My Alarm worked but my computer didn't.. Weigh-In Update

Soo I have my blog alarm... that's all fine it reminded me after my WW meeting. I get on my computer, wifi signal "up and working" but the internet says its not connected...this happens often now that this computer is almost 5 years old. One of my friends who has the same exact computer got hers at the same exact day as I did is having computer problems. She actually ended up needed to purchase a new one because the parts for our model computer is "ancient" in computer land apparently. I finally restarted my computer this morning, once again and I'm not getting an error message!

My lunch at work yesterday. A turkey wrap with a piece of swiss and less than a tsp of  thousand island. Also some string cheese and an Orange.

Weigh-In (Saturday)

This week=270.8 (-1.6 lbs this week!)

Last week= 272.4.2 

Start Weight= 320

Total loss= 49.2 <-- almost 50  

This past week was hard, What helped most was tracking my food. I guess that's why they emphasize tracking! I'm still using an app on my phone to track with my friend.

The other day I was at the Dr.s for an annual check-up. I am starting a pill that "may increase weigh" ummm..... perfect? Ugh. I'm trying to not even thing about it, because it "MAY"not effect my weight at all. I almost wish they hadn't even said anything.

I sat/jumped/ (i don't know what I did) on my bed last night and I felt this weird kind of cramping pain in my side where I landed..now my leg upper side of my leg hurts when I walk. :/ I'm thinking it will "work itself out", at least that's what my dad told me.

I was at a friends house and found all these amazing plants..

My planner came in a while ago, but since it was pre-ordered and it  starts in August... I have some time to wait before I start using it.

We went toa neighborhood just outside the beach to watch the fireworks this  year, it was wonderful. My family is almost impossible to get out without an argument...so it was a miracle to get them out to see fireworks. Success!

Hope everyone has a good week-

Weigh In Update(s)

AHH!
Aside from not blogging D:
I've been very productive the past few weeks.
I'm working on my portfolio for a specific job... I'll be applied by the end of this month!

{Nov,24th } LAST WEEK= -1.4 lbs 

Current Weight= 276.6 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 43.4 lbs

________________________________.___.___._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________THIS WEEKS WEIGH IN!___________________

This Week = -1.8 lbs 

Current Weight= 274 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 45.2 lbs

Still working back to where I was a few weeks ago, but I've lost the past few weeks. I'm changing my foods currently. Making better choices.

I just had some dental work done the other day, so now I need to eat some softer foods for a bit. It actually ended up working well with the new foods I've chosen to start eating anyways.

I'm trying to work on getting more ...

.fiber

.potassium

and just in general .less processed foods

I recently rearannged everything in my room to make more space for a desk to work on. I had been moving all my things into the living room each time I wanted to do work...and sometimes it just messed up the "workin' groove". Especially when I wanted to work on my art. So now that I don;t have to create a portable office everyday I want to work, I should have more time to get everything I want done. It may not sound like much, but it was a hassel.

While I was moving all my stuff around, I had misplaced my camera charger...I need to upload pictures! :} I'll be making it my mission to find that charger tonight! Along with tuning in for some Walking Dead & Dexter :} 

Hope everyones weekend was great

Goodnight

Weigh-In & NSV :)

What's with all the late updating Wallflower?!

I don't know!!!!

I went to Weight Watchers this past Saturday, but havn't updated here yet!

Here's where we are at!

This Week = -1.6 lbs

Current Weight= 276 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 44 lbs

I feel like I'm on a Teeter Totter.. up and down these few pounds. I actually recall having this same problem last year at this exact weight. I couldn't quite get to that 50lb. mark! 
I'm thinking that some changesneed to be made. I've been working out on the same machines...and I think it's just having less of an effect. I do up my resistance on themachines... but it doesn't seem to be enough.
I'm going to have to some thinking about what extra I can do. MY BIKE is fixed, it just needed some air in the tired. I havn't taken a ride in a while.

MY NSV- Non-scale victory!

It's been time for a new pair of pants for a while now.... I caught a look at how my jeans were looking in a store mirror. I was not impressed, my bum was all saggy and it just wasn't flattering anymore.

Those were size 24! I have moved down previously from size 28 (my largest :(...) to my now 22 size jeans.

I've taken into concidertion that every brand has different measurments! So confusing! Just let 22 be a 22 and so on....

This was nice, I'm thinking of buying a few of this pair. Usually after wearing jeans/ pants for a bit..they get loose till the next time you put them in the drier...

Maybe that's just me, but these don;t do that at all. I could wear them all day nd they feel just as fitted as they did when i first put them on in the morning. It's nice to have soemthing that fits well.

Just thought I'd share that NSV!

Good Afternoon!

Early Weigh-In Update :]

All packed ready the trip to Orlando for HHN22!!!

This Weeks WW Weigh-In

This Week = -2 lbs

Current Weight= 274 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 45 lbs

earned another 5 lb star!!

I'll be going back to my usual Saturday morning weigh-ins after this.
Yay! A loss :] Phew.. 2 lbs lost (totally unexpected).

I was feeling the need for chocolate this week... and maybe I kinda bought myself a bag of chocolate chips. Yeah, I did that, the bad part was that it went into my room! Not the kitchen.. my room. So, after realizing I was not able to controllllll myself with this bag of chocolate I decide it's better for me to throw them out! They were melted down the drain. Probably not the way you are supposed to get rid of chocolate, or anything for that matter, but that's how it goes :/

Of Course, I'd prefer being able to control myself with what I eat... but I went about this all wrong. Next time I want some chocolate I'll make sure it's individual...and not some family sized bazooka bag.

ANYWAYS!

Hope everyone has a great week/end

I'll be back Sunday or Monday :]

Goodnight

We had a full moon last night, kinda brought back some memories with my grandma. She and I used to watch the moon together and or apart, it started when I was in sleep way camp one summer. I wrote her a letter telling her how much I had missed her. My grandma responded by telling me that even if we weren't in the same place, we'de still be looking up at the same beautiful moon.

Screencap from the movie Moonstruck, I love this movie ( in case  it wasn't mentioned a few hundred times)

WHOA! Just cough another glimpse of the moon tonight...the moon was a striking orange-yellow color  AND HUGEE, love it. :}

In the meantime... we already getting ready for a nice relaxing labor day {weekend}.  This weekend we'll be grilling, I'm pretty sure it will be just my parents and maybe my brother and his girlfriend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

22nd WW Weigh In & Cute Floral Nails!

Current weight: 275.2
Total Loss: -44.8
Starting weight: 320
I'm a little sick of being stuck at 275 to 273... those numbers are really starting to get to me a bit... 
Ahh... I think I need to change it up a bit..food and exercise wise! Instead of this discouraging me, I'll let this motivate me to get past these numbers! I want to hit my -50 lbs lost.... it's so close & there is more after that! :) It's exciting.


Last night I had some trouble sleeping - since I had some time and had already removed some worn nail polish from a while back. I was inspired by my roommates lovely nails and decided to paint my own!
I also got inspiration, from a few weeks ago, I saw some floral designs painted on nails - here are mine now!

 Roses at my fingertips!

I wasn't sure they were working till the last touch of green. After the green was added it pulled together :)

I'm very happy with them!

While I was painting my nails I was also watching a movie in my Netflix Queue "Lost in Austen" the title threw me off at first but then read the description "After a dispute with her boyfriend, Amanda lands in the 19th-century world of author Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. While helping the Bennet sisters find husbands, Amanda accidentally causes problems that could alter the course of the tale. Throughout this British series, Amanda must balance her feelings for Mr. Darcy (Elliot Cowan) with her responsibility to the one of the world's greatest love stories. " Truth is I started watching it with my roommate hours before & she couldn't get past the beginning ( it  started off too slow for her taste :P ) I still wanted to watch it later & I was happy I did! This movie was so cute & very funny at times.

Okay! I bought a skateboard... it was only $4.00

The purchase was justified in my mind like so

" WHOA! I don't know how to skateboard.. but I could learn..."

" A new activity...? sounds good to me"

" It's just a small dose of nostalgia! "

:)

The wheels even say "Rocket Power"!

Well.... now I have a kids skateboard!

It's 12:34 AM right now & someone is hammering away at something outside... I really feel like yelling at them. Maybe it's just headphone time... ( my window isn't opening so I can't yell at anyone) - I probably wouldn't be able to yell at anyone anyways, was never good at shouting

Goodnight!

 MAKING OF LEMON CHICKEN

Goodnight!

7th Weigh In!

1.4 :] Small but proud.It all adds up!

This week I'm -1.4 lbs !
Starting weight: 320 lbs
Current: 294 lbs
Lost: 27lbs
Tonight's meeting was a lot about how most people ,with or without weight issues, think about food. I know for me,  when I'm visiting family in New Jersey WE MEET FOR FOOD. "Let's meet for lunch".. Once we were metting so many people in one day we had one breakfast out,TWO lunches out, AND finally... a DINER..wow.

Haha well that's just an example & it's only happened once! haha- I can't justify that day.The point being, food is a social event & there are other things / activities /non activities we could be doing. Just as long as you aren't sitting there thinking about..."what could I be eating right now?"
For me, I love to draw & haven't been drawing as much as I'd like to be *at ALL*. I hate to admit it but throughout this whole summer I've probably picked up a pen/pencil to draw about 3 times.


Tonight was Project Runaway the start of season 9! I seriously can't wait till next weeks episode :]

Who doesn't love Tim?

Oh! Tomorrow is a beach day!!! should be really great & I'm probably going to stay over a friends for a few days.

Goodnight!
