Squeeze My Lemons

Lus, you're so much fun, not kidding. Your amusement value is through the roof. It's why I like coming in here. It's the 'pick-me-up' to my day.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a muscular woman. I think that's awesome. You wait and see, by the time you accomplish your goal, you're going to be a sexy, lean, muscular machine. You're finace will be beating off by-passers with a stick. Haha.

CONGRATS on the NEW LOW!! :party:

That is UBERLY exciting. Way to go, chica. I'm proud of ya!!
 
Hey Luscious!

Congrats on the new low... man the 150s would be a dream! Before you know you'll have all sorts of guys up in your girll...;)

I'm kind of jealous of your hot dog gala... I've been craving a good chili dog like whoa, but there aren't any good hot dog places around here... and we had the best little hole in the wall place when I was growing up... no place tastes like home:)

LMBO!

Yep, I thought I needed an extra one to remind me of my waist..lol

My hubby has a 34 for petes sakes.. :eek:

Loved yer list!

Have A Great Day! :hug2:
 
Hey Gals...you've been busy while I've been out. Glad to see all your faces!

Rae...I'm glad I can return the favor, because you're diary is my daily pick-me-up as well. I'm happy with the new low, but it ain't no single-digit jeans like you now fit into! I am so proud of you, little sis.

Brunette...hahaha! That phrase still totally cracks me up. You'll make it down to the 150's too. It's funny how much a number now means. I can't wait until I'm in the 140's. I haven't been there for quite a long time!

Sweatpea...Yes, it's definitely pretty funny. I am such an absolutely ridiculous drunk. I mean, I'm pretty ridiculous all the time but drinking totally puts me way over the top. At least with the c to 5k running program, I might actually have a chance of running faster when I drink too much this summer!

Tyly... I'm glad you enjoyed the list. I think everyone should do one. Its fun to read and it's a good reminder that we don't have to be mountain climbers to be interesting. The best is when you're cracking yourself up as you write it.

Stacy... I think its a great idea to track your measurements. I dated a guy who 6' 3" and weighed 140. It totally sucked....I weighed more than him!!! It was the same case for my parents when they got married. Not a nice feeling! Damn it... we're supposed to be the delicate ones, right.
 
Ooooh hot dogs. They were wonderful. I can't believe how much I was looking forward to them. I had two with, of course, tons of sauerkraut. It was heavenly.

I totally blew my calories, big time. Seriously, I blew it by 1400 calories!!!! It is completely to blame on alcohol. Beer is diet sabotage for me. Not only do they have a lot of empty calories, they totally cause me to eat without abandon. I went way overboard. I swear, I am not going to feel guilty. I always have alcohol related guilt. Not this time...suck it up and move on.

I got a bit of exercise last night. Remember I am in a "tree hugging hippy" program. At a previous event, we made our own hula hoops. I was able to keep it up for over a half hour at a time! It was nice to have a waist to have my hoop go around. LOL. I still am the undefeated arm wrestling champion. I didn't know if I'd be able to still do so well. I thought I might have lost some arm muscle along with the weight loss. It was good to know this wasn't the case. I've got to be the champion of something!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
 
Looks like you had a great time this weekend! I actually ended up a hot dog & burger joint on Saturday... a famous place here called the Varsity... basically shitty food for cheap. Although for two chili dogs, a slaw dog and a cheeseburger it still cost Jeff $9 for not very much food... we were both starving by dinner.

I am impressed that you can hula hoop... I've never been able to do it... and you would think that the more you fill out the hoop the easier it would be... nope!

Hope you have a great week! I love stopping by your diary!

Hula hooping is tough when they're not weighted properly. I remember trying my nephew's a couple years back and I could not get it to work at all. These ones are great. I think the trick is to have enough "junk in the trunk" (you can tell I'm so uncool when I have to put that in quotes) to keep it up. That I definitely have. It was loads of fun. I should get my own , but I can only imagine how ridiculous that would look in my landlord's backyard (I have a basement suite).
 
I am being so strict with my diet this weeks, as I try to make up for Saturday's stupidity. I don't know if its paying of or not, because...get this...I have not pulled out my scale since then. I really truly am going back to weighing myself once a week. The daily up and downs are way more than I can handle. One day I'm on cloud nine. The next I am pulling my hair out. This is some crazy self-induced manic-depressive cycle I'm creating. I really don't want to be institutionalized because of my evil scale. I'll have to wait until thursday to find out if I should scream or sing.

I haven't been out for the couch to 5k for a while so I'm falling behind. I have come down with a cold...well something that is or isn't deciding to be a full blown cold. Anyways, I'm not completely laid up with it yet but I'm scared to push my luck. It's sucky outside and raining, so I'm not sure what to do. Chance it and go for it or hold off. I always get really sick at this time of the year. Of course, it has to be right when I have all of my major deadlines and exams. Happens every darn year. This year, its better than usual but I'm scared to tempt fate. We'll see...I hear Robert Ullery (cto5k podcast guy) calling my name...

As for my deadlines, they are coming along well with not a lot of procrastination mixed in. This is a good sign...maybe I am finally growing up. Yeah right, fat chance. I have fallen in love with one of my assignments, as ridiculous as that seems. It is a group project that is supposed to be 20-25 pages. Well, my portion has ended up being 21 pages on its own and I am in a group of five. This thing is going to be a monster. I am going to apply to be the teaching assistant for this class next year. Wish me luck. I think I have a good chance.

My honey is coming down on Sunday, which is his birthday. I am very excited. Then, on Thursday we are heading back to my hometown for the summer. I have job lined up with a landscape architecture firm there. I worked with them last summer and they are amazing. I think that they are hoping to have me work there after I graduate. This would be wonderful. One less thing to worry about when I finish school. Next April, I graduate. In May, I move. In July, I get married. Having a job lined up would mean that it is one less thing to think about. And I am a worrier. I may seem laid back, but not in my head.

Here's to a good Tuesday, everyone!
 
I haven't added to my Happy List so I'll add a new one:

#1 -- I will have a lot less surface area to shave on my legs.
#2 -- I will be able to sit down, look down at my boobs and not see "the roll" competing for attention.
#3 -- Chubby will refer to babies, erections, and Chubby Checker... and not to me. (If you think of all of those things together, you'll get a really creepy mental image)
 
:seeya: Hi ya, Luscious! Your "about me" list was interesting and very funny! I'll bet you have a ton of pals at Uni, and that you all have waaaaay too much fun! Hmmm...wondering if you are at SFU or UBC or UVIC or what. Can't believe you would actually rather be back in AB - I pined for BC the whole time I was there!!! :driving:

You are doing a great job with your WL. I am right behind you, girlfriend! keep up the great work.

cheers
ABBA
 
My friends here are wonderful and help me get into all sorts of trouble. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) we are all so busy that we hardly ever go out. I'm at UBC.

I pine for AB for the people...my fiance, family, and friends. And for the blue sunny skies that I seldom see in Vancouver. I will really miss BC when I move. Especially when I see the cherries and magnolias blooming and know that I get this pleasure for only one more year. At least I'm only a province away. I spend a lot of time in the rockies so it makes up for it. I love the mountains.

Thanks for the WL thumbs up. You are doing awesome as well!!! You're pics look amazing. Even though my BMI is a bit lower, I don't look anywhere as good as you, yet. Based on your BMI we must be around the same height (5'4")? We must hold our weight differently, or else you're a whole lot more toned than me. You're looking some kinda sexy!

i hate rainy weather! You should come catch some sun in Texas! It hasn't rained in a while here, and its a nice 80 degrees!

I don't know about that my scale is pretty darn sleek and sexy!

So texas sun would be nice right about now, but I definitely couldn't handle the temperatures you guys get in summer.

I glad to see you stop in for a visit trevor!
 
Thanks for stopping in Stacy and Tasha!

I decided to throw caution to the wind and go out for a run... I feel guilty even calling it a run. Running = moving a a higher speed. I hardly qualify for this definition. Anyways, I went out for a run-like session. I don't know if it was my teetering cold or that I haven't ran for almost a week, but it seemed much tougher than usual. I got it done. I am tempted to go out again tonight, but its the 25min straight run and I'm feeling a tad on the wimpy side today. This cold thing is still lingering.

I am slowly trying to eat my fridge and cupboards empty before I leave my place for four months. I'm doing a pretty good job. Now I have to resist the urge to eat out because there's now "nothing to eat". I am definitely down to the dregs of my food supply. I think tomorrow, I'm on to hashbrowns. I love hashbrowns so this isn't a big deal. A balanced meal, however, it is not. Ketchup doesn't count as a veggie. I think I'm going to have to give in and hit the market.

Wow, life has got to be dull when I have an entire paragraph devoted to my dwindling food supply.

Oh here's an interesting story. My poor cat. My cat lives back with my parents, who live on an acreage. Needless to say he is an inside/outside cat. Now that he's getting older, he doesn't stay outside for long. Instead, he has decided to venture outside about 20 times in a day. As a result, my parents can never remember if he's outside or inside. A few nights ago, just as my parents were crawling into bed, they realized that they had no idea where he was. They looked around the house...no cat. My dad opens the back door and low and behold, there is my cat. He was trapped in the four inches of space between the big door and the screen door. He was stuck standing in that tiny space for over a half an hour! I guess when my dad came into the house earlier, my cat snuck in behind him, but didn't manage to get completely in before my dad closed the big door. It pretty funny. Poor cat. Thank go my parents looked for him, or else her would have been there overnight.

LMAO! So are you saying your fiance's a dick? Well, since you'll be seeing him this weekend, you'll be seeing a dick sooner than you thought. :biggrinjester:

Remember I am in a "tree hugging hippy" program.

I've heard there's a lot of that tree hugging hippy stuff in BC. :p

That's great that you have a potential job lined up for after graduation.

Aww...poor kitty. I was reunited with mine today after our little getaway. We were both pretty happy to see each other. :beating:

Kudos for getting back out there running when you're not feeling 100%. I've had a hard time dealing with eating lately, too. :rolleyes:
