[BansheeBabe]

You guys are young pups!
Me and....uhhhh....whats her name again?.....Have been married for 19 years this June!
(just kiddin about the whats her name part, dont tell her okay?...she might whup my butt) (then again Ive lost 54lbs I bet I could almost outrun her skinny tail)

Yes, we are quite young... I'm 23 and he's 22...I'm 11 months older than him, which makes me a cougar... rawwwr! But out here in the great state of utah, if you are serious for more than a year, you get married and we were serious at 16, but it still took awhile... damn, I hope my kids don't do that!

Anywho, HA! You are funny! That's a great accomplishment, 19 years! I won't tell... you guys should have a race or a wrestling competition or something and tell me how it goes... I got 20 bucks on Brawny!

Hey girlee! Just stoppin by to see what going on in the life of a Banshee!! I have been meaning to come by and I keep getting side tracked! Dont worry about the cold stone.. you did good! 1/2 a serving!! I don't even trust myself that much. One taste and it's over!!! Especially the COOKIE DOUGH BATTER with marshmellows and carmel!!! Ahhhhh!! My family doesn't play when it comes to ice cream. Last night I made those pillsbury cinnamon twists with icing for my 7 year old and I didn't even taste the icing.. my daughter is soo cute. She said mommy don't eat it (i know her motive trust me), you will get to wear a dress when you lose weight!! hahaha.. Super cute. Anyways I stayed strong even though they smelled delicious. Im just afraid to brake the pattern I have with my eating etc.

You only have a few more days to go until you can hit the weights!!! Woot Woot!!!

Ok im off the possibly blog on my dairy.. hohumm.. aunt flow is here

Thanks so stopping by cutie! You are so much stronger than I am right now. I seriously don't know whats wrong with me.... Your kids sound so adorable! No, don't go back to eating that crap, I tell myself that everyday and I know, every once in awhile is fine, but I don't trust myself either.

I know, I can't wait to lift that iron baby!

Yes, you need to catch us up! I was looking in it the other day and didn't see anything new, I'll check today! Stupid Aunti Flow! I don't get a monthly thing because of BC I'm on, but I still get the symptoms of it... and I'm right there with ya...

 

[BansheeBabe]

Shitty 172!

Yeah, I gained a pound and a half. I know us women fluctuate alot but I'm so bummed that I can't be consistent! Especially since I am doing the challenge, I really want to do well and contribute towards the team.

I can't blame my body entirely for what happened last week, the only thing I goofed up on was I had sushi on Saturday. Maybe I was over my calories or maybe I gained muscle? When I took my measurements yesterday, I had lost a couple of inches in my hips, which is a good thing, but gained weight... maybe it's water weight. I'm not sure...

On a negative/positive note.. my husband is going out of town from this Wednesday to next Wednesday and will alternate weeks until June. I am totally getting all depressed just thinking about it. However, I'm going to turn it around for a positive and just workout andl live at the gym like crazy. AND, he is the one who likes to eat out so I won't have the temptation to eat out when he isn't here. So, hopefully, this week will be a big drop, as I'm slowly starting to see my old self again. My family and friends are commenting how great I look and I saw an old high school friend and he was floored at the 20 pounds I had lost. To me, it's like, I still have a long ways to go, but I guess to other people I have made a huge change. So that was an big ego booster but still, I am my own worst enemy!

Today is a Monday and I'm feeling kinda blah, but I'm off to check everyone else's progress!

 

[M_Marie]

Hey hey chin up woman. I gained like a 1.5 pounds last week for a day... the next day i was down 2 lbs......


sometimes you just have to take a BIG POOP!!!!!



HAHAHHAHAHAHA sorry just had to say that! hehehehe

 

[solty]

I do the same thing with watching the scale. It's a really bad habit I can't seem to break. Taking pictures and measuring helps a lot because you can see progress there. You've lost inches so you know your going the right way. This is such a fun diary to read, your a lot more entertaining then me lol. Your doing a great job too! It's helping to keep me motivated so keep it up!

 

[It'sTime22]

Way to turn your positive to a negative!! And it is such a good feeling when ppl notice your hard work isn't it? And sooo don't worry about the 1.5 lbs. It is probably water or something....you will drop it like it's hot (did I realllyy just say that...lol....dork).

Anyway....thanks to your motivating pick-me-upper msg (and Solty's) I got back at it hard core today....and it feels awesome!! So thanks again buddy!!

It is rainy and blah here too .....uck!!! Makes you want to just crawl under the blankets and hide! Here's to a better week!! Ciao!!

 

[BansheeBabe]

I'm in a funk...

This week has been so crappy and I'm not really feeling my best lately. I worked out on Monday and lifted weights for the first time. It definately felt awesome but man was my peck muscles way freaking weak.... I couldn't do any exercise without feeling a weird stretching. I know they are still trying to reconnect back to my chest wall so I'm not going to be too overwhelmed. I was able to lift weights and do my arms, traps, shoulders, back and abs. My arms are so freaking sore!! It's way bad today too. I'm excited to get back lifting weights and hope I can pick up losing the weight again, quicker...

Also, today is the first day of my hubby being gone and he didn't really leave on a good note. I hate him working for his dad, it really causes problems between us; however, I did finally schedule a counseling session for next Tuesday so hopefully, I can hash out some issues with her then. Other than that, I just having been feeling not myself and just kind of in a funk.. Hopefully, it will pass and get back to normal.

Thanks everyone for checking in on the diary and I'll be in touch!

If it makes you feel any better, he's traveling so much so I can sex him up. We've been having cyber sex with one another for a few years now, but we've decided to finally meet. I just hope that he wasn't lying about his 9 1/2" pole of lust.

Nice, Chef, nice... you're crazy! That's probably where he is going... how can he resist??

 

[M_Marie]

awww hunnie hang in there! i know i get sappy and sad when my hunnie leaves even for a day... it will be ok.... you will have so much time to focus on you though too! That will be a nice positive! hehe.


Im sure working up the strength in your boobies will take a bit but hey! at least you got a sweet rack and now you can lift weights again... i know you were really looking forward to being able to do that again.

Thanks for your support Mel! Yes, it's totally going to be fine and things are better now that we talked alot yesterday! Yes, I need to actually start swinging a bat and throwing a ball and see how much of my chest muscles I actually use in this sport.. which by the way, my first game is in two weeks...

 

[BansheeBabe]

I am so sore!!!

Which is a good thing in my book but I am so tired and so lazy because my legs can't make it.

Yesterday was a better day than I have been having this week. Work went a lot better and I did cardio for an hour last night! Whew! I got to 35 minutes and I was like, I can make it to 40... then, I made it 45 and was like heck, I'm going all the way to 60! So, I totally did and by the time I got home, I realized my clothes were completed soaked. It was gross but liberating! The machine also said I burned 803 calories! Booya baby!

But unfortunately for me right now, I am still stuck at 172. I am probably gaining muscle this week because I have been lifting weights everday this week for 30 mintues at a time and I also have been doing the same amount of weight and reps that I did 4 weeks ago. So, if I don't lose weight this week, by golly, my inches better have at least gone down!!!

Well, today is Friday and I have a follow up appointment for the "girls" and I'm sure it will go well. Then I'm having a ladies night tongiht with the hubby gone. I'm excited but eh, I'd rather hang out with my husband...

Well friends, I'm off, until later!!!

Good for you for pushin thru an hour of cardio. Especially on a machine!! Keep up the good work and I am sure you have a big drop comin. (and I know how you feel..I always make plans that sound great, but when it comes down to it I'd rather be with my hubby).

Here's to a great week!!!

 

[solty]

awesome job on the cardio! it takes a lot to keep me entertained so it's not so boring to stay on for an hour.. handy that this gym has tv's on the machines lol.

A ladies night sounds fun I understand about the hubby thing though. Mine is in the military so we have to deal with that a lot. His time overseas was the worst of it though.

I'm sure you'll see the scale start moving again soon. You're still recovering and your body is adjusting, it'll catch up.

 

[Derrick]

Don't worry about being stuck at a weight. It is going to happen no matter who you are. I have not been able to drop below 194 for almost 4 weeks now! I fluctuate between 194 and 197 all week long. I can't wait to see 193 on the scale but hey, I'm patient. If I'm stuck here for a while then so be it. I just keep exercising a lot and I try to eat as healthy as possible but I know the eating is probably what is keeping me stuck.

Just keep doing good things for yourself! You're doing great.

 

[M_Marie]

I'll tell you what... pushing on from 30 min of cardio to an hour at first was AWFULLY hard for me..... but now its easier.....


and hey... ive now hit two plateaus... only like 5 lbs from each other... it will break soon. as wierd as this sounds.... around my period i put on about 4 lbs. Then i seem to lose about 2-3 on top of those 4 directly after... keep that in mind!!!!


maybe you will too??? maybe im just a weirdo hehe

 

[BansheeBabe]

HCG anyone???

Ok, to start off, Friday, Saturday and I Sunday, I did not work out. Friday, I had a Dr.'s appointment and it threw off my whole routine... Later that night, some girlfriends and I went and got some chinese (which I had brown rice and schezwan (spelling?) chicked which was really spicy. We also went and saw 17 Again... so good! Zac Efron is a cutie and the girls in the audience were totally into it! Then on Saturday I hung out with my Mom and we did some shopping at Ulta and DSW. I got some pretty sweet shoes too!! We also had Mimi's for Lunch. I think I did pretty well and had a turkey, avacado and bacon sandwhich with fruit.

For weight loss, I went back down to 170 on Sunday, but this morning I weighed myself and I was back up to 173. HUHHHH? I am seriously getting so sick of this weight loss crap. I have been stuck in the low 170's since January!!! I don't know what to do and I am at my wits end. I have a couple of options that I am going to try: A) Change my birth control from Depo-Provera to a daily pill or B) try this HCG Hormone treatment that allows you to lose 25-34 pounds in 40 days. My plastic surgeon gave me a packet about it and I'm about 60% sure of it. They give you 40 needles with the hormone that you give yourself daily. If you reach 34 pounds before the 40 needles is used, you stop. The only downside is you can only eat 500 calories a day and eat only clean, raw foods. Also, you can still work out, but cardio is limited to about 15-20 mintues a day. I know this is a total cop-out but I am getting so sick of my body not responding to weight loss.

Plan of action: I'm going to try switching birth controls first and make it through softball season (April 29th-November 1st) and see how that goes. If I still have not lost the 25 pounds I need to lose, I'm trying the HCG hormone. Obivously, it would totally ridiculous if I haven't lost that much weight my then, by since it's now been 3 months and I haven't lost a pound, I would say I'm getting pretty desperate.

Honestly, I know what people probably think and I try to talk myself into daily. Inches matters more than pounds, your clothes should be the true measure. But how in the heck am I supposed to fit into those size 6-8 jeans, when I'm still at the weight of 170?? I don't think so.. people who weigh between 130-145 are a size 6.

Anywho, that's enough of my rant and some good news is, my hubby is coming home today!! Two days early!! But, will be gone all next week. Well I'm kinda in a bad mood today but I'm off to thank you guys for reading up and everyone else have a good day!!

Ohhh my gosh.. im seriously lagging at keeping my progress posted! Thank goodness Aunt flow is ghossssssssst! I used to be on Depo way back in the day.. I hated it!! Made me fat lol.. well that was my excuse.. but seriously alot of women on are that and I have heard that you hold onto the weight for some reason, I think you should try another one. At least so you have a cycle.. flushhh you out lolllllllllllllll..

Its a bummer whn we are stuck in a plateau.. depressssssssssssing. I have never heard of that new injection that you mentioned on your most recent post. 500 cal sounds scary to me. I tried the Optifast years ago and it was like 400 cal and you only have shakes and one solid meal.. NO BUENO!! I dropped like 25 but that was all I could handle.

Yay for hubby coming home. I was gone for the weekend for girl time in Cali.. had a blast but missed my husband and daughter big time!

Ok babe! Have a fab day.. WORK IT.. get out of that funk!

Hey girly! Thanks for stopping by! I know, tell me about it... I think for sure I'm going to switch BC's... just to see what happens...

Oh yeah, 500 cals is not good but it is seriously the new craze everywhere. It's like a hormone that only is carried when you are pregnant but somehow targets only your fat stores and burns that for your energy for the day. I have like a 25 page packet that explains it all.

A weekend in Cali sounds amazing! I hope you had fun but it looks like you did well with the 1.9 pound weight loss! Yeah, I need to get out of my funk... *slaps self*
