Weight LOss with Homer

Popping in to say hi and welcome!

I have been through a depressive period and was barely able to come in a post in my own diary and ashamed to say that I have been really awful on reading new diaries! But I am changing all of that, so....WELCOME! :) :)

I hear ya on the running thing....I keep saying that too about getting my butt back on the treadmill. tomorrow.... ;)

Hope you are having a great day and enjoying the new job, too!

Beth
 
Sorry about the hangover you poor thing!

I know all about it! It is really really great to not be drinking right now, otherwise I;d be suffering the same deal--hangovers, incapacitation, empty calories, etc. I just noticed that my body craves sugar more, now, and I have been indulging in ice cream the past 2 days! What a trade-off! I need to figure this out...........

I hope you feel better and get your ass in gear and go RUNNING!!! :D
 
Busy Busy.. Busy...

Ass is IN gear. I ran yesterday and today I went for a bike ride to do my errands instead of the bus. My brother is in hospital though, so I've been hanging out with him lots and am on my way over there right now !
I wish I could hit up your journals but noo time for that so thanks for the support (Lisa you're so right) aaand I hope you guys are having good days :)
 
Homer--what's up with your bro?!? If it's private I understand--hope his stay is brief.

MAD PROPS to you for the activeness--bet you feel great, huh? :D :party:

No worries on the diary-reading--quick update for me, I'm sleeping more, doing yoga more, praying more, getting my weight back to pre-vacation, and have not been having sex. Sounds awful to some, but it works for me so far!

No problemo :) and yep my week has been chaotic and busy and stressful but somehow pretty good anyway cuz I'm feeling better!

Sorry you're brother is in the hospital...hope he gets better soon but I'm sure having you visit him helps :) Just don't get bored and paint his toenails rainbow colors...or maybe that's just my friends that do that stuff? lol
 
I'm baaaaack

Hey Guys ! :waving:
I've actually had an AWESOME week. My mom and I went for a drive to Camrose (a weeee small town an hour away from Edmonton) to see my cousin's band and it was HIGH-larious. She got hit on by all the old cowboys (more than I did!) and danced with someone who reminded me of George Hamilton, haha. I two-stepped :) AND did the fox trot :D

My brother is in hospital for another week or so. I'd love for them to keep him longer. He's bipolar and has always struggled with it (and life, being gay doesn't help). But he's an absolute genius and unfortunately is GREAT at manipulating people, so his doctor told him he could stop taking his lithium because James made him believe that he's doing better. :mad: Well, lithium to a bipolar is like insulin to a diabetic and his doctor is a MORON for thinking .. what.. James is cured ? *sigh*
Anyways, six FRUSTRATING months and one suicide attempt later, he's decided that this might be a good thing for him and he's being quite patient with the whole process. He's back on litium, and quite lucid, plus he's initiating conversations! It's fantastic really, :hurray: he's back to the good ol' brother I knew.

So about the exercise.. :toetap05:
I ran three times this week but I'm really ignoring my weights. And I'm not pushing myself hard enough. I've slowed down quite a bit just because my birthday (let's call it birthweek, haha) is on Wednesday and I've been getting ready and doing some early celebrating :cheers2:

Is it just false hope that I'm promising myself I'll push harder after this weekend? (Which is my BIG bash at my place) I looked at pictures from last night and ew, I'm so discusted by them. :( I ruin pictures. I'm not being 21 and a constantly-fatigued blob. I have to change. That's what growing up is about! Well, until all this running around b-day crap is done, I don't have time to step it up a notch. But we'll see when it comes.

PICTURES! One is my brother James from December when my nephew Alex was born. The next two are Alex today at 9 months, (he's the love of my life) AND the last is my big boy, (the original) Homer. He's a black lab x. st.bernard. Aaaand enough of me.. off to see what you're all up to :seeya:
 
Just came back from a nice long bike ride. It's beautiful outside today and I refused to hang out in here because it's probably our last couple days of this weather. I love fall though, it's so gorgeous outside. I think I might bike for a late lunch somewhere. :)

OK, first oiff, that is so good to hear your brother is doing well! How heartbreaking it must have been to see him go through the rough times....I know several genius-types with bi-polar disorder and it is very frustrating for all of us, when they have their depressive periods--I even prefer the manic phases over that, and those can be.....trying to say the least.

Second, Happy early birthday! WOW lots of Virgos on here as well as Leos! Nice! I understand, my birthmonth was the same way, which is why I have been trying to step it up and get rid of the last pounds I want to lose...

Third, don't be so hard on yourself for pictures. I despise pictures--they add 10 pounds it seems! :( But everyone is her own worst critic, so step up the positive talk and throw out the body-bashing--you DO NOT RUIN pictures, girl--you're beautiful and you have a goal to get fit, right??? Now step it up anyway! MAKE time! C'mon!!! (or at least after Wed ;))

Adorable baby brother and doggie! Lucky you!
 
I'm pooped. Haha, I've done soo much since I was writing before it's ridiculous. But I think I wore myself out, and that's okay because I feel REALLY ready to hop on board now ( not that I wasn't before, but birthdays make your mind go fuzzy especially your 21st ). One of my favorite gifts was from the man, who bought me a Nintendo DS with Brain Age and a Weight Loss program on it. It's awesome!! I've been talking about it and he just.. listened! WHOA! Lol... so I've got some goals to do tomorrow and I'm looking forward to a new month and hopefully a slightly slimmer me around Halloween time.

Tomorrow - I run!
And come back here, I miss you guys!

 
I'm back :) Happy belated birthday!!! So glad to hear your bro is ok and everything is goin good. Come back and post soon so I can bug ya!
