Let's face it. I work with a bunch of frat boys. 20-30 somethings that are extremely attractive, fit, with enormous attitudes. One on one they are cool, but when the testosterone doubles, triples, quadruples, or more..they turn into a bunch of whiny punk ass bitches.
Today at the all hands meeting, we have one very large gentleman on staff. He's probably in the 350 range at least - not that it matters...But he had to get up and make his way to the front of the room. When he sat back down, these idiots made noises like his chair was breaking.
I wonder what they do/say about me behind my back....

My Pal Sal
My pal Megan went on the HCG diet a while back and has lost some weight. She was taking these shots that dupe your body into thinking it preggo and you lose the urge to eat. She's down at least 30 pounds and watching her body change has been cool. Her attitude has changed some too. She's more outgoing these days. Of course I know this, I've been through it myself.
But she looks so good. At first you couldn't tell - then one day - it was like her hips had lost several sizes. That's where it was first noticeable. And you can really see the change in her face now. Very long/slender face now. She has worked hard and has been more dedicated than I've ever seen. The diet she's on is insane...something like 500 or 700 cals a day - heavy on certain veggies and these disgusting veggie "smoothies". But it's working and I thought she was nuts at first. Plus the expense of $600 at least.
Not something I'm willing to do but if she keeps it up, she'll be happy. She wants to lost another 30 I think.

Brand New Day...
haha those are lyrics by Celine..
Last night was okay. I'm having problems with my right hip. Right where the leg goes into your body on the front part of your hip. It's been a painin' me for a few weeks, seems to feel better when I am actually working out and at its worst when I get up from sitting. Last night I did 30 min of step aerobics...*pat on the back* and boy is that hip hurting today. So I don't know...it still hurt on the days I was lazy and did not work out. But today is worse. Maybe skip the stepping for now and walk or ellipiticalize.
Eating was okay for the most part last night. Ate mashed potatoes late which put me over what I wanted for the day, but was still reasonable. I want to weigh in not until Monday but I am curious and need to know tomorrow. Maybe.

Bad night followed by a better tomorrow
Last night I binged out. I went to the grocery store because I had a hankering for pasta and ended up with various chips/dips/sushi/pasta/cake. $70 I sampled about everything, ate all the sushi, ate my slice of cake and felt like shit.
Then I watched Losing it with Jillian Michaels. She had on a family that went to a Dr. before starting their program with her. The Dr went over some very scary numbers. Told them they were at risk for heart attack and stroke. I weigh more than the wife did in the show. Jillian got them fixed up and kicked in the ass and in 6 weeks, the son lost 25, the mom 30 something and the dad 48 pounds. They looked and seemed to feel so much better.
So today I organized my workout binder...had a 400 calorie brunch -- some good, some crap from yesterday. But I feel better now.
Progress not perfection...

270 Goal
I weighed in today at 279.0. A nice treat to my hard working weekend. But lunch weighed me down. Ale house fish tacos and 2 cupcakes (minis) that I swear are better than sex. I had fish twice today, salad twice, a protein shake, brown/wild rice, and cupcakes. Ok not great but not horrible either. It really added up. 1700 calories and I'm wanting to be in the 1000 range. I worked out 30 minutes so that helped but I think eating out is definitely hard to get my hands on.
This is my treat for hitting that 270.0 goal. Isn't it shiny and me?

Memorial Day 2010
I haven't logged in for a while. It's been over a year I think. I gave up on it. Like I do on many things. I guess I just can't give up on myself. The sad part is...I'm at the same damn weight now than I was a year ago. I don't know what happened but I hit 300 on Jan 1. Now I'm roughtly 282.0. So progress this year I guess. $100 towards shoes I wear once a week, $300 on fitness equipment. And my weight is the same. I'm using Livestrong to track calories and have it set to take off 4 pounds a week. I have to try to be aggressive. I am taking pills to help with the edge..what's it called..phentermine. Not Phen-Fen..Just Phen. It helps but makes my heart race and keeps me awake, but I have to take it to be on that strict Caloric intake.
Dating is a disaster. I have dated all of the guys in Orlando that like bigger girls. Now I have to lsoe weight to get the next crop of guys. I had a decent date last week and it was nice to feel sexy and deseriable after so long of not feeling that way. In the end, he felt I was too quiet and therefore judging although thats not the word he used. Sizing him up. In actuality, I didn't like myself and couldn't see why he would either. And that is why I have to do this.
My immediate goal is 275 which is where I was a week ago. But I had a bad binge week I couldn't turn off. 275-then 270. I go home in a month--I want to be 10 lighter by then, although 16 would be better at 4 pounds a week. Today I did 15 on the elliptical.
