Half of Me:The Story of Fat Girl Slim

Ok, ok...I see what you guys are saying...I am being a little paranoid...it is my past biting me in the ass so to speak...I will try to relax a little bit and let loose...I know one week won't ruin everything, I just want to keep the train moving in the right direction...

Thanks for slapping me around a little bit, I need that from time to time...
 
It doesn't help that you were battling consistency before you left, from what I remember. But when you go on vacation, it is not the time to change the tide around.

Wait until you're back.

Work on consistency then.

This way, next time you go on a trip, you don't feel bad or guilty about indulging a bit. You can't erase 6 months of consistency in a week.

This is exactly it, I felt like - got a handle on things right before I left and I didn't want to lose that and have to get back on track all over again...I will try to find a middle ground and see how that works...there are soooooo many goodies down here ;)

Thanks again!
 
Ok I have relaxed a little today, had some salt water taffy and have managed to be such a Nazi w/myself about my eating...I am even drinking as I write this!

The crappy part is that I didn't get to exercise today...we will go for our walk on the boards tonight but I didn'tet to do anything else which stinks...I have been so tried from work that I have been sleeping in every day and today we didn't get up until 930 and then with breakfast, etc didn't get to the beach until 1230...stayed until 330 and BAM no time to exercise...

Tomorrow is another day...
 
Hey, Ali, this is a vacation. This is needed to keep your sanity for the rest of the time when you are working. Do not stress over not de-stressing. I hope that drink you are sipping is at least 40 proof.
 
I promise - I am drinking coconut rum, i will have to check the bottle :)

I'm working on it...being fat really f's with your head you know?
 
See...the choices were coconut rum mixed with diet cranberry juice, beer or poemgrante lemonade...

Like I said, lesser of two evils...

Tis good though...Im relaxin :)
 
Ok...did my nightly walk on the boards...never got my exercise in but one day off won't kill me (i guess)...I relaxed on the eating/driinking and the result is that I feel so full that someone should drag my fat butt on the beach and leave me there, if I'm lucky someone will mistake me for the whale I feel like and push me back out to sea...

Sounds dramatic but damn, I feel just to one side of completely stuffed and I know that I didn't completely go crazy but I am so not used to this...

I sent a friend a picture of me in the top I was wearing tonight and the response was that my shoulders and arms look really good...so I know that what I am doing is working but I just want to get these faster, I guess.

I am happy b/c I look around and I see lots of people that look like me, I can wear the same clothes as everyone else and I am not the fattest person in the room anymore...it is such a great feeling. I am happy in the clothes I am wearing and don't think I look like a fat POS anymore. I just want to take that to the next step.

Something to think about when I get home.
 
So today I went for a bike ride on the boardwalk...I think I said before that the OC boardwalk is 2 1/2 miles in legnth...well I rode it twice, leaving out a half mile each way at the end b/c I had to get the bike back to the rental place...so I biked 9 miles in all :) Not bad - nothing that was of a marathon page but my legs were talkin to me by the end.

Then, went back home, changed Abby's shoes and went for a walk on the boards, got some lunch and then walked to the shopping district here. That walk was meandering but kept us out for hours. I figure it counts for something...I got two cool pair of running shorts on sale for 70% off, they have and extra layer inside which I love b/c I normally have to wear biking shorts under my gym shorts to keep my belly in place.

The downside? I burned the HELL out of myself...as previously told, I am the palest Italian (now when you read this you have to read Italian as eye-tal-ian to get the desired effect) in the east and I was getting tan gradually...I put on 15 when I went out and then loaded up with 30 while I was out and now I look like a mother-loving lobster...

yeah, yeah, I know y'all are cracking up here but I am in pain...I'll look good in the end but hell, you could cook an egg on my chest, shoulders and back right now...

I want to go to the beach tomorrow, I suspect I will have to hide under the umbrella and maybe tan my legs (b/c tan legs are sexy :))...don't want to lose my last day...

I miss you all terrribly, I'm scared as hell to weigh in on Monday, let's hope I kept the damage to a minimum...
 
I was going to lecture, but decided not to. Be careful. Keep covered today. You don't want to miss out on all the fun and relaxation because of a bad burn. Have fun.
 
I got a little burn last weekend. I didn't protect myself but Briana got SPF 50 like every half hour while we were at the pool. She came up and hugged me from time to time, or leaned over me, etc., and I never realized she was getting sunblock on me. That stuff is supposed to be waterproof, right? By evening I had red all over my legs (which were pretty white to begin with) and nice white patches here and there from the sunblock. Go me. In the ensuing week I've managed to get everything the same color. :D

Ali, I doubt you have done as bad as you imagine. You've been pretty active and being out in that sun has probably done a number on your appetite. You may eat past the part where you are full, but in really warm weather we have less appetite. At least I do. I find myself eating smaller portions now just because I have no appetite after being in the sun so much. Of course, I have no idea what I am really talking about. But it sounds plausible.

Hurry up and get your ass back here. We miss you!
