Small update

[morganskye]

I'm back on Nutrisystem...kind of. Essentially I know that I'll never be able to follow it hardcore and correctly. I have low will power. The more I fight the sooner I'll give in. So, in order to at least attempt to lose weight I've decided to go by a 2/1 method. For every two meals I follow the plan exactly, I get one 'free' meal where I can eat what I want within reason. I've already lost two pounds since Friday on this plan. Sure I won't lose as quickly, but I won't turn into a crabby bitch because I'm not eating carbs. I also, for the most part, dislike the food on NS. Yesterday I had cheese tortellini, which I ADORE, but I had to force myself to finish it because it was nasty. Ass nasty. For dinner we had the real stuff. I put olive oil and Parmesan cheese instead of spaghetti sauce. Very yummy. ^_^

Right now I'm around 293. I gained a bit back, but 3lbs up versus 27lbs down? I'm still calling it a win.

Did you know that for every 1 pound lost, you take 4 pounds of pressure off your knees?

I <3 Shark Week! I like it when they do a show on what's been found in sharks' stomachs. Creepy! They'll eat anything!

Thanks. ^_^ I have a loooong way to go, but it's all about getting there the right way. It's a shame we don't live closer. We could be workout buddies. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll come out on top!

I meant the other Shark Week, the female (jesus, that wasn't even close the female x.x) shark week XD

I could desperately use a workout buddy :(

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I don't do anything then. Mine would have been right at D*C, so small favor there. Ugh.

Why is it so hard to find one? When I was at the gym religiously I couldn't find one to save my life. You'd think it'd be easy there!

yeah. i think that's why i'm not all moody now, because i know if it's here now, it won't be at D*C :D this is assuming i don't have one of my "omg! must bleed NOW!" moments XDDD

I have no idea. I do have a walking buddy, but it'd be SO much easier if I had a work out buddy :/

I wish the doctors could so something for you that didn't cost a damn fortune.

Well, that's something at least. I have to do everything solo.

[dusktodawn.livejournal.com]

me too >>;

true, it's nice having a buddy to distract you so you're not always going "OMG IS IT OVER YET??!?!"

[morganskye.livejournal.com]

lol, seriously. I only make it through with my mp3 player. If I didn't have that I'd maybe only finish 1/3 of my workout.
