Sorry it's been a couple days, BUT you all would be proud of me. I've been hitting the gym like the old fiend I used to be.
I'm actually about to go right after I have dinner here in about 10 minutes.
I'm eating pretty good (lots of fruits and veggies) and working our hard enough that it was rough to walk the last few days. lol.
I love it though.
If I get down to the LOW 140s, I think I might eat all natural again just because it's quick and easy and then I could glide right into the 130s, and that's a place I CANNOT wait to be! lol
Anyway...I got a brand new digital camera, so no more waiting on developing film (not that it took me long to do that before, I like my pics ASAP), but I will update my progress with pics as I had in the past.
Okay, I hope everyone is having a good start of the week. I know I am!
Love ya'll!
Ash

Weight: 149 lbs (yep, still....but, it doesn't bother me. My body is just adjusting.)

Weight left to goal: 26 lbs.

Calories Eaten: 1400 after I have dinner here.

Calories Burned: (will fill in later)

Days Left to hit goal: 78

So here is what would happen. I'd go to Pracs, eat really carefully, get out and have to hang out with my friends. For some reason hanging out with my friends kept meaning eating, movies, and drinking.
BOOOO!
I can't keep doing that.
I feel like i've tried to 'restart' my diet for the last month and a half. It's starting to get emotionally exhausting.
SO, yesterday with lots of my money in hand, I went and bought tons of food to supplement my 'about to be healthy again' lifestyle.
It also helps that now I have internet in my house again.
I have no excuses. If I fail this time, it's my own unraveling, and as of right now, I have nothing standing in my way.
Wish me luck... as here I go for what I *hope* but feel I *know* is the time that will stick.
Love Ya'll

I can officially say after hitting the gym and eating dinner that I LOVE how this feels and remember why I got so hardcore before. Wish me luck all!!

Look at that. The month is officially more than half way over!
Already. 2007 isnt taking it's time flying by it seems.
I can't believe I'll be out of Pracs here on Saturday morning!!!!
I need freedom, I'm starting to get so antsy!!! Even though it's been like negative 20 degrees, I want to go outside. Just feeling the need for some fresh air...
This morning I jumped on the scale, but I did it in a rush. (didn't want the other girls i room with to see. don't want to be the freakish girl with the scale...remember? lol) well, from what it looked like it may have been 146.
Hmm.
Wish I could OFFICIALLY document that! But because I was in such a rush, I can't let myself count it. (I am a creepy perfectionist when it comes to weighing myself!)
Anyway...nothing new in my land of boring....
I was gonna ask. If there's anyone that's reading this that would like to be part of the weightloss journey with me, you are more than welcome to leave me a comment and then starting monday you can share your gym experience/weight loss/fat loss/toning with me on the comments section.
just an idea....i always say how i'm doing good or bad, it'd be like you could join me. :)
Okay all, I think I'm gonna hit the plastic mattress for some shut eye.
Have a great night!!!
love yall

Weight: 14something between 6 and 8....lol
Calories Eaten: 1100 (not many cuz my options today were terrible, and I wasn't going to eat huge sugar cookies to make up for the low calorie day)

Well, well, well....Valentines DAY.
I have never been SO lucky to be alone and enclosed in Pracs on Valentines Day!
I would probably be doing/eating something unhealthy if I were not here, and I am GRATEFUL!
No fattening chocolate hearts for me!!!! lol (i've never been HUGE on chocolate as it is....)
Anyway...hope everyone is having a good week. I get out of here on Saturday morning, so i just need to make it through the rest of the week.
Know what kills me??
I lost some weight (no shocker...) BUT, the amount I lost; I did so without working out, and I can only wonder what it'd of been if I could've hit a gym! lol
I can't wait to get out of here, and get my energy back.
When you sit around ALL day and can't do physcial activity, you'd be surprised how sedentary your body will become.
But, when i get out: i plan to get back into my running! Besides, I will have a little lump of cash and one thing I'm really excited to get is really good running shoes!!!
(maybe even an ipod....hmmm)
Okay, well, i know i'm getting lighter. Hope all you are too (well, those of you who are trying anyway!)
love yall

hi anyone and everyone!
My internet connection has been SO scattered these last few days. Last time I was here in Pracs, I had it right at my bedside whenever I wanted. This time we were in a room where the connection would break every few minutes. It was really annoying.
But, for the upcoming forseeable future I can't think of a reason I won't be able to get online.
Let's see....So far in Pracs here, I've been doing really well in what I'm putting in my mouth. I can feel myself getting smaller. And...I did something really weird. (if you know me, you know i do weird things often)...when I packed up to come this time I stuck a scale in my big suitcase. In the bottom of my suitcase is a zipper that usually people call it the drug opening. Well...i opened it and shoved in the scale. Yes I could have had it in plain view (they search our bags when we arrive) and I don't see why they would have possibly taken it, but i didn't want to be THAT girl. The weird girl that brought a scale. LOL.
So...tomorrow is Tuesday, my first weigh in for the past week. I weighed myself last tuesday and almost cried! Everyone should have a point that they don't let theirselves get over (mine is 150) and I was 154. Yikes! Right? Well...kind of. I knew that I'd be eating really well in Pracs and there after, so I was pretty careless the week before coming in. AND, I gain weight AS fast as I lose it. I'm not normal. We'll see tomorrow I suppose, huh? Oh, now I'm getting myself all nervous. lol wish me luck! i expect/hope to back in the 140s! Hmm....
Anyway...I want to apologise to all of my readers who have watched me get more and more out of touch with my entries. I was writing stuff, but whether or not it was from the heart is questionable. I'm back though! Crazy, goofy, too nice for my own good, Ash is back!! :)
Thank you for my supporters, the known and the unknown. And, of course in true Ash tradition I have to mention a big thank you to John. You have been SUCH a motivation. You're unchanging dedication to your weight loss program has not only yielded wonderful results, but it reminds me to keep my head in it because I'm SO close!!
Thank you for always being there. :)
Okay all, have a great day!
You'll hear from me tomorrow.

Weight: (was 154 last Tuesday)
Calories Eaten today: at 700 and still have dinner to go. All week I've kept it 1300 or so. (yeah!)

Love ya'll!
