Skyler's new diary

Skyler, I think those extra 5 lbs will come off quickly, because you put them on quick, so don't worry about them. As soon as you get back into your routine, they will be gone. And I know you'll be back on track in no time!!!
 
Hey girl! Long time no talk! How are you? How was the wedding? Where are the pics? I wanna see! Email me! BTW- YOU ARE DOING GREAT! :D
 
holy toledo!!!!!!!! paula is back!?!?!?!!! i MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am gonna email you now...

hooray!! :D
 
thanks crunchie & ntl....wow, crunchie you are down to only 9 lbs left! congrats!! hopefully you see this but i'll go to your diary.

yesterday was good - lots of water/ exercise / 1550 calories...i did have a glass of wine (yikes!, but it was part of my total caloric count.....

so far so good today......need to figure out when i am going to do my plyometrics as i have class tongiht..hoping to get it in before class if i get home early enough! hope all are well!!
 
Hey Skyler,

I just wanted to congratulate you on your recent wedding and honeymoon :) and to say keep up the good work!! You're almost there!!!!

And thanks for posting in my diary :)
 
Oh well if you have many more days like yesterday there's no way that 5lbs will stick about for long.;) Keep up the good work lass!
 
thanks guys...today was interesting as i was super busy at work. i did manage to get in my 25 minute plyometric workout in between work and class so that felt great. i drank about 90 oz of water, had my vitamins and ate every few hours. however, my calories only came in at 1070 :(....i hope that doesnt sabotage anything. i'm thinking b/c i was on my high end of calorits the past few days, maybe it will be okay as long as i am in the middle to high end tomorrow. so overall, i'd guess i'd say another successful one ;).
 
well today was an interesting day as my legs were so SORE from my ploymetrics routine that i could barely walk - so that is what i did..diruing lunch. otherwise, we took my parents out for their anniversary. managed to stay at 1600 caloires and had 8 glasses (not enough) of water. i look forward to a perfect day tomorrow! (at least i can try!!).
 
i am venting so please excuse me but i just feel YUCKY today. i dont know if it was not enough water, a negative (wrong side of the bed) wakeup or what but i am frustrated, angry, annoyed and down right feeling bad about myself. UGH. I hate this. I have make huge successes. 20 lbs gone!! that is amazing when i read others diaries..how come i cant pat myself on the back as i do others? how come i look at myself and think "GROSS"....and grab those love handles..........no, not healthy......no, not who i aim to be or where i want to be and it isnt about the number on the scale. it is about how i feel. i want to LOVE my body. I want to be toned and strong. I want to be a success. I am not giving up - that is no option but i need to find a way to realize my successses, remember this is a slow process and this lifestyle change will eventually lead to my goal of the last 15 lbs gone! :( I know others have so much else to lose but i am not one to compare myself to others, only to who i am and who i want to be... and today, i am just not satisfied.

if i do the math (usually helps!) - losing 2 lbs/month - in 7 months i will be at my goal - that is mid january 2007. I need to remember that. I need to plant that in my head. I will not be there until then. My metabolism doenst work fast and i need to continue this life forever - but i just wish so bad that i didnt have this blugh feeling of limited success - for goodness sake - i've had some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry, needed to get that out.
 
Skyler, it looks like you're having similar moment that I had recently. Its probably both water gain, the bloating feeling, and sometimes our minds are thinking negative thoughts even though they are not true.
Just let those feeling blow over, and keep reminding yourself how far you've come. Also, I would recommend train your mind to love your body. Each day think something positive about your body, especially when you achieve new fitness goal or improvement, when you feel that your muscles are a bit stronger or bigger.

We've programmed ourselves for so long to not like our bodies, it is amazing we're doing as well as we are. So, take heart, things are going well. You've made so much progress! If you have any before pictures, or have clothes in your old size, it may help you to remind yourself how far you've come. And the bottom line is that we need to program ourselves to love our bodies the way they are now, while striving for healthier us. Because if we don't like what we've got, we may find reasons to be unhappy in the future even when we are completely healthy.

I hope this helps any. :) Take it easy, and know that you have amazing determination, and take pride in your achievement!
 
Dont worry girlfriend your body is adjusting you are doing awsome!!!!!
 
Skyler, glad I could help! Keep your chin up, you're doing great! Just concentrate on positive one day at a time! :) And remember, you have a slow-looser buddy in me! :)
 
Hey Skyler,

Don't get down on yourself! YOU ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB! *HUGS*

I was thinking that a weight gain can be water weight or it can be new muscle mass, which is a good thing. That's why sometimes looking just at the number isn't the best idea. Do you measure????
 
honey, we all have days like that. I call them my "fat and ugly" days. No matter how much we've accomplished sometimes we still fee like we're not good enough. What is wrong with our brains!!!!!!!

But that's why we're so lucky to have a place like that. Because when we get down like that we can come here where our friends will help us put things back into perspective. Sometimes we need a good shake by the shoulders.

For example, today I tried on six business type jackets that I haven't been able to wear in over six years. Every one of them buttoned up and several were even loose. So I sent them all to the dry cleaners and I'm going to start wearing them again. But you know what I thought to myself? That when these used to fit and I was this size before, there was no way I looked as bad as I do now. Huh? What is wrong with me.

here....you slap me....and then I'll slap you....are we better now? :eek:
 
thanks scarlett and miss kallie and ntl. yeah, i do need a slap. the scale is my worst enemy. kallie - yes, i measure and i have shrunk a lot actually - 4.5 inches from my waste and 10 inches total but i havent moved since then (1 month ago). i know i am just getting back into my regular routine but i just feel stuck and the end is the hardest and i am so happy that i can vent in here b/c it really gets so frustrating!!!!

moving on...drank tons of water today and working on more...figure i need to flush out the cocktails i had last night....just having a "down day"...yes, a "fat and ugly day" as you say.....but, i've been good - i didnt lose site of the goal and i didnt eat anything "stupid"....

calories came in at 1265, i had pilates class and took a 40 minute power walk during lunch to burn off some steam and this attitude....and took my vitamins...dont think i could have done much else..so, sticking to this plan and eventually i have to be happy with how i look and my body. today was just a rough one...and of course, to make it worse and make myself feel worse, i stepped on the scale when i came home from work, um, yeah...i NEVER do that and it said 6 lbs heavier than my morning weighins...chalking that up to nothing but that even depressed me...i'm thinking a movie....more water and a night in....geesh, what is wrong with me?
 
Skyler,
You have done a great job with the amount of weight you have lost! You can and will reach your goal! I'm so sorry the challenge didn't work out for you. But I know you will still be able to do this. :D
