Miss Ladybugs Diary

SHIAT!! I just spent ten minutes posting my food and exercise and DANG IT, when I try to post it, it said I wasn't logged in, SOOOOOO I'm not going to go through the whole thing again, I'm just going to log my Totals for the day below:

Calorie Totals: 1850

Workout yesterday:
1 Hour of Body Jam- 325 Calories burned
35 minutes on Elliptical at Level 7= 400 Calories burned

I'm really burning those calories this week, I hope my scale shows me mercy!! But I have a feeling It probably won't, I think I'm firming up again, and exchanging fat for muscle, I like this time, but still my pounds on the scale don't show it, so then I don't get any points for the weight loss challenge and that SUCKS!! Inches should count too. LOL LOL:nopity:

Wow! You two are very impressive. That takes a lot of guts to do what you both did. I have never been very good at making money--I just haven't found anything that I'm really good at--except being a smart ass. Plus, I'm scared to death of failing. It sucks. :banghead::banghead: I think I would've left my H months ago if that weren't the situation. I think I need to get my ass in gear, but I just feel like I don't know where to begin. Ok, I'm about to cry, and I'm at my office, so that's NOT good! Ahh. At my current job, I work a lot and don't get paid much. It can be very stressful at times--like today. There's always a problem, one after another. Ok, I'll stop whining now. That's another thing I'm good at--too bad I can't be a professional whiner. :D

MLB is right. The "last straw" is different for everyone. Just be thankful you don't have kids to care for. There is absolutely NOTHING holding you back. NOTHING no matter how much you try to think so. Go back to school or get certified in something. You need to find something to make you feel empowered. You have lost over 50lbs, that should be enough to make yourself feel like a fucking ROCKSTAR. Divorce can be hell but it can also be a blessing. Trust me. :) You are smart and beautiful and are successful in my book. A dollar amount doesn't decide that so fuck how much you get paid. You are awesome!
 
Geez, you are friggin amazing. I'd kill to have your energy!! I'm sure the weight will be down this week. You'll be at your goal by the new year.

My H and I are started to get hooked on LIFE too. We don't have much time to watch tv unless it's late and the baby's sleeping. We have a week's worth of shows DVR'd that we need to watch. Too much to do in too little time!!
 
You know what sucks more than anything??? When you meet terrific people who you would LOVE to help out, but they live so far away, it just PISSES ME OFF!! I'm sitting here thinking to myself, I love my job, I love my H, I love my family and there is someone out there who needs that too, who deserve to have all that, and who I wish I could make things better for, CRAP, let me hit the lottery today, OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a special few people in mind, I would give to today, after of course I quit my job and buy some plane tickets. LOL LOL I'M SERIOUS PEOPLE, I WOULD!! I talk about it to my H all the time, we buy a lotto ticket a week, for the kicks of it, but if I were to win a huge amount of stash, I would invest some of course!! Pay off bills like everyone else out there, and instead of buying a great car or a new huge home, I would pay for college for my sons, pay off my sisters house, and give her money to put in savings, buy my mom a small little cottage on a small lot, and take care of the homeless and poor families in town, And then I would take a few trips to some states like CA, TX, NY, MI, AR and pick you all up and take you out for a weekend of massive fun, and then give you all ONE DREAM ITEM of your choice, and if money was better, I would offer that instead. Okay, that's my DAY DREAM FOR THE DAY~~~~ ahhhh, that would be something wouldn't it.............
:driving:
Oh I guess we would all pack up on me and go to another country as we have a LOT of friends on here that Don't live in the US, so we can't forget about them... NO WAY!! plus, I've never been to England, Italy, Germany or Ireland, it's darn time!!

Ha! Me and my H do the same thing! I would want to help out everybody I know. My big dream is to build a facility that takes homeless people off the street, educates them and teaches them life skills to become happy and productive adults. Wouldn't that be awesome!!

I wish we all could meet in one place, like a WLF conference or something. That would be so much fun and I'd finally get to meet everyone in person.
 
Me amazing, not really I work out 4 days a week, Not like Sheryl and her amazing 6 days a week, I don't know how they do that. You know what I really want is to put on my slacks some morning and have them fall down to my ankles, that's what I want, I'm sick and tired of wearing these same damn slacks to work every week, I want to go out and buy me some new ones, but until I'm down another size I'm not going shopping, I think all my upper body is shrinking currently, as right under my breast area it's starting to look sunk in, I wish I could say the same thing for just right below the belly button, that's where I would really like it to shrink in. LOL LOL I'm quite sure that will be the last place to go. GO FIGURE! It's a good thing I wear skirts to work at least 4 days a week, I love that because then I can wear my "Hooker Boots" LOL LOL that's what my kids call them, because they are leather and have a high heel on them, everyone wears them, so I'm not sure why they call them that. I mean GEEZ at least they don't go all the way up my thigh for crying out loud, they are just regular up to your knee boots, I just shake my head, it's funny!
 
I'd love to wear hooker boots but my calves are too big. Even when I was thin I had muscular 16 inch calves. Knee boots would never zip up over them. Boohiss!!

I think the tummy is always the last place to go. Especially after kids.

You know I have some girlfriends who have large calves and they have some of those boots, I'll have to find out where they found them, as I know they do make them for women with large calves, trust me, before I lost 20 lbs they were snug on mine too, but just in the past few weeks, I notice I have to keep pulling them up, I guess I've lost a little in that area, weird to lose on your calf. I'm cold often as they keep our office quite chilly, so I prefer wearing boots over regular heels, and I don't look good in Flats at all, my legs look weird or maybe it's just me.

Today, I'm wearing Black Slacks with white pin stripe and slightly flared leg, and black ankle boots. Thin Black long sleeve sweater shirt, has a cute little tie right under the boob area that you can pull to gather up, it's cute on the edge of the bottom and edge of the end of sleeves it has a cute crochet rim around it, I have a burgundy one too.

Ooh! I love pin striped slacks. Very slimming. My favorite pair are brown with burgundy and tan pin stripes. I think they're Dockers. I need to go boot shopping. Kohl's is having a 55% off sale this weekend so I think I'll hit that. I'm addicted to boots from Warrens but they are so expensive that I only get one pair a year to get my "fix". I too have slacks that are way to baggy, I am wearing them today actually. I need to go shopping but I want to lose more weight first. I have lost tons of inches this past year even though I've only lost 12lbs. These slacks look silly one me, they are bunched up from the belt. I am wearing a white button-down oxford with a burgundy checkered v-neck sweater over it. It's long enough to cover up the bunched up part at least. The saggy butt just can't be helped though. Ha!
 
I LOVE KOHLS!! I get there MVC coupons in the mail to, so sometimes I get their regular in store discounts and 30% on top of that, NOW THAT'S a bargain. OH YEAH!!

I have the exact same issue, BAGGY ASS SYNDROME! Even in my current favorite jeans, I'm losing around my upper thigh and butt so it looks like I either have flat ass, or a load in my pants. I have a size smaller, but then I have a wedgie, UGGG!! This Middle phase sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good to know someone else is rowing in my boat. HUGS!!! it's all good! at least the muffin top is about gone!

I have to get going, i need to get some work done, I'll fly back by in a few hours.
 
Thanks Twin, Amy, Sheryl, Claudia and anyone else I might've missed. You are all so sweet and wonderful. I sat here crying as I read all the nice things you all wrote about me. :)

I will get through this. I dug myself a pretty big hole over the past 7 years, and I've been trying to get out of it for almost a year now. Losing the weight is part of it, and dealing with the current financial and marital state is the other. Doing ok with the weightloss, but the other two are proving harder to climb out of..lol. :banghead:
 
I also have huge very muscular calves, always had. So no knee high boots for me either. I'm starting to think Amy's my twin!

I have big, muscular calves, too--even when I'm not huge..lol. I've wanted hooker boots for years, but unless I get them custom made, it's probably never gonna happen. :( Big-calved girls unite!! :smilielol5:
 
Hi ya Sneeker-Poo!

:hug2:

Have A Happy & Goal Reachin' Thursday!

Is it chilly up there?

Our cold front came in lastnight.

I sure wish a season would be picked and the weather would sit still...lol

Gettin' on my nerves.

You need to take some pics of you in those cute outfits! ;)
 
I do need to take some pics and really SOON!! My H and I took a snap shot with eachother at the wine/cheese event a few weeks ago, It turned out super cute, but shoot I wonder if I can get a copy, it was taken off someone elses camera. SHIAT!
 
UH OH SPAGHETTI O'S I'm in trouble. Mike brought in some Shortbread cookies and put them in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy. You know those cookies that come in that gorgeous Tin, and some of them are partly covered in chocolate and some fully in chocolate, OH BOY!!!! I had 3 OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to double it up at the gym tonight, I'm sure they are at least 100 calories per cookie, they have got to be, because I like them to much. :smilielol5::drool5:

Had to share that, I rarely have cookies, so it's actually pretty funny! I like to eat shortbread cookies with hot tea. MMMMMMM
 
Okay, this isn't the same brand of cookie, but it's the same type, so it should be close. I was off a bit on the calories, AND THANK GOSH!

Cookies, Fudge Striped Shortbread [SnackWell's Carb Well: 9 net carbs]
2 cookies, 0.85 oz=24 g
