It's been almost 2 months since I started the Biggest Loser. I've lost a total of 13.6 pounds which is awesome. I'll probably lose my goal of 30 pounds by mid-April if I keep this up. One of my nurses has even told me I can come look through her old clothes and she has a swimming suit that would fit me. Which is cool because the one I have is almost 5 years old and I need a new one. Once I'm not so sick I'll start exercising. Maybe walking or something small to start. I did get my Wii though! Awesome! I played for 30 minutes by myself one day and kicked my ass. I started off slow with bowling, then tennis, and ended with boxing. Boxing is a workout! I was sweating by the time I was done. It was fun though. Now I need to keep doing it so the pounds will just come off. I couldn't tell I was losing weight until Thursday morning when I went into my mom and dad's room and saw myself in their bathroom mirror. I had on a nightgown that about 2 months ago was pretty tight on me. And then Thursday, it was just hanging on me! Again, AWESOME!
Today I have on a surgical mask so I don't pollute the air of those around me. It's not on right, because if it was, my glasses get foggy, but at least I can breathe with my mouth open and not spread too many germs...or get any more hospital contagions than I already have or will get while working here. And yes, here's a lovely picture of me in what our student nurse Crystal calls my SARS mask:
It definitely doesn't look cute and neither do I...especially with the greasy looking hair and droopy eyes. Feel free to make fun of me all you want. :D
And I got an iPhone. I didn't deliberate much on that one. It's super awesome! Apparently "awesome" is my word of the day.

Alison,
You just plain freak mt out with that mask. You know I hate anything medical and you just look plain scary. Anyways, hope that you feel and get better soon. WAY TO GO with loosing those pounds. By the way, on your new iphone, why does your voice mail cut me off like within 5 seconds of me leaving a message? Glad that you like your phone though. Talk to you soon.
Love ya,
Amanda
i'm good at Lent.
way to go with the weight loss!! woot!
just to clarify, there are 64 calories in 1 oz of vodka (roughly). a vodka and diet is 2 WW points (which is how i measure nutritional value b/c they've brainwashed me.) since they usually contain at least 2 oz, the same ammt of points as a light beer. i thought i'd let you know so you don't run out to the liquor store and buy a bunch of hard stuff and call it "free". :)
however, i commend you! you're well on your way to being hard-core! let's see if you improve enough to sneak a flask into the No Doubt concert.

My sister does have a flask I might be able to borrow and tape it to my leg or something like that. Do they use metal detectors there yet because that will be the deciding factor. I would like to have a night of drinking and smoking and not having to worry about anyone but me...a concert seems like a good place to do that. I realized after the blog post that vodka was NOT "free" damn it. I can dream at least.
