Lukewarm's Weight Loss Diary

lukewarm said:
Ok my goals for today:
-Hit the beach & wear SPF 50
-Pair a protein with every meal
-Complete all of my lifts properly/rest only the allotted time in between
-4.0 L H20
-Register for fall semster online
-Call the restaurant about my next training day since they haven't bothered to call me.
-Don't weigh in.

I'm not supposed to weigh-in until Sunday, and I also can't take measurements until then, so I'm going to be patient and not sweat the scale. Yesterday was a great spin class though, I'm one of the 'regulars' now, it's so funny that I don't feel intimidated in the gym any longer. You know that black and white tank I wear for my progress photos? I saw a girl at the gym wearing the same one and it looked so nice on her, as in her lovehandles didn't throw off the shape of the shirt :rotflmao: can't wait until I wear something like that to the gym. I wear big baggy grey tshirts right now. I look manly. ;) lol anyways I hope you all have a nice day. I'm going to try and brown up a bit today.

nice list there, especially the No1 on the list. i wanted to go to the beach today, but the weather is not so good.
i also became a "regular" at my gym, girls that workout there and my instructors all notice when i don't come and ask me million questions when i do: where i was, why didn't come to workout etc. really funny. i remember how i used to shake before i would enter the gym. i am still the biggest one there but that doesn't bother me. i know it actually helped some overweight girls come join that gym since they would see me and wouldn't feel so awckward anymore.

Whiley I know what you mean! I don't belong anywhere near a swimsuit at the moment but I must get a little color. Besides I always find it so relaxing to listen to the water and ignore everything else. Just gotta find a super secluded spot. I will try and enjoy it for ya ;)

i'm 207 and i wear a two piece swim suit. it actually looks better on me that the 1 piece swim suit. and i go the most public beach there is. i go by the saying. sure everybody looks at you once, comment a bit and then they forget lol :) most of my friends said it actually looks good on me and how surprised they are that i have less cellulite then they do. finally i have something less on my body hahaha
 
Since talking about it here, i decided to be a brave bunny and post my before photos. I hate them, and they were sitting in my recycle bin, but i think its healthy for me to acknowledge them, put them here as proof so i know they exist, and work towards photos i feel good about!

Cheers guys for popping it in my mind, i already feel like a sparkly new mission!
 
oh the swimsuit...

I wish I wish... :D my sister has a 2 piece, and i have this picture of a swimsuit that I really want to wear. it's this cute little light blue bakini...*sighs wistfully*

I'll wear it, you'll see. :D it just might take some time though.

Have a great day Sara! You'll be in the 150's in no time! You're doing so well, you'll catch up to me in weight lost really soon! hmmm competition! Now i have to really kick it in gear! :D!
 
Have a great beach day! Enjoy that secluded spot...but I admit I'm hoping you'll spend a little time strolling along the sand - just struttin your stuff as well....
 
Sara, I do the same thing at the gym, I wear cute capri workout pants, But then cover it all up with a huge baggy tshirt, UGGG, I can't wait to shrink down a size so I can start buying some of that cute workout gear, they have some Great stuff in the stores now. Your pictures are gorgeous, I can imagine myself out there on that beach. AHHHHHH, that would be nice right about now!! And I need to set the record straight here, you call me a workout women, look at your workouts, DAMN!! Your doing a great job!! You can keep up with me just fine, I'm sure of that.!! Enjoy your day today!

I know how you feel because I used to bulge in my tanks, and now sometimes I'm surprised about my waistline--yeah it's not "perfect" but it looks pretty good and I was used to chubbiness for years.

I love that you're enthusiastic about this all, and that Leigh is helping you out!!!!!!!!
 
Hey, good job on your weight loss, that's awesome!!! I unfortunately gained a few pounds so I bounced back up, but at least I'm still 50+ pounds weight loss :p I better not go up any bloody higher though!

How's the food scale thingy going? Do you use it often? I almost bought one at one point, but I didn't know if I'd even use it enough, so I didn't bother, lol.

So, did you post pictures on here? With what I read it sounded like you did but I searched through and didn't see them. So can you please post me which page they're on? Thanks!
 
Hey Sara (I still like calling you Luke), hope your day at the beach was grand. Kim is right, you are working out like a nutbar too! Good on ya! I posted a response to you in my diary but wanted to post this link in your diary too. It's a singer called Paolo Nutini:
Let me know what you think. He's only 19 and from Scotland.

Have a great Thursday, Beautiful.
 
Lena Your confidence and willingness to help out others is powerful, you’re a great person ;)

Whiley I love your before pictures woman, I can’t imagine how great you’re going to look when you reach your goal!

Xorie I agree, you’ll be wearing the baby blue bikini soon enough. Keep at it. I bought a gold suit that is pretty tiny, won’t wear it until I’m at my goal weight.

Cym aw thanks ;) I just might do that today! It really was beautiful out! Do you live by the beach or are you more central fla?

Kim I know what you mean! I love some of the cute stuff I see other girls wearing at the gym, soon Kim we’ll be wearing whatever we want ;)

Val Thank you so much, I’m trying very hard to remain enthusiastic. I can’t wait to see your new pictures ;)

Risty yes I love my scale, I no longer guess, but I had to get a digital one because I never trust my estimates. You didn’t gain much at all, don’t sweat it ;) Page 43.

Trusylver Thanks woman, it means a lot comin from you!

Anna I love Paolo Nutini! Thanks for the link! You have such great taste ;) Also I wanted to say, I’ve never heard the phrase ‘good on ya/you’ until this forum. Is it a Canada thang?
 
Thanks guys for all of your support, I wanted badly to eat everything in sight yesterday, I am really stupidly hungry lately. So yesterday I didn’t make my water intake. I did go to the beach, it totally drained me in the way that an afternoon in the sun sucks your energy away. It was nice however! I am going again this afternoon; I’m late on the summer tan ;) I had a lovely day though. I feel as though everything is in order before I leave in a few weeks, and I won’t have to stress before I start my next semester of school in August. I've gotta make sure I get in a really good workout at spinning tonight, I just know I haven't lost weight. ANYWAYS I'm not trying to be negative at all. Rather I'm trying to be realistic about my weigh-in on Sunday. Have a beautiful day everyone, I've got lots to do this morning.

Ahhhhh the beach, you are so lucky, I wish I was close enough to walk to one first off, and secondly I wish it was sunny enough for a day to enjoy laying out. At least somebody out there is enjoy beach time, it's summer somewhere. HAHAHAHA Your doing great on keeping up with your spinning classes, I'm very proud of you!! Keep on spinning my friend.:) :jump:

Hiya

I haven't been to the beach in so long. I haven't let my chubby legs see the light of day until recently. I'm going on a cruise and I'm sure I'm going to be burnt to a crisp. Have a great day and don't forget your sunblock!:D
 
Good morning Luke... or should I call you Sara:) lol Just thought I would pop by and catch up. I noticed your ticker and for some odd reason just noticed the 22 lbs down!! You have done such a great job! It is neat you are working with Leigh. I was contemplating online training but I am poor these days *big sigh*. The teachers curse I guess;) You are so lucky to be near a beach! One of my goals this summer was to at least look at a beach but I haven't been able to go any farther than Texas and vacation time is running out!! The pics you posted were beautiful! People say don't sweat the scale all the time to me and I totally understand how hard it is not to sweat it!!! You are doing well by not weighing yourself everyday! Something I still do and won't stop dangit!:p he he he. Have a wonderful day at the beach! You are doing so well:) take care!
 
I'd love to go to the beach and bask in the sun. Its a perfect energy draining activity. I do miss the warm coastal waters.... Up here our beach consists of giant pillars of rock, some pebbly coastline, and water so freezing its not a good idea to swim in. But the weather is nice! Hahaha...

Good luck on your spinning class. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at your weigh-in.
 
I was telling healthy habit, when she asked about why it's so hard to lose weight, that our bodies cue us to be "stupidly hungry" when we have deficits, because our bodies are efficient, superior, energy-storing machines! :doh: Not necessary these days what with no famines in sight for Santa Cruz....
