!
