Weigh in (End of Week 5)

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I was surprised to see down to 200.8 this morning. Looking at my calories, I have been right on track except for one day, and I haven’t exercised since Monday (shame on me). So, while I am officially down only .2 from last week’s weigh in, I’ll take it. Being only .8 from 199 lbs [...]

Still hanging on

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I’ve been MIA for a few days mostly due to work issues and studying intensely for my exam (two weeks from tomorrow! ahhh!!!!) I go from feeling good about it to worrying endlessly that I won’t remember everything and fail miserably. Ugh. It’s been a rough week.
Sadly so far, I’ve only gone to the gym [...]

Why do I quit?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I was reading a post on another blog that talked about starting over for the third, fouth, fifth, twentieth, fiftieth time. I can relate to that so well. All in all, this is the fourth time I have been on the cusp of 199, gotten below it, only to give up and quit because of [...]

Coming up for air

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

From the bingefest that was my weekend, that is. I don’t quite know what got into me. Why did I suggest Boriello Bros. pizza on Friday? Why did I have that second glass of soda on Saturday? Why did I suggest Chipotle on Sunday? Who knows. I could blame it on TOM, because when that [...]

Verbal vomit

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

It has been a really rough week. My husband has been gone all week during a week when it seems like I needed him the most. He gets back today, thank goodness. I don’t really sleep well when he’s gone so that’s enough stress as it is. Plus he has been on site (he designs [...]

Pardon the previous melodramatic post

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

It has been a really rough day. I’m overwhelmed with stress from preparing for my comps exams in 3 weeks, overwhelmed from my husband being gone, overwhelmed with life, and was really looking forward to getting my dress in the mail and seeing the proud progress I’ve made in four weeks.
And then… disappointment. I just [...]

What do you want from me?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Sometimes that’s what I ask of the weight gods. What the heck do you want from me?
I got my Christmas dress in the mail today. It fits - Kiyonna wasn’t kidding about the size charts. I just have a really fat, ugly, flabby body. I don’t look good in it at all. It would look awesome [...]

Weekend foodfest is gone. Where am I?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I returned to my normal weight this morning and was happy to see it, despite the fact that I felt like I ate too much last night. I guess I didn’t. I went to the gym for a bit yesterday, but didn’t get in as long of a workout as I would have liked, since [...]

*blinks* Tuesday, is that you?

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Why is it that the week that should be relaxing for me seems like it’s not? I feel like the movie Groundhog Day… every day seems like a Monday. And then I think, crap, it’s only Tuesday? Shouldn’t it be Friday by now? It’s going to be a long week.
I went to the gym for [...]

Motivation

Posted by: Fat Pants In: workout

today is a day when I really need some motivation to exercise. It’s cold, gloomy, dreary outside. I only got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night, so I’m pooped. I have a ton of things to do at home. I have thought of every excuse as to why I shouldn’t go to the gym [...]
