Damn You Zumba
There is one Zumba class at my gym every week. Only one. I’ve wanted to try Zumba for a while because of you guys and people I worked with over the summer and it seems right up my alley.
I couldn’t make the first class. I couldn’t make the second class. I was sooooooo excited to go tonight even though it will be the third class and I would be behind…. But then I woke up...

This Week: 250.6
Difference: -2.0
If you guys only knew how close it came to being a gain this week! I ate so badly Thurs and Fri that by Sat I weighed 255.6. Yup. But I worked so hard the past few days and I’m going to keep up that intensity this week. What will next Wed look like if I’m at the top of my game for all seven days?? Let’s find out, shall we?

Tumblr Tuesday
It’s late I know but I have to make sure everyone is following Pete! He is the greatest. He works hard and is making amazing progress and best of all…. he’s absolutely every bit as supportive as his wife.
For a lot of people I’m sure it would be the worst to have yourself compared to your famous and adored wife (smaller-n-smaller), but here’s the thing: he totally...
When I focus on what kind of person I want to be I do really well. I picture this awesome lady who cares for her body and eats well and is a runner and dances wildly and breathes deeply. These are things I can start right away. It makes me really excited. When I focus on what kind of body I want it all falls apart. The numbers on the scale and on my clothing are not things I can change overnight....
In case anyone was wondering
I did make it to the gym. I did c25k, weights, and the recumbent. I might try to move on to week four tomorrow…. we’ll see what my body has to say about that though!

iwillbefitandfab-deactivated201 asked: I just watched a video of you, that sounds creepy but no, and I have to say you are amazing and honestly I can't put it in words.
thefoodchronicles-deactivated20 asked: my immediate response to your blog: HELL YEAH!!!!
LOVED your reaction, my 'I unfollow unhealthy' post was my reaction, I wanted to go stronger, but I thought there were a lot better people out there, like yourself, who could convey my exact thoughts a lot better!
GOOD ON YOU! respect. xxxx

relgetsright asked: Oh man did not expect that! I just watched the video and knew I had to respond. I'd hate for someone to feel so down about something I love about myself so much haha. But really I can't wait until Monday when I can FINALLY get it reshaved. It's gotten so long it's driving me craaaaaaaaaazay.
Refresh
Okay. Starting over.
So I’ve been doing so well for three/four months with a stumble here and there but no reals slumps. I guess it had to happen eventually. And if two days counts as a slump, then it happened this week. BUT TWO DAYS IS ALL I’M GOING TO GIVE UP. Thursday and Friday are done. It is Saturday now, and today I am starting fresh.

Gaaaaah! Yaaaaay! Can I keep this up for the next few weeks? I just want to be under 244 by Oct 25.
ps. So many people liked that heinous photo… really? Thanks?
I am so tired
and I have no idea why. How did I get this busy?
I made pumpkin muffins
They were smaller-n-smaller’s recipe and they were delicious! And I ate three…. with butter. And I am a pound and a half heavier today than I was yesterday. And I need to go to the gym more/at all.
joshflintceschi asked: What foods should i get (or you recommend) when i go grocery shopping tomorrow?
thehealthexperiment asked: Who are the famous ones? lol I LOVED your vlog btw... You remind me of Demi Lovato...You're really gorgeous and I like your teeth a lot!!! haha Is this creepy?

I would like to use today’s number but that would be cheating. On Wed it was 255.4 which is up .2 from the week before. It is because I’m trying to figure out a routine all by myself in an environment where it is easy to fall back into bad old habits. But it gave me renewed resolve so I’m partly grateful it happened. Now off to class!
So Busy
I have questions that I really should have answered by now but they will have to wait for tomorrow… as will the diary style posts I am dying to get back to. But today was really productive so I’m not complaining. And I still managed to keep up with what everyone else is posting. Good night everyone!!
oh my god. i still get all anxious and thrilled when famous tumblrs follow me. I had two big ones this week - ahhhhhhhhhthanks!

Tumblr Tuesday: Take Two
Also, I don’t know how I missed someone reblogging me weeks ago… but I did? Sorry!
So thanks for the advice, I do love walking around campus with this hair now. It feels great.
Anyway, her blog rocks. My definite runner up this week is Arielle! Fo sho.

Tumblr Tuesday
Well, I’m sure everybody is already following smaller-n-smaller, that is a given. So I’m not recommending her for your sakes today but because I want to show my support and how much I believe in her and what she is about.
Yayyy!

fat-chance asked: So, I just saw your vlog. Let me just say: fuck yeah! Not only were you right on the money - your speech was eloquent and well thought out. I love you. Plain and simple.
You know how it is when it’s the first day of school and you run into someone who you had a crush on last year? And you hold the door as they pass you and it takes you a moment to even recognize them because you weren’t expecting it and it’s been so long? But they pass and all of a sudden it hits you, right in the gut. And you wonder if the blank look they gave you was because it took them a...
fewerinches-deactivated20110213 asked: Your vlog made me cry. It has taken me ... my entire fucking life, almost 23 years, to come to terms with the fact that I can be pretty & overweight. I'm finally not trying to lose weight so I can become pretty. I'm losing weight so I can be healthy & still be the pretty person I am. And what lead me to that are "fat acceptance" blogs on Tumblr, of all things.

bethlaurenkingsley-deactivated2 asked: Hey I've been reading your blog and I just want to say I believe in you!
I used to be just overweight (according to my BMI), and I can honestly say I understand how it feels to wake up and just hate looking at yourself. I was grateful when we moved house and I no longer had a full length mirror.
However, after a bad break up, I had a brain snap and just ran everyday for about...

Back from the gym
as promised. And with two NSVs (that means non-scale victories, V&D).
1. Did Week 3 Day 1 of C25K (that means couch to 5K, V&D). I alsmost stopped believing it was possible after failing once at home and once more here on Tues. But miracles can happen and I can run for 3mins!!! Straight!!
2. Finished the week 1 readings for my third year politics class while on the recumbent bike. Now, I...
It is bad news when I don't post on tumblr
I crashed today. After all the madness of the past little while I took the day to myself to do nothing. But instead of doing nothing, I ate. Back to bad habits from last year. Except this was a one day only reminder of what not to do. So I’m off to the gym. And when I come back? Another post to keep in touch with you guys ‘cause you keep me on track!!

So, three of those pounds just came off since yesterday. I am ecstatic!!! I think it is because of the end of my period. I also worked out super hard yesterday and ate pretty well. Woohoo!! What a great start to my day….

so. hard.

I'm terrible ...and a mess.
I wanted to finish catching up before I wrote my own post but I don’t think I’ll have time and I promised I’d be back today…
So much to say!
So I am back. Am trying to catch up with everyone/everything. Am training for my job. It was so hot yesterday I melted. At the social I had two glasses of wine and one shot and went home early because this one guy kept making me so...
