Mia's diary

Boy oh boy do I miss you guys! My internet is shut off so I don't have everyday access to internet like I used to. Fortunately i had an online test today at school so I wound up in the computer lab. I also found out that I can use it whenever I want as long as we don't play online games and look up porn lol! Knowing this I'll be able to check in on days I have school. Everything is going pretty good on my end. Still working out and watching what I eat. I've lost about 2 more pounds since the 5lb challenge I was in. I need to really kick the activity into high gear. I had a couple of slip ups but since I didn't go overboard I guess they can be called "treats". I go to the grocery store this week and I have decided that...........

The new veggie for November is Asparagus!!!
​
I'm going to buy fresh and canned bucause I'm sure there is a huge difference in taste and texture. Still loving artichokes and I'm looking forward to trying another of the many veggies I've never tasted before. Hey, this is kinda fun. :)
 
Glad you updated us! Was begining to really miss ya girl!
Hope your test went well!
And let us know how you like your veggies!

I swear, not having internet is really cramping my style. I'm so used to checking my email everyday and checking the forum on a daily basis. Now I'm restricted to once or twice a week after school and whenever I can make it to my mom's house. Other than that all is well in Mia's world. I managed to make it through the holiday with my weight undercontrol. I didn't go overboard like i thought I would, my appitite is not as big as it used to be. I've been checking out some new excercise tapes and I found one I'm gonna buy called Turbo Jam. It's a cross between kickboxing and dancing and it looks like fun. I do about 60 crunches a day and work out with my Core ball. I can actually feel some muscle under my layer of belly fat now. I'm so glad to see how much progress everyone is making and I miss being able to talk to everyone like i used to. Trust me, when my internet is back on you guys will be the first to know. lol!

I finally tasted the asperagus(sp?) and I'm not really sure what to make of them. It was by far one of the wierdest things I've ever put in my mouth, and since i eat sushi that really says a lot. Maybe I made them wrong, I dunno. Anywhoo my motivation is through the roof now that I'm back for another weight loss challenge. I went on a 30 minute walk yesterday and I felt great, aside from freezing my buns off of course.

I passed my online test from the other day and not I'm getting myself ready for final exams. My finals are on the 12th and 13th, then I'm done with school until Jan.17th when Spring Semester starts. I'm gonna use that time to workout like mad. I noticed that I can excercise a little longer than I used to. I started off only doing about 15 crunches and now I'm up to 60. Even though I'm still over 200lbs I feel so much better on the inside.
 
I am so glad you are feeling better! Just keep focused and you will lose and keep going! You are doing so great girl!

Aside from some health issues I'd say I'm feeling pretty darn good. I'm getting closer and closer to 200lbs and the day that scale says 199, I'm seriously doing a naked cartwheel. LOL! I haven't been under 200 since I was about 12 years old. To be perfectly honest, I don't remember what it feels like to weigh 1-anything. It will be so nice to not have to lie about my weight on my driver's liscence anymore (mine says 185). Does anyone else do that?

Ahhhh, another year almost gone. I am so proud of my weight loss so far and it will only get better in 2006. 17 pounds since 9/3/05. I have will and motivation like I've never had before and for that I am fortunate. I can go to the fridge and make a healthy decision and even if I don't, I don't beat myself up like I used to. I plan to end the year on a healthy note becaue I have always believed that whatever you're doing when the clock strikes midnight will determine what the next year is gonna be like. So by eating healthy and working out that night, I am setting myself up for a very healthy and rewarding New Year.

My first entry of the new year. Still no internet at home (blah!) and I'm proud to say that I have 21 pounds gone! Still watching what I eat and working out is still a little tricky but I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm really noticing a difference in how I look and feel. I'm getting to a point that my family and friends are starting to notice. Even my ex husband looks at me kinda funny (heh heh heh!). My overall goal is to not spend another summer in a huge T-shirt and those horrible baggy shorts (kulots??). Happy New year everyone!!
 
I can hardly wait until I have my 20 pound goal behind me! Good for you! Doesnt it feel great when others take notice! It seems like just when I think Im stagnating and the pounds are only here and there and oh so slow, that someone will tell me how much better I look.

You wont spend this summer in baggy anything, and neither will I! Youll look MAH velous!
 
I'm baaaaaaaaaack! I finally got internet back in my home and it only took me about 8 months! LOL! So much to tell! Well for starters I've lost a total of 33lbs. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 14 and I have never felt better. I still have a ways to go until my goal weight due to many stumbles and stuff, but I am so happy to be back here where I can do challenges to keep my motivation going and get closer to my goal. I can honestly say that I have missed the friends I've mad on here and I miss the support and love. I just hope to god that I never have to go through 8 months without you guys again.!:)

Wow, I've been gone for a while haven't I? I hope some of my old friends are still around. So much has happened since my last post over a year ago. Well for starters I've been having a lot of health issues that actually started right around the time i joined this forum 2 years ago. I had to have surgery this past June and it turns out that i will need to have a hysterectomy sometime within the next 2 years. There is a lot going on with my uterus (ie: ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pain, wierd periods, etc.). I a;so took a break from school and am working. I really love my job because I don't sit still for very long. I'm constantly walking, running, going up and down stairs and I love every minute of it.

On another positive note I am down to 189 pounds!!! I am 4 pounds away from actually telling the truth on my driver's liscence!! That is definately a first. I am somewhere between a size 14 and a 12, depending on how I want it to fit. I actually tried on high heels the other day and they didn't kill my feet, how cool is that? I hope that all of you are doing great and keeping up the good work. I miss the weekly challenges and the support. :)
