Physical, visual motivation & quick update!

I think I'm going to find an object that weighs 1 lb and then stack them in the corner to represent how much weight I've LOST! To be a visual reminder on a daily basis of how freakin' awesome I am! I think it is highly important to love yourself, support yourself, motivate yourself, and be content in your efforts and acheivments. I think it is way too damn easy for people to be TOO hard on themselves and fall into those pitfalls. I'm not doing that, which feels great, but I know what it feels like to be there.
My trip was beyond great! I'm sad to be home actually. I think I left my heart back there in Portia the day I left. I feel really sad and off about it, hard to put it into words. I expect to do a long ass blog in the next few days to try to sort out my feelings about it. So many people want me to move back there. I don't know how I feel.
I have about 250 awesome pics, all of which are up on Facebook under me (Elizabeth Huskey), add me if you like. I will post some on here tonight if I have time. I was 8 days behind on reading blogs. So far tonight I've caught up to just being 6 days behind! Kudos to Amy and Mary on fabulous weight loss and meeting monumental goals!!!!!!!!!!! You both rock, kick ass, and take names! YOu are a major motivation to me and I know so many others! Shout out to you guys!!!
So, yeah I'm doing great band wise.
Water- A little short on how much I need but not eating w/ meals.
food- Doing generally well on food. Ate bad 2 times in Arkansas. One time I had 3-4 pieces of pizza (I literally lost count b/c I wasn't even paying attention or thinking about it) and then once we ate at Cracker Barrel and I just had TOO MUCH! But I didn't drink then either. I offically gained NO WEIGHT while on vacation. I kept chanting to myself I'd lose 5 lbs on vacay, technically I did not. Still 247 when I came home. Excited for WEd WI this week b/c I've been super strict on my eating since I've been home. No booze on this trip, no partying. I actually felt like I did well w/ eating all around b/c more than once I ACTUALLY FORGOT TO EAT A MEAL. Then when I remembered, I'd snack so I did gorge at my next regular meal. Had a good amount of fast food, but ate kid sized portions. OMG, I did have 3 Mt. Dews while I was there. I had the first one while sitting on my bff's back porch hanging out, smoking in the cool late night chill, just for old times sake. I didn't give me any problems, no carbonation issues or stomach aches like 1 sip of Coke will do to me. So I had 2 more on the remainder of the trip. But that will not happen again!!!
School- Offically done w/ my intro class and now onto HEALTH & NUTRITION ( should be super helpful to me in my regular life) and 2 NATURAL SCIENCE CLASSES this semester. Looking forward to it!
That's all for now b/c I figure I'll do another post tonight or tomorrow w/ trip pics!!!
Xoxo,
LIz

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...
