Byebye Big Bum Phase 2!

Either way, that's pretty awesome that you find something really interesting at work - MR.X or his niche area! Those days are few and far between for me !

Keep it up and STOP eating poorly OR YOULL END UP LIKE ME with 5-6 bad days...

I'm a monsteerrr...stop now jjjay ! Save yourself!
 
Thanks Ken - yeah its been a bad two days and that makes me SO want to eat loads today too. Unfortunately its a bad time of month for me - I feel bloated, usually weight loss slows to a halt due to water rentention (or if I'm not on a weight loss kick, I put on a couple of pounds), I get a few spots and FEEL CRAP...so I want to eat. Its like a double whammy...not only do I look worse, I feel worse and the calories add up.

Hmmm, mental note to self. Do not organise important meetings with men for third week of month! I tell you, fast forward 7-19 days and I will feel FANTASTIC again. Pah.

So, 186 this morning, but on the positive side, big delivery from the online catalogue here that I had a VIP slot for the sale....and I was brave and ordered a couple of bikinis...one of which I think I could actually wear in public! Wow. that would be a first.

As for my job, I can hand on heart say I love it. Some days are tiring...but every day has a challenge and its fascinating. I feel really really lucky to have found a niche that just fits me..and that it seems, I'm relatively good at!

185lbs this morning. Still feel rubbish and have eaten probably 200 cals of chocolate yesterday but apart from that, kept the calories down and ate ok. At least I'm 5lbs down on a couple of weeks ago, and I think I'll see a whoosh down another couple of lbs in a week's time.

Going to see if I can get out for a run today to try and feel better about myself.
 
:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: You busted the bikini barrier! Thats ace! Well done!

Stupid hormones. Have you thought about getting the contraceptive injections? I hardly ever have periods, and when I do they are really light.

You weigh the same as me!

I've just signed up to the next catalogue, It would actually be a dream come true if I got picked for it! Getting all hot and bargain feverish just thinking about all those lovely things to buy. And ALL in stock for the first couple of hours? WOW! I queued up from 3 o'clock in the morning at the last Christmas sale, and went completely mad-for-it in there. Was at the tills waiting for an hour and a half though, then filled a shopping trolley full of my carrier bags and walked with it to the cab office.
 
Hey guys!

Hehe yeah I am quite pleased about the bikini!! Takes a fair bit of confidence to even think about going out in one!

Feeling GOOOOOOOOD this morning! Today is the day! Down to 183.2 ironically...the lowest in the last 20 days so I feel lean and confident and like i did well to lose half a stone even given the ToM.

NO SPOTS! Omg. Yes. I have no spots. Can't remember the last time that was the case - not sure if it is the microdermabrasion, the cleansing/facewash or the vitamins I'm taking to combat hormonal effects of ToM - but its working whatever it is! Actually I feel a lot less bloated as well.

The last few days have been so stressful, trying to close this deal on this new client at work...still not there. Sigh. I dont' really want to be in this state of limbo - I wish the decision would just be yes or no! I had a bit of chocolate on one of the days (like 4 cadburies fingers...so nothing majorly bad) and my parents have cooked a few dinners for me which I try and limit how much I eat of the bad stuff...(roast beef dinners etc...) but they still end up more than the normal 300-400 cals dinners I eat at home.

Got some interesting stuff to talk to X about though. Really looking forward to seeing him :D

See you all later!
 
Great skin...smoking bikini...and pounds loss....sounds pretty perfect to me...congrats on all your successes.....well done!!
 
:iagree:

very well done!!!!
4 cadbury fingers id fine i think...i mean i remember how much chocolate i used to eat and think itsGREAT i can eat 1-2 blocks now!!!

Congats on your weight loss!!!Hope stress goes away and your skin will probably glow when calm!!!!
 
:iagree: hahahaha...I think I am going to start calling the hubster...Mr ?
...ummmm yea...never mind....spice and flirting most days is hot sauce on the grilled chicken and a kiss before we pass out in bed...wow I think I need a date with my man!! Your Mr. X does sound nice though :)
 
Ha., you guys think YOU are fascinated by him...I just want to know more and more! I could also sit and type all day about him hahaha

Well...I wouldn't call it a date! More..lets meet for a few hours over coffee...and the excuse has to be "work stuff".

He's so lovely! Ok. It was great to see him. I felt and looked pretty good! He was just as attractive as always but I don't think he knows it. I was waiting for him in a cosy little corner upstairs, in this coffee shop, dimly let and a bit hidden away from everyone!

We talked non-stop for a couple of hours then he said he would catch a later train back to the office as it was a shame to stop our conversation, then we walked to the station and I said I'd stand and talk with him until his train was ready which he was pleasantly surprised at (even though he was like "when's your train" and I was thinking eek don't look at the board and see that its before yours but I'd rather get the next one!!), then we got so involved in talking again that we forgot and he missed it so he was going to be late for a meeting with his boss.... He brought it up a couple of times about expecting me to call every friday afternoon and hearing the phone ring, thinking I'm just about to leave work but I'll pick it up because I bet its her. The underlying hint was that he likes me calling him even if I have no real reason for it and misses it if I don't. Even though we'd spent the last 2 hours together, we then exchanged texts back and forth throughout the afternoon :)

I'm going to see him in a couple of months for a work-related meeting in my office but he'll bring 2 of his team members and I'll do the same with my guys. Even so, that's a good weight loss date to aim for!

Definitely getting to know him more and more each time we meet up on our own. And he definitely likes spending time talking to me. Each time we are both crossing the line a little bit more. I'm going to take it as a green light to give him a call rather than thinking that I have to have a solid reason otherwise I'm bothering him.

All in all, big grin on my face.

Oh and 182.2 this morning!! W00h00!
 
FOod today:
8 meatballs - 400 cals
small pizza - 800 cals
small tortilla wrap with mince - 220 cals
2 cups of tea - 30 cals

Total - 1450

Not bad considering I took my mum to a flower show all day long (we walked like 8km!!) and the food there was awful (pizza was the best option as it was smaller than the fish and chips!). Aiming for 178 by holiday time in August!
 
no diet talk right now,just wanted to know,mrX , why will you meet in 2 months not earlier?also do you talk only about buisness on the date you had?im not getting it sorry.Is he a co-worker?Giving you the chance to talk about him!!!:)
 
LOL. ok. Lets just say that professionally we are adverserial...think like if we were lawyers, if I was a sneaky defence lawyer and he worked for the state prosecution department! So, its more in my interests than his to make sure I know him - as in its good information and relationship for me, but for him, he has to make sure no-one thinks he is losing his objectivity and that he is still being professional.

That's why I can call him but he can't really call me unless he has a very specific work reason. It is very unusual for two people in our positions to even meet for a coffee (he isn't allowed to let anyone buy him lunch/coffee etc... incase its bribery!!). So, every now and then he oversteps the line because he likes me when he shouldn't really do that. And he gives me little signals like wanting me to call him every week even though I have no reason to, or telling me he misses me calling him when I don't and over a couple of years, we've built up to meeting for coffee for a couple of hours. I know he doesn't do this with anyone else. He doesn't chat on the phone with other people for an hour talking about personal stuff - only me.

This is kind of half the fun - I'm not asking him to compromise and be unprofessional but bit by bit he is opening up and being more and more personal at his own pace and each time it surprises me a bit then he retreats back into being very professional then comes forward again...

I couldn't go on a proper date with him. We couldn't go out to dinner - it would not be appropriate for either of our careers. So this is as fun as its going to get for now. I will set up a meeting re a client in a couple of months time, we'll speak once a week until then and when enough time has gone by for it to see like we can "catch up over coffee" casually without anyone thinking its weird that he is meeting me for coffee all the time, I'll suggest we meet up again.

Hey jjjay! I haven't been here for awhile. But I was going through my email and saw an update from your blog. And I realized that I've completely fallen off the wagon and gained 20 pounds out of the 60 I lost since joining this site. You've motivated me to get back on track again, or should I say, start phase 2! I hope, through support, that we can finish this weight loss journey for good and start the next journey, maintenance!
 
Omg, I can feel that sexual tension radiating from the computer screen :) Your meetings are so illicit, it must really add to the thrill. You two must be dying to rip off each others clothes, and you have a strong emotional connection as well....

You obviously love each others company... just imagining if you went on a proper date, you would have to wear disguises and go somewhere off the beaten track.

I'm starting to feel that smiley infatuated feeling and it isn't even me lol!

Its like watching satc reading your posts, love it!

And 182, WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
 
*turns on some romantic music for jjjay + mr. x*

Mmm.. Push it. Push it real good. Mmm push it!

And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing..sexual...healing babayyy!! :biggrinjester:
