I am down a pant and a shirt size and have lost 25 lbs since June 24th! Keep it coming!

I want to lose another 5 lbs by the end of the month and another 10 in October and November.

In fact, my goal is to drop 10 lbs a month until I get to around 180-200 lbs (high school weight). I know I can do it, and it really has helped since I cut out allergens ( Read more... )

So, I just started watching Breaking Bad. It is okay. I guess it might be better if I could comment with someone on it, but I watch it after everyone else has gone to bed.

What else? The personal trainer is going well. I have dropped a whole pant size and I definitely have fat ab definition (I am fat, but you can see the ab outline underneath the ( Read more... )

I don't remember if I posted up some new discoveries recently or not.

The first is that I am allergic to egg whites...allergic enough that I have to completely cut them out of my diet. I am also slightly allergic to corn and sesame seeds. So, being that I am trying to lose weight I cut all 3 completely out of my diet.

Speaking of diet, I am on one ( Read more... )

So, last year in September/October/November I did Insanity for a month and a half. During that time I followed the eating guide, did the exercises, and felt amazing! I lost 35 lbs in that month and a half. It was also terrible, though. My joints (especially my wrists) hurt from the push-ups and I had a hard time keeping to the 5 meals a day. Then, ( Read more... )

I remember in middle school and high school being confused. I wasn't looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend when everyone else was. I asked a guy or two out, was immediately rejected, but never felt bad about it (relief actually) because it meant I wouldn't have to do things that others were doing and/or talking about doing. In high school I ( Read more... )

Alrighty everyone,

A month ago I posted up a flier at work stating that if we could raise $1000 in one month I would shave my head bald. The results came in at $1,042.87 and this week we are going to schedule the shaving. My hair will be donated to children with hair loss.

Some people have been asking why I would do this...

Well, the idea first ( Read more... )

Whelp.

I don't remember if I posted here or not, but I finally got the tattoo I have been wanting since I was 13/14 years old. It is a Celtic cross done at Magnum Tattoo by S.K. Buck. It is fantastic and fills me with giddiness every time I look at it in the mirror.

Another thing that I recently fulfilled was my many year desire to own a kayak. The ( Read more... )

Okay. Today (Monday) I started up Insanity again. This time I will go the entire 60 days without stopping.

The last time I did Insanity was back in September or October and stopped after a month and a half (and 35 lbs). I started out at 285 and dropped to 250. I stopped because I hurt (wrists, knees, feet), I was having trouble keeping to the diet ( Read more... )

So, I planted some blueberry bushes in planters and am hoping I will get berries from them next year. I also want to get a strawberry plant for the patio and maybe a tomato plant. Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to get a garden done in the back yard this summer due to 2 more pressing items. The first is that I need a new water softener ( Read more... )

I am finally on 2nd shift permanently since I am out of training as a coordinator at work. Things are getting better since they are slowly giving us jobs and responsibility that are different from the people that trained us. It is making everyone a little less edgy knowing that we will have things to do and are not jeopardizing anyone else's job.
