SuNoYo Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 @Snow White: Love you. Have all my support. Sun Body 46: My hair is growing back. My hair is growing back.Food 38: I ate roast lamb today. Normally I can't stand it. but today it was the right mix of tender and crunchy and full of vibrant flavour. Mon Body 47: Bit gross, but one of my toenails has been very thick and yellow due to an incident where something extremely heavy was dropped on my toe about eighteen months ago. Today, after weeks of conscientiously applying Grease Lightning (a Lush spot treatment with lots of tea tree oil and things like that in it) the nail was finally soft enough cut without any problems and now most of the yellow is gone! Do you have idea how ungood it is to have people asking if you had foot fungus/whatever because of a discoloured nail?! Now I don't have that problem. Food 40: Chicken mayonnaise sandwich (minus bread) Tue Body 48: My hips weren't out of place once during T'ai Chi and I managed to finally get the spin from move 2 to 3 in the dance down. I only overbalanced once too!Food 40: bacon. Specially a BLT minus the L. 4 Quote Loading...Loading...Loading...Reboot complete.Level 0 HobbitIntro ¦]"When all treasures are tried . . . truth is the fairest." - Langland Link to comment

Kishi Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I like my feet too. I love the arch, and the strength I can see in them. It's fun. Body: I like my beard a lot. I'mma miss it when I end up cutting it off. Food: My macros allow me to have heavy cream with my coffee and tea. You wouldn't think heavy cream plus tea plus lemon is so good, but you'd be surprised. 4 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

Stonie Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Haven't done one of these for a while but I noticed something the other day so woo!

UnlikelyHeroine Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Body: My eyes turn a crazy gorgeous, intense, almost alien green when I cry. Happening a lot lately. Day 42 of mono and I'm still feeling horrible, 6 papers due Tuesday at midnight which, if aren't turned in, will automatically disqualify me from graduating. Taking 19 credits and working 21 hours a week. Had a horribly frustrating political convention all day Saturday. I've slept a total of 10 hours the past 3 nights and I'm leaving on choir tour Wednesday morning at 5:45am. If you pray, please pray for me.

SuNoYo Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Body 48: Yesterday when doing my BBWW I added in single leg squats with chair assist. Except after the third squat I only needed the chair once. Fifteen squats total. Oh yeah.Body 49. When helping Mum clean out her wardrobe there was a lovely jumper that she didn't want to throw away, so she looked at the label and asked me to try it on. This jumper (aside from being a little older than me) was a size 12 - 14. I was being lazy and in my pyjamas so I was braless. It fit pretty damn well all things considered.Food 40: White chocolate chip cookie; so bad, yet so good. 1 Quote Loading...Loading...Loading...Reboot complete.Level 0 HobbitIntro ¦]"When all treasures are tried . . . truth is the fairest." - Langland Link to comment
Guzzi Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Body: I LOVE that I can wear skinny jeans now. I've never been slim enough to get away with it before, now I practically live in them.

SuNoYo Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thur Body 50: So now I only need assistance on the single leg squats for the last one or two squats (fifteen each leg or thirty total).Body 51. I think I have nice lips; they seem to have a nice shape.Food 41: Extra yummy gravy with the mince and mash. Fri Body 51: So looking at my legs when they're relaxed with feet on the settee I noticed that there was a strong curve towards the outside of my leg. Not just the muscle, I know I have muscley thighs, but. Well. I can see/feel my femur and trace its path along my upper leg under the muscle because there's less fat. Food 42: Ice cream: it's nice as a very rare treat. Sat Body 52: I have almost absurdly dainty feet, but I've always walked around indoors in socks, and a few months ago I downgraded to barefoot, even when it was really cold and now I go around barefoot one hundred percent of the time indoors. Minus maybe five minutes a day when I'm walking around getting ready to go out/coming back home and not de-socked yet. This means that in spite of their fairly fragile appearance my soles are actually fairly tough and that my feet in general are much more used to temperature extremes.Food 43: It's always hard to find things to love about Saturday's food. And today was actually more of an IF day than anything - I only ate between four pm and eleven pm. No hunger pangs or cravings. 1 Quote Loading...Loading...Loading...Reboot complete.Level 0 HobbitIntro ¦]"When all treasures are tried . . . truth is the fairest." - Langland Link to comment

SuNoYo Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sun Body 53: I set myself optional self-esteem goals each challenge. These are things I'd like to attain, but wouldn't be fussed about if I didn't during the challenge. One of my self-esteem challenges is to stop my form of self-harm - picking, nipping and eating at the skin around my nails. Today marks the third day in a row in which I haven't successfully picked at my skin at all; I have caught myself rubbing at the problem areas and staring at them and wanting to rip of the scabs, but no picking or ripping or nipping. Having job interview incentive helps a lot, but I'm looking at my hands and seeing the redness fading and the skin looking much less irregular and scarred. I only have two scabs now, both my on problem areas (thumbs). But I'm working on those too.But look at me! Marked reduction in picking and nipping and eating because I'm paying attention to it, breathing and all the things. Here's hoping I can keep going with it up to, and past the interview. Food 44: I actually liked the peas today. Mon Body 54: My face looks fairly boyish when I'm not wearing my glasses (which round out my face) and hair pulled back in a way that gives me the illusion of having a short back and sides. I like it because it shows how much weight I've lost in the face, it looks like a slightly round-rectangle but with cheekbones. Food 45: Chicken is a very versatile meat. 1 Quote Loading...Loading...Loading...Reboot complete.Level 0 HobbitIntro ¦]"When all treasures are tried . . . truth is the fairest." - Langland Link to comment
