42 lbs down & bandiversary!



This morning my hard work showed on the scale bringing me down to 236.2 lbs! Making it a 4.6 lbs loss in 3 days! I guess that's what happens when you follow the liquid diet plan 95% and workout like a crazy person. I'm gonna have to do this workout junk more often, haha! Let's hope I've found what I can stick w/. Another pound and I'll hit a goal of beating my WW lowest in 2006. With WW I got down to 235 and only  maintained it for a week before quitting the program and starting to gain. So I will be excited to get to that goal b/c it symbolizes so much to me, mainly the fact that this is slow and steady and I don't really have to worry about putting all the weight back on. So close to 50 down, omg!

OH AND I JUST REALIZED IT IS MY 6 MTH BANDIVERSARY! SO THAT IS AN AVERAGE OF 7 LBS/MTH AND A WHOLE LOT OF INNER GROWTH! I'M SUPER PROUD OF HOW FAR i'VE COME!!!

IN THE LAST 6 MTHS I HAVE:
GONE DOWN 2 SIZES IN JEANS
DOWN 2 SIZES IN TOPS
DOWN 2 SIZES IN PANTIES
DOWN 3 SIZES IN A BRA
DOWN 2 SIZES IN SPANX
DOWN 1/2 SIZE IN SHOES
GREW 1/2 INCH SOMEWHERE, HAHA!
GOT MY SELF RESPECT BACK
FOUND MY CONFIDENCE AGAIN
BROUGHT SEXY BACK
GOT NEW BANGS
STARTED BACK TO COLLEGE, AGAIN.
QUIT SODA, AGAIN.
LOST LIKE 55 INCHES, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
GOT A NEW TATTOO!
GOT BACK INTO WRITTING AGAIN!!!
xoxo,
Liz

    Thanks for sharing your blog post that the tattoo was shown in, I guess I just forgot! It is a beautiful tattoo!

    My 2nd one in on my left calf & my oldest Daughter is just now (after a year & a half) getting used to seeing it on me & not being embarrassed to be seen with me!! She is ultra religious & in the mind set that you shouldn't disrespect the body that God gave you!!

    I'm already considering a 3rd one (they are addictive aren't they?) even though this 2nd one hurt like hell!!

    But your tattoo is absolutely beautiful!

    See I get the whole "religious" thing w/ tattoos but I am a Christian (not a fan of A religion, per say) but all of mine mean something to me, they are special, important, and none were done on a whim. They took a long time to plan and think about. And my second one is a tattoo on my wrist that says "jesus freak" so after that, some of the relgious people in my family laid off.

    bandita- I don't think I talked about it on here but I had heard that happens when people lose weight, I assume maybe standing up straighter. And losing a half a size in shoes, I don't know how that happens but I've heard of ithappening.

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...
