"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Elle's diary

[ellebelle1]

Just worked out and am about to take a shower.

Only got in 20 mins of mixed pilates/yoga and 25 of tae bo in but that's alright, I still feel good that I did something. I plan on doing some more tonight but right now I have to hop in the shower cause David's coming over and we'll probably end up going out and doing something. Even if we were to stay home who wants to sit by a grody looking darrelle... not me and I doubt he'd want to either. lol.

Off to the the shower I go.

Weighed myself just a few minutes ago when I woke up and as I was standing on the scale I was thinking to myself 'pleaaaaaase let me be in onderland, pleaaaaase dammit!'. And ya know what?...

I'M IN ONEDERLAND!

I weigh 199.5lbs!
It felt so good to see my weight begin with a '1' rather than a '2'. I haven't seen it say that in awhile. It makes me feel like my goal isn't so far away now. I know it's still 64.5lbs away but it just feels closer!

Today marks week 3 since I started this whole journey and I've lost 13lbs so far. I'm pretty excited at my progress and if I keep this pace and don't hit a super stupid plateau, I'll be losing this weight in no time.

Well, I'm going to go get some cheerios, then sit for a bit. Once the good ole' food settles I'll do some tae bo and then some pilates. I plan on getting my ass kicked today and ya know what? It's gonna be awesome!

Hope everyone has a great day.
Keep losing, losers!
xoxo

Woohoo Congrats on being in Onderland. I bet it felt great to see that staring back up at you. I know just seeing the 250 on the scale for me was amazing since I haven't even been that low for at least a year. Anyways Congrats hope you had a great day.

Thanks Heather! I can't even explain how it felt to see that on the scale. But I'm sure you know as you said you haven't seen 250 in awhile also. :] You are doing awesome yourself missy!

 

[ellebelle1]

Thanks girls for stopping by and being so fabulous!! I love you all!

Yesterday was a pretty good day if I do say so. David came over and we had to go meet a few friends so we did that but on the way there we stopped at a gas station and I picked up a sugar free rockstar. I have to say that it was really good. 20 calories for the whole can, 0g sugar, 0g carbs. I enjoyed and was guilt free.

Met up with our friends and such. Then after that David and I went to Dicks to look at exercise equipment and things of the like. They have a TON of shit that I want. It's so funny that now instead of wanting purses and shoes I want exercise equipment. lol. Went to a few other stores but I'll spare you the details. :]

Came home and ate lunch then we decided to go play baseball in the backyard. I haven't played baseball in like 6 years so it was a ton of fun. I was running constantly because that damn boy can't miss one pitch. I think that maybe once I get down to my goal that I'm going to join a softball league because I was always good at baseball but never played on a team because of my retarded anxiety.

Did a bunch of other shit then my sister came over and showed me the pictures of her daughter (my niece) because they just got them back and they are sooo cute. I guess that she's in a book of sample pictures at target and she might be in a target print ad, which is sooooooo awesome!

Started watching a movie with david and my mom and I was dozing off so David and I came up stairs and I passed out.

Woke up to David panicing thinking that he was late. Turns out he's just silly and was right on schedule. He left for work and I weighed myself. Still 199.5 which is fine by me. I had a bit more carbs yesterday than I usually do so I was worried that I'd be back up in the 200's but I guess the baseball might have helped.

Oh! I bought a new pilates dvd yesterday so I plan on doing that on the days that my knee is a bit too sore to do tae bo. :]

Okay, I'm going to either try and get another hour in or eat breakfast. I don't know which yet. I'll look at everyones journals once I get back on here.

Hey Elle, just thought I'd pop in to say hello and see how you're doing. Sounds like you are just fine. Getting in some softball, eating right, etc. And, still in onederland, and you're only going down from there.

 

[Bellaryna]

Onder Woman

Hey Elle!

I don't like weeks like this because it always feels like I didn't really have any time off to enjoy and them I am right back to work. BLAH!
Keep up the good job of keeping busy and eating right.
Your doing it Elle!!!
You are OnderWoman!!! hahaha
Do you need a sidekick?
Bellaryna

Hey gf just dropping in to wish you a great Friday. Also, just keep this in mind, your weight fluctuates constantly, so if it goes back to the 2's, don't frett. Your weight can fluctuate to 5lbs over a 24 hr period due to water retention. If anything, keep up with working out like you've been doing... then weigh yourself a week after or so. You're doing great, doll.

[AmbaLove]

I can;t wait to be in Onederland...I seem to be plateaued, no change really in 2 weeks...hoping to change that and be more like Elle, my hero of the day.

 

[momma4alex]

Hey elle, Sounds like you have been pretty busy the last few days. I've never been good at softball i guess its something to do with the balls being thrown at me.. lol anyways keep up the great work.

 

[ellebelle1]

Thanks Kimberly, Bella, Sheryl, Amber & Heather for stopping by!!! You all are awesome!

Kimberly- Thanks for the awesome words. :]

Bella- I definitely agree with the not feeling like there's any time to relax during these silly busy weeks. :/ lol about (onder/wonder)woman. I had a wonder woman costume when I was younger and I refused to take it off. lol. I have a ton of pictures of me in it, I must scan one!!

Sheryl- Thanks hun for stopping by and for the advice. I definitely gained 1lb from yesterday to today but that's fine by me. :] I haven't taken a "major dumpage" in a few so I think that couuuuuld be the problem. lol. I need an exlax! tmi, sorry. haha

Amber- I'm sorry about the plateau :[ One of my good friends is losing weight right now too and she's been on a plateau for about 2 weeks also and is hating it. I'm sure you'll be off of it soon, you've been doing SO great! And you've still been losing inches which is awesome and in my mind, more satisfying than the numbers on a scale. I feel honored to be a hero for a day!

Heather- I have a bit of a problem with balls being thrown at me too, just the fact that they hurt like hell when ya get hit. lol And plus that, we don't want to ruin our gorgeous faces now do we?!?!

 

[ellebelle1]

Gained a pound today. Back to 200.5lbs. I'm definitely okay with that though. I haven't had a b.m. in a few days so I'm assuming that has something to do with it. I always had one every few days before I started changing what I was eating so now it's been a little bit more spaced than that. lol. sorry for the tmi.

David came over last night after work. We went to target and picked up a new pilates mat for me. It's not actually a pilates mat, it's some reebok one that's a bit thicker than the pilates and yoga mats. Seeing as how my floor is well... hard I needed something that was a bit more cushioned.

Today I'm gonna do tae bo and pilates so that should be fun.

We had some badass storm here yesterday. I guess it wasn't really horrible for long but it was gloomy all day yesterday. Thunder started rolling in and lightning and some strong winds. I thought power was going to go out so I brought down a bunch of candles to the living room. Started raining and branches were falling all over my yard. :/ Of course it had to happen right after it was picked up. grrrrr! Stopped raining later on but the winds kept up all night. Didn't help that David an I were watching 'The Hills Have Eyes 2' and my house was making some seriously weird noises. lol.

Well I'm gonna go visit all of your diaries and see what I missed out on the past few days then it's exercise time.

I'm making dinner tonight for my mom so that should be interesting. Nothing big, just pasta with meatballs and probably gonna make something for dessert seeing as how I have all these fresh raspberries and blackberries that we picked from a local farm the other day. Making the meatballs should be um... fun cause I hate touching raw meat. ick. oh well, I'll live. :]

you gotta be fucking kidding me. Mormons at my fucking door.

No tmi--I've had the same problem. I just start eating lots of fiber, and that usually does the trick. I'm sure that's why you're up a pound. Don't sweat it--well, maybe you could sweat it off! lmbo.

Mormons!! At your door??!! So did you follow Jenna's method of asking them confusing questions until they were ready to become Hari Krishnas? Or did you handle it ala Sheryl and threaten to shove their pamphlets up their polygamy-loving asses? Hope there are no mormons reading this!!!

I like their methods better but I followed the method of hiding in my house because I'm a pussy. lol. I looked out the window to try and take a pic with my camera to post on here and the bitch must have heard my tv on so she was looking up at it and completely saw me. whoops! So I definitely didn't get a picture. :[ After she realized I wasn't coming down, they got in their car and left. I then called my father and left him a very nasty message about given the mormons my address.

See, I moved last october and that was a huge relief because they would drop by my house at least once a week. When I moved, they didn't know my new address. Theeeeeen my father decided to give them my new address. So they stalk me now. fucking mormon assholes.

I mean don't get me wrong, I don't care what religion anyone is as long as they don't try and push it on me I'm cool. But once you start come knocking on my door and inviting yourself in, I get pissed.

I used to let the male missionaries come over when I lived at my last house because one of them was fucking GORGEOUS and instead of talking about mormon things we'd just talk about random things and stare at each other lovingly. He would even do dishes with me and help me clean. His partner or whatever would try and get us to talk about the book of mormon but we just ignored him. When he was scheduled to go home it was kind of sudden so we never got to the chance to say goodbye and exchange numbers, which totally sucks because I would have jumped him in a second no matter what religion he was.

god he was beautiful. lol.

So you followed the Kimberly method of dealing with them. I run and hide, too...lmbo I guess we're both pussies..

That is hilarious about the hot mormon dude. But it's a good thing he's gone, otherwise you'd probably be wife #6 by now..lmbo I know, most mormons aren't polygamous anymore---but if he's as hot as you say he is, he probably has a harem of wives bigger than my harem of hotties.
