Pequin Weight Journal

Wahoo, Penguin you sound like you're on fire!!!

I vividly remember in 1984 my Aunt Better had a remote control for her tv--it was like the coolest thing since sliced bread! Of course it was a remote with a long cord attached to it--but it was still cool! :)
 
LOL, I was doing the Penguin thing for about 2 weeks before I noticed the lack of n. Keep up the lifting Peguin. You're doing great.

Actually - yeah! It's about a 3rd the size of a regular banana and is much sweeter. I can't eat a whole banana - they make my mouth hurt and my stomch gets upset. So these are the perfect size.

Not much I'm sure since the uber muscles are still covered by a velvety delicious layer of fatty goodness... lol

Pequin - P-E-Q-U-I-N: Pequin pepper is a hot chile pepper, also known as "bird pepper", that is commonly used as a spice.

So y'all are half right - it's a bird anyway ;)

:D:D:D


Thanks everyone for stopping by!
 
My niece had her 16th birthday party today, I did so well -only had 1 small piece of cake and NO ice cream, drank only water and stayed far FAR away for the southern style sweet tea... but that's where my day stopped being good and I was drop in the middle of my own white hot slice of hell.

I'll spare you the gory details and just give you a nice mental snap shot:

The mall, sullen crabby spoiled teenager with an attitude on a birthday cake high who wants new clothes but doesn't want to spend her birthday money, my sister (aka: the evil stepmother :rolleyes: ) who is also crabby and sporting a lovely attitude all her own, THE MALL where other sullen crabby spoiled teenagers congregate on Sundays and me, the innocent bystander who just wanted to get out of the house for the afternoon and didn't wear sensible shoes.

I was so happy to get home and away from the pissy looks and snotty comments (from the kid & the sister!) and take off those so-dang-cute-but-oh-so-uncomfy-for-walking shoes

I think I walked a whole mall mile!! Or at least that's what my feet say. Pfffft... some 'rest day'.

I'm thinking about getting a part-time job at a local bakery. They've had a help wanted sign up off and on for the past 2 weeks... this gives me pause because either a: the hours suck or b: the bosses suck... either way I'm getting major suckage vibes...

BUT I love to cook especially baking. BUT I have no self control... BUT I want to get some cash to pay for Xmas and to start saving up to get my BA in Fine Arts.... BUT (and this is a big one) .... i'm scared :eek:

So much on the middle of the fence right now - I'm giving myself a wedgie!!

And you're asking yourself - scared??? why!? Welp kidos - with that stinkin CFS that i mentioned earlier I've been sick off and on for 10 years and haven't been able to work or attend much school and with all this exercising and eating right and a bit of timing to go with it - I'm actually feeling better. (I probably just jinxed it...lol) To add to everything I have a bit of social anxiety/awkwardness and I haven't had a job out in the public since 1998.

I feel pretty stupid for being scared and for putting things off for so long. And I know that if I get sick then I quit and try again later and if I don't get sick then woohoo... oy.. my mind is a complicated place sometimes.

Any advice?

So here's my food today:

Brunch: 3 blueberry pancakes, 3 slices of bacon
Snack: 1 thin slice of birthday cake
Super: Roast with a baked potato & gravy, salad
Snack: 3T. artichoke hummus, 1 stalk of celery & 10 mini toasts (love! :D)

Totals:
CALORIES: 1,268
CARBS: 172
FAT: 42
PROTEIN: 54

Water: 108oz
Exercise: None free day :p

Wow! that turned out to be a long winded post!! If you're still reading - congratulations, I owe you a beer!! lol

Hi P-E-Q-U-I-N pepper girl!!!!!! :p

The mall sucks.

"I feel pretty stupid for being scared and for putting things off for so long."

Not stupid. Going back to work and interviewing is scary. I hear you. But you should do it. Even if you are *socially awkward*, while working you will be professional and enjoy the interactions with other people. You can do it!
 
<shudder> The mall. I pity you.

That a conundrum about the job! I bet you'd be great at it, and you have great reasons for trying it out - but I can entirely understand your reservations as well. Perhaps you should give it a try, after all, you can always quit. Sounds like plenty of people have done just that lately.

Almost Unrelated Story: I recently heard about a friend of a friend who worked for a bulk candy store, like Sweet Factory. The store policy was that employees could have all the free candy they wanted. They had done a study, and turned out that if they told the employees "No Candy!" then the employees sneaked it almost constantly for years on end. But if they told them "Eat Away!" then the employees would stuff themselves silly for about a month on candy - and then never touch it again. Saved the company tons.

Totally reminds me of just about every eating situation I've ever gotten myself into.
 
YOu owe me a beer.

I also suffer from a social anxiety disorder commonly refered to as agoraphobia. I can go to work, because its comfortable for me(after six year s of employment there). But when I get to anchorage in a few weeks I'm going to be pacing and wringing my hands and finding every excuse possible to get on the plane and go home. I get a sweet valium script out of it though.
I don't usually go out to bars or whatnot. I'm a homebody. If I am not at work I am at home or doing some mundane errand that gets me really crabby.
anyhoo...now that I've hijacked your diary...
if you read all that I owe you a wedgie.
 
Oh social anxiety is so cruddy. I have a touch of it myself.
When my weight started coming on in my early teens, I was shy shy shy. Never wanted to go out, nothing.
Then I lost weight and was SO outgoing it was sick. Had a ton of friends... was one of the pissy teens at the mall ;) everything heh.
But now that I've gained + some.... here I am again. Back and being a hermit crab b/c I don't wanna show my face outside b/c I'm a big ole wussy :p heh

Oh well.... we'll get over it hopefully!!
Bakery job sounds so dangerous in the losing weight department rofl. I'd be too tempted to eat me some of the yums coming fresh out of the oven hehe
 
Hey pepper...... first of all I'd like an Ice cold corona with salt on the rim and a slice of lime shoved down the neck.

start saving up to get my BA in Fine Arts.... BUT (and this is a big one) .... I'm scared

Don't be, I think a lot of people that have weight issues have a problem being around people. It's like everyone is looking at you or talking about you. It's easy to get kinda phobic of open places and people. I just went back to school last year and it took a lot of dragging to get myself to go. College seems a little better than high school was on the teasing and things. It is normally a more adult atmosphere. You will have the occasional bung whole but over all I haven't had any problems. What is the exact field you want to study?

short answer...... No worries, Just do it..........

You are doing great pequin! If I got a job in a bakery...oh lord.. watch out.... I would be in so much trouble! I would have to TASTE everything atleast twice :)
 
you can do whatever you put your mind to... show even a smidgeon of the personality that you exhibit here...and you'll have people eating out of your hand...

your goal of getting the BFA is your prize... keep remembering that and it will make the tough days less tough :D
 
Only One Pound

Hello! Do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
Happy Days!!!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
