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

And honestly, I like the taste better. I think that's the only thing that I still eat regularly from when I was vegetarian years ago.

I understand, because I like fake meat and I detest real meat--it's mostly due to my stomach. I can't really digest it properly, probably because I'm not the best chewer. Weird, I know. I read that stupid book Eat Right For your Type years ago and if that's at all correct, my Type A+ blood doesn't need it, anyway. But I'm glad you're back to 180, I'm sure the 170s will pop up again, YAY!! And I hope you had fun snuggling :hug2:
 
Hi Elle,
glad you're back down to 180!

That soup ad ass cracked me up...lol :D

Thanks Kimberly!!

I'm a freakin carnivore. Whenever David asks what I want for dinner, the answer is "meat" most of the time. lol. Although, fake meat totally fills my craving for real meat. I love all those morningstar farms foods and boca burgers. yummy!

Oh wow, I didn't even know that there was a "right" way to eat for your blood type. Shit, I don't even know mine. lol.
 
OMG I realized I never gave you condolences for your poor sweet doggie! BAD BUNNY! Seriously, that is HARD to watch. I seen my girl friend go through a seizure and it's like an earthquake--terrifying and you don't know when it's going to stop or whether it's going to get worse :( I hope she's ok and you don't have to empty your pocketbook over tests!!
 
Okay... so, I'm here, I'm alive. :]

I just want to let everyone know that if I don't leave a comment in your diary, it's not because I didn't read it. In reality, I read everyones when I come on here and go through them. It's just that sometimes I don't know what to say in response to what has been posted. I'm not too fab with words or saying encouraging things when something is going bad... When I do say stuff of that nature, I sound like a doof so I just steer clear of saying it most times. Just wanted to let ya'll know that. <3

So yesterday I was at 179.5! Today, the same. I'm pretty happy about it :D

I ended up having some peanut m&m's yesterday :leaving: I had a chocolate craving and they were there so I had a few. Kept a limit though, so it's aaaaaaaaaall good. :]

Got my veggies in for the challenge everyday so far. Had to run to the store yesterday to get stuff for turkey day and picked up a ton of veggies while I was at it cause I was down to one small bag of mixed veggies. I even made sure that I had more than enough for the rest of the days of the challenge. I'm a geek. :p

Did 1.5 hours of pilates today. Bringing my total exercise for this week up to 3hrs, 30 mins. I'm still going to exercise tomorrow though, don't care if I already have more than the 3hrs in.

Which reminds me, I gotta update my challenge post after this!

So, David and I are indeed going out on black friday. eek! yeah, we're nuts. There's a camera at best buy that he wants and there's a laptop there that I'm gonna try and get. The camera is $60 off what it normally is and the laptop is $320 off. Soooooooo, we're gonna brave the cold and attempt and snag the cam and lappy. Best Buy opens at 5am and they start handing out "doorbuster" tickets at 3am. The camera isn't a db item, but the laptop is, so we need to get one of the damn tickets to ensure that we can actually get the laptop. We figure that the line will alreaday be pretty packed by midnight, so we're gonna plan to get there at like 9.45/10-ish. Let's just leave that at 'ew'. If I don't get the lappy, I'm not gonna be upset, it just means that I'll have more money to buy people Christmas gifts! :]

Okay, I'm feeling a bit hungry so I'm gonna go update the challenge post then eat some dinner. :] Hope everyone had a great day and a great rest of the night!!!

Black Friday sounds like a hectic day for you. My advice: brings little novels to read while you wait in line. I'm ALWAYS reading when I wait for ANYTHING, even at restaurants. I get bored easily when I don't have stimuli, so I bring it! Good luck!
 
Have Fun with Black Friday!!:willy_nilly:
This will be the first time in like 7 years that I am NOT heading out.
Since we got the kids a puppy, a $125 puppy!, we told them that unless it was something that we had already got for them than that was it. No more spending. Except for the 16 year old. He's too old to fall for that trick.
Just be careful. Some people will hurt you to get to the goods. I got scratched one year going for a leap pad. And the year before that my friend had something stole straight from her cart!!!! Soooooo make sure that you keep your eyes on your stuff and keep your fighting dukes up. Cuz' your gonna need 'em!!!:boxing:
And Congrats on keeping the M & M's in check.
I went thru a whole snacky phaze last week. I won't even begin to tell you all the junk I had. I am too ashamed to admit how much I ate. Though I didn't gain any so it must have been all good as well.
So Kudo's on holding back!!!!
You ROCK!!!! :seeya:
 
I'm with you, Elle. Go work out every day you can, regardless of if you've already met the challenge. In that case, there is more at stake than the points.

Hope you score big at best buy!
 
Glad to see you're back in the 170s--woohoo!

Glad your pooch is seizure free so far. :D

Have fun in line at Best Buy. There is no way in hell I'd ever wait in line that long, but more power to ya!! :D

Happy Turkey Day!
 
Hey Elle!! :seeya:
We're both on the same team for the Holiday Challenge!!!!
WooHoo!!! :party:
Go Elle! Go Elle!

I've been gone foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr! Sorry ladies!!
Things have gotten insanely busy around here ever since thanksgiving so I haven't had much time to get online. But I'm back now!

Still kept up watching what I've been eating and have been exercising a lot. Even though I've continued to do well, I haven't been able to budge the scale much. It keeps going up and down like crazy! Not too worried though, I was at 178.5 this morning, so that's alright. Ever since this past sunday, I've gotten in 5 hours of exercise and I feel better than I have in a long time :D Hoping that after the holiday gift buying is over, that I'll probably end up buying some sort of exercise equipment. Thinking about a treadmill but I'm definitely not sure yet.

Well, I've gotta go do the dishes that seem to have piled up really quickly today. ugh. Tomorrow I probably won't be around as I've got a ton of holiday decorating to do and hopefully fit some shopping in. But I assure you that I will be here on Monday and I'll respond to everyone who stopped in then!

xoxoxox
 
Yes, you must return soon, we don't deal well with long absences around here. We are already dealing with losing Sheryl for a month...we cannot lose Elle, too!

Bah! A month will come and go. I'm sure when I return, all of you bitches are going to be way smaller... which will be fuckin' awesome! I mean, look at Elle... our shrinking "baby of the group." haha!

Elle, keep up the good work with remaining active and watching your food. You'll see that scale move soon, doll. Just remain persistent. Love yas.

Hey Elle~
I got your card the other day. In fact it was our 1st card of the season so has a place of honor. And I LOVE it!!!
Sorry you have been so busy. Just seems to go hand in hand around the holidays doesn't it?
I would say if your thinking about getting a piece of exercise equipment you should look into getting an elliptical.
I do believe you get more of a workout from that than you would from a simple treadmill.
Anywho that is my .02 worth.
Catch ya later!
 
okay so I didn't get on here yesterday as planned, sorry! I'm sucking with this going online thing lately. :/

We had a huge storm come in Sunday night. Yesterday, it was incredibly windy out and snowing to the point that I couldn't see down the road. Our power has been going in and out since yesterday because I guess a ton of lines went down with the winds. I haven't watched the news yet today but sunday night, they were calling for winds in the area of 50mph, I'm pretty sure they reached that because it was INSANE here. I'll have to wait to watch the news though... hoping that my power doesn't go out again. It's sounded like a train was in my yard. eek. It's still pretty windy here and I've been insanely nervous that this one tree in our yard is going to just bend so much that it breaks, but I guess if it hasn't yet with all the winds yesterday, that it hopefully won't today. Big dead trees=bad. big dead trees that your landlord won't get removed=worse.

I ordered David a watch for Christmas and it was supposed to come yesterday but with the weather, it'll be coming to day (I hope!). I have to sign for it so I'm gonna go work on Chloe's (my niece) blanket and wait for the watch to get here.

This is the watch that I got him:


Power permitting, I'll be back here later. Hope everyone is doing well today!
