I could have sworn I wrote an entry a few days ago and it disappeared....
Anyways, I am scared to check the scale because I have a feeling I have gained back a bit- and I am scared of being disappointed....ugh. Oh well...tomorrow I'm having a small get together at my place and there will be junk food...but maybe I can set aside a small salad and something healthy for myself. Either that or eat in moderation.
I have not had time to go to the gym this week- it's just been crazy, things at work have gotten crazier, and I find myself having to stay longer...or my mind is in 10 places at the same time. I'm hoping to find some time to go on Sunday. I really need to. I can feel the flab. I try walking as much as I can. yesterday I opted for a 15 minute walk instead of taking the bus- I can do small things like that but I am craving hitting the elliptical. Can't wait till it gets warmer, that'll definitely motivate me to walk to the gym.
I am also thinking of stepping up my part-time job search. I had an interview at some place today, but realistically it was too far away and not as ttc accessible as I would have liked it to be- bus service stops at 7:30 pm!!
So...I didn't go.... but I am hoping to find something by next month! Wish me luck!

Hey Misty!
I hate when I can feel the extra flab. Sometimes it can just be in your head, but there are times I know I have gained really bad and I can feel the pockets of extra fat .. I hate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But girly! You are awesome! And you WILL lose this weight! So no worries there! Keep trecking hun ... You can do this!!

Okay, have gained back a lb or two.
The game plan is 10 lbs loss in the short term- the short term being the next 2-3 months. It's not an unrealistic goal. It's just a matter of how much I want it. I find that I do have some time next week to step up my exercise- more because work has cut back my hours (those b*stards! lol)
Also, I have a tiny crush at work- so there's my 2% motivation, lol. It's kinda sad- he's skinnier than I am. I look like his mom. Okay, maybe not his mom, maybe his older sister.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday I plan to hit the gym. If I can, the Thurs and the Friday as well- but that depends on my on-call situation.
NatJo- mwah! Thanks for the motivation, love ya! I'll comment in your diary later this week.

You can do this! Feel it! Believe it! I believe it! and know you can do it! Keep trecking hun

I'm back at 121lbs + water weight due to period. sigh.
We had our winter storm this week and the days leading up to it were terribly cold, which just made going to the gym drop down to option #300.
BUT seeing as I gained weight I am determined to lose it. So, I am back on the bandwagon! I'm so unhappy with myself at this weight. Chubby cheeks. Ugh. Anyhoo, let's see how this month progresses. Back to healthy food choices and trying to be regular with the gym. I just have to push myself- I don't understand what else I can do.
As for the new crush Nat, since you asked, he's not the office hottie- but has a great personality and he's kinda cute. We're not going out or anything, we just talk often- I know he likes me but I don't know how much....shall let you know how this progresses!! Stay tuned!

Okay, enough is enough! Time to start this up again. I tried on one of my summer tops yesterday and I looked absolutely horrible! Bulges everywhere! Ugh!
The weather is going to begin warming up in April/May and I neeeeeed my clothes to fit! Plus, a healthy diet will mean slower aging, fewer health problems, and a great hair.
I currently stand at 120-121 lbs. My short term goal is to get down to 110 lbs. I've got my ticker going. Back to the basics.

Hiya Misty,
Your like diary is on my second page. lol I couldn't find it, but I have found you...
How is the office going? with the hot personality in swing..
and you will lose this weight hun, if you don't meet those goals...don't be too upset ... even if you lose .5 oz by the end of February ..its still a loss ..you are getting thinner than you were, at this rate I am losing .5 oz to 1 pound a week and I know eventually I will hit a plateau ..but hopefully none too soon ..
Well I hope you are doing well hun ...

You will lose it. Its only one pounds from where you were. You can do this hun ... I think its a matter of finding a schedule to pattern out, because you are working so hard and what not. Life can drive you over the edge sometimes ...
exercise gives you energy and it makes you tired so you sleep better. It also set off endorphins .. which make you feel good and relax you ...
They say most women cut out exercise during the week, because they are too stressed, when actually if they took a ten to twenty minute walk they would be less stressed. You can clear your head and calm your thoughts down by walking ... sometimes I feel like I am walking on air ...lol ...
its all good ... All I know is I feel good when I walk, I walk outside and tomorrow I will be walking through rain to go to the Boston M of Science ..and I will be eating lunch with my sister in the city .. I am so psyched ...
Finding time for exercise can be so hard, but even twenty on the treadmill or even on the street can do a lot of good for your heart and body ...
best wishes hun
I know you can do this!!

I don't understand why something bad has to happen to me, or why I have to get into trouble, or get into a place where I don't want to be and THEN it strikes me, things have to change. I always seem to want to change when the breaking point has been reached. Yesterday, before I went to bed, I realized: I have to change.
I had my reality check yesterday. Not just in terms of weight, in terms of everything. My life in general. But my weight would definitely make me a happier person. And the funny thing is I keep thinking of weight loss as this impossible feat sometimes, when it's not. I see people on this forum lose lbs. I've lost lbs. I'm in a much better place than I was last time this year. Doing much better. But not there quite yet.
The goal is to get my weight down to 118 lbs by the end of March- reasonable. And to get my driving license by April. And to get a car by whenever I can afford one- hopefully before summer.
I'm going to start up my food journal again, and start eating more leafy greens. More healthy choices- just like I did when I started this weight loss commitment.

Hey Misty!!
I have a few suggestion and need to make inquiries...
I am happy you had an epiphany ..sometimes those are the best things to have ...
You can do this hun I want to tell you that what happens when you are closer to your goal is you start reaching plateaus every few pounds, I have no idea how I am going to deal with it myself. I am losing weight the way I am because I have a lot of weight to lose and am larger , much larger than you or most peeps on the forum ... so u know ..even in the two hundred club thread .. I am much larger than everyone else .. I am only in line with Pink Clouds which is at 273 .. I am at 277.6 because I have worked very hard to get here. I have been slacking ..but Tomorrow I am going for a serious work out ..a new walking route and I hope it gets me lower ..
but anyway back to you .. I personally think you have hit a plateau and usually the girls in the onederland stage need to shake up their diet or exercise .. do some more ..eat a little less ..maybe eat something different ..maybe cut back on sodium ..dont drink as much ..etc ..there are so many women on here and they are all having the difficulty you are .. you might want to check out some of their diaries ..or they actually have a one hundred club thread ... where peeps go to talk ..chat ..joke around ... they are inspiration peeps and I think thats what you need ..some help along the way ..some encouragement .. you can do this! I believe in you ..we all believe in you!!
So keep trecking and just shake up the routine ..
You can make these changes and you will see results ..but dont make your goal 118 by the end of March .keep yourself open to other goals ..maybe 121 or 120 ... you may only lose one pounds this month .. I have months like that when I hit a plateau like you have, and you know what keeps me going ..the peeps on this forum .. so give em a try ..swing into the one hundred thread .. say hi . ..introduce yourself ...
best wishes hun
I will check back more frequently

Super glad spring is back and summer is going to roll in soon. The plan is to lose another 20 lbs like I did last year. The winter set me back, but I feel if I put in the same amount of effort I put in last time, I should be able to do it
Back on track for another 20lbs to come off!!

Hey Nat,
Truth be told, I have been lacking motivation as well. Summer, however, is going to be brutal. Because I know I'm going to see stuff I like and not fit into it well.
I have decided to set the 30 minute walking goal for everyday. At least getting out and walking a good 30-45 minutes like I did last summer. I can feel the chub coming back on my cheeks.....plus I doubt my new crush would like me much more heavier.....
Keep going Nat! Don't give up! You're my inspiration, you can't let me and yourself down!!! Pump up the beat and walk, walk, walk!

I've started up with the gym again and have been watching what I eat. I'm at 120.8 lbs at the moment. It's nice that people at work have noticed that I am less chubby than last year. However, I am nowhere near where I want to be- still have flabs of fat- arms and tummy and shoulders...and thighs...just about everywhere.
I find goal-setting works for me. I' going to try and bring myself down to 118/119 lbs this week. If I can bring myself down to 117 lbs this month's end I'll be happy.
Working towards another successful summer- won\t be easy but if I did it last year I can do it again.

I feel a bit heartbroken. Actually I think I feel a tiny bit numb- I cried for one and a half hrs last night, lol, so the numbness set in today. The guy I am quasi-dating basicaly told me yesterday that he found me cute but he's not "totally infatuated" or anything. So...when a guy tells you he's not head over heels for you but still likes you...I guess that means that he's no more than a friend. Only...to me....he's a bit more than a "friend". I'm just bracing myself for the " i-think-we-should-just-be-friends" line anytime now.
That killed m night yesterday. I slept a grand total of 4 hrs. But there are always more fish in the sea I suppose *sigh* Anyways, the gym has this "bootcamp" thing going on- a bit out of my price range but something I am considering. Going to shoot for 4 miles on the eliptical today. Wish me luck. I need it.
