Return of the Pepper Girl~

Hi Guys-
It's the return of the prodigal child.

Like I said, I've let my weight get away from me and I'm up 35lbs to 285lb.
So, time to reevaluate things and set some new goals! I know how to do it, I've done it before. It just takes Will & diligence.

Goal 1: Stop the night bingeing!!
I've this dirty little habit of gnashing on things until I go to bed, little things that tend to add up.

Goal 2: Begin an exercise program.
I went from walking a mile 3 times a week (at least) to zero. Nothing. I have to get back to it! I live about 2 miles from where I work and I'd love to be able to walk to and from work everyday. No need to create emissions that aren't absolutely necessary.

I'm going to start slow, walking 1/2 mile 3 days a week and work my way up.

Goal 3: Eat Right.
Not such a hard one, I try very hard to do that anyway. But I've got to cut down on the sugar, maybe munch on fruit whenever the sweet tooth calls.

I'd love to see 250lbs. but mostly I just want these healthy habits to become second nature because I feel better, healthier & more engetic.

These are all going to contribute to-
Goal 4: Be less shy in public!!!
Last time, this forum showed me that I can be an upbeat, outgoing person. The fact that I hide that from others IRL is just tragic. Like my husband said, "I just want others to know the woman I love."


Have a Great Day Everyone!!
:D:D
 
Ooo!! This is great - I've a bike that has been writing emo poetry in our shed. I might have to dig it out and try this. Thanks so much!!
 
Morning-
Ack it's so early. :sleeping: Why does work have to start at 8??

I slept for crap last night, had to take a sleeping pill, then dreamed about being awake and wandering the house... and 3 headed snakes. Eww.

Had great weekend, went fishing & ate too much then went out with family for my birthday & ate too much. But I did manage to ride my bike for a little while of Friday. The hubby and I are going to start walking so that we can be in shape for spring when we start hiking. I'm excited! I've always wanted to hike but never had a buddy or the physical stamina.

Eh, I feel like I'm babbling.
Guess I need to go peeping and see what other are up to.

Toodles. :)
 
We've talked about hiking since we met but never really prepared for it, then autumn rolls around and we talk about it again. I figure, this would be a great way to shed those newly-web pounds together and enjoy nature. We'll see.

Yep, we caught 3 fish. A tiny little Blue Gill which we tossed back and then a good sized Sunfish which we kept and a smallish, large mouth bass. Oh how ridiculous we looked trying to get acquainted with the tolling motor!! Everything is backwards, including reverse & acceleration. It took me a little while but by the end, I had it. The hubby never could get the hang of it and we had to trade back in the middle of the lake (such a site!) after just a few minutes. Too bad it was to cold (and icky due to drought) to swim. :(
 
Just a few minutes before I've to get to work. Busy busy day, filled with meetings, then I've a on-location photo shoot tomorrow so I'll not be on here.

I blew yesterday, didn't work out and ate for crap in the evening including copious amounts of pizza & beer. It's really no wonder I've put on a few pounds.

Baby steps I suppose.

I'm being accountable right now and that's more than I was doing a week ago.
 
Your on the right track :) Being accountable is a great place to start. I remember reading your diary way back when I was mostly a lurker on here. I really enjoyed following your journey.... Then you disappeared :( But now your back :) Sounds like you have some excellent goals in mind and it will be awesome to see you reach them.

Take Care,
Sam
 
Aww.. Thats super sweet! Thank you! So Glad to see you de-lurk!

What a frickin' busy few days!!
We had that on-location photoshoot that lasted until 9:30pm (on my BIRTHDAY!! :cry:) , a ton of meetings regaurding the new catalog, Chris (Chris=Hubby=Mr.Giggles from previous journal) had a blow-out on his way home... etc. etc. It just doesn't stop sometimes!!

But! I somehow managed to lose 2 lb!! I'm now at 283lb. Woohoo! Exercise makes a true difference. I'm not been working out formally but with work, I'm been running around like a chicken-sans-head.

I didn't post this on here but during the fishing trip... I had a pants malfunction. I was mortified!! I ripped the inner thigh right out of the right side. Thankfully no one notice but it just made me sad. So much work to fit into those exact pants. My mother bought me a new pair for my birthday, a Lane Bryant size "6". I was wearing a "2".... I took the 6 back, thankfully they were just too big. I'm currently sitting in a size "4", not great... but not a "6". (By the way, while I looove the new fit on their pants - I feel like Lane Bryant is patronizing me with these new smaller numbers. I'm not that naive Ms. Bryant!)

One more thing before I have to get back to work....

I'm so excited!! Chris & I are going to Rocky Horror Picture Show Tonight!! :D:D:D:D

He's going as Dr. Frank N. Furter with my corset & fish nets, I'm going as Magenta. I've got stockings and a garder belt (always wanted one, so sexy!!) I'm going to frizz my hair and tint it red. It should be exhaustingly fun, late night!! :D:D

I'll post pictures on Monday.

Welp, I should get some work done. I'll peep back off and on today.
Toodles!! :D:D

OMG! That is awesome about the movie and the costumes, lol! I was just posting in my diary about how I've almost dressed up as Dr. Frank n Furter for a few Halloweens but haven't. This year I already have my costume figured out as something else but, still way cool... You guys sound like a lot of fun ;)

Happy Bday the other day! :party: and congrats on the 2lbs down. That was sweet of your mom. I didn't know Lane Bryants sizes worked like that. I learn new things everyday :) My friend, who shops at Lane Bryant, also likes this store we have around here called Torrent. Don't know if you have them by you but I think they had some pretty cute stuff. It's a little younger minded and edgier than Lane Bryant, imo...

Have a great night tonite! and I can't wait for pics when you post them :D

I think it's Chico's that does a similar sizing system... just confusing if you ask me...
 
Lane Bryant is too funny that way. I enjoy Torrid as well - but am I the only one that gets a bit offended that "plus size" starts at 14? I know a lot of perfectly healthy looking people who are 14s. I'd kill to be a 14.

I found a dress at Lane Bryant once that I passed on because of price and because i was just a little too self conscious to wear a dress. So sad that I did - I've tried to find it since then with no luck.
 
Ooo... Torrid looks very yummy. I might have to drop a few dollars on something I don't need. ;):D:D
 
yay good to see you back again. ive been disappearing longer and longer times myself these days lol :0
 
Thanks for stopping in Wishes! :):D


I. Am. So. Tired.
I'm seriously ready to just drop.
It's been such a long few weeks. Not a single day has been spent at home. Not one. Friday Night was Rocky Horror (so fun, oh my gosh!!) Saturday we... shit. I can't remember. We did something. I know there was Sushi involved. Sunday we drove over an hour to Lincoln's boyhood home for a school project Chris is doing and walked and walked and walked, omg the walking. And it's not that I'm not enjoying all this hustle hustle hustle, I am... it's just, well, I'm exhausted and would desperately love a moment to rest. Even tonight there are plans, a friend of ours is coming over to hang out.

What was my point? I forgot... I need coffee.

I'll be back later.
:drooling:
 
Goooood Morning Everyone!! And thank you for popping in :D:D
Lol @ Llamabean

Got got about 9hrs of sleep last night, the friend didn't show up and I got my quiet night at home. Sweet!! I feel much much better.

So yeah the 'diet' thing... it's been going pretty well, most days I'm within my caloric range of 1300-1700. But if I fall out of it, thats fine. It happens. At this point I'm just working on one goal: Limit the nighttime munchies.

Last night I had 2 cookies. I baked them from frozen dough but instead of cutting 2 cookies I cut the chunk into quarters so I ended up with 4 smaller cookies. It was nice, it felt like an indulgence even though I was well within range.

Dang! I forgot the throw the Rocky Horror pictures onto my thumb-drive before I left for work. We had so much fun! My garter/stockings thing didn't work out so great. I bought 'plus sized' stockings from a local porno shop since Lane Bryant stopped carrying them and well... they didn't fit. Little did I know that 'plus sized' actually means... Mens. They fit Chris perfectly. Perfectly. So he wore those as Dr. Furter and wore my striped knee socks as Magenta. I was a bit apprehensive about my get-up... until we walked in. There were people who looked way more ridiculous than I did. People were actually coming by to get a picture with Chris and we were interviewed & got our pictures taken for the local paper.

There was so much TP flying & people shouting at the movie. I loved it! We are definitely going back next year. Oh... I didn't know there were "aliens" in that movie! Geez, I'm so outta touch!!
