I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I have a particular part of this old song that I la la too....it's that one with the lyric "loving you is easy cuz you're beautiful" and then she starts la la la la la, la la la la la....I do that part. And by the way, as a non-mom that part about you breastfeeding and it was hurting and you had to take tylenol. I was totally la la la-ing through that!!! LOL!!!

I really stuck to an 1800 calorie diet both days. I also went to see Click which was a cute movie by the way and I didn't get a snack or a drink. I have such a weakness for those Wetzels Pretzels all warm and doughie with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. But I didn't get one. Nope no drink or treats!

GOOD FOR YOU!! Great willpower! *cheers* I dunno if I could have resisted like you did. :)
 
Initial C, momtotwo, :

To be honest I'm not sure how I managed to do it. I think I have been feeling a little bad about myself lately and I have been refusing to dine out or purchase snack items because I can almost hear the clerk saying. Oh she doesn't need that. Oink Oink. Oh that is horrible I know but soon that feeling will pass when I feel a little bit better about myself. I don't always feel like this.

Val: My husband is a junk food junkie which often makes going to the movies without getting a snack difficult. But I told my husband that I didn't want to get anything from the snack bar before we went and suprisingly he said well I won't either. It was a nice suprise which made easier than having to fight nibbling on his snack all through the movie. I like the idea of making him get a snack that you don't like. I will have to remember that one!

Scarlett: LOL sorry about the sore nipple talk. This really isn't the place to get into that stuff. I must say though that breastfeeding isn't like that for everyone. When you decided to or not you may have a totally different experience than I did. At least I would not want anyone to have to go through what I did.
 
Hey Jen! thanks for stopping by my journal.
I have also heard slower is better for your skin so it can "bounce" back, especially if you have a lot to lose. ;) I really hope mine cooperates with me, I've had 2 kids so I'm not sure if my belly will be too willing to do what I'd like :p .
17 pounds is great no matter how long it took! I don't mind if it takes me til next summer to lose this 30 I just want to lose it. :D
 
Reflection

Well I had another good day today. I must be on a roll. We even had pizza today and I didn't go over in my calories. Mind you I was really busy all day and had only consumed a very small amount of calories during the day.

What I liked about today?

It was a beautifuly warm and sunny day. I went to visit a friend and we really enjoyed ourselves.

What I could have changed

I didn't walk again. I didn't drink all of my water. And I didn't do my strength training.

Gee I've got the eating thing down I really really need to work on the exercising thing!!!

Lazyone: No problem I like to pop into journals that I haven't visited before. As for the tummy skin after pregnancy. Oh boy that is one area that for me will never look the same. Uggggg
 
I know what you mean, I got the exercise thing down... but no matter how good I start the day off, dinner usually takes a turn for the worst.:rolleyes:

If you send me good eating vibes I'll be happy to share my exercise vibes with you.
 
Keep it up!

Keep up the good work! I caught up with your 17 pounds. :) I remember thinking when I first signed on here that I could not wait to catch up with some of you on the 200+ club. Woo hoo! Now let's kick off a few more together!
 
I need to work on my exercise too! ;) I always have such good intentions, but it's just so boring. :rolleyes: We will find some form of exercise we like and that will make alot of difference. :D
 
Hi Jenn,
It sounds like you had a really good day :)

For water, I have 3, 24oz sports bottles that I fill every night and put in the fridge. As I drink them during the day, I leave the empty ones on the counter in the kitchen next to my computer, so it's easy for me to see how much I still have left to drink. It's the only thing that's keeping me drinking water!

Well, that and JB's constant reminders ;)

Hey jennifuffa thanks for stopping by my diary, I was going to suggest M2M's method for water drinking but she got in before me.:p

Hope you're having a great weekend and the weather is staying nice for you!;)

Here are the vibes!

Twinmom congrats on the catch up. That puts the pressure on me now to really kick it into high gear! Thanks a lot! (meant in both ways lol)

Jelly: Thanks for droping by. I'm drinking my water and staying positive!

Hypo:

I know I love the feeling I get after exercising but getting there is half the battle. I love swimming and being in the water. However right now I would scare all of the people out of the pool. I'm sure most of the feeling is all in my head but I just don't want to be see in public in a bathing suit this summer. So I guess I'm stuck with the kind of exercise that does not require a visual of cellulite and rolls, oh oh not to mention the blinding white legs. Ugggggg.

M2M

I love the water idea. Thanks for sharing. I think I will head to the dollar store tomorrow to pick up some sports bottles. I think that will really help me. Thank you! Thank you!


Initial C:

Thanks. Yes your right! I can and I will get out of my funk. Thinking positive is the only way I am going to get through this. If I do recall you are a fello Canuk so Happy Canada Day!


Crunchine: Weather is wonderful today which is nice for the fireworks tonight!

Scarlett: Thanks. I hope to enjoy my long weekend. We are starting our bathroom renovations and opted not to go anywhere this weekend. Which means we will not be going down to the Marina for the fireworks but we will be able to see some of them from our backyard.

It won't be the same but we really couldn't go with the baby anyway. He is in bed by eight and waiting until dark for the fireworks which is 11:00pm here is a little to late for the little gaffer.
 
I know what you mean about the bathing suit. I mentioned in my diary that I would like to do water aerobics but have an aversion to wearing bathing suits in public. Now that you've said the same thing, I will let everyone come along and give you an earful as well! Lol! ;)
 
okay

Okay, by popular demand, here is an encore of my message to HH. :D

Here is how I got comfortable wearing a swimsuit in public... First, acknowledge that clothes don't fool anyone. If you are fat naked, you are fat in your clothes. You can be cute in your clothes, but unfortunately, still fat. Second, acknowledge that you are not out to attract anyone. You already have a husband, and you don't need another one. You might not be turning anyone on, but you aren't making anyone barf either, so it's all good. Finally, acknowledge that life is too short to miss out on the fun! There is a lot of fun to be had splashing carefree in the water. You can't do that sitting on the side or hiding under a 15 pound wet shirt in the corner of the pool. Have fun!

I'm going to a water park tomorrow and as I've mentioned elsewhere, walking around an amusement park in a bathing suit is NOT my idea of a good time.

However...twin is right, life is too short to worry about what other people think. There's too much fun to be had!

The point of the matter is you ARE doing something to change your outward appearance, you are making positive changes in your life.

:)
 
Reflection:

"If you're going through hell, keep going. "

Not like any of us are really going through hell but it still applies.

What I liked about the weekend.

I stuck to my 1800 calories. We started renovating our mint green bathroom from the 60's! YIPEE! White fixtures and new ceramic tile!

I was super awesome with my water intake. I drank so much water yesterday I felt like I was always going to the bathroom.

What I didn't like about he weekend.

I didn't exercise as much as I should have. I got my 2nd month fitness CD on friday and I'm not ready to graduate to it yet because I haven't completed the 1st CD. I am going to make a commitment to myself to exercise monday to friday and take the weekends off. That way it will be like a little reward when the weekend arrives.

Part of my problem with the bathing suit thing is that I don't want to run into people that I went to highschool with when I was thin and a size 7-8. Because I am sooooooo far away from those cute little sizes right now and I'm embarassed of what I look like. When I was an 16-18 I didn't have a problem going swimming in public but I'm so far from where I am comfortable that inspite of your gentle proddings I won't put on a swim suit for at least another 20 more lbs. Right now I rather just go swimming at our camp (cottage, cabin etc.) where these things just don't matter.


Twimmom:

Love the comment if your fat naked your fat with clothes on. LMAO. Isn't that true. Like wearing a shirt that is baggy hides the fact that my rolls got a little thicker. I think I will laugh about that one for a while.

M2M:

You are a brave sole. Mind you I did see your pictures that you posted and you look pretty good to me. In fact fantastic. I only hope to be your size some day. Oh but then isn't the grass always greener? I hope you enjoyed yourself. I love water parks and sadly there are none around here to go to. Ha ha not like I would even go right now.

However, Thanks ladies for the suppport! Love a good kick in the but.

Oh Oh and I lost 1lb. Slow and steady wins the race. I got to change my ticker!

How exciting getting your bathroom redone!!!! That's going to mean lots of extra long bubble baths to soak up the new spa-like atmosphere!!

And that's an extra benefit of drinking all that water...you'll be spending so much time in your new bathroom that you'll really get to enjoy all the hard work you put into redoing it!
 
ouch

Ouch! I didn't think much about you living in the same place where you grew up. I forget that happens. :) I am in the same state, but not the same town. And, I was heavy in high school, so there isn't a drastic difference now. I can see where that combination would be really hard for you. Okay, I've got it! You've got to move to another town. :D
