Weighing in while eating Pizza Rolls.

 It's Link-up Wednesday.

 

I can't believe...

...Doug & I still haven't been keeping up with the crunch challenge. The shit's not gonna work if we keep taking 4 to 5 rest days. lol 

...The end of the school year is almost hear.

...I'm actually going to suck it up and miss seeing Steve O this weekend. Shhhh, can you hear that? It's my heart breaking.

...how tired I've been the last couple of days. It's like I can't fully wake up. -_- Gotta fix that.

Last week: 156.7
This week: 158.5
Up: 1.8

I called this. Being sick, having a tooth pulled and not being able to eating for a week will make for some good weight loss. And then your diet returns to normal.
I mean, I'm chowing down on Pizza Rolls at the moment. Yum.
No biggie though.
It's idiotic to beat yourself up about something to the point of worthlessness. Dieting is something I never ever beat myself up about aside from saying, "maybe I should have ate that." But it quickly goes away.
Weightloss is different. Not so much weightloss, but weight gain.
But again, it's not going to matter pouting. It would be different if I was completely obsessed with it.
And I'm not.
If you are, you shouldn't be.
Obsessed can be quite a strong word. Be passionate about a lifestyle change.
Be dedicated.
But don't do it to a fault.
Learn to love yourself now, and then you can love yourself more once you see the changes happening. Not to mention, you'll be extremely proud of yourself. Obviously.

Checking in, linking up.

I am still computerless!
But...I have someone who is going to wipe out my computer
and reinstall my windows & Microsoft crap.
You know, they basic stuff that comes on it.
So, if all goes as it should, I'll be starting "fresh".
If I can squeeze another year out of my dinosaur of a computer
we might just break down and get a new one next year...
assuming we can afford it.
So, here's to hoping that I get it working & it'll be my friend for another year!
In the meantime I have picked The Happiness Project back up (I hadn't read on it for a good week or 2) I think I'm halfway through chapter 5 now. I honestly can't believe how much I love it. It really is a good book, especially for someone who is trying to do all things possible to be as happy as possible- like me.
Anyways, it's Wednesday. So let's just get to my link ups for the day.
Linking up with my girl, Robin, for "I can't believe..."

I can't believe... the weekend came and went that fast. Seriously WAY too fast. :(
I can't believe... I balls-ed up and asked my on again, off again friend to go to a concert with me. Hoping it goes well for us if we go.
I can't believe... hubs and I haven't worked on the basement in a hot minute...like...maybe close to 2 months.
I can't believe... I went to Savannah and didn't come home with a souvenir! And I even looked at a few shirts I actually liked. Poo!
I can't believe... Fall Out Boy FINALLY announced who they were taking on tour with them AND IT'S WHO I WAS HOPING AND PRAYING IT WOULD BE!
I can't believe... I'm behind on my shows...I have too many as it is...so to be behind is nooo good!
I can't believe... Jenelle from TM2 is in trouble...again... for drugs & assault...Actually I kind of can believe it...but is this bitch not pregnant? Or was that a lie? Or did she miscarry? I'm out of the loop I guess, but still, REALLY?!

Weighing in with Erin & Alex.

Time to weigh in I suppose.
I honestly feel like I should be up or the same as I was.
I mean I spent the weekend out of town. Which means eating out the whole time.
My weekend eating consisted of white cheddar popcorn, doritos, gushers, animal crakcers, Chili's chicken club tacos with loaded mashed potatoes & mac & cheese (& a pom margarita!), Wild Wing Café bbq chicken sliders with friiieessss, a blizzard, a slice of Sbarros, mountain dew, cokes,...and barely any water. lol And I don't feel bad about it, at all. SO GOOD!
BUT, we did do lots of walking! So, it's okay.
My eating since I've gotten back home is pretty much normal.
I just haven't exercised or walked since Saturday.
So whatevs, I'll be getting back to trying to find a routine soon. Haha.

Last week: 162
Today: 161.4
Down:  .6

All things considered, I'll take it. Even though it's probably just a daily fluctuation type thing. haha.
Maybe I can find a few exercises I like and start doing them so I can see some actual changes!

Happy Humpday.
Hoping I can get back to blogging as usual soon!

Can you believe... it's time for a weigh-in?

Because I can't.

I can't believe... it's already Wednesday.
I can't believe... tomorrow will be a week since the tornado already.
I can't believe... that the Jason Aldean show has already come and gone. (I'll post about it soon.) PCD definitely kicked in.
I can't believe... that I'll be leaving on a solo trip in a few days...hellurrr anxiety, I don't like you!
I can't believe... that I slept until 10, pushes back everything I wanted to do today.
I can't believe... that I am still having damn issue with my McAfee and am now dealing with it, causes even more time to be wasted.
I can't believe... it's almost noon & I still haven't had breakfast. :-/ Thinking I might just have lunch & forget breakfast today.

I won't be surprised to see little to no change in any progress.
Not going to get anything done by barely exercising. The past week has been crazy between storms, a concert, and my car quitting on me. However, I did get some walking in. That most definitely counts. And I hit up the treadmill last night & am supposed to be walking today.
So,..yeah..
Not too much to say or update on. I still haven't picked back up on MFP.
My problem I have with it is it's so tedious to add every dang ingredient and make a meal out of that & then estimate how much you had...for every. dang. meal. I'll seriously have to spend half a day and sit at the computer & add the meals/snacks I eat most frequently to make it easier.

Last week: 163
Today: 162
Down 1 lb.
I may add measurements & pictures, but not sure if I'll post those on here.

That's all I got for today.
I'm still waking up & frustrated by this stupid computer.

Happy Humpday.

I Can't Believe...I'm about to do a Weigh-In Wednesday

2 link ups in one post today, folks! Linking up with the ever-so-lovely Robin! And then weighing in with Erin & Alex, whom I haven't met, yet!

First...

I can't believe... that I've been waking up semi-early lately. (bet I just jinxed myself by saying that.)
I can't believe... that after waking up early-ish this morning I then got up, ate & went to my mother in laws just to get dolled up a bit just to record a less-that-one-minute video. I almost recorded a vlog too...almost. Too shy.
I can't believe... that I haven't did any laundry this week. And I need something to wear for Saturday!
I can't believe... that I get to go to this concert! It's gonna be one for the books for sure! Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett & Jake Owen AT Sanford Stadium (Home of the GEORGIA BULLDOGS y'all!). I know I sound like a broken record but I don't even care! EEEK!
I can't believe... I've actually been drinking water this week. Not much, but some is better than none, right?!
I can't believe... that I actually am going to do a Weigh-In Wednesday...so..here goes nothin' I guess...

So, this is my first time doing this link up, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. Sounds stupid, but it's totally logical to me (& probably to some of you!).
I have been overweight probably since the end of high school, but I started gaining probably end of freshmen/early sophomore year--so almost 10 years ago). About 2.5 years ago, (Aug '10) I first decided I wanted to get serious about losing weight because I was engaged and about 10 months away from my wedding. So who doesn't want to lose weight? So I joined a gym! Over the course of that 10 months, I only went maybe 4 or 5 times. (the part that's even more sad is I kept the membership up until last summer..July '12 --that's almost 2 years, people--, & I still hadn't used it anymore!) So I finally canceled it. I decided I'd start a health and fitness blog with one of my friends that lives in  Cali. We were both wanting to lose weight for the same reasons; to feel & look good obviously, and to better ourselves because we both wanted to get pregnant. We started that in I think Sept. of 2011. Well, that fell through a little a few months in. Life happens, ya know. Not too long before we started that blog, I had noticed that I had reached my highest weight. Gross. That number on the scale was a driving force behind making the decision to start. I did pretty well. I feel like I eat fairly well anyway. I love fruit and veggies & I don't feel like our dinner are that bad. I was using My Fitness Pal already and I used the blog as kind of a food diary. We had also just got a treadmill & so I was able to use that, but I was going mainly off of a food diary to start with. While I haven't been on that blog is ages, I've teeter tottered with my weight ever since. I had actually lost about 10 lbs. But it crept back a little & plateaued. Well in the past couple of weeks I've noticed it's crept up more and I again hit my same highest weight that I previously mentioned & I refuse to let it go any higher. So...here I am...
Starting over, again...kind of. (Hope you guys understood that, I wanted to condense but still be a little thorough!)
My mindset through this is, and always has been portion, control & not starving/depriving myself of something I want. And that works for me. It's slower, yes, but I'm stubborn & this is my way of doing things. "Everything in moderation."
Anyway.
Weighing in today at: 163
My UGW: is at least 135, I'm 5'2" so my ideal range is 125-135 (if I'm not mistaken).
My reason: I want to feel better. I want to look better. I want to help with my chances of getting pregnant -a current struggle- and having a healthy pregnancy. To be happy!
I'm not setting a weekly target weight right now since I'm still just now getting back into the swing of things (aka incorporating working out) so I'm just gonna see how it goes for the first couple of weeks.
Glad to join this link up!
I have a MyFitnessPal that I haven't started using again, yet, but if you want to be friends just add me & I'll approve! My MFP UN is bnba03.


Hope everyone had a great Humpday!
