Erin's Diary xoxo

Oh gosh, no she doesn't know and she's mutual friends with so many people it would be a giant disaster. How I get myself into these pickles sometimes I don't know :p Anyway the night went ok, mildly awkward but not too bad. Ended up leaving just after midnight since the bar was kinda lame. My one girl friend who I hadnt' seen since before Christmas was so sweet and kept saying how great I looked :) We were celebrating her new job and she kept wanting to celebrate me - which felt pretty good :)

Night all! Have a great week :D:D
 
Awesome work on breaking through that plateau! That is so motivating to me. I really need to get my eating habits back in check this week. 30 pounds is a huge success! No going back now!
I never found time this weekend to pop in the 30 day shred but I hope to this week because you are right it helps you with the toning and that is a big concentration for me right now.
Your doing so great!! Keep it up!
 
GIRL!!! AHHH! Congrats on the AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING loss! you're doing sooooo fantastic!! eeeeeeeeee! I'm all giddy now!! All your hard work is paying off! You should be so proud of yourself! Congrats again!

As for the boy drama! I hate that :( Geesh, boys!! Such pains, eh!?! But with your loss, I bet you're looking mighty fine, and he's going to be daaaaaaaaaamn jealous!! hehehe! Not that you want that, but I always feel good if I can make an old flame jealous :)

You're doing great girl! Your attitude and results is so encouraging!! :)
 
I can't believe how much you have accomplished and I love it that everyone is celebrating you!

I also love your attitude about being single because I loved being single! It was lots of fun and I was much pickier then my friends about who I dated. Some of my friends HAD to have ANYONE who would have them so they dated some HUGE lemons.

Respect and love yourself and find someone who does the same is my motto :)

Have a great week too!

Thanks Lisa - yeah my weight lately seems to be steady for about 1.5-2.5 weeks then it drops off , it's really weird but I'm glad I reduced my weigh ons so this doesn't derail me too much when I'm in my non-budging-scale times ;) I'm still stuck on Level 1 of 30DS but mostly because I really like it haha. I tried 2 once but it was after 1 so I was beat and I haven't even started on 3 haha.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank youuuuu :D :) I'm feeling great now that things are starting to show so it's definitely giving me the motivation to keep trucking along - now that I realize things dont' have to be drastic to get results just keep chugging along and things will happen.

haha yes boy drama is the worst! lol. haha and you were right about that jealous thing - that was totally what happened (of course not that I was hoping that would happen ;) but hey it's definitely a perk :p)

Thanks again for checking in - you gals keep me going!!

Thanks Tally - yes I never want to be one of those sad cliche single gals. Of course there are times when being single sucks but most of the time I have a heck of a lot of fun and it's nice to be able to be completely selfish at this point in my life - it's also nice to have the time to focus on myself and my health right now without worry about fitting someone else into it ;) It's all about me right now :D


Thanks again ladies - love all your support!! xoxo

Well gotta head to bed and up early again for another exciting day on the switchboard ;) hehe
 
Hi, i'm new around here. I just read a bit at the beginning of your diary. Looked at your pictures. Saw a pretty girl. Its great to see you are starting to include vegetables in your diet. I hope you can eliminate the jellybeans and things like that soon too. I find that banishing all sugar foods the easiest way to deal with them. There are good takeaway foods if you get caught short and decent meals make you feel more satisfied. I think planning meals ahead and shopping for them is a way to be help avoid those high cal low satisfaction foods. Keep going.
 
Hey great work so far this week!! I can't believe you've only been at it for 3 months and already 30 pounds lost - that's impressive girl!!
Great food and workout log so far - only a couple days left to end the week strong! Keep it up!
I can't remember if you mentioned it and maybe you don't want to but do you go by Arianna or Erin or neither?
 
I can't believe your amazing results in 3 months!! I also can't believe your trip is at the end of next month already!! Time flys by so fast :) You are doing so well with balancing exercise and food! I am super jealous as my splurges get so big but its because I like to store them up and then I develop what I call the sweet mouth lol but I think I do better that way. Sometimes I just enjoy being unhealthy lol

I hope you get some much needed R&R this weekend and some awesome play time with some friends!
 
Wow I'm the worst! Poor poor diary and forum you got shuffled to the bottom of my priority list this last month! Between a bunch of changes at work and hockey playoffs (go Canucks!) things have been pretty hectic. I definitely have to go through and update myself with everyone else's diary :)

Things are pretty much the same with me. Still keeping my own food diary every day and doing my exercise 5 times a week (though I'll admit most of my 1 hour sessions have reduced to 30-45 minutes) Had a nasty few weeks of a plateau at about 175lbs (this could have also been due to extra beer and such from all those hockey games at the pub - damn you play offs haha) but just swept by that this past weekend and am sitting at about 168lbs right now which I'm super happy with :)

Vegas in less than three weeks and my goal for that was to be at 165lbs so even if I don't hit that by then it's pretty darn close already! I've got lots of new cute dresses for my trip and even some new swimsuits so yay :D I imagine the drinking and extra food will pack on a few pounds during my trip but I've been working and waiting for it for so long that I"m happy to indulge for a few days :)

Hope everyone is doing good and sorry for vanishing there for a bit - Bad Erin!! ;)
 
I'm glad everything is still going well! You are going to look amazing for the trip and have so much energy! I also can't believe how fast time flew by and vegas is sooo soon! You are probably totally excited! My friend went recently and she talked about in an out burger and I was soo jealous!!!!!!

I want to go to vegas and eat lol I don't really care about the gambling but I feel like the night life seems so fun.
 
Wow I really am the worst!! :( Another two weeks and missing in action - oops! But been super crazy busy getting ready for Vegasss!! and so many changes at work has kept me pretty busy.

So I'm finally leaving tomorrow for my trip :D !! Feeling pretty good about everything - lots of new clothes and fun things so I'm really looking forward to it!

Still sitting at about 164lbs (oops I put 174lbs before) (I usually get stuck around the mid range and then drop down to the lower end of the next range out of nowhere - though I doubt with Vegas that will happen this time haha). Not as much exercise as I'd like lately but still eating well and keeping things in check (so I can really splurge on my holidays and enjoy things that I want - well in moderation)

Thanks lady - I've missed ya and being on here - hopefully when things calm down more when I'm back I can get back to regular here :) mmm In and Out burger sounds delicous - maybe there will be one close by :p

Yeah I'm not big on gambling either but I like that you can cator the holiday to what you want to do. I like the laying by the pool and drinks part, then a wee bit of shopping, out to dinner or a show then off to dance my buns off! But there's something for everyone, tourist-y type things, tons of shopping, tons of entertainment, it's pretty great!
