Project Rox

I had a really fantastic day yesterday!
I won't go into details...but it was five hours of pure bliss!

Another plus is that it was apparently good exercise. LOL! I was another pound down at today's weigh-in: I'm currently at 148.3 pounds (67.4kg) !!!! So, I am really over the moon! I'm only about four pounds from my goal weight! Hard to believe!
 
Everything here is going well....The weightloss is very slow now that I'm within 4lbs of goal, but I see such a difference in my form now thanks to the workouts I've been doing with my daughter. We've been at it nearly every day for a few weeks now. I'm even starting to see muscle in my previously chubby thighs- so that's great!

I bought a gorgeous new mini dress last week in size smalll and wore it to go out with my husband and some of our friends...I wore it with high black boots and looked pretty cute, as far I as I could tell from the male attention I got. I adore having thighs that can be shown in public without traumatising people! LOL! But I have to say that my husband, the big jerk, looked awful...he hadn't showered and just wore an old t-shirt and jeans. I'm not sure what that was all about....but we did not look like we belonged in the same room...


I saw Hot Boyfriend on Sunday afternoon. I wore the mini dress and got a very good reaction.
I could post a picture that HB took of me wearing it. We were playing "sexy librarian" (TMI?) but some of the photos aren't too racy....
 
Here's a couple of the pictures, if anyone's curious... Nothing shocking- just me being silly...and you can see my new dress, plus how I look 4lbs from goal!

Thanks so much, Val!

I adore going into shops now and trying things on! I generally wear a size 38 or 40 now. That's an 8 or 10 in USA sizes. ( Not sure how that translates into UK sizes, though.) But I was still surprised to have a size small dress fit me perfectly. My daughter was with me and she made me buy it! I wasn't sure I should spend the money, but it was on sale and she said it looked amazing... she's such a sweetie.



BTW-In the second picture, I like my arms- they actually look muscular! That shred DVD is really doing the trick!
 
Just a quick stop in to say that I weighed in today at 66.8 kg. I can't even think when i was this weight last...maybe at age 21? Crazy!

That's 146.9 lbs.... only 2.9 more pounds to lose and I'll be at goal!!!
 
OH Rox, you story was sad and nice to read. Thanksa bunch for sharing it with the rest of us! And big congratulations on the weight loss, truely inspirational considering all that you had to deal with ;)

As for you and that Hot boyfriend I dunno what to say hahaha it just makes me laugh.

Now.. hope to see you lose those last few pounds!

You Rock, Rox.
 
*wolf whistle*! Rox you look bloody awesome! And I love the dress :)

Such a shame your hubby couldn't even shower and out something nice on...
At least HB appreciates you! :Angel_anim:

Seriously, you look fantastic, and well done on doing the DVD's. I'm so unco-ordinated, but I'm trying to do mine lol. The kids kept laughing at me so now I close all the doors and hide!!!
 
I just spent a lovely weekend out with my girls at a cat expo! We have a friend who is a breeder, so we have fun helping her show her fancy cats sometimes. And this time, we even brought along our two housecats for my youngest girls to show. it was such fun for them and they got cute prizes.

I'd brought along healthy snack for everyone, so eating was not a trial. That night at the restaurant, there was salmon tartar on special, so we all had that. It was so good! I had it on bread, of course...and i usally don't eat bread. So, I wasn't surprised to see no loss today. But I'm pretty resigned to the fact that losing the last couple of pounds might take a while... And i'm pretty happy as i am, so there's no huge rush!

Losing so much weight has been such a psychological adjustment for me. I've really gotten out of the habit of being noticed and flirted with. It sometimes takes me a while to figure out what is going on. For example, when i had to leave the expo hall to go fetch something, I neede to get my hand stamped at the door to get get back in later. The man doing it stamped my hand and then said with a smile "You know, usually I need to stamp this on the left thigh, too." I was SO confused for a second. Then I realized that A. I was wearing a mini skirt and B. he was completely checking me out! It wasn't creepy at all- just flirtatious...but it's been so long since that was part of my life!

One of the judges was also very flirtatious...kept telling me how great I looked and how he loved my hair. I thought he might start filling out a judging form for me like he did for my cats! "Excellent coat"

BTW-The mini skirt I wore on the first day is a size 8 (USA) and the jeans size 10. I don't think I've worn these sizes since I was 16!

Best of all...Hot boyfriend texted me and asked if he could come see me. I couldn't resist and had to say yes....even though it was unwise. So, he drove 200kms through the snow just to see me for barely an hour, kiss me (well away from my children!!) and tell me that I'm astoundingly beautiful and the love of his life.
He completely melts my heart. So romantic!
 
Here's a photo of me with one of our cats and the judge that was such a fan of my super-short hair.

After my workout today, I weighed myself on the Wii board. My BMI is 23.18 as of today!!
I can hardly wait to be down in the 22's!!

I went shopping afterwards and bought myself a cute cashmere sweater ...in a size small!! And a pair of cute shorts in size 10. I tryed them on with a pair of argyle tights and it looked awfully cute! I just ADORE shopping now!

My other fun news is that Hot Boyfriend is taking a day off work on Monday so we can spend the day together.

Between all the clothes and my hot, very athletic boyfriend, I am SO motivated to keep losing and to keep fit. I'm getting to goal slowly...but I'll make it - just a couple more lbs to go. And then maintaining will be my job. But I think that my habits have changed so profoundly since last March that I won't fall back into old ways.
My whole life has changed.... I hardly recognise anything anymore...
 
Rox - just read through your diary. Great job on the consistent weight loss. I have to admit, I was worried when I started reading - about the really low calorie intake. I was pleased to read on to find you did take the advice and upped the calories some. Sounds like you have had quite the tough year and it has truly made you stronger.

Best of luck through the trials still to come. Thanks for sharing your jouney.
 
Congrats on the amazing BMI. I bet if somebody had told you at the beginning of the year what your life would be like now and what you would look like you would never have believed them!!!!
Is your husband not at all suspicious of you and hot boyfriend? Do you know when you are going to drop the bombshell yet? LOL he's got a shock coming to him. Is he still in contact with the other woman? Sorry for all the questions but knowing so much about the situation it all intrigues me :)

Hey Val!
You're right...i never would have seen any of this coming...neither the good nor the bad. it's been crazy!
As for me and my HB...the idiot husband still suspects absolutely nothing. I feel like a secret agent, or something!
He says that he no longer has contact with his mistress...and UI think I believe him. Their relationship was all about money. Now he can't give her any and she's no doubt moved on to some new sucker. But she came out of it well, after all, he bought her a HOUSE! What an idiot.
But I've got him completely lulled into a false sense of security so that my kids can have a nice Xmas holiday. After that, though, all bets are off. I'll be filing for divorce pretty quickly. I'm not sure what to do about HB, though. I'm "The One" for him and he wants me to marry him or at least live with him asap. On the other hand....I'm too wounded to be crazy in love again...and I have four kids to think of. It's very confusing, as he is a wonderful man and very, extremely hot!
So...for the moment I try not to think about this stuff too much. Concentrating on my exercise and diet is so much easier!!!!
 
I'm glad that you aren't going to rush thing with HB. He'll be willing to wait as long as it takes if he loves you. Rushing things could lead to all sorts of problems with the kids as they could end up blaming him for taking their dad away.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see the look on your husbands face when you tell him. He so deserves it. :)
 
OMG the nerve of that man! I'm with Ecky, he deserves to feel what you had to feel. Fancy taking money from his wife and CHILDREN and buying that floozy a house!
I think it's good you're not rushing into the HB thing too much either, but my god he does sound pretty flash! :)

Hey one of my main weight loss fantasies is to be able to wear long black tights with short denim shorts over the top. I LOVE argyle anything too.
Love the pic of you and the cats too :)
Have a great week Rox!

You don't know the half of it! He's spent thousands on the two mistresses that I know of..and I'm guessing there were others! And when I think of how he'd talk about how we couldn't "afford" things for the children or our own house... OMG it makes me SO angry!

HB is awfully nice,though, as well as sexy- and isn't pressuring me really. It's more like he's just so excited about me and so in love...which is pretty irresisible, I must admit.
And our day together yesterday was amazing. Six hours of non-stop....fun!
