Finally the scale stopped moving for a day! Although I like seeing numbers go down, I didn't like them going down so freaking fast. I'm 5'9 and 141 now and don't want to lose much more weight. I think the lowest I want to get to is like 135 and that's not too far away. My mom commented that I was too skinny yesterday...are you serious mom? I think I freaking look like the she-hulk. Which is a good thing. I'm almost embarrassed by my muscles at the gym. lol. just kidding. I think she's losing weight too, so I'm proud of my mom. Although she's not exactly doing it the way that I want her too.

That facebook chat is dangerous! Chris messaged me AGAIN when I signed on and asked me if I was going to someone's bday party tonight, which thankfully I have plans with Patrick (get to that later). I think he's finally gotten the message through his little brain. Or else I'm in for an unpleasant surprise.

So anyhow, I texted with Patrick yesterday from 5pm-10pm. I went to bed at 10 since I have work this morning at 6. But I have something to look forward to: Patrick and I have our first official date tonight. We are seeing Fouth Kind and I'm gonna die! haha. The previews already freak me out so this will just be great. I think my mom and I are going shopping today so I hope to find a cute shirt to wear.

To-do:

Work 6-1
Shower when I get home (I know I'll get gross at work)
Be out the door by 2:30pm and go shopping with my mom

No keeping track of food today, I probably won't get back on much.

So I went over to Patrick's house last night right after work We put in a movie, Casino Royale (Newer James Bond movie) but I cannot tell you what exactly happened during it. hehe. I stayed there until like 2 am, I probably would've spent the night there if I didn't think my parents would have a fit about it. lol. We were already falling asleep together and very comfortable doing so. Alls we did was make out and cuddle so parents would've had nothing to worry about, but they are ultra conservative and I would've had an earful, even if I am 23 years old. I like having a roof above my head and food in my belly so I'm gonna try to keep the peace around here.

Scale said 141 this morning. I definitely ate enough calories yesterday thanks to pizza at Patricks. I was gonna be low for the day but that definitely brought me back up to probably around 1700, which is a good amount since I ran a pretty good distance yesterday. I'm gonna stop counting calories since I pretty much know when I'm having a low day, I just wanted to see how much I was actually getting and where I need improvements.

Work today 9am-2pm. Definitely gonna need all the caffeine I can muster up since I only got around 4-5 hours of sleep but I'm not gonna complain about that. Maybe I should bring workout clothes with me to work and go to the Y afterwards?? hmmm I'll do that, but I might wait til tonight if I'm not feeling it. My mom told me to bring in those chocolates to work because she keeps snacking on them. So I'm gonna be a nice daughter and do that. She says she's lost about 10 lbs so I'm hoping she keeps at it and I'll try and help her out.

I have no real plans yet today, besides work and hopefully a work-out. I might tan too after work/work-out...that requires basically no energy to do.

7:10am-9am: COFFEE
8am: 1 cup kashi golean crunch, 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 a banana, handful of blueberries
12: turkey sandwich (light wheat. 2 slices tukey, 1 slice swiss, honey dijon) and a 16 oz lo-carb monster
3:30pm: 1 c. kashi golean crunch, 6 oz nonfat organic yogurt

Workout: did 25 on elliptical, abs, some arm and leg weights

= how I feel this morning. I hope everyone has a good day!

Happy Birthday to the GROUND!

Nov 04 2009 07:26

First off, go look at the new SNL skit: "I threw it on the ground"...freaking hilarious.

Patrick and I texted from 6pm-1am so let's just say things are going good. He's coming back tonight so hopefully I'll see him tonight or tomorrow. He told me that he was staying with some Marine pre-lim dudes and a bunch of them got caught drinking. What morons! got caught by the recruiters, which makes a great first impression. They couldn't even leave their rooms because they are being held responsible by the government.

So anyway, scale said 141 this morning. I think I ended up eating around 1500-1600 calories yesterday thanks to some chocolates that came in the mail with my parent's new carpet. And I didn't go to the gym last night since I was texting with Patrick and I cooked dinner for my Dad. I figured 2 hours of volleyball was really enough anyhow.

I might go on a run today for the first time in like 3 weeks...lol. I have a turkey trot on thanksgiving morning so I better start running at least 3 times a week. I'm either going to try to run to starbucks or the YMCA. Starbucks is about 3 miles, YMCA is like 3.7. Oh boy I'm going to die, but at least the weather will be nice. *update* made it to the Ymca in 37 minutes!! not too horrible for not running

*ANOTHER UPDATE* I'm going to Patrick's house after work tonight

Stuff today:

Go on a run (done)
Shower (haha this is a given really) -(done)
Try and persuade my mom to go shopping? tehe (fail)
Work 5:30pm-9:30pm (barely even worth the drive there)
Calorie goal: at least 1500-1600

FOOD:

7:30am-9:30am: Coffee!! =50
8:30am: 1 cup kashi golean crunch (190), unsweetened almond milk (30) handful of blueberries (25) 1/2 a banana (50)= 295
11:45am: bourbon chicken (300) coffee yogurt (160)=460
1:45pm: 8 ounces unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 a banana=190

Just call me Puma

and no, not in any relation to the Lion King. Patrick came over last night and we watched a couple scary movies and somehow got into a tickle war which resulted in us cuddling and then having a make out fest. So I guess I was right in thinking that he had a thing for me. lmao. I was a little hesitant at first but that quickly vanished and I was glad he stuck to just making out because I didn't want to pull out any stop signs on our first little rendezvous. I thought he was going to a couple times but he managed to control himself. TMI time: It seems like TTOM came too which must be some kind of intervention. Especially since it's like 15 days early, which never happens to me.

Okay so scale said 142 this morning. I'm losing weight faster than I think I should be.

Work 6-1. I got a crappy night's sleep too so this will be dandy. At least I have something to daydream about though. One of Patrick's friends is taking me to go look at soccer cleats today for frisbee and football. So hopefully I won't be slipping and falling all over the place anymore.

Not sure what's going on today. I'm hoping either frisbee or football, other wise I'll have to go to the gym. No time to log food today, I'm already running kinda late this morning. Crap gotta run!

Sunday

Nov 01 2009 07:15

So my plans yesterday pretty much did a 180 in all directions. Instead of frisbee, we played tackle football. The boys just did two touch on me though since I'm a girl. I did go out to eat as planned with my friend and had a good time talking with her, even if it only was for a short while. We had Mexican food and I started with one margarita and could not taste any alcohol in it...so pissed, it's freakin halloween I need at least a little buzz, normally one or two margaritas will do it but this stuff was weak, so I order a jack on the rocks. Which ends up being a rip off (too much ice, not enough actual Jack) so I just order a Jack straight up next..and then it finally kicks in. lol. I call Patrick who is freakin on his way to downtown and I tell him to turn his butt around and come pick me up because there was no way I was going to try to make it to downtown in that condition. He was with a couple of his buds so they turn around to come get me, but get pulled over in the process for speeding. They just get a warning but Chris (the one who drove) says that he's just gonna go home so we take my car. Patrick drives because I sure couldn't. Patrick dressed as Robin Hood and his friend Brian dressed up as Jesus and I was a hippie so we were a pretty interesting little trio. We ended up just walking around downtown looking for something to do but found nothing since they were under 21.

So we decided to go see Paranormal Activity, which was pretty crazy. I freak out pretty easily at scary movies and Patrick had to console me lol. I could tell he was nervous doing this. He had to hold down my hands because I use them as eye shields and I could tell he was shaking a bit with his hands on mine but that could have been me too? I couldn't even tell, but the shaking was making me even more jumpy. The last 2 minutes of the movie was the best though, it's kind of slow in the beginning but the last 2 minutes freaked me out hard core. I definitely had to watch some Family Guy when I got home to make me feel better. But all in all it was a pretty good night for not being too eventful, I got some blisters on my toes from all that walking, but it was worth it.

So anyhow the scale said 143 this morning which surprised the crap out of me since I had all those drinks and Mexican food. But I'll take it.

I'm not sure what my plans are today. I should probably go to church but I'm not sure if I feel like driving that far this morning. Don't really have a good excuse b/c of the time change either. I'll probably head to the gym if I don't hear of any frisbee or anything going on.

7:30am-?: 3 cups coffee (3 splendas, 1tbsp sf creamer)
8am: 1 c. fiber one honey clusters, .5 banana, .5 c. light vanilla soy milk, handful of blueberries
1pm: 1 cup kashi go lean, 6 oz nonfat yogurt (cereal just sounded good again)

Saved by the dog!

Oct 30 2009 13:06

I opened my eyes this morning to my parents dog whining at me...I just think that she wants to get fed earlier than usual so I roll back in bed until I glance at the clock. Immediately I try to re-adjust my eyes because it can't be 5:30am!! But it is! I'm supposed to leave at 5:30 so I jump out of bed pull on my work clothes, grab the toothbrush w/some toothpaste, run downstairs, let the dog out, feed her and the cat, spit the toothpaste remnants in the sink, pour some cereal in a lil baggy and run out the door. I don't even care about hair/make-up, I was atleast still wearing yesterday's make up and my hair wasn't too bad. But now another problem...I have no caffeine in me and am on my way to work so I have to make the call whether or not I have time for a starbucks run. The obvious answer is yes. There's always time, even when there's really not time. Time is nothing when coffee is involved. So I run in and can't even mumble out the right drink order and laugh at myself when I say a "Vinni" instead of a venti. Guy taking my order had a good chuckle at me too. But I managed to get in and out pretty quick, the drive-thru was packed but inside was empty. I ended up getting to work about 2 minutes late. I couldn't believe it. I've never run out the door in that big of a hurry before. So both the dog and Starbucks saved me today.

I'm guessing I turned off my alarm in my sleep. I got a couple late phone calls/texts so I must have been used to silencing my phone. This one guy keeps texting me and it's getting annoying. He's a friend of Patricks and he's the type of text-er that texts you numerous times before you can even write a response. I haven't responded to any of his texts today because I don't want to send any wrong messages AND I just plain don't feel like it. Now if Patrick texted me, that would be a different story. Speaking of which, we talked online a bit last night but nothing else going on there really.

Oh and I got my hippie costume last night. I'm going to have to tweak it a bit to make it more appropriate. I'm going to a party with some people from church so I think showing your midriff might be a little much. But anyhow. I wanted to get an afro too, but alls they had were black ones and I wanted a brown one. So I might do without it.

Stuff today:

Work 6-12 (done)
Tan (done)
Workout (planning on 30 minutes cardio, abs, and maybe a lil bit of weights) (done)
Friend's bday party tonight

Food:

5:40am: Venti Skinny caramel latte
9am: 1 cup kashi golean crunch
1pm: grilled cheese (light wheat bread, 2 slices 2% american cheese, 1 tbsp. light butter), 7 strawberries
3pm: 1 cup kashi golean crunch, 6oz nonfat yogurt
5:45pm: 2 servings of Select Harvest Mexican TOrtilla soup and a slice of light wheat bread

Uh oh. Cute guy who works @ gym said "hey" to me...hehe

effing rain

Oct 29 2009 07:19

Frisbee was cancelled last night because of the rain so I didn't see Patrick yesterday. I invited him to pick-up volleyball this morning so we'll see if he shows. He again was in my dream last night and it wasn't a good one. He was dating another girl. lol. Dang dreams. I'm just going to take this one day at a time, if something happens, it happens but I'm really trying not to get ahead of myself here.

CC was being lame last night and wouldn't let me log in. It was pretty annoying. I didn't do much of anything since frisbee was cancelled. I watched some of the world series then fell asleep watching a movie. And now when I can be sleeping in, I'm awake at 7:15am. I might try and go back to sleep for an hour.

Volleyball today 10-11 at the Y, then 11:30-2pm at local college. No work today! A friend is coming in town Saturday and so we are gonna be hanging out on Saturday. She's supposed to call me to tell me whether or not she can go to this Halloween party with me because then I'll need to go get a costume. I scoped around the costume stores yesterday and I'm pretty sure that I want to be a Hippie. lol.

Not much else going on, I might try and sleep a bit more. Hope everyone has a good day.

7:30-9:30am: 3 cups coffee (3 splendas + 1 tbsp. SF creamer)- I actually only had 2 so far, but maybe a 3rd in the afternoon?
8am: 1 c. kashi golean crunch, 1/2 banana, 1/2 c. light van. soymilk
2:30pm: 7 medium strawberries, grilled cheese (2 slices light wheat bread, 2 slices 2% american cheese, 1tbsp light butter)
6pm: 6 ounce nonfat yogurt
9pm: lean cuisine meal

*UPDATE: So Patrick did show up for volleyball but then after an hour goes by he says hes going to play vball at this college nearby so he asks if I want to come along so I say yes. Vball at the college wasn't as fun at the Y but it wasn't too bad. I really cannot tell if Patrick is interested. I mean we flirt and crap but nothing is happening beyond that and it's kind of bumming me out. Alls we do is play volleyball or frisbee or go to Cici's. Either I just gotta be patient or maybe "just friends" is the right route. Hmmm...

So I'm thinking I should go to bible study tonight. I am...............60% sure I will go. LOL. Eh...but on 2nd thought my friend should tell me today whether or not we will go to that halloween party around 7 and I'll need to hurry up and buy a costume immediately. I'll decide later I guess.

Scale said 146 again this morning! So I guess it was correct yesterday. I didn't do any type of exercise yesterday, I figured I needed a rest day, plus I was and still am pretty sore.

So that one Chris guy flat out told me that we should hang out this week and to let him know when I'm free. It was on facebook chat, and I didn't respond, infact I signed off then and there. Sorry buddy, not interested and even if I was I'm actually not free at all this week. I might be going to this b-day party for this girl from church at some bar/restaurant on Friday and I'm really hoping he won't be there. I am looking forward to some Jack Daniels though.

My co-workers are trying to get me to go out with them on Thursday. The crackheads...they are going to some hip hop club and I told them that's not my scene anymore and I've had some bad experiences at those types of places. They must not listen, because they keep asking me.

So Patrick and I texted for 3 hours yesterday. That's a good sign right? I mean you wouldn't text someone for that long that you don't like. At least thats what you would think. lol. I'm seeing him today We are playing Ultimate Frisbee tonight and I'm hoping he offers to pick me up or hang out before/after. Just hoping though, not expecting. He was in my dream last night, but I cannot really remember the details. Darnit! Alls I can remember is we were at some hotel party for a wedding and I was with him and drinking Jack Daniels..lol.

So anyway. Work 7-2. Frisbee at 8-ish. I should maybe look around a Halloween costume store today. But I'll see how I feel after work. Yesterday went by really slowly at work so I'm hoping today goes by faster.

5-7am: 3 cups coffee (3 splendas + 1 tbsp. SF creamer)
6am: 1 cup Kashi golean crunch, 1/2 cup light soy milk, 1/2 a banana
11:30am: turkey sandwich (swiss cheese,turkey, light wheat bread) and a non fat yogurt

Hope everyone has a good day!

Up before the alarm

Oct 27 2009 05:10

That's two days in a row I've woken up before my alarm goes off. Eh, maybe I'm just getting a good night's sleep lately.

The scale said 145 or 146 this morning which is a bit of a leap from 149, but I have been playing volleyball and frisbee like a mad woman lately. Plus, my calories were a bit low yesterday so my scale could just be messing with me. I'll check again tomorrow. And I have no plans right after work so I should be up with calories again.

So hmmmm....I think I've made it clear to Patrick that I like him..or at least that I'm interested in eventually liking him. I'm pretty shy around the guys so this was a huge effort (ok not that huge, but still) to try and show him it. So who knows what will happen? We texted a bit before volleyball yesterday, and it seemed like he looked at me a lot while we were playing. And he does sweet things like drive me to my car because I was parked further and it was raining. Again, trying not to get my hopes up with this. There's a small part of me that says I should just forget about him and move on, but I know that's just probably because I've been single for so long. I've been running from relationships for quite a while now, and I think it's time to start to try, even if it is with a younger guy.

There might be some pick-up volleyball tonight somewhere. I have to call/text this one guy to ask what time and where. He's some kind of Asian and I couldn't really understand where he said so I'll try texting again so it'll be more clear. Pat and his buds are going to pick-up volleyball at the Y this morning, since I told them about it. I wish I could go, but I'll be at work. I should probably invite them to pick-up tonight but I have no idea what it's going to be like. Maybe I'll ask Asian Dude, his name is Erns I think, if they can come. I'm SUPER sore this morning so I don't even know if I'll wanna go. My muscles usually loosen up as the day goes on, so I'm sure it'll be fine. A banana would help, but there are no bananas in the house!

5-7am: 3 cups coffee (3 splendas, 1 tbsp SF creamer)
6:15am: kashi oatmeal
11:30am: Turkey sandwich (2 slices sourbread, 3 slices turkey deli meat, and some mustard)
2:15pm: forced myself to eat a banana
6:30pm: big @$$ cheeseburger on a wheat bun and about 1/2 cup green beans

Something is wrong with my appetite. Maybe I should buy some peanut butter.

Monday

Oct 26 2009 04:39

I think I actually got enough sleep last night. I went to bed around 8:30 and woke up at 4:30am so that's like...8 hours! And I don't feel like I got hit by a train like I normally do at this time. Yipee! Hooray! (only can be said like Mogatu off Zoolander-just watched that the other night..lol)

Frisbee was a lot of fun yesterday. Patrick played without his shirt on. He's from Cali and is a surfer so he has a pretty nice 6 pack going on so I was impressed. I played so-so. Got a couple interceptions, one "touch down" and a couple blocks...but my passing wasn't too good. Someone called me a beast (which I think he meant it as a compliment because it was after I blocked him) and Patrick called him out and said that calling girls "beasts" isn't nice. I didn't expect him to defend me. I'm trying not to look too into things though. I'll just see what happens with this I guess. They invited me to go play volleyball at 3:30pm and frisbee at 4:30 and then we all have volleyball games at 7 at the Y so today will be pretty busy.

And of course the reason I'm up at 4:30 this morning is because I have work 6-11am. I'll be counting on someone to bring me breakfast too. But maybe I should bring something just in case. Like a cup of Kashi golean Crunch or something. My dad cooked cheeseburgers last night so I'll have that for lunch probably and I'm gonna guess that we are all going to Cici's again after volleyball tonight. Sounds like it's "tradition" with these guys.

I don't like analog scales. They are too hard to read in the mornings.

4:30-6am: 3 cups coffee ( 3 splenda, 1 tbsp SF creamer)
5am: 1/2 a banana
9am: 1 cup Kashi golean crunch
2pm: 6 ounce Stonyfield non-fat blueberry yogurt
5 or 6pm: 3 slices pizza at Cicis

Calories are really low today. But don't worry I'll make up for it tonight.

Exercise: ultimate frisbee and volleyball
