Tuesday Afternoon Update
Well, I've been in a great mood all day! I'm really pleased with my appearance, lately--that is just a wonerful feeling! For years, I had been only OK with it and was like, "Well, my mind is in the right place--that's what really matters." Earth to Valerie: body/mind/soul/emo--all connected. 100% satisfaction apparently is when they're all in tune and I'm pleased with all. Don't want to seem shallow but feeling great and looking good makes me happy, and in turn, I spread joy and rainbows and sunshine and other such girly shit to others. I've been called things like "sweetheat" and "honey" lately. (not here, in real life! LOL) The BF has been amazingly sweet, complimentary, and helpful--I suppose in reflection of my sweetness to him, my compliments, and my support (always supportive of him--expecially now since he went through some shit eariler and is just now writing his own programs at home for practice--Python). Postivity spread out makes it come back in. 2007 has rocked!!
Now I don't really consider myself to have "trouble spots" anymore. Trust me, I wish my upper arms and lower back were a bit skinnier, BUT in all honesty they don't look so chubby to me anymore, or enough for me to be like, "Damn these trouble spots!" This is a good thing. This puts my mind at ease. Imagine: a woman who is satisfied with how her body looks! Don't mean to generalize but almost every woman I have talked to has something to complain about. I got in trouble for generalizing earlier but Deb doesn't read my diary anymore so I think I'm safe Anyway, I'm in a good place. The body has put my mind at ease. I didn't like the restless feeling I had when I was displeased with 20+ lbs of fat that is not essential and I didn't find aesthetically pleasing, either. It was like a rock in my shoe--not enough to be dangerous (just under a BMI of 25--save for the short time I was 170-160 lbs) but enough to plague me, at times.
Of course, I still am dying to get to 130 lbs. Last night I had a lot of soy sauce--perhaps that had something to do with the 3 lbs gain?...
Lets see, today:
Food
B-fast: Berry wafflewich and soy yogurt
Snacky-snack: 1 oz cheese and 5 crackerasscrackers
Lunch: Fake Chicken nugget sandwich with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and avocado. Almost put mayo on the other side and changed my mind!
Snack: 4 crackas
Right Now: Drinking a glass of Pinot Noir my boss gave me. Ahhhh, spoiled me gets to drink at work!
GRAND TOTAL: 1385
Rats--that means a light-ass dinner and no alcohol--that's cool, I need a break. Ahem, aside from this wine right now, heh heh.

Well obviously, you do look wonderful, but also I think feeling good about yourself is just going to radiate positive vibes. I think that may be what you're experiencing.

GORGEOUS pictures! You and your man look hot together. He was looking fine in that snappy suit, with the pushed back hair. And the curls and dress were sexy on you! I'm glad to hear you're feeling so great. It's so important to feel tht way. I know I still have quite a way to go before I actually don't have excess fat lying around, but I still feel so much more amazing than I did before. It's fantastic!

Wow I feel so loved!
Let me update before I respond, and skulk.....
Yesterday I enjoyed my Kickboe very much, and on the way home I called Cindy (the Bf's mom) to see how she was doing (she had a scare earlier with pressure on her chest and tingling arm, went to the hospital twice). Cindy was glad to hear from me, she said Nat hadn't been answering her emails GREAT NEWS, though: her heart really is just fine--she has a congenital hernia on her diaphram that was causeing the weird sensations--exacerbated by her 15 lbs weight gain since she quit work at OSH. Nonetheless I asked her to quit smoking and she's going to try. I asked her if she was going to start exercising and she laughed and joked that it's only been a week. Anyway, I told my Hunney Bunny to go visit his mom and read his yahoo email (he has gmail too--and more I think).
Last night I rubbed some salmon and blackened it in a cast iron skillet, chopped up collards, cilantro, and green onion and steamed it with garlic. I didn't have any white wine to cook with (I had Tolosa Chardonnay that is WAY too good to cook with, and I had French Muscat that is also not for cooking, but no crappy whites), so I used balsamic vinegrette and prayed it wouldn't come out nasty. It was good! Oh I LOVE collard greens--and they're amazingly good for me, too. I fed the BF and he was VERY, VERY happy and grateful. He pleasured me in many ways last night to show his gratitude. Wow he is an amazing lover! Always mixing it up and trying new ways to touch me. Whew! After a year and a half, even!!!
This morning I woke up at 6:15 to go running in the woods. I have a facial after work, and it's my buddy's b-day--the one who introduced me to my BF. So we're going to take him to Aqua Bleu, this upscale sushi/surf & turf restaurant to which my company provides most of the wines on the wine list (and the prez is friends with the owners). Anyway, I needed to get my exercise in early.
But I was distracted.
I forgot.....
There are cougars in the mountains. I was really paranoid, looking over my shoulder and I didn't even run very fast. I picked it up later when I saw nothing. But I was on edge--ready to throw down and brawl if any punk-ass mountain lions decided to fuck with me. No way Jose! I'd be spittin and yowlin and throwin my hands UP! See, runnning is just dangerous. I forget sometimes that I still have predators.
Anyway, I weighed in at 138.0 today, so I'm well on the way down to my End-of-the-Month Goal of 136.0
Thanks for reading, will respond and visit in a little while.....

That salmon sounds delicious. I'll have to try that recipe soon.
If you keep running in the mountains, you'll have to start wearing a bell around your neck, or something to warn off those cougars. I have no doubt you'd be able to fight one off. But I wouldn't like to see that happen. . . the running alone is enough exercise.

Curves,
Stick to the tracks girlfriend, I don't want any cougars taking you down. LOL You ate so healthy last night, WOW that all sounds so good!! You are just turning into a little B-Day party animal lately. Your living right, and eating right so I'm sure you will be down to 136 in no time at all! Good job!!

Thanks C Man! That's exactly it I think. Shining and all! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks so much, Anna! Mayo ain't worth it for me. And oh yeah I sure did get down and dirty with my sweetheart! Yee!
GORGEOUS pictures! You and your man look hot together. He was looking fine in that snappy suit, with the pushed back hair.
Thanks, Deanne! Extra bunny chub can be annoying, but as Steve's journal says, I truly am enjoying this journey...beause it's working! YAY! Glad you feel great about yourself!
Thanks, Kelly! I want to curl my hair more often, maybe even do an up-do.
Tom, Steve, Kim, Bruce, Beth--
Thanks for the "hi" and for the sweet compliments! Don't worry about me!
Thanks, Kim--maybe I SHOULD avoid the woods and just run on the beach in the early AM

Now the beach would be a perfect place to go! Will it be easy to run there? Do they have paths? Just stay out of the woods, ooooh creapy, makes me think of a scary movie or something. OOOHHH.
