Llamabean's Last 26.6

Yeah it makes it so much easier when the portions are done ahead of time, more expensive but makes life easier! So I think it's worth it too!

amen sister!! lol
Hi Ashley:) Glad to hear you had a good day and your weight stayed the same:) I know that feeling when you jump on the scale all excited because you have lost recently and want to see the next lowest number... it will come soon:) It always does!! You are doing great! Keep up the good work and focus!
 
So I fell asleep on the couch at work just a few minutes ago. Two of the pastors were in the office and one of them yelled out at me. When I didn't respond they came out to see that I had indeed fallen asleep.

So - they both got these beach balls we have for the youth group games and positioned themselves facing the couch, yelled, and threw the balls at me.

I woke up with a start and yelled back "AHHHH!!!!!!!"

I'm never going to live this down...
 
ooooh the scenario that my twisted mind just cam eup with :) llama in a threesome with balls :)

I am soo going to hell :)

You were tired -you needed your rest.. :) throwing ballsat you isn't a nice way to wakey ou up - you put you hand ina bowl of warm water and freeze youor bra - don't they know anything :D
 
Mal - now I know why your title is the dirty old lady, lol. That's awesome! lol

Poor you Llama... hopefully they don't bring it up too often!
 
Oh mal. Your humor never gets old. :)

I realized as I was rereading my little "they woke me up" story that I did not do it justice. "woke up with a start" should be read as "woke up and flailed around in a pathetic attempt to defend myself from my apparent attackers" and "yelled back" should be read as "screamed aloud as I flailed for much longer than you would think I probably should have"

They totally should have video tapped that! That would have been hilarious to see :p

Good job for getting back on track by the way!
 
Well 177.2 today.

I kind of worry myself sometimes. Like, I'll be all gung ho when I wake up and then by breakfast I have already lost my resolve. These past couple of months I have been just obsessing about food. I'll get an image in my mind like a twix or ice cream or cinnamon roll and just not stop thinking about it until I get one.

On monday I was tempted to get a bean burrito at the taqueria. I resisted until Wednesday when I didn't just get a burrito for lunch, I got one for dinner as well. But what the heck?! Usually when I get a craving it passes when I resist it. But this is a perfect example of a multiple day craving that just keeps going until I fulfill it.

But - in better news, I've been weight training and it's really paying off. My weights are going up on all the machines and I'm proud. Yesterday I saw a GUY have to lower the weight after I got off the machine :)


I'm still losing weight, but slowly. Increased muscle may be part of my deal too. I've been doing less sustained cardio in favor of the weights.

And - so long as I am lower today than I was on this day last month I will claim this as a success.
 
First of all, I'm SO glad you're liking the weight training! It really does pay off! When we lose the weight, we'll be sexxy toned, WOO!

Anyways, I can completely understand about food cravings. If I'm craving something bad I just keep thinking about it over and over until it either goes away (usually by me getting to sleep and forgetting about it the next day, lol) or I just eat it. I've been resisting getting a blizzard for days now, ever since I heard about the new kit kat blizzard, damn do I love kit kats... and blizzards, it's really making me want one. I'll want one for so long, and I'll forget about it, then it comes back into my mind. I might get one tom on my cheat day, however, I hate a horrible supper (huge lasagna portion and cheesy garlic fingers, and a piece of garlic toast!!) so I don't deserve a blizzard tom! LOL

I completely understand about the whole resolve thing! I'll feel awesome and have all these exercise plans and then an hour will pass and gone! So just know that you're not the only one that's having those problems (cravings, losing resolve) or feeling that way. You'll get through it, I'll get through it, and everyone else will get through whatever it is they're going through :) It'll take time sometimes, some days will be good, some days won't, the trick is to get right back on track!
 
Risty is right on with her wonderful advice. You aren't the only one and cravings are hard to get through but you can do it! The weight lifting sounds awsome!! You are going to be so toned! I hope your weekends going well!
 
So I did OK resisting on Friday and then blew it on Saturday. But I've done some thinking over everything and am ready to really do this thing.

Last december was about 4 months from starting my diet and I blew the entire month. I ended the month higher than I started it and was really discouraged. But, I decided that I could either do this thing and lose the weight or not. I was frustrated that I had an extra 5 lbs to lose that I had already lost, but I figured it out and got back on track. Now we're about 4 months from that point as well and I'm feeling the same way. So I'm going to grit my teeth - regret the last month wasted and do this thing!

I'm going to start spending time in the gym without my friends. I haven't been doing that lately and it's not doing me any good. I'm converting some TV over to my ipod so I'll have something to watch. Getting back in the swing of things!
 
Good for you! I think you wouldn't be human if you weren't going through different phases like that. Every once in a while I think everyone will hit a time where they plateau for a while or get discouraged and lose track for a while. The important thing is to remember your goal and why you want it and then get right back on track. I'm glad you're getting back on track, so don't focus on the last month, just focus on the things you're going to do this coming month to change it :D Which... it already looks like you have some plans for that! So good luck on those plans, you can definately do this!
 
When the people call weight loss a "journey" they are right. It is something that will stay with us forever! The fact that you got distracted from your goal isn't a big deal (though I know it feels like it!). The big deal is that you are back and ready to keep on. You have done very well and accomplished so much!! So here you are ready to start again and we are here to cheer you on:) I hope you have had a good week!!! Just take a deep breath. You will get there!
 
Hey everybody!

I've been gone a while! I've had a lot of stuff happening. We have a new pastor, so that means new boss for me.

I've been doing really well these last couple of days. I found fresh corn for the first time this year in the store, so I've been eating nearly nothing but corn and salad this weekend.

Getting back on a fresh food kick will be good for me. I did lose weight doing soups and frozen foods and such, but you can just eat so many more fresh foods for the same caloric intake.

I still haven't gotten back on track with my exercise, but the food issues is really where I needed to start anyway.

I'm jazzed again.
 
Oh yah, I also meant to get advice from ya'll on an upcomming event. This Friday the church youth group is having a lock-in that I will be helping to supervise. There is going to be endless pizza and a BUNCH of other junk food.

How do I resist? I have a full kitchen and my normal work food snacks, but I just know that i"ll eat so much pizza and be back where I started this week.

Help!
 
Bring some low cal snacks and food for you to eat. Something tasty you really like so you won't feel so deprived. And if you must have a piece of pizza because you are feeling deprived... then have it but then make up for it somehow... eat perfectly the next day. Just make sure you have other stuff to eat because even with indulging in one piece it will be hard to not eat more if your mouth is occupied... at least that is what works for me:)
 
Thanks for the advice. Since I work here I can load up the fridge with good food. Hopefully I"ll be too busy playing games to notice that I really want the food.

I'm doing so great right now. 174.0, a new low. It's nothing like Mishi - but I guess our little weight loss race has been definitely decided ;-)

I'm moving apartments soon and will have an outdoor storage area for my bike. I'm going to get it fixed up and start riding it to school (across the street). I'm going to save $300 in parking next year by biking across the street rather than getting a parking pass.

I also want to try to bike to work, but the summer is just too hot to try, and in the fall I'll be too busy. Maybe I can make it like a friday thing or something.

We are working to rearrange our church leadership structure so that I may not have to do council meetings anymore, which means I can schedule maybe a fitness class on monday nights now! I'm going to look at my community college and see what they have.
