It's almost the end of the day and I did really good. Only had 935 cal. so far, that means there's room for a little fruit as a snack tonight. I was in the bathroom every two hours today, lol Must be losing water from that binge yesterday. That's a good thing!

Hugs Misspriss~Glad u got your motivation & Are back on track!! Cause u rock at losing weight & I am so proud of how far u have come!!! ~Oh by the way...I use to buy baskets already done up too & hated trying to get all the stuff out after they would open them~ya know how they tape it/glue/Or whatever they do to it to make it nearly impossible for the parent to get it out of there...LOL I started Going to The family Dollar stores And getting those 1.00 organizer things with handles ~there pure plastic in like pink/green/blue/Ect. In colors and Then we can use them to stack small toys Or Odds & ends in after words~which works out great. Then we buy them some candy...Maybe some chips...& A few toys that are cheapy but fun & there they go. ~I already got my daughter a pair of converse Shoes hid back for hers that I got my hands on a week or so ago at that store I tell y'all about all the time~They was 4.99~And there 40.00 In the other stores So She will be thrilled cause she loves them shoes.~But As far as making my own ~I end up actually spending less than I would with the already made up baskets. Plus I can choose lower calorie items.
Mrs.Lovett~Yeah u have had a rough time with gettting sick...Maybe a vitamin would help. Do u take vitamins? I try to when I can remember them~LOL~Anyways that May help or a trip to the doctor. But proboly just this long dreary winter kept u ill & hopefully the nice spring weather will keep u well. Well...Gonna go spy on my nieces on myspace! They are some honery girls~Or there tormenting me to see what I may say to them...LOL! TTYL! |
Today has been great, starting out with my exciting weigh in this morning!
I got my hair done today, that took 2 hours at the salon but it was nice and relaxing. A few weeks ago I got some size 16 jeans on Ebay and they finally fit today. They were tighter in the waist than the Old Navy 16's I've been wearing. I wore them all day and after just a bit they were saggy in the bootie and legs, but the waist was snugger compared. Not really snug anymore, but it's a weird fit. Oh well, for $5 plus shipping I can deal with them for a few weeks until I fit into 14's! BUT the really big deal about these pants was that I felt something in the tiny little front pocket and dug around in there and it was a pair of diamond stud earrings!! At least I'm about 80% sure they're real! I am going to ask a man who is a jeweler who goes to my church to check them out. If they're real I'll send them back to the previous jeans' owner. If they're CZ I don't know if I'll worry with it. That was exciting though on top of the fact that the jeans finally fit me! OH, I went shopping yesterday for a new white shirt for my daughter to wear for her school choir program and I checked out the regular sizes ladies department and they had a huge clearance rack and I bought me two cute summer tops for $6 each, both famous name brands. I got them in size Large. I just couldn't fathom myself ever being able to wear the Mediums, they looked soooo tiny! But when I tried them on when I got home, they really very nearly fit!! Just a bit tight in the bust and shoulders! I was really amazed! Maybe I should go back and get another in size Medium? Ok, calorie wise I'm ending the day at 1338. I feel like I've been eating all day! No intentional exercise today, I will definitely do something tomorrow. I try never to take two days off in a row. |
Lori: Thank you! :) :hug: that really made my day!!! And you lady are gorgeous!! and don't even get me started on all your amazing clothes and accessories!!! :) As far as flowers go, yeah I'm not really into them now, but my mom is sure trying to make me!! haha, I do appreciate them though and her gardens are beautiful! That's awesome that your husband helps you too, teamwork!! Wow you have 4 acres?! I am so jealous, I feel like my neighbors are like two feet away from me!! You have so much room to grow amazing gardens!! I'm sure my mom would be so jealous! haha oh and btw: I am soooo jealous of your thrift store find! for like 2 dollars? get outta here!!!! :) Oh and lori- keep going!! You have to and were meant to be in those 150's!!!! PS: I'm 23 and I still love my easter basket!! :)
susieyarb: you sound like me, you get creative when there are no "easy" forms of exercise you can do! good job!! Nice job on those 3.5 pounds!!!!! That's awesome!!! I love getting my hair done, it's always expensive but something I enjoy so i don't mind forking out the money. $6 dresses? You can't beat that!! I never seem to get good deals! I do like old navy though, there stuff is getting cuter and cuter!! fruitylady: just stick with it and never give up!! You are soo close to your goal I am jealous!!! I have read too that you shouldn't go under 1200 calories, but if you clear it with your doctor then I'm sure it will work for you. Just be safe lady!! :hug: kathywathy: welcome!!! I have like 3 pounds to lose so we are pretty much on the same pace! we can do it!!! misspriss: we have those days where we fall off, sometimes more than just one day, but we just get right back up and keep on truckin!! You have come so far there is no way that motivation was going to leave you, I doubt it ever will, it just gets lost sometimes and you have to help it find it's way back! jdonato: haha I have that same feeling, well I didn't fail so that's good! hahaha I'm just such on a senior slide, but I don't want to be, I just feel burnt out from continuous school for what seems like FOREVER! I'm going to Mexico for spring break, first time actually doing something "fun" for spring break. But at this point, the idea of no school is fun. hahah shylah: i am so jealous that you have 18's that are getting big!!! grrr.. I am still way off that point, nice work chica! Katy05: me and you are on the same track right now as far as pretty much having only like 3 pounds to lose, i think we can do it if not come pretty close!!! We just have to REALLY kick butt until then! Not that we don't already! :) haha Have fun at that outdoor festival, jealous!!! jigglefree: hope you find some cute shoes and have a blast Sat night! :) MrsLovett: sorry to hear that you were sick! :( I am such a hypochondriac and a germaphobe,so I freak out everytime i am sick. Haha. good to hear that you and your family are doing well! zoochick: i'm so sorry to hear about what happened at your work today :( that sounds terrible, and you have to be an awful strong person to deal with that, I would be sobbing!! emileigh: oh that scale can be a little Byatch sometimes!!!! Well today was a long day for me, began extremely well and ended alright. I had a 12 hour work day today and ended up getting ripped off from a few teenage girls in the last hour...that sucked!! I hate people who steal, there is no need and they don't realize that there are actual people who own these businesses that are getting hurt because of their childishness and selfishness..well enough of a rant, good night every one!! |
Ashley/Farn: Yay on only having 2 pounds to go! You can definitely make it. I hope your ankle just keeps improving so it won't hinder you too much in your fun in Mexico! Your pic is really pretty!
Katy: I love San Antonio! It's a long drive for us from here (about 7 1/2 hours). It sounds like you have a fun and active weekend planned. 193 is awesome! Wow, I'd love to be there! Priscilla/Fruitlady: It seems like balancing things when you get to such a tiny weight is hard. I know you can get there, just keep tweaking your plan until you get the formula down! Mrs. Lovett: Ugh on the tummy bug. My daughter has it right now, up all last night and she was just sick again an hour ago - Ick. I'll bet your near or at your goal! Get on those scales and check! Kasey: TOM is such a discouraging part of losing weight. But just try to look forward to the whoosh that often comes after! Oh so sad about your day at work - sorry it was so hard. I could never do that! Emileish: Just keep at it, the scale will HAVE to move down eventually! MissPriss: Thanks for the peptalk! We all need it at one time or another! KathyWathy: Welcome to the challenge. This has been SOOO motivational for me. I'm already looking forward to the next challenge! Krista: How are you doing? Do you have progress pics? You started out very near where I did and are not too much taller than I and you're very near my goal weight! I'd love to see the changes in you! Shyla: Yay for those 18's already getting too big! My 16's are already starting to get loose and it's an awesome feeling, isn't it??! It's so motivational. Ok, I hope everyone else is doing well. Keep it up - only less than 5 days to go! P.S. I made it to my first 10% lost today!! Woo Hoo! Only two more mini-goals till ONE-DERLAND!!! |
Good Morning, you guys are so sweet! Thank you for your kind words...i just love coming here,its such a treat!
Lori- ive thought about getting there things at the dollar tree every year but always end up buying there easter basket...this year im going to have fun building there easter baskets. Thanks for the Great Idea! I like the idea with the shoes too, my DD wants some twinkle toe sketcher shoes and i may try to find some online somewhere for her basket. My DS will be happy with anything spider man..he's easy to shop for,LOL. And i agree, those pre-made baskets are such a pain to open. Farn-Love your avatar pic pretty lady! thank you,you so sweet. So sorry to hear about the theft:( Susie-Congrats on the 10% goal met...AWESOME! Hello to everyone :) ive got a 60minute upper body weight workout planned for later this morning...im following a new routine with my workouts that i started last week and im loving it. I don't have to figure out what workout im doing i just look at my plans instead:D a lot easier! have a good day:) |
susie--I don't have "good" progress pics...only because I'm having trouble finding pics w/full body shots when I was at my highest...they're mostly all face shots! lol but if you go to my blog, I've put together what I have...and I think my "low" pic was around 200?? I'll try to get an updated pic there soon and I'll let ya know...I was gonna wait til I hit 170 before posting, but maybe I'll do it now and then again at 170!??!? we'll see :)
unfortunately, I've come down w/a cold! Kinda sore throat...congested one minute, runny nose the next...head feels like it's gonna explode!!! so I've been slacking on exercise :( but today I'm back below my SPD goal weight so it's all lookin good! Hope everyone has a good weekend!!! |
Oh man, my weight guess was off a little :( I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 111.6 lbs. Still 1.6 lbs. to go until I reach this challenge's goal. Hardly any exercise today... for some reason I started to do it, but I felt strange and like I was going to fall asleep, so I went back to bed for a while. The good news is that I won two free workout dvd's online! Yay! One is a strength training dvd and the other one is cardio. I'm hoping they'll arrive on Monday.
Well, I need to go drink some water! See you all later! MrsLovett |
Krista, you can see quite a difference between the 215 pounds and the 202 pounds pictures especially in your face. But you looked great even at 230! I can't wait to see the updated pic at 179. If you changed so much in the 13 pounds between 215 & 202 pounds, I'll bet there will be a big change between 179 and 170 - so go ahead and do both updates!
I don't know why I always forget to click on people's blogs in their sidebars. I need to remember to do that! Thanks for sharing! Oh, p.s. - sorry you've come down with a cold - no fun! |
Hi Chicks, Thanks for all the encouragement! It really helps. I did good again today, had 1000 cal. so far, so I can have my snack tonight. 1050 seems to be plenty for me, I'm never hungry. I guess cause I only eat whole foods, fruit is my favorite,veggies and greek yogurt and I make sure i get plenty of fiber and protein.

Farn~I was just being truthful!!!! & thanks for making me feel fabulous!

Pretty much a routine day food and exercise wise. I ended up at 1449 cals. I did a Denise Austin Interval Training workout focusing on abs. Then I walked 2 times around our subdivision for 1.5 miles.
Working that .4 pounds away for the St. P day challenge!! Hope everyone had a great Saturday! |
