Yeah...so the title is a little aggressive :)
I was at the gym..... (love starting that way)
And this skinny girl decided to hop on the treadmill next to me...she looks over and scans my settings...(is it me or does this bother anyone else)...seriously..mind your own workout. Then she is running(as I am too) and she goes balls to the wall...for about 2 min then walks..then runs( a little slower this time) looks over at me again..walks...mind you I am jogging this whole time...this goes on for about 15min(yes I was rockin it) and she looks like she is dying and scans my settings again...now in my mind I am thinking...
BRING IT ON SKINNY GIRL....I have stamina and been doing this for some time....you are not going to show me up!
She gets off and leaves..... WIN WIN WIN
Okay..I know I am a little neurotic(just a little) and I may have imagined the whole competition thing..but it sure felt good. It made me continue to run and not stop...and it let me see how far I had come.
In order to stop the nighttime munchies I stayed upstairs for the evening...as far from the kitchen as I could. This seemed to work well for me last night. I will try it again tonight...hoping for a loss tomorrow at weigh in but for some reason it is not budging.
This morning I bought a basket of veges and fruit from Bountiful Basket..its an organization that lets you get a bucket full of yummy fruits and veges...one of my friends said I should try it but I was never game because you don't get to pick your fruits and veges and I was always worried I wouldn't eat them...not anymore I am going to cook it all up...hope I get something good. Its only $15(supposedly worth $50) with the cost of fruits and veges at the store I think it is worth it!

Change Font for Blog
So We had another Arizona Bander Lunch meet up and I was informed my font sucks! I did not know === really! So I changed it hope this is ok with everyone....please let me know if you don't like something about my blog..I don't want you guys to go away!
Below is Adorkbl(Lori), me, Jen(What you looking at Skinny), MandaPanda, Elizabeth
Man my nighttime eating has increased and I really need to curb my nighttime snacking....it wasn't the worst food choices but I could have done better. I got 3 more weigh ins and I have a feeling this week is going to be Nada...but I am preparing myself so that I don't throw another tantrum!
I did not get any new clothes...just found other things to do...need to make this a priority
Found out my Tom came in this week.....lovely..hate that guy!
I made jalapeno poppers this weekend that were just heavenly! I used whipped light cream cheese and center cut bacon. I was able to eat 3 halves... still managed to keep my calories at 200 for that and I felt like I splurged. It was a yummy treat..and good protein with no carbs!

Oatmeal Cookie Man
So I was at the gym last night and a nice man hopped up on the treadmill next too me(kinda cute too)...instantly I smelled Oatmeal cookies...throughout the rest of my exercise I swear I fantasized of cookies...not the man...just cookies...WTH is that. Thats a fat girl and her addiction. Dang. First I complain of smelly gym rats then its curie gym rats...now I have oatmeal gym rats...REALLY I am not sure which is worse.
But I have to reflect, my hubby is what gave me the push to exercise. He removed the guilt from leaving Johnny to go exercise. Him and Johnny have fun while I am gone and I don't feel bad at all taking that 1 1/2 hrs to exercise me...daily....he has never complained. Which is good, it would take him complaining once and that would be the excuse I need to stop this exercise.....Now if only I could get him to cook dinner also---I know cray cray talk!
So I have been on a kick with my favorite dinner. I buy lunch meat...the good kind...boars head or something from Costco(why is everything better at costco?) and I wrap it around a string cheese stick...sometimes just plain but I also like the weight watchers smokey string cheese...and I GRILL it. This week it was black forest ham. I LOVE these..under 100 calories each...I think mine have been averaging 80 a piece and I can only eat 1 or 2. Great protein..sodium can add up so if you can get the low sodium lunch meat even better......I like to let the cheese melt out of the roll up and brown a little...yum yum. They keep me full for hours.
I still love my edamame but for some reason it gave me heartburn yesterday so I am not going to have it today.
I also tried Tom Yum soup this week...Boy was that hot and spicy yumminess..may have to get some more of that and it is not real bad for you..cause its broth based not cream.
They also had these teas there Boba tea...with these like pearls in it...looked kind of good..but it was milky so I am sure there must have been cream in it so I didn't get it cause the calories look like they could be high...I wonder what the pearls taste like?
No real plans this weekend except Bander Lunch on Sunday and trim on Saturday. Can't wait for this weekend!

BOOBs challenge...I'm in the Lead!!!
Yea...I'm bragging a bit!
So they posted the BOOBs challenge results so far and I am in the lead! Me, in the lead for weight loss---shut the front door....I am a slow loser or at least I thought I was until this last month. Joey though is right behind me. I have to keep at it for another 3 weeks to win this thing....I so want to win it...I don't even know what I will win...its just the whole competition thing that is what is driving me...doesn't it always!
So today I am feeling crampy and cranky....ughh just want to wrap up in a blanket and sleep...if I could track my PMS I am either having it or Ovulating...the cramps suck and I hate taking ibuprophen because I hate swallowing the pills..I am always afraid they will get stuck...had one get stuck once and it is the worst feeling..so I am waiting to take my pills for a few hours until my band loosens up...so tight in the am.
This weekend us AZ banders are meeting up again, I am pretty excited about that. I have a hair appt this Saturday..nothing new..just trim and cover up that regrowth(and hidden grays--yikes!) and I just love that this weekend is pretty layed back!
I also think I am going to have to hit some shopping stores. I need size 16 pants real bad. I have been trying to make these 18's work but they just bag out so bad at the end of the day. I have one pair of 16's that I love. I'm not usually a goodwill shopper...let me admit that it kind of grosses me out with the smells...but I need some clothes and I am being cheap. I should probably check out the outlets too by my house I remember picking up my tommy hilfiger pants for under $20 a pop so maybe I will find some more. I do consider this a cadillac problem and not really anything to stress about.

Random Wednesday...Loss 7 lbs!
Weigh in Day!!!!
Last Week 221
This Week 214
---------------
Total Loss 7lbs
Holy crap people I don't know what happened...maybe I was on a plateau...maybe this fill was what I needed. I am so close to wonderland I can taste it!
Us AZ banders are meeting again...because we LOVE each other...actually Adorkbl really wanted to meet up last month but schedules just didn't allow for it and this month we are tight with Chicago trip and Jen(off on her amazing vacay's this month) So this was essentially the only weekend...and I have to meet Adorkbl....
Hubby is picking up golf cart from mechanic today...only $375(choking here) and we have to buy a charger...($200)...so today is an expensive day for the cheap skate I am...gasp......BUT it should be running today and then I get to license and insure it...choking again....
Football----yay...it starts today...so I have to make sure my lineup is set...I love fantasy football it really gets me more into the games when I know I can win some money! Although I have not won in my league and we have been playing 8 years...I know ... I know I am not very good....
Steph posted how she was contemplating riding boots...oh I would so love a pair...
Boy sorry for the small pic.
I wonder if my calves will ever slim down....you know how you see some people and there calves are huge and usually they have lost a lot of weigh but their calves were just...stretched out...I wonder if that will happen to me. I have never worn snow boots..my calves have always been too big. Let alone its Phoenix and I am not sure if I would get to wear them but maybe 2 days...but those 2 days...HOTNESS!!!

I fit in a towel!!!
I had a great NSV this weekend. I actually tied the towel around me and I had room. I couldn't believe I could walk around with just the towel and use my hands! That was crazy cool....I must say I stayed in that towel longer than normal basking in the NSV.
I am going to have a crazy weight loss this week. I mean I peaked today and I was 215...down 6 from last week. I am sure a lot has to be to this latest fill and I had a cold this weekend and did not feel good so of course...you don't eat much when you have a cold. I may actually hit onderland before Chicago. I am not going to be upset if I don't because frankly I am surprised being at my weight now.
I fit into my old calvin klein size 16 jeans with room...problem is...they are out of style..nobody wears these tight ankle jeans anymore..with there high waists....so 80's because I was wearing them late 80's early 90's last. I fit into some old large shirts..but the sleeves are too short and show off my wings....I am pretty much a 3/4 inch sleeve or full sleeve right now...short sleeves look yuck on me....glad winter is coming.
I got my new undies....yay!! and I am not to happy to say I went from a size 11 panty(yikes did I just print that) to a size 8...it looked like little girl underwear...but it fit my butt!
Question to my running bloggers...do you get compression gear at a running store or just any sports store....I stopped by one sports store but they had like almost nothing for women....I don't want to get man gear?
