50 Pounds to Subaru Journal

Thanks :) I will count it as progress.

The scale did end up higher, but it was unreasonably low before (3 lbs in 3 days). I'm still under my current goal line. I am scheduled to be at 188.4 today and I'm at 187.2. I'll definitely take it.

Today I buy material for the costume <winces at pain of money spending> This is by far the most expensive part, but I have 50% off coupons so hopefully it will end well under $100.
 
All sounds good to me!!

By the way, those pictures of fat are disgusting!! I don't want that inside me, under my skin, swimming about in my arteries, yuk talk about motivation!
 
I did an awesome job today. I woke up, did 20 minutes of DDR then a half hour workout show. At work I felt really hungry, so I ate cottage cheese for breakfast, then some Sprouts kettle corn for a snack. At lunch I had a salad and more string cheese.

This is where I realized I am a genius. I didn't really want salad, but I had just stocked up the office kitchen with lettuce & salad fixin's, so I would have had to bother go get other food.

After work a friend and I went to Joanns, and there is a Chickfila near by. Chickfila is a weakness of mine. We went - but I got the soup!!!!! Hooray me! I must admit I eyed my friend's sandwich a little bit much, but I showed a level of restraint!!!!!

For tomorrow's food and my 4th meal I made mushroom chicken. Instead of a bed of rice or ramen like I usually do, I made black eyed peas. I thought I'd start trying beans as my food base instead of rice or ramen. It's something psychological that each meal must have a meat, potato/rice/noodle, and a veggie. The veggie can be skipped, but you just can't get rid of the rice. You have to eat the chicken on something! So, I thought beans might make a good substitute that would keep me full longer.

Tonight I completed Week 1 of Couch to 5k, and then when weight training I found that I could move up a plate on most exercises! YAY!
 
Wow Girl, What a spot on day!!
And would you look at the ticker - you've passed your halfway point!!
 
Yay!! Don't beat yourself up about the Panda Express days. You can see the change when you make the better choices and you still stayed in your range! This can't be a lifetime change if you lock yourself into a tofu and salad eating box;) Nasty fat pics. It is amazing how much fat 5lbs is made of!! no wonder jeans are getting a bit looser!:D Congratulations on your good day yesterday!! I hope you have a good day today and tommorow too:)
 
Thanks for the encouragement!

I finished the petticoat for my costume today! I'll post pictures soon. The waist is elastic, and I didn't finish it off, so that I can adjust as needed approaching the convention. I'll post pictures tonight!
 
Yay! I'm so thrilled. Yesterday I went to my mother's house (So many bad food stories start that way...) She was having a cinnamon roll and I couldn't resist. But, I got her to split one with me then I filled up on chili instead. I ended the day under 1500 calories!
 
You're rockin' there Llamabean :)
That's the way to do it, to be able to eat what you want and still come in spot on in calories!

Good job :D
 
Yay!! 186! You are doing great! You'll be smokin' in your Subaru costume! I am so excited to see it:) btw I drive a Subaru;) he he he I think your Subaru is much hotter... mine is a mom mobile:D have a good day!
 
Yeah I can't wait to see pics hee hee!!

I'm gonna post some pics of me in dress at the spring ball- now THAT thought is motivation!!!
 
My roommate said she would email the picture she took to me and never did :-X I may have to do the oh-so-internet-awesome picture of self in mirror.

It blows my mind how quickly someone can lose weight. 2-3 lbs a week! A week isn't that long! The human body really is pretty remarkable.

My size 16 pants are starting to get a bit loose. Not quite down to buying new pants yet, but I'm feeling it.

Ive also noticed that I'm going to need new shirts sometime soon as well. I can keep shrinking under my shirts for a while, but they're starting to be obvious that they once covered a larger me.

OMG my feathers just arrived! <squee!!!!> Tonight I am going to be making wings for my costume! <squee again!!!!>

Sweet! I made wings out of feathers once. Took me four hours to glue each feather one by one to the card! It was fun! I can't wait for pics:D And 185!! yay! It is amazing how much can be lost in a week. I have had good luck recently and am enjoying it but I am assuming it will slow down after awhile... but then again look at Biggest Loser- they would lose phenominal amounts in only a week:) and they just kept going! I am betting you will be under 180 around the end of the month! Hope you have a great day:)
 
I didn't get to the wings yesterday - I cleaned my entire apartment instead. I even rearranged stuff. I'm so impressed with myself.

Actually - I am a bit of a slob. But, if I can discipline myself enough to lose weight surely I can keep my room clean :)

I am excited to do wings. I wouldn't have attempted such a revealing costume except that it has wings which i haven't done before.

I start class tonight. The class runs from 6:30-9:15 so it will cut into my evening workout time. I am going to try to get out of work early so that I can still work out before class. Man I sure hope this won't be 3 hours of boredom....
 
Class went well. I wasn't able to get my workout in though - but I did do a half hour of DDR. I'm up to 185.0 but trying to be good enough today to fix it.

I got into a pair of jeans that i haven't worn in a year! They are the only jeans that I very specifically remember actually fatting out of. Most of my other jeans just sort of wore out and when I bought new ones they were larger. These just got too tight. And now they fit again!
