oh yeah, and I just remembered (because somebody wrote a post about somebody being 40 and it reminded me)
I was at one of my foster homes yesterday, and one of the girls (19 years old) was watching TV and she suddenly started whooping and hollering saying WOW HE'S SO SEXY!!! OMG!!! so I had to go see who she was all excited about
sure enough, there was LL Cool J on the Tyra Banks show (which i never watch)
but I guess that man is 40 years old and he's still got it! He really IS a beautiful man! He's hardly changed at all since I was a kid
(girl, I know you don't love me, I know why you're here, but I ain't sayin' nothin')

he has an absolutely gorgeous smile. MMM MM!!!

I know what you mean too about being the troll in your family. I was adopted and my whole family is full of willowy blondes. It's like the Aryan Nation at my grandma's house whenever we get together and then you have me, the freaking brown boombastic who will never EVER be willowy no matter what, unless I break my pelvis and collarbone and get them reset so that I have a narrower frame but I won't be doing THAT.
I kinda know how this feels too. I'm the tallest (by 3 inches) and largest woman in my family! Makes me feel so huge. My mom always helped me with it though by comparing us to cars. What she was trying to do was say wee're all just as beautiful, we just represent a different kind of beauty; and that works because everyone has a different type! She said she pictured me as a timeless perfect-condition classic car and my sister has a new red sports car. Everyone will turn their heads at a hot red sports car, but there's nothing like a classic. Anyway, they probably wish they could be as sultry as you! Plus, normally really thin girls get jealous of our curves

Sara: That's cute, the car anaology. Your mom is cute! And there ARE different kinds of beauty, of course, I mean, I just posted about LL Cool J, right, and he is certainly a different kind of beautiful than, say, Keanue Reeves, but either one of them look da.mn good to me, you know? I don't know which I would choose! I wouldn't choose, I guess if I had the choice, I would say that both of them are hot and leave it at that! Also, I think that having a few different types of consorts has been good at making me appreciate different kinds of beauty--I mean I have a white WHITE boy consort, a Latino consort, a Filipino consort, a Jewish consort etc. (No Black dudes yet, I would LOVE to have an island-y Black dude! yeah, mon!) and they all have different body types--average body type, very thin, brick sh.ithouse build, even a little bit of pudge around the middle, and obviously I fancy ALL of them, I like to see ALL of them in their birthday suits, so there you go! I know men tend to be a bit more visual than women, but men seem to appreciate my body type fairly appropriately, lol! If I had to pick a car that my body was like, I'd say it was like a Honda Civic, you can park it anywhere, it's cute but not supersporty, it's fuel efficient, you can take it offroading if you have to because it's tough like that AND you can drive it forEVER because it's got the infrastructure to last. And it's the most stolen car out there, so there you go!
Dani: Wow, I like the look of those frog squats. Do you know what the benefit is of them over regular squats? Just curious...
I weighed myself this morning and total weight is now down to 148.6 with a body fat percentage of 32.2, which means I have 47.89 pounds of body fat, a little up from yesterday, but I am cool with it. I had a pretty big calorie deficit yesterday, probably about 500 or so, so I am sure the body fat percentage will drop soon. I have to admit, I WAS glad to see such a drop in total weight, that was pretty cool. That means I have now lost a total of 6.6 pounds in less than a month! Tomorrow is my big weigh-in so I am excited!
I also had that little "chat" with my superiors about mileage yesterday. They do not want to pay me mileage from travelling from hollywood to redlands anymore (no surprise, they are always complaining about that), so they told me that starting December 1, Redlands will be my home office. (66 miles away from my home office currently). So, I think what I am going to do is retain my place in Hollywood because I like living here a lot, and I spoke with my friend who lives like 5 minutes from the Redlands office and he said I could stay there during the week however much I needed to, so I said, great, cool! So now I have like two places for the price of one! Wherever I need to be! I mean, it DOES sorta suck that they are doing that to me, but luckily I have good, giving friends, and we worked something out. I will probably pay my friend something every month for his kindness, but it won't break me, and I think it might even be kinda fun (my friend is really cool and weird and we get along really well.) Plus he has a NICE plce, a house with a big, beautiful backyard AND laundry on-site WOO HOO!!!
For my food yesterday, I had:
-organic baby carrots
-cottage cheese
-blueberries
-dark cocoa almonds (MMMM!!!)
-pinto beans with cheese and tapatio sauce
-organic green apple
Probably about 1180 calories. I know, I know a little bit low, but I was really preoccupied with making arrangements for myself, didn't get up to 1200, but I think I am OK...
I am excited for this weekend! I am going to a little party right by house and my new roomie-friend is going to be there as well as my ninja consort, so that should be a blast AND my friend Eric is going to come up here and we are going to ride around on his motorcycle, which I love to do!

And Crimson, thank you! I gotta say, it feels GREAT to be in the 140s again. It's been a while since I've seen those numbers, and I like to see 'em, that's for sure!

| I have no idea if these frog squats are any better than regular. I DO know that they cause the "lactic acid" burn something fierce! I do them because regular ones cause a searing pain to tear through my bad knees! AND even though I haven't lost much weight lately, I will tell you that my butt was pretty lumpy with cellulite and now on each cheek I have only like 2 spots of "cottage cheese" plus it's more firm back there. So in conclusion I'd have to say these do work.

whew I tried those frog squats last night and they DO burn! Feels good though! Gotta say that I liked it!
My top advisor consort came over last night and we drank wine and started watching Season 11 of the Simpsons (that I JUST bought on DVD WOO HOO!!!) But I DID get the stupid drunk munchies and I think I might have gone over on my calories or barely broke even. I definitely did not have a good deficit, I will say that for sure. And then at like 4:00am I had to take the world's most giant sh.it, and it felt pretty good but it felt like intestinal fallout, really intense.
But anyway, yesterday I had:
-organic baby carrots
-dark chocolate almonds
-organic strawberries
-some more dark chocolate almonds
-nachos made with cheddar cheese, soy flaxseed chips and tapatio
-a bunch of melted cheddar cheese
-cottage cheese
-white wine
Calories was probably around 2100, 2000 something like that!
And the scale this morning reflected my indulgence with a total weight of 150.2 and a body fat percentage of 32.4% which means I am carrying around 48.66 pounds of fat, which does not make me very happy but oh well. It was fun to get silly and enjoy some good food. It would have been nice if I'd shown some restraint, but I didn't.... oh well! Hopefully today will be good and I can have a really nice official weigh-in tomorrow.
I am going to a party tonight with my friend Eric and I am meeting my ninja consort there. My friend Eric has never been to a party like I am taking him to, so he is excited, and I am excited for him! I think he will really like it. (it's basically like a little rave, right, but people don't usually actually SAY rave, that's more what Fox News and the police say, but then sometimes actual ravers will call it a rave when they are trying to explain it or be cute or funny.)
did you like that little subcultural lesson? did you take notes? Come on, that was some American anthropology right there!

oh AND I was so happy yesterday evening, my mutual fund account actually went up $91 bucks which was great! I was really, really happy. I have been buying a lot more shares lately since the prices dropped so low, so when it goes up at all, I get a lot more money, so that makes me really happy! YAY!!!!
That is like $91 totally free bucks. That is awesome!

Oh yeah, and yesterday, I got a notice from the parking violations bureau, I am fighting my parking ticket. I fight every ticket I get, even parking tickets. And a lot of the time I win. On this one, I am making the statement that I was wrongfully ticketed, that it was a Tuesday, not a Monday, and so I was parked on the correct side of the street and the ticketer must have gotten confused! So it's great! Even if I have to end up paying the ticket, I can still buy myself a bunch of time before I actually have to cough up anything. And if they tell me I have to pay, I always contest the decision and ask for another administrative review. It's great! I am also fighting another traffic ticket that is under review right now as well, and it's super great because the a-hole cop that gave it to me has to write up this report as to exactly what happened and he has to do that in addition to his other duties and it's busywork and I know he doesnt want to do it and so it;s like
hahaha
my boss says her husband also fights every ticket he gets and he usually wins. So I say
don't pay your tickets! Fight them!

I work with a guy who has an attorney buddy and his speciality is making parking/speeding tickets disappear. Evidently it is cheaper to pay him then the effects of the ticket on your record. I have only gotten on ticket and it was for j-walking in Waikiki. It was totally stupid b/c I crossed with like 30 Japanese tourists and I figure I got the ticket b/c the cop figured I was the only who spoke english. Oh well, it was only $40 bucks and hubby likes to rub it in once in a while.
Hope you have a great time at your party!

Oh YES! Today is my official weigh-in day, and indeed the gods have smiled upon me today. The scale said I weigh 148.6 pounds total weight with a body fat percentage of (drum roll please...)
31.3% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which means I am carrying around 46.51 pounds of fat. That is my lowest fat weight ever since I started 31 days ago! WOO HOO!!!!
And that party last night was very fun too. I got to see my ninja consort AND I met this other dude there and I went to give him a hug and RIGHT when I hugged him, the phone he had in his pocket that was exactly crotch level to me totally vibrated and I was like oh YEAH! I am going to hug this guy until this call stops! lol

So, to run the numbers, I have now lost a total of 7.6 pounds total weight, 4.9 of which was fat. So that is awesome! I am so pleased! That's great results for a month! (Well, a month and a day, but still...!)

Well done on the 140s!!! That rocks.
Also well done on the parking tickets. they are so stern on that in england, I've contested them, but never won, so it makes me very happy that not only have you won some, but also that you're creating extra paper work for some a.nal traffic policeman who should get a real job. woohoo!
thanks for your post. only a couple more days of this TOM rollercoaster of tears and tantrums.

Yes, I can't tell you how happy I am to be in the 140s. It's great! My ninja consort is coming over in a few hours, so I need to get myself ready. I haven't showered yet today! and my friend eric just left. He totally reminds me of Bob Saget. It's so funny, it just hit me today that's who he TOTALLY reminds me of!

God, I hate that word obese--and I can't believe that until this morning I was considered obese. I mean really, when I think of obese, I think of the Comic Book Guy, you know? I guess the clinical definition of obese is really different from what most people think of when they think of obese.
sheesh!
I guess there's morbidly obese, maybe that's the clinical definition of the Comic Book Guy, I don't know.

Okay, there are levels of obesity--get this:
There is Class I, Class II, and Class III obesity and class III is further broken down into severe obesity, morbid obesity, and super obesity.
That's according to the BMI.

Congrats on your accomplishment!
Yeah, when a lot of people think of obese, they're usually thinking of morbidly obese. I'm borderline obese myself, both according to BMI and to actual body fat percent.
It's funny - a lot of people are like, "I heard that this guy weighs over 200 POUNDS! THAT'S ENORMOUS!!!" Yet, they probably really don't know what 200 pounds actually looks like. I'm 214, but most people I've talked to put me about 170-190.
There are so many factors at work to determine it. The important thing is that YOU are happy (and healthy). Kudos.

yeah, I hear you, I hate telling people my weight because I think it sounds really big, and usually people can't believe it when I tell them I weigh around 150, they usually put me around 130. (unless maybe they are blowing smoke up my as.s, which is always a possibility).
But yeah, I think when people hear obese, they are thinking morbidly obese. But even the word obese sounds all crazy fat, you know?
I mean, say it out loud:
OBESE
it reminds me of Jabba the Hutt. Because it sounds like "a beast"
And I told one of my consorts that I was out of being obese and he started laughing and he was like when were you ever obese? And I said YESTERDAY DUDE!!! And he rolled his eyes until I showed him the numbers and he was like wow!
I would have never thought that obese meant what it actually means! Do you know that almost everybody is obese then?
Weird...

Good heavens!!!
I was gone for every bit of a few minutes to update the Challenge log and do very brief browsing...I come back, and you have replied to eighty billion diaries, and in a pretty detailed manner, I might add. I thought I typed fast at 120-130 WPM, but you would probably blow me away.
Yes...Jabba the Hutt is what comes to my mind, too, when I think of obese.
Ah well. Live long and prosper!!! (Oops, wrong series...)

live long and prosper is what the vulcans say, right?
I don't know how fast I type, but I know it's pretty fast. I don't think it's faster than 120 - 130 or 130 - 150 or whatever you said though. You were probably gone longer than you think.
I don't know.
Maybe I should time myself. I thought I did once and clocked out at 90...
anyway, I weighed myself this morning and my big free day has once again of course moved the scale up...
I ate a LOT yesterday, and I took a HUGE cr.ap this morning!!! like early before 6am, but it felt good. But even after that big release, the scale still said that I weighed 154 pounds total (that's a gain of over 5 pounds since yesterday right--) and had a body fat percentage of 32.2%, meaning that I had also gained 3 pounds of fat since yesterday.
I have been doing the free day thing long enough now though to expect a sudden spike in the scale numbers, especially after the day AFTER the big food fest. It generally takes about 3 - 4 days for those numbers to go back down to around normal level again, and then there is usually a dramatic drop between day 6 and day 7 of my weekly food cycle. So, anyway, I am not too worried about the weight gain.
But here is what I ate yesterday, and it was a lot
-pizza with pepperoni and jalapenos, an entire medium pizza. Okay, maybe not the ENTIRE pizza, as I left a few crusts, but basically the entire pizza WITH a side of ranch dressing mind you
-piece of spumoni cake
-Jack in the Box Side Sampler (popcorn chicken, mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, jalapeno poppers)
-Jack in the Box egg nog shake
-Jack in the Box Sourdough Jack
-fresh pineapple
-dark chocolate covered almonds
-some strawberries
so WHEW! No wonder the scale moved so much
(and my bowels moved so much!)
but it felt good, and I am definitely ready to start eating healthy again this week. Actually, I am ready to eat like nothing because I am stuffed, but I will make sure the bulk of my food today is fruit and veggies.
And water. Speaking of that, I am REALLY thirsty like right now!

oh MAN now that is the second big cr.ap I had to take this morning and now my caboose is totally on fire
(the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!)
and I bet that's not the end of it either.
and I DON'T think it has anything to do with the colon cleanse really, I think it is my body trying to process that glut of processed food I put in it yesterday. Now I enjoyed the glut of processed food, so I am taking full responsiblity for the roof being on fire, but I am definitely glad I only do that once a week. I think that is the perfect thing, although the Monday morning burns are a definite price to pay...

Wow! I was just looking an my finances today too (well I look at them every day), and since I started eating healthier and pretty much just making the bulk of my meals myself instead of getting fast food (which is what I used to do), I have saved a LOT of money. I seriously have about $230 than I usually have. This is FANTASTIC!!!! Who would have thought that eating healthy would pay off financially? But it TOTALLY does!!! I can't believe I spent that much on fast food. But I guess I did! I have no idea what I will do with the extra money, but I am just happy to have it!
And just on a nice little aside: I had missed calls from 4 of my consorts when I woke up this morning. I fell asleep on the couch after getting back from my little date, I have no idea what time I fell asleep because I don't use clocks except for during the week to keep appointments or get to work on time. But that was a nice surprise!

That's funny that you don't use clocks. LOL, we have one in every room of the house. Some rooms have two or three. I hate not knowing what time it is.... We are just as bad about calenders.

I love not knowing what time it is. It makes me feel like I am on vacation. And it also sort of makes me feel primal, like more in natural rhythm instead of going along with a clock. Eat when you're hungry, not when it's noon. Sleep when you're tired, not when it's 10:30pm or whatever time you usually go to bed, that sort of thing.
I went for a run this morning, interspersed with mountain climbers and it felt GREAT! I try to make myself run a little farther every time. And indeed I ran a little farther this morning, so that was nice.
I also went and got my nails done (fingers and toes) in black. I am getting some photos taken of me professionally on Saturday, so I wanted to have the nails done. Plus I am going to a Halloween party this weekend and seeing my top advisor consort (and probably some other ones too) so I want to look really good. I plan to get my hair done (colored and styled) on Halloween and then going shopping for some new duds tomorrow. I am excited to see what size pants I can fit into now because my work pants are now really baggy, so I am pretty sure I have gone down at least one size.
I am also back on track with my meditation after being lazy about it for a week or so. It feels good to be on my schedule again, it makes such a difference in my outlook, and it feels so good to do it.

oh but now here's an interesting development--I am bleeding (very little, but still bleeding) and it is like day 11 of my cycle. I don't recall ever doing this before, although knows, I have been bleeding since I was 11 so there's probably some stuff I don't remember. I am pretty sure this is because my diet and activity level has changed so drastically. Have any other chicks experienced this?

I've only ever spotted when changing birth control methods. Or when I forget to take a couple pills I start right away. I especially "spotted" when I was on the shot, but it was more like a full out period! For like 6 months straight! It sucked.
That's funny it's happening when you're eatting healthier. I guess that probably happens, maybe your hormones are re-adjusting? Hopefully it doesn't make you miss one! I hate it when that happens, I get so freaked out!

ideally i want to turn into one of those women who hardly notice their periods, so maybe this spotting is the beggining of that, hormones readjusting, etc. Let's hope so! That would be so cool!

Okay, I went into work and trained another foster family--they are all done with training now, and I have my homestudy interview scheduled with them for Nov. 9th. They are a very motivated couple and they got their stuff done real quick. One of them was in foster care herself, so she will be really understanding about all of the issues that foster children can have, so that is a really good thing.
I didn't eat that much today, as I said, I still feel sorta full from yesterday, so I had:
-organic baby carrots
-Fearless Frank with tapatio sauce (I need to find a hot sauce that is preservative-free)
-some dark chocolate covered almonds
-an avocado
-some fresh pineapple
-green tea in the morning and then one cup at night to get through my training
-glass of white wine
probably just under 1200 calories for the day.
And once again, I ordered pizza for the foster parents to eat at the training, and I did not feel tempted in the least. I also got them Oreos and I was not tempted at all to eat them, which is really really good! It's great! I am so happy about that!

Nice work on avoiding the bad stuff. Pizza is my kryptonite. Haven't touched it since I started this diet though.
P.S. How do you eat the avocados? With salt and pepper? Plain? With lemon? I know they're a great source of healthy fat so I was just curious.

lol, kryptonite you're so funny!
KIDS! REMEMBER YOUR WEAKNESS IS KRYPTONITE!
Geez Marge, tell the whole neighborhood!
I am telling you, having the one cheat day a week keeps me so completely disciplined during the week, it's unbelievable. It was a tomato and basil pizza too, so normally, I would be like drooling, it smelled really good, but it was GREAT, I didn't want any.
As for the avocados, I just eat them straight--scoop it out of the skin, put it in a bowl and just eat it. I think they are sooooo good!
Incidentally, they are also good for your hair and skin, so if you have one that got a little too ripe to eat, you can mash it up and put it on your face or your hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off! (Probably something a girl would do more thana guy, but hey, dudes can use nice skin and hair too!)
So, the scale this morning has gone down from yesterday, thank Christ! I now weigh 151.4 with a body fat percentage of 32.2, which means I am carrying around 48.75 pounds of fat, that is about an .84 pound drop in the fat reading since yesterday, so I am pleased with that.
Also, check THIS out:
I get to work yesterday, and there is a little tiny stuffed koala bear sitting on my desk with a card. I open the card, and it says all this really nice stuff like
I hope this brightens your day and week
you are a ray of sunshine and deserve the best
and it's signed "Joe"
and I am thinking
who the f.uck is Joe? He sure is nice to give me this card, but WHO IS HE?
The only thing I can think of is that its the maintenance dude that I talked to two Saturdays ago when I went into the office to use the stairs for a workout. It's a mystery though, I could have sworn that dude's name was Fernando, but maybe I am getting him mixed up with the cleaning dude whose name is Francisco. Hmmmm
it was really sweet though! The little koala bear is cute! and the card was super-nice. It's just confounding is all!

That's so funny about the koala bear!
I wish random people would give me stuffed animals : D
Congratulations on the fat loss too!

the running sounds great...it's so cool reading all these diaries from all these really different landscapes - it's ace that you can go running in the mountains.
so, a soft toy and card...sounds like yet another admirer!

Wow, I just went into the office with the intention of doing a quick stair workout and ended up being there forEVER handling stuff that just happened to come up while I was there, and I got so busy I forgot to eat and I was so happy I had my protein shake stuff there.
But I did do the stair workout--I can now run up and down the stairs 9 times, which is great because I used to be ready to pass out after 5 times up and down, so that's almost double! And I did some crunches and those killer frog squats that Dani taught me. I can do 12 now. Boy, do they burn!
But I got a lot of work done, which is cool, I have to go to a homestudy interview tonight, which will keep me out probably until 8pm or so.
My big plan is to go sunbathe a little and maybe I'll even take a nap, I don't know, I am tired now!
The bear and the card were indeed sent by Joe the maintenance guy, as confirmed by my coworker Elaine. So, that was very nice of him. It wasn't you sizzle, so don't try to play it off like it was. Although I think it was you that left me tethered like this: (thanks a lot)

I don't run in the mountains, I just run around the block and then run on the stairs at the office. I live in L.A., so everything's pretty flat.
The soy flaxseed chips are from Trader Joe's and they are AWESOME!

No, haha, I tried to imagine some crazy maniac cop with a blowtorch to get that look on my face.
That photoshoot, i forget the photographer's name, but he basically let me choose all my own poses/scenarios because I thought his were boring. So I came up with a bunch of kind of scary/sexy stuff. He was just into the stupid sit on the stool and smile stuff which I think is TOTALLY LAME AND BORING
but i will do whatever the photographer wants (just no pink shots), but if he's willing to give me creative license, then I am all over it.

No pink shots? But what if you want the photo to be extra classy?
P.S. I liked the song that you linked on my diary. I'm a techno fan toooooo. I can jog to this song nonstop.....or until my lungs explode at least.
