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

Today David and I went and did some running around. Had to do a bunch of bs at verizon... verizon, you suck! He had to put in a rental application someplace down the road from me. Bank. And we stopped at the music store so I could pick up a guitar songbook that I've been coveting for awhile. And I finally got it, yay me! Then we went to the ymca to see how much a membership would be. It's not that bad in comparison to the gym we were thinking about joining. And plus at the y, they have a ton more things there than just equipment. So I think we'll be joining in the next few months. :D

Hey elle, to answer your question on how I make my shakes. I use a regular blender and grind anywhere from 2-4 ice cubes then add in my fruit of choice for that day and blend that and the ice together then mix in the yogurt and milk if i decide to put it in and blend until smooth. If the fruit has seeds then i take a small hand held strainer and strain the seeds out of it then serve and enjoy. lol it is a great and fast way to get in a serving of fruit into my diet. Hope this helps.

Ah, petting zoos. I love them.

At our zoo here, we can also feed the giraffes, which is fun, but slobbery. They grab the food with these foot long tongues and totally slime you.

Enjoy the maze, those are a lot of fun...but they kind of creep me out.

giraffes?!?! That's so cool! lol. I can just imagine a hand dripping with slobber. :p
The maze was a fun time. :] They kind of creep me out too just for the fact that there's practically no way out unless you know the way. Granted, at this one you have a giant flag thing to wave if you want out but stiiiiiiiiill. lol. I'm a pussy who's scared of everything. :eek:

:] I hope we join too! Joining a gym with David would be awesome seeing as how he's a freakin workout/fitness fiend.
I'm not that fab of a guitar player. lol. I used to play years ago the stopped and lately I've gotten back into it. Just trying to brush up again and been thinking about possibly start some stupid little coffee house duo thing with David. :p But if I do ever somehow become some crazy rockstar, you'll all be getting some big ass crazy gifts. lol

ooooh! yay Heather! I think I may have to try that sometime this week, they always sound so good when I read about 'em in your diary. :] Thanks for that chicky!
 
been reading through your journal :) very interesting

so how has your weight loss into the 100's gone? im trying SO hard to get out of the 200's and into the 100's it seems to be taking forever. I'm averaging only 2lbs loss a week, was curious as to how your weeks go by?

hope u had a good monday :)
 
I'm back!
So my weekend went pretty well.
Friday night, David and I went over to my sister's house and had a few beers. I only had like 4-5 just cause I didn't want the following morning to be deathly. (aka: beer shits while in a giant field of corn with no way out.)
Saturday we went and did the maze and saw my little goat friends. :] got some pictures with the cell so if they ever decide to show up in my e-mail, I'll post one. Rented a movie from redbox, premonition. It was pretty good, not sure what I thought of the ending though.
Sunday David and I slept in pretty late and then went to Lowes so he could get some junk to fix a gas leak on his car. All over my head. :doh: Went to return the movie and grabbed another... the messengers. Okay, so I'm a chickenshit when it comes to scary things (i.e. scared to go downstairs in my house at night) so this movie was not a good choice for me. But I wanted to see it so badly because it seemed like it'd be good. Got it came home and watched it, really good but I was cuddled up to David the whole time. lol.

Today, I didn't do much. Returned the movie and then went to target. Saw some super cute bedding which I must go buy this week. :D Came home, ate dinner, watched some mindless tv, random other shit and here I sit. A migraine hit a little bit ago but I ate a few excedrin and it seemed to help a little. My neck is still really tense though and my head's a bit sore. Oh well, I'm living. :]

As for weight loss... My weight's been crazy lately. Last night before I went to bed, I somehow weighed 193.5 but this morning I woke up and weighed 190.5. Crazy, but I'm not complaining. I want to be in the 180's already!! Hopefully it'll come soon. :]

The way into the 100's has been interesting, very exciting though.
My weeks are usually only down 1.5 pounds or so. I do my weeks starting/ending on Thursdays but I weigh everyday.

July 26: 212.5#
Aug 2: 206# (6.5# from prev)
Aug 9: 201# (5# from prev)
Aug 16: 199.5# (1.5 from prev)
Aug 23: 198# (1.5# from prev)
Aug 30: 196.5# (1.5# from prev)
Sept 6: 194.5# (2# from prev)
Sept 13: 192.5# (2# from prev)
Sept 20: 191.5# (1# from prev)

In the beginning I lost a lot each week but now It's started to slow down. During those weeks, even though I might have only lost 1.5 by the offical week marker... I usually lost more but then gained it and didn't get all of it off by the day.

I'm sure you'll get into Onderland soon! you've already lost 11lbs and that's a great start! You're only 10lbs away from it right now :) But I know how you feel on it taking forever. When I was a few pounds away, my weight was fluctuating like mad. Just keep on doing what you're doing and it'll come soon enough!!

Okay, so I just babbled on foreveeeeeeeeeeeeeer! :p
 
Because I took that excedrin, the caffeine made me all shakey and crap. So even though it's too late to eat I had to grab something. I got a yummy apple and a half cup of vanilla yogurt. I feel guilty for eating but the shakes got simply unbearable. :[ oh well, gotta do what I gotta do.

That is all.
xoxoxox
 
So I doubt anyone here listens to Atreyu (I could be wrong) buuuuuuut...
Their new album SUCKS crucial amounts!
It's definitely not atreyu at aaaaaaaall. I mean come on... the title track is a fucking country song. I'm used to crazy screaming in their tracks. Alex sings horribly off key in this because he's trying to actually sing. It's too soft for me. They officially lost me as a fan.


What the fuck were they thinking?
I smell Atreyu's version of the black album.
WTF!

I finally got to sleep last night (er... this morning) at like 6am. Wow, it's been awhile since I've been up that late/early (whatever). I blame it on the migraine.

When I woke up today, I stepped on the scale and it saaaaaaaaaid...
189!!!!
That made me do a little dance in the bathroom. :D

I'm pretty excited to finally be in the 180's. :] I'm sure my weight will fluc though and I'll be back into the 190's at somepoint this week but hey... at least I'm there now. :]

I've got a bunch of cleaning to do. ugh. Then I've gotta work out and figure out what imma make for dinner tonight. David's coming over and we're thinking of maybe having a fire in the yard. Don't know for sure yet though.

Well, Imma go snoop around the forums for a bit then I gotta get my booty into gear. :)

:] Thanks Faye!
I'm not even quite sure what the 180's dance was. It was kind of a carlton from fresh prince mixed with elaine from seinfeld. lol. It was by no means a sexy dance, just an "I'm crazy" kinda dance. :p
 
hehe those spontaneous crazy dances are the best

my boyfriend finds it hilarious when i do them. Like in the grocery store or the truck and a great song comes etc.

Hehehe i love to boogie :p

Congratulations again for hitting the 180's !!! wooooo
