Jen's Diary: To 180 or Below...and Maintenance!

Thanks, Vero! :)

I was 184.6 this morning. Losing weight during TOM? Is it possible? I think my scales are just messing with me. lol!

Ended up going out to lunch, tried to be good though, and had just a half a turkey sandwich and a small salad. Not sure what the calories were though. I hate that. Grr.

I realized yesterday that I have to go shopping for new shirts. Like, really HAVE to..lol. It's way too warm now to wear my hoodie, and all my shirts look like they are falling off of me. The slightest wrong move and everyone gets a show, if you know what I mean..lol. So, it's time to break down and spend some money.

Enjoy your shopping trip! Skinny people problems.

I wanted to tell you that I get the auras too. I also do not get migraines. For me it starts out with curved blinders at the edge of my vision made of lots of tiny swirling psychedelic cheese doodles. Sometimes it stays that way and goes away, but other times it gradually spreads and takes up more of my field of vision. Sometimes I'm left with just pinholes of focus. The cheese doodles seem to move slow and fast at the same time.

Ahh, yes that all sounds familiar, especially the moving slow and fast at the same time part. It's so weird. My one eye always feels weird after too, like there's pressure behind it or something. I ended up getting a second one last night. I got it while I was at the store, and ended up having to hang around until it went away, because I couldn't drive like that. Aren't they just so much fun?! I love them! lol!
 
Enjoy the wonderfully alliterative shirt shopping. Do they sell any shirts of a material other than flannel up in that part of Michigan?
 
Yay for losing weight during TOM and making it INTO the 184's (ya, not the same as hitting 184.0 but still good!) I also need some new clothes (my riding pants are a good 3 inches too big on me!) but I really need to be saving up money so my current clothes will have to do till I hit my goal weight or I simply CAN NOT wear them anymore.
 
OMG!! You lost weight during tom? that calls for celebration!!! :party:
well done!! Happy clothes shopping! Jealous!! :)

ps/ flying to MI today for a wedding this weekend - I hope the weather is sunny!! :D
 
I was back up to 185 this morning, ladies. It was just a cruel, cruel joke by my scale..lol! Oh well. I won't have access to my scales tomorrow morning, so that's also going to be my official weigh-in for the week. Maybe I should just change it to Fridays? I don't know. I'm happy with it anyway... at least I didn't gain anything this week.

Mystic- A lot of my clothes are at the point that I just can't wear them anymore, mostly just my shirts though. I picked up a couple new ones so far. Probably see if I can find a couple more this weekend.

Justina- Not sure what part of Michigan you're heading to, but it's about 60 and partly cloudy here. Have fun at the wedding!
 
:( Keep at it! I know I tell people this a LOT, but no matter how far away your goal seems you gotta keep pushing on. Those numbers will drop, so don't get too upset about your weight. My weight has been stuck between 173-171 for the past few weeks, it's frustrating, but I know eventually I will drop into the 60s. :)
 
Thanks, Fox! :)

Men are not my favorite gender at the moment. Just a forewarning to the few that visit my diary. You might want to just click the back button right now. lol. Uuuuuugh... Seriously, they say such stupid things without even thinking. In their defense it might not be ALL of them, but I think it's a fairly good chunk. My lovely other half said something incredibly stupid last night. Like the kind of thing that makes you think..."did he really just say that to me?!... was his brain removed?....would he like to be punched in the face?... hmmm.. clearly he never wants me to touch his penis EVER again!" HAHA! I've never seen a person back-pedal so fast. Grrrrrr... Men.

Aaaanyways... up until that it was a pretty fun weekend. We hung out Friday night, and went to the roller derby last night. Food was bad.. like really bad. Gonna start fresh tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day! Thank goodness. :)

To be fair, they've never been mine, either. But we are the only gender I have any success not sounding like a gibbering idiot when talking to, so we all probably need to be cut some slack; speech is not our strong point. We're aces at opening pickle jars though.

I'll give you that one. lol.


Today is a new day, and it's back on track for me. I'm spending the morning working, and also disputing a bill with the doctor's office. Fun stuff! I also feel like someone's drilling a hole through my face. Which is just lovely. Stupid sinuses. The weather is beautiful though, so that's a plus.

Oh, and luckily were not living here much longer, otherwise I would have a new nemesis. My previous nemesis was the raccoon that loved tearing the lids off my trash cans, ripping the bags to shreds, and then leaving a trail of garbage out to the woods. I almost miss him compared to the new little guy that has taken over the yard. So what is the new guy, you ask?

A mole!.....Aren't they cute?! Could definitely use a manicure though.

He's dug so many tunnels, and has so many piles of dirt, that I'm pretty sure the lawn is just going to collapse one day.. lol. Destructive ugly little creatures they are!

OH,... 14 days til my birthday and I get to see Star Trek into Darkness. Yeeeeeeeeeah...can't wait! Yeah, I'm a dork. :D

Ok... time to stop babbling, and get back to work. Hope everyone has a great week! :)

Hey Jen - nice photo!! Moving is defo coming at the right time then!
Your birthday plan sounds great (for my husband - lol)

Have a great day!
 
Having moles sucks. They have softer fur than any fluffly little bunny though. Crazy "things shouldn't be this soft" soft. Have a good week!
 
Ship the mole to me! I love moles! I've never seen one before, apart from photos and on nature shows. I would call him Mr Velvetskie and he would be my squishy.

You can have Mr. Velvetskie, but you have to come get him! I'm calling him that from now on, by the way. Too cute. lmao!

Well today is another day. Calories were not the best yesterday, around 1800. I ended up having a rather large bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was delicious, but definitely put me over on my calories. Today will be better. I have lots of work to do to keep me busy. It kind of sucks, but it's also a good thing.

Saw this quote on Pinterest... "Today is another chance. Make yourself proud!" That is what I will be doing. :)
 
:grouphug: I want to squish him so badly.

Maaaan, now I want ice cream. Never mind about eating 1800, that's still pretty good and one day wont do any harm :) Hope you have a great day xx
