If this caffeine relatedl? I am getting plenty of sleep... Not too stressed (not anymore than usual anyway)
My plan for today is to take a chill day and do some yoga. For some reason, although I know my body needs it), I always feel guilty when I'm not doing a high impact exercise. I feel like I may be slowing myself down.
I've had this before. It was temporary and I think stress related.

Stephanie- I am most deffinately in limbo, and i've been in limbo CONGRATS!!! 80 is a big deal! Feeling super awesome yet?
julia- thank you! don't even need shaping underwear. to be honest with you, if i've eaten properly, the meal immediately before, you can't see anything, no rolls, no muffin top, no bulge. it's more of a naked thing ha ha. and why not have confidence? gets you places! also? 3 lb loss? that's awesome!! way to go. my personal most hated number, ever is 180.
------------------
back in the game, back to the studio, must start drinking more water. something is most deffinately cooking for me in my limbo situation- but i am tired, exhausted, and it keeps interfering with studio time. my phone, is literally going off every 2 minutes, i have interviews, one or two a day - and no acceptable offers (that aren't obscurely low paying- i am not in a financial rut, so i am willing to hold out and wait). I JUST WANT STUDIO TIME.
Good for you for holding out. The right offer will come your way when it is right.

Welcome! I got into this weight loss situation because my clothes weren't fitting too. Every time I want to cheat, I keep reminding myself of what I really want. You will find a lot of support here.
Even though I've been so good, the scale has been stuck (and inching upwards a bit on days) this past week. This morning I registered a 0.1 pound loss and did a silent happy dance. I'm crossing my fingers for a whoosh.
MovingForward- thank you. I hope that it does untangle itself soon- I am busier now, then when I was working 40-50 hours a week. I figure since I have the opportunity to advance in my career, before I have more major fiscal commitments, I may as well go as high as I can, and then continue further.
Today was not so good on the food. I need to learn some self-discipline. This job search communications/ negotiations thing is exceptionally frustrating, and my "to-do" list is about 6 miles long. There are not enough hours in the day. Today is Thursday, and I already have solid plans up until next Wednesday, with a need to fit 2-3 other things in M-W (and that is granted that nothing else urgent comes up).
I must learn self discipline and better time management skills. Rather, maybe start ignoring more people? I am an extremely efficient person, I know that something needs to be done, I ponder it over (over my nasty habit of smoking generally) then come in, and get it done. As most of you know, the reason that I am not in a financial rut, is because I have moved home until this whole job thing gets sorted, BUT every time I go outside to "think" my mother follows me out and talks about things that are hindering to well..my thought process. While I know that this is not a blame game, but this house is the sole issue for my weight problems/disordered eating problems, and I NEED this situation to figure itself out- because I am a very determined, strong person, and when I start cracking under pressure, there is no hope for humanity. lol
I am going to invite myself into this thread in hopes of it motivating me to get out of the 180s. Thanksgiving really set me back because I binged like crazy. But I think I needed it so I'm not going to stress over it too much. A little over where I was previously, but 4 pounds away from dropping the category "obese"! I need this to happen ASAP!
queenie- welcome welcome! lets get out of the 180s today!
okay. 2 interviews today. 9 am, and noon. this spans breakfast, and lunch for me since i won't be home until after 2 pm. I am packed, and ready to rock. Bloaty, so my "not-so - power" suit on.
Studio tonight.
FINALLY GET A WEEKEND OFF!! WOOHOOOOOO I'm going to do some sitting, maybe some running, lots of studio time. and noooooo drinks. fantastic!
I was at 152.8 and then 153. Today I am 154.4. I definitely over ate on Wednesday and also didn't work out yday.. I have a dinner tonight and tomorrow and have been generally lethargic and hungry.. This week I'm a bit off bc of a minor accident. Drama!
I'm going to enjoy my dinners but not get apps or desserts or bread, and will try to do even better next week.

I had to cheat and weigh myself today(usually weigh in on Tues.) and I am down to 185.8!!! 3 pounds!! It feels like it's taking forever but finally progress!
Thanks moving forward! I’m working on a new playlist for my Ipod now and about to join planet fitness today. Exercise is HUGE for me when I try to lose weight. I never want to overeat after a good workout.

Good luck on your job interview stimkovs!
Let me know how you like planet fitness! There's one opening right down the street from my current gym (not open yet though). I like my gym, but always open to better things.
******************************************
I did make a whole thread about this, but I'll say it again: YAY I'M A NORMAL WEIGHT FINALLY! This new plan I'm doing is great so far. Hard core, but great! HOLY CRAP I may be in the 140s soon. That seems totally unreal to me!
^ I’ve joined before what I like is it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for good equipment and it’s close. Plus they have tvs above the treadmills so if I get bored of music I can watch something to make the time pass haha
But I mostly joined because its 24/7. works around my schedule with school and work so I can go at night before bed

thanks! if you dont need even shaping then id say you're good to go!
im laughing because 180 was my hated number last round of weight loss. i was stuck there for SIX weeks. maybe itll replace 190.7 again this time....

is a rock hard midsection too much to ask for after loosing 100 lbs and re-gaining 20? no? no? ya didn't think so. HAHA obviously sarcasm.
literally, didn't even SEE 180 on the way down.
i may or may not have starved the last 12 or so lbs out of myself though- to be honest i can't really remember because life was hectic.
good hectic the 'holy crap i forgot to eat' kind of hectic lol
don't worry you'll be back at the ever dreaded/much desired 180!
LockItUp: Reaching the 140's again will be a HUGE deal for me as well.. The last time I was in the 140's was prior to pregnancy... That was 8 years ago! Getting over the 150 hump is hard but you're fast on your way.
I had a bad food day. I had what I like to call a "fat attack" and nibbled on everything I wanted today. I wouldn't feel so bad if I had actually had a loss this week but I didn't. Oh well... Just gotta try harder tomorrow!
