"156" baby! Oh Yeah!
So, I'm not gonna lie, I was feeling like shit yesterday... I was irritated, I felt fat, I was just all around a dangerous person to be around yesterday... and so I was like "screw this, I don't need to feel this way." So after I got off work 20 minutes late >:( I was like I don't care how tired I am... I'm going to the freakin gym and I'm not coming home till I've done a full 15 mile work out... and let me tell you... you can't imagine how much I struggled through the last 4 miles... I could have stopped at 14 even 13 miles... but I went to the gym with a mission last night and like Hell I wasn't going to complete it.
So I'm proud to announce I did
15 miles on the elliptical last night, burned 1,725 calories, I even did my stomach weights and as if all of that wasn't enough, I kept my calorie count under 500 yesterday... not to starv myself or anything... I mean I really could have gone either way with Dinner, I could have eaten but I knew I'd feel ok if I just went straight to bed after the gym... so I did :)
And so... what do I get for all my efforts? Now I'm not going to record it on here yet but the scale this morning definitely said
"155" on my
HOME scale... yeah... you know the one... the one that always reads 2 pounds higher then the one at Justin's house... it actually read "155" on it... now, what I am recording on here is the loss of yet another pound because I went ahead and weighed myself on the gym scale before I left the gym last night because I hadn't weighed myself on a non-electronic scale in a long time... I wanted to see how accurate my home scale had been being... and the gym scale and my Home scale when I got home from the gym both read a solid
"156" and so my fellow FatSecretians I am an official "156" right now and a very serious 11 pounds away from meeting my goal.
So as if all of that isn't enough great news... I bought these jeans about 2 weeks ago... that are a very very tight size US "13" like tighter then the other "13's" that I have been wearing for about a month now... and so when I bought them, they weren't quite wearable yet... but I had to have them because for one they were only $13 and for two they have my favorite kind of back pockets on them, the kind with a button on them... I think those kinds of back pockets make every ass look Great A! So today is my frist day wearing them since I bought them... I feel like I can sit down and my fat isn't noticably oozing over behind my shirt. I'm so excited about these jeans... I can't wait to show Justin... have I mentioned how amazing he is lately... he is such a great motivator... he's always cheering me on... he makes me feel like losing this weight is possible and gives me praise for all my hard work... he's totally my hero!
Ok ok... so... yes, there's more!!!! I had my third random person notice I've lost weight today... the girl at the coffee shop across the street from my work rings me up for my coffee every morning... so she sees me all the time but has had no idea I've been trying to work out and lose weight... and she noticed today... which is just awesome... it totally makes me feel so much better about long tiring nights like last night when so much greatness comes out of it.
I think I was feeling so good about all of it, that not only did I NOT have another nightmare... I even had a dream about me and Justin driving out to the beach for the weekend... it was such a nice dream and damn if I didn't feel good in a bikini in that dream...
Today is such a different day from yesterday, it really kind of boggles my mind... but I'm stoked it's Friday, I'm stoked to spend time with Justin this weekend, and I'm way uber thrilled to know all of you wonderful people on here. Thanks for everyone being my virtual cheerleaders... I don't think I would have ever made it this far without Justin and you guys...
I really super hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :)
