32 down baby !!!


DOWN 32 LBS BABY! I think 40 will be awesome! I am stoked to be here. Of course I had wished it had happened faster but I'm the one not working out. Plus I think the bonus to it is that it gives your mind time to catch up, keep up, and psychologically get used to all the changes your mind/body are going through!




Yesterday a hot guy in a lil sports car was to the left of me in traffic at a light. I got him looking at me. He smiled and then as his left arrow turned green he almost broke his neck turning back to continue to stare at me as he drove off. I laughed out loud!!!!



I had this pic of me taking a pic of my new tattoo and my face wasn't supposed to be in it so i'm not smiling or anyting, just straight faced. When I saw it I flipped out. My jawline is so prominent and I have NOOOOOOO neck or chin fat! Yay! I was sooooo apalled and surprised!
Feeling this good and confident in myself has made me realize that I might not need to be 160 or 170 lbs to be happy! I think I'm going to set a new goal, like a "see how I feel when I get here" Goal! I'm since I've lost 2 jean sizes in 32 lbs, I'm thinking by the time I get down to 200 I could possibly be a size 14. Wouldn't that be unreal??? I guess I'm just lucky in the way I'm built, how I carry my fat, and the shape of my muscles. So I've just realized lately I don't need to focus on 170 b/c it might not be necessary. But if I got to 195 and felt great, I'd probably strive to get smaller but I wouldn't be consumed w/ such worry and intent. I'd just chill on the way there, you know!
xoxo,
Liz

    First - Congrats on the 32 pounds!!!!

    Second - Make the video relatively short so that it's not too big. Make sure you're in the compose view and click on the video icon. Once you click upload, just let it sit and process. I didn't do anything else on my computer. It took about 10 to 15 minutes. Good Luck!!

    Hey you, I'm in the 230's now and my size is 18 but it is getting baggy. I think by about 220 I will legitimately fit 16's and then around 200 I'd be like you, a 14. So we must have a similar body shape.

    And I feel the same way. The day I had surgery my surgeon said, what's your goal? And I said, to lose weight. And he was like, no, no, your goal weight. According to the BMI you could be 120 lbs, are you aiming for that? And I kind of felt pressured to give the right answer but 120 was freaky so I said 130. But really, I'd be happy to settle anywhere that feels right, including a 14. It would mean I could shop almost anywhere and it's average so I'm okay with that!

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
