Soooo..... mildly related to this thread, and holls use of german above: My sis is currently in Europe, and she was pokin' around Brussels yesterday and sent me a photograph of the NUTELLA WAFFLE that she had for lunch. aaaaaaaholywow. It made me jealous. I TOLD her to eat carbs for her dear old sister, and she is not failing me. She is in Berlin for the rest of the week, and I told her that she better eat so much street bread that I feel it in MY thighs.
That said - WHO'S BACK ON TRACK FOR THE WEEK?! We all know weekends are rough. So who is getting back on the wagon? I am. Im gonna make it to workout all 5 days this week. That is my promise to myself. Also, because I am so destitute, I am only eating what I have at my house, no going out for lunch with my work-besties. Also, I can not afford any new booze for memorial day weekend, so I will be drinking what I have in my fridge and that's IT. ...now that I think about it, I do have a very nice collection of wine... and some of those freezer cocktail packs.... okay, I'll be good. This weekend is pool and base tan for Roo time. I plan on looking like an islander before I hit the Farm. ;D

Both my girlfriend and I are in our mid 20's and, have made major adjustments to our lifestyles about a month or so ago in prep for bonnaroo, as well for a healthier life In general. We both kinda just got comfy and let it slip for too long and it was time for a change. My girlfriend has lost about 13lbs in the past 1.5 months, and I have been smoke free ( and staying true after a few beers) and have gone from 253lbs to 236lbs in the same span. I myself feel like a completely New person with the energy and just over all outlook on life, and all from throwing away the cigs, regular exersize and balanced diet. Soo cliche but so true!
I'll be back on track with you!! In prep for my weekend, I'm planning to have a regular workout tomorrow and Wednesday, take Thursday off, and do about 4 or 5 miles at a slow pace on Friday without any strength training. Then on Saturday morning I'll go for a real run! (I took today off so I could watch the news and plan my commute accordingly due to NATO)
ON-TRACK & IN-FOCUS! (until the caffeine wears off, that is...) Yowza...I abused the holy hell outta my liver last weekend. I justified as "Liver Endurance Training for Brunch."
The calorie count on the 750mL of high-grav Belgian beer (and SHAME on the Inforooster who introduced me to this addictive stuff! Shame, I say! ) isn't bad, but the fruity concoctions we made using 2 bottles of flavored vodka? Let's just say: it looked pretty going down...
Water. Fresh fruits/veggies. Cardio. Weights. Yoga. Bubble baths. This is my weekly routine. Let the purification penance resume!

Woah! that's a good chunk of weight to loose on top of quitting smoking? You totally rock!
PEOPLE! I am in a size smaller jeans today. ;D ;D ;D I'm wearing them to work, so it's legit. Not just prancing around with a muffin top in them celebrating zipping them up at home. They are ON in PUBLIC. It's for real. ;D ;D ;D Last time I was in this size was Summer 2010. HEYOOOO! ;D ;D ;D

Just got caught up on the last page or two. Every single one of you are so motivational!! Both in your stories and your support of others. I FREAKINNN LOVE YOU GUYS!!
I feel like my weight is at an odd place right now that I think I actually look worse naked now than I did ten lbs ago. haha. (I guess it's just the way that I am losing in some places faster than others?) So no one peek in my windows for the next few weeks, K?

Awe, thanks Mayo! I've owned that dress for two years and FINALLY am wearing it. Just didn't feel sexy enough before When Surfbum first posted a pic of me in it, Holls immediately texted me about it

YEAHHHH!!!! That is SOOOO exciting! And so funny that you mention this! We have a campus picnic today (and a half day), so I am wearing jeans. These jeans I bought in 2008ish and they are most definitely significantly too big! I was just debating if I should go jean shopping now or just hold off until fall

Since I don't believe in scales, I base my progress on actual measurements. I last measured exactly 6wks ago; here's the skinny as of this morning:
8.5" gone! ;D
Looks like the last 2wks of doing 60mins/cardio 3x/wk is whittling the hips (-3.5"!) while the free weights + yoga is shrinking the waist (-2.5") and bust (-2.0"). The rest came from neck, calves, and ankles.
This afternoon I'll get a BP/weight check by Nurse Ratchet in my Dr's office. Since I don't care what the # says, I won't be bothered by the result. I just want to rock the LBD for an upcoming wedding. So far, so good!

Mayo, based off your tiny profile picture I always thought you were a sixty year old woman until you posted that new pic. Your good health has knocked thirty years off those bones. 'Tis a miracle.
haaaaaaaaahahahahaha! thanks?? I guess?? LOL, nah, thanks dude. I appreciate the compliment - and 60 - 30 = 30, which is 2 years younger than I am. So I like your math.

Mwahahaha. I love the pic in it's full size form (it's all swirly and weird) but it doesn't translate well to Inforoo. I shall change it! I just changed my FB profile pic yesterday, so I guess I will change it here too!
I feel SOOO young now!! (I will turn 27 in 3 weeks)
EDIT: Photobucket won't let me crop at the moment, so this is the best it's getting for now.

Nice work everyone!!! I'd better get back in here to keep me from blowing it every night. Until the sun goes down, you would suspect that I am a prodigy of Jack LaLanne (God rest his soul). Egg whites, protein shakes, veggies, water water water, chicken breast and the like. Then I blow it.
I've been working out 4 times a week-spinning/elliptical and then an upper body/lower body split heavy weights routine. Well, my metabolism finally kicked in about 2 months too late and I've suddenly lost 4 lbs this week and over the last 3 weeks experienced shrinkage all around (too lazy for measurements, but my pants are falling down). Geezus. Too little too late!! Still going to be a pudgy unicorn for Roo, but much more fit and better endurance. Guess you can't have it all.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
^ Sure, you can have it all...but where would you put it?
Soooo... since time is of the essence & I needed to buy crafty RooTu supplies tonight, I skipped the gym. It's just as well, because my muscles (abs, quads, glutes, and OMFG the inner thighs!) are screaming at me in languages I don't even speak - which is really saying something!
Tonight, I am rewarding my 13lb, 8.5" shrinkage with... a frosty Sam Adams. Just one. (Not because I'm exerting extraordinary willpower, but because I only had 1 left in the fridge!)
BACK TO THE BURN TOMORROW!!! Keep up the excellent work, everyone!
Bimtates and Gabfrab - Love the effort It's from Slackers. My introduction to Jason Schwartzman. He plays "Cool Ethan." Other actors of note: Jason Segel (who doesn't know him now) and Mike Maronna (Big Pete from Pete & Pete). Oh and Devon Sawa (whatevs). Such an great movie, with fantastic lines. There's also a line where Jason Segel says, "I have something to say to you. And I feel... it's important... that I say it out of the cage." Hysterical. I think that line anytime I say out loud, 'I need to talk to you' ("andifellitsimportantthatisayitoutofthecage").
You guys - please talk me down of the ledge. I want a coke. I haven't had a soda in..... ?.... um..... a couple weeks? more? I've got 12 minutes left of work, and I want one. BAD. and I can rationalize the shit out of having one.

I'll be happy to play devil's advocate! I personally think it's ok to splurge sometimes. They make those cute little bity cans of soda now. Maybe just that little can, or a couple of swigs from a bottle instead of drinking a whole one.
I distracted myself for the last 8 minutes by actually working at work. So I made it. Now Im having carbs. Garlic Parmesan Pretzel Crisp carbs. I did count them out though. so... you know. one serving. I got this.

YOU GUYS - today marks the day that I've lost (drumroll please) - TWENTY LBS. ;D
My self-weighin this morning started off rough. I didnt have my glasses on, and my left foot only half stepped on the scale, and then i did a falling dance where I tried to grab the flat wall in front of me, only to almost tumble into the tub as the scale flipped up and hit my right foot that was in mid air.... it was awesome. After I collected myself, put on my glasses, and rubbed the hell out of my scraped up left foot ... I stepped up and BOOM. 20 down.
Then I purposely did a dance.
How is everyone going into their weekends? optomistic? throwing caution to the wind for 3 days? Do what you want, it's holiday? less than 2 weeks to Roo!
