Wedding Weightloss

A girl I went to high school with got married over the weekend.

Now I know a lot changed from high school to now...

(2008 was 8 whole years ago!)

but I've seen this girl recently & she hadn't changed that much.

On her wedding day, though,

her pre-wedding diet&running regimen definitely shined through.

She was never a "big" girl, but she looked skeletal.

Her soft body had lost every ounce of extra

exposing only her skin&bones

even her hipbones protruded under her lace&sparkly dress.

Obvs, I'm envious of her new&tiny look,

but she's not the first girl I've seen shrink substantially for her big day

and (generally) they pack it back on after the fact

so I'll have to keep a look out.

For her sake, I hope she maintains a healthy weight.

It's sad to think she'll forever look back on her wedding pictures

and never be as small as she was that one day

but maintaining that body when it's just not natural seems awful.

Good for her, though.

Running&Spinning-

Net: 800cals

A positive net is NO GOOD.

I need to be netting negative.

All this running and hard work

and I'm just drowning it with food.

This week I'll do better.

(and have much less to type!)

Sadly, I got on the scale over the weekend

(for the first time in a long time)

and the number wasn't pretty.

129lbs
At 5'3" that's not huge but not tiny.
The Mr. says it's because I'm "muscular"
and the only way I'll shrink is a "perfect diet."

Only a negative net will decrease that number.

Runs&Tunes

Not to toot my own horn,

but I think I'm doing excellent

with this half marathon training.

We did 5 miles last night.

First of all, I was barely out of breath ever.

Secondly, I kicked ass on the last 2 blocks:

s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g my stride

and carrying myself away from the Mr.

He said there was no way he could catch me,

which is nice to hear, cause he's very prideful.
3 quick miles this morning then 6 tomorrow.

I'm gonna kill this half marathon in 45 days.
I'm going to be thin&fit&tiny
and I'm going to conquer my goal
looking adorable while doing it - no doubt.

I've been cranking this on my commute

and repeating it throughout my runs.

Great tune. <3

SummerThinspo

I really wish The OC was on Netflix.
It's such a great thinspo show
and a wonderful summer-time show.
I should just buy it...
But it's so expensive
and I already own a million boxsets.

I watched Melrose Place 2.0 this week.

The series (an extension of Melrose from the 90's)

only lasted for one 18-episode season

but it was full of thin girls in TightDresses&TinyBikinis

and really made me want to go back to LA.

A nice moderate climate

and a surrounding of beautiful&fit people

is also a thinspiration living choice.

Half Marathon Training

The Mr.&I decided to train for a half marathon.

Well, basically, I decided and made a schedule

and he agreed since he's fat and needs the incentive.

April 29 was Day 1: a 4 mile fartlek.

I killed it on the straight away sprints

15 out of 16 - I kicked his butt.

And the rest is walking & slow jogging,

so that was easy enough.

I've actually felt pretty good

guess my cycling the past months has
"kept"my legs in shape.

I'll try to keep updates on the other 80 days.

Recap&Retry

I think my strict daily blogging rule

is what allows me to fall away so easily.

I get discouraged with a few days of catch-up

then give up entirely.

...not that any of you beautifuls have set these lofty goals for me...

so I think I'll cut back.

Maybe a weekly food&exercise log instead of daily

and more posts when I "feel it"

not because I have to.

To be honest, though, I didn't give up on my ambitions

even though I neglected .BeneathBones. so terribly.

My birthday was buried in these past 5 months

and I didn't even binge or gain.

I'm not sure what I weigh ...honestly.

I was going to get on the scale

...the battery was dead...

so I took it as a sign and stepped off.

I was fitted for a friend's bridesmaid dress

size 4

and since those dressed always run small

that was satisfying.

And I've consistently been running&spinning.

Gotta work a little more on my intake

but I'm not displeased.

And I've missed you, followers.

I will try to be better.

BlaBlaBlaRelationshit

I went MIA for a while

(Missing In Action - not Mia ...I wish, though.)

The boy&I basically called it quits.

He was being really shitty&useless

and I was sick of feeling like nothing&nobody.

I'd like to say I starved the frustration out of me.

But that isn't true.

I haven't gained, but I haven't lost.

I was mostly stagnant - in a blackout - doing nothing

well, besides drinking&laying

till about a month ago...

No good.

Now - I suppose - we're better,

though we have a long way to go if we wanna make it.

So, I've decided to wake back up.

Time to get my shit together

and pull myself to the surface.

Maybe I'll weigh myself next Monday.

Soon I'll expound upon my goals&motivations.

Summer's almost here...

thank fucking gawd.
