Hi MrVee! Thanks for stopping by. I'm very proud that I'm still on this journey -- even in February.
Did you know that January 21 is apparently the most depressing day of the year? Because people realized then that they've given up on their new year resolutions...hah, not me

30min treadmill, 2.09miles, then 2 minutes cool down at 3.0mph

Positives
+ Not afraid to drink plenty of water, I drink 2 cups of water before I go to bed and I feel pretty good. I wouldn't say belly full bloated hydrated, but just enough not to send hunger signals to my brain.
+ Feeling bad about myself used to cloud my mind. Everything revolved around food or the tire around my belly. No more of either! Now what do I think about? Oh...man, I just might be normal.

For me it's usually February 14, or maybe April 1 when I realized I'm surrounded by easily amused morons. Or maybe it's today when I realize how judgmental I am.Hi MrVee! Thanks for stopping by. I'm very proud that I'm still on this journey -- even in February.

Anyhow keep up the good efforts and remember there's no 'I' in the word quit. Actually there is. There is also a 'u', so you watch out for that while I will do the same.

LOL, good one MrVee. Hahaha that's pretty cute! I'll watch for it. I feel successful when I wake up in the morning, how cool is that? Success from the moment I open my eyes!
Tue: Love session with my treadmill. Might be rated R with the grunting. Mute button is broke.
191.8-192.4 Wed: Yoga at 6:30pm. Been awhile and I get itchy wanting to drive my car. Not driving for a few days saves gas and increases seconds in my life, but I have an urge to drive! So, yoga after work.
190.8-191.8 Thur: Run again
189.8 Fri: Going to eat at a fancy smancy Italian restaurant that took over an old Bank of America building with my fun girlfriends, 7 of us...Two things I love: Historical Architecture, to appreciate, and well-reviewed (thanks Yelp) Italian food. Oh, the girlies are fun too....but c'mon, I'll have deliciously prepared seafood in front of me! hopefully the bread will be fresh from the oven, orgasmic in my mouth!
I must just be allergic to gluten, so getting that Squid Ink Pasta gluten free! I'm so excited to eat, drink, and be merry...solo!

Snack: 2oz pork roast, parsnip, kale, 300cal
Lunch: 1/2 roast beef sandwich w/o mayo and smoked cheddar(i just don't eat the other bread, so technically a double meat roast beef), 1/2 cup baked beans, 1/2 cup potato salad, 700cal

Calories: 1,350, 13cups of water
Exercise
90min Bikram Yoga
+Went to Bikram
+Participated and survived Bikram

+Made the "right" choice for lunch - was hungry - didn't want to eat fast food, so I went to a local barbeque place - laid off the other side of wheat - no mayo - only ate half of the potato salad - brought back half the baked beans
- came home and weighed 194.6 after bikram, lunch was heavy, haven't BM'd in 2 days, expecting 192 tomorrow. The weight gain is from the lunch and not BMing. I hope I poo tomorrow!

I mean my self control went out right when a car pulled up behind me in the drive thru. I enjoyed bringing home food and eating it in front of my computer while watching the latest episode of The Office. Does that make me a fat ass? probably...but there was some comfort in that.

Whew, total refeed. I feel like I relaxed, doing what I'm comfortable doing. Eating while watching shows on my laptop. Lame possibly, but I'm comfortable doing this.
Anyways, I'm back tomorrow. I just took these past few days off, of course I'm not going to step anywhere near the scale. I made my bed, did some cleaning of my room. I feel better and clearer. Got some paperwork errands taken care of. So, I'm feeling a bit more in control.
A clean room and a sharp to do list is the only way to keep Laura sane.
BTW, my name is Laura, not lauree. LauraLee07 was taken when I set up my yahoo account in 2005. So it stuck.
