March 18 An HONORABLE FAREWELL 2 my gurl BRITTANYIt was such a sad sad episode tonight!!!  She's the one that I have looked up to during this whole show and now she's gone. I can't believe that Ali would take a girl out. All she's done is set herself up for hard times in the end when there is only guys left. But I am sure it was an aliance thing. She probably settled for 2nd place because I know she's not going to get first place. Anyway, can you tell I'm a little mad at Ali? hehe anyway, Brittany looks great!!! She's my gurl!!! Peace and Love...Olivia March 03 I feel like such a failure!!!Well it's obviously been a while since I have been on. Unfortunately, I have to report that I am back to square one.  My main factor is school. I started like the second week of February and I am taking 17 units which in the college world equals about 40 hours of work plus some overtime. They say that you should spend 3 hours per unit on class work outside of class...does that make sense? So that is about 51 hours of homework and that's not including the time I spend in class. Anyhow, I don't literally spend 51 hours because there is that great skill called scanning the text book!  Secondly, I have lost all my support. My sister who hasn't written a blog in like forever and has not kept up with me as far as our workouts and encouragement with the dieting aspect and my husband has begun to let me slack and well here, I haven't really met any steady support. I still continue to watch the Biggest Loser but I want sooooo badly to get back on track again. I feel so distant from where I was that I don't even know how to begin to get back on track. So any tips would help. I still continue to paint my nails black but it's more like my new fashion than my weightloss reminder. UGH!!! DOES ANYONE FEEL MY PAIN!!!!   anyhow, I hope you are all doing well. Always know that someone out there is doing worse I guess...ttyl  OliviaFebruary 12 What a Day!Today was my first day of spring semester and it was just such a hectic day. First of all, I had to crash every class I had today which I didn't even get all of them. Then because I don't qualify for financial aid, I went to get a book loan and they were all out of funding already (and school barely started yesterday!), then, I tried to sign up for a school program that basically helps you get through school with frequent counseling, tutoring, etc. and she wouldn't help me because I didn't know my G number (my school ID number). Days like this could just make a person go crazy...and make poor food choices. Well two things that went well today (besides getting into some classes) was one, I applied for Associated Student Government which I feel confident in getting because I hit it off with some of the current members, and two, through all my stress, I ate GOOD! This morning I had a bowl of Special K and a jello cup and then at school as I watched so many others pay for their greasy cheesburgers, fries, fried onion rings, fried chicken popcorn, pizza pockets, chips, soda, etc. I grabbed a big water, an apple, and a pre-made plain turkey sandwich. So I was super proud of myself. I have been dreading going back to school because I wondered if I was going to succumb to the pressures of what I usually used to get. (chips, ice cream, muffins, soda, etc.) Today was a good start. Hope you are all doing well. February 06 Bet u thought I gave up!!!Hello all my wonderful online supporters!!! I have been without the internet for what seems like an eternity!
 okay so it was only 5 days. I finally got a techy out to fix the problem. I wonder if they would let me skip a payment since the delay made me miss a homework assignment! (sorry...thinking out loud) Well, I am pleased to say that for week 4 I lost another 1.3 pounds! Not the best of numbers but when I look at the full picture, I have met my monthly goal of at least 5 pounds per month. So that's something to be proud about. About the Biggest Loser....I knew that was going to happen to Jackie. I told my husband before it happened and when it happened I was like didn't "I tell you!" but he shot down my ego by saying that anyone could have predicted that. Oh well. Anyhow, Carla and I have decided to paint our finger nails black. Since we are rooting for the black team, A.K.A the UNDERDOGS, we could not only show our spirit colors but it can also be our daily reminder of our goals. (who doesn't see their fingers when grabbing food....right? ) I'm excited. It's been a season for underdogs...the Giants, Mike Huckabee, the Black team, Me! Makes me think of a song from Audio Adrenaline...I'll have to load it so you all can hear it. Give me a Hootie Hoo Hoo for the UNDERDOGS! Man Brittany did great...She long beat me...She's my girl! Anyway, I hope you are all doing fabo-lus and begining to look and feel WON-DA-FUL. Wish me luck as I continue with week 5. I vistited some of your pages today...You guys are doing AWESOME! Ttyl OliviaOh p.s. I have to give a shot out to my very good friend who just gave me some wonderful news that she's expecting...finally! I'm so excited. January 29 WeEks Go FaSt WhEn uR dOiNg BaD!!!Well I can't believe we are starting week 4 already!! I lost 1/2 pound.  Ugh....I'm just tired of excuses as to why but I did do very poorly with the exception of Saturday and Sunday plus Aunt Flo was in town and usually it doesn't affect me much but this time around I got it bad. I wrote all the excuses I use in my journal and have vowed not to use them this week. Excuses such as: "This time won't hurt", "I did really good yesterday", "Well I'm working out tonight anyway", "I'm not really cutting things out, just watching my portions", "I can't do extreme dieting...I'm nursing", "It's the start of the week anyway". Yeah can you believe that!!?? I have used those excuses for the last two weeks and I do not want to hear them, nor do I want to think  them at all this week. I CAN DO IT!!! Someone just please remind me everyday about whether I used and excuse or not. In total I'm still at a 6.5 pound loss and I know I can do better. sniff sniff. I even brought out a diet that was given to me when I was pregnant with my first child because I had gestational diabetes. It's basically a well balanced, whole food plan. It was created at 2400 calories a day but I altered it to bring the calorie count down to 1600. I started on Saturday and had I not, I would have gained weight this past week. I even went to a birthday party  on Saturday and did not eat anything not even Trents food which I probably would have. That same day Carla tempted me to a sweet tea at Johnny's but I ordered it plain and put splenda. My husband, as I mentioned earlier, has started to diet with me too; he wants to lose 30 pounds and has already lost 8! NOT FAIR! I feel like that Slim Quick commercial where the lady is mad because she took drastic measures as to where he simply cut out things and lost a lot of weight and at the end she's like "Enough already! What, do you want to weigh zero?!" Yeah that's me. It makes it a lot easier for me though. I can make him the same thing I'm eating and not be tempted by what he's eating.  Carla and I had wanted to put up weight loss tickers like everyone else but decided to wait until we could at least get some numbers on it but I decided that I'm going to put ours up finally because if we wait for that, we'll never have a ticker. Well wish me luck as I venture off into week 4. Hope everyone is having better weigh-ins than mine. Have a great Week. Olivia |
