So this is my attempt at keeping a journal, I am hoping it will make me be more responsible.

What spurred this in is 4 shots of tequila, 2 tequilla sunrises and a smirnoff ice cooler last night at the concert. I know alot better than that, and have been living better for almost a year (started my journey in September). But last night I just didn't care. 3 guys bought me drinks (oh hellll yes!) and the rest I bought myself, but I know how many calories is in each.. I should have been more responsible. Btw does kissing burn calories? :D I heard it does!

Also I have been letting my stress get to me, but I think yesterday's splurge in both the alcohol and shoe department cured that. Yes, shoes. A pair of black boots... soft leather... gorgious.. and a pair of red shoes... to die for. Cost a bloody penny now. I have now made a pact with myself that I am cut off from all un-neccesary spending till I get my belly button ring the end of August.

But I have to say, today i feel great. I am so lucky I don't suffer from hangovers. But boy, I feel like sunshine and butterflies. My stress is gone.. I am relaxed.. happy.. the sky is blue the sun is shining.. and I feel like yesterday was a major de-stress day. The shoes, boots, music (concert I went to is Dr Hook for all you classic rock lovers) all worked like an anti-depressant.. and I feel wonderful. Ready to tackle the world again. The fact I lost weight this week even with my binges has made me thrilled aswell, and I know I will do better this week.. (though my TOM is coming).

I just feel, awesome today. Truely wonderful.

Weight loss for first week of July: 2.5 lbs

Oh yes, last thing.. because my spending got really out of hand I am going to be making a budget.. and bundget everything I usually spend money on (green teas in coffee shops) and make myself behave!

Love ya all.. thanks for reading!!

P.S. FSD, Going Down Together and BBR Clubs are the BEST!!!

Hi Avi,
Glad you started a journal :)

Oh, and I hear ya about tequila...
It does have a way of catching up to you though ;)

You are so close to your goal - 64.5 pounds is an amazing amount to lose, and only 15.5 more to go!!

You're in control, and YOU CAN reach your goal - just move on, forget about last night and start fresh with your next meal.

Drink extra water today to help flush your system!
 
OHHH a Dr. Hooky!! THere are WAY too few of us :rolleyes: How are they in concert?! Hubby and I would KILL to go but alas, not possible :eek:

Glad to see you started your diary - you'll do great and we'll help! :D
 
Awesome, this is my second time seeing them :D Just GOT to love them!!!

Soo.. I been generally good all day, but got my TOM. You girls know what I am refering to. That means, I am on steady meds now for atleast 3 days... and not sure if they are good meds either except they take away the majority of the pain. So I say they are good. But I get gassed up from them.. :(
I am also fairly bloated right now.. o.o But I refuse to stop walking!!! 30 min walk down today... another 30 minutes to come.

I worry constantly about my weight.. like.. was it that low because I was dehydrated... but I wasent that dehydrated... was it just lucky.. was my scale being wonky... I weighed myself twice just to make sure.. scale red the exact same thing. I am paranoid, but have a healthy fear of scale.. so I don't step on it for fear it will be higher.. except for my once a week. I am going crazy lately when I am at home I want to snack... but I just keep on sticking gum in my mouth to prevent that.

So many festivals coming up in the city... that involve food like mini donuts and elephant ears... oy. I thought the summer would be easier... because its so hot I would just want to eat alot of iced things.. which aren't too bad.

Drinking green tea right now.

I threw my hip out today, but I think I got it back in... its stuff like that, that annoy me. When I have the desire to walk.. but my body is in too much pain to do so. Its sooo unfair.

Thats all my kevetchings for now...

Except this woman is trying to set me up with her grandson.. o.o

Threw your hip out? That sounds painful!

Glad you had a good time. Sounds like you needed to blow off some steam. It is important to do so sometimes, that is for sure. Jump back on the horse now...we have a challenge coming on!!
 
Hehehe, yes Pine. :)

I am really debating changing my end goal of 150. According to the figures I fouind out including frame size, my ideal weight would be: 131 - 147. So 150 is a bit high. I am thinking I should lower it to 140 once I get to 150 and get my belly button ring. I look at myself now and think that just another 15 lbs off wont be enough.
 
Damn this is getting annoying, when I start walking for the first 3 blocks my right hip bothers me.. then goes away. I wonder whats up with that. TOM = very painful today... I walked to work again and a few blocks before I got there (25 block walk to work) I had to slow down because I was feeling it. And now I am at work and feeling it major. Just hurts like hell... I wont be doing any stomach crunches anytime soon... just weights for me.

Oh.. in the non-dieting world news.. my ex-bf got me Sims 2 for my birthday (belated birthday present)... so now I will spend hrs designing families :D

Oh yes, got a very expencive ($75) massage appointment on July 25th. But he is the best. I am hoping that will help re-kick start my body.. massages do wonders for metabolism and circulation. I don't class that as unruley spending as its for my health and well-being.

So Far;

Food today: none, with cramps.. dunt feel like eating.
Water today: 2 glasses

 
This guy does deep tissue massages, which can be a little painful but very very good for the body. My calves always feel 10 times better after the massage.
 
I have Sims DEluxe, Pet shop, and Magic - LOVE them!!! LOL I spent HOURS the first few days of each new version to set everything up and play it! LOL

I hope TOM goes away soon for ya and your hip gets better! The massage will do ya good - enjoy it enough for all of us who aren't lucky enough! :D
 
Ok, did it. 8 glasses of water today. :)

TOM still hurting.. >.<

I LOVE desiging people and homes.. and working with little stories in my head! But I don't like playing the game so much.. more just desiging everything.. :D Such a horrible thing for me to start doing.. playing Sims... I loose sense of time to it :p

1 work day done... yay!

Hey Bize, if we ever meet IRL (prob not likely.. but if) I promise to give you a massage. I am nearly as good as the person I am going to, just without the credentials. Every single person I lay hands on tells me I should become a massuse (except for the crowd who thinks while I'm gifted in that I should do something that inloves my brain more..)

:) And I give em free :D
 
Hi Kat!
Hope your hip gets better fast. Thats one reason I stop exercising I always end up with a hurt ankle or knee and then don't exercise for a couple days and there it goes down the drain. I just get lazy and don't start back up. You won't do that though now will ya? :)
Sounds like your doing good though. I am so tired and achy around TOM time. Thats all got to stop, we have to exercise its good for the body and mind :p.
I love deep tissue massages. They hurt practically the whole time your on the table but afterwards they make the most difference in how your body feels.
Keep up the great work. :D
 
Glasses of water yesterday = 11 :D
I am walking again today, home from work. Just stopped at the cafe for my internet connection and green tea. Today I have an appointment with a lady to set up my volunteer sceduale for The Taste of Edmonton, a food festival I am volunteering for. Ya, brilliant. I volunteer for the 1 food festival a year. And not only that.. for every hour I work I get 2 free food tickets. o_O Ohh.. that will be fun. The festival runs over 10 days and I think I need to volunteer for a minimum of 12 hrs, so thats atleast.. 24 food tickets... *hides from the food*. Talk about a test of willpower. Like holy shnittzle.

My heel hasen't totally healed yet... I wore new boots without socks and danced in them.. anyway.. i got blisters on the back of my one heel, and they opened up and the dye got into them so I was busy dis-infecting them with Tequila for lack of rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.. and then got bandaids and polysporen. Anyway.. I am sick of babying my feet... rebandainding.. re-polysporening.. so on Thursday hell or high water I am sticking socks on and going ice skating. Screw my injured heel. Ice skating is my Thursday activity to make sure on Friday there is good news in the morning :p 2 hrs on skates does wonders. I don't expect much this week thought... TOM and all. grrrr....

Going to go back to the international street performers festival tonught so more walking around... favorite entertainers:
Look up that website.. the guys are unbeleiveable.

Found out I have to set a timer when playing sims.. or I forget to sleep. :D

*runs along*
 
Those food festivals are usually fun--I've gone to Taste of Chicago a bunch of times and it was great music in addition to the food... Use the coupons as an opportunity to try something you would't normally have... and i'm sure there will be good choices to have... :)

Tequilla as disinfectant? Wow that's like right out of the wild west :) at least your tootsies will be tasty :) hope they are feeling better soon
 
Hey, Kat! Just dropping by to say hi. Sorry you haven't been feeling too well this week, what with your TOM and all. But we just have to work through it, don't we? It's the bane of the female life! :(

Oooooooo ... a food festival. Dangerous, but oh so delicious. :cool: Good for you that you volunteer! Good luck on trying to be good around all that food. I know you can do it!

I don't think you ever got an answer about kissing using up calories, did you? I also heard that it did, but I haven't been able to put that to practice for quite some time now! :p I think you should do a test project and report back to us!

Hope you get to feeling better soon!
 
I did do a test and thats why I asked :D

*hides*

Its nothing serious.. just a little fooling around with this guy I know... :D

Thanks for dropping by!! And yes.. dangerious but oh so delicious is right.. what... with green onion cakes, deep friend ice cream.. corned beef on rye.. I will be in food heaven and trying not to nibble on the clouds :p

Click to expand...

Hehehehe.. I am quite a bit of an improviser. Clean socks for bandages, tequila as a disinfectant.. keychain ring to keep my shirt mostly shut (lost the string to the dryer) masking tape to keep my high heel shoes on (hot weather my feet slip inside the leather and make it hard to walk.. so I use balls of tape to tape my feet inside them from the bottom) :D

Hehehe.. I am so weird.. :D

I wish kissing burned enough cals to do any good. I'm married but that doesn't mean its not still hot quite often ;). I can easily say it doesn't burn as many cals as I would like :p.
I couldn't handle that much free greasy fatty delicious food I think I would just give the tickets to my friends and let them all go get fat. :D Maybe it will prove to be a good test. You will have fun atleast.
I need to learn to improvise its not weird its crafty and creative. :)
I'm due for my butt kickin right bout now since I'm sitting on it and have been for the last 2 hours. :D
Hope you have a great day.
 
*kicks LA* off buttskie! :p I am thinking of saving them up and giving em to my parents.. or choosing 1 treat for the last day, saving enough tickets for that.. and giving the rest to my parents and friends to get fat off of :D

Anyone know the best wart remover? I just got some extra strenght liquid stuff and some bandaids.. I have about a zillion of the buggers on my feet and want to deal with them once and for all. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get rid of them using the liquid? I have like.. 6 on one foot.. 5 on the other. Freezing has been tried on them twice by my old doctor and didn't work.

Okie dokies. got to go find the place I have the appointment at. toodles.
 
Cheated... mini donuts.. o.o
