I want him to look at me like he use to ..

So I got on the scale yesterday and I have lost 9lbs. I started this diet Aug 14th and lost 9lbs in two months. MM.. Not bad all I did was change my eating habits. it is so mice to see that scale go down. I try not to get hooked on what the scale says but once ya start seeing it go down it pushes you to keep going. I get depressed because sometimes the only thing I want in my diet is Ice cream and chocolate. So I come on here and read everyones diaries and posts. It is great to be able to come on here and get so much energy from the positive outlooks on weightloss. Thanks everyone once again you have helped keep the ice cream and chocolate out of my house.

:)
 
Chocolate and ice cream aren't bad if you keep it within reason. But I can't... so I rarely eat that stuff. In fact - I have a pack of mini kisses in my purse as a reminder that I can do this. They've been in there a little over a month, quite proud of myself for that actually. They're like my trophey..lol

You are doing great and I like that you're not chained to the numbers. Keep it up!! :D:D

(love the title of your diary, by the way)
 
I believe Chocolate and Ice cream are the worst for me. See I am a sweets lover. I could live on sweets. lol I CAN'T keep it within reason. I try but if I buy some chocolate/ice cream it doesnt even last the drive home. (oh it sounds good right now too)
Here is a huge high five for keeping the chocolate in your purse a month! Never could I do that.

(oh and the title of my diary kinda put my life in perspective. I want him to look at me like that again. ..It was hard to put that title out there. It motivates me everytime I see it :) )
 
Life is good! Right? LOL. So I had a great day. I went for my walk to the fitness room. Did my thing I feel great. I got on the scale..(courious george here) I gained 3.5 lbs..lol
So I guess the stress of finding a new job does weigh ya down. I still havent gotten the call "your hired". BLah I am surprised my mood is so great.
But life is amazing and I am gald to be apart of the adventure.
Thanks for all the support. I love reading everyones diaries.
The inspiration is so helpful.
I am thinking that the 4 candy bars I baught day before yesterday prob wasnt a good idea (mmm only one left. I guess it does go straight to my hips..).
Maybe tomorrow will bring a lighter day...
 
Hi, JeepGirl! What kind of "new" job are you looking forward to?

AND. I despise candy bars. They are the most tempting of anything! *grin* It is so so so hard for me to ignore them. This makes life interesting though...
 
Don't get too discouraged about the gain! The scale goes up and down, the point is to keep the range moving down! Congrats on all your progress so far!:D
 
Well, I wear his ring..
I did an interview at Cingular Wireless (which I have past experience) for the Sales Support Rep. I also went o an interview today for a Accounts Rep. for the Collections Dept. at Car-Mart. I got a second interview for the Accounts Rep. before I even left the office (pats self on back). Then today I got home and Cingular called me back for a second interview tomorrow. OH HAPPY DAY!
I am really excited. I guess I am hireable. I was starting to believe I wasnt. I was a Asst. Manager at a Cingular store a 1 1/2 ago. I can walk into this job at Cingular with my eyes closed. But his is a position with Corporate. and the one I worked at before was an agent store big differece. SO yea I guess I am just all nerves. Prob isnt helping with the weight gain. I am not doing anything to lose the weight. I just eat better and workout when I make time to. So I should expect to gain a little here and there. It isnt bringing me down..just caught me off gaurd.
Thanks for the support and relpys...I hate coming on here and have no one to talk to. It is so lonely.
Well off to make Chocolate Chip cookies (for my husband).lol I will eat a few but he will take most of them to work tomorrow.
Cross your fingers for me!! :)
 
Today was a good day. I got up early with my husband to sheww him off to work. Got ready for my second interview with Cingular. it went well. I just have to wait for the Human Resources manager to call and offer me the job. *cross your fingers* It rained all day here. I travaled the west coast the last few months didnt see much rain at all. I come back to Texas and POW!!! Rain.. rain.. rain... So I sat in the recliner and relaxed by the fireplace drinking tea and reading a book. I feel so good today. I havent weighed myself. I try not to but once a month.. I think because it was my TOM it messed the scale up a bit. ..water gain an all that. So I am back on track and ready to concor the world!!

Oh, can anyone tell me how to shrink my photo to put up above my name? It wont let me shrink it. it is like 1600x1200 or something like that and it has to be 100x100.. I need help..lol

Thanks..
 
Hey! Here's crossing fingers for you for the job interview!!

Try to shrink it in a photo program, before you try to upload it...
 
Hey jeepgirl,
thanks for stopping by my journal, I appreciate it. Best of luck to you with the job prospects... sounds like the corperate gig is in the bag for ya *fingers crossed*

as for the photo problem, if you don't have any photo programs on your computer, I'm sure you can find a utility at download.com that will do it. Search for "photo resize" and you should find what your looking for. I can't recommend anything for ya though because I haven't owned a pc in ages... I'm justin long, err I mean a mac guy
 
AS I sit and wait for my phone to ring!! *looks at phone and screams*
I figured out how to do the photo thing (thanks i wear his ring!!) It worked..I went to Paint in the lab top and it WORKED!! So there he is my bundle of love. He is awesome. Cantcha tell how interested he is in what your typing?lol He's a keeper.
So no word on the job yet.. Makes me wonder if I didnt do well in the second interview but who knows..
My man and I went for a jeep ride today. Top down, wind in our hair, mud in our hair..lol It was nice. 80 here in TX today. Gotta love it!
Workout planned for the morning. I am looking forward to it. This is my man's day off so we kinda stayed in bed late this morning...
I hope everyone had a great Thursday!!!
Be back tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for stoppin by my journal!!
 
Quick weight loss review..

Ok so I am going to do a quick review on what I have donet he past couple months so I can look back (once I have met my goal) and say oh thats how that worked...

So I started this weightloss thing Aug 14th (I believe).
My weight was the highest ever 162 (wow that was hard to type). I started a new diet and began working out AGAIN. Well a month later (after working out maybe 5-6 times from lack of ambition) I had gotton down to 156. Not bad I guess. Then I got to 153 ..then I gained a few lbs (2.5 BLAH) ..got me down again of course...
I have been working my ass off this week. I got on the scale this morning nude (no dirty thoughts) and (after a kick ass workout) I was down to (drum roll please) 151.5 .. So I ran around the house naked
( my curtains are all open too now that I look around) (blushes)
so excited..got back on the scale and it still said 151.5!!!!!!!
You know how you get on the scale and you expect to go up and you go down? That was how I felt before I got on. I am so excited!!! I have weighed myself 17 times in the last hour to make sure it was not a false weigh in. (ok you can laugh at me... now that I look back that may have been a little over board) WOW it is really true though 151.5!
How wonderful. I should be in the 140's by this time next week!!! I new hurdle to jump over.
I might just be able to get to a "whatever feels good weight" by Christmas. Kinda nice to think that may happen. Looking back at this review I think I have really displayed my personality just a little too much (which I have been told is a little to chipper) But hey this is my diary right..lol

Thanks for all the support .. I cant say that enough. it really helps!
I think I may be ready to try one of those challenges I read about...
 
Had a nice break from working out today. Had to get up early to take my husband to his oral surgeon. BLAH He had to have a tooth cut out. I feel bad. Poor thing is already really swolen and sore. he is knocked out right now from pain meds. Snoring away..I guess that is a step in the right direction considering he was only able to do the thumbs up or down sign before cause of the pain.

Had a really stressful day forgot to eat..lol
NO breakfast or lunch... ate at 4pm had leftover scallaped potatoes. YUMMY
halfa jar of pickles (my only vice) I know full of sodium. But I cant live without them !! And 1 pudding cup.
Not bad I guess. Not too healthy but not too unhealthy either.
I have tomorrow to get back up and kick some butt!!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN
 
Everything is going great. I starting to get a small case of the FLU. I hope this passes soon, I need to be well to kick some fanny in the Nov. Challenge.

Has anyone used ZyCam? Does it work? I was just wondering..maybe I can get a head start on kicking this Flu Bug!!
 
Tuesday the 7th I find out YAY or NAY from Cingular!! *Cross your fingers*
Let the count down begin..4 days to go!!

Get Zicam immediately. *grin* A doctor friend of mine swears by it. Zicam either prevents you from getting sick or it drastically reduces the amount of time you are sick. It's pretty much amazing.

Looking forward to Tuesday! *grin*
 
Sounds like a plan to me. It is just my luck to do my first Challenge and get the flu!! I will invest in some Zicam.
Thanks.
Hope ur Mom's birthday went well!! :)
