BikiniBound's Diary

Congrats on losing those last lbs and the 1/2 !

As for your pending problems , I'm sorry to hear of your situation. I've been there and done that . Just keep focused on "you" . When I got divorced I was probably down to about 250 lb and doing really good at losing weight. Then my wife drops the bomb on me and leaves me for some other guy (btw she had lost ALOT of weight just before this happened) Anyways my point is that I totally blew what I had accomplished. I've been up and down ever since and it's taken me about 8 years to become re-motivated to start seriously losing again. Just keep up what you are doing throughout any difficulties you might have. Food won't comfort anything (wow ! did I just type those words? I need someone to remind myself of that at a later time *L*)

Good luck and keep your chin up!
 
Thanks Jenna!

Well, I've been awesome on the food today so far. Did 30 min at the gym and I worked those machines. Woo, was I tired at the end. Then I went to the supermarket to get more low-carb shakes, but they were out. Talk about annoying. So I bought a 4-pack of high protein shakes instead--and they are full of carbs and not as hign in protein as the low-carb ones. grr...

I hate going to that supermarket b/c it's in the small town I grew up in (and currently live in), and I'm always afraid I'll run into a former classmate I haven't seen in years and they will be thinking, "MAn, did she let herself go!" Even though I've lost 37lbs, I still weigh way more than I did in high school. Not to mention that I went there right after my workout, so I was hot and sweaty, and my hair looked awful. I don't think I saw anyone, but who knows--it's been 17yrs since I graduated so I might not recognize someone if I saw them. Maybe they don't recognize me, either..lol Gotta get into shape so I look awesome at my 20th reunion in 3 years. That should be more than enough time--as long as I can keep the weight off once I lose it..lol It is my dearest wish that all the people I hated in high school are fat and bald...lol:rotflmao: I'm such a biotch.

Hahaaaa! Now that has to be one of the most truthful posts ever! It was awesome! hahahaaaa! I loved it. As for you running into other people, screw em if they judge you. It's really none of their damn business. Besides, you're doing so well with your workouts and your food plan so far. :D
Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get to your goal, girl.:hug2:

Paul--thanks for the words of encouragement. I know you know how I feel re the marriage issues. Actually, you might sympathize more with my husband b/c I am sort of the one initiating the potential divorce. I've been pretty unhappy wiht the marriage (most of the 5+ yrs we've been married), but it's just in the last 4months or so that I've really decided that things cannot go on as they have been. Losing the weight is helping to give the confidence that I need to stick to my guns re this. Even though my husband has known that I haven't been happy with things in general, he was quite surprised when I "dropped the bomb" on him that I was going to divorce him unless certain things were changed. Now I'm not sure that I even want to stay married if they are, and I'm not sure if he's even capable of making the changes that I need. Ahhh...what a mess, eh?

Well, I'm pretty much beyond the comfort food issue. I'm so determined about my weight loss that I'm not struggling with it for the first time in my life...amazing. But I will be there to remind you if you need it...lol I think part of the reason that I am so focused is b/c I know that I may very well be back on the proverbial market soon, and my biological clock is ticking very loudly at the moment--want to have 2 kids before the age of 40-I am 35. So I feel like time is of the essence.

Jenna--you crack me up once again. I'm not normally so vindictive, but I suffered in high school from the skinny, pretty popular people calling me fat and teasing me. Yes, I weighed 175 in high school, so I wasn't even fat, only 15-20 above my ideal weight, and I'm 5'9". It kills one's self-esteem, and took me years to get over it--maybe not completely over it now..lol Anyway, I would love nothing more than to see the "popular" kids turn out to be fat, bald (the girls too) and ugly while I was thin and pretty..lol
 
Ok, so the photo I put up for my avatar is 9yrs old when I weighed about 180-185lbs. It's kind of my thinspiration photo--want to get back to looking like that...sigh...:)
 
I totally know about those wretched high school students whose lives are so "perfect" that they must point out every flaw in everybody else LOL... I yelled at quite a few in high school and came very close to beating the shit outta few (I have slight anger issues when people push me over the edge).

At the rate your going with all the hard work you're putting in they will never be able to compare to you when its time for the reunion!

Hey girl... great job with the workout! Also, are you counting calories, because you might be actually eating a bit lower than you can... and heaven knows how much we all love food. haha You're going to get to your goal, just be patient. Baby steps... hehee So ummm what's this "personal thing?" PM if you need to vent.. haha

-Sheryl

PS... Please.. please... please let me get what I want... Lord knows this will be the first time.... :jump: I've been a Smith's Fan ever since I was a little (~ 8 years old) girl with a goth cousin who used to blast The Smiths every time we hung out. hahaaa! I love them.. wooooot!
 
Howdy Bikin,
OMG we must be sharing the same heat wave ,today 96
with heat and smog alerts out!I have been walking after sunset it still feels so humid but it is better than with it being daylight.Your menue looks good
and workout you will be at your goal in not time,Tammy
 
It is a glorious day!! haha I stepped on the scales and found that I'd lost 2 more pounds--down to 238.5--I am officially in the 230s. WOOOOHOOO!!! I got what I wanted--this time..:) Looks like my new eating plan is working, along with my new exercise plan--which is to work it with increased intensity--not so much increased time.

Sheryl, the meal plan I'm following is 6small meals totaling 1600 calories, but I have skipped the last meals the last two days--so I'm probably eating about 1300. I'm just not hungry enough to eat them--I would literally have to force myself to do it--and at 10-11pm, I don't want to eat that late.

Tammy, I think we are in the same heat wave. Man, it's been a hot dry summer here. Normally in this part of Michigan it's in the 70s and 80s most of the summer, with the occasional 90+degree day. But this summer we have had more days in the 90s than the 70s. I tend to take my walks in the evenings, too when it's this hot out. Much more pleasant after 8pm. It's kind of my favorite time of day, too--right before sunset.

Ok, I've gotta go change my ticker again..yay!!
 
WTG ... two more pounds down! Yay!!!! for the 230's:jump:

I don't like eating that late either I wake up feeling all full and crappy.

You get rep power when some clicks on give some rep for this post. You can see who gave it to you by going to your user cp and looking at the front page. You can also give it to others by clicking on give rep for posts!

Keep on going your shrinking like crazy:)
 
Thanks for the kind words and rep power Tammy and Jenna. I will spread some your way as well. Of course you both deserve it.

Yes, I hope to be the incredible shrinking woman..lmbo. The thing that I was freaking about last night (still sort of am), is my greatest motivator to lose weight at the moment--and it's probably a pretty bad motivator, but it certainly seems to be working...agghhh! :rolleyes:

Oh honey, I'm so happy for you! I see you're putting a lot of hard work into this and I'm glad you're seeing results. I know what they say about losing inches before weight and how you should monitor weigh loss other ways, but NOTHING feels as good as the numbers going down! :hug2:
