Days 12-22 + Goal Sheet + BEE PORN?? WTF?

Sooooo, I haven't been blogging.  BUT, I have been dieting!  But... I haven't been hardcore exercising.  I know, bad!  I HAVE, however, been pretty active--going swimming, taking Tristan on walks, going to the zoo--all of which have clearly been working, because when I weighed in this morning I came in at 201.2!  POW!  I am almost to my very first goal reward!

Speaking of my goal reward sheet, this is what I have set up for myself.  As I blogged about before, I started this journey a few weeks ago at 210 lbs, and to help myself along during my GOALDATEGOALWEIGHT challenge, I created mini weight milestones that allow me to reward my progress in small increments--5 lbs each to be exact, giving myself something to work toward in each couple weeks of training.  My biggest underlying goal with this was not to reward myself with food.  After all, that would be extremely counterproductive!  Each of the goal contain things I want or enjoy doing.  I also tried to give the last few goals some real punch, since I know from experience its hard to not just say, "this weight is just as good" when you are only 15 lbs away.  My first goal is 200 lbs, and it ticks down to my goal weight from there.  Here is the goal sheet I created for myself:

200 lbs: New workout clothes
195 lbs: Painting for vanity wall (I recently set up a vanity area which could use some wall hangings)
190 lbs: Pedicure
185 lbs: Facial
180 lbs: New workout clothes
175 lbs: Massage
170 lbs: Pedicure
165 lbs: New vanity chair (because I'm currently using an old office chair)
160 lbs: New workout clothes
155 lbs: Fresh flowers
150 lbs: New family photo
145 lbs: New shoes
140 lbs: New workout clothes
135 lbs: True Religion Jeans
130 lbs: New, spendy bikini
125 lbs: VEGAS!

Only one pound away from scratching off the first round of new workout clothes!  SO excited.

Lastly, before I sign out on this ridiculously small update: I looked through my blog stats because I noticed a few more hits (thanks, random few people who came here).  But I really have to address one of the Google searches that led to me, because lets face it, its fucking weird.  "Bee porn".  WTF???  What the hell is BEE PORN???  How does that even work?  Or is there something someone really likes about having bees around when engaging in, ahem, extracurricular activities?  So I googled it, because WTF, someone googled bee porn and got me, so I'm wondering how in the world does one find ME?  Apparently there is a porn site with that very domain name (not linking to you guys, sorry!), videos of bee's doing it with one another (ok, I guess?), and a random tumblr and flickr page, but guess who isn't on the front page at all?  ME. I'm not even in the first five pages! (Which is, incidentally, the only amount of time I would spend searching for my blog under "bee porn").  Nothing under images brings up any image I've ever posted here, so I'm at a loss as to how its linking here.

So, now that I've given whomever is searching for "bee porn" a few more reasons to end up here because of it (because find one page that's said "bee porn" this many times in one posting, right?), hi, I'm BzB, and here's a word of advice: quit looking for bee porn.  I mean really, that's just plain weird.  Stop it.  Oh, and thanks for the page view!

Until then--

Update: after further investigation, it has everything to do with this post I made over a year ago.  LOL.  Expect a deja vu post sometime over a year from now where I do it all over again!

8, 9, 10, 11

As of day 8, my promise ring from tony FITS!!!! I haven't been able to wear my ring for over a year, and it was killing me because of how much the ring really meant to me. I solely thank my diet change that eliminated a lot of unhealthy stuff and let me flush out some water. Otherwise, these days have been rather uneventful, apart from the fact that my weight hasn't budged, and my appetite is practically nonexistent. I did go over a bit yesterday after having a very meaty steak kabob and no exercise to speak of, but I'm still under budget for the week. I also ended up accidentally missing a running session, I was really avoiding the thick and humid 100+ degree weather. I just have to remember, NO EXCUSES! I'm not going to stop until I find the me that's buried under this fat. Ready for some yoga tomorrow!
