Icychic's Weightloss Diary

Thanks Vero :)

Sadly I haven't done much of the wedding planning yet. Too busy at work to make calls, kinda hoping it slows a bit so I can do wedding planning at work but I don't think it will for some time :( Hoping we can find a nice hall that isn't super expensive and is available in June...But yes, trying to take it 1 day at a time and prioritize what we need to do. Hoping to call some halls this week and get prices and then check them out on the weekend perhaps. Saturday we must go to 2 shops and check out the kilt rentals and sash's they have to see if they have the right clans or if we need to figure out something else. Also saw some nice inexpensive rings at one of them.

It's sterling silver but $150 for the Gent's 9mm and $135 for ladies 7mm. But I like that it doesn't have the straight across band because my ring is odd shaped. Not sure how it will look with all the holes and stuff but will try and see.

That one is also nice, but $395 each 10ct gold.

But enough about that. It has been busy so far today, but hoping it dies down a bit and I can do my workout early. Also possibly expecting a couple people today though so hoping they both show up early too. But if nothing else I will stop at 5pm and do my workout and take breaks to check emails if needed. I haven't lost hope, still motivated, and to me that is a very good thing. Trying to think of days like yesterday as set-backs not failures, because that's what it is. The only way I can fail is to stop trying and give up, and I refuse to do that because I'd only be hurting myself in the end. I want to look AMAZING at my friends wedding and even MORE AMAZING at my own wedding. I think that may be what has kept me going. Getting worried I won't make my end of the year goal but as long as I keep going and making progress that is OK, and I'm not giving up on that goal yet either, just need to work harder :)
 
Oooh, those are so pretty! I like the contrasting silver and gold on that second one. If only pretty things weren't so pricey :(

You're doing great so far! You're right.. its a SET-BACK, not a failure. The only failure is if you quit, which you have not... and WILL NOT. You will look gorgeous at your friend's wedding and breathtaking at your own. Your soon-to-be hubby won't be able to take his eyes off you and all his buddies will be absolutely jealous that he managed to snag a girl as beautiful as you. :)
 
Hey icy, when shopping for wedding rings, you probably want to keep in mind if they can be resized or not. This is something I learned just recently after losing enough weight to not be able to wear my wedding rings on my ring finger anymore. My two rings can be resized, but unfortunately my husband's can't and he'll be having to buy a new ring after he decides to stop losing weight. Sterling silver can't be resized, and comfort fit gold bands (what my hubby has) can't be resized either :(
 
You're doing your best, which is all the matters! You will get there! I have faith in you!! :)
 
Good to know Belinda! We will definitely have to check into that. Although, that could be my excuse to get a new ring in 5 years :D LOL. But yeah, will definitely have to see about the resizing possibility.

Thanks everyone for the positive posts! Definitely helps keep me going.
 
144 this morning :( Really looking more and more like that 141.5 was a fluctuation and a complete lie :( Getting frustrated with all this. Must work out today and tomorrow! Or I'll be 2 workouts behind on the ISC Challenge. I don't feel very energetic right now, trying to research and call some halls for the wedding and DAMN it's draining me! Especially since I'm trying to do my work as well. Also I'm an idiot and wore booties to work today and forgot my runners at home :( But yesterday I did the workout without and it was OK so hoping today works OK too. Haven't drank any water today either, should really get on that! Wishing it was 5PM so I could pack it up, work out, and leave :(
 
Actually no I didn't eat breakfast this morning, probably why I was so low energy. Felt a little better once I hate food in my stomach. :rolleyes:

Anyways, shutting down a few minutes early so I can setup my workout so do something before leaving. Looking outside at the gloomy rain is not very encouraging right now, making me want to go home, make soup, and snuggle in bed all evening. BUT! I must workout. Even if like yesterday I only get halfway through, it is better than nothing. If I don't push myself I'll end up quitting and that is unacceptable.
 
Updated ISC Workout #4. Disappointing workout but something is better than nothing! Now to figure out whats for dinner.
 
I was at 142 (or was it 141?) this morning, and that was with wet hair :D Been trying to post all day but too busy at work and kept getting distracted so now I forget what the # was, but we will go with 142 with wet hair straight out of the shower. YAY!

Don't feel the greatest right now (starting to think the Crystal Light mix isn't treating my tummy so well :() and while I know I really should do a workout today, I am not going to. I am just so done after work today that I want to go home and relax (or possibly clean). Besides I shipped out 2 orders today so got a workout in setting up/taking down, etc. Maybe not much of one but that's OK. Its after 5pm and I still have to clean up my desk so the cleaners can clean it properly (hasn't been clean in a few weeks now) and need to do my dishes and all that fun stuff too. SO yeah, no workout today. Means I am now 2 workouts behind in the ISC and I need to do 5 workouts next week, this isn't going so well!

Hoping FBIL will run away for a bit over the weekend so I can play Kinect/Wii :) But I doubt it...he is still hooked on GTA5 :p
 
NEW LOW (barely)! 141. YAY! Only 0.5 from last week but better than nothing!

Sadly not sure what the next couple weeks will bring. Today we have Thanksgiving dinner at a friends, next Saturday we have his company outing and I'm sure I will over eat both time, and drink next week if not this. But I will try portion control! And LOTS of water :)

I finally got that Brita water bottle. Will need to make sure I bring it with next weekend (I don't care for tap water). Hopefully there is a fridge in the room, or at least an ice machine on the floor we end up on at the hotel. I like my water cold!

Lots of running around today (vet, banks, possible Scottish shops for wedding related stuff). STILL haven't found a location, but getting together with my MOH and one bridesmaid on Monday and hoping to set up ALL questions I need to ask vendors. This way if they don't answer the phones like last week I can send emails with all the things I need to know. Want to have a date/location by the end of the month so we can figure out our list, start sending invites, and hopefully decrease our list enough to go for a smaller room at the venue if possible. Sadly with how things are now it looks like easily 15-20k for the wedding which is twice what we will have.

Must exercise more next week. Much more. Monday is a holiday so probably won't do anything then, but Tues-Fri I MUST WORKOUT! GAH!!!

On the plus side, A commented yesterday that he thinks I've slimmed down. I've lost my measuring tape so haven't done my measurements.
 
Hey Icy.....I hope you didn't over do it on this long holiday weekend!!! Just think of it as preparation for the comming holidays in a few months.....I haven't been all that good with the workout either I have to retest my pushup and sit ups too...well this is a new week it is up to us to make it a better one!!!
 
Thanks Vero! Didn't eat all day Saturday until Thanksgiving dinner where I ate to much including pumpkin pie. But no weight gain! Probably because I ate nothing the rest of the day.

Yesterday was similar. Ate nothing until about 230 then are half a little Caesar's pizza, crazy bread and chips. Didn't really eat dinner. Playing online games makes you forget to eat LOL.

140 this morning! Let's hope this trend continues!

Going to workout well this week but thinking I will over eat and drink on the weekend as it will be free. Will try not to though.
 
Well so much for that. I managed to eat half a bag of chips :( Normally it's not in the house, but because I had people over yesterday I got a couple bags for snacking on. I had some yesterday and there was 1 bag left today so I brought it to work and ate too much of it. :( Also going to my mom's for dinner tonight so will not be staying to do my workout. I'd do it now but I only have 20mins and might leave early.

So I will not be catching up with my ISC Challenge workouts, but I still have a chance to do 3 this week, let's hope the rest of the week goes better than today! Maybe if the weather is still nice and it's not too late I'll take Winter for a quick walk after I get back home tonight.
 
I had a bad weekend of food intake too so I feel your pain. Try not to beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a new day. Forget about today and start fresh tomorrow. :)
 
Consider this a speed bump, not a stop sign. So you made a few errors in judgement, but guess what... so does everyone else! Its called 'being human' and part of that includes making mistakes. Every day - hell, every breathe you take! - is a new chance; a fresh start! So just take a big, long, deep breathe and say, "I got this."

Because you do. :)
 
Thanks everyone :)
I think I need to stop watching tv. Stupid Dairy Queen commercials. they have a meal deal for $6 for chicken fingers, fries, drink, sundae and I so want for lunch tomorrow. So freaking bad. Trying to put it out of my head but not sure I will resist tomorrow. Either way it's ok and I will ensure I workout. Thinking if I work out in the morning I can eat that and then workout again in the afternoon. Still gonna try resisting because I know it's a step backwards.
 
141 this morning :( Hoping to hit the 130s by Saturday, that would be great! But not sure I will. To keep on schedule I SHOULD be at 135 on Saturday, but that DEFINITELY isn't happening.

Not doing great today. Have these chips still and they are SO good. Doesn't help that they are Salt & Vinegar LOL but that's OK. Not much at work for lunch, probably make a cheese sandwich in the toaster oven. Feeling low energy, need to drink more water and maybe get up and walk around the office a bit so I have energy for a workout after work.
 
OMG... salt and vinegar chips is one of my poisons. I can easily eat a whole bag in one sitting! One "trick" I started doing, which is bad and wasteful, is to just throw the food out. I go through phases where I buy junk food with the intentions of being good (hahaha!), but I eat too much. Eventually I get fed up with myself and just throw it all out. It's a waste of food and money, but at least I'm not eating it! If you don't want to do that you can find someone who'll take it off your hands. :)

Keep strong. Don't give in to that DQ lunch. Dig deep girl! :)
