Crap!! I had a post going but then my IE froze up!!
Courtnie - Do you know how to make your own sushi? I so want to try it. I saw this awesome how-to vid on about.com and it looks easy enough (it probably isn't). I've been searching for sushi recipes all morning. Now I just need to get a bamboo rolling mat. How is it going with the pills?
Aimee - that's kind of sad that your job schedules your for a day of opening right after a night of closing. You'd think they'd be a bit more considerate. But then again, that means you'd always be closing or opening. I guess it's to shake things up a bit, huh? Great job on working out. Make sure you do take it easy though and take care of yourself or that sore throat will be sticking around longer than it should. Feel better!
shari - don't worry. Those two pounds will be gone by next WI. And if you've been extra good, you're loss is going to be awesome next week. have you been good???
the gym girl e-mailed me back. too bad it wasn't with a better offer. So I still have to think about that.
Yesterday was awful. I was all over the place with my eating. And I didn't work out. Scale was up 2 pounds this morning. I know it's not permanent but I could really feel those 2 pounds.
But today I've been good so far. Just need to continue on through the night and get a workout in. ANd not let my bf be a bad influence and talk me into late night snacks. I think that is what is making me uneasy in the morning.
I discovered something today. It's not the healthiest thing in the world, but I found that drinking a midmorning coffee curbs my hunger a bit. I wasn't as hungry by lunch time like I usually am. I was even thinking about picking up some fast food and not eating the lunch I brought, but after drinking the coffee, I didn't have a second thought about food. Even when I was in the grocery section in Wal-Mart. I did buy some Tiramisu flavored creamer and I'm going to start drinking a coffee for my AM snack. Like I said, I know it's not healthy but it can't hurt either. Or can it??
Ro - I do know how to make sushi but it just isnt not a good. I hear getting the rice just right is hard... i have yet to do it right, but it comes out okay. It is good, but just not the same. It is not that hard to roll them, i watched videos online to do it right, haha. I had sushi for lunch yesterday and today! mmm The pills are going good, less cravings for sure. Like when I am hungry, I am just hungry but dont really feel or care to eat... if that makes sense. Like food sounds good to me, but not like OMG MUST EAT IT NOW!
Oh and the Coffee thing - coffee is known to be an appetite suppressant - also it is not that bad. If you start drinking 15 cups a day you might be in for some trouble, but 2-3 I don't think is that bad.
Don't worry about those two pounds, my scale was up this morning too! bleh, I blame the white rice in the sushi, haha. I totally ate way too much sushi today, but all well. I will try and eat less at dinner.
I don't really know what to think about work right now... so much going on. Again, stupid internet... I hate posting that kinda thing for everyone to read and find :/
Courtnie - its just a little sore throat, I can't let it stop me from working out! I am sleeping LOTS though, drinking tons of water and taking it easy. 20 minutes can't kill me! Josh was talking to the western rep of Webber Vitamins, and he was telling her that I was taking them. He was saying that she's lost 29 pounds!! She told him to get me to up the pills to 2 instead of 1, so I guess I'll start that tomorrow. Aren't you amazed that those pills can keep the cravings away? Thats my fav part! I also find that when I'm hungry that I can make sensible decisions, and have the patience to make something healthy to eat.
Rosario - What was the gym deal they offered you? I have also made sushi! My mom and I did manage to perfect the rice, and it turned out great! I don't have to patience to do it again though.. lol. Definitely a group event! I often have a latte for a snack, I always get low fat though! It always feels like a treat, and I always need a little pick me up in the afternoon, heh. You definitely can't gain 2 pounds overnight! If you ate late, its probably just from that!
Day 4 of 30 Day Shred complete! I ate pretty good, my dinner feels like it wasn't very healthy. I had a bread made from kamut, which is a different kind of wheat, seems to work better in my body! And on that I had a chicken salad that Josh made for me, I also had a huge salad. Felt kind of like cheating because of the bread. But it's never bothered me before. Anyways, I'm just rambling.
I miss Josh. Its so quiet, and I don't have anyone to talk to, or to hug me. I don't know how people deal with being away from their loved ones for more that a week! I have been away from Josh longer, but I was always with someone. I can't wait for him to come home, he wants me to come up there tomorrow night after work. I doubt I will, just because the drive would be unpleasant. Anyways, I'm off to watch a little tv and get some sleep!
Day 6: 30 Day Shred DONE!! I am tired! But its a good tired. Although Josh called me in the middle of the night and he was REALLY sick.. and he wanted me to come get him today after work!! 3 hour drive there, and 3 hours back! Anyways, he's feeling better thanks to flu drugs, phew! I don't know if I could have done it without like 6 energy drinks! lol.
Aimee - I for sure find even if I am starving it is not like shove something unhealthy in my mouth. Yesterday I really wanted hummus and I probably ate a bit too much... but really, hummus? Least it wasn't french fries! I just started taking two right away... no change in the scale yet... in fact one morning I saw 180 but it is has been like 181.8 every since Maybe just because I am drinking a lot more water. I am over 10 pound heavier then I was this time last year, and almost 20 pounds from the year before. It is so depressing because I have been working at it and I am still up.... alot. I really want to be 160 for Karden's xmas party, I looked so good last year - people that hadn't seen me in years were like WOW you look fantastic... I don't want to go there being fat again. Where is Josh?
Courtnie - it sure does!! I might even buy some Lise Watier this month, I love me some double stamps! Plus I wanna buy my mom something from their line, and there is a REALLY nice gold eyeshadow! Hmm, I am perplexed about how come you haven't lost with the pills! The pills gave me confidence to give up the sugar and wheat, which were my vices.. so thats why everything worked so well for me.
courtnie - Ok, what's LD and Lisa Waiter? hang in there. this hard work will pay off sooner or later (it always does)! I saw a vid on how to make sushi rice. It looks easy too. I can't wait to try it.
aimee- if my bf had called me to come pick him up three hours away....I would of been like "oh, **** no!!" hehe I love you but it's not happening. but then again, I might actually do it. WTG on all your hard work!! send some of that energy to me please. the offer was 40 bucks a month for a year. and she was gonna waive the 150 dollar set up fee. idk...any gym who asks for that much for a set up fee doesn't sound appealing to me at all.
so i've been bad the past couple of days. seriously bad. and I plan on being bad through tonite. weigh in was bad. but I was expecting it.
but don't worry, I plan on picking back up tomorrow. I wanteed to start the C25k program. I uploaded a bad a$$ house mix into my Ipod. totally pump you up music. i can see myself working out to it. just listening to it in the car got me going.
aaaand....my mom might buy me and my bf a plane ticket to go visit LA. eek!! I hope she can. She was thinking for thanksgiving, but I was looking at Halloween. Tix prices are way cheaper. SO hopefully everything works out and I can go home for a much needed visit.
so motivation and some new music!! yay! I'm actually looking forward to starting tomorrow!
Rosario - you got it! Lise Watier is a Canadian makeup brand, sort of similar to MAC, but more like Elizabeth Arden for trendy people! LD = London Drugs, its a drug store here in Canada. Not much in the USA that compares to it. We are a drug store with a computer dept, audio visual dept (tv's & such), camera's, cell phones, photo developing, cosmetics with higher end stuff and lower end stuff like covergirl, maybelline, etc. Also we sell furniture.. pretty much everything!! Also they pay good! lol I hope the trip to LA happens! Thats very exciting!! I enjoyed the C25K, but its so rainy and gross here that exercising outside just won't be happening for me! The Jillian workout is still serving me well! Josh was SO sick, and I was worried about him.. he hasn't been that sick in years! The worst thing about being sick and throwing up non stop is having to do that away from home, with someone else there! BTW - thats a horrible price for the gym membership!
Alright! I am discouraged, I don't get how I could be on plan AND exercising all week and I'm still the same?? I don't get it!! Anyways, I'll keep plugging away, I am hoping that its because of TOM ending. I better go exercising now though! Josh is almost home.. yay!
Day 7 complete!! Wow, i've exercised every single day for 7 days! Wowsers! I am happy with that! I also vacuumed! It's time to move, I hate cleaning this crap hole of a place.. lol. Josh and I upped our limit for rent to 1100 a month, maybe we can find a decent place for that! Here's hoping!! And no more basement suites, even if they are affordable.. I can't handle all the spiders... eeek!!
Just me again.. Josh came home and went straight to bed!! So I went shopping, but it sucked because I needed his advice. I've been so lonely while he was gone and he comes home.. and I'm still alone!! Also, I hate living in the city I do... I haven't made any friends, and I hate it here. End of my venting..
Maybe just because I am drinking a lot more water. I am over 10 pound heavier then I was this time last year, and almost 20 pounds from the year before. It is so depressing because I have been working at it and I am still up.... alot. I really want to be 160 for Karden's xmas party, I looked so good last year - people that hadn't seen me in years were like WOW you look fantastic... I don't want to go there being fat again. Where is Josh?
