Jessie & Angle - Thanks to you both, I'm feeling quite a bit better.
Jessie - Daily weigh in's are really not that great. Weight moves up and down on a daily basis due to water & horemones.. I would suggest doing weekly or even every other week weigh ins. You're more apt to see results & stay motivated that way! Good job on staying OP and not giving up!!
I had a semi-good day today. I've been awake since 9am Tuesday morning (as of right now that is 40 hours and 5 minutes) so I'm really dragging butt big time I've put in 16 hours at work between last night & tonight, and I have another 6 to go! So my eating has gone down the hole from just being so tired. Today I ate 1 1/2 cheese sticks & 3 bites of rice/chicken stir-fry. Until I came to work, I've had a slice of left-over pizza & half a cookie, just for some energy to stay awake.
6 more hours... Than I shall sleep!!!

lalique~ Wow, get some sleep chica! Feel better soon!
JessieCat~ Thank you! I got some good news finally…
AngelMae~ Great job! Keep it up! Could you send me the link for the body for life workout, I’d like to check it out.
Good news at the doctor finally! I’m not dying! Woohoo! Sorry, my parents have been filling me full of all these deadly illnesses I could have and come to find out, it’s my ears and throat. I have a narrow throat which makes it hard to breathe sometimes, and I have always had problems with my ears, but apparently I have gotten accustomed and used to pain in my ears that I shouldn’t be getting used to… Hey, I’m happy with that. Means more Dr. appts., but not as scary anymore! Great weigh in last night as well. No excuses anymore!

I slept for 8 whole hours STRAIGHT today...
I feel like a new woman.
(EDIT) Just so you all know, since we're nearing the end of this challenge (Feb 23rd) I've posted the sign up thread for our next 20-somethings BLC, you can see it here, and please sign up if you're interested in staying with us for another challenge! I hope you all return for the next one!
A whole day without anyone posting? Thats almost unheard of!
Well anyway.. I had a pretty good day today.
I finally told my boyfriend about my dieting & stuff a few days ago. It was very hard to discuss it with him because I'm very embarrassed about it. But I'm sure glad I did. He's being very supportive & helpful.

Sorry I've been MIA. Things have kinda been crappy in my life. No big surprise there. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I made the spur-of-the-moment decision to take in a stray. He's been with me for about four days and I guess its nice to have another living being in the house. I miss Leonidas like crazy but I know it'll stop hurting so much eventually. TOM started Thursday so I just skipped that WI. My internet/cable was cut off so I'm going to be a computer nomad for a while. My supervisor has been riding my azz and I've had enough! I'm going to the union tomorrow morning. If it wasn't for my 401k and health insurance, I would have quit this horrific job a long time ago. I'm trying to be logical, the economy is in the toilet and it's hard to find work. This job is bad for my mental and emotional health, I know. Then the food stamp people are making things difficult, I will not have my benefits this month so I had to use the money for my cable to buy food. *sigh*
I miss you all and hope I can be back fulltime soon!
Jasonslea~ I’m sorry things have been rough, I hope everything starts improving soon.
lalique~ Good to hear your bf is being supportive. Mine has his moments where he is super supportive and then days where he’s a criticizing bum… Make sure yours knows that you only want his support, no criticism allowed.
I had a horrible weekend food and activity wise. My plan is to force myself to stay at meeting tonight so I can get the extra motivation boost I need… I wouldn’t be surprised if I see a little bit of a gain tonight, but I plan on working my butt off after school to hopefully help a little bit…
Kim-sooo glad you had good news! At least you dont' need to worry!
JasonLea- I am sorry to hear about your job! You sound stressed to the max!
Lalique- I can't believe you went that long without sleep!
Angel- so glad that you had such a great week! You are inspiring me for this week!
Ladies- the past 4 days were terrible as far as food is concerned. I am not WIing this week. I don't want a high number to discourage me. I feel so jiggly and yucky. I went home for my best friend's shower and it was worse than I expected. I ate like there was no tommorrow. Lots of cake, cookies, and chocolate! But I am back OP and determined to not fall into my bad habits again.
What's done is done. I am putting my scale away for awhile. I want to be part of the next challenge but I dont know if I want to WI every week. I was thinking I could maybe just WI at the end? Kim or lalique- what that be allowed?
Jeasonslea - Sorry you're having such a rough time at work.. I hope it gets better soon!!
Kim - I went through a couple weeks being really bad, so I know how ya feel! Just stay positive!!
Jessie - Yeah, I'll put it on my list that you will weigh in at the end, don't worry about it. Stay motivated though! & let me know if you're doing the activity at all, so I can make sure to add in any points you earn!

Girls I am really struggling here. I ate terribly again today! I do have better hopes for tomorrow though. I will just WI at the end.
Lalique- I don't want to be too much trouble with the challenge. I don't mind sitting out. Maybe I will WI every week. I just need a few weeks to get back on track and then I should be good to go.
Ugh why is losing weight so damn hard!!?!?!?!
JessieCat- don't worry about it too much. A few days off won't kill your weight loss plans. You are SOOOOO close! I have had a few mad days this week too. I am sick so I haven't been working out. And I have been home all day so I have been snacking on bad foods. Lets pledge to get back on plan for the rest of the week.
Jessie - Don't worry about it! You need to do what you need to for yourself!! You're still in this challenge as far as I'm concerned. I don't mind giving people an "allowed skip" - As long as I know beforehand.
I've put in 16 hours at work between last night & tonight, and I have another 6 to go! So my eating has gone down the hole from just being so tired. Today I ate 1 1/2 cheese sticks & 3 bites of rice/chicken stir-fry. Until I came to work, I've had a slice of left-over pizza & half a cookie, just for some energy to stay awake.
