Well... after two weeks, I decided to show my face around here again. I think we all know I'm going to say something about being very, very busy... but in all honesty, I don't want to say that anymore. I have been neglecting my blog in a way that if it was a child, I would most certainly be in custody because this kid would be running around town at all hours of the night, probably defacing public property, and would definitely be without health care.
What the hell am I talking about? Good god finals have fried whatever was left of a brain. On to other things...
Today is wwwweeeiigggghhh
ddaaaayyy. It seems I missed last week. So I'll recap.
Week Before Last: 186.4
Last Week: 185.6
This Week: 185.0
A loss of... 1.4 pounds!
In two weeks... Umm... Lame much?
Okay, let's talk about calories.
This is going to be a little embarrassing...
Calorie Range: 1,200 -
1,400
Tues, April 10
1,472
Wed, April 11 1,194
Thus, April 12
1,512
Fri, April
13 1,415
Sat,
April 14 2,272
Sun, April 15 1,338
Mon, April 16 1,276
Tues, April 17 1,231
Wed, April 18 2,473
Thus, April 19 1,455
Fri, April 20 1,718
Sat, April 21 1,336
Sun, April 22 1,361
Mon, April 23 1,313
So I guess if I look over the past 14 days, I can kind of see why my loss is so little... But not really? I only had 3 days where I flew past my calorie range and 4 where I just kinda tip-toed over it. It still averages to 1,528. That's higher than I expected. That's why I didn't lose much. My average was not in my calorie range. In fact it's 125 over my max. Huh.
In those days, I also worked out a little... let's see...
Tues, April 17 we walked 4.5 miles briskly. This was kind of an accident. We didn't know where we were going. But that burnt around 311 calories
Wed, April 18 we did Day 1 Week 1 of the C5K Program... That burnt around 235 calories
Yep, I suck. That isn't much at all... We are going to be sticking with the C5K program though. I liked it. We just got busy and I started having some hip pain, so that didn't really inpire me to go running much either.
Okay...
1. Eat within my calorie range 6 out of the 7 days this week.
2. Get out and run/walk at least 3 times.
Those are my goals.
Here's to hard work and determination,

Day 98 - In the Words of Professor Farnsworth... Good news, everyone!
Been a week since I've come around.
I think a weekly update might be all I can muster from now until my schedule becomes a little less chaotic. But, couldn't miss wwwweeeiigggghhh ddaaaayyy.
Last Week: 189.2
This Week: 186.4
A loss of... 2.8 pounds!
Woo! *does chair dance*
Okay, let's talk about calories.
Calorie Range: 1,200 - 1,400
Tues, April 3 1,351
Wed, April 4 2,000+ - Easter Candy. Off day. Grilled out. Whatever?
Thus, April 5 1,291
Fri, April 6 1,235
Sat, April 7 1,431
Sun, April 8 1,352
Mon, April 9 1,362
I sort of feel like I've pretty well gotten into a 1,300 calorie/day groove. I almost naturally eat that many calories anymore with almost no thinking about it. I do occasionally go over and I also occasionally have to have a snack at night, to make sure I'm not eating too few calories. And this week was LITTERED with Easter Candy (in moderation). So I'm very proud of my daily totals and my loss.
I also feel very officially in the 180's. I'll be happier when I'm 185 or lower. But pretty happy right now.
Bf and I have gone running once. It was last Tuesday. It was a very exciting and humbling experience. It was more of a "Let's run... okay no, let's walk... NO WAIT we're here to run! Omg I'm dying I need to walk." I haven't ran in a looooong time. As it turns out, I'm very out of shape. But. I plan to change all that, obviously.
We aren't running today, so I've decided to make it my goal to elliptical today and tomorrow. For probably 20 minutes or so. Thursday I'm hoping we can maybe get a run in. But definitely this weekend. The primary reason we aren't today is because bf is extremely sunburnt. I don't know how he managed to get sunburnt when it's only around 70 degrees outside... but he did. And his arms and face definitely need a little break from the sun.
I am also wearing a pair of jeans today that 4 months ago barely buttoned. Going up and down the stairs here at school is a pain because they slip down my obviously smaller hips and kinda hang around my buttcrack region. Thankfully I'm wearing a longer sweater or this would be a sad sight for the people climbing the stairs behind me. So success and failure at the same time, I suppose! haha I refused to buy new clothes until closer to goal. Or when I literally can't wear my jeans anymore. But even then I might buy belts. haha
I have to give a 20 minute presentation in like 4 hours. I haven't really even done a practice run. So that's what I'm going to go do now. A practice run. I was somehow selected "randomly" (read: my prof doesn't like me at all) to present first. So I have no idea if what I'm doing is really what she wants. The only positive thing I can think is... at least I'm not going after someone who happens to be really awesome. I'm just not planning on setting the bar too terribly high. I hate public speaking. I hate it with a firey passion. And it doesn't help that the prof and I have a pretty strong mutual dislike for one another.
Sigh...
Okay! Everyone have amazing days.

Day 91 - I'm Sucking At This Recently.
I have no new excuses to explain my absenteeism. I'm so busy. I want to be finished with this semester so much it's actually kinda painful. But I keep pushing on. And one of the unfortunate side effects to me NOT deciding to quit school and join the circus is that my blog suffers.
Today is weeeeiiggghhh day. Which is honestly, the only reason I'm taking the time to write at the moment. I just don't want to fall behind.
Last Week: 189.2
This Week: 189.2
A big, fat maintain.
Oh well. It's better than gaining. Besides an absolutely attrotious begining of the week, and some early Easter Candy sprinkled in there periodically, my eating habits have been on the normal - high side. Eating at the tippy top of my calorie range, if not occasionally over. And no exercise. Let's be honest. That requires time. HAH!
Calorie Range: 1,200 - 1,400
Tues, Mar 27 2,096 - Mom and sisters visit! Umm this is the best guess at my calories?
Wed, Mar 28 1,800 - Still a little mom and sisters visit damage...
Thus, Mar 29 1,352
Fri, Mar 30 1,363
Sat, Mar 31 1,318
Sun, April 1 1,489
Mon, April 2 1,590
You can see why I maintained this week, I'd say... Sheesh
This week will be better, minus one day where I told bf we could go out to eat and enjoy Easter Candy without me complaining about how fat it is going to make me.
I'm still very much on track to hit my goal by October-ish. And I'm still ever vigilante in regard to my calorie counting.
Also, as an exciting bit of news... We finally bought official running shoes yesterday. I found a nice pair of Sketcher's. I didn't break the bank or anything... but I really like them. Check 'em:
They're really lightweight and comfortable. They seem like they'll be really breathable too. Pretty cute, I think. And they'll definitely serve their purpose. So today after classes, despite all the crap I have to accomplish in the next 9 days... We are going to start the Couch to 5K progam. Yaaay!
I want this weight to just melt off. And I think if I have lost 30-ish pounds just watching what I eat, if I can continue to eat similarly AND start running... it's bound to just drop off me. We will see!
That's all the time I have right now... I've got a big Stats exam in a couple hours and it's about that time I start cramming things into my brain last minute. FUN!

Day 86 - Back On Track
Well... The past two days went exactly as I expected them to go. I had an amazing time with my mom and little sisters. We ate pizza and ice cream and watched a scary movie the first night they were here. Then yesterday we walked around the zoo for probably 3 hours and took a million pictures. Then we ate hamburgers. Then they left. It was an all around awesome visit. Then for some reason after they left... I had more ice cream and skipped dinner. I guess I was stuck in "eat whatever" mode. Two "off days" in a row, while completely worth it, can't really be happening a lot. So... no more off days for at least a week. Maybe two.
Needless to say, I'm not expecting to see much loss this week. Which is okay, I guess. I don't FEEL as bad as I expected myself to. I feel normal. But surely two whole days of crap food and no water will wreck some kind of havoc on my body. And I'm betting it'll reer it's ugly head on weigh day. We will see, I guess!
I can't help but think... This far in I thought I'd have everything under control. Completely figured out... Ya know? 86 days since I began this journey. I've lost 30 pounds. By now, I shouldn't be having 2 off days in a row. I just want this weight loss to be permenant. I want this to be a lifestyle change. But I guess enjoying a couple days with your family is a part of your life. And maybe, since I know what I did wrong and I'm back at it now, I'm making alright decisions.
Blaah... Guilt.
I have 4 more weeks of classes. Which sounds like forever. But... I'm only going to class twice a week, which means I actually only have 8 classes left. THAT sounds amazing. And terrorfying too... since I have so much to do and so little time to accomplish it.
I am really excited about this summer though. We are planning a few little getaways and I am thrilled to be getting out for a few weeks. I need the break. And a little adventure.
But thinking and daydreaming about summer isn't going to make it come any faster... And I still have loads to accomplish before then. So I'm going to wrap this up, work on studying, and maybe find myself some lunch.

Day 84 - Eventful.
I was trying to think of an alternate word for busy. I say busy a lot. I thought eventful might also be an accurate way to describe my day. Occupied, perhaps. Maybe unavailable?! Hectic and engaged are also good ones. Okay... I'm done.
Sooo. Today is wweeeeiigggghhh daaaay! And a good one, at that. I'm very excited to be posting this...
My bones were incorrect last night, when they were telling me I'm a fat cow and have stopped losing weight. I know, it isn't nice to call yourself names. That was just the sort of overall feeling I had last night. Anyway!
Last Week: 192.6
This Week: 189.2
A loss of... 3.4 pounds (ounds)...(unds)...(nds)...
That was an echo for those of you unsure about what just happened. (:
Very happy to be below the 190's... even if it's only a little below. It still counts in my eyes.
I feel like I should really have been working on cardio and maybe some weight training this whole time... My results, while noticable and super exciting, aren't what I thought they would be after a 30 pound loss. I'm wondering if I would be looking different [tight?] [tone?] [not so flabby?] if I had been exercising the whole time. And the obvious answer is yes, E, that's a really dumb question. OF COURSE you would.
Calories for the week: (Again, more for my record retention than anyone else's benefit. But if anyone is curious about foods I consume day-to-day or how I determined my calorie range, please feel free to inquire!)
Calorie Range: 1,200 - 1,400
Tues, Mar 20 1,708 (Went out to eat... No nutritional information. This is a guesstamation.)
Wed, Mar 21 1,151- unconsiously making up for the previous day?
Thus, Mar 22 1,135 - oops.
Fri, Mar 23 1,057 - oops again.
Sat, Mar 24 1,382
Sun, Mar 25 1,431
Mon, Mar 26 1,327
I promise, despite what it looks like, I'm not starving. I don't do a lot of snacking. And my schedule makes big lunches/dinner difficult. Blah.
Today I'm counting everything up until dinner. And then I'll start with my approximations. I really want a Frozen Hot Chocolate from Dairy Queen tonight. My sisters will want ice cream when they visit and I'm more than willing to oblige. I'll work on searching for nutritional information and getting an accurate calorie estimation made and plan a little for tonight... TO THE INTERNETS!
Alright... back to work. Everyone have wonderful days. Someday... in the near future... I'd like to add a little more content to my blogs. I'm just not sure where I wanna go with it just yet. So until then...

Day 83 - I Feel Like I'm Starting Brand New
It's been SO LONG!!!
Hello wonderful people,
I'm very excited to be posting on my brand new Blogger blog. Word Press can kiss my grits.
Well, that's not nice... It was nice while it lasted. I just can't tolerate websites that don't maintain a certain level of upkeep.
Anyway... Hopefully I will find lots of new diet buddies around these parts. I can say though, I am SUPER excited Diet Riot and Dysfunctional Barbie are here too! Super. Excited. (:
Without going through and monotonously updating about the last 6 days of my life... I'll summarize.
I have been very, very busy. I finally finished running experiments for my research course. I'm done with data collection and officially writing up my results. Which are all bad and disappointing... But I won't chat about those boring details either.
I have been eating within my calorie range. Everyday but one in the past week. A few days below my calorie range, unfortunately. For some reason I can feel it in my bones... I'm just not going to lose anything tomorrow. I just don't FEEL it. Usually I feel lighter, or slimmer... Nothing. I feel exactly the same and maybe even a little bloated. All I wanna do is eat.
That leads me to my next point... TOM is right around the corner. We're talking... Within the next 2-3 days. I wanna blame my fat feelings on that. But who knows... Maybe it's officially time to stop talking about exercising and just actually start exercising on a regular basis.
My water intake has been unusually low recently too. I haven't substituted anything bad in its place... I just haven't wanted it. ): That'll change when it gets warmer and I start really kicking my ass with the exercising.
I guess the past week has been more about living and getting by then focusing a lot on health. While I was eating very mindfully and all that jazz... I just haven't been as involved as I normally am.
Tomorrow my mom and sisters are coming to visit me! We are going to have a fun pizza and ice cream sleep over. And then Wednesday morning we are going to the zoo. I'm really, nerdily excited. I haven't seen them in what seems like forever. And if the night they are here I toss my healthy lifestyle in the toilet for some pizza and ice cream, well I don't see much wrong with that.
Well that's it for now... Sorry that seemed short. I'll be posting again late tomorrow morning, for my weekly weigh in. And more chitter-chatter, no doubt.
I'm also planning on sticking around the 3FatChicks forums. I still love the forums and the awesome people that hang around there.

Day 77 - I Did A Number On Myself
Helllooo lovelies!
I am sorry again for my absence. This blog has really lost my interest since it decided to be all broken...
I do feel an obligation to post on wweeeiiggghhh daaaay, however.
For anyone curious about my title, I'll get to that soon.
So... the results!
Last Week: 194.0
This Week: 192.6
A loss of 1.4 pounds.
Now... the way I look at this today: A loss is a loss is a loss. Whether it's half a pound, one pound, or four pounds. So I'm a happy camper. I weigh less than I did last week, and the week before that and the month before that. And isn't that the ultimate goal, anyway?
A rough estimation of my calories for the week were:
Tues, Mar 13 1,361
Wed, Mar 14 1,237
Thus, Mar 15 1,283
Fri, Mar 16 1,171
Sat, Mar 17 ????
Sun, Mar 18 ???? (<700... I'll explain!)
Mon, Mar 19 1,396
Anyone who skimmed those is probably thinking... What the heck, E? What's your problem? What happened Saturday and Sunday?
WELL! The answer to that is... Saint Patrick's Day happened. I went out, innocently enough, for a few drinks. Fully intending on keeping myself in check. However, I ended up going out with someone turning 21, and all their free shots also became free shots for me as well. I don't know why, but I decided in a drunken stupor no doubt, never to decline free shots from a man in green suspenders and a glittery green hat. So I didn't. And that's what happened Saturday.
Then... early Sunday morning consisted mostly of me swearing off alcohol forever, crying, and being violently ill. This, my friends, was not my finest hour. I didn't eat on Sunday until around 7pm, which was coincidentally also the first time I left my bed that day. I'm not exaggerating when I say I drank entirely too much. In fact, it's possible that's an understatement. I'm still feeling the ill effects... which really just tells me I'm getting old.
My small loss is probably a combination of me eating below my calories this week, and then throwing up anything I might have eaten over my calories on Saturday. I'd say my weight loss is slowing because I haven't fully incorporated exercise into my life. Which is something I must do. And soon.
Besides all that, the jeans I'm wearing are making me upset. I know, no one wants to read about someone complaining about clothes not fitting because they're now too big... For some reason, I'm losing weight unproportionally, so my jeans are too loose in my butt, legs, and hips... but still okay in the waist. So I'm walking around all saggy looking. Boo.
That's all for me today! Going to see if there have been any improvments to the commenting situation. My expectations are low...
Here's to hard work and determination!

I am sorry again for my absence. This blog has really lost my interest since it decided to be all broken...
I do feel an obligation to post on wweeeiiggghhh daaaay, however.
For anyone curious about my title, I'll get to that soon.
So... the results!
Last Week: 194.0
This Week: 192.6
A loss of 1.4 pounds.
Now... the way I look at this today: A loss is a loss is a loss. Whether it's half a pound, one pound, or four pounds. So I'm a happy camper. I weigh less than I did last week, and the week before that and the month before that. And isn't that the ultimate goal, anyway?
A rough estimation of my calories for the week were:
Tues, Mar 13 1,361
Wed, Mar 14 1,237
Thus, Mar 15 1,283
Fri, Mar 16 1,171
Sat, Mar 17 ????
Sun, Mar 18 ???? (<700... I'll explain!)
Mon, Mar 19 1,396
Anyone who skimmed those is probably thinking... What the heck, E? What's your problem? What happened Saturday and Sunday?
WELL! The answer to that is... Saint Patrick's Day happened. I went out, innocently enough, for a few drinks. Fully intending on keeping myself in check. However, I ended up going out with someone turning 21, and all their free shots also became free shots for me as well. I don't know why, but I decided in a drunken stupor no doubt, never to decline free shots from a man in green suspenders and a glittery green hat. So I didn't. And that's what happened Saturday.
