Organizing

Okay well I went to Wally World last night and picked up two very important items ... a day planner and a journal.  I also grabbed some TrimSpa ... I know, I know I was supposed to do this naturally , but I figure a little jump start for a week or two won't hurt me, I'm going to use it till I get myself back down to 150 ... then burn the rest of it with exercise!!  I have to do this for myself.

I have also finally come to another one of my goals ... as of December 2007 I will be done with my Bachelors!!!  Whoo Hoo! This is a huge deal for me, I've been working towards this for well ... seven years!  Just imagine, in shape, done with school and single ... WATCH OUT WORLD!!!!

Aargh!

Okay ... it is serisouly harder than I thought to get reorganized with dieting!!!  My schedule is so screwed up since moving back in with my parents, I don't have any control over my evenings or weekends anymore and it is driving me nuts!!!

And dating... I hate dating, it is totally throwing me for a spin!  It makes your schedule unpredictable and makes it almost impossible to stick to any kind of eating regiment on the weekends!!  This is going to be tough until I get my routine back!

Advice anyone?

Back with a vengance

Okay so I'm single, have no "real" job and I've put about 10 pounds back on.  So I'm back with a vengance, I am determined to lose this weight.  Except now I really know that I'm doing it for myself and not for my asshole ex-boyfriend.

I have a new goal ... NEW YEARS BABY ... that when I started this journey so I figure it is a fitting goal as well.  I will be fit and happy this year!!!

Hi Hi

wow, i've been gone for soooooo long.  I really miss all of you guys and am now in a place (jobwise and mentally) where I can come back to this.

I've only gained back three pounds on my two month detour so I'm pretty proud of myself.  That means when I officially go off the diet food I will be able to maintain my weight.

Quick Update:  Me and Nick are doing well, he recently got sent to a job in Colorado so me and Lorali will be on our own for a while.  School starts back up in a month so I will once again be running across campus two nights a week to make it to class on time.  And Lorali's 5th Birthday is coming up soon, as well as Nick's 27th and my 24th.

I hope everyone is doing great, I'm going to be trying to keep up with everyone again.

LOVE!!!

Missing....

Okay, so I know I've been gone for almost two weeks (I hope someone noticed!) ... but last Monday I got layed off, so needless to say I haven't really felt like doing much of anything other than job searching.  They have decided to close my office so at least I'll get a severance package.

My diet has sucked, I have really fallen back on some old habits but at least not totally.  I have managed to be really good the last two days and thankfully have not gained any weight back!!!

I will be trying to get caught up with all of you but I wanted to check in so that you didn't think I had totally abandoned you!

Lots of Love!!!  Wish me Luck!!!

Oh and MustBLite - Buddy had another seizure this week, the vet said they really can't hurt him but if he starts getting them once a week or more we will have to put him on Phenobarbatol.

Wondering ...

Okay I'm super scared that I'm not going to be able to get down to my goal!!  I'm only 19 lbs away and I know that the last stretch is always the hardest.  What if I just get comfortable and quit pushing myself?  I really wish I could buy my treadmill now, but that defeats the purpose of pushing myself to get to 150.  My mother just bought a new one, maybe I should just go to her house and use it a couple of nights a week to reenergize myself and change up my exercise.

On a good note .... MY STOMACH IS ALMOST FLAT!! (R-rated info coming) ... I looked down in the shower this morning and for the first time in years I could see my *special area* without lifting my stomach out of the way.  That did feel good!

This weekend is mother's day, my niece's b-day, and Nick's cousin's college grad party ... I'm going to be hard pressed to stick to my diet, but I'm really going to try.  I'm skipping a Pampered Chef party tonight b/c I just don't trust myself .... especially since it is an Italian theme!!!!

Next issue ... I thought me looking better would also make a difference in me and Nick's relationship.  But I'm not so sure it is, I don't know that he finds me any more attractive than before, but his jealous tendencies have increased.  He now feels the need to make comments about every outfit I wear.  I'm sorry but I finally got my body back and I'm going to show it off.  Y'all can see from my girls weekend pic that I don't dress terribly promiscuous, just sexy but not slutty.  I think I look pretty damn cute!  And regardless of what I wear damn it, he should trust me!  Especially after two years and a house together.  Come on, give me a break!!

Anyways ... I hope everyone has a great Friday, a skinny weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day!!

Observation....

Dieting is hard!!!  I realized this a couple of months back, but I don't think that some people do!

I've watched numerous people hop on this site and go for a couple weeks.... lose about 5 lbs .... then decide it cramps their lifestyle so they quit, only to gain back that 5 lbs and starting complaining about their weight again!!!

So Cheers!!!!  To all of us that have stuck with it through the losses, and gains, and plateaus and binges ... and TOM!!!!  We are the true "losers" and are better for it. 

Keep up the totally awesome work and know that we will be here to support you!!!

Love!

Oh yeah .... and I would so leave my boyfriend for Kenny Chesney any day!!

Love my weights!

Kenny Chesney is still super fine ... and yes I will be on cloud-9 for about another week.

Okay, so about my new weights... Danskin from Walmart ... I love them, they have really made it easy for me to do some more toning with my weight loss.  They are only $20 to top it off!!!!

Kenny Chesney is soooo Fine!!!

Okay, the concert was great!!!  I had no voice left on Sunday, but the concert was great!!

That man is soooo fine!  Thank God for sleeveless shirts and Wrangler jeans!!!!

Nick was a little miffed b/c I was walking around Sunday with my head in the clouds .... oh well!

Monday, Monday .... I hate that day!
