nataliejo's diary: Moving, flowing, grooving forward... change is coming...

Hey there! Oooo you're seeing Peter again this weekend? Do fill us in on how it goes!! Hope it goes incredibly. :)

I really like the creativity of your exercise. It's so neat! Between the videos, the stairs, the dancing and the walking you are definitely not a routine kind of gal! I like that too because having options in exercise makes it enjoyable and something you would WANT to do then instead of something you HAVE to do. :)
 
:seeya:Hi, Doll!
Good on ya for all your exercising lately! Wow, you are cruising! Love the stairs idea - it is an AWESOME workout in so many ways! I am envious that you have so many peeps in your life who like to walk and hike with you. DH has nooo interest in anything physical. Well, that's not quite true - there is ONE exercise he doesn't mind too much :blush5: tee hee

Keep up the great work! hope the scale reflects it well for you.

cheers

Well Heather, I am so looking forward to Peter. I am so stoked lol

but I am also stoked because my mom took a pic of me today and I am looking pretty darn good in my new shirts. I actually this I look sexy, and maybe even as hot as Peter sees me. I wish I could post pics, but the damn thing always tells me my pics are too big, u know. I have one when I was 320, 292, and now 274 ...but I cant get them on there. Hmm I will have to try again! lol or maybe I will wait until I am at 265 or 255... 255 would be down another twenty pounds ... I will post soon ... I will even post in my bathing suit if I must!! lol that should be a kick .. I will still be a size 24 in a bathing suit, but by next Summer I will be in a size 20 bathing suit. This weight loss thing is well worth it hun!!:hurray::hurray::hurray:

Hey you,
Glad to see you!! I have been meaning to stop in your diary again!

Well I am hoping the scale reflects a loss on my April 2 pounds week challenge. and I have this feeling it will.. I just came back from a 70 minute walks .. I think it was anyway, at least 60 minutes. So I am stoked ..

and that too bad that he wont go on walks with you. I am lucky about that, but I usually end up going alone, which is nice, because usually having someone with me, makes me talk and I slow down. I like to think, reflect, listen to the trees sway and the limbs make noise when the wind goes through them ..its nice ... I dont mind walking alone lol

well ttylater hun

Hello Everyone! I did a 60-70 minute walk today!! Whoot Whoot! I did my new route and it was absolutely beautiful!! Better than my old route, which was getting extremely boring! So I did it! I am so happy I did it!

I have been like playing with the whole new route thing, change, trying a new route, taking another step and now I am excited, because this scale going down will rock!! And I will keep rocking at it until it goes down to 200 pounds and I was thinking I might go below 200 .. I am going to see how I feel at 200, whether I think I have chipped enough away from my hourglass figure. ITs one its way back!! Got a long way to go till I cut out the fat curves and reveal under all this the curvacious curves, but the revealing is starting I have pics, but the site always says there too big>?

Does anyone know how to put pics up?
I dont do websites ..they come from my computer, any idea folks?

I may not put a pic up until I am down another ten pounds. I will getting a bathing suit pic but I dont know if I am brave enough to post it lmao ...

but I am picking up a new bathing suit in May, yea!! But it will mostly likely be a 24, but I dont care anymore, because I was busting out of the size 24s last year, they didnt fit right, My stomach could be seen. I was disappointed in myself last year!! lol but .. I am back in my size 24, I will be pleasantly surprised if I go down to a 22 in a bathing suit. But I am going down waist wize ..my size 24s are getting way too big.. tried to put one on today and my pants were so big in the legs.. I didnt think I would be able to wear it .. I have been walking around with these pants that are way to big for my legs lol but they are so comfy .. I love it!! After summer I will definitely be in a size 22 pants .. yea!! Go me!!

I feel so damn good ..and I am not going to wear my headphones anymore.. except when summer comes in June, when the kids are out and ready to throw insults ..but for now I am going to listen to nature .. I didnt realize what I was missing by having the head phones on until I took them off, because I was on a dangerous road and I could hear the wind, feel the wind .. I was like .. I should take these off more often when I am out ..and since that will be .. I will be swinging my arms ..which will make my pulse rise!

I am so happy peeps .. Happy to be back!!:grouphug:

good stuff

Hey Cinderelly..
This will be our second date, but we have been chatting for five weeks, which is kind of exciting. We are really getting to know each other, but we really need to hang out more, go to the movies. I want to see Spiderwick if it is still in the theaters, that would be exciting. But anyway he cant come up again in April, because he is getting a new job and doesnt know what his hours will be, but he says we will work it out. He is very sweet, a true gentlemen... he is so funny and loves listening to me talk about food with him! He Thinks I will eat more of it that way, in actuallity the computer makes me not eat, because I am too busy chatting with peeps lol ..so he is actually doing the opposite ..he wants me at the weight I am... but I am wondering if this is because he is insecure. He is afraid I am going to meet someone closer and I really enjoy his presence...I can honestly say he is the kindest man I have ever met and he really doesnt have to worry about that, but I guess he will have to learn I am not like that, I dont cheat ..u know .. I am a good person ..

but we will see if he can get over his fears ..

Hey, huge congratulations on all the progress! You're doing so amazingly well with all your new walks and stairs and things! And 272.2! That's wonderful! I'm so impressed by all your clothing size changes too. I'm getting to the point where a couple of my shirts are a bit too big, but most of my clothes don't give me very accurate information--I wear a lot of skirts with elastic waistbands, for example, which don't really show much difference.

This feels good. To remember the last four years, as terrible as they were, Alex and I shared our ups and downs together. We grew together, but I grew in size, and he was tired of waiting for me to finish my degree, so that was the end, but only the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I just found a pic of me with my beautiful gold and ruby ring that he gave to me on our third year anniversary. I will never wear it again, that part of my life is over and I was soooo deep in love with him. But I thought of change and what can happen over four years. I did everything with him. I would call him during the week and see him every weekend. We were insepreable. He wanted to do everything with me, he really enjoyed my company and that was one plus. and I went on fifteen mile to 21 mile bike rides all over NH and Maine with him, even did a ten miles bike rides in Andover Ma. WE did a lot of things, we spent summers at the beach, we would both tan and just lye there ..happily... he would faun on me, because he loved how I looked in my bathing suit lol My suits were a little revealing. But I am going to get a very modest bathing suit this year, even though I am more than twenty pounds lighter. I feel I will do myself justice by wearing it. But peeps will stare at me still on the beach, but you know what I dont care. I used to care that they would take Alex away from me. He didn't feel comfy at the beach with me, because he looked at all the Bikini clad women, and there were a lot, but we would go down the beach to our own area and fall into the waves and just enjoy our time, I appreciated him caring about my feelings, but he fauned over me.. I forgot how much he trully loved me lol it was nice, but now I have moved on and I just wanted to talk about this, because I have this picture of us going hiking and I am at the entrance of mtn blue and I have my red ruby, gold ring on and I loved that thing. I wore it all the time, except to bed ..but I had it on everyday, it was attached to me and I wore it proudly.. I thought I was going to be Natalie Beinhorn Gershaw.. lol
His name is Alexander Benjamin Gershaw ... nice jewish name, both of us have...lol Just two kids playing in the sand I guess, loving and wishing and hoping ..but we are just friends now

but I am thrilling I have this great man now I am dating, who even treats me better than Alex did and I am sure he will have his eyes on me when we go to the beach, he says he can't wait to see me in a bathing suit, and he says he likes my belly through the shirt and he loves my ass lol he felt it up when we went to the bookstore .. I felt like one hot chicka! and I am one hot chicka I have realized and with every pound gone I get even hotter and it feels damn good. He doesnt want me to lose weight, but I want to walk all over the sky and back, up the mtns and back again .. I want to be able to jog .. I would be so proud of myself if I got down to 200 and I can't help but think how I will have than revealed my hour glass figure and I will be beautiful! I already feel beautiful, but I will feel true beauty physically when I get down, as I move closer to my goal. I think I will stay at 200, even if I am not with Peter, because I liked how I looked at 245, so I think 200 is perfect for me and I will be healthy as hell ...

Go me!~ and I have made history! lol in my own neck of the woods ..

Alex and I make good friends
Peter and I make wonderful lovers ..
so I have two very important men in my life, other than my family. And neither can change the way I feel about either of them.

Peter is worried I will leave him for another man or someone closer, or even Alex ..but I wont ...but I wish I could put his mind at ease

any suggestion girls, other than keep telling him all is well in the world of Peter and I lol

well ttylater girls
I guess my diary is about more than weight lol
Sorry if you got bored reading ...

Hey there Natalie! First, congrats on the super scale movement that you're seeing!! That's just awesome. :)

As to the Peter thing - I think many relationships start out with a certain amount of uncertainty and lack of confidence. I was sure that Dan (fiance) was going to leave me for someone thinner, prettier, etc because I was so positive that he COULD have anyone that he wanted. He tends to be very charming, and honestly women love him. So for a little while that bothered me, but it was just relieved with time. It takes time to build trust in the beginning especially if you are a long-distance relationship. So just keep reassuring Peter! He'll get it some day soon. :)

Your not going to believe this. My brand new pants that I got two weeks ago are getting WAY too big, they are falling off me now. I have to keep pulling them, they are falling almost all the way off hun! I guess eating right, and chaging your exercise regime can do that!! I am so thrilled hun!!

Thanks so much!!

Yea Heather!and everyone else!!

That is exactly what is going on with Peter and I. It seems like he thinks that I will leave him for someone closer by. I am afraid when he loses more weight, he will think he can get better than me, and will leave me. But we are doing so awesome. I took my profile account of the dating site we met off and sent him the reciept they send to me hoping I come back soon. He said I didnt have to send it to me, that he believed me, but I thought I needed to really nail it!! lol So he knows I mean business! He says he is coming back up by the latest May. So I will get to see my wonderful man again soon!

and also we went to the beach, it was so awesome, we walked, talked, held his arm... and when I tried to get away from him he would squeeze me and he would hug me tightly lmao .. I thought he would never let go .. I loved walking the sidewalk next to the beach and we walked some of the beach, but he cant swim and says he wants no part with the water, so oh well, cant get him over there lol I thought maybe he would want to go to the beach with me, but thats ok. We will just go hiking, chill in the backyard. Maybe we can get him a bike a garage sale, thats where we bought my bike. Fifteen dollars for the bike, did a make over for one hundred ..it was perfect. Looked new, rode well, I love my road bike! I plan to use it at some point. I need to find out the weather on the weather channel. Didnt check my weight today, but I don't care, did have ice scream today. BUT I DID so well on my diet today! lol It was awesome. I enjoyed the ice scream and yet my pants are still falling down ... yea!!
