A new beginning...

angry? i'm furious !! no, not really - but i'm all for using whatever energy we can muster to continue on the weightloss journey. i feel like i'm learning a lot just by attempting this. i guess its not only the destination that counts..

with you all the way, newleaf!
 
Hey upped my cardio a bit today, and I'm really happy about it. Boy this anger thing really getting me some where!! :) Plus I guess over all, I have success if its not in the scale or in my clothes, that I'm beginning to learn how not to participate in emotional eating habits! :) So.. I feel grateful for that. It means that perhaps some day, my world won't revolve around what I eat, or can't eat, or how little, how much, etc.! :) Thanks for all the pumped angry women out there, who are pissed enough to get off the pounds!!! So glad I started this little angry weight-losing mob!!
 
Ok.. I said I was going to post these, but I'm not thrilled that they're my measurements by any means! But that is ALL going to change!!

Waist: 33
Hips: 45
Thigh 25.5
Arms: 12
Chest: 38
 
I am so proud of you for posting your measurements! Now everytime you want to cheat or not workout; think about, or look at, those measurements and GET ANGRY!!!! :mad: You are going to be a gorgeous bride!!

Okay, gotta go workout cuz I know you'll be checking on me in the morning.;)

Oh yeah, there's a book I think you should read because I know you deal with food issues (same as me). It's called "It was Food vs. Me... And I Won". I have it and I'm reading it now. Check your library for it or, if you want, I can send this one to you when I'm finished with it. I think you might benefit from it.

Hi, NewLeaf :) you're doin' great! Anger is a wonderful motivator - don't you think?:D It works for me every time! I posted my measurements on *gulp* the fridge. Now every time i want to open that door I see these numbers on big bright paper..... then the door usually closes! LOL Yup, anger is the best motivator..... ;) A beautiful bride you WILL be! Keep up the good work.:)
 
Thank you guys! I appreciate all of your sweet comments! :) And yes..anger is really motivating me! :D Its working out wonderfully..and knowing those measurements are posted here, lol.. I can't wait till I can post some altered ones!!
 
Hey Paula, the book sounds great. I going to go search for it now!! :D Thanks so much for your supportive comments. Now I'm off to go peak in your diary, see what you've been up to!!

Looks like your doing great! i'm proud of you!

You know what I do when I want to eat? I have a piece of sugar free gum and a nice glass of water. The chewing helps me not to be hungry!
 
Thanks NewBride! You just reminded me of the pk of gum I've got stashed in my purse just for this purpose. Once this water is gone, its all I'll be having until mid-morning snack..thanks!!
 
Ok, so not really weight loss related, but I'm having a poor me moment. lol! :)
In all seriousness, my FH has been working like a dog, at his full time job, and his side business designing websites. So from the minute he gets in the door, after he eats, he's glued to his laptop. I feel like I'm on my own lately! I know its important for him to finish this latest website for a business, but how I stop being so selfish and feeling like a unattended to child? Alas.. I guess i'll get over it, but has me feeling a bit mopy today. And figured where else to post it but in my journal in here. I should be grateful he's not lazy and unemployed or something much worse. :)
 
Get that book I was talking about and read it while he's working... Maybe you can sit close to him while he works and you read so you're still together?
 
Good idea Paula. :) I'm just moping, because its been like this for awhile. I am hoping he comes up for air on my birthday. lol!!
 
I know exactly how you feel. Now that Josh doesn't train for fights anymore, we've been spending so much time together and it's wonderful. I didn't realize how much I missed him til he was around all the time!
BTW- Our measurements are so close it's unreal!
 
New Leaf,
I know exactly how you feel. There were times when I felt like my husband wasn't paying enough attention to me, and it made me really mopey. Now I feel like we are spending way too much time together!

Keep up the good work! You are doing great!

Oh, by the way! I am angry too!

I hear you. It's hard when you want attention and your man is too busy! I say find a good movie with some hot guys in it to watch. That will divert your attention. Plus men are easy, as soon as you find other stuff to do, they are all over you.
 
Haha, thank you girls!! :)

Happy Note of today: tried on three different pairs of size 8 jeans and I could get them up and zipped! Still need to do a little more work, but that was a nice moment!! Next..bring on those size 6's!!!
 
Hey there! I know what you mean about wishing FH would come up for air! But look at it like this.. He is making more money to put towards your wedding! :) Congrats on the size 8's that is awesome!! Hope you have a great day tomorrow!!
