Looking to lose an extra human I apparently picked up along the way

Sending you lots of love Vee. Hope things will be OK soon xoxo
 
I'll be fine, eventually. Just have to swim in crap for a bit. It's not anything health-related thank-goodness.

Thanks for the support.
 
No, nothing like that. Job is fine too. It's about me and only me and no one is sick or anything. I'm just having to endure some emotional discomfort for a bit, but ultimately I'll be fine, and potentially better off for the experience.
 
Well, I finally get a fresh start today, and am ready to get myself in the kind of shape I always wanted to be in.

183 pounds and 32.7 inches on the waist. I suspect both will drop quickly for a bit before starting the long slow slog downward. So without further ado, I'm getting after it. Photo time!

:D I was going to say he looked gorgeous, but thought I had better tone it down a bit. After all, I am a happily married woman! But seriously Vee- you look GOOD!
 
Thanks guys. I'm sure it's just the lighting. :blush5:

181 this morning, 32.3 inches on the natural waist.

A week of no workouts has left me a little bit winded but I at least got most of my cardio workout in (or at least the hardest part of it). The weather continues to be brutal here: 110 degrees today, 111 degrees tomorrow. Just got my electric bill :eek:

Gonna try and nail my lifting session tomorrow. Need to do a better job with my nutrition than I have been, but my stress levels were so bad that it was hard to focus on eating right. Time to right the ship and I did so yesterday. So far so good today as well.
 
Sure Vee.
Well done on righting the ship. We have had a bit of a blizzard in Tasmania & you have had extreme heat! *Seasons* I guess we have to have them!
 
Okay, take 2. Got very drunk on Friday night and spent the rest of the weekend eating in order to not feel so lousy.

So we're starting again at 183 pounds and 32.2 inches on the waist. Gonna up my calories some (back essentially to the level at which I lost all of those 200 pounds) and see if that will cut down on the backsliding. Might also improve my performance in the gym.

Plan is to do that until around November or so. Then the plan will be to up the calories around maintenance (which is around 2700) and then see if I can't put some muscle on.
 
Good luck with that. I decided yesterday to stop trying to lose weight for the moment and concentrate on not binging anymore. Which is a somewhat similar concern, I guess.
 
Ok, 180.5 weight and 31.8 waist this morning.

Have resolved to eat more bacon and eggs. Now that I have the extra calories I can do it. Not only are they yummy, but they have more protein than my oatmeal and also tend to increase testosterone levels. Had an omelet this morning but forgot to take bacon out of freezer. So instead had a ham taco with a corn tortilla.

Onward and downward!
 
178.5 this morning, still 31.8 inches on the waist.

Jen, to explain it was an impromptu ham taco. I had finished my omelet and realized I didn't have enough calories or protein. I had a slightly greased hot/warm pan and some deli ham and a whole ton of corn tortillas. 5 minutes later = ham taco.

Was told last night that I was weird and needed to be less weird. I explained that this wasn't really a conscious decision I was making so changing it could prove difficult. There needs to be like calorie counting for weirdness or something so that I can lose a bunch of weird and be normal like everyone else...

I don´t want to hurt your feelings but this made me laugh so much :D I LOVE your proposal for a weirdimeter and I raise you a weirditector to locate folks interesting enough to get to know. Embrace the weirdness, dude, people who look down on it are boring.
 
What LaMa said. Embrace the weird! Normal is boring. :)
