Yup, its turkey day~ (Not for me, I HATE turkey. More like...Chicken day. :) ).
I hope people don't think about calories and such on a day you should be thankful to just be breathing. Enjoy your food, enjoy your life. You can always worry tomorrow. <3
Love & Peace

Long Time No See. <3
Well, it's been a LONG time since my last post, and even longer since Freshmen Anna. :( I'm busy, she's busy...Being an animation student isn't as fun as it sounds. ...Well, it is, but it's a lot of work. Lots of drawing and redrawing, and editing and stuff. Not a lot of time to type, barely time to work out. Anyway, enough about that.
Here's the update.
I just got into the 250's, so I'm now at 259, making my pounds lost to date 90. It was a big relief, since I was shifting between 266 & 264 for the longest time and, no lie, I was ready to call it quits. However, the kind, awesome, lovely people of Calorie Count helped me make sense of it all and realize this wasn't the end of the play, just an intermission. I'm a less than 50% into this journey and still have 96/97 pounds left to lose. But if I can do it once, I can do it again, right? Of course.
Freshmen Anna is dealing with some weight issues herself, at least, from the last time I spoke with her. A lot of ups and downs, but, not being in her direct presence and only chatting online from time to time, it's all on her at this point. :( The last time she logged into CC was Oct. 13th, so I'm not 100% sure what's exactly she's been doing. I wont' share her weight since I believe it's her choice if she wants to expose that. I'm only sharing this because I feel it's important for people to hear more "bump in the road" stories than just the straight, blinding success of TBL (The Biggest Loser) like stories and dropping massive weight in ten minutes.
Speaking TBL, Oh. My. God. I love it so much. I love watching that show. I watch it while i eat ice cream. <3 This is the last week I think. I don't really have a favorite this season, but that hasn't stopped me from watching. Bringing this all up because this Wednesday is a "Where are they now?" episode which I am going to be watching. They rarely talk about who fell back into routine (unless it's a side story or... on Oprah), but I think Bob is going to some houses and going to start helping them take responsiblity for it all.
...Deep down, I just want to see who messed up!
Well, I hope to be into the 240's by the end of this year. That will bring me to a 100 pounds lost and I'll be very much happy. <3 Next year...Well, I'm hoping to get to that 160 finish line or damn near close!
Love & Peace

AHHHHHHH!
Warning: This is nothing by a rant
I go get weighed in this morning and...264...Really...Really!? Last week, I was 266, so this might be a little confusing to some, but the week before that, I was 264. When I went to 266, I tried to tell myself that it was that I was weight lifting, that is was my period, and that it would go away again...It's not leaving. OH. MY. GOD. This new personal trainer is leaving me tired and breathless and I don't even get a pound for it? ONE POUND? THIS IS SO ANNOYING!
They started doing measurements and it is making it SO much worse. They're all over the place (the numbers, no the people) and I'm up one week, down the other, and it's frustrating and a little depressing. No more! I'm going to ask them to just stop it, because I nearly left in tears today. Since Arizona, weight has not been going my way at all. It's NOVEMBER. I just want to hit 100. Is that really too much to ask?
I'll admit something, I may not be eating enough (no, it's not 1200). I eat around 2300, because the nutritionist doesn't see any reason for me to go up, even though this site and the child's site say other wise, but I just feel weird having to show her a close to 2800 calorie intake (My workouts last about an hour, maybe hour and a half).
I just don't want to be obese in Japan. Spring 2011...Ugh. I'm so not motivated (did my workout, but it was torture).
In sadder news, my friend's mother passed away last week, so this just isn't a good time for anyone. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts, I hope you all do the same.
Love & Peace
