180's club

anyone in the 180's and wanna join me for support? hopefully we'll be able to move down the 170's, 160's and 150's (if you wanna go that far) together!!!

Nasuoni - Jump ropes are evil.  Hope your neck feels better soon!  In the mean time, just enjoy the weekend. 

Nas - *rubs neck lightly* I hope it feels better soon.

I did really really whel except for sodium today, because my last meal of the day contained rotisserie chicken and Golden Corral green beans (and other yummy stuff... but I didn't even look twice at the dessert bar!).  My fat was 38, protein was 66 (technically I need 68 but... whatever), my carbs were 188... and it came out to under 1300 calories.  The sodium was almost 3,000!!  But fiber was high.

I also had a lot of water... one water bottle, two glasses (14 fl oz) at lunch, two glasses (14 also I think) at work, and one at dinner.  I'm not adding all that up, but it's a lot.

I hope to see a weight drop tomorrow.  Especially because working keeps me on my feet 5 or more hours at a time.

Oh Nas!  Poor thing, the jump rope was my idea... I feel so bad .  Were you jumping from one foot to the other, or jumping with both feet at once?  IF you dare try practicing without the rope... it's kind of like running in place, but just hopp from left to right, jump off your toes, and land on your toes.  Jumping up and landing on your Heels can Hurt your WHOLE body.  I hope that helps!  Put some nice heat on your neck!

186.0 today, that's my lowest so far !  Tomarrow I will probobly be at 195 but for now I am happy.  Gloved sparring was great!  I didn't get hit in the face!  But I got kicked in the stomach/ribs about 5 times.  :( well Atleast my weak spots are changing!

I have a date tonight with "Cowboy".  He is going to take me dancing, and "Not very shy boy" Texted me.  And the SECOUND i was tottaly given up on "Shy Boy" he impressed me!  So IF he calls I will have lunch with him today, IF he doesn't he's Totally voted off my "Dating Survival Island". 

My Ancle is Much better, turns out it wasn't a sprain at all, but I "chipped" the bone on my shin and it made the whole thing swell up.  Good thing I wrapped and iced it, right now I just have a VERY dark black/purple bruise but it's only about the size of a dime.  That could have been MUCH worse!!!

Leo, you know girl we can't be to hard on ourselves!  were doing all the right stuff the weight will come off if and wen it's ready. 

Lilsmiter - how do you chip a bone, exactly...?  And fantastic on the 186.  Don't be too discouraged if it goes back up.  Overall it is in a downward trend, isn't it?

Yay, today I'm at 178.4 lb.  That's only 0.2 from my lowest weight so far, and I'm happy to be seeing the numbers move again. Despite the Corral offering nice chocolate chess pie and more fried food that you can dream of, I still have been eating fairly healthy.  Maybe all I needed was to get back on my feet again.  When I clock in today, I'll really have a lot of calories to burn - 7 1/2 hours on a Sunday!  All the fancy-dressed churchgoers will be messing up their dresses and suits for their Golden Corral visit.  :-).  Not me!

And finally... UGH still no period.  If it doesn't start by the time I can get to the store (probably Tuesday or Wednesday), I'll have to buy a pg test... I'll update you all.

How to chip a bone.

First start with a bone, then swing at hard object.

Actually all of your bones are covered in a thin Enamil, like your teeth.  You can crack or ship that enamil with out actually breaking the bone.  Shin splints for example is the tendens pulling at that enamil and occasionaly actually cracking it as well. 

190.  I'm not too upset, atleast it isn't 194 right?

*hugs* Lilsmiter, you're right.  At least it's not 194.  As for shin splints... I do know those far too well.  I can feel them right now.

Long day, didn't get enough water, and didn't get enough food.  My deficit was almost 2000 and I am not going to force-feed 1000 calories this time of night.  So... I plan to eat a 500 deficit tomorrow and if I feel up to it, go to the gym.

176.2 after having an awesome party last night and eating yummy yummy foods.

I took it pretty easy friday and Saturday, but I think I'm going to go try and work out tonight...but I'll make it an easy session.

 

I'm excited that while I'm still popping back up, it's less and less each time. I can't WAIT for 170 to hit though. I'm treating myself to new earrings and new shoes. No more rewarding myself with food, or eating when I feel upset! Only reinforces the cycle!!!

 

lilsmiter~ Oh hon I hope your leg feels better :( Geez, shin chip...Owww :( And my neck is feeling better :D Don't worry about the jump rope, that was actually a fitness thing I read (5 minutes of jumping rope replaces your cardio when you do hard core weight training...So much for that :P)

Leo~ Sleep well tonight :D Hopefully that'll help with how you feel tomorrow.

k9~ Thanks hon :D

I am NEVER drinking again!  lol Well... Atleast not in a very long time again.  My Date with the Cowboy was a Disaster.  I got my Degree in Environmental Microbiology with an Emphasis in Hydrology right... And we are at the counter of the restraunt and the waitress says, "I have these Pharmasutical pills that a customer left here along time ago... but they never came back for them, How do you think I should get rid of them, can I just toss them out?"

I say, "Yes, take them out of the case and just put them in the garbage."

He says, "Flush them"

The Waitress and myself both say, "You can't flush pharmasuticals!" 

He says, "Ya you can."

So I say, "Hey Trust me on this, I am "spout my degree" I KNOW."

he says, "Whatever you can flush them."

Whatever?  Whatever?  I spent 5 years in college to get a freaking Whatever from some pompus little @#$% who thinks he is the god of everything because he makes more monney then I do?  I could of put my foot in his #$@.  But I don't.  I let him walk me to my car, on the walk he says, "Ya I could just kick all these stupid environmentalists in the rear who think that Hydroelectric and wind power are worth anything."  He still thinks we are going dancing because he is trying to continue with me To HIS car.

So I got to my car and said, "Thanks for dinner, you have a good night!"

He was supprised, "oh? ok.. Goodnight"

idiot!

lol So I called this other guy (Frankie) who I had been a little intrested in and we ended up getting SMASHED but we had a lot of fun, and he was good company.  But Ouch hang over not worth it.  And he smokes... SO I smoked... cuz I had been drinking and I used to smoke.  So even though I had alot of fun... I don't think I will see him again.  I just don't need smoking and drinking in my life on a regular basis... but should I deside to get a little crazy in a month or two... I know who to call.

I have TO MANY BOYFRIENDS.  Brandon (my X) called the next day, so did "Not very shy Boy" who I went on a date with on Monday, and of course there is the indearing and twisted young "Shy Boy" who kept himself in the running for calling me for lunch.  But Brandon is automaticaly illiminated... "not Very shy boy" is going to hit the road with frankie because he smokes too... not around me, but still... Can't hold one guy to one standard and not the rest of them.  So that leaves my X... who I broke up with for a reason... and "Shy Boy" 

But as far as "Shy Boy" goes... it's hard to make a good mistake when you are always running in terror.  But, I'm done with dating for a while.  It's just getting too chaotic.

So... Today 188.2  Not bad.  Not great. 

I am thinking it is about time to take some time to calm down, focus on the things that matter to me, and my internal life.  My house, body, diet, and creative projects I have been neglecting.  Give myself some time to see which, if any, guy I miss.

What a dating scene you have, Lilsmiter!  Maybe you should take a break from men, or look for somebody decent who will treat you good without leaving you smashed and smoky or degrading your degree.

Today I'm 177.8.  My lowest weight since my diet started!  I guess I'm doing something right, although my deficit was almost 2000 yesterday.  On my feet for 8 hours straight and that was 1400 expenditure, with the rest of the day at about 1300 expenditure, and I had 900 calories all day because I couldn't get a break at work.

I can feel it today, a sinus headache, inability to concentrate, my eye burning, no energy... But that didn't stop my happy dance after seeing 177.8 on the scale.

174.4

But....35% bf and 46.5% h20. It won't last, and I don't want it to. Funny how the bf% is beginning to mean more than the actual weight to me. Hmph.

Going out with friends tonight for Chicago style pizza. Only ate 550 or so thus far, and got a mini-workout from cleaning the house (75 minutes and 301 calories go heart rate monitor!), so I think I can indulge a bit in yummy pizza.

Lilsmiter, your life sounds like a soap opera, minus the cheesy twins coming back from the grave, the step-mother who tries to poison you, and the psycho ex of your lover who calls a hit out on you.

In other words, it sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you have fun dating around, I wish I had in the past. :( Nice to get that kind of attention :)

 

Hurray for you Leo!! :D

Nasuoni - I don't think the % body fat works on a scale very well.  You might want to do the home-body-fat test on http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home -body-fat-test-2774-143.html
I'm down to 26.9% body fat, from my original 30.6%.  The reason i say this is because I'm 5 ft 3 and 177.8 now and my %bf was always lower than you say yours is... I should check this in the morning before I eat, rather than randomly when I think of it in the middle of the day... Maybe I'm smaller.

But the real reason I came back for the day is because although I skipped a period, I got to the on-campus store and checked if I was pregnant, AND I'M NOT so yay.  I had a lot of reasons to KNOW I wasn't pregnant, like being on birth control and... other things... but when you skip a period it's always scary.  I'm going to attribute the skipped period to stress and the sudden weight loss from being sick last month.

EDIT:  long day, huge workout.  Believe it or not, I felt like I had too much energy after the workout and I wanted to go back to the gym.  Even with my too-low food intake.

191  This feels like an Upward trend.  My Trend line seems to be going up too.  I havn't gotten a 186 in a while, but I havn't gotten as high as a 194 either. 

Got to get back on the ball, Yogart and fruit in the morning.  Sensible lunch... Drink more watter, My scale has been telling me that I am really dehydrated.

NAS Today my %Body fat was 36!  LOL... No,  I am just dehydrated.  Actually very dehydrated.  46.5% water is OK but maybe you should work on drinking more.

LEO  Good thing your not Prego.  Skipped period is scary, do you think it is your birth control?

Good morning everyone... I'm kind of tired this morning... lots of crazy dreams that left me panting and sweaty in the middle of the night... Burning calories, I hope.

Lilsmiter - I'm sorry about your numbers.  Yes, get back on the ball, and try something new.  I heard that if you're always doing the same thing, why expect any new results?  And... it could be my birth control, but around November, I was finally at the point where I could expect my period at a decent time because it became very predictable.

Did Eddie disappear? He seems very motivated.

Also... lots to do today... I've got to go to the library and print off a few documents, and I'm going to try to make an effort to find the Salvation Army or the Goodwill for some new clothes.  Although I haven't seen any significant weight loss this month, it feels like a lot of my clothes are sliding off my behind.  By my measurements (I use an old belt that I've marked inches onto it), it seems like I've dropped an inch from my hips and three from my waist over the course of a month.  Makes sense.  Finally I have to stop by work and check my schedule for the week, make sure they don't have me scheduled on a Thursday or something.

177.4 today.

Hi everyone, Happy April Fools!

Just wanted to share... I'm 169.6 today!  I'm soooo happy to be in the 160's (barely).  :)

Leo - I would think that it's your food intake change that may be messing w/your period... I seem to be having the same problem.  As soon as I started eating better and counting calories it seems to have gotten confused and doesn't know when it's supposed to come anymore.  I guess it's just a surprise, lol.

175.4 today. I keep thinking that the scale is broken, it seems too good to be true that I've lost weight. It's a good feeling, though, haha.

It's almost bedtime and I already ate supper but I just got this huge craving for pork fried rice. And cookies XD

I hope you are all doing well, have a good night!

I'm so tired...  I didn't go to the gym.

I only had 1100 calories and I'm not going to push more.

And I'm at 177.4 lb.

I'm going to go to sleep.

Hey, I'll play too! I'm 5'4" and 187, and trying to get down to 135. So far I'm taking in about 1400-1500 a day, and a sedentary activity level(soon to change!)

Right now I'm supposed to be around 1200-1250 for my activity level, but keeping it there made me feel pretty drained out. Compared to my activity log, I think I'm burning about 3-500 or so calories over what I'm eating(if I'm reading this right)

I am so proud of myself!  I have NOT been active at all and for the past 2 days went for a walk with my family.  We are trying to keep each other motivated but it is sooo hard.  Just got over my period. 182.5 yesterday :(  I am hoping with the addition of walking that I can stop this yo yo crap!  You guys are so active I feel ashamed of myself! ( in a good way though, it's motivating!)  Everyone keep up the good work!!

191 again.

Why is it that when you are feeling the most down, men can't shut up about their own problems?  I'm depressed right now and Lou IMed me about something he was mad about.  When I say that I can't hear it right now, I really do mean it.  I can listen later, but right now for once it's got to be about me.  Give me a hug and a smile, and stop worrying about a little problem that can quickly and easily be resolved.

The good news is... I am down to 174.6 for some strange reason.  Probably a fluke.
