SunnyDee's Diary

I feel good today! Highly motivated and refreshed. I'm making today the day that I really start kicking this plateau's ass. I'm sick of this lack of progress, so I'm really gonna do something about it. I need to be as serious about losing these last few lbs as I was about losing the first few. It's time to be accountable again. Also, I'm going to do something a little different this month. I'm not going to weigh-in on the last of the month. I'm going to wait until Sept 7. Lately, the scale is just discouraging me, so I want to wait until I know I'll have made some real progress before I weigh myself again. I'm pretty sure I can hit 150 by Sept 7. If not, I'm going to think the cosmos is playing a nasty trick on me! Anyway, until then, I'm hiding the scale in the closet.
I'm off to the gym shortly. I have a feeling it will be a very aggressive workout today. lol
 
Breakfast

1 cup fieldberry yogurt
1/4 cup granola

It turned out to be an awesome workout! I had tons of energy and didn't want to stop. Now I feel great! I hope this positive attitude sticks around. It's been really discouraging trying to get back to my ticker weight because that doesn't feel like real progress. But I'm not feeling bad about it anymore. It's only a couple of lbs. I know I'll get back there and then I'll drop those last 5 lbs and comfortably maintain from then on. That'll be a nice feeling. :)
 
Morning all! Once again, I'm looking forward to a successful day.
I didn't count my cals yesterday, but I think they may have been a little high due to the large supper and the Starbucks caramel apple cider. It's hard to say. I should really be using fitday, but I find that hard too because I don't measure or weigh my food. I just guess how much I ate, so it's probably just as well to guess how many cals were in it.
It was very had to resist the urge to take the scale out of the closet this morning. I probably should have weighed myself yesterday before I started this whole "I mean business" thing. But that's it... the scale has been put away and I'm not weighing until Sept 7. *sigh*
I have another no-obligations day. I love this! Haha So, my plans are to hit the gym in an hour or so, come home and do some cleaning, go to the mall to pick up some little "welcome home" gift for Matt, and then laze around in front of the computer or TV. Sounds lovely, no?

Mornin' :)

Your day sounds kick-ass to me! Me, I got up early, was in the gym by about 7:45 and now am in work and will be here till 7pm :( But... I didn't have the MCATs recently and I don't ever want to experience the pain that is an exam that lasts that long so.... I guess I won't whine too much ;)

Enjoy your day!
 
Heehee. Sorry that you're working hard while I get to be a lazy-ass. :p

Today's workout wasn't as good as yesterday's. It was still good, but it left me feeling exhausted. A good workout leaves my body feeling fatigued, but my mind and soul feeling more alert. Today I just felt zonked afterward. I couldn't do legs or glutes today because my muscles were quite sore. My glutes were so achy that while I was running, I was fully aware of every little butt jiggle! :p

My mom made me a big bacth of blueberry muffins while I was home and I brought a bunch back with me when I left. She was nice enough to make them low-fat too. :) The damn things are always taunting me. I've had one almost everyday since Wednesday. I can't let them go to waste. They're homemade MOM muffins, for God's sake! I thing I'll just freeze them so I can't eat them on impulse.
 
Hey Sunnydee,
lol every but giggle huh :)
I know the experience all to well. My butt jiggles and the chest area giggles ...lol

but I think I need to join the gym or something, do something drastic.. not that the gym is drastic ..at this point compared to everything else I think some pilates aerobics would do me good for twenty five minutes and some aerobics freely for ten would do me good and work on my tummy .. my tummy is my problem area ..and the aerobics makes the tummy smaller ..

the tummy is so far out ...that it is farther out that the chest ..if you know what I mean

but I am down another pound


do you have any suggestions?

I am so stuck..

always
your friend
natalie jo

and fatigued is good ..hope you got some much needed rest ... :) **big smile**

My knees might be chubby, but the rest of my leg is just huge. I have very muscular legs, so they probably weigh a ton. I was always very ashamed of them, but not so much anymore.

Never ashamed! My legs carry a lot of my weight, too! Got to love their functionality! Your figure is lovely, so nice and feminine! Lucky girl, geat smile! :)

My friends keep telling me to switch to light beer, but god damnit, I'm a Newfie! It's simply a change I cannot make.

Speaking of celebrations... Matt comes home in 6 days! *bow chicka bow wowwww* I've already got my dirty little ensemble picked out for when he walks in the door. lol Forgive me if I disappear again for a few days. I'm hoping I'll be quite busy. ;)

Fuck light beer!

All right for the dirty little ensemble!
To sulk slightly, there will be none of that for me--but good news, I LOVE sleeping alone now! YAY! I've adjusted! No sweaty stinky males in my bed making me have to change the sheets more often! :D

I'd have to freeze them, I can't really resist things like that (baked goods). Glad you're resolved and kicking ass! People claim summer makes them lose weight but me, you AND Rachie at least have gained this summer

I definitely don't have the chest jiggle problem... lol Maybe you need to get some really good, supportive sports bras. They're often pricey, but I hear they're worth it.

I'll comment on your tummy issues over at your diary in a few mins. :)

Thanks. :) I appreciate my figure. I've never had any major problem areas or parts that look disproportionate. I've never really wanted my shape to change, just the size of it. I just want to be a scaled-down model of myself. Haha

I left a couple of muffins out and stuck the rest in the freezer. That should help. :) Not that they were terribly bad, but they did act as one more thing to munch on when I should have been munching on fruits and veggies.
 
Morning! As Val said - how come we gained weight in the summer instead of losing!!! Here's to the coming weeks and months being more successful for everyone!! :)
 
I know. It's not fair, eh? We'll turn it around. We're strong, capable women. This minor weight setback won't stop any of us in the long run. :D Yay us!

I can't believe I can finally say this... Matt will be home the day after tomorrow! Wow... These 4 months went way too fast. I hope the next 4 don't go so quickly. I hate looking back and wondering where the time went.

Also, I need these next 8 months to go by slowly because Matt has just been offered a job in Calgary when he graduates in May. That means that he'll be moving far away from me, but not just for 4 months this time. :( *sigh* I think I'm heartbroken. I'm happy for him because it's a great job and great money and it will open so many doors for him for the future, but of course I'm also sad and a little angry. He wants me to come with him because I will also be graduating then, but I have a lot of things to consider before I could decide to move so far away. If I get into med school, then I definitely can't go with him... and that sticks me here for 4 years, while he's on the other side of the country. Uggghhhh... I shouldn't even be thinking about this right now. It tortures me inside. :( For the past 2 years of the 4 we've been together, I've been certain that this is it... That we'd be together, get married, have babies, have grandbabies, retire, get old. Now I have no idea what will happen. I know I could just say, "Don't go", and he wouldn't go. But I can't do that. I wouldn't want to take this opportunity from him and I certainly wouldn't want him to resent me. Anyway, I'm not going to think about it right now.

Happy thoughts!

There are med schools there, but provinces have to give preference to their own students. For example, one third of the med students at my university have to be from Newfoundland. So if I was to apply to med school in Alberta, my chances of getting in would be quite low.
