another loss

So, I went to my WI today and had some more great news. Loss of 2.6. must have been all those points that I saved from having a dry new years (suprisingly enough, a totally awesome and super fun new years as well)

so this weeks wi (think it was week 15): 145.8
Total weight loss to date: 26 lbs

I definitely am closing in on the 30 lb mark and that will be sweet.

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!!!!
