Gotta get thin!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I think it's probably a blessing that we didn't get the house. I wasn't 100% excited about the remodeling that we were going to have to put into it.

It was just an awful feeling because after 7 months of looking, we finally found a place that we really loved. My stomach just sunk when I listened to the message from our realtor. Oh well, life goes on. We will find something better!

On another note, I've decided my weight loss goal is just too steep. I don't know why I wanted to be 110 pounds anyway! After my workout last night, I started thinking about it, and I could really only lose about 5 or 6 pounds, tops. I want to be more toned, which I will definitely be after these push-ups!

I'm much happier today than I was yesterday!

I am glad to hear that you re-evaluated your weight-loss goals.
I didn't want to give you anything but encouragement but I was a bit worried about you trying to go that low.
And your right with toning you will look FAB-TAB-U-LOUS!
Like you don't already! hahaha
 
yay!! im amazed at your dedication... you're doing great! and yea... weight loss and fitness is more than just a number on a scale. it takes brains(and you clearly ahve plenty :)) to realise that a certain weight might not be the best for us, and we should stop at where we look and feel amazing, and THAT might be 20lbs above our 'goal weight'.

all the best with your toning :) i can't wait to see your FINAL pictures!!
 
Thanks for the support, girls!

I doubt I will ever have "final" pictures, since I can see myself as always working to get better, but I will definitely post pictures in a month or two to show progress.

I did a few measurements today to determine my frame size, which I had always thought to be somewhere around small-medium.

I am 5'2"
My wrist measurement is 6 1/8"
and my elbow breadth is 2 5/8"
According to EVERY calculator that measures this, I am well within a LARGE FRAME SIZE, and that my ideal weight is 128 lbs - 143 lbs.

I still feel like this MUST BE WRONG.
There is no way my ideal weight is 128 lbs.
I still feel like there is no way my body frame is large.

I don't get it.

I just stopped caring! I got in a fight with my husband over dinner. I was going to have a quick snack when I got home from work and asked if he wanted anything and he acted as if I should have known he wanted to eat a full meal right away. I got upset, as I made dinner, and he sat on the couch reading about sports.

that sounds extremely familiar.
I am very sensitive and usually, attitude and the tone of voice is enough to make me sad. but I realized I was just hurting myself and they get over it pretty quickly so I decided to let it slide now, much happier person!
we will all have small step backs but that doesn't really affect all the time and effort we put in our lifestyles. I am glad you are exercising and feeling better.

the frame size thingy is so weird! I have small bones and am very small on top but large on the bottom, big hips. so I have some sort of mixed frame! haha
I am 5'2 just like you!
currently at 150 lbs and 30 pounds over my ideal weight, so there's no way 128- 140 is my ideal weight either. I am thinking 115-120 at most.
we all carry our weight differently so you should focus on how you look instead of the numbers.
xoxo!
 
You're totally right. I've been very emotional lately. Partly because I'm PMSing, partly because my boss (company owner) is moving out of state to take a new job and my future with the company is uncertain, and partly because the stress of buying a home.

The home we wanted just went under contract and we didn't have a chance to put an offer on it. I feel like we have to start all over now.

It was nice to be out with my husband playing basketball last night. Tonight we're going to the Lakers/Jazz playoff game. I always worry about my diet at games because they really don't have any healthy-low calorie options at the arena. I'll be at the gym in an hour. I hope it makes me feel better.
 
I'm sorry you didn't get the house you wanted. Disappointment sucks.
I agree with others here, I think 115 is a good weight goal for you! You already look great, and with a bit more weight off and toning, you'll be more than ready for the beach this summer!
I hope you enjoyed the game tonight! :)
 
AHH, I totally know how disappointed you must have felt when you didn't get the house! Being a college student, finding apartments is hard around campus. I found one FINALLY after three months (and my lease at my current one was ending in two weeks). I went over to sign the lease and was the FIRST to show up, but the manager person was late, and by the time she came, there were four other people waiting. She said she wasn't there to see who came first, so she had us write our names on a piece of paper to randomly draw one out!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYY [insert noun], I was pissed that day.

Thankfully I found a MUCH BETTER place, so HAH :) You will definitely find someplace BETTER. :D
 
Thanks everyone!

I did pretty well yesterday with my food and exercise. I was very busy, all day long.

Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal. 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 4 strawberries, 6 grapes. (200)
Lunch: Tuna Melt (375)
Snack: Baby Carrots (30)
Dinner: Broccoli and Cheese Steamers (150)
Snack: Some of Hubby's French Fries (300ish)
Total: 1055

3 Liters of water

Exercise: 1 mile on treadmill (10 minutes), shadow boxing (45 minutes)


Went to the Jazz/Lakers game last night. It was absolutely one of the best NBA games I have ever been to. By far the best game of the season! We won when the Lakers missed a last second shot after being down by 13 in the 3rd. Yay JAZZ! (The only junk food I ate at the game was a few french fries, and I think I estimated high on the caloric intake -- oohh, I also had a big diet coke - bad me! lol)

Life's good today. I sound like a bipolar mess.
 
I found this and wanted to put it in my Diary.

This is from 4-20-09
Chest 34"
Waist 27"
Hips 36"
Thigh 22"
Arm 11"
Neck 12.25"

No idea what any of this means, but I hope to make these numbers a little smaller.
 
I hope you are feeling better hun! and the rough patch is over soon.
PMSing is terrible I have to keep reminding myself that it is mostly my body playing tricks on me but still.

those numbers will go down.
my hips are 42 inches, imagine that. I am very hippy and not in the cool enviromental way haha
 
Go Jazz :)

So happy we won. Sorry about my unenthusiastic expression. I really hate my arms and I'm afraid that shirt is too small. :(

I loved it when I bought it. It's got little rhinestones all over it and it's so shiny. Haha, I'm such a sucker for that stuff.

Now, while I still like looking at it, I hate looking at it on me.
 
I just got back from lunch. I decided to walk there from the office (about 1/2 mile each way) in my work heels. Not my brightest idea, but I thought I could get in a little bit of exercise since I didn't have to pick up my husband for lunch (he's at a fancy banquet for an award he's getting from work).

I went to Burger King. Probably not my best choice. It was between there, Subway, Sizzler and Arbys. I ordered a BK Veggie burger w/o Mayo. Whooping 340 calories.

I refilled my two water bottles. Once I drink those, I've hit 2.5 liters of water for the day.

Some guy honked at me while I was walking back to the office while the passenger whistled at me. I probably should be offended, but it gave me confidence.

When I got back to the office, no one had even known I left (since my car was still there - haha). Maybe I can get out of here early today because of that! That'd be nice.

LOL, that's such a jerk thing to do, BUT, it does give a girl a bit of confidence. Strange how that is, huh?

OMG, that's not bad at all! It could have been so much worse. If we HAVE to get fast food, getting the healthiest stuff from there is the best option.
 
Hey girl I just read through your whole diary pretty much. I am glad to see I'm not the only one that goes to the home of the whopper and orders a veggie burger lol. People always look at me like whattt the fat girl eats veggies lol. So I hope your having a great day and have you lost your mind walking a mile in heels I would be dying but I haven't worn heels in like years. Keep up the good work before you know it your gonna wake up one day and walk by the mirror and be like who is that fine chick and then freak when you realize its you lol. Hmm I remember when I walked by the mirror and thought some fat chick had broke into my house then I realized no its your big rear Candice.
 
Them veggie burgers are pretty awesome! Although I think mine was mircowaved too long or something because it was hard to chew through in some parts.

I thought about bringing it back and asking for another one, but hell, I worked in fast food for 6 years, and I couldn't bring myself to do it.

You're funny :) I like you. We outta be weight loss pals!
 
HAHA have you ever seen that movie Waiting. I will never send food back again. This lady sends her food back and they do all sorts of nasty stuff to it. I will just eat my wrong food. And yea I would totally be your weight loss buddy we are both in the 20's just your in the 1's and I'm in the 2's lol.
 
Oh gosh! I've never seen the movie, but one of my co-workers was telling me about it years ago! It sounded really funny.

I can honestly say that I've never seen anyone do anything nasty to food that was returned. Usually it's no big deal...ya know...it takes a few seconds to fix it.

Once though, we had a really horrible customer, who was mean, and I had an employee that threatened to spit on it (he didn't though, I watched him...and later he got fired) haha.
