To answer Mary's question from 3 pages ago - Boston. I'm home now. Ridiculously tired. I've read some but no where near to all.
I've eaten terrible, got pretty angry at myself, and today I'm more on terms with it. I'm going to get up tomorrow, have a day of exercise, and get over myself. No weighing until Monday (I say this now).
Kelly- I'm going to see the legwarmers at Rams Head tomorrow
Mary- The boy and I were studying but decided to go see that movie instead...it was soooooo good and cute... I loved it
Jenny- My old avatar was taken of me many many many pounds ago...this one suits me more... and I'm almost to onderland... I'm having a party when I get there
so the past two days I have done nothing but walk around the mall and downtown Annapolis... My legs are really mad at me and all the walking was ontop of working out in the morning ... and I've had late nights and have been getting home late... I was also jelous of Stella's sushi on thursday so I went to a random place for dinner...it was really gross and I havent felt all that great since... The bf asked if I could never eat raw fish again bc he was a bio major and learned gross stuff about it... oh well...
I cannot wait to show you guys pictures because my outfit for tomorrow is amazing and totally 80's...however I need some suggestions on 80's hair...bc my hair is short and I dont own a crimper and cant manage a side pony
Haley - Wasn't it good? I kept saying yesterday that I just want to go see it again! And like Chele said, it's all about the teasing and the hairspray!
So I was a little sad at myself because I didn't get a chance to take my walk or do my planks yesterday, but I did stay at the boy's house last night and tumbles occurred, so at least I got that workout. I'm bugging him to go for a walk with me today before we go shopping.
Morning ladies. I just woke up with a headache the side of Ft. Knox. I hate being a human barometer sometimes. I feel like a screwdriver is stabbing me in the head.
I weighed again and I'm still at 190.5 so I don't think it was a fluke. Maybe the travelling/flying did more to my body than I was aware of and drinking water this week has helped flush me out.
As soon as I can get this headache gone I'm going to the gym.
Mary - Boston was okay - I just worked really. I walked to Boston Common to buy a book, but that was like 3 blocks from my hotel, so it reaaaly doesn't count.
Haley - Just tease your hair - the bigger the better. Think NJ in the 1980s. Or now.
Feral - Feel better! Sometimes a little bit of light cardio helps my head. But its really hit or miss.
Okay, so I got up and worked out and I feel almost back to normal. I'm going hiking all day with CB - gotta train for that hike - then out for Chinese tonight. I figure if I walk 12 miles I can eat whatever I want, and I'll keep it in moderation. I haven't had Chinese food in soooo long. I have to shower, but I'm eating this non-fat yogurt parfait from Starbucks (they didn't have the breakfast sandwiches) and its not bad. 310 calories for a decent portion of dark cherry yogurt, dark cherries and some granola. I usually hate yogurt, but this doesn't have any of the "sour milk taste" so it gets a thumbs up.
Nope - I have plans with someone else for later. Kind of feels a bit whorey, but there's nothing wrong with having a back up plan...I don't know, I struggle with the whole thing.
Hey Ladies!!
Happy Saturday! Fack I love the weekend!
Day 10 of not weighing myself - ughk I wanna be 189!! But I have no idea how close or how far away I am!
Stella - you go girl!
Feral - hope you feel better!
Mary - Sounds like last night was fun
Haley - hope you have fun tonight!
I went to my workout class at 9am this morning, and there is another one at 11, I never do both...today I did both!!! I feel like 1,000,000 and ten bucks! Although now I am indescribably starving even after I ate!
smisen: congratulations on the house!! that's so exciting!!
Jenny: it may just be a trial and error type of thing, you're probably just worrying a lot. But if you gained, then maybe it's better that you track your weight every day, but learn not to be disappointed if the scale doesn't change much every day, or goes up for one day.
feral: feel better! my mom is just like you...she always gets a headache when its supposed to rain or something.
stella: 12 miles is definitely fair game to eat whatever you want for dinner...enjoy that chinese...and the hike!
I'm so tired!!! Relay for Life was great though! I ate a bit much though. When it comes to be 3 in the morning, you've been walking non stop, and you're dead tired, sometimes you need a grilled cheese. Our group also won free breakfast. So...my eating was not good at all last night. But I also walked a lot. I counted 5 miles in the beginning, but I stopped counting at around 3 in the morning, so I'm sure it's way above 5 miles.
I'm so bloated today from a mix of my TOM starting tomorrow and all of the junk I ate last night. Im just going to take an easy, drink boat loads of water, and make this healthy cucumber salad and eat that if I get hungry. I'm not really hungry today. Does anyone else know any other bloating remedies that don't come in a pill form or exercise (4 hours sleep in 24 hours and asthma is acting up...)
My foot was acting up yesterday after I went to the gym. I was hurting after 30 minutes on the elliptical and it was just achy and crappy all night long. So, this morning, I went back to the gym and stuck to the exercise bike and read a book. My foot is actually feeling pretty good today. And the book I'm reading, "The Pact" by Jodi Piccoult, is so freaking good already!!! Haha I am not even 1/3 of the way through yet, but it's so interesting. Then, for good measure, I jogged for 15 minutes on the treadmill and that's when a little bit of pain popped back in near the end. So I only did 15 minutes.
Last night, I got to play DD for my mom and her friend. It was kind of hilarious! But today has been good so far....slept in, went to the gym, and have to run to the store later on. My scale had a "Lo" reading when I weighed myself this morning, so I figured I would go pick up some new batteries. Plus, I will take any excuse really to wander around Target for an hour LOL
Today I got into some 16 jeans and dresses at Torrid!!! I'm used to wearing 20 jeans and 18/20 dresses so YAY!
Also my mom and I went to cheesecake factory today and I managed to stay under my calorie goal, w00t. We even shared some cheesecake. They can box up half and bring half to the table so we shared half a piece of cheesecake!
I'm feeling like maybe I'm ready to go back to the gym. I've been feeling very blah and lazy and ugh about going so I haven't really been in over a week (shame on me...). But I think I'm feeling motivated again. I can do this. Maybe.
Edit: I got these twodresses. Also, by some miracle, I haven't lost anything in my chest area. I got measured and I am the exact same bra size, wtf? lol.
So I had a date last night that was...well, not bad but the guy was so shy and quiet. He reminded me of my ex roommate who was the same way due to a medical disorder. He emailed me today asking to see me again, so now I have to write that unpleasant "I had a good time but no" email. I hate dating.
I got sesame chicken (love it) and ate it all - whoops- but I'm going spinning this morning and then food shopping, so I can undo whatever damage I did. I wanted to go hiking again, but it looks rather rainy, so I may settle for just walking around the mall a lot - as long as I'm on my feet it counts!
Also, I'm having issues with bras. I got fitted last week and I'm a 38D - so either my size didn't change or I was wearing the wrong size - but my back is still bothering me! TOM is coming, and I'm all swollen, so I'm wondering if that is the issue...
How was Boston?
