In Search of my Body...Not The One I Ate.. #4 "Inspiring Others... 1 Tiara at a Time"

[3DisneyKids]

Love seeing the before and after pics...Erika, nice race shirt in the drinking one..

Because who else would go out drinking while wearing a marathon shirt???

 

[AKASnowWhite]

Those pictures were an awsome reminder, Erika. Thanks for putting those back out there again.

Erika, you are totally a different person. TOTALLY. You look amazing. Is it wrong that I see the progress in you more than in myself?

Sadly, I think it's normal. We tend to be so much harder on ourselves than we are on other people. So. Look again at those photos as if they were two complete strangers....they are pretty awesome women, are they not?

Speaking of Florida and being warm....

I have to tell you we did have a COLD front come through today...It went down to 65 degrees..

oh poor baby. It's BITTERLY cold there


which makes me wonder....Kelly/Bella (you had BETTER be sleeping...)....did you get your heat fixed????

Because who else would go out drinking while wearing a marathon shirt???

Yeah. But that shirt says "I can drink this, 'cause I'll just burn it off in the morning"

Speaking of "burning this off in the morning"......I'm headed to bed. I have a 7:00 AM appointment with the trainer at the gym. Yes, that's what I said. 7:00 AM. Not my typical workout time....<sigh> gotta get up at some God-awful-no-one-is-up-except-LisaPR hour

OY. Not a morning person.

E - loooove those pics...you an Liz are on my wall now...pinup girls....can I get your aughtograph...

This has been one he!! of a year...and even though I am down only 13 pounds...it is not up 13...and I have progresses in my life that doesn't involve weight...so make this year about me and my want for a better me...

Yesterday..calories: 1500 exactly

Today...under 1000 so far...

Tom is moving out...so the sofa does not look appetizing...

If I looked at loosing my first 10%...starting at 258 which I did...I only have....12 more pounds to go... Hey...that does feel d@m good...thanks Liz...

I am fat...and I will sit on you and jump up and down until your stomach explodes...
Love seeing the before and after pics...Erika, nice race shirt in the drinking one..

I think she should post one where she is running with a drink in the t-shirt....that would be on my screen saver...

E - thanks for putting up those pics again. It's weird seeing you two heavy, cause that's not how I think of you. But you SO were.

I need an intervention. If I were creating a word picture for you, it would be of me jumping into a vat of reeses peanut butter and chocolate. I have hit the wall. I've gotten nothing done (and not in small part to this board - if I don't log in tomorrow, it's cause I'm taking a work break. Isn't that funny, my break is for work, not from it.) I am not happy eating thoughtfully. It sucks. I want bread and chocolate in king size doses. And pop. Dangit I WANT POP. And now hubs is counting calories and of course not suffering one little bit. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH. And I'm tired. Oh and I haven't even worked out this year. NOT ONE TIME! I think I'm mostly tired. And I think that is where I am starting. I must get my rest under control. No more burning the candle at both ends. Goodnight friends. I'll see you - when I see you. (Who'm I kidding, you know I'll be back first thing tomorrow.) Night.

Heeellloooo!

Wow, I have medicine head. Again with the 6 pages ~ be careful, somebody is going to say this is a message board now.

Just wanted to check in. I am going to try really hard to read everything before I nod off. Off to check the posts...

You know what I do? I eat that stuff until i get sick of it. I do. Now, I gain 4.4 lbs over the holidays, but I do eat what I want if I am CRAVING it. And then I go back to mindful eating.

Girlfriend, I want to eat peanut butter cups EVERY day of my life. Well, not every day, because I do eat them when I want. But yes, I love junk. I eat it. I get over it.

Sorry i've been MIA guys! Work, and getting everything tied up for classes next week, and Bruce has been sick, so he was actually home the past few days, so we were cramming in some quality time. We played scrabble, he let me win, we're so lame

Liz - i love the new hair color, very sassy! Still praying for everyone!

Paula - i'm glad your training sessions are going well!

Dawn - I'm so glad you and Carsyn had that breakthrough!

Erika - So sorry to hear about the race, i know you were looking forward to it! I'm so glad the pupster is OK!

I love the tiara pics, you guys look great!

Good lord this thread has been on steroids lately, you ladies have been posting like crazy! I'll have to make sure not to take any more days off, it's tiring trying to catch up!

The skim milk v. whole milk issue - i will only use skim milk, but it isn't for any fancy "organic" or similar reasons, it's for the simple fact that it is what i've always used, and if i try to drink whole milk, i feel like it's so think that i have to chew it yuck

WELCOME EREAN & MELISSA!!!

AIMEE - Congrats on 40 lbs!!! Thats awesome!

Lyz - step away from the peanut butter cups... I hope you have a good night!


SO i've been doing really well sticking to my points and have worked out 5x this week, so i'm hitting that part of the challenge. My cold finally disappeared but unfortunately Bruce got it, so now he is miserable and grumpy!!! Classes start next week and I'm a little nervous......

I'm kind of bummed, i don't really have anything to post as I'm in a pretty boring rut right now. Nothing really is going on, eat sleep work workout eat sleep, rinse repeat.....

I hope everyone is having a good night, and staying warm! It's been icy/sleety and freezing here all day.....

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi Stacy! I was going to ask how WW was going! What is your weigh in day? This is your first week? It sounds like you're doing awesome.

Thank you for the prayers. Thank you so much.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Lyz - address the craving and move on. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully, it will be free of peanut butter cups.

You can do this....

Paula

 

[goofyfan-12]

um Stacey - you are starting graduate school next week. There is nothing boring abot that. You are so rocking your program this week which is awesome!!!!

My weigh in day is friday, and yes it's my first week so, i'm crossing my fingers!!

THanks

I know, i'm excited about school. It's just weird, i've been so crazy out of my head busy for the past few months with work, and now, it's still really busy, but only during normal work hours for the most part, and i'm home in the evenings and I don't know what to do with myself. I work out, eat dinner, and then sit here going, oh my god, i'm so insanely bored.

It's upsetting to me, but my job has all but murdered my social life. For several months out of the year, i'm practically nonexistant, all my life consists of is WORK WORK WORK from the end of August until January. Mix that in with the wedding, and moving an hour FURTHER away from my friends than I already was, and I sit here feeling like I have nothing going on. Add Bruce's nutso work schedule to that, and i'm alone. A LOT, and it's very lonely....

IDK, i don't mean to be Negative Farmer.

Thanks for the support on my plan. Thats the one positive, normally feeling blue like this i'd eat myself into a larger dress size. I've been snacking a little on healthy stuff, but once i hit my points, thats it, no more. I haven't even let myself delve into my "extra weekly points", so hopefully I will start to see results...

something tells me that you will meet some folks at school and between the school work and hanging out with some new friends, you won't be bored anymore.

Way to go on working the WW program. I am so happy that it is working for you (and for not eating your way through to another dress size).

Keep it going!!!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Stacy, I get the lonely. And let down from big life things. Totally.

I am super impressed that you have not dipped into the weekly points. I totally eat mine!

Also, gang...only one Diet coke today! Yippee! Do I get a star for that? And only one yesterday!

Of course you do!

That's pretty much how I have been cutting down on it. I used to have 2-3/day. then it was one a day. And over christmas I tried to do every other day. And now I have been diet soda free for 4 days! But, not booze free.

Stacy: So jealous of you going to grad school. I do have my M.S. but I would SO love to go back and get another degree. And great job with the WW!

Paula: Any word on the shirt?

Amiee-Feel better. I was drugged up on cold meds throughout xmas. Today is the first day I haven't coughed. Which means I won't be hacking up a lung during the 1/2. Thank goodness.

Lyz,

As for the challenge I did get in my exercise (shred DVD).
