Inching back up!

Ahh, I've been slacking off lately and the weight is creeping back on. I'm at 124 lbs right now. Eating way too much junk lately! (I ate a chocolate bar and a chocolate chip muffin last night simply out of boredom)...
I really want to start eating healthier again.

Still 117

I'm still 117, I don't know if I'll make my 115 goal by Saturday or not! Saturday night is a party, too, and that's sure to push it over the limit.
Anyway. Every day is a battle... I was just daydreaming about a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries, and snapped out of it, telling myself "NO!", hehe. Then in walks my coworker with a bag of McDonalds food. uggggggggh! Luckily I'm flat-broke and can't afford it even if I wanted to. (Seriously. I passed by some homeless men on my way home from work who had more change in their hat than I do in my bank account)

117

I'm down to 117, and have decided to change my goal to 115lbs. I've lost over twenty pounds since I started a few months back, and it feels great.

Doing good.

It's been rough but I'm still doing well, and down to 121 actually. I've been walking alot, eating less junk and more good stuff, doing aerobics more often. I'm about twenty pounds less than when I started in the summer.

It's tough though. Giving up alot of my habits. I used to snack alot - I really had to cut back on the amount of food I was used to eating, and that was hard. Last winter I really packed on the pounds, and I am NOT letting that happen this winter! I do miss my morning lemon-cranberry muffins though, sigh. Those were so good.

I'm still here.

Just popping back in to say hello! I'm still doing the healthy regime, and I've maintained my goal weight (in fact I'm a pound under)... It's alot of hard work though, let me tell ya. No walk on easy street.

I've been eating small portions and walking every day, cutting out extra calories, exercising. I'll slip up here and there and gain a pound or two, but then it's right back at it.

Hope everyone's doing well. I've got to catch up on everyone's blogs!
Toodles.

LOL NOT SO FAST

Okay so, I made my goal, and as I expected I gained some weight again. LOL. I totally knew it was going to happen.

It was purely my own doing. I had a friend over and we basically just went out of our minds, and baked a bunch of muffins (pumpkin chocolate chip muffins... omg. they. were. the shit.) and drank our faces off. So then of course I was like "Hey I already botched my diet, I think I'll use this as an excuse to eat everything that comes within a five mile radius of my mouth", which I proceeded to do. People, I was eating chocolate chips out of the bag by the handfull. For god's sake I was drinking straight tequila out of a Denny's mug. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Ok but here's the thing, even though I gained two pounds over the course of a three-day binge, I'm still fourteen pounds lighter than I was a couple months ago and I was feeling fantastic. So fantastic, in fact, that when I happened to unfortunately bump into my ex (we lived together for years) in the grocery store with his new girlfriend, it didn't even bother me because I looked SO MUCH BETTER THAN HER. haha. OK I know that's completely shallow and awful. But I don't care.
I am just reeeeeally glad that I was looking good, dressed great, fourteen lbs lighter, and laughing it up with my friends... Instead of what I usually am like when I go to the grocery store: Hair in a ponytail, minimal makeup, embarassing "laundry day" clothes. Heh.

Yeah so. I have a doctor's appt this afternoon and it's a full physical, so they'll be weighing me. I'm curious to see what I weigh on the doctor's scale, and if it differs from my scale at home. I'm half-expecting it to say I weigh like eight pounds more than I thought I did, lol... I guess we'll find out!
And now it's back to the old exercise and healthy eating regime. Weekend's over! I'm gonna lose those two stupid pounds, hee hee.

guess who made their goal? me.

I'm finally a solid 125 after weeks of weird weight changes. I made my goal! God, it's been hard, but so worth it. If I hadn't done this I'd still be not fitting into my clothes.

Don't worry, I won't disappear from this place. I have a feeling it's going to be just as tough maintaining this weight as it was losing it.

keep going

Well I did really good yesterday. Ate healthy, exercised. No change in my weight yet, but I just have to keep going. I took the bus in to work this morning since it was raining, and then made myself take the stairs up to the 6th floor since I didn't get the exercise from walking.

survived thanksgiving

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. It was Thanksgiving last weekend (we celebrate it earlier than you americans, for anyone who's confused about that) and uhhh... well.... I did okay. Not great, but okay, haha.
I didn't lose any pounds over the weekend of course, in fact I'm up half a pound. But I'm not upset about it, because it was Thanksgiving. Everyone deserves a break on the holidays.
But now it's back to the regular routine. I just know I'm going to hit my goal in the next couple days, it's only a pound and a half away.

I shouldn't really log this.

The scale went down from 127 to 125 (my goal) this morning. I know I shouldn't log it yet though, because as soon as I do it'll shoot back up again... But I'm going to log it as 126.
I only exercised a bit last night because I'm not feeling well, but tonight I'll hopefully get in an hour of aerobics.

Happy Friday everyone!
