wow...christmas miricle I guess

So, after a week of not-too-careful eating, I weighed in today expecting the worst. Surprisingly I was down 1.8 lbs. Basically, I"m awesome. I'm going to give credit to working long hours on my feet in the mall. Surely that must have led to some serious aps that I never added in. Still, it's awesome to know that I am awesome enough to lose weight over christmas. But best of all, my bmi is now in the healthy range...Fantastic

Week 14 WI: 148.4 lbs
weight loss to date: 23.4 lbs

time for a recap

ok, so I kindof missed a post in there where I would normally have one. first of all, thanks so much to those who reminded me that slow and steady is the way to go. This is definitely one of those things that is is so true and yet so easy to forget.

ok Christmas....soooo hard. I definitely did not stay op for this holiday, but do you know what, I'm just going to accept that and move on. I have not slipped up at all for the almost 3 months that i have been on weight watchers, so I think that a nice festive christmas complete with turkey, stuffing and chocolate is ok. I know that I will probably suffer on the scale, but in the grand sceme of things, that is ok as long as this doesn't become a weekly habit. Of course, after I wi tomorrow i might be singing a different tune -- on of regret -- but for the time being i"m just going to acknowledge that I wasn't a particularly good girl and don't dwell on it.

Good news though, at my last wi I was down 3.2. This brought my total weight loss to about 21 lbs. It's weird because I don't really feel that much skinnier, but honestly, I must be because 21 lbs is a heck of a lot. Acutally I am noticing that i am getting quite a bit smaller. For one my jeans are looking some what ridiculous what with being all baggy in the ass and gathered around the waist. I think that I'm going to look for a cute but cheapish pair of jeans just so I have something that I feel cute in since currently I feel rather dickons- esq (but fortunately small) in what i have now. Also, the other day while shaving my legs, I could swear that I felt a calf muscle: that's definitely new. Even tonight when i was passing something to a friend I thought my arm looked somewhat defined. of course, that could have just been lighting, but it's all starting to feel good.


finally, GREATEST NEWS OF ALL...ok, some of you might remember that I recently wrote the lsats. well, I finally recieved my results, and I scored a 164. This doesn't really sound like anything, but it's actually a really good mark and put me in the 90th percentile of test writers. so I"m feeling pretty freakin awesome becuase of that. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason that i was down so much last week was because I was essentally walking on air out of happiness over my lsats.

but all for now

Sarah

this is taking a long time

so I weighed in today. I was down 0.8. I know I should be happy that I'm down, but I'm getting frustrated that this is taking so long. I really thought the 150s would be a breeze, but looks like I was wrong. In the past month I've only lost 3 lbs. Hopefully after the holiday's it will start to pick up.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

so for what ever reason I feel the need to comment on the recent tabloid attention paid to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s apparent chunkiness. I guess since I did name my blog after a song written in her honour, I do have some kind of a tie to her. Also, she seems relatively awesome: the type of girl I could see splitting an appy platter with while our dates watch college football. Anyways, I would link it if I know how, but I do not. But I will simply take it as prolegomena that everyone has seen the cover of the latest People’s issue or has at least heard that Jen has been taking some flack over some beach pictures that recently surfaced. I guess in these pics she looked not quite as skinny as she should and blogosphere is having a great day making fun of her over them: calling her Jennifer Loves Hotdogs or something equally clever. But the truth is – isn’t it always – that she does not look fat. Rather, she looks like a normal Western society girl, one who would lose in a game of teeter totter to 98% of the population (myself included). So, of course I could take this post and turn it into a massive rant about how skewed our sense of body image is, but I will not, because I know that topic is sure to come up some time soon. Instead I think that I too will join in on the Jenny ridiculing.

Now of course I’m not going to make fun of her for being ‘fat’ (since she’s not), rather for her poor choice in swimwear. Honestly, she looks like the little before picture that Marie Claire would use for its top heavy section of its “how to find a swimsuit for your body type” issue. All that is missing is that little black rectangle over her eyes to hide her identity. Surely every girl with a chest knows that you can’t wear a strapless suit that is completely unsupportive. I even know this and I am a wishful B cup. The only type of girl who should be wearing that style of bathing suit is one who is still in the eigth grade, and who is a relatively slow developer on top of that. Seriously, if I was in fact an appy sharing friend of miss J.Lo Hew, I would take one look at her in that suit and give her a disapproving “JEEEENNNNNN” and wave my finger in a ‘you know better than this” manner in front of her chest. Then I would quickly rush her off to the nearest Swimco and help her pick out a nice supportive halter style top while she would help convince me once and for all that I can’t wear yellow without looking like a plague victim. Then we would probably go to the nearest bar for vodka slimes while we feign playing pool, but really just using it as an opportunity to seductivly stick out our asses in a room full of men. but anyways. She shouldn’t wear such an unflattering suit. But she is not fat. ok.

Ten Percent!!!

Yes my friends, I did finally achieve that 10% that I've been so wanting to reach. I"m not going to lie, it did take me a week or two longer than I would have liked but I am there and that is what counts

unrelatedly, final biggest loser this week. I am quite excited. I have to admit that i have become quite a sucker for this show. Since I missed the first few weeks, I was on the website today in order to see some of the things that I missed. It was interesting and now I"m really looking forward for Tuesdays final. As much as I would like to see a woman take the title, I do have to say that my money is on bill.


Anyways, Stats for this week.
Week 10 Weigh in: 154.2
Total weight loss: 17.6

DONE!!!

yeah. I wrote the LSATs today and it was tough but I am done. all that stress is gone! hopefully the pounds will be gone too!!!!

effffffff a gain

ugh...I gained 0.6 lbs this wi. horible. this coupled with my shitastic 0.2 loss last week, and I really doing a bad job. I don't get it, I stayed op and worked out. So basically right now I just feel like i'm wasting my money and time and I have no desire to post my stats or change that horse counter thing at the bottom of the screen.

6.3 lbs to normal

So I just realized that as per my bmi, I only have 6.3 lbs that I need to lose in order to be considered 'normal' as far as my weight goes. can't wait! My new goal is to reach that by Christmas.

Of course, I"m not entirely convinced that this is the best way to determine a healthy weight. Given my extreme pear shape i tend to go for the waist to hip ratio as a better determinate simply because that would put me in a healthy range. To be honest, I know that I am healthy: I work out a lot and I work out quite hard. I can do more push ups than any of my friends (who are like size 2-6) and I can run longer than most. Still, hitting a healthy bmi mark would be fantastic!

ok, so next goal is 10% (I think I have 1.4 lbs to go) and then healthy bmi!

best of luck to everyone else as well
Sarah

shoot - bad WI

Weighed into day. Not a good one so I really don't want to talk about it much. I really had hoped that I would hit 10%, but I didn't even come close. I only lost 0.2 lbs today which is my worst WI to date. I went out with friends last night and ate like an absolute pig. This is really discouraging because it makes me wonder how I will be able to be successful in weighed loss and still have a social life. Ugh, I can't imagine next week being any better because I'm writting the LSATs this week and I always gain weighed when I'm stressed out and I am extremely stressed out about this

Week 9 weigh in: 156.2 lbs
Weight loss to date: 15.6 lbs


best luck to all this week
Sarah

take that black pants!

So, i have this pair of black pants that (I hate to say it) kindof deterimines how I feel about my weight: if they fit, I"m happy; if they don't, I'm sad. anyways, when I started ww these pants did not come up over my thights. Needlesstosay that made me feel pretty gross. Well I tried these one last night and THEY FIT. yup, they did. True I did have some pretty bad muffin top but who cares about that right now because I actually was able to do them up and that's what counts. So I will formally like to offer a big eff you to my black pants because they can no longer make me feel bad about myself because they now fit. now I can just treat them as I would any other pair of pants: by wearing them.

WI today

so I weighed in today (a day early because I have to work during my normal meeting tomorrow). It was definitely a good one, down 2.6 lbs!!!!

Weigh in Week 8: 156.4 lbs
total lose thus far: 15.4 lbs
amount to go to get to 10%: 1.6 lbs

I'm really getting close to 10% so I'm getting pretty excited to hit that number

ok 7 points I do miss you a little

for some reason not being allowed these 7 points is harder on me that I anticipated. When I went down from 24 to 23 it wasn't hard at all, but dropping down to 22 is turning out to be kindof tough. I only have about 8 flex points left for the rest of the week which I'm saving for going out with friends tomorrow. Still, I like that I am going down so I'm trying to focus on that while I fill up on vegges. Best of luck to all you other losers (meant in a positive of course) this week
take care
Sarah

I will not miss you 7 points

WI today. It was definitely a gooder. I was down 2.2 lbs today which puts me at a grand total of 159 lbs. This means that I am in the new decade meaning I have one less point per day. Ok, the title is a slight lie: it will be tougher without that one point per day, but overall, I do have to say that I'm glad their gone!

stats

Week 7 Weight In: 159 lbs
Loss to date: 12.8 lbs

From the look of it, I'm well on my way to my 10%. I only have 4.2 more lbs to go!

Great Idea by Me

Today I came up with this fantastic idea: for every pound I lose I am going to put aside 5 dollars that I will use to spend on clothes when I reach goal weight. This will be absolutely awesome, becuase I will be able to use that to buy like super expensive jeans that are super hot or like an adorable dress that would flatter me to the extreme. And this will be money that I will spend 100% guilt free. It will be awesome. Hopefully this will also motivate me to lose my weight in order to be able to buy my new awesome clothes

on a completely unconnected note, it sucks that I weigh in on saturday. I only have two flex points left for the rest of the week and I have plans to go out with friends tomorrow. My idea is that I'll work my ass off at the gym in order to gain a ton of aps and I will be conscious of eating a low point breakfast and lunch in order to be able to really enjoy my time with my friends.

hey! I got tagged!

So, Lauren - by new friend in blogosphere - recently tagged me. and so this is what I have to do...

The Rules:1-Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2-Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3-Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4- Let them know they are TAGGED by leaving a comment on their blog

1. Lauren, I added you to my fav sites, now everyone who visits me can directly link to you
2.
- I absolutely love baseball. I am a huge bluejays fan and it's been a long 15 years for me since their last playoff apperance.
- One of the things I'm known for around my school circles is my philosophy on the other. yes, this sounds odd, but it really is something people seem to associate me with.
- Every now and then I go through periods of being addicted to exercize. Fortunately, now is one of those times
- Most of my favourite shows are no longer on air: Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks and the UK Office
- One of my pet peeves is Canadians using American spelling.
- I have a slight obsession with used bookstores
- I refuse to wear pants that have no bootleg - pretty sure this is because I have massive thighs and I like to think that bootlegs even out these thighs

3. Ok, I can't really tag anyone yet because I'm not that familiar with anyone else's blogs yet, but I will work up to my seven
to start with, I tag victoria.

feeling discouraged

I know that ww recomends a 0.2-2 lb lose per week. This is something that I certainly know, but have a very hard time ingraining my head. For instance the other week I was only down 1 lb - a perfectly respectable lose - but I felt all grumpy afterwards because I was super hoping that I would make it into the 150s. Last night I watched the Biggest Loser and was just getting so depressed about my own weight lose. After all, these people are putting up double digits in one week, something that has taken me 6 weeks to do. Oh well, I suppose I just have to keep reminding myself about that 0.2-2 lbs per week and stay on the wagon.

Sarah

ps, Lauren, I got your comment and I would love to check out your blog: what's the url?

My Platonic Ramblings on Weight-loss

So, interesting fact about me: I minored in philosophy in university.
For whatever reason, people devoted to this field to have this tendency to filter everything through the historical lineage of philosophy (it would have been even worse if I had been a major, rather than a minor). Anyways, starting from the beginning, with the father of western philosophy, I hereby give you some of my delightful - at least I like to think so - insights into the world of weight loss through the eyes of one of my favs: Plato.

Anyways, something quite pertinent to platonic philosophy is Plato's concept of the four essential virtues. For Plato, these virtues were prudence, fortitude, moderation, and - once all three had culminated - justice (the final virtue) could exist. Now, if one thinks about it, these virtues can also be applied to the realm of weight loss and good heath.

First of all, Prudence.
Pretty self explanatory, one does need to be able to think wisely about what foods are best. One also needs to understand the way in which their body works in order to know how to best feed it for weight loss. Basically, if we just eat without thinking, we don't gain weight (unless of course we suck - at least in my opinion), being healthy is all about making the right choices; choices that will only be made if the correct knowledge is in place, enabling one to separate the good choices from the bad.

next, Fortitude
Losing weight of course takes courage. Every week, walking into that meeting and stepping on that scale is a feet of bravery. Learning how to deal with peer presure and saying no to people handing you food is also something rather couragous. Finally, having fortitude to stick with something, no matter how difficult, is extremely essential to losing weight. Clearly, courage is necessary.

Moderation
Oh moderation. This is the virtue that one cannot say enough about about regarding lossing weight. We all know how big a factor moderation plays: learning how to control portion size, eating one chip instead of 20, looking our younger brother's bag of halloween treats straight one and only stealing our very favouritest mini chocolate bar. And to be quite honest, this is what I love most about WW: moderation is allowed to reign supreme. Instead of being cut off entirely from one food group, being forced to depend solely on another (Atkins…) we have the luxury to select whatever from wherever, just so long as moderation dictates what, and how much, we choose. Personally, I would not last a minute if I had to give up lattes, but fortunately I don’t. Rather, instead of going with a grande white chocolate mocha with whip, a tall non fat vanilla latte suffices. As long as moderation is there, deprivation is alluded.

Finally, my friends, we reach Justice.
Sadly, this is where Plato gets it wrong regarding weight loss. I’m pretty sure we can all relate. We’ve all had those weeks where we feel we’ve done everything right – fully incorporating prudence, fortitude, and moderation – only to be mocked by the scale come weigh in time. Worst still, we all have those friends who can eat whatever they so please and still be too small to shop at the Gap. So, sadly, it appears that justice doesn’t always hold up in this example that I have attempted to establish. However, this doesn’t mean we need to be down. After all, often the correlation exists. Often, a perfect week will result in the perfect result. So I suppose that is just what we have to keep in mind: not those bad, frustrating weeks, but the good ones, wherein justice does seem to come in to play.

So, just remember: always let the head rule the belly through the chest. Use wisdom and courage to practice moderation, and hopefully the scale will demonstrate justice. (and ps, on those weeks when prudence, fortitude and moderation go out the window, well let’s just count on mercy)


Sarah

sorry for the length, but let no one say I didn’t warn in advance.

wi update

So, I had another WI today. Not quite as awesome as I was hoping for, but at least I was down

Week Six Weigh-in: 161.2 pounds
Total Weight Loss: 10.6 Pounds.

I'm not going to lie, I was really gunning to be in the 150 range. But thankfully I did acheive my first 10 pounds, and I will still be able to eat that extra 7 points per week that I would have loss if I had fallen to the 150's.

oh well, not going to get discouraged. I'm just going to take this as motivation and keep on staying on plan and doing my best.

heros and zeros in Celebrity-land

Ok, I like liststhis is a list of my heros as far as weight goes from those people we all know - the celbrities (I might have spelt that wrong; my spelling is just pure aweful)

1. Kate Winslet
This is so obvious I don't really even need to mention her. She's just stunning in that type of average-but-unattainable body. The fact that I love her as well doesn't hurt either. Along with this entry, comes an honourable mention: Emma Thomson, just because she reportedly told kate that if she (kate) ever gained weight, she (emma) would never effing talk to her (kate) again.

2. Kelly Clarkson.
Ok, confession: I absolutely love kelly clarkson. Seriously, behind these hazel eyes...fantastic. Also, the since u've been gone video is just sweet. This is, I do have to add, a pretty intense confession for me to make, because my fanstaistic taste in music is something that I do pride myself for: but even so, I do love Kelly's brand of pop rock feminism. Anyway, to the weight thing, her body is so adorable. Honestly, as a fellow pear shaped girl, kelly is the model that i one day hope to achieve. Of course all those morons who criticize her and call her large have no place in my heart. I think Kelly looks great...now if she could only learn to dress her body type....

3. Lilly Allen
I know, kind of an unorthodox choice. True, she's garnished some negative headlines for her alcohol-related choices, but I'm not going to lie, I would gladly use up 8-10 flex points in order to hang with lilly for the evening, drinking wine and then trying on some of her fabulous sundresses since I"m sure she'd be more than happy to give me several of the ones which better suit my bust line. Plus, she's confessed to being frustrated with her weight (which I'm sure we've all head), but she often looks fantastic even thought she isn't a negitive dress size.

4. Shakira
In the strictest, most hetorosexual way posible, I have to say this: Shakira's body is fierce. If I take my dream one step further, I would love to have a body like hers. However, i know that this vison for myself probably surpasses reality. The reason that she does make it on this list is because she rocks the pear shape and rocks it with pride. Her hips certainly don't like and she she makes the rest of us small breasted girls proud of what we don't necessarily have, so that maybe one day I too will be able to boast that luckily my breasts are small and humble (so you don't confuse them for mountains)

5. Jennifer Hudson and America Ferrara
I put these two together because, while I know that necessarily belong on a list like this, I don't particularly find a lot of inspiration from them. Probably because they are both chestily endowed while I am not. Still, they represent the curves, which is awesome

Zeros...now for something a little less awesome....

5. Amy Whinhouse
eat something

4. Kiera Knightly
Ok, I respect that Kiera is open with her insecurities and I do sympathis with her as far as wanting some more up top goes, but seriously, you're Kiera freakin Knigtly, it can't all be that bad.

3. Nicole Richie
yeah, too easy

2. Liz Hurley,
Even if she cures breast cancer I don't think I could ever forget her comment about how she would kill herself if she was ever as fat as marilyn monroe. Pretty sure if I looked like marilyn monroe I would walk around naked 90% of the time

1. Jessica Simpson
Ok, she's only at the top because the other day I read a comment by her about how she was so offended that someone thought she weighed 145 pounds, as if this was the biggest insult that could be thrown her way. Then she went on about how at her height (5'4'') this was simply an unhealthy weight (it's not). That just really annoyed me.

Partying!

Ok, so I love a good party. Really, mingling and hanging out is pretty much one of my favourite things to do. The only unfortunate thing is that I really can't control my eating at these things. I just nibble for the sake of nibbling - which is stupid. Last night, I went to a friend's birthday party, and even though I thought I was being really careful, I totally did aweful and ended up having to use 17 flex points. Worst. Definitely this is something I need to work on because I would love to be able to go to these things without messing up my ww diet.

WI - Score!

so my WI today was pretty fantastic. I was down another 3 lbs, putting my total to date at 9.6. I know that sounds super impressive, but I do need to temper it somewhat. I know that my body's natural state is at around 150-155. This is why it's not really surprising me that I'm losing so quickly - I basically expected the lbs to melt off until I hit that zone. After that is when the real test is going to occur because that will be new for my body. Still, I'm super happy with how it's been going so far! I just hope the lbs keep coming off and that I'll be able to stick with these, even if it does start to get harder.

Stats as they now stand
Week 5 Weigh In: 162.2
Pounds Lost to Date: 9.6
Pounds to go to Reach 10% Goal: 7.5

To everyone else who wi today and lost: congratulations! to those who didn't lose: stick with it, you're doing yourself a favour by being healthy. To those who didn't wi today, good luck when your time comes,

Sarah.

getting psyched before WI

Now, surely I am not alone in this odd behaviour, but for everyone else's I kindof hope I am. You see, I have this tendency to get horribly psyched up before wi. I wake up with a similar apprehension I would have before writing a tough final, with that overwhelming sense of butterflies in the stomach. Obsessively, I'll go over everything I ate the night before, cringing at some of the poorer choices we all tend to make on a Friday. Standing in line to be weighed is the worst. I attend a Saturday morning wi that is fairly busy (I think it is at least - I guess 35-40 people show up, sounds busy-ish to me). Usually by the time I get there, there is a sizable line. The 5-10 minutes I wait in line are just brutal. I find myself trying to think skinny thoughts, doing minor exercises in line hoping they might make a 0.1 difference, trying to force myself to sweat out that superfluous starbucks from the previous night. It all gets me quite worked up.

It’s funny though, because obviously I know that WI does not always reflect the work you did that week. I mean, I saw the most recent biggest loser; I know that water retention can be the culprit for anywhere from 1 to 17 extra pounds. But still, I just want so bad that scale to make me feel like I’m doing this right. I really just want to be able to take an extra paper clip (what we are given for each pound we lose) and share what I like about WW with the rest of the class (which we do upon significant weight lost gains (is that an oxymoron (sorry for the parentheses within parentheses))). I know that I should hold on to goals like the fact that my once tight jeans are losing up or the fact that I can know run an extra a few extra songs before needing a walk break. I know these things. But nevertheless, the scale is still what dictates my state of mind regarding my relation to this program.

So, long story short. I WI in 45 minutes, best of luck to me and to anyone else who shares a Saturday morning WI – and to everyone else for that matter as well.

A few more things before bed

Ok, so partially this is just to pad my blog numbers...but I realized that I need to say a few words about where my blog name came from.

Not going to lie, it has a slightly lame origin. Some may remember, but I'm sure most have forgot, but some time ago there was a boy band called LFO. Probably best known for their hit 'summer girls,' they also had another song called 'Girl on TV." In this should be classic, there was a line which went, 'the girl in the green dress, she took my breath away.' And yes, my friends, that is where this name comes from. You see, in my teenage foolishness, I had a slight celebrity crush on the secondary singer (his name might have been jeff), and so I always fancied myself as that girl in the green dress. Now while I'm fairly positive that, in fact, it was Jennifer Love Hewit in the video, I always imagined that I could at least be a girl in a green dress, who could take a breath away. And so, this is what I would like this journey to culminate, that perfect green dress (as an autumned coloured girl I do have to admit I look good in green). Hopefully, one day I will look perfect in that perfect green dress (which I don't actually own yet) and also hopefully one day I will master technology (an inability that does have a tendency to go hand in glove with my field of study) and be able to post that elusive picture of myself and that dress.

so curtousy of the Light Funky Ones,

good night

Sarah

Welcome friends

Welcome to my blog. First and foremost, I plan that this space is one that I will use to chronicle my – hopeful – weight loss. It’s secondary purpose, I suppose, will be a space to house my ramblings, but you don’t have to read those. Let’s see, a little bit about me: I am a recent university graduate in the area of study of political studies and philosophy. Personally, I see myself as fitting the description of humanities student to a tee. This will most blatantly be obvious in my love of long sentence – for these, I apologize in advance. Also, I have a tendency to talk about nothing. I’m sorry, but after writing 20+ page papers for the last four years of my life, the art of bullshit is a now a part of my nature.

Enough about that though: this is supposed to by my weight lose journal, not ‘learn about Sarah.” So, weight loss. I think my story is pretty standard. Since pre-puberty, I have been concerned about my weight. Currently I am at about my largest weight (which is around 170). At 5’5’’, this is not a great weight for my height. Last year I was at my smallest weight (about 145) thanks to insane amounts of exercise; unfortunately, stress of school and a frustrating breakup quickly changed this. Feeling the need to do something about this, I joined weight watchers about a month ago.

Here are my stats:
Week 1 Weigh In: 171.8 lbs
Week 2 Weigh In: 170.0 lbs
Week 3 Weigh In: 165.2 lbs
Total Weight Loss: 6.6 lbs

So nothing too impressive, but nothing to fret at. I really am hoping WW is going to work for me. My goal for this thing to eventually (hopefully by summer time – bikini season) reach a weight of 139.3 lbs (10% of my 10%) goal). I really hope people will help me by reading this blog and writing me uplifting/helpful comments – To those people I will be eternally grateful. Thanks for reading!

Sarah
