A new lease on life - Xenon's Diary :)

Hey girl!

Congrats on the 2.8lb loss!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

What a motivating and encouraging story about the individual losing 300lbs+. That's amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Love the positiveness (I could totally use some) and the milestones you've set for yourself.

I really do admire you for juggling all the things you do. You got this and you're well on your way!

Have an amazing week! :)

This is awesome. your milestones that you have laid out are probably SUCH good motivators for you. and the fact that you said that you have been thinking of them for a few days is probably a really good sign. keep up the good work! i look forward to hearing about you hitting these ;)

Thanks so much Jes, I hope you have an amazing week as well :D Juggling is picking up so I may be scant this week!




I have not been feeling well for a few days and I vomited twice since yesterday amongst other things >_> Coursework is picking up and I am trying to work ahead a little so I'll try to update as often as I can. Have a great week everyone!
 
Hay!
Thanks for the positive word on my thread. Keep going! More steps forward than back will get ya skinnyer (is skinnyer spelled right?) lighter? Littler? more slender? oh well you know what I mean. Keep up the good work.
 
LOLOL I think it's skineeEr :p Thanks Brawny:D.

First of all, what the hell is up with the "T" on my keyboard...WTF?! I have to press it in the corner or press it really hard for it to work...I guess I'll have to open it up...so if this is my last post for a good while, you'll know why :D

Doing good on the diet this time around. Went off the salt cold turkey, but seasoned the food really well so I don't miss it. Didn't eat my first meal until 5pm today and I felt like I was going to faint or something, but I did not feel tempted by fast food or anything...I just waited until i got home and pretty much stuck to plan :D YAYYYYY I also managed to get in a bit of cardio and strength training without bumping into my son who kept walking in circles around me LOL I'm really looking forward to weigh in on Saturday:) I really want to lose 100lbs this year and I find it so motivating that so many people have done it in 7-8 months. Stopping by Alyssa's diary today rocked...she lost 100 lbs!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO :) So I'm totally stoked and determined to lose it this year.

One thing...well two things I wanted to mention
1> I find that being on a structured diet works for me somehow...I feel more healthy and like things are in control. I normally spend so much time trying to decide what to eat because "I don't have time" to cook and usually find fast food a bit disgusting...but I get it due to convenience. Now I've found some quick ways to prepare good meals and I am happy to be hopefully saving the $$ I give Zaxby's, Chick-fil-A, Hardee's and whoever else LOL
2>Drinking tea really helps me with comfort food cravings:) And it's totally guilt free. I have stevia, but I usually drink my teas unsweetened...just water and the tea...the only exception would be black tea and black tea chai which I like sweetened with milk. I have some green tea chai and really I never knew such an animal existed before purchasing it lolol.

/end ramble

Hope everyone is doing well!

He enters wearing full safari gear and binoculars:
Shhhhhh...Be very quiet...Im stalking a green chai....
Ha ha.
 
Whoa I meant to hit user cp and hit a link to an extreme bodybuilding site accidentally -_-
I am really trying to work on my strength because I have become such a weakling lol I used to be able to dance for a long time and now everytime I dance I become aware of my muscles due to pain or exertion--what a shame! One day at a time I guess.
Today I plan on doing squats, crunches, lunges, and some other arm back and leg things i don't know the name of....I think one is called the plank or something.
 
Wow the more I’m reading everyone’s diary’s the more I’m inspired! You are doing great keep at it. and as for the little slip up of the brownie after your row with your partner I can totally sympathise but seriously don’t do what I’ve done time and time again: 'oh well there's no going back now ill start again next month'. Seems like you have the motivation to keep going through those things and I think you’re great for that.

All the best
Laura
 
Thanks so much Laura :) I love your picture with the rose.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. After my brush with the brownie I've been keeping myself together so far. My husband even made some triple decadence chocolate cake or something like that and it has just been sitting in the fridge. In fact today I was starving on the way back home, I was on the phone and my mom was encouraging me to get something on the road as i usually do...I managed to fight the feeling for another hour until I was able to eat. I really have to do it this time!

Thanks for reminding me that winning the little battles are important to the victory :D
 
I have another little motivator I’ll pm you as I’m not sure if it'll be seen as advertising on here.
Sometimes you have to think to yourself what’s worth more to me, my health, myself image, my self confidence, those extra few years with my family or....a brownie? When one puts it like that you'll never want to touch a brownie again! Mm *thought to self: put that on fridge* *waddles of to doodle*
Hehe
Laura
 
Still lurking :)

Although I'm off track with my goal atm, getting there but a lot slower than I would have liked!!!

You seem to be doing so well at yours though :)
Keep up the good work and I can't weight (you see what I did there :p) for you to weigh in on saturday.
I've got my foot ready to kick that chicken up the bum if he doesn't move!! :p

LOLOLOLOL Thanks redpiggy :D I have been sticking with it and exercising...did all of my strength things yesterday except for the plank. I'm hoping Saturday will be good, if not....poor chicken lol

I have been having an otherwise AWFUL and absolutely terrible day. I think the little one is gassy. The pediatrician recommended a few drops of Mylicon, so we're going to give it a try today in hopes that it will let him sleep better. He slept four hours last night and took three hours to go back to sleep....and it seems he will be missing his nap today. I'm still eating according to plan and starting to enjoy it so I guess that is one plus for today.

Hope everyone is having a good day!
 
He's taking his little nap now.

I was just reading Tik's diary and it reminded me of something that annoyed me earlier today. Those people in my life who always say they want better for me, but when I start to do better they try to discourage me...what is up with that anyways? I know my best friend is totally going to go crazy if I'm thinner than her when she sees me next year. I'm not the type who likes to show off on people and it has always bothered me if people are jealous of me, and these things have actually prevented me from even trying to achieve things in the past. Now I consider that these are problems my best friend, et. al. have to sort out within themselves. I have to take care of my self regardless!

If your making people jealous your doing it right! Use it to strive beyond.
stay strong.
 
Thanks Tob -_- it just sucks when you expect ppl to be happy for you and they are not. I know we shouldn't really expect things from ppl, but I guess from friends and family you sort of do.

Still doing good with the diet and trying to fit some exercise in today.
 
Sorry redpiggy,
There was only supposed to be a few seconds of suspense as I pulled myself together but my son had other plans -_-
I lost 9.4 lbs! Down to 263.6. Thanks so much for your support everyone:hurray:
