So... My weight fluxxes according to stress levels. I'm actually one of those fools who will loose a lot of weight when under emotional duress (I can hear a sighhh.. of "WTF girl?!!!" out there/ what a blessing...) and yeah that's a great reward for stressing myself out, HOWEVER, in good times & calm waters I tend to put those Lbs back on.. I would like to not have to pick fights with my boyfriend in order to get into better shape. And I am seeking long term health from actually taking care of myself
My problems {Challenges} right now are that I have put on a few Lbs from my birthcontrol pill (Yaz); I am more tired, nauseous and bloated physically (and mentally more moody) since I started this pill. I am starting to level out.. so if this is the case & things are leveling out, then there's no excuse to hold onto the 5-7 lbs I've put on in the past few months of being on this pill..
GOALS: I want to run Grandma's half marathon again and be in shape enough to make it fun! So, if I am missing 25-35 lbs of dead weight I will enjoy the run even more with my best friend!
MOTIVATION:I have a vacation in Mexico coming up in the first week of March= swimsuit weather photographs/ That's >2 months to drop @ least 12lbs! (half of this is probably water weight & needs to be flushed, it's always the first 5 lbs that are the easiest to loose, BUT it's that last 5 that really really sucks though!!!)

Tell me about it
I'm working on taking off 75 lbs , 40 pounds of which are from the miracle of the Depo shot. Stupid fricken shot.... ;)
Man, I wish I was going to Mexico! I have a friend who went down there and her pictures were amazing. Although right now I would probably be wearing a mumu to the beach if I did. ;) haha I'm lucky though - we live about 15 min from the Florida coast right now anyhow.
Keep on track today! It's almost the end of the week and I know for me that it's easy to get lazy and get the "I've been good all week - this one little thing won't hurt me..."
You are practically in Mexico.. My back yard is like a freezer in need of an overhaul; imagine lawnchairs that are glued to the patio by sheets of ice! I think the collective of people in this region will gain 5 lbs of insulation over the fall, but burn it off from shoveling their cars out of snow banks over the winter..
RESISITNG TEMPTATION...This could be tricky!...I am grabbing cocktails with friends on Saturday, but the only fortunate thing about this doggone birth-contol pill is that I get too nauseous after 1 1/2 drinks to keep going. My body is still faked out as if I were knocked up! So I won't be consuming my calories through the sugary sugary goo of alcohol! (& I picked a restaurant that I DON'T love, that also has some vegan/vegetarian options so I think I am fairly safe there..) I think Saturday morning activity definitely calls for "a double" ....about 6-10 miles on the treadmill to prepare for the potential danger of dining out, one never knows!
