I'm Just Another Fat Girl

04/26/2011 285.2 lbs Today is a so-so day. I received some very valid constructive criticism today. It stung. Mostly because it's true. So I have an established position in my career. I've been in my industry for 7 years which is nothing to balk at. (I hate ending sentences in prepositions, btw.) You all know that mostly I'm clever, charming, witty and fun. Well, I also have a brain

Shame on Me

04/14/2011 283.0 lbs I have been so neglectful of my blog and my exercise. Shame on me. I'm peeking into the world of weight again. Just briefly. I have a lot going on. No excuse, just a fact. I will talk to you all very soon! -jafg

03/17/2011 281.3 lbs I wasn't going to post this, but when I was poaching my image from the St. Patty's Day post last year, I noticed my weight. I'm 12 lbs lighter. :-) To quote last year: I'm partying tonight. Don't worry, I've got tomorrow off and cab money for the ride home. Be safe! Have Fun! Go Green! -jafg May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.

Whirlwind Update

2011-03-16T14:49:00.001-05:00

03/16/2010 279.6 lbs That was yesterday's weight. Today...it's a little higher, so I think I'll stick with that. Kids, SO much has happened in the few weeks I've been gone. Firstly, I saw LDL. Boy, did I see him. A lot. Like many, many, many times. Repeatedly. I saw him. It was good. It was really good. I think you get the point. Secondly, I haven't hit my gym up with Li'l Bit

2011-02-21T10:37:00.000-06:00

02/21/2011 283.2 lbs That is definitely yesterday's weight. I was in such a hurry to be on time this morning (which, might I add, I was 4 minutes early) that I forgot to weigh myself. And I really wanted to, too. I didn't work out Friday night. I just checked out. I went home and immediately cracked open a beer (which is actually a rarity to have in the house). I just wasn't down with

02/18/2011 283.8 lbs That was from like two days ago. Or maybe yesterday. My ass is flat. And I mean very, very flat. We're talking square pizzabox flat. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Usually about this time (2:00 in the afternoon on a workday) I really start thinking about it. Most of the time I realize that I haven't stood to go to the bathroom, go to the printer or even

02/03/2011 ???.? lbs I know what that number is but weight is a reality that I choose not to face today. So today is the Chinese New Year. The Year of the Hare. I'm a hare. Well, really, if you read what the traits are for the hare, you'd laugh at that. Cause they don't match up. Except for the hyper-sexual-and-super-social part. And who thinks rabbits are super social, anyway?? It's

2011-01-24T17:01:00.000-06:00

01/24/2011 281.8 lbs I weighed myself yesterday. I figure it's still good today. I can't believe that it's already the last week of January. It's hard to believe that we're 24 days into a new year. Where does the time go? It seems like we're so focused on all the little details of things that don't really matter that it all just disappears without even being noticed. That's deep for

2011-01-14T13:16:00.000-06:00

01/14/2011 283.6 lbs That's for real this time. I did two amazing things this morning: I weighed myself and I got to work on time! Well, by 5 after 8. That's pretty much on time. Especially for me. So it's obvious that I'm not really doing anything to lose weight right now. I'm moderately thinking about what I eat, but that's about it. Mostly that includes not ordering anything with

01/13/2011 283.4 lbs I have a feeling I'm really going to hate that I've been guessing all week. So, I'm 35. I don't look it, actually most people are shocked when they find out. I'm usually guessed at about 26-29. Although, I really don't believe the people who say 26, I do so LOVE the people who say 29. Hell, Even the ones that guess 32. I believe it's because #1 I've got a full face

2011-01-12T16:39:00.001-06:00

01/12/2011 283.4 lbs I'm sticking with yesterday's guess. I've been on Facebook as Just Another Fat Girl for awhile. It's really weird because I get tons and tons of friend requests. TONS and TONS. I'm not kidding. I had to delete over 150 friend request emails alone from my inbox. And that doesn't include all the "fan page suggestions". I look at these accounts and I wonder how the hell

01/11/11 283.4 lbs I'm guessing. So the last post told you about a rather low day in the life. We all have those. I try to find the funny side, let someone else find the funny side, or something to poke fun at and move on. So I did. Bygones. Tonight I can't stop my brain from running. I'm all over the place. And then I get an unexpected wext (that's work-out text) from Angela Pea.

12/20/2010 281.4 lbs I didn't want to weigh this morning, but I did it anyway. For the sake of the Blog. Thursday night I made a chicken casserole. I had it at a Christmas dinner earlier this month and decided to make it for dinner myself. It's pretty basic. Chicken, campbell's soup, sour cream, and crushed crackers on top. And a stick of butter. Yeah, a whole stick. Well, I substituted

12/16/2010 2??.? lbs I haven't weighed in the past few days. The last time, though, the figure had managed to creep back up to above the 280 mark...not by much but enough to make me very uncomfortable. It's been THREE long, silent months since my last posting. I have no excuse for it, there's no backsliding, no deep, dark depression, just a lot of mis-managed time and real-life stuff. I

09/15/10 278.2 lbs Well, I'm back. It's been a month almost to the day. I've maintained weight for the most part which is saying something I think. So, yeah. I have no idea what really caused the shunning of the blog but, sometimes it happens. I even stopped checking my bloggy email. Wanna know why? Well, I kept getting comments. I kept getting "Where Are You?" notes. Basically, I was

An Unexpected Turn

2010-08-16T15:41:00.000-05:00

04/16/10 276.2 lbs Ok. For the record: Saturday morning said 273.6 lbs and Sunday afternoon said 273.0 lbs. To say this morning was a disappointment would be an understatement. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the box of macaroni and cheese I ate for dinner last night or the gallon or so of Royal Flush shots consumed over the weekend. You know I have a little weight tracker at the bottom

08/13/10 275.5 lbs I had that coming. Without regaling you with all the gory details, I consumed about 2400 calories yesterday and had no extracurricular activities. Half of those were after 8:00pm. Shame on me. Happy Friday The 13th, Y'all! Let the good times roll! The bachelorette party is this weekend. It kicks off tomorrow at 10:00am when we hit the road and goes until we come home

That's Lord of the Rings. I don't dress up as weird characters but I waited in line 2 hours for the opening day of X-Men X2. So what's my point, here. My point is Save the Cheerleader, Save the

08/06/10 278.2 lbs I stayed home from work today. I'm physically exhausted. I spent most of the day in bed. I am up now. I ate a peanut butter jelly sandwich and a glass of soymilk. I'm still a little wiped with a headache. This 7 days is hard. I've pushed myself to the limit each day. Today, I think I'll just play a little Wii ping pong or something.

So I totally kicked some elliptical ass last night with Amanda. She has a serious workout plan. She does lunges and upper body work and lower body work and treadmill work and she's crazy. Just sayin.

07/08/10 I didn't weigh myself today. I thought about it, but then I got busy with other things. I had a fantastic time at The LakeHouse over the weekend. I then proceded to do not a damn thing on Sunday afternoon and Monday. I slept, I ate, I watched TV, I washed some clothes, I washed bed linens. That's pretty much it.

There are so many kinds and each one seems to be different. This one was more like pedalling a bike than any other I've been on. I didn't like it AT ALL.

I've decided to bring some good, portable friuts and veg to the Lakehouse. I mean, who doesn't love a banana? I just bought two "tankini" tops and a pair of girl swim-shorts from Land's End.

I woke up before 6:00am, got out of bed by 6:10 and was dressed and at Concierge Gym by 6:30. Some chick was on my favorite elliptical which made me cuss.

There was no stress or unhappiness or other reason to fall off the wagon, it just seems right now, I am in this funk. Things are going well but I can't seem to get my emotions on the same page. I am wondering if this is a late blooming sort of fat withdrawal. According to myfitnesspal, I've

The Hate Side of My Love/Hate Relationship With The World Of Weight

2010-05-21T15:35:00.000-05:00

05/21/10 278.2 lbs *Warning: Cranky JAFG Ahead* I'm really not sure what to think. Since this little bloggin space's inception, I've not been this low on the scale. I'm freakin happy! BUT...I have this overwhelming need to walk around and whisper I've lost 18 lbs because if I say it too loud, it might jinx it or something. Like when people whisper *cancer* or *prison*. So yeah, I've

05/20/10 279.0 lbs I. Am. So. Happy. Right. NOW! That's 17.2 lbs off. I'm almost to a -20 lb milestone. My head could explode I'm so happy right now. I hope it doesn't, but I bet it could. Or, that could be Sinuses. In case you're wondering and even if you're not, the title today is in honor of my new "decade". This is the song that reached #1 this week in 1979. Get it? '79? Cute, huh

05/17/10 285.0 lbs Damnit. I am seriously considering a water fast. At least for 24 hours. I need SOMETHING to jumpstart the weightloss again. I want SO badly to see the 70's I can't stand it! I've had three days of business travel hell. I got up at 4:30 AM Wednesday morning and got home at 12:10 AM Friday night. Well, actually, that would be Saturday morning. What. A. Nightmare. I

05/11/10 283.2 lbs I didn't weigh again. I just used my weight record from earlier today. I never post more than once a day. Sometimes I don't even post once a day. But I have something special to share with you and I couldn't wait. Plus the next three days are going to be full of a work conference. I left work early today to get my final preps for the trip. I took advantage to get in a

05/11/10 283.2 lbs I've known this week was coming all year. I fly tomorrow. I hate flying. Not the flying so much, but the squishing into airplane seats. Fortunately, I'll be on a plane for 50 minutes and then on a plane for 2.5 hours. There's a bit of a break in between. Not much of one, but still. I really wanted to be under 280 lbs for this trip and thought that since I'd been

05/10/10 283.4 lbs Over the weekend Scale told me I was at 286.2 lbs. WHAT. THE. HELL. There's a whole mental saga that played out over the next two days but the end of the story is, I kicked my own ass, stopped feeling sorry for myself, and have changed my thinking to "every workout is last chance workout". So, Mom's day was G-R-R-R-ATE (I'm using phonix, friends). Moms and I had sushi

If you said Cinco de Mayo, you're wrong. I mean, you're right, but you're wrong. Today is Love Another Blogger Day.

05/04/10 283.4 lbs I have to get on an airplane next Wednesday morning and I'm hoping to break into the 70's by then. I was really hoping for a solid 275 lbs, but I don't know if that's still doable now. We'll keep trying. Sit back and relax. This is gonna be a long one. Ok, so I've not been a healthy feeling JAFG the past few days. I even missed work yesterday which means I missed HHH class

I know I'm a snarky little blogger, but I do have sincere moments and this is one of them. I really appreciate you folks taking time to send me comment love. I smiled when I read each one of them and they really did warm my heart. As you know I had a brown food day

2010-04-29T14:26:00.000-05:00

04/29/10 284.2 lbs I blew it today. I had a FRIED lunch. Chicken, Fries, and a buscuit. I feel kinda bad about it. It was a conscious decision too. I was meeting one of my friends out for lunch for his birthday (he turned 24; isn't that cute?). He's a kid that used to work with me and we hit it off. He's really a sweetie pie. He's getting married to his little girlfriend next year. So

04/28/2010 284.2 lbs I feel a difference in my clothes. I got all excited because I found these workout shorts I bought at the end of last year to sleep in. I brought them with me to BFF's house over New Year's and totally left them in the suitcase. I used that suitcase for the SAG Birthday Bash trip and found the shorts! They totally fit differently too! They don't "hug" my jiggle in the

04/27/10 285.6 lbs Overall, this is pretty good. However, when I tell you that Scale said on Saturday that I had made it to 283.8 (I checked it twice) and then yesterday said I was at 287.2 you see there's not much room for excitment or sadness. Still, I'll take this as a victory. Look, I figured up the caloric intake of the adult beverages consumed for this birthday bash and it totals 1688

Go recycle something like the carbs you ate at lunch.....use them as fuel for a walk outside or something. I'm heading on a big 3-0 birthday bash trip this weekend. Not mine...I'm older than that. SAG is turning 30. Awesome! It should be fun.

04/21/10 286.0 lbs I held my breath and got on the scale twice this morning. I've lost 10 lbs since picking up this whole exercise thing! It's been a lot slower than I would have liked. On March 23 (and even before I started blogging again to be honest) I had hit 296.+ lbs. That's horrible. I don't ever want to have to say that or think that or write that again. Ever. It's been a

04/20/10 288.2 lbs Yesterday it said 287. That'll teach me not to blog when I lose poundage. So I've been working out with SAG and BB for a few weeks now. It's pretty cool. I actually joined the Gym on Friday and worked out as a new member. With SAG. And I think she's kinda impressed that I can mostly push through the panting and the puffing when trying to keep up with her. She will run

Back to my very first post. Firstly, I see that my weight is like 287.6 lbs. I could be dissapointed, but I'll look at it as "Wow, I've managed to balance my weight for almost a year." I was also

BB and her Beau backed out of excercising this morning and in stead of rolling over and going back to sleep, I did the right thing and worked out with Jenny McCarthy. Don't ever tell her you've got weights. All she'll do

I've been tweeting my little heart out since last we met because it's so much easier to type 144 characters than to sit down and commit 30 to 45 minutes to blog writing. Or even an hour.

I'm trying to see how to post them here without revealing any of my super secret identity. Stay Tuned. For those of you who actually read my blog, you may have guessed from the title that I met up with The Hill again last night. BB was quite a little motivator and

For the time being, anyway. It's great having a "chubby buddy" to work with. Don't know what a chubby budy is? Well, more on that later.

I simply got busy and like most of my diet expiditions, I relapsed by not putting the effort into blogging. Shame on me. I missed you people!

I've just never gotten past the fact that there are people out there that are watching it to make fun of fat people or

I also had to be tested for strep and flu. This means they stick long cotton swabs down your thoat and up your nose. I'm not bitter. I am pretty excited about the weight, though.

It was a business event and since I'm still new to this town, I don't know many folks in my business. I'm working on it, though. Well, as the event title suggested, there was plenty of wine and cheese. The wine was mediocre, but the cheese was fantastic. I

It's not what I started out to get, but I'm glad I went with this rather than a mushroom swiss burger and fries from some other place. Great, I just dropped some chili on my blouse. Good thing it's synthetic material; I just sponged it off without a problem. I have to

I didn't think apartment living would be good for a dog. Now, I can't imagine life without my cat. I heart him! Well, I did nothing on Friday night except watch True Blood Season Two.

Loves to play, doesn't jump on you when you walk into the room and also loves to be snuggled. AND is the softest dog you'll ever pet. Really. It's almost unnatural how soft this dog is. I don't
