Kaitie's Open Diary

Hey mate just thought I would drop in and take your nuts off you and kick your backside all the way to the gym;) …P.S stay out of the fish bowl :D
 
LOL T2!

Well it was a bad scale day for John. He was 449 two weeks ago and today he was 451. He was mighty upset. I weighed in at 171.5 so no change from the home scale but at least it wasn't a gain! I woke up with my shoulders and neck really, really stiff--hurts like heck! Probably from lifting all my scrapbooking stuff yesterday, very heavy!

I didn't eat lunch yesterday at my sisters house and ever since I've been feeling really weird---like weird like before I lost weight and ate bad food weird. I don't like this feeling.
 
Wow Katie only 12.5 more to go! I hope you get to feeling better, and that John has a better couple of weeks.
 
Good luck Kaitie!

Also, I like your avatar shoes too. Awesome. :)

Edit (I had your diary open for a while and didn't realize you posted.)

Yes, at least it wasn't a gain. If its staying the same then its a good thing, just remember that. Maybe you should try doing more exercise than usual or something.

Have a good weekend. :)

Ok, it has been a crappy weekend. (lol) So, Saturday was the day from hell...anything that could go wrong did go wrong. John backed into my car and broke off the side mirror (grr) and then later that day I was trying to park in the city and scratched the crap out of his truck. (double grr) and sad news for John...he gained two pounds since his last weigh in 2 weeks ago. See...that's why I obsessively weigh myself every freakin' day. 2 weeks went by and he had no clue that he wasn't losing anything, so to me that's just two weeks wasted! If he had checked earlier he could have adjusted and modified but he doesn't see it that way. Anyway, I'm down to an even 170, so that's good. 11 more pounds until I meet my Christmas goal. I can't wait to be down to the 150's, I want skinny clothes--well, skinnier clothes. :) I'm still waiting for this one pair of pants I bought in the beginning of October to fit me right, they are petites so I'm thinking that I need to be around 165 for me to finally feel comfortable in them...hopefully I'll get to wear them soon. I think a part of me is scared to wear them, I don't know why--I like the pants. Sometimes I really feel like I'm losing weight and sometimes I feel like my gut still looks really huge, maybe its just my perspective. I know it's gotten smaller because I can actually see areas of my body that at one time were only rumored to be there. :) I guess I'm just a little impatient. So hopefully with some exercise today and tomorrow I can break into the 160's. That'd be happy news. Ok, it's Monday...Mondays are always long so I'd better go...bye!
 
One-seven-Ooooooh !!

Nice job Kaitiebeans !!

No cyber valiums needed here today, maybe some champagne tho !!

You're having an incredible run Kaitie, keep up the good work ;)

I feel this way too. :( My pants are lose, but everything looks the same size. I've just stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I'll surprise myself one day and take a good look, but for now...that mirror is on ignore.

Here's wishing you a good day, so you can see a 6 in those numbers tomorrow!!!
 
Thanks everyone!

Today was ok, very busy. My car cost $200 to fix...it was dumb--the fuel injectors got flooded because I started and stopped the car to quickly. Flippin' weird and the only thing the mechanic guy said was 'nissan's are picky' Yeah that's great.

Exercises for today:
4 miles on the bike (112 calories)
60 sit-ups (my shoulder is still a little sore)
30 leg lifts
30 calve presses
40 abductions
30 adductions

Here's hoping for 169.5 tomorrow or Wednesday. *crosses fingers*
 
Another long day with my annoying collegue. Holy heck she's freakin' annoying.

Exercises for the day:

7 miles on the bike (200 calories)
105 sit-ups
60 rotary torsos
30 lower back
10 chest presses (my shoulders still hurting:()

I did see one of my old students at the gym today so that was cool, probably the only thing I liked about my old school was the students so running into them at least gives me a little bit of happiness from an otherwise hellish job.
 
lol sucks about the cars :/

About the knowing you've lost weight and seeing it, it takes time. I think its got to be the most frustrating part of weight loss. you can loose lots of lb but not see it, and then not loose any lb and suddenly you see it.
Having done it for 5-6 months now im finally having people notice that ive lost some (lol thats how fat i was .. they only just noticed now)
 
Mornin Kaitie!! You are doing great with your weight loss!!! Tell John we are all rooting for him, and want him to keep going!! Sorry about your car.
 
Amen Wishy - I can relate.

My first 40 lbs no one noticed and that was the time I most wanted someone, anyone to notice. I guess a 370 man vs a 330 man isn't really that noticeable so that was just another log on my fire to keep pushin'.

I really don't get the full impact of my own loss without looking at a side-by-side pic, and even now in the privacy of my own home I still remain critical of myself in acquiring a 'decent bod' - not to be confused with 'beating myself up', just knowing there is still work to be done.

I think you look great Kaitie and probably one thing we don't see is how your body must be toning up with your incredible routine. Just think how awesome you're gonna be next short season ?? That should put a grin on your face :)

Speaking of side-by-sides, you ready to post one ?? I know we are :)
