Sunday Already? Boo :(

Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Well, it’s Sunday, and I’ve done essentially nothing on my paper.  I’m clearly an excellent student.  My goal is to get as much of it done today as possible so I can edit on Monday.

I have some encouraging news to report- I was able to wear my “less fat” jeans yesterday! I tried them on on a whim, and they actually  did up….I didn’t even have to lie down.  I bought 2 pairs of jeans over Christmas 2007, and gradually got too fat to wear them. Now I can wear both pairs and they don’t even cut off my circulation!  I was super excited about the pair I wore yesterday, because being able to fit into them means I’ve lost considerable girth in my butt and thighs….I couldn’t even get them up before!  Anyway, they’re Silver jeans, 32″ waist, and I’m a happy camper.  I can’t wait until I have to buy new jeans because those ones are falling off! Maybe another 15-20 lbs down the road.

I had unexpected company yesterday and didn’t end up doing my workout.  I guess yesterday was my rest day. My body has been a bit sore from Cardio Party, so I guess taking a rest day isn’t a bad thing. I’m getting right back at it today, though. I never thought I would like Turbo Jam- I was SURE I would find Chalene totally irritating- but I actually really like it a lot! It was surprisingly fun, and definitely challenging (at least the cardio party is- the 20 minute, not so much..but I’d do it if I was short on time).

Yesterday I ate some tostitos.  It was a moment of weakness because I was STARVING (BF was in charge of dinner and he moves at a snails pace in every aspect of life- we didn’t eat until 10pm!!).  In retrospect I should have just made something else, like veggies.  I counted the points (6 per serving, in case you were wondering) and got on with life. I’m now in the low sodium zone for the week- I don’t want a salt baby weighing me down for my weigh-in on Wednesday!

I’m going to be moving back home in about a year (I’m away for law school).  I am already stressed about packing up all the stuff I’ve accumulated here, but I was thinking- the move is really good motivation to lose weight because I can just get rid of all my fat clothes!  Stress level immediately lower.  I recently visited a safe house for battered women with my law school, and they have a “store” where the women can go and get whatever they need to set up their own homes (stuff like clothes, bedding, dishes, etc.).  It’s all free, so they really depend on donations. I’m definitely going to be donating a lot of my stuff to that shelter when I leave.

While I’ll be happy to get rid of my fat clothes, I really hope my feet don’t change size too much…I have heard of people dropping shoe sizes when they lose weight.  I have a bit of a shoe obsession and have accumulated a decent collection of Manolos Blahniks, Christian Louboutins, and others….I am NOT getting rid of them, so help me God!!  I’m a fairly skilled ebay shopper, which is how I have managed to afford most of them, but these deals are hard to come by.  Plus, a lot of the styles I have are hard to find..I’d never be able to replace them.  Interestingly enough, the one part of me that has stayed skinny throughout my battle with weight is my ankles.   I think my ankles are the only part of my body that I’m actually 100% happy with.  I’m hoping that means that my feet aren’t carrying extra weight either!

BF’s mom gave me a gift certificate for a high-end department store at Xmas.  I’ve been saving it, trying to decide what to spend it on. Yesterday I randomly wandered into the Chanel boutique to admire all the beautiful things that I can’t afford, and ended up using it to buy a necklace- It’s GORGEOUS! And surprisingly reasonable in price.  Actually, all of their jewellery is very reasonable.  I don’t think there was anything over $450 (which, by Chanel standards, is dirt cheap).  Anyway, I’m super excited about it- I’ve been trying to find a picture of it to post, but apparently it’s a rare design.  I’ll try to take my own photo of it and post it later! I think it’s really unique- it’s a black flower with tiny crystals and pearls embedded into it, and then there’s another little dangle with the CC logo on it.  It’s on a gold chain. I’m not really a gold person but I’ve come to like it recently.

That’s enough about my shopping- I’m off to do some work and then “jam”!  Have a great Sunday, everyone :)

You’ve been warned by the title….

Today was basically the worst day ever. I got up and got ready to go to my presentation.  I had my usual glass of water and multivitamin and packed my breakfast for the road.  BF and I were driving to school, and all of a sudden I feel extremely nauseous.  Next thing I know I’m throwing up IN THE CAR.  We were on a highway, and there was nowhere to stop.  You can imagine what happened to my suit.  I had to clean myself up with paper towel and do my presentation because I didn’t have time to go home and change.  WORST DAY EVER.

I felt better earlier, but I kind of feel sick again now…the only thing I can think of that could have caused this is that I just started a new multivitamin today.  I googled it, and apparently vitamin-induced nausea is quite common.  Either way, what a disgusting experience. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

I just did my 2nd last day of the 30 day shred.  I’m getting kind of bored, so I’m looking forward to doing something different!

Weigh in tomorrow….today really threw me off my game, so I hope my body isn’t protesting as a result. Weigh-In and final 30 Day Shred Measurements coming tomorrow!
