Cat's Meow's Diary

Blarg

I feel like an unmotivated schlub. Maybe I'm just PMSing. I am still losing little by little and I've started back to exercise after my vacation… but I just feel like sitting on my butt and watching TV and snacking. I'm even finding it hard to want to write in my diary here. I know weight can hit a plateau but can your mood? I'll come out of this, I know I will.:(
 
Hi catsmeow!

I love your diary I'm definetly subscribing! Your doing so well! I know coming form a nice vaca and gaining a little weight can ruin your mood..but brush sweats off and get to those jazzercise classes!!! Youc an't stop now your soo close! Everything is in reach. I'm soo far from my goal but I have to put it in my head that i'll be there soon! I can't let another yr go by and me look the way I do or feel the way I do...

Your an inspiration...I dont want to see u down.:)
 
Out With The Old, In With The New

So I went through my closet and all of my drawers, tried everything on and anything that didn't look great on me, no matter how new, I took to the goodwill. Anything thing that was stained, ripped, pulled out of shape, I threw out. I reorganized everything and did a bit of shopping. I did keep a few pairs of work pants to have altered. It was a good feeling to be rid of part of the old me. There's no 'fat clothes' to crawl back to. My feet have also gone down a half size. The scale is back to and stuck again at 166. I've been slacking with exercise and not really logging what I've been eating. I really have to recommit myself to this process. PMS has really been getting me down this month. I need to break out of this funk and eat some carrots. I'm off to Jazzercise!! Everyone have a great day! :D
 
Hi Emily -- great job on getting back into the exercise! I am going to try to drum up enough energy to do the same. And AWESOME that you got rid of your fat clothes!! I managed to pull some of them out of my closet, but I still haven't gotten rid of them. They are like big, stretched out, faded security blankets, you know?

How was the cruise??
 
Cheesecake Is Evil

I totally resisted the delicious creamy cheesecake in the office kitchen. Not even a taste. I resisted it so hard I walked right out of the kitchen without filling up my cup of water. So I had to go back into the kitchen and re-resist a slice. Hah!:D

This weekend was fantastic. Perfect weather. Went to the Philly Zoo on Saturday. Upset that the hot air balloon was closed due to weather. (Weather? WTF?!). Chorizo and mozzarella stuffed burgers and corn on the grill on Sunday night and the MD RenFaire on Monday. I behaved (for the most part) the whole weekend. Got a lot of walking in as well.
The scales this morning said 15something!! :jump: I need a new scale. The one I have isn't that old but it's digital and my sister has been leaving her wet washcloths from the shower on top of it. But finally into the 150's! I also met one of my goals to get into a size 12 Express jeans! Low rise boot cut. I now have a butt. Well, I had a butt before it was just wide and flat. I was strutting in those things all weekend long. :p
Grocery shopping tonight. I need to check out the recipe section for some good meals that will last the week in the fridge. Anyone have any suggestions??

Cruise pics to come soon I promise.
 
Someone sent the office one of those fancy fruit baskets. I'm totally going to eat the whole thing. I love me some flower shaped fruits. :jump:
 
I totally pwned those strawberries yesterday. There are a few leftover but they're a bit mushy and I hate mushy strawberries. Mushies are better for smoothies. I didn't lose any weight for this weigh in. The scale said 161 lbs this morning but I swear it was in the 150's the other day. Oh well. Soon! I'm still rocking my fant-ass-tic jeans. I slipped into my corset the other day and was able to tighten and shorten the ties in the back. Corsets are awesome for making a girl feel totally hot and sexy, but it's the pudge that gets squeezed out the top and bottom that bugs me right now. I'll conquer those bulges as well!

I've been invited to a Renaissance masquerade ball in October. I'm planning on sewing my own costume. I hope to lose about 20 more lbs before then. My mother is surprised that I want to lose 30 more lbs total. 130 is a goal of mine but I'll continue to reevaluate how I feel about myself with each pound lost. I don't want to lose my curves but I think a hint of hip bone is sexy.;)

Hope everyone is having a great day!:jump:
 
you behaved at a renn faire? that seems so wrong -I thought you were supposed to be a good misbehaving little wench :)


rockin' your jeans is a beautiful thing - rock on with your bad self :)
 
Behave? Eh… I got totally goofy about the men in their tights and codpieces, they even had chainmail men's panty thingies on display for sale, but as far as RenFood goes I can't hang. Steak on a Stake and fried everything are no friends of my intestines. The few bits of turkey leg and curly fries gave me a belly ache. I stuck with water for the rest of the day, but you really can't go to a Renaissance Faire and not have a sloppy greasy bite of a turkey leg!
 
Hi Emily :hug2:

Sorry I havn't been here in awhile. I had a hectic few weeks and I'm finally starting to get caught back up on life and here:rotflmao:!

You are doing soo awesome to reach your goals. I bet at that Renn Ball you're going to look sexy as hell!!! Whether or not you lose another 20... just keep litterally working that ass off!!!
 
Need some Love and Support

I had a completely tragic weekend. My cousin, who celebrated his 20th birthday in June, was killed in a car accident Saturday night. Luckily he was the only one in the car and no one else was hurt. He was beginning his first semester at a new college in Florida and apparently got lost or fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a cement barrier. My father, who is basically my family's strongest support, went to get Jerry and from his description of the remains of the car Jerry was killed instantly. To add to this tragedy my aunt also lost her only other child 8 years ago. Lindsay was 1 month short of her 20th birthday when she passed. So everyone please send prayers my aunt's way and hope that she can make it through this.
 
So I'm up a few pounds this morning. I haven't exercised at all this week. We've just been spending time at my aunt's house sitting with her looking through pictures for memory boards and albums. There's so much food there. There's nothing to do but eat, so I've been eating. Yesterday I ate the equivalent of an 8 inch Italian sub, and two slices of pizza. That was after the English muffin for breakfast and the lean cuisine chicken meal for lunch. I feel like crap but I felt like I was starving yesterday so I stuffed myself. I hope to get back to my regular routine soon. :(
 
just do the best you can for the time being and be there for your family to help them thru this tragedy... how very sad...
 
Just remember this is temporary, Mal is right just be there for your family right now. You will get back into your routine in a few days. You all are still in my prayers.
 
Thanks so much for the support. I've had to keep telling myself 'You're sad, not hungry'... I have gained about 2-3 lbs. :( Back on track though, starting today. First day back to Jazzercise in about 3 weeks. I miss it but right now I feel like taking a nap after work instead. We'll see how the rest of this week goes.
 
Hey Emily :)

Don't fret over the 2-3 pounds they'll come back off!

Sometimes sleeping is all I want to do too... you gotta try and push yourself through it. I totally know the feeling... I generally feel great after I push myself to work out when I don't want to.

You'll get rid of those pounds before you know it... keep your chin up! :hug2:

I was so tired yesterday but I still went to Jazzercise, but when I got there no one else was in the parking lot. So I waited for 10 minutes thinking maybe I was hella early...but not really... then left. I checked the online calender and class was cancelled yesterday. I am so not in the mood to go to class today. I just ate a stress mint now I need a nap. I did take a half hour walk outside as it was beautiful and grabbed some sushi for lunch. I had a chocolate chip cookie for a snack. I so needed a chocolate fix this afternoon.

I'm slowly feeling a little more focused as this week goes on. I know everyone has their moments and their set backs, I just have to take my time and work through them...
