Project Rox

It was indeed great to have a "girls' night in". It's been ages since i did it, too. It's just so hard to justify the time away when the kids are small. But now mine are all quite able to manage on their now at home and I can be a lot more free. (But when my twins were four years old, you can bet I didn't go ANYWHERE fun, Tig! Be patient and things will change!)

Big news of the day- I weighed in this morning at:
139.9 lbs
I am now finally in the 130s and closing in on my goal! I'm SO happy!

Yesterday, I did my fitness dvd with my daughter, as usual. She's lost weight and gotten fit over the last year along with me. She's now 5 ft 8 inches, 151 lbs and very fit with a bmi of 23. She's amazing!

I also saw Hot Boyfriend yesterday and he convincing demonstrated to me that he's very, very sorry about what happened. It was three hours of the best sex ever...so, definitely worth forgiving him and keeping the relationship going! The only thing is, during the four weeks we didn't see each other, he was hitting the gym even harder. His body, which was already perfect is now beyond perfect and into the realm of astounding. Smoking hot, srsly. I'm pretty toned, but not at all in his league....
 
I was just looking at my weight loss history and realised that since I first got together with Hot Boyfriend IRL, I've lost 10 lbs and been exercising more.
And he doesn't seem to have noticed at all.
In fact, he even made that negative remark a few weeks back.
That is SO strange, isn't it?

BTW- I also just posted a few new comparison pics in my "Before and After" thread. I'm just in my underclothes in two of them, though. So, it's not for the easily shocked. lol!

Hey Rox! How's it going? I haven't seen you on in a while, so I hope everything is ok in your part of the world!
 
Hi! Thanks for thinking of me.

i'm ok...just going mildly crazy. lol. sort of.

My romantic life is becoming even more confusing and complicated.
Eeek!
So, I'll stick to weight-loss news.
Exercise is going pretty well. I don't manage to every day, but near enough.
my weight isn't going down, but I know I'm building some muscle, so it's all good.

I went for a long walk with some friends yesterday, which was really nice. It was up in the mountains and I was positively skipping up the slopes as others puffed along slowly. A year ago, I wouldn't have imagines being so fit!
 
Your walk sounds beautiful. As a child I lived in the southern part of Germany for a while and I remember the mountains and how pretty they were. But now for some reason as an adult the mountains and all the tall trees make me feel claustrophobic. I'm not sure if that's from living out on the open plains of the U.S. for so long now or what. I just really like the openness of it - I can see life coming at me from miles away whether it's company or bad weather.

I was wondering.... Do you take measurements of yourself? I know as my weight loss has slowed down considerably the nearer I've gotten to my goals it's been the measurements and loss of inches that has kept me going some days. I especially like when I can see that the inches have gone down because the fat has melted away, then the measurement has gone up a little as I can see I'm building more muscle tone.

Good luck sorting out your love life - I hope it doesn't make you too crazy!

Hey Tig!
Actually, I love both kinds of landscape. The mountains are gorgeous and spectacular. But I'll always love open plains and big skies....it's the Nebraska in me, I guess.

You know- I haven't measured myself and I regret it! Maybe i should do so soon, though. that way i can keep track of something other than my weight, which is moving really slowly now. Thanks for the idea!

For reals?
Thanks!

Here's an update for you, then....
I officially dumped Hot Neighbor last week. He seemed to be getting nervous that his wife is suspecting something and I SO do not need that kind of grief in my life. And, actually, I'd already began to feel that he was going to get so panicky that he'd break up with me first. So, to prevent that blow to my self-esteem, I ended it quickly and nicely.

But that left me with empty space on my dance card. I just don't see Hot Boyfriend all that often, as he lives so far away.
So, I decided to go out with a guy I've been corresponding with on the internet. We had dinner on Saturday night and he turned out to be very nice. And cute! Looks kind of like Mel Gibson, back in the day, before he got old and scary. lol.

But this wasn't your average date, as Anthony has a very fascinating job.

He works at a swingers' club on the weekends.
Srsly.
I went there with him....just to check it out.

And OMG was it interesting!
 
OMG Rox! What a life you lead! Exciting, interesting, never a dull moment!

Feel free to share all the details you want - I'm sure we'll eagerly eat them up! Especially those of us that lead such dull, boring lives! :coolgleamA:
 
I'm glad I can provide some entertainment! I'll be sure and get up to lots of trouble this weekend so that I can share it with you all....lol!

As for the measurement idea...I went through with it this morning.
So, here are my stats for Feb 9, 2011:
Weight: 139.9lbs
Bust: 35.5 (I got NO boobs, people. It's just sad)
Waist: 28.5 (This would be great...if I had more boobage. See above.)
Hips: 39 (My butt is undeniably enormous....I'm so depressed. Where's Sir Mix a Lot when you need him?)

I know that spot reduction isn't possible...and i'm already pretty toned- but I'm going to try to improve my stats. Losing more weight will surely help. Some of that butt is fat and it needs to go, asap!

And what am I doing about this sorry state of affairs?
Well, the eating is on track. And the exercise is ok. Yesterday, I had another long walk in the mountains- very fast and some rough terrain! And I'm going to workout with my dvd today. It would have been nice top walk again this afternoon, as it's a gorgeous day, but I had tons of work today and couldn't get away. Too bad, as I love being outside right now. It's almost like spring already here!! Crazy!
 
:smilielol5: hahaha! Woman you just crack me up!!! OUT LOUD!! haha! :D!!

I love that you cut the neighbor before he cut you! Nice way to keep the self esteem in check ;) I agree!! :) And as far, as the NEW guy. Wow. A swingers club, huh!? I'm SURE you got hit on left and right!! :D!! What did you think!? Did you like it?! You want to go back? It would be kind of interesting to be with another couple. Even if it is just you and them. It would definitely be interesting to have them BOTH! LOL! ..no jealous wife there!

And as far as your measurements...:smilielol5: YOU CRACK ME UP!!!

The little captions next to your measurements are HILARIOUS!!! "No boobage" "See above" & "Sir Mix Alot"!! :smilielol5:!!!! Oh Rox, so little time knowing you, yet I'm already starting to LOVE you!!! :beating:!!

You were just the cup of happiness I needed right now. Thanks!! :D! Keep us posted in the tangled love webs you weave!! :D! Love it!
 
WOW! I can't believe how close we are in measurements (except for boobage - unfortunately I have a couple inches on ya there - wanna trade?). We are really close to the same weight too. How tall are you? You seem very tall in your photos (I would guess 5'8" to 5'10"?). I always thought of myself as short at 5'5" but I just read something the other day that says that's actually on the taller side of average. The average height of American women is 5'3"!

Can't wait to hear all about your weekend 'trouble'! :reddevil:
 
Alta-
I'm so very glad that you find me lol-worthy. Hopefully, knowing that I'll be telling you everything will keep me in the realm of "sexually adventurous" and not degradinging into "embarrassingly slutty".

Or is it too late already?

Oh well...no use crying over opened condom packets....

And Tig-
YES, I will happy take any "excess" boob acreage that you can spare. Though on second thought, padded bras will probably do the trick just as well and be less traumatic for both of us.

As for my height, I'm not super-tall....just a shade under 5ft 7inches. I actually did a bit of modelling when I was a grad student in Chicago, back in the day. But I was too tall to be a "petite" model (like my friend who got me into the business and signed up with her agency) and too feakishly dwarf-like to be a "real" model.
On top of that, it was too miserably hard to keep my weight down. So I concentrated on school and went on to other things, which was no doubt for the best....

As for the swingers' club...what an experience that was.
And I mean that in the best possible way!
First of all, they call them "Libertine" clubs here in France and they are really quite popular. I was surprised to learn that even in the hick, cow-filled village where I live, I am only a 20 minute drive from no fewer than 5 clubs like this. Crazy!
Most of them concentrate on couples and try to avoid "excess" men. In fact, most places only let single men in on special nights and they have to pay a stiff (lol!) entry fee. Single women, on the other hand, are welcomed with open arms. They often get in free and are offered perks such as free drinks.
So, in this world the uninhibited, reasonably attractive single female is a highly prized and sought-after creature. And add to that that one of my major sexual fantasies has always been to be with two (or more, FTW!) men... this option was kind of looking interesting.
But I was quite nervous about it. I'm from Nebraska, after all. Would they even let a person from Nebraska into one of these places?

I started researching online and became more and more convinced that this could be something I would enjoy doing. But I decided that showing up on my own might be risky. Think of the humiliation of sitting there all alone and nobody even talking to you! Just like a painful junior-high dance, but with naked people. Gah!

It became obvious to me that I needed a guide and mentor- somebody to explain stuff to me, introduce me to people and in general help me look less loser-ific.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ummm...I'm really going on and on here. What an indecently long indecent post!
You guys getting eye-strain yet?
Maybe I'll continue this later today.
I'm finding it strangely fun to write this all down.
Maybe I'll write a book! lol!

The people in the club are naked?? I need to hear more!! Reading your diary is like needing to get my fix of Y&R every day!! I'm loving the stories!
I also have very tiny boobage - 35 inch chest. I wish I had your tiny waist though - I'm working on it!!!
Keep it up Rox!!
 
:smilielol5:!! You never fail to make me laugh woman!!

"no use crying over open condom packets" hahah!!! :reddevil:!! Ahhhh, love it! :D!
 
:smilielol5: Ditto what Alta said! Hilarious!

There sure are a LOT of swingers clubs near you - must be a popular thing to do!

We don't have clubs around here in my small rural town, but don't be fooled by that. There's plenty of bed hopping and spouse swapping going on all the time from what I've heard.

Can't wait to hear more about your 'adventures'! Be safe!
 
LOL Rox. You can't leave us with half a story!!!! Come back right now and tell us the rest!!!!!!! :D
If you don't want to tell it publicly then I will be watching my in box!!!!!!
 
Hey Rox! Do you guys celebrate Valentines day over there? If so, what kind of fun did you get up to with all the new men in your life? :reddevil:

Hope things are going well for you....
 
Hey guys!!! I promise to tell all...but not right now! It's nearly midnight and I just got back from Paris (lucky me!!!)
I'm SO tired!

But I'll telll you all about Paris, Valentine's Day AND French swingers' clubs tomorrow.
