Lindseybot3k's Diary

I've had this particular pair of jeans since ninth grade that I'm in love with....when I first got them they were either too tight or didn't zip, and when my parents put me on my first diet then they got to the point where they were too baggy and I had to wear a belt with them. By tenth grade they got too tight again. I tried them on again back during winter break and could get them on but they were uncomfortable...tried them on again this morning (in fact I'm wearing them right now!) and they are more comfortable and I am thinking about wearing them out!
 
Nine more pounds....nine more pounds.....till I meet my next goal.

This morning I kicked my ass out of bed and went to the gym...ate a good, healthy breakfast (bagel, a little cream cheese, orange slices and a little bit of eggs), went to class...and came back to find out that my french class is canceled once more...this is not at all like the instructor. Oh well...that gives me more time to do other things.
 
........I haven't thought about that, actually! My mom says that if she gets so much money back from her tax returns, she's going to buy me some new clothes...maybe that will be the reward this time? Either that or I'm going to buy me a new bag or something when I go home next week.
 
WOW!! That is so great!! I'm so glad that those pants fit you! I bet you felt great!!! And you still should! Good Luck on the next nine pounds. I bet they will fly off!
 
Spring break killed my diet...I'm currently attempting to get back down to 278/279, and thank god a lot of it was water weight and already gone...I'm trying to keep a sharp eye on everything I eat and I've been taking the long routes to places and the stairs down when I can.

While I was home, I ran into a girl that I graduated with...I was standing behind her in line and for the first few minutes she didn't register that it was me, and the first words out of her mouth were, "You've lost weight," in a...somewhat rude tone. And then she proceeded to ask me how I was doing it, and how much...and then asked me how was school and everything else. Gee, blunt much? I do like to show my achievements but heck, she could have said hi first and then asked me that in a much nicer way.

I'm feeling like a failure at the life thing...I haven't lost a real pound in three weeks, I only went to the gym on Monday and I haven't been eating as well as I should, nor have I been doing the school work I need to be done...and I have yet to make any other good friends. I know I'm being stupid and I have accomplished a lot...I just need someone to give me a good kick in the ass and a way to get rid of bad influences.

:kicks Lindsey in ever shrinking behind:

Pep talk time...

That makes you a failure how exactly?

Second time today I've used this expression...

GET OVER YOURSELF :D

Yesterday is done - you can't change it - you can't go back in time and do what you think you SHOULD have done... You didn't do something - so what... beat yourself wth a wet noodle for 2.5 seconds -throw out the noodle... and eyes forward missy -

Make a list of everything you need to accomplish for school, that's a priority and one by one check off those things on the list
Schedule time to go to the gym, that's a priority for your own piece of mind and to give you some you time... to clear your head.
Make better choices when it comes to food.

Oh yeah and stop SHOULDING on yourself..
 
Okay, so the past few weeks I've been MIA and kicking my ass into shape school work wise, doing what ever I've had to school wise and getting certain social life things in gear (ie, finding new people to hang out with and simply avoiding others). Right now the only things I have to worry about school wise is my geology test which is tomorrow -and I'm studying for it right now as I type this-, my french test/work (the work is done, the test is Friday) and my art paper, which I have another week to write 3 pages for, most of it I can BS in my sleep.

Thus, I can get my ass back to the gym or outside for walks.
 
I learned how to BS in my sleep from high school history classes! lol. Good Luck with school and everything!
 
....Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted in this thing.

So this week is FINALS week....that means I've got to pack, clean my room, study for finals, take finals, and enjoy my last few days here on campus until late August all in a matter of five days...that and watch what I eat and try to take a walk when I can find time between all of that. Luckily, on the food side of things, I should do well because the cafeterias are starting to just throw the stuff they have left together and hand it to us. That'll make it easier to say no to bad things and just eat a salad or a bagel or a PBandJ wheat sandwich.

Oh, and some good news- I think I've managed to get rid of my bad influence! Took a southern belle kind of nasty anonymous note on myspace to do it, but I think she got the point that I don't like her...or at least, I hope so.
 
mmmm peanut butter and jelly :) the perfect food :)

Enjoy your last days at school -study hard - have fun... and all that...

Do you have any big summer plans? Job lined up? Summer classes or just taking it easy?
 
I have finals this week too, but its a little easier for me because I travel to school and live in an inlaw apartment attached to my boyfriend's parents' house.

Studying for finals is a PAIN!!! Good luck, and study hard. Congrats on getting rid of a bad influence!
 
I don't have a job lined up, but I do plan on getting one. As for vacation....well, my mom is trying to get it so we can go to the beach for a few days, and my older brother has asked me to come stay down there for a while. Also, a friend of mine is talking about renting a cabin up north for a few days and us going up there with some friends. So- I've got lots of possibilities to look forward too!

But first I have to pack...tomorrow is my last day here and I have two finals, and I'm moving out of my dorm. I still have clothes all across my room that I need to sort through and throw away some of them that are in really bad shape. When I get home, I'm going to go through them AGAIN and take what doesn't fit me anymore to Goodwill.
 
This time of the year is very hectic! I am looking into the possibilities of a full time job over the summer, plus keeping my part time job that I have now. Because of money issues.

I go up to Maine for 1 week every year to a place that is in the middle of the mountains, so Its peaceful and serene. I like having a break.
 
...it's a good thing I put tags on this thing, or I would have never been able to find it.

Things have been going good lately and I'm pretty much back on track. I'm now done to 272, so hopefully soon I'll be at or under 270. The only thing that hasn't been going well is my search for a job...and I'm already bored to death of hanging around my house and all my exercise options that I have here. I guess it's time to get creative with what I have...
 
I have been meaning to get a second job for the summer because my first one doesn't give me like...ANY hours, and I've been too lazy to do it. Get creative with what you have to exercise with at home. Or get something cheap to add to your equipment. Like... a jump rope or something. Good luck. And you are almost at your next goal!!
 
I've got just a pound or two to go and I've pretty much restarted Sparkpeople to a certain extent...and that would be lovely but I'm pretty stressed out right now. I didn't know I had to reapply for this one scholarship I had, so I'm going to have to take out another student loan...and I have yet to snag a job, which I could really use right now because my mom is starting to get upset with me for borrowing money. A friend invited me to get a hotel room with a bunch of other friends of mine and have a bit of a slumber party, but I don't have the cash and I'm slightly worried that it would cause me to fall off of the wagon yet again. And really- I want to get under 250 by the time I go back to school instead of gaining weight back and having people go "what the hell happened to you?!"
