I’ll Tell Them I Invented Post-Its…

As you may know from my ‘omigod new condo’ posts, I’m finally peacing out of the parent’s pad (I like to be gansta sometimes) and into a beautiful condo with a good friend, Vee, this Saturday. 

We’re planning on having a BIG housewarming party in May, where present friends and past friends will grace my presence. I say ‘past friends’ simply because Vee has stayed in contact with nearly everyone from high school, whereas I have not (by choice I might add). 

That being said our housewarming party = mini 5 year reunion = omifg I need to look good = big motivation = a new mini goal. 

I’m going to aim to be in the 150s by May 31.  I don’t care if I’m 159, as long as the second digit in my weight is a ‘5.’   I realize this isn’t a huge goal, but my routine is drastically changing (what?! you mean my mom won’t be buying and prepping super healthy dinners for me anymore?!?) thus, I’ve set (what I think is) a realistic goal. 

I should also warn you that the volume of fashion posts will most likely increase, because umm duh, I need a new GREAT outfit, that from a glance lets the high school crowd think, “Damn E looks fine,” and/or, “Damn, E must be doing well for herself,” and other things which are inappropriate for this blog. (Hush up! you would do the same. Don’t lie)

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way…. and Damnit! I Have a Will…

Things I’ve recently learnt, or have been reminded of:

  • Losing weight? H to the A to the R to the D.
  • Wanting to wear fabulous clothes, that you just know will make you look great, is not enough motivation alone, to continuously be in the right mind set to lose weight.
  • There is something I’m still not getting. I’m determined to find that something.
  • I’ve rediscovered my hip bones.
  • I’m rediscovering my cheek bones.
  • I can convince myself I’ve lost weight or gained weight, whichever I desire.
  • Getting out of bed is easier when you have several pants to choose from, as apposed to the few left that fit.
  • Eating too little actually doesn’t help. I know, I didn’t believe this one either.
  • Photos I liked of myself a few years ago, I now think are atrocious.
  • I can’t bring myself to use the new “question” feature on tumblr… it makes me nervous no one would answer my question.
  • I enjoy saying, “True Story.” True Story.
  • Yes, I want to be skinny/healthy, but I will never be *that* person that doesn’t eat cake on my birthday, or split a desert with a bunch of friends
  • You can always start over. Always.
  • “I’ll start eating right on Monday, or tomorrow” should never be said. It’s now.
  • My weight can literally fluctuate 5 pounds a day.
  • My mom is happier than I am when I lose weight. She means well.
  • There is more to me than my weight.  A lot more. I am still realizing this.
  • The life I want I can have.
  • I may, or may not be addicted to tumblr.  I tried not to post for ‘24 hours,’ and I couldn’t… facebook who?
  • Thinking about summer and being warm makes me happy.
  • I’m not the only one with weight issues. Shocking, I know.
  • Losing weight and saving money go hand in hand. (I’ve saved $360 since Feb 2, 09 on lunches alone)
  • I really, really like lists.

Despite my inner fears of being vulnerable to the world, I feel the need to write simply because I’m in a such a pathetic mood. I got slapped in the face last night with the fact that, ‘Fuck! I still don’t have the thought process right about eating healthy.’  As I weigh myself every Wednesday morning, every Wednesday night I think, “well… if I were to eat something I shouldn’t… now would be the time to do it, as I have a whole week until the next weigh in.”  I know… it’s a really flawed thinking process. Last night? I ate a wonderful healthy dinner and then neandertal-ed into the kitchen (more than I’d like to admit) and poked my little fingers around until I found some high-cal, fat-enhancing food.  I was full and still ate. I then proceeded to watch The Biggest Loser while stewing in self pity.  Today hasn’t been much better; I still have a huge desire to eat crap.  I’ve already eaten more fruit than I should have. Bollocks!! In other news, condo = brilliant, I may just vary from my daily routine and post photos of the place when I’m all moved in. Oh, and the photo above? means nothing, I just like collar bones.  Makes me feel skinny.

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.

It’s that time of week again. Don’t act like you’re not excited.  GPOMAW AND Weigh-In-Wednesday is upon us. Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than this*GPOMAW features some solid back-fat as can be viewed above, and Weigh-In-Wednesday demonstrates some sexy poundage loss (1.0 pounds, which brings the burden on my chair, at this very moment, to 166.5). I’m actually quite disappointed with this past week as I really wanted to see 165. I blame these. But, such is life. This coming up week is going to be a rough one as I know omigod-new-condo-celebratory-drinks will entail as will wahoo-I’m-living-downtown-10minutes-from-work meals out. *actually, yes… yes it does.

Zoom skinnyminnie: I’m not a big “re-blogger” simply because I like things neat and organized (can you tell from all my borders?) and I think re-blogging looks messy, but I thought this deserved a ‘re-blog.’  How did I not know about this!? How? It’s more than perfect for me! What a great idea! I think I’m on week 6, which is a little scary as my 5k is Sunday the 26th.. Eeekkkk.

As anyone who has stepped on a scale with their eyes shut knows, there is no secret to losing weight. You can buy all the books, DVDs or supplements you want, but I will tell you the secret for free; eat less, move more. True Story. It’s quite amazing how I realize the above, but my chubby fingers keep moving towards the cookies/carbs/ice-cream even though, omigod I want to get to my goal weight SO BADLY. Please see Exhibit A (above).  I discovered this gem while cleaning my room this past weekend.  It’s a box filled with my weight loss history. Special highlights include my daily weight for all of 1998 (age 13), as well as some weight watchers stuff (2 rounds), random exercise books I ordered online and some ‘before’ photos from 2004.  I couldn’t bring myself to toss out the box (although it’s quite useless) as I’m hoping to one day go reminisce and chuckle over my tubby days… from a hot new bod-ay (obviously).
