Squeeze My Lemons

Hey, Lemon. (ever see the show 30 Rock?) Just visiting your diary. I'll have to catch up the whole thing some time when I have nothing to do. (like Cabbie)

:waving:
 
30 Rock...very funny but I haven't watched it for quite a while. (I caught the reference, BTW)

Thanks for dropping in everyone.

Good news and bad news.

I had bootcamp on friday and then went on a field trip where we walked all over the frickin' hillside for 5 hours. My legs were so wobbly that I'm surprised I didn't fall over. LOL. Good news is that I am only moderately sore today. I feel like all my limbs are attached and in working order! Dare I say that my body is already adapting?! I can even squat down on the toilet without hanging on to the walls to help support my weight. Maybe I won't need to use the safety bars in the handicap bathroom stalls anymore.

Bad News: I have caught the mother of all colds. It started at 8pm last night and was in full swing by midnight. My best friend right now is my box of kleenex and it follows me everywhere I go (not that I've made it off my couch much). I walked to the store to stock up on soup, neocitron and cough drops. I ran into my landlord (I'm in a basement suite) who was outside enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. When he realized I was sick he run upstairs to give me giant bowl of homemade soup. How nice is that? It was absolutely delicious.

I also stocked up on old cheap rental movies on my way home. Note: not a good idea to watch tear-jerker movies with and already runny nose and stuffed sinuses. By the time I made it to the end of The Color Purple, I though my head would explode. LOL.

Now it back to hopping myself up on pseudophedrine. Now that I'm eating into my sudafed supply, I guess I'll have to make a smaller batch of meth next time. LOL. No seriously, don't do drugs, kids.

LMAO@that! Glad to see your cold hasn't ruined your sense of humor. And yes, renting tearjerker movies when your nose is already running quite well thank you is a bad idea. :D

Glad the boot camp is getting better and that you are doing well. I knew you could do it! Congrats on the dump and the weight loss. I took a huge one today, and wished it'd happened before I ate so I could re-weigh myself. I bet it would've been 2lbs lower. :smilielol5:

Aww..isn't your landlord a sweetie? :beating:

I guess I wouldn't have figured you for the tear jerker type...

Sorry I can't help you cook up your next batch, but if you need any oxycontin...

Seriously, the only damn decongestant on the market that works worth a crap and I feel like I'm registering as a sex offender every time I go to buy it. You know, license, signature, finger prints, retinal scan, DNA work up... just so that I can breathe through my nose?

Hope you're feeling better.
 
Oh man. My cold is starting to get a bit better. Of course it had to be during the nicest warmest stretch of days. I'm still snotting up the joint. I've finished an entire box of decongestant and cough drops, but things are finally looking up.

Bootcamp got canceled because there was not enough people enrolled. What, people don't like punishment? I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved. Now I'm moving on to Plan B when this cold starts to lift. I'm going to check out my community center gym. At $17 a month it can't be beat! I could upgrade it to $39 and get admission to any community centre gym and pool in the city. The idea of a sauna and hot tub in the winter is mighty tempting... not to mention the flexibility of location. I'm going to stop in for a tour or get a day pass to see what its like.

Kimmie-- yup it would take a hell of a lot to drop my questionable sense of humor a few notches. LOL.

Cabbie-- I'm not normally a big tear-jerker type, but I have to say that I must have been feeling sorry for myself. I wanted to wallow in misery...and it worked. Oxycontin...do you have a pager number that comes with the job description? Getting pseudoephedrine in Canada isn't nearly as bad. Its still over the counter but in a "monitored area". Isn't it funny they regulate cold meds because you may be a meth addict, yet your runny nose and sniffling makes you look like a coke addict? Hmmm. Remember "Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts" on SNL? I just had a flashback, there.
 
I remember the "deep thoughts" bit where he was discussing the idea of a chocalate revolver as being a great gift for a president, and how someone should run up and hand it to him because his schedule was so busy...

MMM... Hot tubs... Oh wait, you're talking about public ones. That does limit the aerobic qualities available to you... legally.

Haha. I think my fiance will be relieved to know that its public as well. Those *aerobic* activities can't be happening while he lives in one province and I live in another. I don't think I can sell him on the idea of my finding a new *hot tub personal trainer*.

LMAO!!!:smilielol5::smilielol5:

"Honey, this is Sven, my new naked hot tub aerobics instructor":leaving:
 
If only. I think we've hit on something, there. We just might have the newest fitness craze. I can see a major spike in hot tub disinfection products as well. :ack2: It might be a good joint venture. "Register for three Kama No-Swim-Sutra sessions and get 50% off Kama No-Swim-Sutra disinfection tablets " Brilliant!
 
Glad to hear your cold is clearing up. Sorry to hear that your bootcamp class has been canceled.

WTG on the weight loss! :cheers2:

You know what the Color Purple is the only movie I ever saw my dad cry while watching.
 
I have fantastic news to share. I got on the scale today and I now weigh 141.6!!! I lost 2.8lbs last week! Only 1.6lbs from my goal. Woo hoo!!!

:party:
 
Way to go on the loss!! Sorry to hear about the cold. I've been surrounded by sickies this past week and am scared I'm going to catch it. I'm doing my best not to catch it and hoping that this one just bypasses me this time.

-Sam
 
Of course you realize that when you hit your goal, which appears to be mere moments away, you will have to take some after pictures of "the lemons" :reddevil:

Anything less would be a let down for your adoring public...
 
Too bad the boot camp was cancelled. Being the sadist that I am, I was enjoying hearing your stories of being tortured. :reddevil:

Anyway, it sounds like it was helping with the weightloss since you dropped a heap o' weight last week. :hurray:

Congrats on being sooo close to your goal. You must be thrilled. :party:

I'm totally grossed out by the hot tub idea..lmao. Although Sven sounds damn good. :D
 
Okay my body is playing mean tricks on me. This is why I don't weigh myself everyday. The last two days I have weighed in a couple pounds higher than I should be. Now I know that I have been behaving, so my body is just being mean. It knows how much I want to reach my goal by this thursday. This thursday marks the end of the third quarter for the "hotties in 2008" thread. This also marks the third time that I have not hit my target. This is pissing me off. Enough already!

I am starting to get a bit concerned about a realization I am having. I'm so close to my goal and I am now starting to feel that 140 isn't low enough. Now my goal is not feeling like much of a goal, more like a step. I should be so happy to reach 140 and so happy to stay there, but I'm not. This is ridiculous. I was happy when I was 140 once upon a time. Can I be happy with it again? Okay now I'm just whining. :nopity:

Sammy- Thanks! I still have the clogged sinuses, but their getting better. Hopefully you miss the cold-trading!

Cabbie- Trust me. I will be posting afters...I've been waiting a full year to post afters!

Kimmie- Thanks! Don't worry once this cold passes I'll find some new body-torture to keep you amused. I'm thinking of taking up swimming...like drowning stories? Yes Sven is wonderful! The thoughts of him put me to sleep at night.

I wish I had your current issue! Not the part about not hitting the goal, the part about being so damn close to it that it is getting difficult to get there. I have a long way to go before I have your "problem".

I'm guessing yes, but you'll have to reconcile it in your own head. You said you were happy with 140 before? Here is my take on it. Between boot camps and other methods of self torture you have probably developed a much leaner body than you had when you used to be 140 naturally, so...
It'll take some work to keep it maintained, but your level of overall "hotness" will have improved :drool5: (never a bad thing right?).

BTW, it will keep Sven happy

Good point. Maybe I need to shift away from a "weight goal" into having a "fitness goal". More like wanting to run a 5K or simply putting on a bit more muscle at the gym rather than hitting a target number. If weight loss is a byproduct, so be it. Then again, the goal of feeling hot in a bikini is mighty tempting. This would definitely need more fat (and in general weight) loss... slippery slope in deed.

I've been there before--the best advice I have is to relax, continue on your trajectory with diligence, and when you hit 140, concentrate on maintenance to see if that's doable before you go on to lose more weight. OR better yet, work on toning, and upping your fitness level like you mentioned--it should really put things in perspective when the time comes :)
