Oh thank you Stacy, Sweetheart, right back at you! :hug2:


Saturday

Last night the BF drove all the way from San Jose at 1 in the morning after playing cards all night to sleep with me :D On the phone, he called me "Lovely." He's fond of pet names, and he has used "Lovely" quite frequently. It's a name that I feel honored to be called, but at the same time, I'm a little shocked because I don't really feel I deserve to be called lovely--that's pretty intense. Still, it's nice :)

I woke up at 9 am to clean the bathroom because it was my turn last weekend and I only cleaned the kitchen. BAD VALERIE!!! I need to go soon downtown to Kickboe class, and I have a follow up eye appointment at Costco afterwards.

My stomach is sad. I ate something wack yesterday or I have a slight bug or something. YUCK! I was sick-feeling all last night.

I don't have time, but last night I had dinner with my girl friend and her baby and hubby! It was a good time and I have pictures, but I'll be back--Kickboe is at 10:30 and it's 10 right now and I need to drive to Santa Cruz downtown...be back soon...

Oh, and make sure you follow up w/ that apointment!!!
 
Hey you - im glad you are sounding well:)SOrry abt the tummy Ive been getting that lately but i have been drinking way to much coffee and have been stressed ina ll aspects of my life in general - LOL...Catch up with you soon!!!
 
Kimberly: Wednesdays, eh? I suppose I should get on some of this women-love. I can fake it! :D Thanks for the compliments, and yes I was busy in the bathroom yesterday, oh man! :rotflmao:

Davey: Thanks, sweetie! Yes I feel better now....

Korrie: One of the sweetest? Well thank you! :eek: I'm still feeding the stray cats, that's for sure...hmm lemme take a picture...

Cerella: Hey you! Glad you stopped by, but I understand, working 60 hours a week or whatever, with the girls and dealing with the ex and everything. Hope that is still going good! :D I'll go check out your diary...

Sunday:

Saturday was awesome. Sure, I had a stomach ache and yeah, I only went out to kickbox and go to the eye appointment (you guys, I am BLIND-my prescription is -4.25 in my left eye and -3.75 in my right :eek:), but staying home all day in my beautiful, zen-like house while the BF slept until 6pm was nice. I watched TV Links all day

and curled my hair for the hell of it, and took pictures of my house to show you all, but I'll do that later.

I ate according to my plans: 1685 calories!! Whoo hoo, finally! It was pretty much because of the tummy ache, which is almost completely gone now. Almost.

If I can bear to eat 1700 calories a day until Halloween....well I can't say anything because I decided not to weigh myself until Monday, but this is "Day 26" of my cycle so you-know-what is going to happen and skew my numbers for several days. Eh, I'm not so worried about it because yesterday I was inspecting my body and decided I was happy with it. Nonetheless, I have a goal, dammit, and it keeps me busy and pleased with myself, that I have this goal. Besides, losing 21 lbs since December 06, and gaining 13 from May 07 makes me pretty disappointed and wonder, "Will I ever learn moderation?" LOL!! :rotflmao: Probably not during the summer! ;) Winter, no problem! :D

Anyway, it is sunny and beautiful today, I'm going to go running. The BF and I cuddled all yesterday after he woke up, and we watched movies. He's been an angel ever since Thursday, our 2-year mark, and I'm enjoying it! :D

I still have to meal-plan today, and I want to organize and clean my room better. Some weekends (especially the ones during which I don't drink) I enjoy staying home and being domestic. I have bouts of Party-Girl times and bouts of Housefrau times, I'm weird. :rolleyes:

Will check on you all later!
 
Yer so funny! :rotflmao:

Hey, yer kickin' butt! *Great Job Sexy Buns!* :D

Glad yer inspection went well. :cool: *TeeHee*

Enjoy your run!

~*Happy Sunday!*~

After my Run

Well, it was beautiful and wonderful to run in the Redwood Forest of Nisene Marks today. I ran for 1 hour and 12 minutes, although there were times when I was going slowly, and there were brief moments where I had to stop and mess with my iPod, for the most part I was running the whole time. My legs and hips are sore right now, and I had to eat two portions of my Erotic Rice I made.

Erotic rice = wild rice mix with tomatoes, veggies, some kind of hot peppers, and a protein of sorts.

Mine yesterday had bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, tomatoes, and fake chickin. I don't use oil, so it's really low-cal, and I consider wild/brown rice to be healthier than bread. I think. Either way I know wild rice is good for me, especially the upset tummy, as all the fiber from the rice and veggies cleaned me out, so to speak.

Anyway, after my long run I went to shower and I was like, "I'm not gonna weigh myself, I'm not gonna weigh myself..." and I looked at the scale and jumped on it anyway..........

147.0

"Holy shit," I said demurely.

Somehow I had managed to lose 2 pounds since October 5th, and I have only to think that quitting drinking and all the running has something to do with it, as well as the low-calorie day yesterday. My calories do NOT reflect a 7000 calorie deficit. Where is the error? I don't get it. I can only think that the weight training, intense and frequent running, quitting drinking, and the low cal day yesterday (for ME mind you) had to do with it.

Either way, being 2 pounds from my Halloween goal is exciting and great. It is SUCH a relief to be out of the 150s for me, especially since my goal in April was to STAY in the 130s and that lasted all of 2 months :( I feel better today, about being able to keep the calories down. I suspect that I could be as low as 143 if I can stay under 1800 calories for the next 17 days. Especially if I keep running Nisene Marks and weight training 3xs a week.

Tomorrow my goals are:

Run at least 25 minutes in the AM
Take Genie to the Beach at noon
Weight train for a full hour after work
Take yoga class after weight training.

Whew talk about a full day!!!

Oh and nutritionally, I have a confession. Ugh you guys are gonna slap me. :eek: I..I started to drink diet pepsi at work, because I thought I needed caffeine to perk me up and I don't drink coffee, and it was too hot for tea. :eek: Well, I QUIT. It was ruining my sleep. Caffeine ruins my sleep, UNLESS it's from tea, then for whatever reason it doesn't mess with me. What was happening was:

I'd drink too much. My sleep would be all fucked up. The next day, I'd have a diet pepsi to keep me going. Then I'd stay up late. Then the next day I'd be tired and feel like crap, and drink more soda, and eat more, because when I'm tired my body needs energy, and I reach for food....and on and on. A vicious cycle.

SO with me not drinking alcohol or soda, I have felt MUCH better (aside from the fucked up tummy) and am sleeping much better, too. With adequate sleep and no empty calories (except I WILL indulge in a sweet every now and then, I KNOW) AND a strict diet of no more than 1800 calories, I should lose like crazy, given my activity level. Point is, can I stick with it? I feel I can, at least until November. Then I'll slowly introduce some wine at dinner and try to moderate myself. OK! Wish me luck!
 
~Great goals for tomorrow!~ ;)

I hear ya re: soda! I'm a freakin' insomniac and that's partly why I know!

The other part is due to my disorders. Panic Attacks/OCD/ADHD..

My mind will just not shut-up! lol

I'm easily stressed as well..{bc of the disorders}

Really screws with your sleep!

Congrat's on the "bye-bye 150's!" :jump: *WOOT!*

:hug2:
 
CONGRATS ON 147!! Sounds like you had a really good weekend--and you should be proud of yourself. Nice job setting goals for yourself.:)

Oh, and get ready for TLD b/c Wednesday's just around the corner..:rotflmao:
 
Stacy: Thank you for the congrats!
Have you ever tried meditation? The very word turns a lot of people off, but it IS very good for a woman! I swear by it, although lately I haven't been doing much, just during yoga--which is another thing that is a great de-stresser.
I wish I was a little more OCD...the bright side is that I shake things off and am quite laid back; the down side is I also let things go with a "Oh the fuck well" attitude and it gets me to easily gain weight, among other things :rolleyes: According to astrology, I have more "fixed" signs than any other, and fixed = organizer....so when things aren't organized I get antsy and miserable, especially when it's my own shit!

Kimberly: Thank you! I am actually feeling some self pride going on here, especially since I am doing so well today, too! Wednesday, here I come!

Is TLD Tender Loving ......?????

Randy: Thank you! I'm here :)

Update for the day: Well today was fab, I spent a lot on my ass relaxing after the run, and most days I'm running around and stuffing my face in the interum. Today I did my heavy exercise (c'mon, running in the woods for over an hour is heavy exercise!) and sat on my ass! At about 4 the BF got up--he still feels sick and might call in tomorrow. We went to New Leaf (health food market) in Capitola and had lunch for me, b-fast for him at the Cafe. I ordered a Macro wrap, which is more brown rice, veggies, avocado, tahini dressing in a spinich wrap, and had an Acai juice. The BF had a turkey sandwich on sprouted wheat bread and an Acai juice too. He went home after that, thanking me for "accommodating to him all weekend," read= he was sorry he was sleeping all weekend and thought I was bored. Nope! I had a great time at home in my nice house with him in my bed, and cuddling, and making food and relaxing. I was feeling really easy going and good and nice this weekend, not at all annoyed with him!

I made a list of food from reading all the articles I yank out of Fitness, Shape and Self. (yes there are those who hate those magazines, but they have healthy advice, so nah! :p) I shopped healthfully and wisely, not buying things too perishable because I tend to buy veggies and don't make a dish in mind until days later...and sometimes the veggies are too wilted for me :doh:

I have snacks planned, I bought dried cranberries, dark chocolate, honey roasted nut mix (bulk), Annie's Cheddar Bunny Treats in 170 calorie packages, and Jasmine green tea.

I have meals planned, and I also bought a larger Acai Juice to save money (been buying expensive little bottles at a time). I splurged and bought an organic cocoa-coconut butter spread for some hemp-seed waffles. I've heard a lot of good things about coconut oil (in moderation).

I'm going to make a spreadsheet for my meal plans, but it will only be for one day at a time (I get overwhelmed easy, I'm an organizer, not a planner) and I vow to pre-portion my snacks and bring them to work. I think I've been over-eating at work because I don't plan my snacks, and I NEED snacks. It's better for me to be like, "Ok I have a portion of nuts and a portion of dried fruit and a serving of dark chocolate in addition to my lunch--I therefore won't need to chow on bullshit candy and cheese and crackers around the office kitchen."

If you know you need snacks to get you by, better make them high in nutrients and yummy too. I think. We'll see how this works....

Pictures at Last!

SO I was so happy to see my girl friend and her new baby (and of course her hubby). We were anthropology majors at UCSC together, then she married her BF and they were in Oakland for a while, then they moved to Detroit where he was attending law school; but her father passed away, and they moved back. Hubby quit school to be there for her family! They lived in Chino Hills (Orange County) for a while, then she had baby Teddy. Just a month ago they moved to Oakland! I'm so happy that she's back in the Bay Area again, and closer to me! Well this weekend they were in Santa Cruz, and we had dinner.....well here are the pics:

Girl friend is half Ethiopian, half Cuban, and Dad is Italian. Baby Teddy is CUTE!




Teddy is about 10 months old. He is SO sweet and good. WOW I was amazed! His b-day is December 1st. He knows sign language! A little, when Momma sings, he laughs and signs, "music." And when he goes potty in his diapers, he signs "toilet"--pretty useful! He's learning some Amharic as well as English. I automatically began teaching him all I could learn that night, and signed my name to him a few times and pointed to myself as he watched, mesmerized. Babies are such sponges!

SO here are the stray cats on my porch; lil girl is eating, the two black cats are regulars:

Here's Little Girl. She had a piece of fluff in her mouth:


Here's the big, chubby gray cat that is obviously owned by some neighbor, but she likes to hang out and eat sometimes. I confirmed she is a girl today (I thought she was a big boy). She's friendly, she doesn't mind me petting and picking her up. The black strays run away when I come out on the deck, but Little Girl is so dependent on me feeding her, she only shies away, not runs, anymore:

My hair

SO I curled my hair yesterday and put on makeup, and it turned out I didn't go out that night! SO I took pictures of me for the hell of it. The BF was so cute, he said all sleepy and sick, when he first woke up, "Hi Lovely. You're hair is purdy." Hmmm I noticed my hair looks awfully reddish in the pictures, which I like. I always wanted redder hair.

Here is me with a Japanese book cover in the background:


Showing off my hair:




Eh...trying to give a sultry look, doesn't work too well with these lips--but hey, you won't find ME doing collagen injections! :D This is NORCAL, bitch! Not SOCAL! ;)
 
Wow, that's a lot of pix woman!! lol. The kitties are so cute! I love cats. Very nice of you to feed the strays. When I do that they always end up inside..lol.

That Japanese table is pretty cool, and the area you live in looks nice.

Your hair looks cute--as do you.:) Oh, TLD stands for temporary lesbian day, not tender loving dyke, or whatever the hell it was you were hinting at..lmao:rotflmao::rotflmao:

Have a great week, dear.:hug2::hug2:
 
You look smoking hot in all your pictures, but when do you ever take a bad picture, PLEEEEAASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those kitties are darling, I love cats and they are so sweet! And that little baby boy, AAAAAAHHH I could just pinch his little cheeks, he's a total doll face!! LOVE BABIES!! :) I love your hair!! Is it usually just straight?? I need to take some pic's like that too, so everyone can see my hair now! Your place has a very cozy warm feel to it, I love the Japanese table and all the art stuff, just perfect!! Thanks so much for taking the time to not only take all these pictures, but to share them with us as well, it takes a lot of time to do it, and you even told about each of them too, what a great idea, you are to sweet! THANKS!!
VBF!:hug2:
