It's almost time. . .

We have reached the point of no return! I start vacation in exactly 1.5 hours. Batman at midnight. Flight leaves tomorrow at 420 pm. Set sail at 11am Saturday!

Weight is unchanged. Hovering around 140, both with pants and completely nekkid. Oh well. I have done the best I can, save more exercise. But diet is the main driver of weight loss, and I have been awesome with that. So fuck the excess fat. I will rock the shit out of my bathing suits. And I will be showing off the nerd tat for the first time (without voluntarily showing people). It's gonna be glorious. CANNOT. WAIT.

Ugh.

I don't even want to post anymore. I was feeling so good about myself and then I had a shitty Sunday, and feel bad now. Not sure why. Weight is the same. Measurements are the same. Surely they will both go down this week and next with no cheating. Maybe it's just the fact that I haven't exercised this week yet. I don't know. Just fucking hate feeling like I'm working so hard for nothing.

Bathing suit time!

Today was the day I decided to try on my bathing suits. It was not a complete failure! I wasn't disgusted with the results, and if Paleo works for me, then I should be looking pretty sexy by cruise time.
My waist and hip measurements had dropped half an inch as of Friday, and my weight is stable. I am feeling quite positive today! Also, I broke down and bought the paleo cookbook, so I am super fired up about the new recipes to try and have renewed motivation!

23days!!!

Getting down to the wire! My randomly conceived plan of paleo is going good so far. And I have done yoga twice this week.
Weight is the same, measurements have gone down slightly.
Insanity starts this weekend! Hopefully I will not die in the process. Am terrified.
Borrowed lots of fun clothes from a friend so I will at least look snazzy on board, no matter what my weight is. Here's hoping I can do what I have been trying to do for 2 years: lose this last 5 goddamn pounds!

And now for something completely different. . .

Okay, not really. But I have been thinking for a while about the Paleo diet; mostly because I miss meat and eggs. So today I looked up the basics, and I can still eat fruit. Plus I get to eat meat. And eggs. So I think I'm gonna try it. Mindy Kaling said in her book that she thinks fad diets are like a fun hobby for lots of women. I couldn't agree more! I love trying new diets in the hopes that one of them will stick. As long as they are diets that allow me to eat as much as I want, I love them. So we will try Paleo, but I think I will still eat beans because they are healthy and because I have pinto beans soaking at home. Homemade re-fried beans, ya'll! They will go great with an egg on top in the morning. Yummmmm.

Weight today: 140-141. The scale looked like it really wanted to tell me I was 140 but it couldn't quite be sure. Exercise will get amped up this week with the Insanity videos. We should get them on Thursday, I'm so scared!

One Friggin' month

In lieu of posting every day until the cruise, I'm only going to post if I have something to share. There's not much to share today other than that we are at the one-month mark. We head to Ft. Lauderdale on July 20, and set sail on the 21st. CANNOT WAIT.

Today: Weight: 141 (n.p.) Pissed there doesn't seem to be any weight falling off of me.
Food: I have been so good. I didn't even cheat at grandma's on Sunday. Dear body, release thine fat!
Exercise: Um. Oh. Right. This could be the problem.

Oh well. If I don't look entirely perfect on the cruise, I can live with the pleasant thought that I will still be one of the best looking bitches on the ship. And I have big boobs. So suck it, skinny girls!

32 Days!

I am so not blogging every day until the cruise. But here's my status right now:
Pissed off. Weight is up a few pounds, energy is down, and eating has continued to be awesome. Son of a bitch! The last 10 pounds is definitely the hardest to lose. My body is clinging to that shit like me on a zipline. For dear life.

Anywho, I joined a weight loss team at work where we have to record our weight and exercise and stuff, so that way more than just Edward will see what I'm doing and I'll be more accountable than to just myself. I'm part of a team now, ya'll!
