Hi Guys, 1 week till Halloween... wooohoooo. I dont know how many of you love this holiday as much as i do. I just have to not eat any candies

I went to weigh in on saturday, and was suprised to have lost 3.5lbs. I felt so badly about the week before that i kicked it into high gear. went to the gym a few times and ate really well. I am so excited about hitting onederland. I think the anxiety of getting there was really overwhelming. I feel re-motivated and refreshed, and this is a new week. Almost tuesday and i have been eating like a champion. Gym tonite, tomorrow and wed. weigh in on friday. I am sitting at last weigh in at 200.4lbs....... is it possible i can be UNDER 200 this week?? I have packed my bags, and i am ready for Onederland!! I so hope i can keep my tears in check when it does happen..i dont wanna embarass myself lol.

mercuryblue : you GO girl! I wish you soooo much your onderland. You diserve it 150%!

---

I went running tonight, I did 6.77k, it was the farthest I never ran! I'm kinda dead right now but really proud of me I'm also alone for 2 nights, the bf being away for job in Montreal... When I'm alone I don't want to cook as much as when we're together... I'll need to find something quick to eat that is NOT junkfood!

Have a great week everyone!

Mercuryblue: Oh wow, SO CLOSE.. That's incredible! (And also incredibly frustrating I'm sure lol) Congrats on such a great loss this week!

Turbomammoth: That's so fantastic that you have a new running NSV, congrats!

wow turbo, that is awesome! I'm running a 5k in like 10 days... I'm only up to 3K so far :-/

nancy, consistency is awesome! way to go!

I dropped back down below 200 myself this week... just barely *laughs* Here is to hoping it sticks I'm off to a good start at least, I put in 40 min at the gym yesterday and an hour and a half today. I did this new class called "Willpower & Grace" ... it was really hard but really neat.

nancylmrn : gym for 8 days in a row! WOW. That is so impressive! If I work out more than 3 days in a row, I get sooo much sore muscles lol Way to go, girl!

patchy : You can do it!!! 3k is already more than the half of the 5k, you're almost there


I downloaded the Reel Steal soundtrack (oh yeah, the Hugh Jackman movie, god I love that man) and it is usually sooo not my type of music (more into indie rock) but wow that kind of music helps me to work out! I was running with that on monday and I was just feeling like I was going to war lol Plus the beat is great and it helps me to have a better pace while running. I guess I'd just have to find music that don't make me looks like I'm going to kill someone with the Eminem attitude and all... LOL

Well I wasnt a big fan of the guy but I'm starting to love him more and more for my workout! He's now on my Ipod playlist called ''Get he h*** out of the streets, I'm working out!''

For the movie, I went with the bf, and we both reaaaally enjoyed it! There's Hugh Jackman (enough said), the soundtrack is really good, the little actor kid isfunny and the robot effects are honestly awesome. Totally worth it!

Good love for you WI, mercuryblue

On a funny note (well, everyone except me thought it was funny, so I guess it is lol), I had a haircut last night. Took off about 2 inches of lenght and I now have a bang, which is a HUUUUGE change for me, never had that ever before.

So this guy from my lab come in this morning while I'm working, look at me, and starts laughing. I'm like 'Well, there's someone who doesn't like my new hairstyle now hehe'', which was okay with me.

Then the guy stop laughing and ask me ''What character is it for?''
-What character...?
-Well.. your hair.. isn't it for Halloween?
-... WHAT THE...!!

And now it's the running gag of the day in the lab lol

Have a good day everyone!

oh my, did you punch him in the face? I totally would have. Ok probably not but sheesh! I cut off all my hair recently too, it was needed.

Good thoughts for your Mercury!

I tried a new class at the gym today, BodyFlow..... I loved it! My muscles were so sore and it helped so much. Like yoga but cooler!

mercury : YAY FOR YOU! This is so cool, you must be thrilled! What a good energy boost foryou weight loss journey!!! I'm so happy for you, congrats on getting your Onederland

patchy et mercury : the poor ''is it for halloween'' had some for his money. I'm not the shy type girl who would have been sad by his remark, I just got :O OMG ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!

He's a bit culturally challenged, so I forgive him. He's from Africa and wasn't really knowing what Halloween was about... I think he was confuse about all the dressing up thingy plus me changing my hairstyle suddenly LOL

Eminem is always on my workout playlist too. My favorite song is "soldier." So I was on vacation this week and didn't make the best choices. I didn't really overeat, but I had burgers, fries, pizza, etc. Vegetables were almost nonexistant unless they came on top of my sandwich or pizza. Lol. Oh well, I had a pound and a half buffer under my goal weight so hopefully after a few days of being back on track I won't be up too high!

:Onceuponadrive, I hope your WI will be alright. This is SO cool that you're already at your goal weight... That is so inspiring I'll have to try out the ''soldier'' eminem track, I'm short of 2 songs for my 7k soundtrack

Happy Halloween everyone
