First off, thanks for all the birthday wishes!!
My mother bought me a long island iced tea...holy god it tasted like nail polish remover and pine sol...BUT I downed it. lol. Only had one drink.
I was missing ya for a few days! THANK goodness you didn't fall off the wagon completely!
It's awesome that your mom is making smart choices and losing weight! I think we got some friendly mother and daughter competition now...
Yeah, I was hanging on while the horses were out of control, but I climbed back on and got 'dem hoss's undah control..
I am 21 too and I am trying to get my weight in track. I will keep your diary bookmarked cause I feel you will give me some direction too =) Good luck!!
Thanks!
It must be so great to have people around to run with you or who are on the same journey to weight loss that you are. I live with my boyfriend, and outweigh him by about 15 pounds, so we won't be sharing any calorie counting rituals anytime soon, haha. I'm glad you're seeing that running CAN be fun and yes, it definitely releases some positive energy. I run early in the morning and on those days I feel better throughout the entire day.
I do like running. (After I'm done thinking I'm dying... lol) My brother restarted college, so now we have to rearrange our schedules. fun stuff.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I missed it I know but I hope you had fun!
And WELL DONE for staying on track its very inspirational! Fighting those inner demons is pretty hard but if we have self discipline we can do anything. Congratulations for your mother as well! I decided that when I get work my treat to myself will be a treadmill I have been dying for one for ages!
If my inner demons looked like demons, I'd be fine... but they look like mexican food, cookies, candy coffee, and anything and everything that could be bad for you. lol. I'm saving up for a treadmill. Am hoping my parents will go halfers on one. Who knows. I have a couple hundred saved for a new violin, but my health is more important at the moment. Violin's next.
Welcome back Xorie - Glad to hear your busy, cos if your like me and your not busy, mmmm the munchies set in and that can be disastrous hee hee. Hope you had a great birthday & enjoyed your choir practice. Maddie
God, I find myself eating whenever I'm bored. I now have so many different mini hobbies to keep myself out of the kitchen it's crazy... Gardening, piano, singing, violin, pottery, writing, drawing, calligraphy, horses, and now I'm cleaning the house to stay out of the kitchen! Oh, and choir was fun.
Alrighty people, I'm back. Had a good time house sitting, EXCEPT for when one of the miniature horses I was watching colicked... Oh man, that was fun. NOT. Had to call the vet out, (Pitter the pony perked up right before Dr. miller got there...) vet gave her some Banamine, and then tubed her as a precaution. I was sick to my stomach the whole time. It really wasnt fun at all. BUT other than that and the threat of the river flooding (but it didnt) I had a great time.
I did however have a moment of the wagon getting out of control... I was ALMOST thrown off, but I managed to grab the reins again. I only gained a pound, BUT as it's that time of the month, I'm going to wait until friday to do an official weigh in.
I had a treadmill while there, and I loved it. I could put on CMT and just zone out watching music videos. I ran an entire mile and a half on an incline of 2. I find that if I'm not thinking about what I'm doing, I can go pretty much forever.
Oh, and watched the season premier of Biggest Loser last night. It shocks me at the fact that I weigh more than some of the people on the show, But I'm in much better shape. Some of the challenges were that they either had to run a mile, or do 500 step ups... It was crazy at how hard of a time all of them had. My dad and I were talking about it, and he said that while I'm heavy, its not just fat. He called me solid all the way through. My mom weighs about 5/10 lbs less than me, but I wear a size 18 and she wears a 22. crazy.
Anyway, going to play some piano, then clean the house, scrub my bathroom, clean the windows... anything to keep me out of the fridge until lunch time. I might go and drink a huge glass of water to trick my stomach into thinking its full for a little bit. I have 2 hours til lunch...
Hope everyone had a great week!
I totally relate to this! My mum's overweight too while my sister's so skinny it's annoying, and when we go to a store she's always the one who comes out with something nice even if we went there to buy something for my mom or for me. I got my my mum on the "lifestile change" as well so let's hope that for february we'll all be able to surprise our skinny sisters!
