Today, I came across this blog. It isn't about design or fashion, or pretty things that make you smile. It is about raw, truthful things & I love it. I love reading it, and fighting back the urge to cry for the people in it, the babies unwanted, or the ones that don't make it. I wish I could start reading it, from day one and just go through the whole process. I am addicted to this, I have sat here, staring for hours reading, page after page. Falling in love with the baby that blows kisses. :) I hope you will all check her out, and fall in love just like I have. :)

Know your numbers;
Oregon Heart and Vascular Institute came to work today and had a "Know Your Numbers" day. They did a fasting blood draw, blood pressure, and height and weight.
Let's just say- what I thought I weighed..is a bit off. And not in a good way. I actually weight 271 & I am 5'10". Here is are my numbers;
My Value Recommended Level
Triglycerides- 56 Below 150 mg/dl
Total Cholesterol 118 Below 200 mg
HDL "good" chol. 39 Higher than 40 mg
LDL "bad" chol. 68 Below 100 mg
Risk Ratio 3.0 Less than 4.0
Fasting Blood Glu 92 Below 100 mg
Blood Pressue 121/72 Ideal; 120/80 mmHg
Pulse- 82
So I am below in everything, I just need to get my good cholestorol up. They told me to excercise- Check. Lose Weight- Working on it. And eat fish twice a week- maybe. :) I am not that great at eating a lot of fish, but I am going to try. I just don't like cooking it & having it smell up my house.
I am going to work out today & work really hard on pushing myself.. :)

today; blah.
i have been made cry by an old lady yelling at me.
wanted to quit my job more than once.
felt like curling up into a ball and crying
needed my husband
wished i were closer to people
been told i need to smile more
ask a friend a hard question about her life
felt jealous of someone because of their hardwork
felt disapointed by a person I really care for
had my feelings hurt
felt like i would soon be in trouble for something i didn't have control over
And all of this in the last eight hours. I have not had a good day. I am moody, grouchy, upset, tired and so ready for a change of pace. I feel like I am being picked on, and singled out. I feel like my stupid horomones are completely out of whack. I have no one thing to be stressed about & I am literally seconds away from a freak out.

I need a pepsi and a cupcake.
When I get off work, I am going to grab a pair of running shoes from Kaitlyn's closet and take off down Davisson. I need to job and get some of this aggression or whatever it is burnt out of my system. It's just too much to be unhappy, especially when I have nothing that should make me upset. :(
uh. off work in eight minutes.
questions answered..
So I just found this blog & I am pretty much loving it. :) I decided to answer her questions, because well--I wanted to. :)
1. what book are you reading? currently.. the partner by john grisham. But I lost it, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere. And I have like a 1/4 of an inch, until I finish the book.
2. where do you wish you could be right now? Playing outside in the sunshine- if there was any to play in. :)
3. what does your mousepad look like? i don't have one. it's a whole thing my keyboard & mouse sits on. :)
4. if you wanted to and you could quit your job without consequence. what would you say? Thank you for the oppurtunity to work with you. But J and I have decided to start a family.
5. how will you make your dreams come true? Keeping the path that J and I are on, working hard, being in love. :)
6. Favorite Halloween costume ever? well, I do not even remember. I once was a motocycle rider. lol. :) With big hair & a lots of make up @ 8, and the halloween before Justin and I got together, I was a sexy logger- 60lbs ago- cut off shorts, a hickery shirt, supenders, boots, and pig tales. Justin said that's the night he fell in love, lol.
7. Favorite song from back in the day? carrying your love with me, george straight.
8. one thing you could change about you? how snoopy i am. i just wish i didn't care at all.. but sometimes it gets the best of me.

Day 5 & 6; diet.
Yesterday I had the day off..Let's just say- I did horrible. I had some ice cream, I had some carrots, some laughing cow cheese, a banana, a sandwhich, some top ramen, and a pepsi. Yeah. I am not even going to begin to look up the calories. I know I sucked it up. :) But I was at home, and we do not have anything diet in my house, I needed to go through the cupboard & re-organize them and get all the junk into the garbage and all healthy stuff in there.
Today, I have had a banana, and part of a coffee. I will have a light lunch & something good for dinner, since J will more than likely be starving when he gets off work. He is working 14 hours today, which is going to be such a long day for him. We left the house this morning at four, so we will see what time he gets off today. Poor guy. :(
Alrighty, I am going to go browse through your blogs. Hope all is well.
Love

day 3 & 4 diet; [03-27-2010]
I did not do good yesterday. I had chips and dip and mexican food & starbucks. So, let's just say I am at 2500 calories for the 27th. :) I will write out a list of things, when I get a chance.
Today, hasn't been that bad. It's almost 2:36pm and I have had breakfast and lunch for lunch. 3 cups of black coffee with one sugar packet & 4 cups of water. :) I plan to eat something light for dinner. Lunch was my usual subway sandwhich, I am not sure the calories right off the top of my head. :)
Sorry I havn't been that good about my calories today. :) I forgot my shoes & work out pants at home, so I won't be working out today. Or tomorrow. Justin works tomorrow & I have it off, so he will have the car.
Alrighty, I am off work. I will update you all on Tuesday.
-shellllby.

I was nice last night, when I was put into a situation involving a conversation about Justin's ex. whom I probablly would not put out if she was on fire, yet last night- I was nice, I said a nice thing. I didn't have to. But I did. GOLD STAR FOR ME! THANK YOU VERRRRY MUCH.

day 1; diet. [edited]
Today; I have started my diet. I don't have a goal weight or anything. I just want to get back to looking healthy, and get back into shape. I would looove to lose about 75 lbs, and get down to 185-190 lbs. I know that it will take a ton of hard work & diet change and exercise. I am going to try very hard to keep to this diet, and hopefully youguys will check in every so often and ask how things are going. :) Love.
Today I have had:
Breakfast
I feel that I have done pretty good today. My lunch was pretty calorie packed, but I think that I did light cream cheese and it was fat-free and the cream in my coffee, but other than that I feel I did good today, so far. I am going to keep drinking my water through out the day. I plan on buying a couple lemons and lime and cutting them into wedges, it makes it so much easier to drink water if it has a touch of flavor to it, without the added calorie.
I am headed to the gym today, to sign up for a membership. I am really excited and ready for the change. :)
Wish me luck. ♥

Disclaimer: My husband & Father &
Grand-father are/were loggers. I will
not post any comments that are
against the world of logging, and/or
anything that says that it is cruel to the
trees. Every logging company
re-plants more trees than they
cut down, there is an over
abundance of logs in the area where
they are logging. Logging is why
my sisters and I went to college,
why I got married, and the reason
I am still alive, because my father and
husband were able to put food on the
table. Thank you very much.
In honor of my wonderful husband going back to work. I decided to write a nifty little post about what he and my father do & show some pictures & stories. :)
I never thought I would grow up to be a logger-wife. I grew up being a loggersdaughter. I doubt those are one word, but in my world it is. My dad was raised by a family that worked outside and ran their own company for as long as he could remember. When my dad was fresh out of high school/ right before he married my mom, he and his father started up a logging company with my dad's brother. They worked really hard to keep the company running and did really well for themselves. My grandpa was killed in '91 in a logging accident and my dad and his brother branched out to make their own companies.
My father worked so hard to make a living, and do everything in his power to give a life that he wanted. I remember going on road-trips with my mom to visit my dad when he worked out of town, and the employee's coming to pick up their checks. I remember the company Christmas parties and BBQ's that we used to have. My dad was such an amazing logger that a large company sent he and my mom to Australia for a month, to teach companies over there to run large pieces of equipment.
My dad was in magazines and had newspaper articles written about him. In 2000, he ended up selling the bussiness to another larger company and going to work for that person. He still works there, but I know that he misses having his own company. He works long hours, and I love the days that he needs someone to help and either J or I go with him to work.
Justin was right out of high school when we got together, he wasn't sure of what he wanted to do with his life, but he knew that he wanted to be outdoors, and one day while looking in the newspaper, there was a logging job. He had a little experience from being around people and helping them cut firewood and do other things, and he got the job. He has worked for a few different companies. He is currently working for a company out of Salem.
Last night was a strange feeling, excitement, nervousness, lots of different things flying around. :) J got his boots all ready, his rain gear, a sweatshirt, and his old work clothes that have been packed away for at least 6 months. :) I tried taking pictures, but all I got were dirty looks, apparently making a sandwhich for your lunch is not photo worthy. :) Whatev.
So, this morning at 3:45 in the MORNING [!!!] the alarm went off, I got all my stuff together and poured myself into the car, Mr. Talkative got a few one word answers out of me. :) He dropped me off at my mom's around 4 something and I went back to sleep. I could have cleared out my parents entire house, front door unlocked, not a person/dog stirred..I just went and climbed into the first empty bed I found, as there were kids randomly placed through out the house. Lol. :) Woke up at 6:20 and got ready and at 7 something had Emeli bring me to work, where I am currently drinking coffee that is well..almost cold. [UHH! WHATEV. I just walked down, mid-blog post and filled up my coffee, brought it back to my desk and then the lid popped off and spilled coffee on my keyboard. My keyboard already hates me & only works sooometimes. So I had to get one of those air-blowing things and blow out all the coffee.]
My dad. He runs a Feller-Buncher.
A Carriage, it is hung from heavy
wire that drags the logs to the landing
where they are bucked and loaded
onto log trucks. :)
Two Loaders.
Logs getting loaded onto a truck.
A log-loader. :)
Again, My dad. :)
