Hi Sheryl!!
I'm definitely being careful with the depo, it scares the crap outta me... too many possible side effects :/. Call me crazy but even though they say it's super effective immediatly, I still won't have sex without a condom. lol. I'm just a paranoid mofo.
As for halloween, David and I aren't doing anything :[ He's gotta work till 7pm on halloween and has to be at work at 7am the day after. Probably just sit home, drink a few beers and watch some cheesy old horror flick. lol.
yeah... we have exciting lives. :ack2:
What're you up to for halloween?? Anything fun planned?
 
I have a copper IUD. Best BC ever--ahhhhhh! But not for everyone!

Have a good time snuggling--7-7, eh? Is the BF into carpentry, construction, or installation?

lol yeah, I just get creeped out byt the nuva rings & iud's. something about something in me, just creeeeps me out! But I hear amazing things about them :]

7-7, 2 days on, 2 days off and every other weekend (considered fri, sat & sun there) Pretty decent schedule I guess, but still kinda ickky. :/ He actually works at a plastics printing company. They make a bunch of packaging for Luvs, Wonder bread, etc. Not the most glamorous job but it pays the bills lol.
 
Well, I was going to post this entry earlier but the site went down, some database thing. :ack2: So I didn't get to check out anyone's diaries or anything cause I had other things to do. :/ Well, here's the entry. David just got home so I'm gonna go chat with him and whatnot! Hope everyone is well!!! I'll check everyone's diaries tomorrow. <3 xoxoxox




Today, I am very surprised and happy to say that I weigh 185.5! I had to step on the scale a few times just so I could make sure it was real. 27 lbs down! :D

Lately I've been thinking, and I'm not sure if I really want to go down to 135. It's seeming a bit too low. I'm going to change my ticker to 150, and once I get to the end, I'll re-evaluate my weight and see if I want to go lower or stay where I'm at.

I by no means want to be a stick. I still want to have curves (not the ugly fat ones, the sexy ones lol). I just want to be: where I'm healthy, where I can fit into normal sized clothing, and where I can be happy about how I look.

Okay, so I'm done going on and on about weight for the day. Imma go look around the site for a bit and then go for a walk. It's unusually nice outside today... 62 degrees! Tomorrow is supposed to be high 70's, I'm kind of shocked. Most years it's ridiculously cold right now and halloween costumes must be planned around the snow & cold. lol.

Alright, I'm gone!!
 
I second that, Elle, you are doing fantastic!!

Oh, and Nuva Ring was by far the best BC I ever had. If only I could use birth control without migraines....

Totally. :iagree: DO what feels best, goals change and whatnot. Kim and I were talking about muscle, and how a person can weigh seemingly a lot, but be a lot of nice muscle and LOOK like she weighs much less. Muscle makes curves, I swear!! :D

I understand your discretion. I only do the copper IUD because I very much hate hormones as b.c.--it doesn't agree with me. Negative side effects, one of which was weight gain!

:hurray: Hell yeah! Keep doing what you're doing, we can't wait to see you get closer to your (new) goal, YOU'RE A WEIGHT LOSS SUPERSTAR!!! :party:

Thanks Amber! :] Does bc give you migraines? or you just get them naturally and the bc makes them worse? :[ either way, that totally sucks

Thanks Valerie! I felt bad the other day when I changed my goal but I figure as long as I'm healthy and look stunning, then I'm fine with whatever weight I'm at. :p

I'm glad the IUD has worked out for you, it's hard to find a bc that completely agrees with your body. I'm still waiting to see how the shot agrees with me after a few shots.

I must go find your diary today!! I'm assuming you have one, I could be wrong though :p
 
186 this AM. I think I need to poo cause I definitely didn't overeat yesterday.

Yesterday, my good friend Kelley came over. We hung out and talked for awhile. I hadn't seen her since the end of August and she was shocked at how good I looked. She then asked me about what I've been doing to lose weight and such.

David got home from work and we all decided that we'd be geeky and act like kids again... go trick or treating for like a half hour seeing as how we couldn't party cause David had to wake up at 5am this morning.

I was the only one who actually had a real costume at the house. Raggedy Ann. Short dress thing, hat with attached hair and some red & white striped leggings and some chunky heels.
Kelley put on some random clothes and made her hair crazy and carried around the guitar hero guitar. She was a rock star.
We dressed David up in an old skirt of mine, a white hippie shirt, and a lime green hat. We put glitter on his chest, a peace sign and a heart on his cheeks and a pink necklace. Silly hippie.

We drove to the village and parked (I live in the middle of nowhere so there's no trick or treaters). Walked around and went to a few houses. Now for the kicker...

While we were walking back to the car, a older busted up lumina with a retarded metal wing drove up and slowed down a bit. Some HUGE kid that must have been all of 17 hung his whole body out of the window and threw something... EGGS! douchebaggs. I was in shock and it all went so fast that I just stood there with my mouth open, shocked. Yeah... that's right, we got fucking egged. I mean, the kid had horrible aim so the eggs only hit my shoes and leggings but still. I mean come on, if you're gonna throw eggs at me atleast yell something derogatory. lol. So on the way back I picked up a rock expecting to see the car again and if I did, I was going to chase the car down (in heels no less) and talk to the little assholes, the rock was my protection. I know, fighting fire with fire isn't the way to go but hey, I was pissed. We didn't see the car again. Kelley was scared that they were going to come back and do something worse so I felt bad for her. I mean, every car that went by, she cowered in fear. :[ poor cowardly kel.

So that kind of ruined our night. David was pissed that I was the one who got hit by the eggs, so he was babying me the rest of the night. Got home, got changed. Kelley went home and then David and I went to wegmans and picked up a few things. We got a big corned beef brisket and a biiiiig cabbage. I was planning on cooking it this morning to have for dinner tonight but then I realized...

I have no earthly idea how to cook the beast. lol. I have a crock pot, corned beef, cabbage and beef base. How do I cook it?! Anyone know?

I'm going to go google it and see what I come up with. :ack2: I really need to learn how to cook.
 
hahaha nevermiiiiiiiiiiind. I called my dad and he told me how he cooks his and then says there should be directions on the package. I looked and sure enough, there's the directions.

Man... I make myself laugh at my own stupidity.
 
Ooooh that sucks!! :mad: I have had eggs thrown at me one time by jocks when I was a teen, and it only hit my sleeve. I too wanted to throw rocks! LOL!! Ah, but sorry about Kelly girl. And that is NOT stupidity. People overlook things like directions constantly. I heard that in general, most consumers do not read manuals, directions, or warning/safety signs. It's just our way, I guess! Have a great day! Speaking of douchebags, my boyfriend decided to be one since he waited until the last minute to make a costume, hope these pics cheer you up!

hahaha! Thanks Valerie!!
The pictures made me crack up! I have a fondness for the word 'douchebag'. My last name sounds like 'douche-ing', so my nick name has been douchebagg/douche/douchey/douche-ma-gouche for as long as I can remember :rotflmao:
 
OMG Elle!
That reminded me of a time that I actually cooked a whole turkey without ever taking out the parts bag. When I took the bird out of the oven I couldn't :confused: figure out why there was writing on it. Backwards no less!
As I was standing there trying to "read" my bird my boyfriend at the time came in saw what I was doing and started to laugh hysterically. :smilielol5:
I never did live that one down!

:iagree: with Bella regarding your new avi--love it!

I loved your cooking story--how cute. Bella's was pretty funny, too..hehe.

My aunt is a notoriously bad cook, and one year she made potatoes that were like rubber balls. She never lived that one down.

Those egging bastards! I don't blame you a bit for wanting to go crunk on them...:rofl::rofl:
