Woo-hoo I got visitors again! I was starting to think a mod made my thread invisible or something
Sorry to complain some more, but holy damn I feel crappy today. Almost missed my stop on the way to school because I fell asleep on the bus (not the half-asleep I usually do on the bus anyways, but REALLY asleep!) and someone just happened to bump into me on their way off. I was supposed to go to a lab this morning that I don't usually go to because I will miss the one I usually have because of stupid work, but then for some reason, my half-sleeping mind decided it would be a good idea instead to sleep in the library for two more hours! I went to one class, one is cancelled because the teacher is still on their vacation (lucky...), and then I have another before racing to work in the half hour I have between finishing one and starting the other so that maybe I can grab some real food before starting so that I'm not trying to decide between a vending machine dinner or going hungry since the foodcourt closes long before my dinner break.
Oh and this morning I weighed in at 192. Guess I have to go back to my 200-190 ticker again.
If it weren't for the fact that this training is mandatory, and I'm not sure if I can actually get away with playing hookie, I would so skip a day or two. One day off was NOT enough!
Good luck with the food. I say go for the chicken salad.. cause that sounds really yummy right now! Have a great night.. Hope things aren't too crazy hectic.
Well after talking to Josh on my way downtown, he talked me down from getting a big bowl of pasta to a turkey & bacon wrap, which was much more appealing to me than salad, no matter what was in it Sometimes ya just need to have the sense talked into you rather than running around in a half-panic from stress.
I am, however, having a diet coke, and nobody will convince me otherwise
You have no idea how many times in the past I've worked myself into a panic over one thing or another, and then all it takes is that adorable, logical boy to talk me down and show me that all you gotta do sometimes is think it through and its not nearly as hard as you thought. I tell you, I'm not letting go of that one!
HI beagle sorry I've been gone so long! Yeesh! Josh certainly sounds like a keeper! That kind of support is so nice to have. Get some rest and keep that good work on the move I will try to be back tomorrow
Today I am doing much better! I slept in through my first class, which really meant I could have had up to 3 and a half hours more sleep (since the class is an hour and a half and then I have two hours until the next), but I got up by 10 and didn't have to leave until just after noon. Also, because as it turns out I'm getting a heck of a lot more money on my next check than normal -I'm getting my tuition reimbursment plus two weeks of full time hours, so I'm looking at almost $2500 - I decided to go shopping before work, and picked up two new pairs of shoes and a new handbag! I don't know what it is about buying new thigns that makes some girls feel better about themselves and the world, but whatever it is, it definitely works a lot better than eating! Got some black and white track shoes and some brownish mary-jane style slips. Very cute!
I've been doing well in terms of food too today. I didn't manage to get breakfast, but for lunch I had a "homestyle" turkey and cheese sandwich, and a bowl of broccoli soup - so good ^_^ It was really filling so I probably won't even want to eat until its about time to go home, and then I can just have a peice of toast or something when I get home.
Wow.. sounds like you are doing great Ooh and the new shoes!! They sound adorable. When I get off another 5lbs, I get new shoes, and the 5lbs after that I get a new pair of pants!!
I have new-clothes rewards for weight loss too, but all of mine are for sexy new underwears. I think its like for every 10 lbs gone I'll get a new bra/panty set, but if (no, WHEN!) I get down to 150 I'm splurging on a fitted corset-type dealie. Sorry if its TMI but I just love those things, I got something like that to wear under my grad dress in high school, and first of all, those things give wicked support without puttin all the weight of the "girls" on your shoulders like a regular bra, and dang it looks good
So I should have gotten new bras, but I didn't maintain, and I needed new shoes anyways. If I can keep it at or below 190 for 3 weeks, THEN I'll get my real reward!
the rewards always feel like the best part of this whole thing, lol your doin great, a setback here and there doesn't kill you. only makes ya stronger yada yada and all that. Keep up the fantabulous job
Hey Girlfriend I Am So Glad You Have That Money To Go Shopping And Reward Yourself! You Deserve It Big Time! Keep Up The Good Work And Keep That Sweety Josh! I Am So Glad Things Are Going So Much Better For You! Woooohooooooo Lets Get In Them 80's Girlfriend You Can Do It!
Today is going pretty good too For breakfast, I had an eggwhite omelette and toast, I'm working on a chicken-and-veggies lean cuisine right now, and have a chicken and pasta lean cuisine waiting for me for lunch. I gotta be thankful for small miracles, I guess because I had my eye set on chinese food today but they only take cash, and as it turns out, I didn't have any cash! I had to go to the mini grocery store in the mall to get lunch and saw that the lean cuisines were really cheap! (well, I didn't *have* to, but nothing else in the food court that took mastercard really appealed to me - greasy tacos or greasy burgers? Hmm...).
This morning I weighed myself, and was down to 191, so I think it's manageable to get back to 190 for next monday
