Before After

Not to bad

Hello ladies. Hope you all are have a terrific Thursday, lol.

I am in the computer lab waiting on my next class to start. I just bought my books for this semester. OMG!!! It should be illegal for a professor to want 3 books for 1 class! I spent $275 already and I have 3 more books to get :( This is a major bummer! Only 1 more year and I'm outta here, thank you Jesus!

On the weightloss front:

Last night wasn't so bad. But I wish I hadn't had any because the party was kind of...how do I say this??? LAME! So I should have just not had any and would have been fine. Oh well, lesson learned. I only had 2 margaritas. One frozen and 1 regular. It was 10 points :( BUT I didn't eat anymore so I only use 9.5 of my extra 35 points this week.

I have been on plan today. I had a special K bar and a banana for breakfast (with water of course) and then I just had my Hostess 100 cal cakes(with water) for snack. After class I'm going home and having a salad, smart one and orage for lunch. Then I will be at the gym! So all is not lost. Tuesday is 5 days away so I can still see the lost I want if I get my butt in the gym everyday and stay on plan. I'm hopeful!

I was asked the other day about my weight loss. Someone said it looks like I've been losing weight. Which I'm proud to say I HAVE! Doesn't that feel good to say ladies? Well they said "is it hard, I just don't know how?" and I said "I didn't either, I just dug in! I read and read and read about eating right and exercising. Now I'm just putting it into action" And I just started thinking how much I've learned on this journey.

Sidenote: I hate sitting in computer labs where people can see your screen. I do NOT need you reading what I'm trying. It's none of your business. Then don't look above the screen to the wall when I see you looking. I ALREADY KNOW YOU WHERE. *sigh*

I've learned:

  • Not to diet but make small lifestyle changes I can live with
  • Water isn't so bad...neither is Crystal light
  • A little cooking will get you a long way
  • Exercise is a must...No denying it or getting around it. Just gotta do it!
  • Your weightloss journey is personal and sensitive, don't tell those that will take it lightly and criticize you if you stumble.
  • Except that sometimes you're going to mess up and not be on plan but pick it back up and move on.
  • Food is not for comfort, prayer is

Those are just a few.

On a happier note... I FIT INTO MY SKINNY JEANS TODAY! When I bought them they were snug and every time I tried to wear them I got that God awful muffin top. Well today they got on (with a little wiggling) and it looks good. Yay. Small victories is what counts!

Another small victory: I haven't had ANY kind of soda, diet or regular in 2 weeks! I've been drinking only water and 1-2 crystal lights a day. Major improvement from my 2-3 a day. I've learned that water with a meal is not the end of the world. Now Precious follow suit and drop the Pepsi, LOL. J/K!

Ok, gotta log my points, search for some textbooks online and call mommy before I go to class. Ciao bellas!

Good lessons

Those are some good lessons to learn.  I'm glad you shared, especially this one:

  • Food is not for comfort, prayer is
  • I really needed to read that.  Thanks!

    Ha, Ha!  You called Precious out!  She is doing a lot better though, so you'd be proud of her!

    Skinny jeans

    YAY!! Good job on the shrinking, again, you can never hear it too many times, hehe. I'm sorry about your professors being evil and making you spend a fortune on books but...you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel soon enough! It's all worth it girl.

    About computer labs..I know..I hate them because of all the nosy people..why can't they just mind their own buisness??

    Great job!

    Sounds like you might have this moderation thing under control.  Good for you!  It's so great when people start noticing our efforts.  I'm so glad you were able to fit into those jeans too!  Keep up the great work!

    Lessons

    I loved reading the list of things you have learned. :-)

    Hooray for looking great in your skinny jeans!!

    i have no skinny jeans!!

    Sounds sad but girl, I look bad enough in a regular pair and I can imagine what a "skinny" pair would look like!! 

    I have to say, "I think the Fruities suck bung-hole!!" Those things are ridiculous. (sorry if someone else is reading this and they really like them.)

    Have a great day and you are doing fabulous!!

    taebo.diva

    Drinks......

    Margaritas will do it!  lol.  10pts for two?  wow I had no idea they were that much!

    Dang!

    10 points for 2 margaritas???

     

    EEK!  But. you had the extra points so I'm proud of you, keep up the great work!

    You are doing so well with your points.

    ok in my complete companion book it has for a 8floz. prepared margarita =3pts.  now the question is how many oz. did you have in one serving? was it in a small rocks glass.  how did you calculate it? (i'm tring to help you ouf)lol you know a fuzzy navel is only 2 pts. that is without the vodka.

    precious

    oh by the way

    I have fallen off the path of drinking less pepsi's I am back up to almost 3 a day the REGULAR one's.  I will try to decrease.  Thanks for getting me pumped up.

    What am I doing now,

    drinking a pepsi lol (I will start tomorrow today is ruined)
