Okay so I am way out of my normal time frame here.
But here goes anyway. Not like I'll have any time tomorrow err I mean later today anyhow! LOL
I got on the elliptical after BLC was over and stayed on for an HOUR!!!
Must be something wrong with me 'cuz I was actually liking it.......weird I know!
I did the 45 minute weight-loss program with an average of 15 cals burned per minute. Musta been some extra burning going on 'cuz with my 15 minute cool-down I burned off 818 cals!!!!! Which unfortunately only left me with like 882 real cals for the day. YIKES!
And of course it was waaaay to late at night to eat anything to make up for that. So either I need to eat more cals during the day or not work out so long. Don't worry I won't do that again. A girl needs more cals than that to survive! LOL At least this girl does!
Did get all my water in for the day. Most likely will be up a few times tonight because of drinking it so late in the day.
I am positive that there will be a new low tomorrow!
If there is you know that I will be here telling you all about it regardless of how busy I am!!!
Well I really need to go to bed. I was just to hyped up from working out so hard and at this point if I don't get some sleep tomorrow won't go so well for me. Especially with being so busy!
Catch ya later gators!
Oh check out my new quote in my signature line, I think it's a good one. And very true. Too many of us live in the past dwelling on our mistakes. When everyday that we wake up is a fresh new piece of paper waiting for us to write our story.
Ciao

Thanks for stopping by.
Here lately I am not sure what has gotten a hold of me. Besides the desire to not be kicked out of Kimberly's Biggest Loser Challenge! LOL
I don't know. I am thinking maybe I am being a bit more like Omega/Margaret in that I am getting greedy for the weight loss and will do what is nescessary to get the job done.
And at night it just seems like there are NO DISTRACTIONS for me. The room is dark and usually everyone (son and hubby) are busy watching TV. Which works out for me since I just keep an eye on that while bustin' butt. Of course all the while I am listening to my MP3 player that Sweetiepea got me for my B-Day.
So who knows. But your right, determination and motivation are just oozing out of me right now!
Thanks for the kind words on my avi's. I never use to take pics so well. Either with me in them or not! LOL Had to learn how to take a good pic. And of course as I am losing this weight I am feeling more confident in myself so I think that it is showing thru the pics!
Thanks again for popping in on me!

You totally deserve it! Doesn't it just feel great being such a loser?
You totally motivate me to want to try harder every day!

Thank You Maverick, Hajni, Wanna, Sweetiepea, Angel and Stacey for all the congrats!
I was so afraid that I would wake up today and it was going to all be in my head! LOL
But nope still at 194 just with a .2 behind it. Not a big deal though.
---------------------------------------------------
So here is the drama that happened at my house yesterday.
When I weighed in yesterday my scale was working fine. Same thing for dh. But then mysteriously in the afternoon........it was broken.
We tried everything to fix it. As it was a digital and very expensive to replace.
Dh took it apart to see what the problem was and informed me that the motherboard was all wet.
Okay so it's in the bathroom and I guess it could get water damaged from humidity and such. But not so much humidity that it looked like a small puddle inside it.
Upon closer inspection dh turns to look at our youngest son and asks him if he had trouble aiming at the toilet this morning. Of course T-man is like "no". So I get down face to face with him and ask him the same thing. He busts out in tears and proceeds to tell me that while he was pottying he forgot to watch what he was doing and turned around. Effectively peeing on the scale and shorting it out.
Soooo T-man is like are you mad at me (I was), but I didn't tell him that. I just told him that mommy was disappointed that he forgot to watch what he was doing. I was more mad that I now needed to replace my $40 scale at a time that I don't really have the money to do so.
But replace it I did.
I have come to an awful conclusion.
I am addicted to my scale.
I don't think that it is an all out addiction. And perhaps had I not gotten back my stride with the exercising and losing weight again I more than likely wouldn't have felt such a sense of panic.
My reaction to the whole situation absolutely perplexed dh. He couldn't understand why I was so upset. And I didn't expect him to understand. Even though he is trying to lose weight he still isn't down to a "new low". So has a bit to go to be where I am emotionally.
I don't use the scale as a measuring tool so much as I do a motivational tool. And I feared without it that I would slowly fail. Without it there to show the results of that 45 minute workout on the elliptical or of not drinking my water the day prior or eating something with salt I just didn't feel I could make this journey happen.
I know that there are many people here who will understand what I am saying. Even if it is a bit irrational.
Only after going out to the store last night at 10pm and getting a new scale did I feel the panic subside.
I know it may seem a bit dramatic but I am so afraid still at this point that without my scale I will fail.
I still have the phantom feeling of being that fat girl on the beach. The one in the photo that prompted me to get off my arse. And I don't want to be that girl anymore.
So that is the silliness that happened here at my house yesterday.
Weird I know.

HI Bella,
I have the same addiction to my scale and I would have done exactly the same as you did, immediately replacing it. I use it as a motivational tool also, realizing the fluctuations that could happen as well, but for me jumping on my scale in the morning is like brushing my teeth. If I would miss it I would feel yucky all day..!!
And I read it somewhere that those who weigh themselves every day generally have more success maintaining their weight in the long run as well. Or at least that is my story and I am sticking to it!!
So no you are not silly!!! Or we are both silly!!
Have a great day!!
Hajni

Well I just logged in my stats for the 1st week of the BLC. Hopefully it will be good enough. I didn't lose anywhere the amounts that some people did. Just 1.4 pounds. But I am not disappointed in that number. 'Cuz I fought hard for it. However I did exercise for 515 minutes this past week.
So I am off to work today. Hope everything runs smoothly.
This week seems like it was a long week which makes it nice as far as going back to work is concerned.
I got on the elliptical last night and tried out a new program on it called Competition. For obvious reasons I have never tried it before. And honestly had I tried it any earlier in this journey than yesterday there is no way that I would have ever finished it out.
It was hard. I mean grunting, sweat in the eyes, feel like I might puke hard!
But finish it I did. Burning off like 810 cals before my cool-down. With the cool-down I made it to 900 cals.
I am really proud of myself for not quitting.
Well I am sleepy and need to take a nap before I head off to work so will check back tomorrow to see if I am still in the challenge.
Catch ya all later!
Have a great weekend!

Good job on the competition program! 900 cals are a lot!
I think many of us are addicted to the scale...I usually have to use all my will power to avoid weighing everytime I pass near the bathroom!
Your son sounds so cute...even though I'm sure you didn't think so when he told you he peed on the scale, hehe.
Take care

1.4 lb loss is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! That pretty much is my goal for the rest of the V-challenge per week!!!
Any loss above 1 lb/week is a total victory... I remember the times when I had a hard time losing 0.5 lb in TWO weeks!!!
You are doing awesome Bella!!! Next time you look up and you are out of the 190's forever!!!
Have a great day!!
