alllicat's Journal, 02 March 2010

5 months. That's right, 5 months until my birthday and that's my 60lbs goal mark. I'm barely at 30lbs right now. Well, I caved and weighed in. I couldn't take it anymore. But I'm down a little bit over 2lbs. So that's a step in the right direction. I'm coming into this with a new attitude. No more February funk that's been overtaking me. It's onto March Madness! There is only 8 days until Daylight Savings, so that will improve my mood. As far as I can tell, the snow is over and done with. Soon it will be warm enough for me to go outside and start getting some real walks in.

I'm not going to lie, I love television, with is a huge hinderance because I don't ever want to miss my TV shows, but soon, the television season will be ending and I'll be able to get out and really start my walks earlier, and be able to get more time in because it won't seem like I'm out walking at midnight, which sometimes I actually was (never alone though, I'm not that silly). I also read something that made me very optimistic this week and puts a lot of what I've been doing into perspective. I have no idea where I read it, but I read this little thought, "It's not what you do for ONE meal that dictates your weigh in, but what you do forTWENTY-ONE meals that does." That makes me feel a bit better, because if I decide to splurge ONCE a week, I can't let it make me feel guilty. I'm allowed. I'm working out 5-6 days a week for at least an hour. I think that allows me to eat what I want once a week.

On that note, my friend is taking me to the gym with her tonight. She's been sneaking her brother in for the last month, so she figured she'd try sneaking me in. If it doesn't work, she carries a guest pass with her. So I'll get in no matter what.

I think I'm becoming a bit of a snob, and I don't like it. There is a woman who works with me that is, well, overweight, if using Wii Fit terms, I was obese, so I would have to use the same word to describe her. And every morning, she comes into work, with a McDonald's bag, and she get one of those McSkillet things, I've never had it, but I looked on the website, and it is not good for you. Just doing a quick search on here, it's 15 points on Weight Watchers. I know it's wrong for me to judge, it's her body she can put into it whatever she wants. But we are a two floor office, she takes the elevator up one flight of stairs. I want to yell and shake her and say "If you took the stairs and ate egg whites, reduced fat cheese, tri-colored peppers, and put it in a flat-out it would be so much healthier, and just as good!" It's not my place though, but having to sit across from her and watch her doing this to herself makes me so uncomfortable. It's not easy for everyone to decide that it's time to make a change, but I was kind of hoping that my lifestyle change would influence others. I don't want to be all snotty because I lost weight, that's not me.

Alright I'm done venting and being a snot. Here is my 5!

Ugh people that take the elevator up one floor (especially when they could stand to lose a few!) just kill me! It just seems so lazy and like they have given up on themselves.

Yeah, I sometimes feel like the super annoying ex-smoker friend who suddenly is the expert on how bad smoking is for you. (Not that my best friend ever turned into that person or anything...) I'm reformed so I suddenly expect everyone around me to be reformed too. I like that saying about the 21 meals. So true. Good about the 2 lbs. And I am SO with you about the Feb funk. Be gone.

Good riddance to February!! And I love the 21 day thing. It's so easy to feel bad about the one meal (or dessert, drink, etc) that you allow yourself to have and forget about all good choices you have made. Sounds like you are ready to tackle March with a great attitude!

LOL!!! Alli, I know EXACTLY what you mean about being a "snob". I feel the same way sometimes. When I see an overweight girl I just want to shake her and tell her to do something about it, especially when I see her eating crappy food or working out at the gym with minimum effort. But everyone has to have their own wake up call. That's the only thing that I have to remember to let it go. And you're so right about "It's not what you do for ONE meal that dictates your weigh in, but what you do for TWENTY-ONE meals that does." So don't let it get to you if you have ONE splurge a week. Just try not to let it snowball. I know how easy that can be.

My comment sounds snobby and bad. I know I'm still an overweight girl myself, but what I mean is, I'm not as overweight as I used to be.

love the new attitude, alli. it's definitely gonna work! ok seriously, i think we're all that "snob" at some point! i feel the same way when i see people like that, in fact, one of my friends and i have had this exact conversation! she has a woman at work who's OW and is constantly eating the wrong things...she then complains about healthy problems, and my friend just wants to scream at her to stop eating the wrong things, start exercising, and lose the weight! but sometimes u can't do that...and u feel like a snob cause it's in ur head. no worries! ur not alone! :) lol! oh and i'm with Laura, not as OW, but still OW...lol!
