and we are back!
Hello lovelies!
My apologies for being MIA - life has been terribly busy, and I also had second thoughts about posting about my 'weight loss journey.' The truth is, I am a bit obsessive about my weight, and I thought perhaps posting on here was not the healthiest thing to be doing.
However, I have decided that it's okay because it is simply a good way to keep track of things for my own sake.
OTHER EXCITING (!!!) NEWS : I completed a really great run yesterday! It was awesome and I am definitely rusty/out of shape, but it felt amazing to be back at it.
Hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday!
xoxo,
Lola

hello!
So sorry I have not been blogging, finals have been kicking my arse!
I haven't been doing great on eating well, but I have been doing okay.
AND EXCITING NEWS!
I signed up for a 10k on June 27th! This is very scary because I am pretty out of shape, so I am a little nervous--but I think it is the pressure I need to whip myself into shape!
Hope everyone is having a shiny day!!! :)

Believe me, I would love to be one of those people who's all; we loved, thank you, you enriched my life, now go and prosper.
But I'm much more; we didn't work out, now you need to not exist.
Thank you SATC.
I feel like life must have been so much easier before facebook and all of this online business, when you could just love someone and be hurt and then forget about their existence entirely.
Being friends with exes on facebook makes it hard to resist peeking at their stuff once in a while, and I still find that it affects me emotionally--even when it was a really long time ago? Does this happen to you?
I probably wouldn't think about certain exes at all if it weren't for facebook--but there is, and I'm forced to open it up to see photos of someone I loved canoodling with another woman, and I'm not going to lie, I STILL feel sick to my stomach because of it.
It's kind of silly and I know I'm over him... but does being over him mean he shouldn't affect my emotions at all?

it's the most wonderful time of the year?
Like many people, I look forward to summer, but this year I am NOT looking forward to purchasing a swim suit!
Lucky for me, I've been into one piece swimsuits for a few years...my fashion sensibility is chic above all, and I think the vast majority of bikinis are just plain tartish!
However, it is hard to find cool one-pieces. Last year, I rocked the marilyn-style bathing suit look, but I think it would look kind of bad on me now that I am a bit of a cow.
So, I am browsing bathing suits, trying to find one that is cool but won't look terrible on my sucky bod!
I think I have found one--I think it's sexy and modern and a little bit unique. It reminds me of the French Riviera. Perhaps not as chic as it could be, but I think extra pounds + a really classic suit=frumpy mcfrumpster!
Check it out:
'Tis cute, right?
It's also available in red and black, but I think the navy and black is more my vibe.
We shall see, I'm still looking around! If anyone has any suggestions, please do share!

Lola

food log for friday 5/1 (!)
WOAH when did May get here?! CRAZINESS!
Friday food:
Breakfast
Soy Milk, 1 c.--100
Protein Powder--110
Flax Seeds-27
Lunch
Breakfast sandwich:
English Muffin--132
Egg--141
American Cheese Slice--86
Cookie--141
Dinner
Croissant--231
Brie--200
Total Calories: 1,168
Percentages:
47% Fat (!!!)
32% Carbs
21% Protein
WELL unfortunately I did a poor job of planning and was at work (starving) so I was forced to eat a breakfast sandwich --it was either that or some really devilish pastries, I thought I'd be better with that, but perhaps I was wrong!
Also I had WAY too much fat (I blame the egg and cheese for this!) and most of it was BAD fat. So this is not good.
I've been writing down my food intake for a week now and I realised that my diet is not nearly as healthy as I thought it was--I knew it was too full of calories, but I always try to eat a 'clean' diet, and I at least thought I was getting proper nutrition, good fats, etc. HOW WRONG I WAS.
Goal for next week: try to get more protein in daily!
Happy Friday lovelies!

Lola
