Sometimes those little slip-ups are exactly what we need to renew our motivation! Think of it this way...you said it served as a glimpse of how things used to be, so USE that as your reminder of where you came from and how far you've come - and espe…

i enjoyed this post, because as exciting as it is to *need* the new clothes, it can definitely be a nuisance! i personally wore a lot of my clothes until i was practically swimming in them, then went out and bought only a few staples (a couple of pa…

good luck with all your goals! hope you get your thesis done soon - that will be a huge relief and I bet it will be easier to tackle some of your other goals with that out of the way.

go you! I like how you're keeping yourself in check with your goals. Have fun in Europe!

So many goals, so little time!!! I've had to start setting mini-goals in many aspects of my life because there just seems to be TOO much to get done before I jet off in September...ahh! So here's a brief rundown: WW goal: set this at 135lbs even t…

Congrats on breaking through your plateau! I wouldn't worry too much about Europe. I went for 12 days several years ago and we were walking a lot and sometimes only eating 2 meals a day (only breakfast and dinner were free so some people skipped lun…

Congrats on the loss- and on eating until filled- a serious accomplishment! Have fun in Europe. Stay away from gelato every day! (My downfall in Spain-we had it almost every day).

So many goals, so little time!!!

I've had to start setting mini-goals in many aspects of my life because there just seems to be TOO much to get done before I jet off in September...ahh!
So here's a brief rundown:

WW goal: set this at 135lbs even though my own goal is 10lbs below that...I wanted to be done with maintenance and a lifer before leaving for Europe! So far so good as I'm into week 2 of maintenance :-)
Status: In progress

Thesis goal: needs to be finished and defended by the end of… Continue

plugging along!

Soooo I think I might finally be edging my way out of plateau-ville! People aren't kidding when they say the last 10-15lbs are tough! It's looking like it's going to be a while yet to goal!

Anyhow I haven't updated in a little while, but one of the last times I wrote in, I mentioned maintaining a 'week one' mentality in hopes of tricking myself into making smart choices. That worked out well, but you can only trick yourself so much :-) Anyhow I ended up dropping a little to 136.0 that week. I t… Continue

mirror, mirror

The human mind is incredible thing...capable of so much, and yet so easily fooled!

I was watching this show the other day where this mentalist wanders around Toronto and plays random mind games with people. In one, he set up a mirror on the sidewalk, so that when you sat in front of it, the road would be behind you. He then asked people to go and sit in front of the mirror and look at themselves (primp etc..) as they typically would. There was a truck parked on the side of the road, directly be… Continue

update and an idea

I'm going to have to apologize again for my MIA-ness lately...thesis-writing has consumed my life! The paper should be done in the next week or so though (aside from revisions)...woohoo!

I didn't update last week, but I had gone down 2.0 (after ranting about plateauing, haha...thanks for everyone's encouragement after that, btw!), and was down only 0.2 this week...so I'm sitting at 136.8lbs. Still not down to pre-vacation weight, but hey, down is down (if only the up had never happened!). Sooo… Continue

plateau! arrrrggghhh!

This is almost getting funny! Another week at 139...I'm frustrated to say the least. This means I officially haven't lost any weight in two months...unbelievable! I'm supremely annoyed with myself. Although I know my body fat has been going down and I've dropped another clothing size in that time, it's hard to see the scale telling me that I'm at the same place I was in April. I've lost and gained the same 2 and a bit pounds in that time, but I just couldn't break past that.

I don't think I had… Continue

How are you? I know that I've been gone for a while but now I'm ready to come back & get back on track. What have you been up to?

Thanks for your comment you are so right. Thank god I opened my eyes & became conscious of what I was doing. I will use this as a learning experience, I'm already regaining motivation & ready to move forward! I appreciate your support!

I didn't go with Contiki. I went in high school with a group called... Explorica I think. They do school-aged group tours. Anyway, I went to Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. I absolutely loved each place... the Alps were incredible so hopefully you're heading through there at some point. Where are you headed?
btw let me know how things go with Contiki. My friends and I are looking at taking a trip to Europe a couple summers from now and my boyfriend and I may look into a short trip to England at the end of next summer so I'd love to hear whether it's a good tour group.

Hey! Things are pretty good with me.. it's been hectic now that I'm working (and it's only part-time but I feel like I'm never home anymore). I'm trying to get back into the exercise groove since I slacked off on that for a while, but thankfully didn't gain. I'm trying to remind myself that I can't make a habit of that!

I leave Tuesday yeah! I cant wait..Ive been cleaning and packing all day and getting ready. Sounds like you have a fun trip planned. Youve got to do those things now before you get married and have kids. What a once in a lifetime moment. ( to go alone) I lived in Spain for two years in highschool and I want to go back. I also traveled all over Europe and want to go take my husband. Maybe when my kids are older..we will all go together. I love traveling! Its one of my favorite things! Have a great week!

You have inspired me to take a swimsuit photo while Im in Hawaii...why not right? We work so dang hard...we should celebrate it! I may not be in a bikini but I will take one and post it!

I can't wait to hear how your vacation went, & I'm wondering if you decided to bring the tracker? I'll be looking for a post when you get back!
