Starting Over

Blancita said:
Hey Amy, you need to change your ticker back to the weight tracker as I've lost track of your prior weight! But you sound excited so I can see you lost! Yay!!! But how much?! A whole pound would be great :).

Eating a bit more could also be accounting for things. Dont you have that RMR test appointment coming up?

I was 172 at the end of the July challenge and now am 169. So that's 3lbs. It has taken me 8 months to lose 10lbs. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get to the 160's. My goal for October 1st is 165.
 
The benefit party is finally over!!! We made $1,000 so that made me happy. It couldv'e been ALOT more but the lead singer of the band had to act like a fucking douche that night. Here's what happened:

We showed up early that day to decorate and for the band to set up their equipment. Sean and I are good friends with the drummer and the lead guitarist and their wives. They are both pilots in Sean's squadron. The other two guys are in the AF and work in Maintenance so I never met them until that day but had been corresponding via email for weeks. So the lead singer who is obviously an immature little punk immediately gets on my nerves by trying to boss everybody around and run the show. He was acting like her was some kind of fucking rockstar or something. He had a HUGE head about getting this gig with us because it was in a very popular hotspot bar on the river in downtown Little Rock. "I" offered them the gig because the other guys are our friends and because they are really good. The thing is the band is awesome, the lead singer not so much. You couldn't tell him that. He was strutting around like he was fucking Steven Tyler. So me being the sweet angel I am I said "hey rockstar! come here a minute. Let's get this straight, YOU are only PART of the entertainment tonight, nothing else. This is my team's show and tonight is about raising money for a great cause, not about YOU." He wasn't too happy but I THOUGHT he got the point.

We start taking money at the door around 7:45pm and we had some more punks come through the door and got all pissed off because there was a $10 admission. The lead singer comes up to me and says "they get in free". I swear, he was BEGGING me to kick him in the balls. I told him that NOBODY gets in free so the punks leave. I go to the bathroom in the back which is next to the backdoor and I catch the little bastard letting his punk ass friends in the back door! I said "oh hell no!. I made them pay me the money and I drug him out back with my husband and the rest of the band. After a good 5 minute ass chewing by me and the other guys he says "okay okay, I got it". Lying little fucker.

THEN, i am sitting 10 feet away from the table with the t-shirts we are sellig for $15 and I watch him grab one, stuff it in hos pocket and carry it to one of the other little fuckers and hands it to him where he proceeds to stuff it down his pants. I officially lost my temper. I walked over and jeked him away by the arm and then proceeded to explode all kinds of expletives onto his sorry ass. I called him a fucking douchebag (funny huh?) and told him he was pretty pathetic for stealing from a charity and that I would cancel his ass and give everybody their money back if he didn't pay me back the fucking money he had just stolen. Their was much more but that is the summarized version. My husband found it very entertaining. He promised to get the money and kept apologizing. Throughout the show he kept telling the crowd how awesome I was and basically kept blowing smoke up my ass the whole night.

The problem is that I caught the punks he let in letting 20 other people in the back door for free. I got the owner of the bar involved and he threatened to kick them out. I still didn't get the admission out of them though.

I get back to my table and my friend Lisa shoves a martini into my hand and says "you need vodka!" Yes, yes I did. And I ashamed to say that I smoked my first cigarette in almost two years. It helped me relax a bit and I do not plan to have another.

The show was great regardless of the assholes who tried to mess things up. $1000 is beter than no money at all for the fundraiser. I would still love to kick the little fucker in the balls for being such an ass.
 
After reading all of that... all I have to say is.... Holy fuck... was I writing that? LMAO!!! God, I love you, Amy! hahaaaaa Well, I'm happy that you made $1000. That's awesome! Also... since I've been away and haven't posted lately... congrats with getting into the 160s, girl!!!! I'm so proud of you! I'm sure if you keep up with the tweaking, you'll get to 165 by October, doll. Once again.. congrats with the fundraiser and the weight loss, girl!

Haha! Thanks Sheryl. I wore the dark denim like you suggested and a dark brown top with pointy toed brown heels. I wore a chunky necklace with different color earth toned beads and big funky earrings. I wore my hair straight because I ran out of hair gel and didn't have time to get more. Looking at pictures I wish I would have gelled it. Thanks for the clothing tips, I got tons of compliments!

Thanks B! I think it's more a really bad temper rather than balls. Either way, the little fucker paid for it.

Guess what? I was curious so I stepped on the scale a few minutes ago and 168!! I think I will change my ticker. I would not still be working so damn hard at this if it wasn't for you and the other WLF members being so motivating and kicking my ass when I started feeling sorry for myself or started lagging. Thanks so much for that!
 
You lost another pound?! That is great! What is your secret, woman? Do you think its the LC, or the higher cals, or the synthroid or what? As far as I've seen, you've been incredibly disciplined the whole time and its starting to pay off.

Oh wait a minute! That means you weighed 168 tonight after a full day of eating, so I'm pretty sure the scale will be even lower in the morning. Hopefully you'll weigh yourself tomorrow AM so we can see! Sheesh, I'm so damn pokey :rolleyes:.

I was up to 170 this morning but I'm pretty sure it's due to a high sodium dinner of cajun chicken, green beans and 1/2 cup of cous cous. I drank 3 bottles of water before bed and barely peed this morning so I know it's water retention. I am going to drink tons of water today to flush my system for tomorrow morning's weigh-in.

I was so doing the "carlton dance" when I saw 168 on the scale last night. My husband walked in and died laughing at me. I am trying not to get my hopes up with the weight loss because I have had so much disappointment this past year. I don't want to lose a few then stop for another 6-10 months again. That would suck.

Oh yah... that cajun food will definitely do that. haha But damn it's so good... haha As for doing the "carlton"... OMG that's too funny! I did the same damn dance when I hopped on the scale and saw 173! LMAO! Whoah... you may just be my long lost sister... HA! Don't worry about getting your hopes up.. just keep it up.. whatever you're doing. I'm curious with Blancita... have you figured out what made the weight drop? LC? Synthroid?

I'm not sure if it's the synthroid or the LC. Whatever the hell it is, I'll fucking take it! The past year has been total hell!:jump:
 
Dont worry, scales always seem to go back up temporarily after a good loss. Carlton Dance, I was like "???", from Fresh Prince? Ha ha.
 
Here's some of the pics from the benefit party:

Yes that is my husband biting another man on his nipple. The awesome mullet guy and the scraggly guy are who we nicknamed "Mullet Man" and Homeless Guys Who Drinks Miller Light". No, there are no pics of me. As you can probably tell, they ran out of alot of liquor by the end of the night.

I don't have any of my own but if you look at my friends on my myspace page and go to "Stretch", you will see me and Sean in their pics. I'm a little heavy lidded from all the alcohol!
