VonArtiste's Diary

Well I am so happy for you that you were lighter than you expected when you weighed in. And it proves that you have been doing something right to have lost thirty some pounds. Good going!!!

And thank goodness you got to drive today...maybe you're dad feels a little more comfortable now too. And now that he's seen that you did an excellent job he'll give you some teaching time.

Great news all around!!!!
 
Day 13

Lucky Day 13!

Whoohoo! I feel awesome! I just worked out.

-50 Situps
-10 Butterflies
-20 Bicep Curls
-20 Arm Raises
-20 Knee pushups (Side Note: I'm trying to work up to regular pushups. I did 3 normal ones, and 3 with the support of my bed. I know it's not a lot, but I could never do regular pushups before.)

I didn't do so great on eating though... I promise to do better for my team tommorrow though! I didn't get a chance to go on the treadmill today either. -_-; I did drive to work this morning again! Whoohoo! My dad must think I'm getting better since I don't have to ask if I can drive, he just hands me the keys!

I can tell that my weights are really helping! My shoulders seem to be more defined, and my breasts look better too. Which I know everyone is concerned about. Lol, Jk. Work is going well too. We have this little drawing every month for a 50 Giftcard for the store, and to be entered, you have to be nominated. I got entered from both my managers! Isn't that awesome?

Anyways, today I ate:
+Breakfast
-Granola Bar
+Lunch
-Hamburger
-Hash
+Dinner
-Chicken
-Corn

Not too bad... I was wondering though... Can you really get rid of stretch marks? I know you can use lots of cocoa butter which helps, but do they really go away? Not that I really care all that much. Just curious.

By the way...

Yeah, stretch marks, hate 'em. They will eventually fade to a shiny white mark, but I don't thing they will ever disappear completely. I still have the stretch marks from when I was pregger's with my daughter, who's eight.

Keep up the good work!!!
 
Hi There!

I'm so happy to hear all the good news! It does sound like your dad is beginning to feel comfortable with you behind the wheel!

Great job on the weight and all your excercise, you're doing really well!
 
hey von artiste, just checking in on you. hope you're having a great day today. :)

ANd yep, Manaloa is right. They never go away completely. They'll just fade over time. Depending on the elasticity on ur skin though, it might eventually fade away til you can barely see anything there.
 
I have been wondering the same thing about stretch marks. Mine practically appeared overnight and one day I woke up and looked like I was knifed by a psycho killer. If they are still there after I lose weight, then I'll tell ya, I may just succomb to buying one of those creams they sell on TV for 15 payments of 19.95!!
 
Never heard of it! But it sounds cool. I'll have to drop by the grocery store and see if they have a tub of that stuff!

-K-
 
Hey, Von....I'm so glad your spirits are back up. When you have bad days, just remember there is always tomorrow. Hey, 204! That's great. Your going to do great in the challenge. If you can have a day like that and not go get the ice cream, you can do anything.

Also glad to hear your Dad budged a little on the driving. Once he gets comfy with the idea you will be able to get your license. Just be patient with him. He is a parent, you know.
 
Hey Von!!
Good on ya with the push ups!!! That's how I started with the stairmaster, 3 minutes, and on and on, and now I'm at a big 10 minutes!!:p Keep it up!!!;) Also good on ya with the driving!! Your dad must really be impressed!! Keep it up!!!:D
 
look at you...all losing weight, exercising, driving, winning gift cards (I use that in present tense because I hope you do win in the drawing)......you are a busy girl!!!! Keep it up!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about that. I know I have a hard time in my day getting to all diaries even my own some days. We do what we can.

You sound like you're making great progress! And kudos to you for getting your dad to ease up a bit... It's all heading in the right direction!

Keep up the good work,
