Starting Again

Hey Ladies,

I know I know I know...I've been gone.  But I'm trying to come back...or at least stick to WW even though I may not post here THAT often. 

I haven't gained loads of weight, but for some reason I just FEEL fatter and my clothes don't seem to fit as well--so I guess that means SOMETHING is going on. 

I just started on the pill and I know it works differently for different people but I'm hoping not to gain weight from that. 

Before I even started on the pill I was eating like a madwoman...it was getting a little rediculous.  So, as it stands, I'm trying to lose about 12 pounds before my birthday which is not quite 3 months away.  I'd say that's a decent goal. 

Today is my first day back.  Here's hoping I can stick to it.

Hope the rest of you are doing well!  I'll read up on your lives as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Zee.

Whatwhat WHAT?

Wow...my life is nuts...and somehow despite the fact that I've been mowing down on chocolate, cake, brutal carby jamaican food--i lost almost two pounds last week???? huh???? But i've continued to eat like mad...so I'll prolly gain it back. I feel massive right now...but it's "that time". I'm not entering in my weight loss to my chart in here cause I feel like it's a fake weigh-in. Not real..ya know? I am busy. Crazy. And Busy. I will try to enter something proper...sometime. I dunno. yeah. GO MY LADIES!

Pedometre Notes to Self

A Busy Day at my day job = 5.41km, 372.6 calories and 7121 steps.

The Quick and Dirty

Okay..here it is. Straight: - i have been eating like a pig -been working my ass off at both jobs -realized that two 7 hour shifts at work(walking to and from) equals at least 22 km of walking. -does this eliminate the insane amounts of jamaican food and pie I've been eating lately???? -I am afraid to weigh myself. -I am organizng the work Christmas party. You have NO idea how stressful this is in terms of socializing your coworkers in the right atmosphere. THEIR fun, lies in MY hands. Jeebus. I think i am up to the task tho. -Gotta find a sweet-ass halloween outfit. sexy suggestions (safe for work please) welcome here. Thoughts so far include: beatnik, dead promqueen, dead bride, goth vimpiress. I'm aiming for dark and sexy here. -working with 16 year olds can prove to be quite interesting. Ohh what it is to shape young minds into thinking that there is more to life than owning a house and having babies when you're almost 30. -I could use a serious massage and bootie call right now. -speaking of which, I passed by one of the boys I went home with on the street today. we totally locked eyes, but I think I knew who HE was before it even registered to him who I was. Thank god. Quick getaway please! Close call indeed. -Gotta get back on track and start eating better. I can tell I'm falling off the wagon. The green is a killer on the waistline. ;) That is all.

I've been MIA, I know!

Hey Ladies... I'm trying to keep up with you...but its been a crazy few weeks. I *think* i've lost 2ish more pounds so I'm down almost at 160...which is pretty cool but I'm not sure how i'll do when I weight in tomorrow/tuesday because I've started a new waitressing job at a Jamaican Restaurant and all they serve is carbs carbs carbs. I get to eat there for cheap so when I work I generally eat my dinner there. PLUS, i have to try all the food so I know what its like...so yeah. There may be a gain this week...not sure. Although, I do run around like a mad person, so that could help me as well. Picked up another boy last weekend. Man, is this sounding slutty? I've just been on some kind of a roll with the male folk. And it totally boosts your ego, that's for sure. Maybe its all the new sweet clothes I've bought lately. Hmmmm....perhaps they like the new stylish me. :P Last night was Nuit Blanche which is this amazing art show that has "zones" all over Toronto. It went from 7pm-7am. After running my ass of at the Restaurant last night I met up with Cory and his friend Sue and we walked around the city for HOURS--but finally at 5am I couldn't take it anymore and had to call it a night because my back hurt so much from being on my feet all day. BUT, the upside is, I probably walked off all that Jamaican food. Oooh wait, I did have that 5am sausage....oops. Cleaning my apartment right now cause its a complete sty. my parents are staying here this weekend while I go back to my hometown to celebtrate Oktoberfest. For those of you that don't know that that is, it's a major German celebration that consists of beer, sausage and polka. (http://www.oktoberfest.ca/section/view/?fnode=93) <-- that is the Kitchener website for it..but the proper history of it is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest anyway....hopefully I can retain self control....but knowing me...I'll probably have a heck of a time doing so. But, it will be nice having my parents house to myself for a weekend. Anyway....back to cleaning! YAY!

Hey Ladies!

Yes yes yes...I'm back my lovelies. i appreciate everyone keeping up on me even though once and awhile I go abit AWOL. I've been crazy busy with work. I don't think I got that animation gig...so for now, I've been promoted at my current job because of a maternity leave....which is fine because not only do I get my own office with a window and door, I get a raise. Oooh and I get to be the boss of somebody--so that has its perks as well. I'm up 0.4 pounds but I'm totally okay with that because I haven't been tracking my points AT ALL. I still eat well, I'm just not writing anything down cause I don't have time. However, my friend Jess told me that I can get a WW points tracker for my cell phone. That could indeed be handy. This weightloss thing has its advantages tho....I'm not sure if it's my confidence level or just that I look hot or what, but I managed to snag yet another hottie this weekend. GO ME! It seems to happen everytime I go out. Seriously. I'm scoopin' up the boys practically every weekend. Not that I'm shagging ALL of them but there has been some definate "action jackson" going on. *wink* And you know what else snags the fellas? Carrying around a big digital SLR camera. I was taking photos for BlogTO.com this weekend and got so many guys noticing, whistling, and mugging for the camera! It was nutty. Note to self, buy one for yourself cause you can't keep using the camera from work. Professional cameras are guy magnets. I've also been eating those WW friendly bran brownies from the recipe "hugsandsunshine" gave me--but i'm finding them rather Bran-y. I think the next time I make them I will only use 2 cups rather than 3. I have them frozen...so they are making their way into my rotating lunch at work. Other than that...it's another Kdub weekend coming up because it's the Pops and my bestestest friend Janet's birthday this weekend. What does that mean? Oblivion at its finest. Werd up my ladies. Keep up the thinnin' down. xoxo.

Lesbians, eating too much in the Kdub and Interviews

Man...I ate so much this weekend that I'm totally NOT weighing in this week. I'm afraid to. I was at my parents and it was so hard to resist homemade pie, ice cream, stuffed pork ribs, potatoes, and the list goes on. I just didn't care. I wanted cheese. I wanted cookies. I wanted chips. It was a weekend full of want. And what Karen wanted, Karen had. And you know what? I don't feel THAT guilty, because I know i'm back on track and I'll get back to eating right this week. The lesbian wedding was completely anti-climactic. it was outdoors and they were an hour late showing up and we were completely frozen. It was almost TOO casual...no procession, no music...it was just odd. The reception was boring too. NO DINNER so my friend Janet and I were starving and had to run to Tim Horton's for a chicken wrap and then we still had to snack sushi and smoked salmon afterwards that were served at the reception. Oh, and it was just as cold inside as outside. So we ditched early. Partied at another friends which was a blast, but I spent 25 dollars on a cab ride home. Uncool. I didn't realize I was so far away from my parents place. Ugh. Interview was today. I felt like a fool. I was so nervous, I wasn't being myself..and I HATE that. I don't think i said what I wanted too, and it freaked me out that my friend Jay was in the interview and asking me questions none the less. I just felt awkward. UGGGGGGGGH! I'm so frustrated with myself cause I want this job sooooo bad. I'm praying it wasn't as bad as I thought it was...but somehow my every thought keeps moving back to "what I SHOULD'VE said". *sigh* That's all I've got. Oh, but I did look fabulous in the black dress for the wedding...and I bought an interview outfit in under 15 minutes. I don't think that's happened EVER--other than the time I bought the two dresses for the wedding. Losing weight has it's advantages.

Work that Body!

So I really think these dresses work magic. I wore the red one today to my Disney interview...and frankly, it went PRETTY DAMN WELL. I think I over practiced my interview answers because the interview didn't seem nearly as hard as I thought it would. BUT, if they like me enough, there WILL be a second one--but according to my friend Jay(who is gonna work his magic to get me the gig) said if you DO get a second one, you're most likely in--it's just a formality. So......BACK TO THE DRESS--on my way TO the interview a girl passed by me as I crossed the street and said "Nice dress!" and I could tell everyone I passed was checking me out...and damn, it feels good. The woman who was interviewing me said the same thing as soon as she saw me. Woooo! in other news, I had to go to my first BlogTO meeting RIGHT AFTER the interview which also turned out well. Cool dynamic of people. It's fun to meet people like that. Although I wish I were a little more like myself at the time. I'm very much an extrovert personality--but I think the stress of the interview wore me out. I was able to get a couple good stories in tho. And I felt good being all snazzed up and fashion forward. In other OTHER news, I'm having a bit of an issue with keeping track of my WW points. It's not that I'm going over my points...I know that I'm not but by the same token I'm probably not using them all up. I am just soooo crazy at work (being the new office manager and still doing some of my old job and training temp after temp to do reception) I have no time to write down and track my points. I AM choosing healthy food--so again, not worried about gaining....just concerned about not tracking and therefore plateau-ing in the future. Meh...whatever. I'm just having a good time. Onto the Kdub/Lesbian wedding weekend. Gotta be careful. So much food...sooooo much booze....and so much "HECK YA" fun. Thanks for tunin' in ladies! Still trying to find the time to comment on your blogs....so much craziness so little time.

I'm almost at 20 pounds gone!

Rawk! I don't know HOW I'm doing this...but I've lost anotehr 2.8 lbs this week! It was 1.4 last week. I'm sorry I haven't been updating recently, but I've been mad busy socializing, writing for Blogto.com and generally getting into mischeif. ;) Bought two new wicked dresses for the wedding this weekend (see updated photos) and I look completely smashing if I do say so myself. The night the photo was taken below I went out with my friend for a girls night at the bar and totally got compliments everywhere....ended up at some random cuties house too. *giggle* Go me! Totally psyched to go back to my home town this weekend and show off the new bod. Ooh and to top things off, I think I have a Production Coordinator interview for a feature animated film! The wicked part....it's with Dreamworks/Disney! Sa-weet! Keep your fingers crossed for me, cause I sooooo have to get out of this humdrum go nowhere job. Hopefully you all are doing well on your weight loss! I swear i'll read and comment in your journals when I get a few spare moments to breathe. :) xoxo!

But I don't wanna stay the same!

Gah! I thought I did pretty well this week--but I see the graph line going straight instead of down. I totally stayed the same. *grumble grumble* Right to the decimal point. I even walked for 5.5 hours yesterday. I decided to even do my measurements and they are the same too. BO-RING. I'm going to try and not let it get me down...I mean, I've been doing pretty well so far...but I was hoping to be that weirdo that the pounds just slid off like magic. I felt skinnier today too. Oh well. No worries. I have a feeling maybe I got off track abit and didn't QUITE stick to my normal regiment. Or maybe I need to finally start going back to the gym I'm almost better from the crash, so I'm sure going back won't kill me. Silly scale. I won't take a baseball bat to you just yet, for next week I'll be a LOSER! (pun obviously intended)
