~ Little Wing's 2012 Journal ~

[Little Wing]

Imageshack decided to ban us so all the pics pretty much are missing from my old journal making it boring.

So here we go. Joined a lose weight challenge that is to last Feb 1st to end of March. I will pretty much only give a shit about kicking things off with a weight loss free for all till that ends then get sensible so save your you're doing it wrong advice till after then please.

I'm 50, I'm fat, and I'm not real miserable with it. I like to walk around the house feeling the weight of my boobs and jiggle of my ass fat. I don't however like to be stuck wearing the ugly ass big bras or seeing my fat waist in the mirror. I have a ton of clothes I wish fit. I want to look in the mirror n say, "I look good" rather than "I'm not that bad" or "I COULD get back in shape pretty easy."

Eating right isn't very hard for me but I get sooooo fucking sick of things. Right now it's salmon so I found this. I'm going to try low weight lots of reps and eating really clean and healthy to do this. I have some pretty good equipment so I don't need to go to the gym and will have no excuse for failure. Not hanging or moving any huge ass mirrors on my own this time.

Pics or it didn't happen.....

I've seen her stuff it's interesting. I'm looking for very simple ways to make chicken, beef, and fish taste better. I couldn't care less about cookie dough or cinnamon rolls etc. Last time I bought sausage I was so disgusted at the obviously not meat bits in it. I decided to learn to use real meat and the right spices to get that flavor on my own. Fennel seeds I think are the main flavor I like sausage for. I'm determined to learn my spices. It way too quickly goes from, "OMG that big juicy piece of grilled salmon was so good!" to "I never want to see salmon again!!!"

all the sweet stuff is just not my thing but i like the mushroom burger where she used big mushroom caps instead of bread. i like the cheesy meat bakes too, might try that. i'm going with meat and veggies no bread. i think white flour is as bad as white sugar... i'd rather eat lard. if i have a chocolate craving or sweet craving i'll have a milky way with a bottle of ice cold beer or a couple frozen bananas blended with cocoa powder. bananas are a shit food for losing weight but that makes great faux ice cream.

 

[REDDOG309]

I thought some of her stuff looked interesting. But white flour is shit if you listen to Built. And she knows a thing or two..What you were saying about the spices I have to tottally agree with you. My wife who I consider a great cook has a knack of knowing what spices go with what and it makes a world of difference in the food she prepares. Everything she makes is soooo tasty, anyway good luck I hope you accomplish your goals and I will be looking in to see how you are doing.

 

[Little Wing]

Thanks Reddog. My problem foods are fatty meats, salty cheeses, ben n jerry's, and say if i have cereal i probably have 4 servings with two cups of milk, so portion size. Eating to be sated. My daughter, who is super tiny btw, stayed at a friends once and still laughs about the bowl of 14 mini wheats.

 

[Kathybird]

Hi LW!! I'm with ya. I did lose some last year with Built's help but I'm plateau'd. We moved, new job, etc. etc. stressors = eating those Christmas cookies.

On the plus side, I can lift more than I ever have before. Where's those weights?

 

[Little Wing]

Hi Kathybird. want to join the challenge?

 

[jagbender]

Right on..I had a few buddys that used to compete back in the day and they would live on fish and run cardio like a fucking hamster in a wheel.
I would get tired just watching them do it.As I said GL and I am sure you will kick ass!

 

[Little Wing]

not a fitness related post. i have to go see my mom in the hospital tomorrow. it's the first time i've seen her in a few weeks and in that time she has lost a lot of weight, been told the chemo isn't working, and been told she only has 6 months to live. last i talked to her she sounded weak,tired, and ready to cash in. my dad died a long time ago and even tho it's been a shit relationship with my mom growing up n sometimes as an adult this is scary.

 

[malk]

[katielead130]

I feel ya there. Our grip on life seems so tenuous sometimes. Its very humbling. I understand why what happened to Whitney Houston happened, but it still freaks me out that she's only 1 year older than me.

Prayers for your mom. That's an important relationship in life.

thank you sassy.
