gwal's DIARY

Hey Everyone-

It seems that with the month of June comes craziness around my house and neighborhood. Every weekend is occupied with activities with family and friends. I've had little time to check back to the forum, but rest assured, I've not left you.

I was in Toronto for the weekend for a concert, pigged out for dinner, but didn't gain any weight (I guess the working out has paid off).

Hope to be back soon!
 
It's good that you are getting in lots of fun. Wow a concert in Toronto!!!! Very nice!

I hope the workouts are treating you well. :)
 
You were in TO this weekend? I was in New York! lol We switched places. Well, I was in NY from Sunday until yesterday. Had a great time too.
 
Hey Everyone,

I know I've been a stranger, but I really have been stopping by to read the forum, but I just haven't had time to post like I normally would. I have been doing pretty well. I'm working out like crazy, and my diet has been pretty good, but I am at a plateau. I know it will pass, but it's frustrating.

Sunny-It's funny that you were in NY while I was in TO. Where in NY where you? We went up to TO to see Joss Stone in concert. She was playing at the KoolHaus. It was so damned hot in there, not sure how they can call it kool.... But, we had a great time. Went to out favorite place for breakfast (Richtree Markets)...you have to go there.

Felici-Thanks for stopping by. I can always count on you to keep my diary going.

Steve-yes, I've been a stranger. But, my busy life makes me happy. And that is what it's all about, right?

I have been doing great with my diet these last several days. I'm trying to shed a few extra pounds before my vacation at the end of the month. It feels like every pound makes a difference in how my clothing fits, and I just feel better. I know I'll gain some back on the vacation (it's all inclusive, lots of food, not too many healthy choices, lots to drink), but at least I'm starting out with less weight.

Hope all are doing well. I think Summer has us all so busy and away from our computers...not a bad thing, really.

It's good that you're at a weight where a few pounds does make that nice difference. Good luck with the extra loss - and I hope your holiday is a blast! :)
 
I think the lights they use in the dressing rooms are some special anti-confidence brand. Its seems that they work especially strong when people are trying on swim wear. Sorry you had to feel the effects & I know how you are feeling. I dread the bathing suit buying, even back when I liked the way I looked & weighed. It's just not a very comforting situation.

One trick I have found is to have a tan. For some reason everything looks better on skin that has a lil color for me. I'm using the Jergens lotion right now & it seems to be working pretty good.

Good luck finding a suit that suits you & makes you feel happy.
 
Oh I get that about the bathing suit!! All the unflattering sights can sit on your spirits - though in lots of ways they don't really count - because you're not going to buy those nasty suits. I hope you find the right one soonest. MoonGoddess is right about skin colour too, and that will probably come on the holiday even if not helped along beforehand. :)
 
Hi Jen!
I haven't been by here in forever, but I'm glad to see you are really going for it!
I also hate swimsuit season. Since I'm an old lady (46) I rarely buy one. I just use the ones I have. I swear those lights show every lump and uneveness especially on your legs!!
Where are you vacationing? I hope you have a really relaxing time. Maybe if you are at a sunny location with a beach, you could do some beach volley ball!! You sound like you are getting in awesome shape!
Have a great one!

Hey everyone-

sorry I haven't stopped by in awhile. I was on vacation in Canada for the last week of june into july, and summer's been so busy that I haven't been at the computer like I usually am. I'm having a difficult time with the dietary issues, with all the impromptu bbq's, etc. But my workouts have been fairly consistent. I'm going to try to stay back online as you've all helped me so much in the past.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Jen! Nice to see you post.

It sounds like you have been having a nice time and enjoying your summer. Lovely. It's good that you have kept at least one part of your weight loss plan going. I think that can be a saving grace when circumstances are pulling us away. Especially as your workouts were sounding really strong when you last posted.
 
Nice to see you! You've been missed. :) I hope you had a blast here in our beautiful country. :D
Ah yes... the summer BBQs... they always seem to mess with weight loss plans. Just do your best and keep up the exercise!
 
Hi Jen, Showing your journal some love :) How are you doing? Are you in the 180's now? Just curious on your progress. Take care, hope all is well with you.
