Ava's Attempt

ava i missed my weight loss buddy!! i hope everything is going okay...go buy some flavored water to make the H2O requirement a little tastier if thats getting you down. feel better :)
 
Thanks guys. I am totally done with this defeatist attitude that I have going on right now. I'm going to run 3 miles today and walk two. I'm going to actually eat some protein today. I'm going to drink my water. I can't be in the FSD anymore...because that isn't what works for me. I've learned what works and what doesn't, and that makes me anxious and stressed. I have SO much to do, but I'm just going to take everything one by one. That's all that I can do. I really appreciate all of your guys support, and I apologize for being so lax on the support from my end. I will change that once I am done right here. I can do this...I've already done so well, why stop now?

My exercise routine is going to go way up. I think most of the reason my diet isn't working right now is because my life is such a mess. I'm not organized whatsoever. I try to do a few hours of homework, a few hours of practice, exercise, lessons and friends into one day (and my mom wants me to get a job ASAP since I quit mine at the beginning of summer). My friends don't make the best choices though as people...well choices I don't really agree with...so I don't know that it will be a problem to limit the time I spend with them.

Hope the rest of you are having good weeks!

Edit: I decided to change my ticker to a larger goal...just so I don't feel like I'm not getting anywhere. I will be able to lessen my goal as time goes on as my ticker moves up...so by the time I change my goal to 110...I will be much more on my way there. And I decided to spread out my deadlines a bit because I don't really need to lose weight for health issues and I don't have anything "big" coming up...so why stress myself? 11 pounds in a month and a half?...I think I can do that. A total of 26 pounds by Christmas?...maybe!

I'm leaving for Florida on Friday...that is going to be a huge challenge because for the most part I won't have a say in what is being eaten. The family I am staying with will provide most of the meals...it's weird, I'm actually looking forward to eating out. Luckily, she cooks a lot of fish and the like down there, so that shouldnt be too bad. Eeeeh.

Sorry...that was really long. :eek:.

Why do we have such a hard time getting organized??? I don't really have too much going on this weekend- so maybe I will make that my number 1 priority. ORGANIZE! Anyway, I'm glad that you are feeling better and have that game face back on :)
 
We know you're here in spirit - and that your support is also there even if it's not in actual posting..

Give yourself a break... you're doing a whole lot - and not taking enough time for yourself... :) Just do one thing at a time and eventually it will all get done

Have a wonderful trip... :)
 
About a week. :( Trust me...I do not want to go. Florida in July..Suuuuper. :rolleyes:

Thank you though, I will miss my weight loss buddy as well...let's both make the commitment to do well this next week while I'm gone and then when I come back we can both share our successes. However...they do have a computer at the house, so I may be able to sneak on sometime. :). Check in on the lot of you...make sure you're all being good.

Organization is...is...impossible for me. I have to clean my room everyday or else it looks like a bomb went off in there. My school stuff is all stacked in odd places...my sheet music is EVERYWHERE...there's really no excuse...but I just go through my days. Funny though, I do know where everything is even in a big mess. *Shrug* What can you do? :)
 
Woohoo, just weighed in today and I'm at 133.5! I feel better knowing that it wasn't all my water weight that dropped off....and after knowing I've been naughty these past few days with the exception of yesterday. I needed that kind of boost. This is right around where I was last year at this time and it feels great.

Hopefully I will be able to lose while I'm gone, or at least maintain.

*goes to change ticker*
 
WOOOO!!! 133.5 is awesome!! i agree, lets do awesome this next week so we can share all our happiness when you get back! try to sneak on-that would be awesome! good luck! i know you can handle yourself well! and thanks for what you said in my diary--it meant soo much to me, you have no idea. its good to know i have people here who understand :eek:
 
You gotta love the ticker move!!! Hope you have a wonderful trip and that you stay inside with air conditioning most of the time!!!
 
Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate all of the support...you are all wonderful. There is a bug going around town and I happened to get it *the DAY before I leave...yuck*. Basically I have a horrible headache, feel weak, have the shivers and a killer sore throat. I tried drinking some tea with honey...helped for a bit but not much. Because I'm so tired and just all around sick feeling, I've only managed about 600 calories for the day. I've been trying to keep up with my water but it's just....so much lol. I decided that it'd be a good idea not to go for a run today...and so I've been a lazy bum all day. I did walk around the mall for about 2 hours doing some last minute shopping but other than that....I'm just going to curl up to a movie and drink tea for the rest of the night. I hate medication but I'm taking some amoxicillin just in case.

Boo sickness. Wasn't actually a TERRIBLE day though. Hope the rest of you had good days!
 
Thanks, mal. :) I'm feeling a bit better this morning but..not much.

Final Weigh in before I leave: 133!

Have a great week everyone!
 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO girl you are rocking that is awsome and glad you feel better have a good time and a wonderful weekend! I missed you also!
 
Glad you are feeling a little better. Have a great trip and talk to you when you get back.

By the way, nice weight in count!!!! Only 8 pounds to go...I think in the Florida July heat you might be able to just sweat that off!!!
 
Hi all, I am back! Sorry I did not get a chance to get on while I was down there, I was sooo darn busy. The good news? I managed to maintain 133 (and I JUST weighed in and its the middle of the day...so I imagine I might be down a bit if I re-weigh in the morning as usual.) I did not drink enough water down there and I work a two-piece rather comfortably. I mean I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely on my way. I was so anxious to get back home because I haven't gone for a run or anything all week and it was killing me. It was good for motivation. I have a lot of catching up to do on journals and such but I hope all of you had a great week as well!
 
Woo, okay, so I've decided not to re-weigh in for a few days. I haven't had anytime to exercise, and I want to start my running up again for awhile and getting my water intake right before I know where I'm at. I am just so thrilled to be back where I was last summer...I remember feeling SO good.

I also got a really expensive ABS dress while I was on vacation....I just walked by it while we were shopping...thought it was gorgeous...they only had a small...so I tried it on just for fun...and bam. I love it. It makes me feel so beautiful. And my hair is growing out....I think by Christmas I will be so happy. I'm already happy. Sorry, I ramble.

So my plan for today is to go for a 3 mile run and then walk two..Drink all my water, and try to stay low carb. I have a lot to keep me busy today, so I don't *think* that I will have to worry much about overeating...but heck, you never know.

Take care, everyone!
 
Eh I broke my not weighing in for a few days....and I'm glad I did. The scale is at 130.5. However, I realize that this is just natural fluctuations and that I should not be too excited...but hey...the scale said so. :). I'll take what I can get.
 
Congrats Ava !!

I'll be doing nudie cartwheels when I'm 5.5 lbs away from my goal :p (well probably not:( )
