Where In The World Is MaligntRED?
Don't worry, never fear...RED is here.
Been one helluva week for me. Between working and sleeping and the boyfriend and I have been going out to the movies. I was more than suprised when Tony's friend told him to ditch me and go see the movie "Jeepers Creepers" with him instead of me and Tony told him that he wouldn't because I wanted to see the movie. He tried everything to get Tony to do it but he told him no, that it wouldn't be right and that he couldn't help it if his girlfriend didn't like horror/sci-fi/action movies. He told him that if he wanted to go see it with us he could or they could go another night. I was kinda proud of my boy then.
I took a couple of days off from walking this past week. My monthly finally came and BOY did it. It has been a while since I cramped like that...and to top it off I couldn't find anyone to work for me. So I endured Labor Day weekend, working 11-7 making sandwiches for nothing but drunks, with cramps so bad I would have paid someone to dig out my female organs with a plastic spoon. But I made it through it, in one piece, and my Boyfriend survived too.
He told his mom he was concerned that I wasn't walking and she told him that he had no idea what it was like with cramps and that once I stopped hurting I would go back to hitting the trails. And she was right.
Yesterday, I started walking again. I added 5 pound weights to my ankles. I thought it would add a little bit to my walk time but it didn't. My boyfriend has been very lovey. I think he's realized that I am in this for keeps. His mom told me that he has plans on getting me a membership to the gym once I am ready to join (or it starts snowing, whichever comes first). She told me not to tell him. His mom started going back to the gym last week. She's 60 years old, she goes to stay in shape. She hasn't went in about six months but her sister came down for a visit and told her she was getting jiggly. Needless to say, she started the week after her sister went home.
My boyfriend once told me that his dream was to have a girlfriend that worked out with him at the gym. I asked him the other day "Remember when you said you wanted a girlfriend who would work out with you?" He said "yeh" and then I asked him if he was going to actually work out with me or if he was going to do me like his mom (we all three used to go to the gym every night...this was before I started working 11-7) and I go my way and he goes his way with his buddies. He told me no, that we would work out together, he said although there would be some nights we would be on our own because there were some things I "couldn't" do that he would be doing. I don't know what he meant by that but if I am going to be working out with the weights I am going to be working it all.
So, I guess were are all wondering how goes the weight thing...since the last RED update I have lost another five pounds, for a total of 27 pounds I have lost and kept off. And I feel damned proud about it. Seems that alot of people have noticed that I have been losing because they have been pointing it out to his mom (we work at the same store, she works my nights off, and we see the same people and they have asked her what I am doing and stuff like that). I put on a pair of pants Thursday, that I haven't wore in about three weeks and it wasn't until I was trying on a pair of boots that I noticed how loose they were in the legs. I was like "WOW". Not only that but on the way in the store it was so funny....we were walking across the parking lot and I smoothed out my shirt against my stomach a couple of times (it was a loose shirt so it wasn't like there were wrinkles or anything) and Tony asked me what I was doing and I smiled and said nothing. He asked me again and I said nothing and then he smiled and said you were feeling how flat your stomach has gotten. Rings that didn't fit my fingers now fit, as well as the rings twist around the finger and rings that once fit now do not. I don't wear my class ring anymore because I am afraid that I will lose it.
Well, Lobo, I have taken your advice about the clothes thing....so I brought a pair of boots. Black granny boots, laces up the front, little diamond studs on the side with a black stitched design. I don't think I will be losing very much weight in the feet or ankle area, because for me to be as big as I am I very dainty and small ankles.
Another thing that made me feel good....the boyfriend and I were riding in the car, on the way to GNC. And he had his hand on my leg (which there has been alot of that these past couple of weeks) and he said "Remember when I couldn't put my hand on your leg?" As silly as it sounds...that has to be one of the sweetest things he's ever said to me...it was music to my ears.
So, that's what's up with me.....Oh, I have a question.....should i wear the weights on my ankles or my wrists. Which do you think would be better??

She asked me when her son got so old fashioned and then told me about the outfit that she wore when they went out. It was a black spandexish pair of pants and a black shirt and there was a slit across the front that showed her cleavage and just as soon as they came home he walked straight to his dad's room and asked him how he could let her walk out wearing that. His dad said that she was 60 years old (who looks earliers fortiest mind you) and she could wear what she wanted.
