gaining momentum

saturday afternoon

12:25pm

after seeing the colossal weight gain on my scale the morning before, i dieted furiously and worked out for the last two days.

i finally have my pre-menstrual body back!

well, not completely but i feel normal again[and only 1 pound heavier than usual, no biggie].

...


i'm determined to remain on track throughout this weekend and beyond.  these next 2 days will be the first of many hurdles before my bikini filled trip.

got. to. stay. on. track.

state of denial

friday morning

current state: crazed.

in 2 weeks, i'm due for a relaxing albeit adventurously daring vacation in costa rica and i am eons away from being bikini bod ready for my 6 day trip under the costa rican sun.

must defy everything tasty beginning today.

aunt flo has blown me all out of wack and having me reach for the the insanely salty and sugary sweet snacks which i haven't been able to put down and it has directly attributed to my current bloated state.

ah.

so annoyed.

days of zero results shown on the scale has forced me to happily resume my no carb diet.  once again, carbs are out and sugar is in.

dreams do turn into reality, eventually.

wednesday night

9:49pm

as a tribute to those inspiring individuals who not only set seemingly unattainable goals yet surpasses every obstacle given with flying colors, i have decided to begin my arduously lengthy self-training for the 2011 bay to breakers.

i started today.

i lasted no more than 20 minutes, jogging steadily upwards on van ness feeling as though my tiny lungs would burst inevitably with every step.

it's a start, albeit, a infinitesimal one but haven't you heard the story about the tortoise?

"slow and steady, wins the race"




delicious mistakes are often meant to be made

if mistakes are often meant to be made, then the biggest mistake would be completely eliminating refined sugars and reintroducing "carbs" back into this holy temple.

current weight: 114.1


although i may be utterly despondent due to my newly risen weight, my weekends and gratified tummy says otherwise.

wouldn't it be nice

*singing along to the 60's beach boys version*

wouldn't it be nice if i was skinny
then i wouldn't have to diet all day
wouldn't it be nice if i had some money
then i could tan at the beach and lay

life would be so much more simpler if everything came easily
but if everything was easy, then it wouldn't be worth it.

current weight: 112.8 lbs

i'm guessing the 45 minutes of abs + strenous leg work performed last night is no match with cardio when trying to lose. back to running i go!
