Hello everyone! A little late on the journal today as I had to work this morning. I decided to just go ahead and get the gym out of the way for today also, so that's checked off the old to-do list. I did forty-five minutes worth of resistance intervals on the precor, plus upper and lower body strength training. Rawr, I'm a beast!
So I'm having this new issue of attracting unwanted attention from the opposite sex. It's just a recent thing, perhaps something about one-derland lol. At the grocery store Saturday the cashier (male, of course) would not stop trying to talk to me about anything and everything. At first I thought he was just being friendly, but then I was like heeeeeyyyy, nobody is friendly anymore. My husband was with me, and as we left he was like "that guy was totally hitting on you"... ugh, my bad? Luckily for me, my husband isn't the jealous type, we are 100% comfortable in our relationship but it was awwwwkward. Then today at the gym I was doing my time on the precor with my ear buds in, and when I had like five minutes left to go I noticed a guy standing over my shoulder. It scared me and I about fell off the damn machine! I pull out my ear buds, and he says "How long have you got left, you've been on there forever!" I reply, "oh about five minutes", he replies back "wow you've out done me and I did thirty-five!". I think to myself, no shit Sherlock that's because I'm fitter than you are. I flash him an awkward leave me alone smile and he moves on. I don't get it, I wear my wedding rings everywhere and today I looked like an outright hobo lol. It is nice to be noticed, but I'm really not loving this as much as one would think. I'm starting to get a big head... "I know I'm attractive, you don't have a chance, leave me alone!". lol Oh pretty girl problems, right? (joking)
So anywho, I officially went all weekend without any ordering out! Healthy home cooked meals all weekend, whoop whoop! My goal for this week M-F is to not have any diet pop or crystal light. I've lost lots of weight while drinking crystal light, and diet pop every now and again, but I'm trying to get used to drinking only water (except on special occasions). It's going well. Also I'm cutting back on my coffee to two cups a day, as my heart has been a little racy lately and I think it might be the caffeine.
Well it's about lunch time and the hubs will be home soon so I best get on it! I hope everyone gets through the day unscathed :-) Much love <3

Great job going to the gym first thing! Unfortunately, turning away all those admirers is gonna be one of the downsides of losing the weight, but their loss is your husband's gain - ha ha. Keep up the good work!

I like that you continue to adjust the way you eat or the things you eat & drink *realisticly* while you are losing weight! It's the little changes that sometimes go unnoticed by us that keep the scale or tape measure stagnant.

Maybe they're noticing your confidence, along with the new look. You may be presenting yourself in a whole new way because you're more confindent and just feel good about yourself. People pick up on that and are drawn to it. You're just a hot mama and you have to deal with the consequences. :) I'm trying to drink more water too. I drink 1 diet pop and probably 2 cups of decaf coffee a day. I want to start trying to cut those out, but I don't know if I can do it. Good luck!!

Yeah, that unwanted attention can be tricky - does it really accompany the 'loss' or was it there all the time but our confidence wouldn't allow us to recognize it? I have seen a lot of women 'larger' than me still have men drooling at their feet but they have that confidence from the get-go, don't link it to the scale. Mine's always been scale related and I think sometimes it's what led to me failing on the loss (along with the disorders) because it does scare me to have too much attention. Fortunately time has taken care of that (aging... sigh..) and the attention hounds sniffing has decreased. Besides, you don't want ANYONE who wouldn't have noticed you at a different weight, right?

Hmmm, maybe it was there all along. I dont know though, could definitely be confidence related. Im not going to put weight hack on to keep the eyes off, but I might mat my hair up real good before I head out lol. J/k. And no, I wouldnt want anyone who wouldnt look twice when I was heavier. My husband as always supported me regardless of my width, very grateful to have him. :-) I think you can handle giving up one soda Mars, give it a go!

I think confidence definitely plays a role! Good luck on your new beverage goals!

Great job on the meal planning and since I do not have the unwanted attention problems I cannot speak on that. Have a great evening.

It's happened to me too, very weird. Grocery store, parking lots, red lights. Asked my hubby what he thought and he had no problem as long as they were only looking and not trying anything else. I guess men like to know others are paying attention??
