My Story

LOL

my dad said that i should of known all this stuff because it is my generation....i was like "why the hell do they have a flower symbol?!" what does that mean!

I know!!

In their generation, I'm pretty sure it meant "Peace, Love and Crack." I'm sure there were THOUSANDS of flower symbols flying around Woodstock...lol

Maybe it means all your pics will come out scented...haha
 
Hubby and I are going out to dinner and we will do what we have come to do in the last 2 months when eating out.. share a meal. I'm so excited about this steak. yummm.

Hi Rae

Just calling in to wish you a happy Valentine's Day. Although the popcorn and movie sound good - a meal with Trevor has it's advantages (he can cook and wash up you know!) Lets face it - he knows about healthy food too!

(Margaret just cannot help playing cupid)

I love your photos. You have made such a dramatic change - and you actually look like you are at goal already you look so slim and good. You have every right to feel very proud of your achievement.

Speaking for the older generation - I have to say that I cannot work cameras either. I leave things like that to hubby to sort out.

Take care
Love
Margaret

That's right, I am! This day is getting me confused...lol! And I bet you can, Trev. Not only that, I hear you're neat...that's a hugely attractive quality, my friend.
 
What a great transformation! Excellent job on getting healthy. Hopefully the confidence will follow in hot pursuit.
 
Well done on your progress so far and good luck in future

Tiny bit late but happy v. day too!
 
I'm emotionally exhausted right now. I had to talk to a really good friend about something really important, and I've been dreading it. Thankfully, it wasn't nearly as hard as I'd anticipated and he didn't end up resenting me for telling him the truth. I'm hoping my talking to him will knock some sense into his over-testosteroned head. This predicament has taken up the past four hours of my life. Thank God, it's over. Overall, everything turned out for the better. I'm still his friend and he's still mine.

Overall though, I have a pretty good day to report.

I've only eaten about 1250 cal today all together. My limit is 1700, so I'd say I'm doing a good job. I'll eat an apple and maybe some grapes later. I really, really want to excerize, but I'm not feeling my treadmill calling right now. I have a basketball game tomorrow and I'm considering if it would be smart for me to run tonight. I don't want to be physically exhausted during my game because I over-exerted myself tonight. I usually run at nine, so I've another hour to ponder what I'm going to do...

As far as my personal life is concerned, my boys did come over tonight. They get here and my bro is a no-show so they decide they're going to hang with me until he arrives. I care for them so much, my boys. They're made of awesome and I can't imagine not knowing them at this point. That being said, no, I'm not shopping for a husband, I like hanging with males because- in my personal experience-they're not nearly as critical and judgemental as hanging with women. All guys care about is who's gonna pay for the pizza, not who's got the best hair or the prettiest features. I like that about them. I'm more comfortable in a room full of men than I am in a room full of women. I feel as though I'm being judged less, and men are more apt to talk to me, given they want a female's perspective on this or that. I like this part of my life.
 
Update on tonight...

Bads news first...my com crashed. I went to get some water, and I come back, and it's blaring a blue screen saying it has a disk error. So until Saturday when my friend can come to fix it, I'll be sporadically signing in on my mom's, sis's or dad's computers. Thank God I still have some way to connect to the internet. LOL.

On the upside, I just got done running/jogging off 630 calories. After my technical malfunction, I needed to allieviate my frustration. I ate a bowl of cereal and oatmeal before my workout, and I have more energy than I could imagine. Since I started eating carbs fifteen minutes before I run, I have stamina like a pro athlete. Tonight, I could have run for two more miles but given my caloric intake for the day was only in the 1700's, I didn't want to burn off too much. I hate having hunger pains in the middle of the night.

I might have a handful of grapes or a couple carrots before I call it a night though....

OH!! And MORE great news, I'm now 157, exactly!! That's..3 pounds down from Sunday!! I'm SO EXCITED!!

Love to you all!!
 
Congratulations on 157! :party:

Those final pounds are racing down for you.

Sorry about the computer crash.

You dont need to be shopping for a husband to enjoy a bit of romance in your life. I seem to remember enjoying investigating that whole issue at your age.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Thanks Marg, and Ang....you guys know you're the best! (((big hugs)))

For this morning already, I feel awesome. I always seem to feel ten times better in the morning when I've ran at night. When I first wake, I always stretch as well or my limbs are as tight as J.Lo's pants.

I just had a bowl of cereal and now I'm drinking my daliy allowance of coffee. As much as I've tried, I can't live without the stuff. I may need two cups today because I chatted with Trevor till one in the morning. We have too much fun, he and I. We were both dead tired last night but we needed the company, especially yesterday. Personally, I have no problem being single on February 14th, but last night these boards were dead and I was in desperate need of socialization.

So to sum up this morning, I'm in an extremely good mood, my coffee is delicious and I've ate roughly 270 cals for breakfast. All in all, it's shaping up to be a really good day.

My music today is emo. I'm switching between Jack's Mannequin and One Republic. For those of us emotionally challenged, these two bands speak to our very soul. Truth be told, if I don't have my MP3 player, I can't run. It's just not the same.

Oh and...my dad is a sweetie. He bought me a sports cuff for my portable device. He got it on sale for five bucks, 'twas thirty. He was more excited than I was I think. He says to me..."Isn't this what you need? For when you run?" He's such a sweetie, always thinking about and supporting me. So now, thanks to the most wonderful man on earth, I can now wear my MP3 player on my arm. Needless to say, I can't help but feel pretty fashionable when I'm on my treadmill. LOL.

I hope all of you are having as great a morning as I seem to be. Much love to you all!! ((big hugs))

Thank you Margaret! That means alot!

Lol...you little vixen ;)

You know, I suppose if I wasn't so focused on myself I'd give it more consideration, but the way I see it, if I'm not completly happy with myself and who I am, I can't concentrate and wholly give myself over to anyone else. Cause that's the kinda girl I am. If I'm going to be in a relationship, I'm going to put my whole heart and soul into it. I don't feel like I can do that at this particular point in time.

Who knows though, maybe if I find that special someone, I'll think differently. Given I'll be 19 in five months, I'd say that time's come around. Haha.

I hope you're having a good morning!!
 
well done on he new low!!!! :hurray: 3lbs already is great!

have a good day - good luck with the game!

;)

(((Big Hugs))) Thank you Ang!! You're made of awesome!

I keep looking at the red dress in your avatar thinking, "One day, you and I are going to fit into a dress JUST like that and we're going to knock dead the opposite sex." :smilielol5:

Your avvie is inspiration enough for me. I absolutely love it!
