If You Fail Try Again...

First pic is day one(dont mind the mess in the backround, it was taken in the office at work), Second pic is right now....would of taken a full body shot but my webcam doesnt have self timer apparently. Maybe after tomorrow night if people take pics while we're out Ill post some. Happy New Year Everyone!


Now I just gotta hit Submit instead of Preview....ugghhhh so scared!!!!!

Ok ok if your seeing it then I guess I hit Submit and didnt delete it yet :)
 
ASHLEY! You are so beautiful. It looks like you lost more then 24 pounds, though.

Knock em dead tonight. Happy New Year! :party:
 
Well actually I got the kiss from the prospect I wanted the most...but it was at 1am :) I kissed my friend Erin at mindnight cuz that was our pact. If no boys were there to kiss we'd kiss eachother. :) Went home from the bar bout 4:30am...bars here can stay open all day and night they just need to close for 1 hour to clean. Then ugh yea Prospect kinda stayed over and watched movies and such, didnt go to bed til 9am but I couldnt sleep cuz he's a human heater....so all in all it was a great new years with very little drama :) hope all of yours was the same! Time to go to bed now. Night!
 
Ashley, glad to hear you got the double kissing in on New Years. Adding your girlfriend to the mix made it that much hotter. :biggrinjester: That's one lucky prospect. :sifone:
 
Ashley! You go girl! I got a few different kisses in too, which is cool with me :) Hope you had a fantastic weekend!
 
Hey guys. Its been a busy week hadnt had time to even look at my computer. My sleeping has been working its self out and Im usually in bed by round midnight, except for last night cuz I was up reading and watching movies. Works really crazy right now. Lots of holiday parties/birthdays/baby showers that I get to make all of the food for of course so Im putting in alot of hours at work. Im eating good but not exercising much. My weight is flucuating alot day to day which I know is water weight but its weird to go from 205 one day to 210 the next knowing I did nothing wrong. And I cant blame them on the time of the month cuz well yea I have pills that regulate all that. So I dont know...maybe stress causes water retention??
Speaking of holiday parties though tomorrow is mine for work. So that will be fun. We get 3 free drinks and raffles for prizes....and our other restaurant (an Italian restaurant) is catering it...so lots of pastas and garlic bread...along with catered in desserts... Yea tomorrow I shall indulge..alittle bit. Tomorrow I also get my highlights from hitting my 1/4 goal. And apparently my landlord called and said im getting my bathroom and hallway painted, but the painter still hasnt called to let me know what time he's coming. So tonight I am still going to clear everything out in hopes of him showing up, but hopefully not too early. I cant even hear my doorbell from my bedroom so it wont matter anyways unless he calls. Ahh yes and weigh in is tomorrow. Im dreading cuz of what i mentioned earlier. I think maybe Ill get off here and go clean out the bathroom and then throw in my Carmen Electra DVD or hop on my elliptical. I really dont want to go back outside tonight.

Well thats it for the update. Hope you all had a great weekend.
 
Hey guys so I'm down 1lb this week. Pretty good for thinkin I wasnt gonna lose anything. The party was awesome, I was extremely hung over for work this morning. As was everyone else. Im pretty sure Im done with Prospect, he's too complicated for what Im lookin for right now.
As for other news Im really glad I have tomorrow off(even though I have to go in to do the food order) cuz its supposed to be a high of -5 all week. Yea! I LOVE THIS STATE! Not! I hate cold sooo much. Lets get a group together and go visit my family in Hawaii :) Speaking of family I just want to put out there that my dad called me today and said that his wifes mother will probably be passing on tonight. The doctors dont expect her to make it though the evening. Im not sure what is wrong with her, he didnt say but please pray for her to go quickly and painlessly if this is to happen.
 
Hey everyone!!! Updates for you all on whats new....
1.) I WON MY BIGGEST LOSER COMPETITION!!! :party: Whoooo Hooo! In 3 months I lost 28lbs which I guess worked out to 13.86%. Im quite proud but I know it could of been more if I would go to the gym more regularly. I was hoping to get under 200 for my final week but I'm at 202 right now... sooo close!!! I have til the end of March to reach 192 which is my half-way goal. So now time to start workin on that since the competition is over at work.
2.) Other news...no new boys sadly... I need to find one...I am now offiically the only single person in my group of friends. This is irritating more than anything else.
3.) I start DJing at a bar on Thursday!
And yea thats bout all cuz I lead a boring life :)
Talk to you all soon.
 
Once again since February I have re-gained all the weight I had lost(28lbs), I am back to 230lbs. Why do I do this to myself?! Why don't I keep going after I get so far? I found a picture of myself today from my sisters wedding and I serisouly was like...wow. So today it starts...I'm done. I need this weight off for good. I finally want to be happy and content with what I weigh. This site is the only thing that keeps me on track so I don't know why I don't keep coming here everyday. You guys are the only people that truly keep me accountable. So starting tomorrow morning I'll be once again recording everything I eat and drink. Thats my biggest thing, being accountable for every calorie that I consume....and go hit the gym! I can eat as healthy and I want, but if I don't add exercise to it I don't lose an ounce. I hear they got some new machines since I was last there... So that should make it alittle more fun. I wish I was one of those people that could get addicted to going to the gym. Ok ok enough rambling! Today a new me begins... AGAIN!
 
Ok, on the right track...after I posted I got my butt out of bed and went to the gym for an hour and a half. I did walking on the treadmill as a warm up and cool down and then did the stationary bike. After the gym I went to the grocery store to stock up on my healthy food.

Post-workout snack:
1/4 C Bear Naked Banana Nut Granola- 140
1 Banana- 72
4oz Plain Yogurt- 70
Total- 282

I'm gonna have to up my food intake a bit. I was alittle hungry going to bed lastnight. Trying to hit 1200-1500 daily. I also bought Whey Protein Powder today for a post workout drink. Just to see if I can get some results out of it, never have used these products before.
 
Glad you made it back! Sorry to hear you gained your weight back. I'm like you and I lose 30 pounds to gain it back, to lose it again. This is the last time I'm going to lose it and it's going to be gone for good! Isn't it crazy how easy it is to gain it back but to lose it takes so much time and effort. I hear you on needing to exercise to lose weight and not just eating healthy - I'm the exact same way. For me in order to see the results I have to exercise morning and night and lately I just can't get out of bed in the morning to make it happen. I'll be checking back to see how your doing. Hang in there.:waving:

Hi Cabbie :) Missed you too, I'm glad to see that your doing great!!

Will update my menu later, I've misplaced my notebook that I write everything down in for now. It hasn't changed from the last few days.
I've realized I'm gonna only be able to do my workouts Sun-Thurs cuz this weekend proved to me that if I work doubles there is no way I have energy after work to go to the gym.(I work 7 days a week now) But still eatin good and I'm still on track.
TTYL
 
Ok so I'm not gonna lie.. Had a burger and fries today. And to be honest I loved every bite of it. In the last year I haven't liked burgers or chicken so when I crave some I usually give in.

Anyways, my food was all over the place today..no set "lunch" or "snack"....

1 Cheeseburger- 300
1 Small Fries- 231

3 c Watermelon- 137
1/4 c Cottage Cheese- 40

Hey Ashley, back in after a strange weekend. I had some bad stuff too, so I'll be the last one togive you any crap over a burger..., and it looks like you still came in pretty low on your calories so no harm done.
 
Hey everyone! Hittin the gym is startin to feel great... I don't know what it is about breakin a sweat feels like I'm actually getting something done. BUT.. its startin to take alot to talk myself into actually getting to the gym. I keep going..."no im tired"...but once I get there im glad I went...its just the gettin there...does that make any sense? lol. I just need to make it a habit of going to the gym, having the mindset like its a doctors appoinment I can't miss or something.

Eatin is still under control, havin lots of fruits and veggies.
Today at work I had another half or a watermelon and one of my cooks was like "Your eating watermelon AGAIN??" I was like "Why wouldn't I? Its in season! I'm not going to be able to get it up here in the artic much longer! :)"

Off topic, got de-virginized today in the waxing sense. :) Got my brows done for the first time... I actually like it alot. I thought it would hurt more than it did but it pretty much just felt like she was ripping a piece of duct tape off my face lol. And not a single person noticed until I pointed it out to them... but I have extremely light brows to begin with so whatev.

Also one of my fav actors..Patrick Swayze died today...soo sad. So in celebration of his life I watched To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar ...LOVE THAT MOVIE! :) ok ok enough, love you all and will talk to you all tomorrow!
