A very splendid Friday to you all!
I have been up since about 6:30 am, for reasons only God knows.
My internet went out last night and I about had a panic attack.
You do not keep me from my internet, ever!
Haha!
Exercised again right after I woke up, so I am feeling pretty good today.
I am mega hungry but no one else is up yet so I do not want to make breakfast and make a whole bunch of noise.
I am gonna have some oatmeal today! (porridge to you Brits, haha!)
And some sort of fruit too.
I need to compile a shopping list of healthy foods I want at the beach.
Any suggestions? :)
I have to pack my suitcase (duffel bag?) today so that I am not running around doing it at the last minute, like usual.
I am going to sneak my laptop, mouse, and charger into my suitcase so that I can still update and stuff while we are at the beach.
Fear not! :D
We are leaving at 4 am Sunday morning.
Yup, that is my dad for you.
Always has to be early for everything.
JenJen is coming with us (my assistance dog) and so is my sister's guinea pig, since he is on a whole bunch of medicine for his heart thing.
It is a no pet condo, shh!
Of course, Jen is allowed wherever, since she is a certified assistance dog from a reputable organization and it would be against the law for them to not let me have her with me, but we are gonna have to hide Harvey. (guinea pig)
Should not be too difficult, he is not that big.
I really need to get some new jeans.
Really bad.
None of mine fit.
All I have are my "fat" jeans that are the dress size I was before I started losing weight.
They are no longer going to be my "fat" jeans because I am NEVER getting that big again!
But yeah, they do not fit, even with my belt on the tightest notch.
Sigh.
It is only logical that they should not, considering I am down four dress sizes now.
I NEED JEANS THAT FIT.
I am really kind of tired of hiding in jeans that are literally four sizes too big.
I mean, yes, I am not at my goal weight yet, but I am not really all that fat anymore, either.
I am mostly muscle now, which is nice.
I can feel bones now, and I could never do that before.
Bones yearning to poke out, showing the world how strong and in control I am, and how much willpower I have! (or do not, depending on the day, haha!)
I will hit goal one day soon, I know it.
Soon probably means in like 6 months or so, but I can deal with that.
I am working too hard to give up now!
-puts on game face-
Who is ready to hit their goal weight?
WHO IS WITH ME?!
Shall we beat fat together?
If we are a team, there is no way fat can win. :D
I hope you all have a wonderful day; you deserve it!
Stay positive, stay beautiful! <3
**EDIT 6:01 pm**: Just back from shopping. I got two new pairs of size 12 jeans from K-Mart for $9.99 each and they fit perfectly! I also got Starbursts and whole-grain Goldfish crackers for the car ride to NC on Sunday. :) I got my salty and my sweet food so I am good. Majorly triggered by the dessert aisle in K-Mart; sometimes I wonder if a texting buddy would be a good thing to have, to help me in those moments. If you are interested and live in the U.S. let me know, haha! :) Had "normal person food" at Burger King; gosh, it was delicious! That is something that is a "once in a while" type thing, though! :)
**EDIT 12:30 am** Just a little side note, if you were ever curious as to what my real name is, I put it in my profile, lol. I am still Princess Perfection just in case anyone I know would find this (though I do not think they will) but now you can put a REAL name with the person behind the blog, haha! :)
Food:
- 1 packet Quaker Banana Bread Weight Control oatmeal (+160 calories)
- 1 piece Italian toast (+80 calories)
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jelly (+50 calories)
- 1 small Double Stack Value Meal from BK [I felt like indulging!] (+720 calories)
Total: 1,010/1,541 calories
Exercise: 150 twisting crunches, 150 regular crunches, 150 jackknives, 100 reverse dumbbell curls, 100 regular dumbbell curls, 100 dumbbell flies [each arm], 50 regular pushups
Yup, it is us against the fat. And guess what? WE ARE GOING TO WIN! :D <3
FAT WILL BE DEFEATED! Hahaha. I have the same problem with my jeans. I still have a few pairs of 17s lying around, and the 10s I wear now are starting to get a little loose. If only they made magic jeans that shrink when you do.
ReplyDeleteawww, it's great that you need new jeans - an excuse to go shopping and a bit of solid evidence to remind you of your hard work! :) i think i need smaller jeans, but i love my clothes, and i think if i buy them any smaller my mum may say something. and not many places sell size 6's! uk size 6 that is :)
ReplyDeletefor your healthy shopping list, why not just add loooooads of fruit and salad stuff? i find it makes me feel even more summery :)
xx
Oatmeal sounds much more appetizing than PORRIDGE. lol. Porridge sounds absolutely disgusting. haha
ReplyDeleteYou're down four dress sizes?! That is amazing! I'd rather be down four dress sizes than ever have to look at the scale again. How exciting!
It's pretty awesome to get to take your dog everywhere. I know she's an assistance dog, but it would be nice to have the comradeship. It helps that I absolutely LOOOOOVE dogs! :)
If you need new pants for the time being you could always just go to a consignment shop and find some cheapies until you get your goal weight. You can find used American Eagle jeans for like $10. Or even if you went on eBay. :)
you're doing so well! keep it up!
In summer, I always enjoy pineapple which contains bromelain and papaya, which contains papain. Both are digestive enzymes credited with aiding weight loss! Rice cakes are nice snacks as they are super low cal and very satisfying. Popcorn is also a nice low calorie snack! If you can get ice lollies (popsicles?) made with fruit juice, instead of corn syrup, these are a great, healthy cooler. Crudités and a low cal dip, like fat free/low fat cottage cheese are a great source of fibre and for a quick protein fix, don't forget the devilled eggs! Also, remember to stay hydrated, Babe!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well you're doing! You go, girl! I'm with you, let's kick it! <3. XXX.
Thanks for adding me to your follow list, your the first person to and I appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts on positivity really struck a cord with me, they help re-inforced what Ive been thinking over the past few weeks, positivity = success!
Its amazing that you have lot 40lb, great work!!
You should be happy that all your jeans are too big! It's a great sign of progress!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I know how it feels. I had to go shopping recently because none of my pants fit. It was so frustrating starting dieting because none of my old clothes fit and then losing enough weight that none of my regular clothes fit and being stuck somewhere in-between with nothing to wear. Boo to that.
Hope you have a great time at the beach! :)
Um yes!!! 8165277417!!!!
ReplyDelete"Bones yearning to poke out, showing the world how strong and in control I am, and how much willpower I have!"
ReplyDeleteOmigod, that sentence is like, better than most of the thinspo quotes I've read! Anytime I feel weak, that line is going to motivate me! :)
I'm very jealous, your doing so well and four dress sizes is fricking amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteI felt like shit before reading your blog today, but you really brought my motivation back. Thank you <3
