If you've been tracking my stats to the right
You'll notice that I gained like 3 pounds.
Tip: Don't eat jalapeno bites from Arby's at 3:30 a.m.
Probably NOT the greatest dieting habit.
But come on...
You go out and have a good time.
You need something at 3 a.m. to refuel!
You would think jalapeno bites would ruin me..but they didn't.
I survived and they were good.
I just know that I have to shovel more snow today to work it off.
We went out to the bar last night again.
I wore a white tank top with a long sleeve white shirt over it.
I had a cute hat on too.
It is so much more fun going to the bar now.
I actually had a girl drag ME out on the dance floor with her.
The jell-o shot guy actually gave ME a free one.
I even felt so confident as to take off my long sleeve shirt for a bit.
I even sang kareoke for the first time in my life and loved it.
Towards the end of the night I saw two girls off to the side.
One girl had to have easily been about 400 lbs.
Her girlfriend was probably around my starting weight.
I felt bad for the bigger one because she was sort of dancing
But she was all hot and looked tired.
I wanted to go dance with them, but I didn't want to get my butt kicked.
I just related.
I remembered what that felt like.
To be in the back corner on a stool..not dancing and not having fun.
No one ever looked at me or ever asked me to dance.
I hated dancing because I thought people were laughing at me
And I felt like I was bumping into people.
Even Tammy didn't like dancing with me back then because I made her too hot.
Next time I see those girls I'm going to dance with them.
I'm such a shy person...I just can't jump in and dance with a random person.
I ran out of time last night to dance with them
Because we closed down the bar once again!

New Look
I thought I would give this page a new look.
What do you guys and girls think?
Is it too busy?
Is it hard to read?
Do you like the colors?
Any other suggestions for sidebar information?
Give me your comments!

Good-bye To Buffets
Current Weight: Same as Below...but probably more now because I ate a lot for dinner and had 2 glasses of wine and Funions because it's a good combination damn it!
Total Lost: 110.5 lbs.
So that last post was a short one.
I had to gripe about the account thing.
I was just annoyed.
Tonight we went to Ponderosa for dinner.
Cheap steak and shrimp buffet place.
There was a coupon sticker on the local paper today.
I stole all of them.
Like I'm going to eat that many buffet dinners!
Who am I kidding?
Tammy and I split a steak.
It was good for the cheap place.
My first trip to the buffet consisted of:
1) 1 skinny slice of cheese pizza (didn't eat it all)
2) 6 friend shrimp (gone!)
3) 6 cold shrimp with shells (ick! gave up after one)
4) About 2 Tbs of shrimp scampi noodle crap (gone!)
My second trip to the buffet consisted of:
1) About 1/4 plate of salad with all the good stuff (only ate about half)
2) One small scoop of vanilla pudding with vanilla wafer cookies. (gone!)
And I had one glass of Dr. Pepper.
Not good to have really.
By the end of the salad, which I always eat last cuz I'm weird...
I was so full I needed a nap.
I ran to the car and hopped in the passenger seat.
I am done with buffets.
Seriously...why go there?
I can't eat jack and I'll never eat my moneys worth ever again!
So, this is my tribute to all buffet meals.
The good old Warsaw Inn.
Shakeys Pizza Parlor Buffet
The Buffet (pronounced like Jimmy Buffet) at Ball State
Ponderosa
All Chinese Buffets
Done.
Forever.
I just can't handle them anymore.
Waste of my money and time.
AND!
It plays on my emotions too much.
I see all that food and get waaaaaaay too excited.
I eat like I'm normal and then I pay later.
Not good.
So...
Good-bye Buffets...Adios.
Where's the celery?

Why?
Current Weight: 176.2 lbs.
Total Lost: 110.5 lbs
This isn't about weight today.
It's about the fact that I have to have a Google account to log into this blog.
Why do I have to have 70 different accounts to publish stuff?
Flickr...Yahoo.
Blogspot...Google.
Come on!!!
I can't remember all of these usernames and passwords people!
I'm going to be 30 in a month!
I'm getting old!
I can't remember everything anymore!

Hobart Semi-Formal
This is a picture of me at Hobart's semi-formal dance last Friday night. I didn't have anything nice to wear because everything nice that I own is too big for me! So, I went out to JC Penny and bought this pants suit. It's a size 14. I also had to buy new shoes because I grew out of all of those too! These shoes are a size 7. Not a 7 wide...just a plain 7. It's weird how the body shrinks in different areas.

Running
Current Weight: 179.4 lbs.
Total Lost: 107.3 lbs.
The alarm clock didn't even go off this morning.
I rolled over and the green numbers glowed 5:01.
I decided this was the day I was going to start running.
No special reason.
I just want to run.
Maybe it could be a future goal.
Maybe I could run a marathon one day.
Who knows?
I stretched.
I dressed.
I inserted my ear buds and pressed play.
I ran.
It was dark outside so no one could see me.
No one could make fun of me for stopping.
No one to laugh at my fat flying around.
It took me four songs.
It took about 13 minutes.
I ran one mile.
Ok....ran/walk.
But I did it.
I felt so good afterwards.
I was so impressed with how long I could actually run without stopping.
Now I only need the determination to keep going and do it again.

Bathing Beauty
Current Weight: Don't know...on vacation.
Total Lost: Somewhere around 105 lbs.
Right now I'm supposed to be at school.
The day back from break...yuck.
I should be in first hour right now yelling at people to get their projects done.
But where am I instead?
Wisconsin Dells...The Glacier Canyon Lodge
It's part of the Wilderness Resort.
Huge place with 3 indoor water parks.
Now...why is this entry in my bypass blog?
I just had to share how proud of myself I am.
Last year...same time...getting up to those water slides was a chore.
I ran out of breath.
I had to take a break half way up the stairs.
My heart raced.
Getting into and out of a tube was embarrassing.
This year....
I flew up those stairs.
No breaks.
Tons of breath left.
And I ran back up there three times in a row.
It felt good.
My bathing suit hangs off of me, but where do you buy a new suit in January?
I'm wearing shorts to hide my thighs and the shorts are too big!
I have so much more confidence in myself.
I'm not embarrassed to walk around in my suit this year.
I just feel so good about myself these days.
If this was as low as I got...I'd be happy.

Jeans, Virgina and Pizza
Curent Weight: 178.6 lbs.
Total Lost: 108.1 lbs.
I can't even remember the last time I was in the 170s.
Too weird to comprehend.
I just went to Old Navy the other day.
I was forced into buying a Size 12 pair of jeans.
Tammy refused to let my by bigger.
Smaller is scary.
What if I never get there?
Tammy and I took a trip to Virginia this week.
She had a school residency program to accomplish.
I was there for fun.
Almost every meal Tammy and I shared.
It really cut our food cost down.
Yesterday at the airport I got a slice of pizza.
And it was a brand new pizza out of the oven.
The lady picked the BIGGEST slice to give me.
I almost told her...no...could you give me a smaller piece?
But I didn't.
Why?
It's the fatty in me coming out.
Why would I pay $3 a slice for a small slice?
If I'm paying that much...I want a lot.
Not that I'm going to eat it all...I just want it.
So, I have this huge slice hanging out of the box cuz it's so big.
I sit down and tackle it.
Cheese is my weakness.
I ate the whole thing except the 7 inch long crust part.
It was so good.
And that was the last thing I ate for the night.
Almost half way to 120 lbs down.
Two and a half months until my year anniversary.
What weight do you think I'll be on March 20, 2007?
Let's take some wagers and have a contest!

Take a Leg!
Poor Leslee. I made her get our of bed to take this picture with me. Doesn't she look thrilled to be alive? It's just fun to think that I lost more than what she weighs.
I Can Fit In One Leg!
I can't believe that I can fit into one leg of these shorts. It's like a little mini skirt.
Before and After 101.3 lbs
Here's a front view before and after.
I had to censor because the short were falling down!
You could see my undies!

Current Weight: 185.4 lbs.
Total Lost: 101.3 lbs.
Yes...I have reached the 100 lbs mark again!
I'm down to 101.3!
It sounds like a radio station.
I took pictures this morning and this is the side view.
I have a new outfit on because the other one just falls off.
I think I might use different shorts next time.
The purple ones are too long.
I really can't believe the difference.
I just don't even remember being that big!
I look at the picture on the left and I get tired.
I think...how in the heck did I even move?
I'm going to post more pictures right now.
I know you'll all enjoy them.

Fake Crystal Light
Current Weight: 188.0 lbs.
Total Lost: 98.7 lbs.
I finally got the tests done on my leg.
They all came back negative.
It doesn't hurt anymore so that's good.
I'm so close to 100 pounds down.
That means new pictures!
I haven't exercised in about 3 weeks.
I know...that's bad.
I have just been really busy with other things.
I gained 3 pounds of Thanksgiving.
I lost it in about 3 days.
I was stuck at 190 for about a week and a half.
Today I dropped two pounds.
Funny eating story...
I made a breakfast quiche for dinner the other night.
And some yummy cinnamon rolls.
The quiche was great.
I allowed myself a half a cinnamon roll...too much sugar for me.
I was drinking my Crystal Light and it tasted good!
Tammy was like...that's not Crystal Light.
It was Kool-Aid!!!
I just went right then and there to lay down.
Sure enough...two minutes later my heart was racing.
Stupid fake Crystal Light!!!
My hands are getting smaller
My feet are getting smaller
And my top stomach roll is almost non-existant.
I am one happy camper in the weight department.

My Turkey Day Plate
Here's a shot of my finished Thanksgiving Day plate.
I ate a little bit of everything.
I just took a spoonfull of everything and ate a tiny bit.
Everything was delicious.
I ate slow and watched the sugars.
I was happy that I didn't get sick and was still able to eat.

Bruise From Nowhere
Current Weight: Don't know...Thanksgiving...Break From Weighing.
Total Lost: About 97 lbs. still
Last Monday I noticed this bruise on the back of my leg.
It hurt pretty good.
See that white spot in the middle?
That's where it hurts to the gentle touch.
I don't know how I got this.
I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I got worried.
I thought it could be a blood clot.
They checked my blood and said eveything looked ok.
She said to watch it and see if it changes and grows.
See the red line around it?
I drew that on Tuesday.
It has grown a little and gotten darker.
Ever since Tuesday I have noticed my right knee hurting.
It has gotten progressively worse.
Today it is a little swollen and crunches when I bend it.
Not good.
And I swear I haven't done anything to hurt my leg or knee!
I wonder if the two things are related.
I think I just might have to go back to the doctor tomorrow.
What do you think?

Running A Lap
Current Weight: 189.6 lbs.
Total Lost: 97.1 lbs.
So, today in photo class we went outside.
We were practicing taking action pictures.
I was looking at the track and thought to myself,
"I wonder if I could run a whole lap without stopping?"
So, one of my junior students Christina and I took off running.
I made it 3/4 of the way around and then pooped out.
Eighth hour I decided to try it again.
This time I ran the opposite way thinking it would be shorter.
It wasn't shorter.
AND...I made it this time!!!
I was so excited!
One day I hope I can run a little longer...maybe a marathon or something.
Hey..everyone needs goals.

Size 18 Jeans!
Current Weight: 189.6 lbs.
Total Lost: 97.1 lbs.
So I haven't done my laundry yet from my trip to Nashville.
I couldn't find any pants to wear this morning.
I looked at the size 18 jeans I bought a Goodwill a while ago.
I read that Rosie O'Donnell weighed 212 and wore a size 18.
I thought...hell, I'm less than that!
So, I put them on and look how they fit!
I was shocked and excited!
Tammy made me wear a shirt that I could tuck in.
I was a little self conscious about it at first.
I didn't want my roll to show.
I looked in the mirror and it looked ok!
Tammy just wanted to see my cute butt!
I totally need to go shopping again and get smaller clothes.
On another note...eating is the devil.
I hate food.
Maybe I'm just doing a bad job of eating.
I think I eat too fast because I get excited.
Then two seconds later the food looks gross and I get sick.
I am also doing bad on my sugar intake.
I need to watch this.
Every time I eat now I have to say to myself, "You hate eating."
Just to remind myself that I'm going to get sick if I don't eat right.

Nashville Here I Come
Current Weight: 191.2 lbs.
Total Lost: 95.5 lbs.
Well Cardio class is over.
It was a good run and I really enjoyed it.
I would like to keep going, but I think I'm going to continue at home.
I found a fitness channel on On Demand that has cardio workouts.
I also found 4 Tae-bo tapes in my basement.
Tomorrow I head to Nashville for the national journalism convention.
It should be fun...I'm not really into going this year for some reason.
Hopefully we'll do some walking down there on Thursday.
And maybe even a little bit of line dancing.
