100 pounds in 1 year

I think that's my favorite piece of art that you've put up so far. I love collages and that's what it looks like. Beautiful!! Well, great job on the 14 pounds! Amazing!!!!

Fatty Fat Poo is going DOWN!!:smash:
 
Hey, it looks like we have similar goals, keep up the good work and let's share our progress!. 14lbs already, I think you are well on your way.
 
Ya I am down 14 pounds, but I need to watch that ( yes I know Alisa, I did say I need to watch the loss rate...lol ;) ).....I may be losing too fast. some days I am losing a pound a day....the hardest thing I am finding about this diet is getting the magic calorie-day numbers.......Im not hitting the mark for my activity level (even though I FEEL like I ma eating plenty or more thatn enough). But Im working on it. I'm really afraid to lose muscle mass, while still losing fat....its a hard balance......I'll get it. Today I probably did good. I had about 3200 calories. I feel kinda full, but Ill let you know how it goes at the scale tomorrow morning.

"Yes!!! Fatty Fat Poo is losing the battle !!!!" Whee!! thanks for the kudos on the art, I love feedback (good or bad), it drives the creative force.

'Bigreen' thanks for stopping by !! We do have similar goals! And yes I will peek in on your progress too. ( and I love to play guitar as well ;) )


I'm watching pre-season football now....will switch back and forth between that and olympics.

I plan on 30 minutes on the elliptical tonight.....but Im still kinda full from dinner, so Ill wait a bit.

My goal this week: I am planning on getting under 270 pound mark......

since I have been lacking on the posts in the past few days, Ill post another peice of visual madness: (this is a page out of my sketchbook, based on the trees I saw when we visited England)...ballpoint pen and highlighter.

Ha ha ha...
I wish I was having the same problem with the weight just dropping off! Well, since I am not, I guess I will just have to use you as part of my motivation. You are doing so well! I just can't have you getting to your goal of 187 before I get to 187, cuz I will still have 52 more pounds to go... lol.

Keep up the great work. Glad to have you back posting with us. :hurray:
 
Michael~I love the tree sketch!! wow! Can I have two favorites? Those three colors together, in those shades = perfection. I love it. What did you go to England for?

Well.....since I was a Studio Art Major, and to get your major you had to complete an internship.......

...my best friend and I (who was also an art major) convinced the Chairman of the Art department to let us go to England (and also Italy, France, Germany, Austria were part of the trip) for our whole last qurater of college.

Our university offered a quarter of overseas college called 'Eurospring' to study in Oxford for 5 weeks and tour Europe for the remaining four weeks........My freind and I exploited this quarter of courses as our internship.

We proposed it to our chairman as a "Walking study of European Art and history"......((to wander around and study as much European art as we could get into))


......which in other words.....exempted us from going to any classes.....and spending a lot of time in the 'pubs'......and hanging out with the locals....and drawing what we saw. (as well as seeing first hand all of the master and historical art and architecture as possible)......but yes....lots of pubs.

hehe...me too.

as for those unfamilar with it......it fits my sense of humor well..

the caption for the picture is "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten"

lol......The first time I saw it it was on a t-shirt.



yes, that is the type of humor I find funny....:sifone:



:leaving:
....I suppose I should feel guilty about all those kittens..............................
 
Man-O-man !

had a pretty active day today :)

was pretty mild on the calories: 2350'ish.

Let's back up....."beep beep beep":dupe:

Yesterday I took in 3200 calories......and I gained 0.4 lbs at my a.m. weigh-in.......so I think that 3000 is my max intake to maintain at the moment....

OK...so today I had 2350'ish, and I feel pretty good....wasnt hungry at all during the day....(I constantly am munching on something during the day). Ill probably have a protein shake to bring that up a little, and to help build the muscles I burned lifting.

I had my usual hour wwalk in the a.m. then after work today, I had an urge to take a bike ride ! lol....like that ever happened lately....it was great ! went for about 45 minutes.....then when I got home, I did some weights,, and beat the crap out of the heavy bag.

Note to self: I really need to get disciplined at the weight lifting.....I did some leg curls and extensions tonight along with bench presses and arm curls...but I have no real regiment......I need to start working in sets and body targets.

anyway,

Its shower time, then realx before bed.

Note to Fatty Fat Poo: "You're losing Butt-munch."




Today's art: A painting of "Rissa"
 
Sounds like you had a great day! I really want to go bike riding now! I have a bike, but I need to get a seat so my toddler can join me. I bet he would LOVE that. Speaking of bike riding, I'm buying an exercise bike next week! I cannot wait!! I rode on one on Sunday and spent almost an hour on there and it only seemed like 20 min. b/c it went by so fast. Anyway, you are doing so great!
 
Off Topic:


I just pulled a hang nail.........hurt like a M*$*#*$%@*#$%r

felt like it ripped up to my wrist.




.....why do I do that?


....I always pull on them.........wonder why I never learn.

?
 
Is the painting that you posted today of Maiah? Cuz it looks like her from the picture you posted of the two of you at the beginning of your diary. But the title is "Rissa" so maybe I missed something. Just wondering. This one is my favorite so far. It is just SO HAPPY!

Gotta admit that he one of the two kids reminded me of Hansel & Gretel when they got lost in the forest, and I honestly had to close it right away. I guess that's a good thing to be able to get that kind of reaction... but I prefer to smile inside like I did with this one.

Anyway,
I think your workouts sound really intense already, so I am sure you will get the weigt lifting down the way that you want. Sorry about the hangnail. I can only imagine what you can paint with that kind of pain coursing through you, lol!!!

Have a good night.
 
The painting isn't actually Maiah, it is Rissa, she is my ex's daughter from a previous marriage....hence the similarities in looks ;) Rissa is now a teenager, both girls got thier beautiful looks from their mother :blush5: obviously...lol.

And, funny you mentioned the Hansel and gretel lost in the forest...very perceptive ;).....that drawing I did from an actual photograph of two children waiting for a train to a concentration camp in the 30's...........so yes...the lost in the forest really came closer than you know.:eek:...hence I titled it 'Fear'.
 
Hi Artmonster,
Great log! I have the same goal to lose 100 lbs. I was shooting for September when I turn 40, but I have only been fluctuating up and down. Now my goal is to lose the 100 lbs by my 41st birthday.
I will be checking out your log for motivation.

Does anyone know if it is possible to suscribe to a log?

Anyway, great job, keep it up!
