Ground Breaking Realizations....

I am feeling really good today! I have lost another two pounds (well I gained back a pound and lost two) but I'm still happy! I only have 3.8 pounds to go Until I reach the 260 mark!! I am determined to do it by next Monday! Although it will be hard. Sims2 Pet expantion pack comes out today and I have a feeling my hubby will be bringing it home for me :rolleyes: ...did I mention he is awesome!...anyway, it will be hard to not sit my big butt in front of the computer all weekend. I'm am really going to still try and do an hour of DDR and an hour on the treadmill every night still. I think I have a workout partner. It is this chick who goes to the apartment gym at the same time as me. We both like the same dumb reality shows, i.e. The Amazing Race, The Bachelor, tonight America's next top model. She is always there when I'm there and pretty cool chick.

Anywayz...I am going to post a top five list later. I am just so happy I lost 2 pounds! I felt like I was in a slump, but not anymore :D
 
congrats on the two pound loss! you are totally on the right track and i know you can make your goal by monday!
 
Hey Elegance.

your loss is awesome, keep it up (I know you will)
I've just been catching up the last couple of days, loved your top five about clothes and trips... and the pictures, soon you won't even look the same, no doubt about so they are good to have:) And I loved you dogs too:)
Well, I been missing a lot of diaries so... good to see you are on the right track!
 
Another wonderful day! I lost another approximate 2 pounds! My current weight is 261.6!! Only 1.6 pounds to go till I hit 260 mark! Soooo happy! Only 2.2 pounds to go before I loose a total of 10 pounds!

I’m so excited I’ve decided to give a recital. I know I don’t talk about this much but I love to sing Opera. I used to be a Vocal Performance major, and I’m an alright singer. Never as good as I wanted, and not good enough to be a professional opera singer, but I still like to sing.

One of my biggest dreams is to have a recital! I never went to my prom or homecoming or anything. So, I’ve always wanted to have a recital and dress up all fancy. I was thinking about doing a Halloween recital and singing kind of spooky opera arias including Mahler’s collection of songs on the death of children.

Well I’m so pumped and I have decided to give a Valentines day recital too! I’m going to ask my voice teacher if we can use her house (I’ll pay her like fifty bucks or something. By Valentines Day I think I will have lost (if I loose 15 pounds a month until February) around 55 pounds and will weigh between 210-215 pounds. It will be a great time to get a pretty new dress and I’m sure I’ll be happy about performing! I’ve been working on some romantic songs so it all fits in. I am really excited now!

Does anyone know if my pants size is a size 20 now what will it be once I am 210 pounds? I guess if I figured it I would be a size 15 or so? That would be fine with me! Although, I’d love to be a size 14!

I know this is a whole bunch of stuff. I’m just so happy!

So my top five today:

The Top Five Dresses I would wear at my Valentine’s Day Recital:
1.
2.
3.
4. *in red*
5.
 
Wow that is so exciting!!! I LOVE your dress pictures-amazing taste!!!

My fave is the second one- gorgous and stylish. Or the last one. Breathtaking and v appropriate for valentines day!!! The first one looks like it would be good for a halloween recital!!
 
That's awesome weight loss!!! The recital sounds great, good luck to you :) And the dresses are reallyyyy pretty. I agree with Kez, I like the second one.
 
Well guys I am just copying and pasting this for everyone. Trying to keep up and not having a lot of time. So I'll make it short and sweet. Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

THank you so much for the support Mahatt, and everyone!

I am in a good mood today besides the general bitchiness, and I didn't weight myself because I woke up at 6:58 a.m., and my ride pickes me up at 7! :eek: But, I'm fine. I don't need to weigh in every day anyway.

Last night my hubby surprised me with the Sims2 expansion pack Pets!!! Oh my, I have to make sure I don't loose my life and exercise to this game. I didn't exercise last night. :( But, I figure I deserve a day off. So, today when I get home I am going to exercise before I do anything else!!! Because I know the rest of the night I will sit on my butt playing that game. :rolleyes:

I'm getting super excited because on November 4th I'm going to Philadelphia for a week! I have never been, and my work is paying for it so it should be fun! I will miss my hubby and my doggies though. It is okay, when I get back I know I will get super good hugs from all of them! (yes I am cheesy :rolleyes: )

ALSO, on the 28th I'm going to see Don Giovanni at Houston Grand Opera. I can't wait. This sunday I will probably get a new outfit for it. :D

so, today's top five will keep in line with my recital. Since it is going to be a Valentine's Day Recital I am going to put 'love' quotes in the program. here are five that I've been concidering:

Top Five Love Quotes:
1. "'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it." -- Elizabeth Bowen

2. Who is so firm that can't be seduced? -- William Shakespeare

3. Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be. -- Charles "Tremendous" Jones

4. Hope is the expectation that something outside of ourselves, something or someone external, is going to come to our rescue and we will live happily ever after. -- Dr. Robert Anthony

5. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. -- Captain Corelli's Mandolin:p :p :p
 
Okay, did alright over the weekend. i think I am just going to start calling it the friday fluctuation. I always seem to gain a few pounds on friday, loose them by sunday, so I never make any real progress on the weekends. But hey! at least I didn't gain any. SO today I weighed in at 261.4. A little dissapointed I didn't hit the 260 mark over the weekend, but I am going to try extra hard to hit it in the next few days.

Hope everyone has a great monday!
 
So my favorite thing to do while working out is watch movies. So, I have asked for a portable DVD player to watch while I'm working out at the gym for Christmas.

So, today's top five is:

Top Five Movies to Watch While on the Tread Mill:::
1. Saturday Night Fever (must say this is my fav. movie of all time! :D )
2. As Good as it Gets (Another favorite)
3. Blood Sport (Don't ask :p )
4. LOTR, any really, but my favorite is Return of the King
5. Pride and Prejudice (not the new one, it is alright, but the best Pride and Prejudice is the one from the BBC...Oh Mr. Darcy, mmmm, mmmm :rolleyes:
 
Hi Elegance,
You are doing so great, and your motivation SHINES through your posts!!

I love all 5 of the dresses. Especially #4 (the last one posted) and #2, Oh my, they're all beautiful!

When I started losing weight I was almost 260 and wearing 20's & 22's. When I hit 210 I was in a size 16 I don't know how tall you are, and we're all built so differently, but I have a typical hour glass figure (Just more like a 5 hour, hour glass) ;)

15 pounds a month sounds like a lot, keep in mind that the more you lose, the harder it will be to maintain that kind of a weightloss schedule, I wouldn't want you to feel bad if you don't hit that "target" You're doing great and with your determination this weight WILL come off!
 
Thanks M2M for the encouragement. I know that my weight loss goals are pretty far up there, but I am really not even thinking of those long term goals. I am thinking of week to week. I figure you loose weight faster in the beginning so that is when I want to push myself the hardest. I know that it will take about 2 years for me to get the body i want. So, right now I am mainly focusing on day to day, week to week. Thanks!
 
If it takes 2 years it takes 2 years :). Just remember, you'll look and feel better after 1 month or 2 or 3. Even the journey can be great!
 
Hey Elegance,

Thats damn close. only 1,4 pounds and you are on a milestone. Good work:)
I like your idea about the dvd, and if I didn't need a loot of things for my apartment I would wish for that too.
Anyway, I must say I got a surprise when I saw pride and prejudice from BBC on your list of films. Not because I think its bad, no not at all. I always considered myself a bit weird for having it - but its so good:) All the caracters are so great, and mr. darcy:) How Elizabeth can take her mother so calmly is a wonder... Well, enough of that or I'll be tempted to put it on right now:)
