Imaninjadangit's Weight loss Spectacular!

He sent me a huge apology text this morning. At lunch, he asked if he could sleep in the bed tonight. lol He also said he wants to watch a romantic comedy with me tonight. hahaha He's so cute.
 
Just did Dance Central again. I did my last song on medium. omg...:svengo: It nearly killed me! haha I just wasn't expecting so much movement. lol I feel great, though.
Tomorrow morning, I have a meeting at work. I'm going to bike there, weather permitting. Every time I plan on biking, it rains. I'm beginning to think I moved to Seattle! :biggrinjester:
 
Your boyfriend sounds like a lot like mine in that respect. I wouldn't make him sleep on the couch, but that kind of comment does make me cry, and he more than punishes himself with that (as I say, he made me cry in October, and he's still beating himself over that- me, I'm over it). That, and the junk food. Yegods. He's actually not losing weight and needs to more than I do, but he's got such an unhealthy relationship to food (even now after I've cut off most of his Pepsi- he used to drink at least 3 cans and sometimes 6 a day, now he drinks a couple on his boys' nights and I allow him one or two when he works nights- and he no longer eats three meals a day of convenience food/ take out).

And well done on that exercise :D It's always hard to push it up a notch.
 
He was drinking up to 12 cans a day before we started dating. He ended up losing 50lbs in the first few months of being with me. lol
Honestly, I was going to go get him off of the couch, but my daughter woke up with a nightmare and asked to sleep with me. :(
He's a super great guy, though. I couldn't ask for better. :)

And thank you! I try to push myself a little more every time. I love it!
 
Naw your bf sounds like a cutie, even with the comment!

Congrats on the extra 2lb lost! You're doing a fantastic job! Keep up the excellent work hun, and you'll be seeing the weight drip off of you in no time! Congrats on the dance central. I still haven't done any exercise, and I'm not looking forward to it at all... how do you keep yourself so motivated to do it?
 
I workout because it feels awesome. I don't do anything I don't want to do. That's not saying that I don't push myself. I just do enjoyable things.
Right now, it's Dance Central. I work up a sweat, get my heart pumping, and have fun.

I seems to be working, too. I lost another pound today! I've lost 4 pounds in 4 days! I'm eating all of my calories, and I'm exercising! I even had Taco Bell the other night.
:party::party::party:
 
Last year, I bought a Green Lantern Tshirt. It was an XL, even though I wore 2X. I still thought it might fit, because it looked a little roomy. I was so wrong. It was skin tight, and very uncomfortable. It stayed tucked away in my closet until yesterday. I put it in my shirt drawer, thinking that I would be able to wear it in a month or so. This morning, I decided to give it a try. I'm wearing it right now. :D It's actually LOOSE. When I put it on, and it fit, I actually cried. I never cry. Ever. It finally hit me that this isn't a fluke. I'm not losing water weight. I'm not yo-yo'ing. I'm losing weight. I'm getting skinny. It's so surreal! I'm doing it without pills or fad dieting. I'm not starving...well, MOST of the time. lol I'm not depriving myself. Yes, it is super hard. There are times I want to pig out on junk food. There are times I am seriously upset that I can't eat without watching my calories. I know, though, that this is just right now. It's getting easier to eat and know the calories in the food. I will still continue using my calorie counting app, because it holds me accountable. I am just learning what I can and can't eat. Once I get to goal, I won't have to worry so much. I'll know what portions I can eat. I'll know that I can eat junk food one day, as long as my diet is healthy the rest of the time. I'll know that I can't have a double cheeseburger, large fry, large coke, and then a whole pizza for dinner. Knowing how many calories I was consuming, and how I was hurting myself just makes me want to go back in time and slap myself. :banghead:
I'm also finding it hard not to try to coach all of my friends. I see my overweight friends trying diet pills and crash diets...and failing miserably. I want to say, "Just eat healthy, exercise, and don't give up!" I don't, though. I know it's something you have to come to realize yourself.

I am just so proud of myself. I'm more proud of myself than I ever have been. :D
 
I'm not sure whether to thank you or apologise! But seriously, you work so hard, perform so consistently, and maintain quite a lot of positivity against what seems to me to be quite difficult odds. I really admire that. And it really shows what can be done in this sort of journey.
 
Thank you. :)
I try to convey that the weight loss isn't easy, either. So many people want it to be easy, but it's not. I think succeeding in the hard work is what makes me want to do it even more.
The past few mornings, when I go to weigh myself, I mentally prepare myself. I say, "Okay, Robyn. You worked hard, but it's okay if the scale doesn't move. Even if it goes up a pound, that's okay. I know that it could be water weight, or more muscle." Then, when I've seen another pound come off, I just giggle. lol What's odd is that it's not, like, .6 lost. It's an even pound. I was 270, then 269, and so on. So bizarre.

My May challenge was to be 267 by the 31st. I wanted to be out of the 270's by my 30th birthday on June 8th. I've accomplished both! It would be amazing to lop off another 6 pounds by then, but I'm not going to push for it. My goal is to not gain. Though, I told my boyfriend this morning that when I get into the 250's, I'm going to freak. I haven't been there in 5 years. I said that I will totally be in the zone after that.
He also said that he was really proud of me this morning. He's such a great guy. :D
 
Another day of Dance Central! I feel totally awesome! I also walked a mile this morning, without stopping to take a break. I can feel my body getting stronger!

I started a vlog on YouTube. I don't know if I can post a link here, so I'm going to set it as my webpage on my profile. If any of you watch it, please excuse the rambling and the hair. Oh, and the flannel sheet on my window. I have to sleep during the day, so I needed something heavy to keep the light out. lol
 
i just watched your video! YOU HAVE THE SWEETEST VOICE EVER!! I look forward to your future vlogs!? make it a weekly thing, maybe?!

6 pounds by june 8?! I think you can TOTALLY do it! go girl go!
