4star- it will get better!! your health and feelings of well being are the most important and therefore i am very glad you feel better!! sleep is very important!!

northernrose- wine is totally worth it. i also find that any "gain" from over "wine-ing" comes off pretty fast! (booze cals aren't real cals?? they only make your clothes fit tighter??? ha)

toobig- you know what they say, tom water weight brings a big WHOOOOSH! hold on!!


Thank you for all of your well wishes for the interview! it went well, I HOPE. i am waiting for a response about a 2nd interview- i WANT THIS JOB. it is the exact step i need to take in my career. and it will move fast as i have let them know that i do have another contract offer on the table (as i do).

also though, more stress. the position i just finished, is literally, terrible. i hated it. it's not in my field, and it's very low paying (compared to what i am used to making). on the other hand, this job that i WANT desperately, is literally, a porshe compared to a 23 year old camry lol - the salary is LITERALLY twice, as well as it is permanent with a profitable organization, and i will be working in my actual degree field. my fingers, are crossed forever.

i am trying to "hold off" on signing this offer- obviously. i have about a week to play with, but i am on the rocks and trying to avoid the fridge.

i've been sick since tuesday, had 2 binges (although they are much less frequent, and far less calorie dense now which is positive i guess). i did make it to the studio today finally (After yet another 4 day hietus- and i've stopped running, again) AND i saw 179.8 on the scale this morning post yoga, after breakfast. i've eaten pretty low today (i'm not formally counting, but i'd ball park between 1400-1500, good mix of fats/proteins/veg) so tomorrow is weigh in, and i am hoping to see that's 179.8 again, although realistically it will probably be 180. - something. only time will tell i guess lol

Cabin. UGH. That's all I'm saying. 179 this am. Yes ladies, from 163 to 179... water weight.. I know but still. And I had yet another bad day today so might be in the 180ies tomorrow. I'm so ready for cabin season to be over. I know I can get it off and in two weeks I'll be back to where I was but I said no more binges and this weekend was one big binge.

169 this morning. Why can't I kick myself in gear and lose this last 10#s? And why did we order pizza? And wtf is up with me making eight dozen oatmeal raisin cookies? Who does that? I am losing my mind.

179.6!!!
NOT going back in the 180s

hellerwork review- AMAZING, but pain train.

essentially, it's the progressed version of ART and it's not spot work, it deals with misalignments of the whole body.

also, more pressure then ART.

pro: it's like i have a new body, last night was the first time i could do backbends in a long, long time.

con: i am bruised. literally, bruised, not visibly, but it hurts like **** (although way less then my spine hurt). while not everything is "healed" it is very visible progress.

Ugh. A few snacky days and I was at 201 this morning. I'M SO NOT GOING BACK THERE!!! I know it's bloat but I refuse to be outside of Onederland so I am gonna nip this in the bud right now. I am pre-planning my foods for today to see if that helps me not snack so much and I ate a good breakfast this morning. I will also get some exercise. This is going to be a solid on-plan day!

175.6 this morning... not a happy number but much better than the 179 I was at yesterday, I'll NEVER in my life see the 180ies again, I haven't yet wrapped my head around saying that about the 170s so I'm not that upset over it but just annoyed that I have the hardest time telling myself it's not worth it while I'm eating it. because it so isn't. I wouldn't even want to admit to all of the things I consumed this weekend, I'm a little amazing I only gained 12lbs to be honest with you all. I think 165 is a good number for my body to be at, it likes it there and I like it there.

I have the snacky bug too! So much so I'm having to trade whole meals because of it!

But other than that doing pretty good. Iv been exercising 3 days straight, and doing my ab exercises so fingers crossed the scale will be kind end August. 64.1 kgs this morning.

Bridgettedavis - 165 seems like a good weight for you. You look so beautiful in your photos! Just right!

I hear Carry on Losing & 4 Star on the snacks. I find it especially tough in the evening, and in the pub strangely (crisps & nuts!)

I seem to be wooshing a little. 219 today, which was amazing to see. Saving the real celebration for official weigh-in on Sunday & hoping it sticks.

167 this morning. I have no idea from one day to the next what the darn scale is going to say. I am so close to 100 #s lost and I can not seem to get there.

I hope the snack monster leaves everyone in peace and we all have an on plan day.

I did ok but not quite where I wanted to be. Ate around 1800 cals and ended up with a 900+some odd calorie deficit for the day(was shooting for 1000). I burned 2700 cleaning my bootie off....but this morning, I am sitting waiting for my pain reliever to kick in b/c I kind of over-did it.

Today, I am focusing on 1600-1750 cals and I think I am gonna trade cleaning my carpets for an errand day. Today will definitely be an arthritis workout video day so I can get loosened up.

Thanks for checking in on me.
