walk up in the world & cut the lights off / confidence is a stain they can't wipe off

Soo, alllooooo!
Haven't been able to drop by in the last week or so... been busy with work; haven't dropped by campus at all. Currently turning out applications for nurse aid jobs on my mother's laptop, and I thought I'd swing by for awhile!

As difficult as it is becoming, I'm determined to NOT let these holidays get to me, even though I've eaten out the past two days for lunch (and will be doing so again tomorrow), will be enjoying spaghetti-bake for Christmas Eve dinner, and steaks on Christmas day. It's all about moderation and discipline; I think that as long as I keep that in mind, I shouldn't waiver too much. Portabella wraps and salads; that's what it's all about, baby!

Had the awkward 4-hour holiday "celebration" with the several times aforementioned aunts. They each gave me a tight-lipped compliment, probably grossed out that I'm still as big as I am. Oh, well. To be a lady and hold my tongue, fuck those bitches. (Classy, right? ;))

Rockin' at 186 now, and am glad to say that my cup runneth over with people who are supporting me as I try and keep this up. I don't know if the holidays brings it out more, or I just notice it more when I'm in a better mood, but I am a very, very lucky girl.

OH, almost forgot: sometime over the next couple weeks, my aunt (who isn't a personal trainer but might as well be) is going to put together a weight circuit for me so I can start doing something outside of cardio. It's about time I stopped putting it off!
Here's the train I'm on: Went from just flabby ---> flabulous, now would like to shift that ---> over to just fabulous, so I need to kick this untoned body into SHAPE!!

I hope everyone has an AMAZING Christmas and a cheery drunken New Year; talk to you all soon!
Love love love love love love!

I don't remember if I mentioned it now, but I got blasted with a terrible, inexplicable stomach virus last Friday, and it lasted until sometime yesterday, though a little bit of it's still hanging on today. It's probably what dropped me another five pounds.

Christmas was wonderful; I made out pretty well. Enjoyed two and a half days off, ate more than I should have (just today, not yesterday), looking forward to getting back into the full swing of things tomorrow.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas!
Cheers!
 
Merry Christmas SOCO

I had a nice day yesterday too. Back into the cal counting for me today though :)

Just have to get through new years now.

Hit my official 6-month diet anniversary on the 26th of December, at 87.6 pounds of loss. Dropped another couple since; am currently resting happily at 179.

The 170's. It's literally blowing my mind-hole.
Went out today and bought a pair of size 12 skinny jeans that both look and feel amazing -- I haven't been in size 12's since middle school. Additionally, my aunt (who I hadn't seen for a few months up until Christmas) bought me an XL sweater, which I had to go back and swap for a medium.

Feels good to shrink!
Hope everyone's holidays were wonderful; I had a good time, but I'm glad that food-fest is behind me!
 
Hey pretty girl :) Just checking in to send fat-free vibes and hugs your way!! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year

Soco is down for the count.
It's been a rough week, foodwise. I went out on Saturday night and proceeded to drink the exact same way I did at almost 270 pounds.
Well, at only 175 pounds, that doesn't pan out quite the same way.
I also went out Monday night with a friend to celebrate. Mexican food and margaritas. Delicious, but not too kind on this diet.

Now, I'm just trying to make it through the week, and find time to hit the walk-in clinic before my back absolutely kills me.
I'm LOSING weight, shouldn't my back problems be going away? :(

I'm sure I'm just feeling sorry for myself, and being nervous about a home health aide interview I have tomorrow. That's why I stop by WLF when I can, because you are good people full of good inspiration.

I can kickstart this thing back up.
Lyrical weekend revelation:
"I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough to know: if you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be TOUGH!"
 
With a name like that I just had to come and check out your diary (your diary's name). You are a success story. I'm glad you came to love the support here. You are a very hard worker.
 
Having to exchange clothes for a smaller size is great! Hope you get your back problems taken care of soon, and good luck on your interview!! You'll do great!!
 
Thanks, guys.
The interview went well. I won't hear back for a week or so, but after the interview, I'm not 100% dead set on landing it anyway; the hours in it are so inconsistent.

Trying to make it into the gym three times before weigh-in this week (2 down), because of how badly behaved I've been in terms of food. I really, really need to adopt a new way of taking care of myself between meals in terms of snacks, because that's what's hurting me at this point.
I've gone from 35 points allowed in each day to 26, just over six months time. It's a difficult adjustment. Anyway, I'm doing some research on the subject to try and max out my success, but if anyone has any healthy snack ideas (outside of the tried-and-true, well-known fruits and veggies), I'd love your input!

Also, greatest thing ever: My lovely mother picked me up a pair of size 10 skinny jeans of the same brand as my new 12s are, as a "goal" pair... and they fit perfectly. I'm in a size 10 jeans. That blows my mind.

G'bye, everybody!
