The Sonnet

Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

The Sonnet

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They’re conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that’s okay, because you’re very choosy with your affections anyway. You’d absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You’re already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there’s no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

Mini Setback # 1

Filed Under General | 5319 Comments

At my WW meeting last night, I walked in a bit sheepishly. I had earned 14 activity points last week - 14! - through kickboxing, running, dancing, elliptical machines and step. You would think I would lose this week, right?

 

WRONG. 

I also ate. A LOT. On Sunday, I made Biscuit and Chicken Gravy casserole. Which, according to my humble calculations, work out to about 15 points per serving…and i had two in one sitting. Two days in a row! So for 60 points, and 2 meals, in addition to my other regular food intake, I negated whatever good I could have done with the exercise. 

When will I ever learn!?

Happy New Year

Filed Under goals | 984 Comments

I thought I would start off the new year with a fervent wish to hit 125 by my 30th birthday. Any number below 125 will be a bonus ).  I have about 4 months and a bit before that momentous occasion, and I am optimistic (ish). I just have to remember the three M’s: (a) moderation, (b) motivation and (c) meaning.

Moderation: I am hoping that I can be moderate in my food consumption. I don’t have to give up everything I love, nor do I have to sabotage myself when I do have a bad day. I have to remember that it’s ok to have a little bit of everything, as long as I make sure it’s not in excess. Within points. Within reason.

Motivation: This is the hardest thing for me, I think. Staying motivated in the face of adversity, remembering that a little goes  a long way, maintaining a healthy attitude towards weight loss - these are things that don’t come very easily to me. And I definitely find it very hard to sustain any momentum I gain from my motivated “jumpstarts”. This year, I hope I can continually approach each day with a renewed faith, dedication and optimism.

Meaning: This is rather obscure, but I needed another “M” word :) Essentially what I mean is that I’m doing this for a reason. Weight loss has a special significance - losing weight will give me the confidence I need to tackle my other issues. It won’t solve anything, but that bit of self confidence is something I need. The process of losing weight is also making me realize what issues I do have, it’s also teaching me what I have to do, and it’s making me learn the value of things and people. I’m discovering myself, every day. And I hope to always remember that to me weight loss means learning to appreciate the hard work that goes into taking care of yourself, and that I can finally prove that I do believe I’m worth that.

Here’s to a wonderful 2009 for us all.
