Here comes the bride...6 months to go!!

[chubbygirl]

Thanks guys for understanding and your posts helped but my mood hasn't changed much. Weighed in at 145.4 which is only 0.8 less in two weeks - garbage. I feel like I've hit a plateau because looking back on my week I had a lot of really good days and the bad weren't that bad. I feel like the days I was good I was better than I have been in a long time so it's just frustrating. My measurements are improving so I need to concentrate on that today and try to change this horrible mood around. Here's how they look;
Took some measurements again this morning too.
Feb 11/Today (May 5)
Chest - 36 / 34 (down 2)
Waist (smallest) - 30.5/ 28 (down 2.5)
Waist (bbutton)- 35 / 31 (down 4)
Hips - 39 / 36 (down 3)
Thigh - 23 / 21 (down 2)
Calf -14.5/ 14 (down .5)
Arm -12.5/ 11.5 (down 1)
So not much change from the end of April - I'm having a hard time being positive about anything today. Tomorrow I'm sure I will be ecstatic about this.
My hunnie called and apologized - well sort of but we still have lots to talk about and it's still on my mind.
My mom told me I'm aiming to high for my goal weight and I'm not being reasonable. She told me I should be happy where I am and just concentrate on maintaining but that's really not what I want. I told her I wanted to be a size 6 and she told me to stop being unrealistic. Most of my pants are still size 10 and my bones aren't sticking out of my body so why does she think I should stop trying - I know my face is a lot thinner then the rest of my body and that is what she is seeing and not my naked flabbyness. Wow I sound like such a baby! I guess that's what this diary is for.

Awwww sunshine!!!!! I just had time to read your post. MEN!!!! Uggghh...I'm telling you. It happens. I often find myself telling my bf that "It's not always ALL about you alright." ..He just looks at me aimlessly.

You have every right to be upset. Every right to vent it out, and every right to want to discuss it with him later. "Thanks babe"...ugg..that would have annoyed me too!
...meaning that he's going for the "sale" and glad he told you about it!...grrrr

...They just don't realize sometimes the annoyance they cause...and $40 jeans is what you deserve! That's not a lot to ask for..and he should be more aware of the finances, but it sounds like you have more control over that than he does. More awareness I mean. Give it time and breathe and you will be back ontop of your happy attitude. I always think of money as an energy. If you have no negative emotions letting that energy go in a positive manner...then more energy in a positive manner will flow back to you in the form of $$$ dollars!

...Stay positive dear, and NO..you have NOT HIT A PLATEU!!! A plateu is when you have been STUCK for months!!!! Girl, you only had one baby week where not much happened. STICK WITH IT!!!! Positivity!!!! Have a great day.

...remember that we make the "CHOICE" to get upset and ruin our day. He is going to have a GREAT day. Remember that. He made that "CHOICE". Now you make the CHOICE to do the SAME! ...

Hey look on the bright side - you're at 145 now!!! And your measurements are almost identical to mine!!! Don't let your mom discourage you from your goal. Keep going for it. I sometimes think 125 is unrealistic for myself... who knows, maybe it is, and maybe my body is comfortable around 135 but I'm still gonna keep going for it! No matter what weight you end up at, you are already tiny! The measurements say it all! You should feel so good and damn proud of where you are at now!

Look at those inches melting away. You told me last week to concentrate on how you feel rather than what you see on the scales and that you may drop suddenly. Your measurements show that you are melting all those inches. And i have seen your photos and you look FANTASTIC. 145lbs is great and you have come soooo far. Congratulations!

RE: what your mom is saying--1) she's your mom and she'll always be concerned whether you gain or lose weight- moms are programmed that way. Mine is the same. LOL! 2) you are the one who understands your body. You know you will be happy with your goal weight and size six and are working hard towards that. Stick to it. Moms will be moms.

RE: Men. Ugh...what to say about them except 'can't live with them, can't live without them'. My hunnie is the same- becomes quite unreasonable and is very very hard for him to apologize. We are still doing the long distance thing so that makes matters even worse. Im sure you will work things out once you reach home. Good luck.

Your chest and waist measurements are about the same as mine, but God, I would LOVE to have 36 inch hips! That is one of my ultimate goals! I still have a few inches to go - I always have such trouble shifting weight from that area. I think I will tear off all my clothes and dance around in delight when I achieve that! You should feel really proud of how far you've come!

I agree with this!!!!!!

Thank you guys for the comments - they all really mean so much and I'm happy to say I am in a much better mood today and feel much better about yesterday! I realized I am the lowest I have been since I can remember - maybe grade 6? So I am really proud of that. I also got naked when I got home yesterday (except for my undies) and walked out in front of my hunnie flexing and said how do I look? He was smiling so big and the look on his face was priceless. It took a lot for me to walk out of the washroom but I felt so good doing it after. Baby steps I'm taking here, lol! We didn't really talk about the money issues but we both put it behind us and had a great dinner together and are really looking forward to our trip this weekend.
After dinner my mom picked me up to go to a Nu Skin party she was hosting at a friend's house. She has recently become a distributor since she likes the products so much and since my sister is distributing it also. I went with her to help do demo's on these ladies to see if they are interested in the galvanic spa. We only did half their faces so they could see the difference and some of the ladies looked so good after - 1 decided to make a purchase right away and the others are going to think about it but I think my mom got really excited to make her first sales.
Because we went to a party with a bunch of ladies there were lots of temptations but I think I did really good. Here's how yesterday looked;
Exercise - 20 min treadmill (1.5 miles - intervals)
B - ff yogurt & all bran buds (2)
No snacks - I was so busy at work I didn't even have time to go upstairs and make a cup of tea! I have a feeling today will be the same.
L - veggie salad (same as yesterday) w ff dressing (1)
Exercise - 30 min treadmill (2.4 miles - intervals)
D - tuna melts - 2 pieces WW whole wheat bread (1), 3/4 can tuna (2), little bit of mayo, hot sauce, onion & sweet pickle (2), 1 slice ff cheese (1), 1 thin slice hot genoa (1)
Snacks - 6 oz red wine (3), approx. 25 whole wheat taco chips (5), 2 cookies - healthy kind my mom brought 1 point each (2)
I resisted chocolate cheesecake, taco dip & I really wanted more wine!!
Came home and went straight to bed - hunnie was at hockey and normally I would have had to have something before bed but I was satisfied with my snacks and only 1 point over which I earned through activity so all in all a great day! I think this is the best I have been 3 days in a row and I plan to make it 4 today!
We have a big audit at work next week and I have lots to prepare today since I won't be here tomorrow so unfortunately I can't do much visiting again today. I might be able to get on at lunch for a minute but if I don't get to wish you a great weekend, know that I am thinking about you and wishing you the best! This weekend is going to be tough but I am going to try my best and track everything so I can be accountable on Monday. My sister has a treadmill too so I should get on there at least once.
Oh one more thing - my maid of honour is 3 months pregnant - just found out yesterday!! I'm so excited for her!! She already has a 9 month old so she is going to be extra busy! My dreams were to have kids at the same time as her because up until a couple years ago we did everything together and every stage of our life happened at the same time and now she is experiencing motherhood before me and I feel like I'm missing out a little. I know I will get my turn but I just thought it would be so fun to experience it together. I am really happy for her though! I'm sure she will have like 5 kids so one of them we can plan to be at the same time maybe!
Have a great Thursday and an even better weekend!! Stay healthy forum friends!

[RachelSilvana]

Good on you for resisting the delicious snacks and wine! I'm glad you're feeling better than before and congrats on baring it all in front of you man! We're our own worst enemy and sometimes we forget how we are seen in others eyes, and I hope that that experience proved to you just how beautiful and sexy you really are!

 

[Sunshyne]

Lisa I know how you feel about the plateau.....just keep up the good work and you will see progress Keep going!!

 

[Alta818]

I am SO PROUD of you walking out there and flexing NAKED!! ...WHooohooooO!!! I knew he'd be impressed with your sexiness!!! Great Job woman!!!

..So glad your mom found a venture of business that she likes and can make some extra money at it! That's always a plus in this economy. So sweet of you to help support her. You should click her website link on here...never heard of those products.

..But yes, GREAT job on only doing 6 oz. of wine and avoiding the snacks!...Your FOCUS is astounding lately! ....And I bet the hunnie is loving his flirt making a COMEBACK! yes!!!!!! Have a great weekend!....And good for letting the money issue slide. The past is the past. Leave it there. HAHAAH~

 

[mizzie]

[mrskt20]

[Verobc1]

Hey Lisa

Conrats on being able to walk out of that washroom naked!!!! I have such a hard time doing that! I was very jealous of everyone on here that can just switch off the lights, because my husband won't let me!

Good Job on the workouts and resisting the snacks...You are doing GREAT!!!!

Have a great weekend !

 

[skkroll]

Where are you?! I hope you had a nice weekend and that you stayed on track. I hate it when you come back not feeling well! Hope to hear from you tomorrow! I've got 2 finals and a presentation to do tomorrow and then I'm done and summer begins! I also got that summer job so I will have 2 jobs to keep me busy and away from the kitchen! And my 20th birthday is this Thursday! And I cheated and weighed myself this morning and lost 2 pounds since I last weighed myself 2 weeks ago so it looks like the weight watchers thing is helping! Gosh I feel like your my best friend that I haven't seen in a few days that I need to tell everything to! LOL

Chat with ya tomorrow I hope!!

Totally fell off track and came back not feeling well - you called it!! Took yesterday off because of it. Congrats on getting the summer job - and being done today is SOO exciting!!! I knew it would be too hard to resist the scale that long especially because you had been doing so well! That's awesome you are already down 2 pounds!! I missed chatting with you this weekend too! It's almost been a week!! I'm back and not going anywhere for a while!!!

OK so I'm back!!! What a fun and crazy weekend I had! I'll try to break it down day by day the best I can remember!!
Thursday - worked out a ton at night and then blew it by eating two huge butter tarts at the end of the night.
Friday - woke up and ran 5km before I had to get to the airport. Started drinking red wine on the plane and finished three little bottles before we landed. One of my sisters picked us up and we headed down town to a pub to meet up with my other sister, bother in law and a couple friends. Continued drinking and ordered some pub food - split the club house with hunnie and some fries. Walked a bit and did our own pub crawl - doing shots at every pub. Ended up at a casino and i didn't even play 1 dollar - that was a huge accomplishment but I really wanted to shop the next day and knew if I lost my money I wouldn't be able to. Passed out around 2am which was 4am my time.
Saturday - Couldn't sleep at woke up at 7am with a bit of hang over. Watched some tv and got ready to go shopping. Shopped for a couple hours and bought a new pair of jeans and a couple things for work. The clothes my sister had for me to go through were awesome and I got like 6 pairs of pants and 5 shirts all for free! Picked up stuff to bbq for lunch and started drinking again. Went to my other sisters house for a poker game and a bunch of friends showed up. She had all kinds of snacks out - taco dip, wings, pizza, tarts, chips & dip, etc. I ate it all because we didn't really have dinner and were just snacking all night. Went to bed so late again and just so full.
Sunday - woke up at 6:30 am to get to the airport and had a delicious fried egg sandwich from chillis in the airport. Slept most of the plane ride and when we landed we went for lunch with my mom and then she dropped us off at home. Had an hour nap and had to go back to town to have dinner with hunnie's mom - I was so exhausted and really didn't want to go. Again more grease and bad food to make my stomach feel really ill.
Monday - woke up for work and decided I was too tired to manage through the day and used a personal day off. Here's what food looked like:
B - ff activia yogurt & all bran buds (2)
L - 6 inch veggie sub on 9 grain bread (6)
D - veggie salad - cucumber, green onions, green grapes, orange pepper, black olives, chick peas w balsamic vinegar & olive oil (2)
Exercise - 40 min treadmill (3.3 miles - intervals, 460 cal burned), push-ups & sit-ups with the ball, squats & lunges.
Snacks - apple (1), carrots w ranch dressing (4)
5 points under but I really needed to shrink my tummy back down after all the bad food from the weekend. Still feel like I'm retaining some water today so plan to do really well and drink lots of water. I couldn't make it up this morning for the treadmill but I do plan to get a good workout tonight. I don't think I will be weighing in tomorrow but I do want to go before the end of the week.
It's less than 3 months now till the wedding so it's time to really step it up and no cheating. I want to be perfect during the week and still allow a couple heavier points days for the weekend but nothing that will derail my efforts like this past weekend! I really don't feel too guilty about it because I had so much fun and don't plan to go crazy like that again till the bachellorette! I have lots of catching up to do on diaries so hopefully I get to you all today!! I have lots of work to do too, lol!!

 

[mizzie]

I'm glad you had such a fun weekend. New clothes are so fun when you've lost weight. I think I'm going to treat myself to a new shirt this weekend if I find something that really strikes me. Naughty girl for all the drinks and bar food! But that's ok. We all need our free days once in a while where we can cut loose and eat whatever. Just get back to it now!!!

I think you should go for the weigh in tonight, just to see where you are at. If it's a bad one, then kick yourself into gear and make next week's weigh in a good one.

 

[skkroll]

Sounds like a crazy wild and fun weekend!!! I'm glad you had a good time! I figured that's why you weren't around yesterday LOL I can't believe the wedding is only 3 months away! It will be your special day before you know it. How exciting :-D Do you have any mini goals right now? I just set one for myself... I want to hit 130 by June 13th! This gives me a month to step up my game and shed this weight! I'm not sure I will get there, but hopefully I can get close. I just gotta keep the partying to a minimum! Which shouldn't be a problem now that school will be out for the summer!

Have a great day Lisa!

It's tomorrow afternoon and the more I think about it the more I am thinking I will go and face the music - then the next week I can have a big loss! Thanks for stopping by Mizzie!

Good idea mini goal! Ok my goal is to be 140 by my wedding shower June 18th but since I weigh in on Wednesday's that means 140 by June 16th - 5 weeks - I think it's attainable but I'm going to have to bust my butt!! I'm ready for the challenge!
