Also I need to do a little bit of shopping. My clothes are literally hanging off of me. I need to start caring more about my appearance; I feel as though for the past few years, I’ve just tried to hide. Now? Look at me, bitches! :)
I'm waiting in line for the Tory Burch sample sale
Something I don’t think I would have done a few months ago for the following reasons:
not thinking anything would fit
thinking I’d be the fat chick everyone was looking at, wondering what she was doing there.
The line is so long that I may not get in, but that is totally okay by me.
LOLs
Lindsay was completely amused this weekend by my taking pictures of everything I ate and kept trying to catch me taking the pics, but apparently I’m pretty stealth mode. I think that’s why she jumped into the last picture :)
mythinspo:
so, I started losing weight hoping I’d feel better but since I started my lower back has hurt more and more. I don’t get it. at work is the worst…what used to be a comfortable chair is now painful. feeling like I can’t win.
My lower back has started hurting too, but my trainer says it’s the muscles, and that I’m making them stronger. So hang in there — no pain no...
This morning's deep thought
Brought to you (unfortunately, not in any monetary or free coffee kinda way, just by copious amounts of coffee) by a venti Pike Place from Starbucks.
Fat cells obscure happiness.
I thought of this this morning as I was standing in Starbucks. Not too much has changed in my life since starting down this weight-loss road, but I am leaps and bounds happier—I really think being heavier makes it...
I just said I’d go to the trainer at 6 am tomorrow. Yaaaaaawn.
Misson: 2.5 hours of cardio by tomorrow night
I was honest with my trainer and told him that I didn’t do cardio on Monday and last Friday while I was driving, so he told me to kick things up a notch.
2.5 hours of cardio before I see him Saturday morning. I overslept for it this morning, so 1 hour and 15 min tonight, and hopefully 45 min tomorrow am and 45 min tomorrow evening.
Aruba is in just over two months, so it’s time for...

nutritionista:
THANK YOU. People need to realize that diet pop (er sorry, “soda” for most of you) is nasty AND there’s nothing “diet” about it.
(via losingweightinthecity)
I’m glad this link resonated so much with people! The irony is that I was ADDICTED to diet soda, until my trainer told me all of this about it. Since then, I’ve cut back to no more than 1-2 a week. Going away...

Willpower: I haz it? (Sort of?)
It’s my boss’ birthday today, so we just had birthday cake. Red velvet birthday cake. (Little piece of heaven birthday cake.) I said yes to be nice, and asked for the smallest piece and then proceeded to throw half of it away. I’m thinking of getting my smoothie pretty soon to counteract the bad sugar with some good sugar and protein. (Ideal scenario would be a piece of cheese...

So here’s the deal. My boss has more followers than me. This clearly is not okay. So!

Beer and burger diet - don't try this at home
As you know if you’re a regular reader, I went away this weekend. I certainly ate better than I used to, but not as well as I’ve been eating lately. I left weighing 168.
This morning I weighed myself and I weighed 165. I have no idea how this happened, but I’m sure as hell not gonna knock it. Or continue eating how I did this weekend.
one-twenty-five:
I had a thought (revelation?) last night: The reason I’m so scared of people of the opposite sex liking me is because… I’M JUDGING THEM FOR LIKING SOMEONE WHOSE OVERWEIGHT (ie. Me).
Ridiculous I know *shaking head*, simply ridiculous.
You’re not the only one! “I’m overweight, why would you like me?” has NEVER gone through my head…
Weird
It’s 9:45 and I haven’t had dinner and I’m not even hungry in the least. Also, my apartment is pretty much sparkling clean. I’m not a slob, but I’m definitely not a neat freak. And I definitely never am not hungry for dinner!
I think I am ridiculously overtired from having driven back all the way from OBX yesterday.
Stalling...
I got to the gym and forgot a shirt. (Dudes, don’t get too excited.) So I came home to get one…and I’m still sitting on the couch. Chatting online with Amy. Must. Work. Out.
(So that I can eat!)
Vacay in food
Last night I had a hot dog for dinner finished off with 4-5 beers.
Today I had a Dunkin turkey sausage flatbread, half a banana, some string cheese and a margarita. Tamsin and I plan on running later…so we can have more beer!
Don't do anything on a "diet" that you aren't...

Another Reason to Love Omega-3s: May Reduce... →
As I said a while back, I went off birth control when I started this whole weight-loss thang, figuring I wouldn’t put anything in my body I didn’t have to. (Um, besides wine.) I had originally gone on it because of the awful cramps I was getting. Well, I’ve been taking an Omega-3 supplement lately, and yesterday I woke up with cramps. Later yesterday morning, I was sitting at my...
Spreading oneself thin
…is what I feel like I’ve been doing lately, so I’m sorry this blog has been neglected a bit. Between Junior League, work, looking for a new apt, trying to have a social life and trying to relax, I feel like I’ve been pulling myself in a gazillion different directions. I’ve also caught myself eating and drinking a bit more lately than I would like. I am going on a...
Gasp. Just saw a Baja Fresh being built. It isn't...
(via stylebunny) where is said Baja???
To Do
Stop sitting on the couch and go to the gym!!
Ah!
So yesterday I had too many beers, an entire burger (nutritionist recommended only half as burgers are so fattening)…
Today I had a margarita and some chips with a fajita salad…where has my self-control gone?
I added a handful of spinach to my morning...
thinnerthoughts:
I like it. Couldn’t tell at all!
Smoothie:
Soy Slender Vanilla Soymilk
Acai Unsweeted Smoothie Pack
Banana
Strawberries
Spinach
Ice
Filling and healthy!
Looks pretty yummy! I have been trying to get into the veggie juice/smoothie thing, but the idea of it is still nauseating to me sometimes. But sneaking it in slowly doesn’t sound too bad!
