Hey ladies
I have finally caught up on all the posts I missed and let me say...was it ever worth my time! I am literally laughing out loud and my roomates are looking at me like I'm crazy-
Resmoo, that quote was HILARIOUS! It actually sort of motivates me to run outside...like I may see something really interesting to entertain me. Congrats on your puppy
You must be sooo excited! Eddie sounds so adorable and I bet he will make a wonderful exercize partner in a few months! I just hope you start to get some sleep...we got a puppy in August and I had NO idea how demanding they are! I also haven't really been able to get online much since Halloween and let me say that I LOVED your pics! They were soo cute! Your costume was great
GonnaSail- That's so awesome that you frequent the OBX! It is most definitely a beautiful area and I was fortunate to grow up there! As for the sand running- I'll have to give it a try when I get a little more in shape. I hope you have a blast...and best of luck with the dieting! It always seems so much harder to diet when I'm away from my normal surroundings. And car rides?
phew...good luck!
LZ- I am sorry to hear about your dog;( While I have a little puppy at my apt. in Wilmington, my parents keep the lab that my brother and I basically grew up with. She is now 13 (not quite as old as Sparky) and she's part german shepard so she has all these hip problems. Suprisingly though, the docs say she is still doing well! It is just so hard to watch them grow old. Our little Molly is always so exhausted and can't climb stairs...best of luck with Sparky. Send the poor little fellow my love. On a brighter note you continue to motivate me with your stories regarding health. As a 22 year old I hate that I tend to place more emphasis on getting skinny than reaping the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. I need to alter my focus a little.
Twinzy- Thanks again for keeping up with all of this
You are truly amazing...I don't think I could do it! And your running...your running...not much to say except that the thought of 5 miles leaves me speachless. Right now I would be happy with a solid 1 mile run, haha. Don't ever forget how awesome it is to be able to run that distance!
Donna- Awesome work with the weight and the ring! I tend to forget that other things shrink when you diet besides just the typical: boobs first, butt, thighs, stomach, etc. I am hoping my feet with shrink...haha. Being a size 10.5 is no fun!
To all of you I didn't get to..know that I am thinking about you ..literally..everytime I open a kitchen cabinet or the fridge I think about you! Best of luck for this 2nd week!
Now, about my previous week/weekend/ day/ etc:
I really hate that I have not been able to check in! Last week was mostly my fault because it was just Halloween and I was really just having fun and not doing anything I was supposed to: school/diet/etc.
As far as this weekend I was about to go INSANE! I wanted so badly to be in touch with all you motivators (the internet was not working at the house). Overall the weekend went pretty well...I didn't really count calories, but I definitely watched what I ate. It was hard because we ate out a lot. I stuck to salads, sushi, water, etc. I'm not saying I was perfect- but I didn't splurge too much either. Also, TOM was visiting so it made me extra proud of my effort! I guess the downfall would be that I took that frustration to Marshals and spent like $200 on things I didn't need. But, oh well. I had fun! Oh yeah- and I didn't work out
. The food habits I have down, but getting off my lazy a**- that's my problem. It's sad because I'm really not
that out of shape, nor do I hate activity that much. I tend to freak myself out mentally and then I dread it so much that I'm miserable- It's all mental with me. sigh.
Now for today: Well, I woke up early (4:30am) this morning and drove back to Wilmington. It has been particularly hard not only because I am not used to getting up before like 9am, but also because I came back to a dirty house that had no groceries and I had to immediately go to school/babysit from 10am- 5pm. Anyways, for food today:
B- baked lays from a gas station
ha....I was sooo hungry and not prepared (210 cals)
L- Lean cuisine white chicken pizza with added bruschetta (425)
S- frozen corn (80)
D- basically a trash bowl, hah- rice, black beans, avocado, tomato, 2 tbps LF sour cream, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 cup corn ...I am not sure of the total cals for that, but the sour cream, cheese and corn is (140)
I did not work out today
I know there are no excuses, but let me at least try:
I'm exhausted and only got 4 hours of sleep. ..haha.
All in all..better day tomorrow. Halloween is over, I am back home, I have a ton of school work to do and I went to the grocery store. I am going to really tighten up this week
The most amazing thing is, I just got on the scale ( it's 7pm and I usually weigh in the morning because I am SO much heavier at night) and it says Im 214.4! I'm not getting hopes up...but I really don't think I gained. As a matter of fact, I may have kicked this dry spell of no weight loss. It could also be that I think TOM is about over....It's kind of early but I have been really horny, haha. It's always tough this week of the month seeing as how I am not in any relationship, lol.
I am taking your advice on the detox bath, Resmoo. I got the epsom salt today and I have been looking forward to this moment all day! I know I need it...
one last note- I am adding another goal for myself. I learned this weekend that a person is supposed to drink half of his/her weight in ounces of water everyday. Apparently it will really help my muscles in my lower back that have been acting up so much. Therefore, I bought myself a nalgene bottle today and I'm really going to track my 110 ounces of water per day.
Sorry that was so long! Hope I didn't bore you guys to death, ha. Have a fabulous day t/m!
