I DID IT!!!! i'm finally under 200 pounds. i went under on janurary 6, and as promised, Philander gave me my FIRST KISS!!! it wasn't that great...but it was still good. but i'm not sure if i still like him though. there's a guy named HOLT that commented on my blog the other day and i stocked his blog for a while and decided i like him :-) but he lives in st. george so i wont be able to meet him for another year or so when i'm ready for the marathon down there....but philander is rather romantic.

so to celebrate my first kiss i threw a party!! only Philander showed up though so really it wasn't much of a party. he had me do an ab workout with him and i'm starting to keep up with him pretty good. then we went out on a run for 6 miles and he still rode his bike by me. when i weighed in after i was 190 and he was 169 (6' 8'') and you know what they say when you boyfriend weighs less than you, you can get whatever you want if you sit on him hahahahahahahahahahhahahah i love that quote...winnie the pooh said it. he's a cute bear. but overall it was a nice day. sorry i don't blog so much..it's hard for me to type on the keyboard. but seriously. my life has been so much better not weighing so much.

today was wonderful!!!!!! But i have a cold sore though from kissing philander so much... but i don't mind (: i haven't seen him much this week though because he's been visiting his aunt's uncle's great great grandma and giving her skiing lessons. 

so todays run was fun. i went on a 10 miler with my friend Barb (she's my neighbor's cousin's friend from high school). the weather was kind of bad, there was SNOW EVERYWHERE!!! so i went out at 2 in the afternoon and finished around 5pm. i really am getting faster! I'm 79 pounds away from my goal! (please comment and tell me how excited you are about that!)... i went to my doctor today and he was really happy with me. He said my iron level is getting too low though so he said i need to eat more meat. so i went to my neighbors house and shot their dog that had been pooping all over my yard and ate him...cause you know what they say: dogs will go where dogs will go...unless there DEAD!!! hahahahahahhahahahahahhaha i love that quote, cause i hate dogs. but they have a pretty good taste. it's hott stuff! 

on a side note, Philander said he has a surprise for me on thursday! i'm so excited! i think it might be a ring! :-) hehehe

...today was terrible. I haven't slept for 36 hours, nor eaten. i mean, i've lost weight but its been really sad..ok let me start from the beginning:

So yesterday Philander called me and set up a breakfeast date. i was very excited because he was taking me to my favorite resturant: McDonalds!!! he said i could have as much food as i wanted to celebrate my success thus far. that night i went to get a pedicure, manicure, got a hair cut, and then went home and took a bath in oil and candles with a layer of vasaline, so that i'd be super soft ;) ...then i went to bed and set my alarm for 5 to get in 2 miles then get everything ready for my date at 9:30.

He picked me up and we set off for McDonalds. on the way we talked and laughed and sang to the songs on the radio..it was very romantic. he seemed to be building everything up for a proposal so i just went along with it. we got there and i ordered 10 different things which i wont mention. i got a seat in a corner where no one could see us and when he came back with our food, he set it down and then got to one knee!!!!! ...but he just tied his shoe and wiped his nose. anyway we continued to eat and then we finished, and NOTHING HAPPENED. i was so mad when he dropped me off, that i wouldn't even let him kiss me. i just got out of the car and went in my house then, crying, watched him drive away.

the next 3 hours i just sat on my couch thinking about what happened and realized, he didn't do anything wrong. maybe he just wasn't ready! i felt kind of bad, so i decided i'd drive to his house and apoligize and let him get some of my kisses! so i hopped on my scooter and went to his house a couple miles away. when i got to his house i went to the back of his house like i usually do before i knock on his door and looked through his back window. and there he was! kissing and playing footsies with another girl! i was in shock. i couldn't move. i started crying and ran back to the front of his house, grabbed my scooter and went home!

ever since then i've been crying on my couch, not being able to do anything but stare at the ceiling remembering that view. all this time i thought he loved me when he was with this other girl! i dont think i could ever forgive him! ...i dont know. i'll talk to him tomorrow about it and see what he was doing. maybe it was a stuffed animal or something...cause you know what they say: if you see your boyfriend making out with some other girl...it may be their stuffed animal!! hahahahahhoohhwaaaaa!!! i hope thats what it is :(

My heart aches for you. I feel your distress and pain. I fancy that you might be right about the stuffed animal: sometimes men behave in strange ways when they are stressed. Perhaps Philander is stressed about the proposal? Do you think that maybe you haven't given him enough encouragement and that might be why he's behaving out of character?

Although I'm no love doctor, I do have a suggestion that might help. Perhaps if you were to link up with the Saturday long run group, you would make Philander jealous: there are some serious rascals in that group.

This little plot development may force Philander's hand. How would he cope knowing you were running around with some of the big guns?

Maybe drop him a letter pretending to be somebody else, you know, bating him. Be careful though, he might spot those lower case i's and work out that it's you:)

From Janz on Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 17:56:23 from 71.219.81.179

I've given him PLENTY of hints. He knows i want to get married. As for joining saturday long run group, i don't want to make Philander jealous, because what if he really is cheating on me? then he'll think i've moved on with him and ditch me for that...girl!

I just don't know. i've never been in a situation like this. Does this mean he doesn't love me anymore? or is Bam right? am i just not giving him the hint that i want more...

From Bam on Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 07:55:37 from 89.126.28.24

I spent the night tossing and turning and thinking about your terrible predicament. It's so sad when somebody as caring and soft and warm as you indubitably are, is exposed to the horrors that men inflict on poor innocent women, especially women who appreciate the craft and technique of William Carlos Williams:)

So much depends upon our ability to rise above the faults, foibles, and follies of those we adore and love. But sometimes we have to tackle our concerns...

There's a red wheelbarrow in my garden and it's full of ping pong balls. Sometimes, when I'm angry with the world, I'll go and do some 200's -pushing the red wheelbarrow full of ping pong balls - at race pace; it quells my angst.

Often, when I finish these workouts, the blebs of sweat on my brow makes my forehead look like it's glazed with rain water. Maybe if you were to knock out such a session and then immediately invite Philander over to your house, he might think you have a fever and evince concern...This will show the depth of his love for you.

If he asks what ails you, tell him to go out into the garden and beside the white chickens, he'll find the contract that you reneged on so that you could be with him. If this doesn't work, your only hope, I fear, is a session with Doc Looper - he has the answers to everything:)

Please keep us posted with the racy details of your life - they sadden, and yet somehow, warm the cockels of my heart.

It's over...me and Philander are through. i never thought this day would come. i always dreamed we'd get married and die in each others arms. but fate did not agree with my idea.

After a rough night of tossing and turning i woke up looking at the ceiling again. slowly i got up and began making a light egg/tomato/spinach/shrimp/milk shake (with my secret ingredient:dirt) it brought me a bit more to life. then i went out to my grandma's track and (as Bam [my new friend{on the blog}] suggested) began doing 200's (without the wheelbarrow) i got to 16 before i fell on my face, and i started to cry again. then i got up and decided to find out the truth! i ran to his house and (without going to the back and checking in first) i broke down his door and walked right in. There he was playin' croquet! like everything was fine! i walked right up to him, and he asked if i was feeling ok, and that i looked sick. i stared back at him. then after a bit i asked him what he did after he dropped me off from our date.

His knees began to buckle and i could tell it wasn't his stuffed animal. After a while of him not saying anything, i knew it was true. so i walked right up to him, pinched his nose hard and ran out the door!

Now as i was running home i couldn't hold back the tears. I could hear Philander calling out for me from his house but of course i wasn't going to turn around after what he had done to me. But now i'm done. we're over. Philander made his choice and even if he still loves me and only did that because he was starving for affection, it doesn't matter. I will not stand for it.

All that matters to me now is getting my weight to where i want it and i'm sure i'll find another man to obsess over. I set up an appointment with Dr.Looper as Bam suggested and i'll have a chat with him about my problems this Monday. Maybe something will start up with him :-)

Superbness.

I'm in with the Doc on Monday too. Maybe we could do coffee after our respective appointments - just for a chat. We could talk about the benefits of wheelbarrow intervals and how they are good for general conditioning.

Welcome to the blog! It's so kind of Bam to be a mentor to you. I'm continually amazed by his goodness. You are so lucky. Your long runs are really good, so keep up the good work. You're a bit of a celebrity having been on Biggest Loser. Amazing that Kam and other BL fans aren't more familiar with you, but they must not have watched that season. Again, glad to have you here. It's nice to have such a variety of writing styles appearing under different names.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:23:25 from 155.219.241.10

I just noticed the aptly-named Philander joined the blog. Maybe you should flirt with Bam more to get him jealous.

From Bam on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:26:31 from 89.126.28.24

Joe, are you trying to get me in trouble with the old lady:)? I'm in serious training now. Haven't you seen Rocky? "Women weaken legs."

From Janz on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 16:51:10 from 71.219.81.179

Russ: I haven't been on the show since 2005, so they probably don't know me. And Yes Bam has been very kind to me.

SlowJoe: i have no idea who that new Philander is. but he is not my old boy friend. i think someone just made him up to annoy me or something.

Bam: I'm sorry if i've been ruining your training lately. You dont have to take me out anymore, we can just be blog friends :)

My sessions with Dr. Looper have been good. He's helped me a lot lately and i'm getting back into running. I joined a group that goes every morning and they are all very friendly. the 8 miles just ZOOMED by. i've felt very happy the past week. i think breaking up with Philander has been the best thing since the cow jumped over saturn...or was it the sun?? i dont know, but it doesnt matter, you know what i mean.

I've official joined that group now and i'll go with them 4 times a week. Dr. Looper is setting me up with a new trainer that will help me cut the remain 70 pounds. I'm sure his suggestion will be very efficant and i'll lose it in no time! Just uploaded my steak box! I'll be eating well tonight (:

Btw thank you all for you comments, its been very fun for me to read them!

first of all, i'd like to clarify the whole Philander thing. that person who claims to be him on this blog, is not. i recently found out who it really was: Remember how i went to see Dr. Looper on monday. well, i told him my whole story of course so he could give me advice (which he did) and turns out that a 14 year old immature boy had been listening behind the door the whole time! so he thought he'd play a joke on me and pretend to be him on the bog. But no worries, i found where he lived and sat on him till he promised to delete him and stop it. but if he doesn't just ignore whatever he says.

ANYWAY, met with the group again and went 6 miles at 9:30 pace. felt kind of sick and had to stop 4 times to use the restroom, but my group waited for me thankfully. I'm starting to make some really great friends! when i got home i streched a ton then is some P90X to work on my cardio. the man that Dr. Looper set me up with has been sending me workouts through email and it has been working very well.

P.S. i saw the girl philander made out with at kmart (she doesn't know who i am) and i went over and 'accidently' knocked her into the shelves...and she somehow got knocked out from that...so i didn't know what to do because i didnt want to touch her filthy body so i just ran away instead...because you know what they say: If you knock out a girl at kmart, Dont eat her hamster!  hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahaha oh man, i love that quote. anyway, i talked to you later!

Is Kmart a shop/supermarket?

I suspect that the 14 year-old boy might need to go and see Doc Looper - with apologies to Joseph Conrad, The trauma! The trauma! I suspect the boy experienced the true, Heart of Darkness!

I'm sorry to hear about Philander... I'd hate to be that guy who impersonated him. I hope a find a real Philander someday.

nice easy run with my group. planning on a 10k race next friday!!!!!! i'm SOOOOOOOOO excited. it will be amazing! my goal time is sub 1 hour. i know i can do this. i didn't get a lot of sleep last night because i was up late looking for a good race. none of the people from my group want to do it but i just really want to. if i cant find one i might just end up making one up around my house and have my dog time it. just kidding hahahahhah dogs can't do that. i'll probably ask Dr. Looper to do it after my appointment on wednesday. but if he can't i'll call my mom and she'll come over.

great week with good milage. no updates on Philander...i've had a couple people from the blog call and ask me about if and i'll tell everyone how i told the people who called me (from the blog) WE ARE done. thats all there is to be said.

My life is rather wonderful right now!

I think you'll go sub 55 - no qualms.

Help me out here, Janz. Some of the fellas are telling me that they shave their legs. Do American men shave their legs or are they taking the mickey?

From Janz on Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 16:33:00 from 71.219.81.179

you think? thanks! i really hope so.

well it really depends on the person. If you're part bear and you can't tell whether you're wearing pants or not...i'd shave them. but other than that no. i dont like it when men shave it. Some do because once they shave it, it get addicting and they have to keep doing it. or mabye they are uncomfortible with there legs so they feel shaving it will make them more attractive. some swimmers do it to make them faster and some runners give the same excuse. but i feel it doesnt affect runners whatsoever. does that answer your question or do i need to claify anything?

From Bam on Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 09:09:42 from 89.126.28.24

Race: the Peeping loop of Apples and Dogs! (6.214 Miles) 01:00:49
Total Distance

well i didn't find a race, but i didn't look very hard. i just thought it'd be easier to make my own and it was. but i did have to run the whole thing by myself becuase its my trainers day off and everyone in my group had to walk their dog...or so they told me.

so i marked the course with my cones and put a bottle of water ever 200 meters (just in case) and ordered porta potty's to be put at miles 3 and 5. i warmed up half a mile and dramaticly started the race. first half mile i was going 8 min pace (way to fast!) but i was hyped up from the thought of this being my first race so i just started flying. by mile one my time was 10:20 and i still felt good. by now i had only drank 4 of the bottles so i started to feel dehydrated, which i guess helped me go faster because i wanted to get to each bottle faster.

second mile was still good and under pace and i hit it at 10:28. the third mile was down hill and i skipped all the water bottles here because i knew i had to keep my momentum. once i hit the bottom i could feel the hurt in my legs and i really doubted whether i could do this or not. after a mental battle i decided and forge onward and i even skipped the first porta potty thinking i could hold it in the rest of the race. third time was 10:24. i was way ahead of pace. but then the 4 mile happened...

you're probably wondering why i named this race 'Peeping loop of Apples and dog' well this is why. during the 4th mile, i pass my neighbor Sebastian, and he saw me running by and jumps out of his house and sicks his dog on me (i think he doesn't like me because i accidently ran over his mom) so i see his dog taking off towards me and so i start sprinting because thats the first thing that came into my mind to do! after about 10 ft the dog was about to leap into my face for the strike and all of a sudden i ran into a tree causing an apple to fall and knock out the dog! so i threw the dog up the tree so Sebastian couldn't get him (he broke both his legs playing basketball) and continued with my race.

so after all this happened i remembered i was in a race and looked at my watch and realized how far my pace fell off since i took the time to throw the dog up the tree (it took a couple tries) and this caused me to hit a 11:46:( bad.

i only had roughly 16 minutes and 30 seconds left to get my goal. luckily the next mile was down hill as well, and i really really just started to focus. i wanted to get under 1 hour so bad! 5th mile i'm proud to say was 8:44. but i couldn't hold in the water anymore! so i made a pit stop in the porta potty (15 seconds) and took off again.

well i was pretty tired after that last mile, but i really wanted to be done. also as i was running, i could see people in their house peeping out their window staring at me. i was so mad and self conscious so i went faster and right at mile 6 i hit 1 hour! 8:58. since i knew i wouldn't hit it i just sprinted it in sobbing getting a 48sec for the lst .214

well i didn't get my goal but i know i'm getting there. sorry it took so long for me to blog, i'm apply for a job at places and that has been taking up a lot of my time. I might take a couple days of running off because this really put a toll on my legs but i'll be back at it soon! ...plus my face kind of hurts from hitting that tree.

You should race more often.
