Hey guys,
the Internet was down in the office yesterday so I didn't get a chance to get on here! What a crazy last couple of days!
Thanks everyone for the congrats on my loss! It's pretty liberating! I hope to keep inspiring as I continue this journey. Some things I do are not inspiring and actually pretty disappointing - like how I treat weekends - it has to change and more and more I am realizing it!
Here is a quick recap of the weekend:
Friday - girl friend ditched me on the gym again but I went anyway after work and ran on the treadmill - 3 miles at 6 mph which was a first for me! After the treadmill I decided to take a water aerobics class - there were only two other ladies in the pool for the class and I didn't really enjoy it - there were times I felt chilled because my hair was wet and I just didn't feel like I was working hard enough to get my heart rate up. After an hour in the pool my fingers and toes were so wrinkled it hurt - I don't think I will be doing one of those again. Anyway went home and had pizza for dinner followed by some mini tarts - instant tummy ache. My body can just not handle that much grease or sugar anymore and I keep trying to test it.
Saturday woke up and went to the gym - did 20 min on the eliptical before Kettle Bell started. The usual Kettle Bell instructor was sick so there was someone subing in for him and I am used to a strength training class but this guy incorporated all kinds of burpees, push-ups, bronco kicks plus the lifting so I was beat! I shouldn't have done the eliptical before hand - lesson learned. I had a nice sauna afterwards and showered up. Went and did some Christmas shopping but only ended up buying myself some new clothes - American Eagle jeans (size 10 - I was bummed the 8 didn't fit) a new hoodie and two pairs of work dress pants from Suzzy Shear size 9 - $35 for both!
We then had to get ready for a birthday party that we didn't want to go to because the couple hosting it always cause drama and are always fighting with each other and make everyone else feel awkward. It was the worst party I went to all year! As soon as we got there the girl was in a fowl mood with her arms crossed and wouldn't even smile - no one really likes her but went because her boyfriend invited all his friends and their girlfriends -it's kinda sad she doesn't have any of her own friends but not really because she doesn't treat people well and it just a b*tch! We ate really well though - lazagna, garlic bread, two different kinds of salads and home made carrot cake with tons of icing! There were taco dips and all kinds of chocolates - I didn't resist anything and had an instant tummy ache. I had to ask the b*tch for some tums- this was the girl that told me a while back when I was 176 that I could never get to 140 because I wouldn't have the willpower - well I wish I wouldn't have pigged out so much and showed her I the power but just not on Saturday nights I guess. Anyway I had a couple drinks too but because my stomach hurt so much I decided to ease off.
Then something really bad happened at the party - this friend of ours started having convulsions and his eyes rolled back into his head and we called 911 and got him to the hospital and he is doing ok now but it was really scary. Turns out he might be diabetic - anyway the girl who the party was for started getting mad because this ruined her party - it was unreal - totally showed her true colours and I never want to go to their house again. It wasn't a good time and I ate all that crap too!
Sunday - took a day off the gym and did some more Christmas shopping - this time for other people. Also worked out bundling up all our shag gifts - I did 28 baskets in total and three grand prizes. Still didn't eat great today but not as bad as Saturday.
Monday - So busy at work and the Internet was down so that made it hard. I had so much running around to do after work that I didn't make it to the gym - I had set my alarm to go in the morning but couldn't get out of bed - was even late for work - today too! I've just been going to bed so much later than normal and can not operate on 6 or less hours of sleep - don't know how some of you do it! Stuff for the shag is almost all ready to go so now I can concentrate on working out and eating good the rest of the week - yesterday I ate really well and didn't have any snacks after dinner because I was too busy! My house really needs to be cleaned too!
I have Friday off work so I won't be able to update you on my weigh-in and therefore Monday's post will be a long one again - if I get out to my parents house I will try to get on the computer and update.
Tonight is spinning and I have a healthy lunch packed so no excuse to go off track! From what I've been reading it looks like everyone had good weekends and is all ready for the week! Let's kick some butt!! Sorry for the long post!

Congrats on the 3 mile run! Looks like you can keep up with me now! We would be good running buddies 
I also ate pizza and had some treats on Saturday night after my 4 mile run and my tummy hurt sooo bad. Can't handle that junk anymore!
Sounds like Saturday morning was a blast! Great workout, and shopping to follow American Eagle jeans run kind of small (I think). I still kinda have to squeeze my butt into a 6 but I don't even buy their jeans anymore... I can never find any that fit right and look good on my anymore! Sucks cuz I used to get their jeans alll the time.
As for the party.. what a disaster! And that girl sounds like a totally snob! I bet you must have thought it was funny though that she was the one that told you that you could never get down to 140 and look at you now! She was probably regretting that comment. It's okay that you snacked too cuz guess what... now you know how it makes ya feel, crappy! Stay away from the party snacks! I just learned that one myself lol
Have a great day! Chat with you later!

Congrats on working out during the weekend! I have the hardest time doing that. And don't worry about the jean sizes, all clothes are made different! It maybe a 10 at one store but a 6 at another. I'm glad you got a chance to see that heifer that said you couldn't get down to 140 because you are there now. She will never be happy. People like that will be unhappy for the rest of their lives and try to make everyone they are around unhappy as well. Try not to spend alot of time around her. Keep up the good work and have a great day!

well done girl, i am really enjoying your diary
Wow, thats quite a weekend I tried your run this morning 
You Rock!!! I've never been a fan of water aerobics either. Not sure why exactly but I like to sweat!
So sorry to hear about your friend and I'm glad he's ok. Diabetes is a scary one and I like to think that all things happen for a reason. You could use his scare as a reminder of what all that crap does to your body. You were having a negative reaction to it as well, but not really listening to your body. He is the extreme of what can happen.
Ok enough of that. You are going to look so good for your shag this weekend. I can't wait to see pics!!!
Have a good one

That would be so fun! I think you are still a bit faster and have more endurance - I am going to keep pushing though, I'll get there!Congrats on the 3 mile run! Looks like you can keep up with me now! We would be good running buddies
~ Sarah
But you eat good on the weekends - that's my next challenge to overcome!
Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you so much - I enjoy yours too!well done girl, i am really enjoying your diary
Good point - I had another friend in uni that became diabetic and continued her unhealthy lifestyle and the diabetes got even worse - she had a really hard time trying to change her ways. I know in order to keep up my healthy lifestyle I have to do it 7 days a week not 5 - it's too easy to get back to old habits - going to keep working at it.
Ok so I don't have much time today because my boss is here (she normally works in the next town over) and is constantly looking over my shoulder all day - tomorrow too! She just ran out for lunch so I got a minute.
Made it to spinning last night and ate pretty decent. I also got up and made it to Kettle Bell this morning and I plan to go back tonight to run on the treadmill for a bit. My eating hasn't been as good as last week and I have so many bad cravings lingering from the weekend. We also got our meat order in so my fridge is packed with kubasaw and pepperettes and I love to heat up the pepperettes in the microwave for 30 sec and then eat them but I know they are soooo bad so I have only have 1 since I got them last Friday so that's not too bad - I think I should freeze them until company comes over because they are too tempting - I thought about them all night and ended up eating a bunch of popcorn but wasn't satisfied.
Anyway I might not get to update again until Monday which will then be a really good post because I plan to finally have some pictures!! Actually I'm planning on going to my parents house Sunday for the survivor finale so I should be able to update at that time -if my boss goes for lunch again tomorrow I will update then too.
I miss you guys lately but have still been reading when I can and just haven't been able to post you messages - I am thinking about you all - stay strong during those holiday temptations and get a good workout in if you know it's going to be high calorie day!
Hey Lisa,
Great work outs this weekend! I don't know how you do it, I can never manage to push myself to work out on weekends, sometimes I will on the rare Sunday but never on Friday or Saturday. You have such a great drive. I can't believe that stupid girl told you that you would never get to 140, what a jealous idiot! And look at you now, you totally showed her! Even though you wished you didn't eat as much in front of her I think its a good thing because you showed her you can eat like that- even though you usually don't but she doesn't need to know that- and still lose weight and look gorgeous! I am so proud of you for how far you have come. Don't worry about eating little things you don't want to, its so hard around the holidays because there are so many parties and snacks and good looking fatty foods and deserts that look and smell so good its too hard to resit sometimes, I think moderation is the key to all of the holiday snacks. The great part is your kicking butt with your workouts so you will burn it all off. Talk to you soon!

Wow it's been forever it seems!
Some good news some bad - first the good!
I was 143.8 on Friday the 18th!! however I didn't officially weigh-in so I'm not updating my ticker until I get to WW after the holidays. The shag went ok - didn't make as much money as we were hoping but I'm just glad it's over.
I went to Duluth shopping with my mom and sisters yesterday and bought a wedding dress!! It's so gorgeous and HOT! It's a mermaid style with lots of sparkle and a size 8!! My sisters couldn't believe it and were so jealous! Everyone at the shag couldn't believe how good I looked - I didn't get any pictures - once again I was too busy and forgot - I think my sister did though so I will get her to send me some.
Since my family has arrived my eating has been horrible - not a ton of food but just the wrong types of food - we have been eating out lots and I haven't been picking the best choices. I only made it to the gym Friday morning and Sunday afternoon so far. I wanted to go this morning but was just too tired. It took us all day yesterday to drive to Duluth and shop and then drive back so yesterday was out of the question. I even had to take a 2010 vacation day off work so I could go. Tonight is my hunnie's Christmas party so the gym is out today too! I am having tons of fun and really enjoying having my family in town so I'm not feeling too guilty. I know as soon as things settle down I will be motivated big time since Dominican is coming up and then just remembering the wedding dress keeps me in line!
Work is really busy trying to get things done for year end and then taking those days off has not helped. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a good gym session in and I really have to drink some water because that has gone out the door in the last three days!
Friday at the shag though I didn't drink hardly at all - actually I haven't been drinking at all - designated DD this year which is a huge change! Even tonight I told my hunnie I would drive so we don't have to spend $60 on a cab. I still have lots of xmas shopping to do and parties everynight until the 28th! So to sum it up I am trying to maintain or not gain 5 pounds but I know I will not lose anymore this year and I am ok with that. I feel like I have done an awesome job and know I am going to kick butt in 2010! I want to start strength training every other day and continue spinning twice a week! Plus back to packing lunches and eating healthy breakfasts! Hope everyone has a very merry christmas and a safe new year! I might get back on here before then but just in case! Miss you all - can't wait to find some time to catch up!
