starryeyed's diary*

Heya Margaret!
Yes, I was once one of those people who was following the points system, but wasn't really eating that healthily. luckily this time around, I'm taking note to everything I eat- lots of fruit and veggies this time around and not so much chocolate and junk.

I was happy that I did good yesterday- stuck to everything. Only managed 4 glasses of water, but that's okay, I'll make up for it today.

My friend is going to be dressing up as Ginger for the concert, and it's so hard to find a Union Jack flag here, cause she was going to make the dress herself, but from what I hear, she's managed to get a bunch of red, blue and white fabric and she's been sewing crazy mad since last night- there is 9 days until the concert!! One of my other friends is dressing as Posh- very small black dress with some heels; another is Scary- lots of leopard print; and another is Baby- blue dress, hair in pigtails, and she already has the good ol' white platform boots that Emma made so popular back in the 90's- ha ha! I'm going to be the comfiest person at this concert in my track pants and nikes, lol.

I have pilates tonight and it's my last class- so sad :( oh well, i'll stil have my dvd at home so i can keep up with it- and my instructor does private lessons with the pilates machines, so i might look into getting a price quote from her.

anyways, i'm off to shower and get some brekkie. the weekend is finally here!!! woo-hoo!
 
3.5 Baby!!!!!

:party:
So I weighed myself after pilates, and it said i was down 3.5!!!! i'm so excited!!!!!! I will admit that afterwards, we went out for sushi, but at least it wasn't burgers! but then my friend and i got a phone call that another friend of ours had a big blowup with her mom, so we ended up having girls nite, and went to the pub for drinks... and cheesecake. AND IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD. luckily, i split it (...and the ice-cream) between the three of us, and only had 1 drink :Angel_anim: anyways, this is just a quick post before i head to bed, so night night!! :seeya:
 
3.5lb way to go!!!!!

I never really like the spice girls that much to be honest i liked them as they grew a bit and got away fron the whole wannabe side of things but i do like them as people and got to say posh is my fave but sporty is the best singer

I would not say you are materialistic whats wrong with wanting something, working hard and buying it?
Hubby and i always do that we decide what we need look round find the one we want start saving and get it the next thing on my list is a new bed on his a new TV i think i will win this one as always LOL

Anyway well done on the loss your doing really good

Im off to read stacy's diary

Hi Starryeyed

3.5 pounds down is really really really brilliant news.

:party:

See - the scales knew how good you had been.

Weighing experiences dont come much better than that.

No wonder you had a good night out with your friends. I bet you wanted to celebrate. You were sensible to share the treats - if you had eaten a whole portion of cheesecake and ice-cream you would have had to do more extra exercise to burn it back off again. We all deserve a little treat at times and a social life while we are being good. Life is still for living - not put on hold until we are thin.

It sounds like you have really enjoyed your pilates classes. Is your instructor not going to run another course at the same place?

My keep fit teacher is also a pilates teacher but she doesn't do pilates classes at the adult education centre where I go. She does some pilates and yoga exercises in among the mat exercises. I think I like the aerobics part of the class best though. I wish that I could find some more aerobics classes. I would happily do more than one class with aerobics in per week.

Congratulations again.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hi all!!!!

Hope everyone's weekend is going good- mine is! although work today was pretty boring and slow... i went to the mall after work to look for some tattoos for my sport spice outfit, so i got a bit of a walk in there, then i picked up a california roll and a small strawberry orange julius. so in total today i've had...

1 A&C Oatmeal
1 Banana
1 Vector Bar
1 Starbucks
1 California Roll
1 S&B Julius

I know it doesn't look that great, but to me it's pretty awesome, cause I usually gorge out on the weekends... so my habit is slowing being curbed... :smash:

I'm going to my friends house tonight after work so I'll probably not be posting until tomorrow.
Hope everyone had a wicked awesome weekend!

Thanks Margaret and Sarah!! Your posts are keeping me motivated to succeed!!! :Angel_anim:
 
Hi Starryeyed

Well done for staying in control at the weekend. :hurray: It is always difficult to curb a habit - and it is great that you are dealing with yours.

We always have to stay vigilant at those dangerous times we all have.

Be proud of yourself. You are succeeding - you are making your dreams come true.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hi everyone

thanks Stacy & Margaret for your motivational words- very very helpful!!!
i had an awesome time out at my friends last night- my friend going as Ginger is almost finished her Union Jack dress, and it look awesome!! There were four of us hanging out last night, 2 of my friends that are coming to the spice girls' concert with me, and then my 1 friend who was going to, but backed out cause she's having a baby- i think we're all happy she's gaining weight, she's always been the stick who never had to do much to lose weight, always naturally skinny, and the three of us have always been a bit on the bigger side, so we're all dancing about that... it's not a bad thing is it? we all know she's going to lose right after baby comes anyways, so we're relishing in it for now :p

i've been doing good today so far, woke up late, so my eating schedule is a bit off- it's all good though, just checking in- mommy's coming to pick me up soon to take home, so i've gtg get ready!! will report in tonight while working on my paper!!
hope everyone had a good monday! :hug2:
 
Hi Starryeyed

I am pleased that you had a nice time with your friends. You will have to post photos of the crowd of you all dressed up for the concert. It sounds like you are putting a lot of effort into the night out.

There is nothing wrong with you enjoying the skinny girl finding out a bit of what it is like to be bigger.

Well done for being good with your food so far today. Every hour and every meal all are important in helping you to learn new habits and also lose some of those surplus pounds. You know that this is so - you have seen the result at the scales.

I have had a good Monday thanks. As always I have done lots of walking - but also I have sorted out my keep fit and yoga classes for January to March. I am really pleased because I have managed to book onto an extra aerobics / keep fit class to go with the classes that I go to now.

I hope that the work on your paper goes well. I remember working long hours on those when I was doing my degree.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hey you're roughly the same age as me, it's my 21st in December :)

I really like you're diary, especially all the Spice Girls bits :D reminds me of being 10.
 
Starry,

You're really going great! I see you've lost pounds since I last posted. Good for you!

I had a little mishap, but I'm back on track now.

Thanks for stopping by my journal. ;)

Hi Starryeyed

I'm starting to worry about you too.

I do hope that you are ok.

We love you. Let us know how you are.

Take care:hug2:

my lovelies!!!!

sorry to leave you in the dark for such a long time but this past week has been filled with all nighters writing my paper, working extra shifts, and getting costumes ready for SPICE GIRLS tomorrow night. needless to say, i won't be reporting in on my weight this week, but after tomorrow, everything will be a brand new start- until christmas comes at least- i'm really going to try and control myself this time around though. really.
Vancouver got its first snow of the winter today. streets are covered, kids are laughing, cars are skidding and busses aren't running. my pants are wet and my legs are cold... but i love it.
i'm sipping on a diet coke listening to spice girls- have to leave for work in a few minutes, but i thought i'd send you all a note- you've all been in my thoughts for the last week, so hope everyone is doing good!!
ps- i dyed my hair dark brown and got some bangs- totally rockin the sporty spice!

have a great night everyone! i'll try and post pics soon!!!!! :hug2:
 
Hi Starryeyed

I am so pleased to hear that you are ok. It is great that you have been having a busy time with some good times thrown in. Dont worry about a little hiccup in the diet - you will be back on track when you focus after the concert.

I bet your hair looks great with the dye and everything.

You will be so excited.

Have an absolutely wonderful time and let us know how it went. And we definitely do want to see the photos.

:party::party::party:

Take care

Margaret
 
Hi Starryeyed

I am hoping that you had a wonderful time at the concert.

How are things going since then?

Take care:seeya:
Love
Margaret
 
I'm BAAA-AAAAACK

holy cow!!! i didn't think i had abandoned you all for so long!!!! :grouphug: i missed you all!! I've been doing absolutely horribled this past week and a half- which sucks cause i was hoping to be down 6 more lbs by next thursday, but it looks like that ain't happening so new goal: stay on track till next thursday :) I went out and bought some fruit yesterday and some all-bran bars to replace my vector ones :) I don't know what to write about, I've gotta go read up on all your diaries for some inspiration!

hug hugs!!!!
ps- SPICE GIRLS CONCERT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! we were at the very back of the building, but we didn't care! as soon as they came out, all 16,000 of us fans were jumping and screaming for the whole two hours, even more so afterwards! infact, Margaret, I was interviewed by BBC- incase you got a chance to watch the news, you may or may not have seen me!

it's good to be back ladies! :grouphug:
 
Hi Starryeyed,

It's good to have you back.:grouphug:

I am pleased that the concert was brilliant. :party: If there are any bits about the Spice Girls on the tv this week I will pay extra attention in case there are any interviews.

Dont worry about not being where you wanted to be for your birthday. Weight loss goals are just intentions, you have achieved some actual weight loss and will achieve more.

I am sure that you will have a great birthday with the weight loss that you have already achieved.:party:

If you focus now and work hard you may achieve a little more before then and also before christmas.

As you know the really big thing is to focus so that you keep a firm control of your food and do regular exercise. Naturally there will be days (e.g. your 21st birthday, christmas) when you eat other things and maybe skip some / all your exercise. I think that the big thing is to have that as the exception so that the next day you are straight back on track without really thinking of doing differently.

Take care
Love
Margaret
