WHY WEDNESDAY!!!

Just under the wire here is WHY WEDNESDAY!

To get my smile back.

In pictures, I have noticed a change in how I smile. It looks kinda fake, and kinda forced, and kinda painful. I'm not feeling this way when the picture is being taken, and then when I see it, I'm like "Oh, why do I look constipated??" My face is just puffy, and not me. So for funsies, here is a comparison:

2004

2006

2007

2009

2010

2010

2010

Maybe I'm just getting old :)

And yes that was WHY WEDNESDAY!!

A rough couple of weeks...

Last week I didn't lose or gain, this week I'm a bit nervous for weigh in. Not because I have been off track or anything. I have been sticking to the plan, I just don't want to be disappointed. So I am recommitting myself for September. I am going to swim longer and go in earlier! It needs to happen. Also I need to stop guessing at points. I am going to get me a set of measuring cups and carry them in my purse. It may seem extreme, but I want to see results.

I just peeked at the scale and I am down to 229! So this bodes well for tomorrow!

Visual Friday

Here is a different kind of visual for this week's Friday:


It's interesting to me to see how much the weight has effect on your body. It changes your skeletal system and your organ placement. This picture also makes me want to do a cleanse. All that black stuff through out the intestines is waste...

If this isn't motivational I don't know what is!

Adele

So there I was...

At work, doing two pedicures at the same time. A mom and her daughter. And they were talking la la la, and then, Adele's new song Rolling in the Deep ("we could have had it baaaaaaaaad"....that one) comes on over the radio. And then the conversation turned ugly.

The mother starts with "The singer of this song looks nothing like I thought. When I was watching the Vh1 music awards I didn't expect THAT!"

The daughter "Oh I know, I was expecting someone more like that girl with the dreads from american idol"

The mom "Well I just wasn't expecting someone so BIG..."

daughter "Ya you would never thought someone like that would sound so good."

the song changed and then they started talking about Katy Perry.


I was embarrassed and upset all at the same time. Here I was scrubbing their nasty feet and they were going on and on about a full figured girl, like me, like she was beneath them.

They were average people, nice enough looking. I know they weren't directing their comments at me. But their words stung me. I thought them over while I was swimming last night.

Here is this successful, young women who can sing her heart out and she is being judged on how she looks. Like fat people can't have talent? Because why?? I don't understand. 

WHY WEDNESDAY!

that's right kids it's

WHY WEDNESDAY!

Cute clothes

I feel like I don't really have a style yet. I wear whatever fits or whatever comes along. I'm excited to donate all my clothes and find myself a cute style AND look good doing it!

and that was WHY WEDNESDAY!
