My body is failing me

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I should not be saying those words at 26 years old!
Sunday evening, while making dinner, I got a migraine and popped an Excedrin like I usually do. If I catch it in the “blindness” stage, I usually won’t get a headache. Well, this time the Excedrin didn’t work, and I still got the migraine. Yuck. [...]

A real update - but random thoughts.

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Weight this morning: 194.0 - I believe it now!
Something I am noticing…the more I work out, the more forgiving the scale is if I go off plan. It used to be if I went off plan, I’d be up 1-2 lbs (or more) the next morning. Now, it is .5 lbs, if that. And that’s [...]

A farewell to Lane Bryant

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

LB, for the past 3 or 4 yeasr, we got acquainted with each other. Sometimes I questioned your flowery, foofy muumuu-type tops, but for the most part, you always had something cute and not-standard fat people clothes (albeit, way overpriced). I tried to ignore the fact that I didn’t want to be there, didn’t think [...]

what the?

194.2? Is it for real? I HOPE SO!
That will be a 3.2 lb loss for me since last Friday. I’ll have to see this consistently for a few days in order to believe it’s for real!
Funny how when it’s a good thing, we don’t trust our scales…we think the scale must be off. But when [...]

It’s a blizzard

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

We got hit with a wild blizzard today. I got stranded on my way home and had to call DH to come get me..thank goodness he has a 4 wheel drive truck! My dinky little car could barely make it five minutes from my work before I panicked and pulled into a grocery store parking [...]

Worrying (necessarily? needlessly?)

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

So the last few days I have been eating around 1200-1300 calories. This seems to be the only way my body will drop the weight. It’s frustrating. I’m never really THAT hungry, though last night I was hungry right before going to bed. I am also exercising a lot…the past two days I’ve exercised over [...]

On my way

Posted by: Fat Pants In: workout

So with the beach in 14 weeks (97 days according to hubby), I went to the gym to run. This was a big deal for me, as I forgot my gym pants at home so I had to go home first and change. Usually setting foot  inside my house is death for me in terms [...]

Nothing motivates you like…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

…booking a vacation in Playa del Carmen in July! Holy cow! My dream vacation! Hubby really pulled through on this one!
I have 14 weeks to drop some serious weight and look better than I do now in a bathing suit. I know it’ll be tough, but this is some serious motivation right here!

Baked potato heaven

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Food| workout

Last night on a whim, we had baked potatoes with diced ham, broccoli and sour cream (for me) and broccoli and cheese for DH. I even had a small slice of cake. And today? 197.4! Walla! Only .4 away from my goal this week. I am betting if I stay OP and exercise my butt off [...]

Well…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Yesterday, I had every intention of doing my strength DVD and really kicking some butt. I was under cals for the day and rarin’ and ready to go. Then… DH and I got in a “heated discussion” before he left for class for the evening over an issue that we both feel strongly about. Anyway, [...]
