SOS...I am sinking the boat!!!

so i ran the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday. did some weight training

my diet is going okay except again the wine. i didnt drink for 2 weeks and i lost like 4.5 pounds between the 2, that should be incentive enough. i am going to a redwing/duck party tonight and my plan is to make some lo cal dips and also to drink only diet pepsi

i would hate to go in with a gain on monday as i want to hit my 25 mark and damn get closer to the 150's. I havent seen the 150's in about 4 years (or more). In december it seemed like i would never ever see them again. Now, I feel like they are just within reach.

I cant say enough about how having my husband work with me as far as the food/recipes has helped. He is looking really good too. It sure makes the sexlife better ;-). I will spare you the details.... ;-)

We are truly truly making changes in our lifestyle and it hasnt been that hard. The exercise sometimes isnt easy for me as I have to force myself to do it, but maybe with having this time off I can get in a morning routine. The hard thing is taking 2 showers a day....so if i do it before my morning shower the better. I am going to try to transition my treadmill running to outside.

Well I have a lunch date with a friend and I dont know what I will eat..argh..salad i guess. Hope all is well with the warriors here.

Hugs and flowery shit

WOW...hun...FIRST OFF...I am soooo sorry to hear about your job!! :( Freaking sucks...damn economy I tell you!!!!!!! .:banghead:.that's why it's so smart for everyone to have a PLAN B now adays!

.....and SECOND...OMG... I know exactly what you mean about taking two showers a day...haahha!!! i mean, it's not that I'm scarred of water or taking 2 showers a day or anything like that, but I just find it annoying to have to get "READY" two times ...and sometimes I notice that it holds me back from wanting to work out if I know I have to go somewhere later, and that would mean getting sweaty and get ready ...AGAIN :puke: (not to mention...new change of clothes, makeup, hair, etc... )!!! ...and sometimes I just decide..."na..." ...too much time! :(

...excuses I tell you!!....(US LAZYYYYYYYYY BIOTCHES need to CUT-IT-OUT!~)!!! :D! haha! ...And congratulations for all the working out! It'll definitely help relieve tension!!! I'm always praying for you hun!!! :grouphug:!!!

I am getting better at the running. I actually ran almost a full mile today. I walked one mile then ran probably 3/4 or better of a mile. Then walked another 1/4 mile I know its just a start but 4 months ago I couldnt have jogged 1/4 of a mile. I will take another walk and do some weights this evening.

I dont know how the weigh in will go tomorrow. Not sure.

My phone went out yesterday and I had to get a new one...I went running and put it in my sportsbra...when I took it in the repair place said it had indication it got wet...so i guess my boob sweat killed my phone...isnt that a sad story. I am hoping after it dries out I can retrieve the 200 phone numbers that were in it because they couldnt. They said if it dries out they may be able to get the numbers if it will stay on for a few.

Go Red Wings!

Congrats on the running!

That sucks about the boob sweat/phone :(
I probably would have put mine in my sports bra, too. Hopefully I learn from your mistakes.

I'm sure you will be able to get your numbers when it dries out. Take out the battery and open it up near a window, if you haven't already.

Thanks for stopping my my journal and saying hi! I'm throwing a big ol' "hi" right back atcha!
 
so i think i said a few pages back that i got contacts. until a few years ago, i only wore glasses for reading..then about a year ago i had to get bifocals. since my recent weight loss i have become very vain i guess because i wanted to ditch the glasses. i have had a helluva time with these fukin lenses. first i had progressive bifocal lenses and it was like i was looking through water all the time, so they put me in mono lenses (one for distance and one for close) those seemed to work. but there have been a few times i have taken them out or put them in and they have fallen on my cabinet (without me knowing) and i find these little dried up crusty lenses. today i did the same thing. i thought all day that i couldnt see right but i just thought i was getting used to the lenses i get in the bathroom to take out my contacts and i look down and theres a little dried up crusty lens stuck to the sink...great...so no wonder i cant see squat. thats twice i thought i had them in and found them shriveled up.....dang..its tough to look this perty...maybe i should go back to nerd
 
weigh in today..bah..i dont know...i lost more than 2 the last two weeks in a row so i am a little concerned i am going to plateau.

went to sign up for unemp on line. and i couldnt. i quit mid process because my employer hadnt reported wages the first quarter of the year...and then my parttime salary as a skating instructor has to be factored in. i am not currently getting any money from that but i have to report i am still a pt employee at the rink...and THEN my severence pay somehow has to be reported. I am just a little nervous about everything i have to report, nervous i wont qualify. I dont know why I wouldnt qualify. Hell, I better or the hubby will be pissin and moaning at me. I am just a nervous wreck over it. Anyway I am waiting to hear back from the Finance Director at work.

Getting laid off/severed plays a big role in your psyche...even though you know its not personal, its hard not to take it that way especially when you are one that prides yourself on giving 110% at thier job. Each dept had to take a hit and everyone who got let go are great employees. Its just a bummer thats all.

Well off to weigh in and get my hairs cut.

I have been up since 4 am again....I gotta get over the hump of getting up that early.

Hugz and flowery shit

bah!! up 8 oz...today..1/2 pound.....i guess really that could be anything so I wont FREAK out....but i hate seeing the plus sign on my card.

i dont know what i will do as far as WW and paying to weigh in. I am paying 24 bucks a month for online services because i like their recipe builder and their tracker but i am paying 12 bucks a week to weigh in....mabye i just log my weigh ins online and quit the 12 bucks a week.......i dunno to early in the unemploy process to tell.
 
that was tmi ...that last post :)

when i was at weight watchers I got a text from my friend that said "your butt looks really cute"....i thought it was funny i got it at WW, and the lesson of the day was to be "positive" not negative about your weight loss...so I sent her back a text that said "I KNOW"...it all stems from her wanting to take a pic of my so that when I call her my pic comes up...well I told her my ass looked hot now so take a pic of that in my new skinnier jeans....LOLOLOLOL
 
Just read some of your diary, gave me a laugh! Sorry to hear about you being laid off, that suckolas.. but you have done so well on your lifestyle change... I can really identify with the wine thing too LOL

Congrats on your weight loss so far, and on your positive attitude!!!!

Cheers!

*Soda water with a twist of course!*
 
Hey you ha ha ha to boob sweat killing your phone! I stick my phone in bra quite often lol and I have a black berry!wouldn't want to have to replace it ouchie! Ei sucks ass!I raised two kids off of 800 a month from those bastards.taneesha was a baby blah oh the joys!that 8 oz is pron a glass of water or stress I would go with stress!and awesome job on the running an almost mile!
 
so i skipped the exercise yesterday. i told myself that one day a week off is good. i went to do my walk/run today and after the first mile my mp3 pooped out because the battery died. So I only did one mile. not good...I needa do more. I am going to go help at skating but usually there is a lot of standing around when i do that.....

feeling like i felt a few weeks ago...at a standstill...i know i must be patient about this weight loss...slow and steady wins the race i guess. if i keep doing the right thing then it will slowly peel off. i really really want to see the 150's....my whole weight watchers card is filled up with 160's and ONE 158...its over a few years (i have gone back and forth). This time is different, I am exercising and eating right.

I am baking a turkey breast....going to look up some longrain rice recipes, we have been doing a lot of veggies and doubling our veggies for dinner in some cases. I think I am ready for some rice.

I know one thing and thats the fact that I MUST journal...I cannot slack on that at all....

well the day is going very well. ttyl...

Dude, I feel you on the mp3 thing. I am music-dependent on the treadmills...

Go ahead and take a break. I'm convinced it helps you from plateauing metabolically. (Don't ask me to back that up with science...) Also, I'm convinced it's good for mental health. :D Avoid unnecessary burnout, yeah?

You'll get there!
 
hey bare! bad pun i know. I am on a happy high so i am saying hello as a fellow michigander (i think i read you were from here) beautiful day today i might ad as well. one day a week is good, heck two is good two. I understand the mp3 thing, but in my growing pains i learned that it is doable without it, it just takes a lot longer, well actually it takes the same amount of time, just FEELS like forever. i am one of the few who evens listens to music at the gym while on the cardio machines. oh well. great work so far! bye for now!
 
Cabbie's back.

What's new, besides your amazing awesomeness? I know, that isn't new. So, you gonna show us pitchas of your hawt new ass?
