Beagle's No Lie Zone

Beagle said:
Also, today I discovered an entirely new awkward sensation: underwear falling off my butt, under my pants, while I walk around. I got no panty-belt to prevent this, and can't exactly reach down and pull them up while I'm at work. I may have to duct dape my underoos to my hips to keep them up!

uh... o_O;;
ummm... Beagle? I uhh... ^__^;; Have a better solution. Have you considered uh... buying new underwear? ^__^;; It's obviously way to big for you if it's falling down while u're walking. plus that means the elastic may be dying/dead. Time to go shopping for new undies! :D You can even go buy pretty cute ones now. It's the perfect excuse to buy yourself new stuff... It's old and doesn't fit. :)
 
Well duh I already bought new underwear, basic cottons are only like $10 for a pack of 6, I'm not THAT poor! :D But the day that I had "slippage" I just wasn't expecting it, and there wasn't much to do about it in the middle of work.

Anyways, I need to fess up a little bit. I ate BAD yesterday :( I was doing okay most of the day, and had a nectarine and a few grapes for late breakfast, and then a small handful of bretons (gourmet whole grain crackers) for snack a few hours later. Then, I went to my best friends for our bi-weekly movie night (Candyman and The Shining this week) and got a *footlong* sub (chicken bacon ranch, though I didn't get any extra sauces on it), and then we split a box of crunch'n'munch caramel and each had a Smirnoff Ice! I was absolutely depressed to see the scale go up three pounds, so I've been throwing back water like no tomorrow today trying to get rid of all the salt and sugar and anything else I could. I felt so gross this morning I didn't even want to eat breakfast, but I had a bowl of plain cornflakes and skim milk anyways because I have to stop this habit of making up for or planning for bad days with semi-starvation.

On a postive note, work is unbelievably slow-going today, and I've had a chance to read through two trashy gossip rags and still get a good start on a new drawing (hopefully I'll finish this one to some sort of degree that I can share it). Oh, and yesterday I splurged a little on myself and picked up some new paints and canvas boards. Now I just need to figure out what to paint with them.
 
awwh. I've had days like that. It's important to remember the "after eating" feeling so we don't splurge and over-indulge again next time. I try to take it as a lesson learned. Try not to feel too bad about it. *huggles*
 
I love your new avatar!!!! Very appropriate considering your upcoming nuptials.

And yay for the big panties!!! It must be contagious around here, you're the second person I've read about tonight with that problem.
 
Hey Beagle, I used to envy people who felt sick when they cheated until a few weekends ago when I pigged out on pretzels and had the worst stomach cramps from all that bulk. Don't feel too bad about it. You didn't go too far over and splurging like that I think helps prevent plateaus in the long run.
 
So much to talk about... I don't know why I haven't been online that often to keep up with you guys and to keep you updated!

First of all: I'm down another 2lbs, to 174! This means that once I get myself cleaned up for work, I should go and update my Photo thread, though I think I'll post them in here too. I really want to lose 14 more pounds before mine and Josh's next anniversary, which is Oct 2. I'm not sure if I'll want/need to lose anymore at that point, I guess we'll see how it looks when I get there!

Second on the list: I went shopping! :D I sorta went down a size, it depends on which brand I'm buying, but my clothes were all at least a 16 last time I went shopping, and this time the biggest item was a 15 - but I'm not sure how to handle it since all brands mark their sizes by two's, but some use even numbers and some use odd numbers, and so I'm not sure if a 15 is the same as 14 or a 16. But hey, I'll take it where I can get it! I was even so bold to pick up SHORTS and a SKIRT! I got some jeans and some slacks, and a couple of tops to match - and the creme de la creme, a really cute new jacket that was originally ticketed at $70, but it looks like it made it through several clearance sales (heaven knows why, it is so nice!) because once I got it, the top sale sticker said $20, and there was a sale for a further 30% off at the till so I paid $14!!

Last item on the agenda: I'll be completely incommunicado next week, so no chance of me getting on here for even a short update. I'm going camping with my family from monday to friday, and oh my gosh, I'm actually looking forward to it :eek: Granted I'm going to miss seeing Josh every day (he was invited but doesn't get along with much of my family), and being able to play video games or surf the web whenever the urge grabs me; but I also think it'll be nice to just get a way, get some sun, and get some "natural" exercise. Hopefully once I get back, I'll have dropped another pound or two and darkened up a couple shades - my pasty skin could definitely use some color!

So that's me the past couple of weeks, now I'll go and see how the rest of you have been doing :)

Edit here's that picture I promised so you don't have to go clicking around to find it!

Even more good news!! I just found $3000 that I TOTALLY forgot I even had! I had squirreled it away into a term deposit when I got my taxes and tuition reimbursement earlier this year, for this year's tuition! That is a HUGE financial burden off my shoulders because I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do. :)
 
Ugh yuck. My mom and sister got home after going "camping shopping" to stock up on food and supplies... first of all, they didn't get me any rubber shoes (which was all I asked them to get for me), and what they did bring home was almost exclusively junk food: Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs, Lucky Charms, Doritos, marshmellows... on and on.

After work today I guess I'm going to have to call ahead and ask how much room is left in the cooler and pick up some fruit and jerky and such so that I at least have *something* healthy to eat while I'm away.
 
Aw sorry to hear that Beagle. Camping should be a really healthy vacation. At least you're preparing for it ahead of time :)
 
Just a quick note before I leave: Pre-camping weight is exactly 174.0.

Also, after talking with everyone, good food is being brought - one of my aunts wanted to have chips as a side to all meals, but my mom's bringing salads and such too (maybe partly to be conscious to my diet, but mostly because my brother can't have more than a few chips at a time... long story), as well as some whole grain cereals and fruit. The biggest thing I'm going to have to look out for is the buns for all the hot dogs and hamburgers we're going to be having. I can have "naked" burgers though :)
 
heh. Have fun Beagle! Can't wait til you get back and tell us all about it. :)

Hope you don't turn into a walking human mosquito bite though! ;)
 
Oh wow and I was happy when I found $10 in my pants once

Cannon, you are SO funny!!!!

Beagle, guess I think you've already left but just wanted to say that I hope you are having a fabulous time!!!
 
just saw your picture young lady - and wow you're beautiful... you've got amazing eyes and bone structure. not to m ention great skin... :D
 
Beagle!!!! 174????? OMGoodness! I'm SO PROUD of my BEAG!!!

What the heck happened to me?

You spanked me, pretty much left me in the dust. Unless there is some kind of miracle, you are going to beat me to 170. I am ashamed to say I gained 10lbs over the summer. I took my ticker down just now, in disgust.

Today I am back on track, and you've definitely given me some motivation. I wish I were as strong as you. I need to catch up, quick.

I miss chatting with you. I promise to be around more to check on you, but it sounds like you are doing just great. Way to go!!! I know how hard you've worked. Big Hugs!
 
I am back! Oooooh, and I am BURNT!! I'm waiting until monday to weigh-in, but I don't think it's going to be pretty. I ate like crap pretty much the whole week, I'm very sorry guys :( I'm trying to eat right now that I'm home, and hopefully if I get in lots of water I can flush out any excess that I might be retaining and get a (relatively) friendlier number on the scale on monday. I put up a summary of my camping trip on my livejournal (link in my signature) if anyone wants to read about it.

In the meantime I'm going to wake Josh up and have him spray me with more solarcaine.
 
Beagle sorry to hear about the burn that can make for a long week. On the crap food we all have our moments. You'll recover just fine....
 
Hey Beagle---don't worry too much about the camping trip. A bad week won't wrek all that you've achieved so far. I was looking through your live journal and saw you wrote the paper on WoW as a write of passage. I have friends who play that game religiously and they were telling me about it months ago. Small world.
 
Heh, I can't say I play the game "religiously" but people think I play "too much"... I don't think I play more than 20 hours per week (and that's a very game-y week), yet I know tons of people who watch 30 or more hours of mindless and un-involving TV a week and say that *I* have a problem. I don't think I get in 5 hours a week of TV. But, whatever; people are entitled to their opinions. I also like to use the game as a nice topic for paper-writing. Games like WoW are common enough these days that most people know what they are, but not common enough that any of my professors know enough about it to call my bluff when I have to fudge a couple of facts in my favour ;)

I also would have loved if the university I'm going to had ANY classes doing with video games and/or internet culture at all, but no such luck, so I gotta use the other classes as a base for studying it myself. Still too new for there to be enough experts I guess, the universities that offer classes like that are few and far between.
 
eep! you're ONE of THEM!! ;)

hehe. just kidding. WoW is a cool game but I just don't get MORPG games. They make me dizzy. @_@
