So…..my wireless went out last night….awesome. This then led to the dreaded phone call with Charter this morning, ugh!
Surprisingly it went well. It’s something that couldn’t be fixed over the phone, so they are sending a technician sometime between 8 and 10 tomorrow morning. Normally they can’t get an open appointment for a couple days and they usually give you a time fram between 8 & 5….so tomorrow morning sometime before 10 was sounded pretty darn good to me :-)
I’m totally posting this while I’m connected to a unsecure network- so keep your fingers crossed for me. Hopefully I can get this posted and disconnect before anything happens to my computer. We shall see!
Are you ready for this??? I’m so excited :-)
So those of you that know me and have known me for a while….you know I’ve gained some weight since my younger days, ha! It’s so weird- I used to think I was so fat in high school, but when I look back on those pictures now, I was the same freaking size as everyone else. I don’t know what my deal was- I guess I had that typical high school thought process of never being skinny enough. Since I was like 12- I’ve always thought I was big. When I hit that junior high growth spurt- I was pretty much average sized from then until I hit about my early 20’s.
Then things got semi-stressful (just different things coming up here and there), school was super busy, I was never a super healthy eater, I always put other things first blah blah blah, etc etc etc. Now I’m here….bigger than I would prefer to be. I’m not saying I’m this huge obese person, I just want to lose a little weight- that’s all.
I’ve attempted to lose weight here and there, but I’ve never stuck with it. Something always comes up, things get busier and I fall off track. I don’t want to be one of those crazy dieters that no one wants to be around because they suck the fun out of EVERYTHING. Like for example, when my sister made all the delicious treats when I went to Bentonville. I wasn’t going to not eat any of it. She made it for me and she was excited. I just ate it and have been working out double since I got home. Believe it or not- I didn’t gain back anything back while I was there. I would have felt AWFUL showing up at her house and being like, “no- I can’t eat any of that….but thanks for being thoughtful.” Can we say stuck up??? That’s the girl I do not want to be. Besides- people shouldn’t have to adjust what they do to fit my weight loss venture- I just have to use self-control.
SO I’m working on getting a good balance and not being a snobby dieter :-) There’s nothing more annoying than that psycho energized, everything is butterflies and rainbows, I only eat flax seed- skinny person. It’s like that episode in Friends where Monica is trying to get Chandler to lose weight. She’s SOOOOOO annoying and drives everyone nuts! That’s who I DO NOT want to be :-)
SO HERE’S THE DEAL…….my weight loss venture is going to turn into a give away. It’s a win/win for all of us…let me explain :-)
Every two weeks- I’m going to post 1-) how many pounds I’ve lost since my last ‘weigh-in’ and 2-) how many inches I’ve lost since the last weigh-in. That part is my win- it gives me something to be accountable towards. I will announce that it’s a weigh-in day on my blog and you guys will leave a comment guessing how many pounds and inches you think I’ve lost for that 2 weeks. This is where you win. I will take all the people that guess the correct amount of weight lost and the people that guessed the correct inches lost during that two weeks. I’m assuming some people will guess the same number- so I’ll take all those people and use Random.org to select the winner.
Get it??? So there will be 2 winners every week. One will win for how many pounds lost and one will win for how many inches lost.
Here’s what you win……………$10/pound lost or $10/inch lost, to go towards a shoot. Obviously you have to win in order to get the $10/pound. For example; if I lose 4 lbs during one 2-week round and you guessed 4lbs and were selected by random.org as the winner….you would get $40 to put towards a shoot. Same goes for inches.
AND (I know you’re not supposed to start a sentence with ‘and’, but when has this blog ever been grammatically correct??? NEVER!) I’m going to round -up when I announce the numbers :-) Obviously I will keep track of the exact amount for personal reasons, but for you guys, I will round up :-) That means that if I lose 4.5 pounds in a 2 week period- I will say it was a flat 5lbs….that way you get $50 instead of $40!!! You can really rack up some credit towards a shoot :-) You can chose when you want to cash out and put the money towards your shoot.
I’m not setting a goal weight (because I don’t want to put a limit on the winnings for you all), but I am setting a end date to the competition. The give away will end on July 4th. I thought it was a fun date :-) So that means you guys have 12 chances (really 24 because it’s pounds and inches) to win!!! Who knows- I could decided to pick multiple winners every now and then!!! That will increase your earnings even more :-) P.S.- I think added that correctly, but someone please tell me if it’s not 12 weigh in’s between January 17th and July 4th….with two week increments??
Obviously this isn’t a science and you’re just going to have to wing your answers and it will be mostly luck if you win….but hey- it’s still fun, right?? Why not do it?? If you plan on doing a shoot with me within the next year or so- this could be your chance to get some credit to go towards it. Like I said- you can “cash out” at anytime and put the credit towards your shoot. You don’t have to wait until July 4th. Do keep in mind that once you decide to “cash out” and put your earnings towards a shoot before July 4th- you’re done with the competition. You can’t start up again.
So….sound like fun??? I’m excited :-)
I will make a spreadsheet that will be posted every time the winners are announced. It will keep track of everyone’s winnings. This all starts today, so my first weigh-in will be on January 31st. Get ready!!!

Sara says
I promise – no more treats but thanks for indulging a little!!! I know you will do awesome but keep in mind just how beautiful you are right now! I will try to support you because I know I am the worst when people start dietting so remember – you are what you eat so go eat that really skinny person! HA HA HA – remember that card you gave me. I found it yesterday and it still cracks me up everytime!
smithstories says
Lissy Jordan…you are such a BEAUTIFUL girl!! Beauty comes from the inside, but lucky for you – you exude it from the outside too! Weight is about being comfortable, so I support you on your comfort journey:) Baby and I will eat treats for you until you’re ready to take that task back over!! You’re a doll!!
Mindi says
Love this idea! Moving to TX I gained some weight and need to get it off. No motivation. Have been eating somewhat healthy for 8 days. Yesterday and today weren’t the best. I would do better if I would exercise but just not a fan. :)
Leah says
I’m excited to play! =)
Andy Early says
I’m sure mom would let you have the NordicTrack and wind breaker outfit dad gave her for Christmas that one year. I think this is the first time I have ever commented on your blog but I could not resist the jab at dad and his hit and miss gifts…remember the hookah??? Anyway, best of luck with your quest, I think you can still get away with eating as many applesauce oatmeal chocolate chip cookies as you want…fruit and grains, a well balanced snack.
Mom says
I love, love, love when the creative juices start racing through your brain like a pinball machine – I can’t wait to see the pictures that will be the end result of the creative process….
I think you’re beautiful just the way you are – inside and out – always have and always will!!
I agree with Andy – applesauce oatmeal chocolate cookies are good for you!
Kathy says
Applesauce oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! They have the fruit and grain food groups (and chocolate is its own yummy food group). Good luck, Lissy!
Allison says
Talk about accountability! Good luck Lis. Oh and just use dark chocolate chips to make the cookies more heart healthy ;0). I think when people hear the name for those cookies, they think they are healthy and we substitute the butter or oil with applesauce. They don’t realize there is also a stick and a half of butter-yum.
Mom says
Allison, you do not have to tell all the family secrets!
Amanda says
Lissy,
First and the most important – You are BEAUTIFUL like Mom said both inside and out. Second – You Go Girl!!!! Love you and oatmeal applesauce chocolate chip cookies.
Love,
Amanda
Tanya says
Oh Lissy you crack me up! I know exactly how you feel. I have looked back at high school pictures and thought the same thing. I wish you the very best! I joined the YMCA in October & have an exercise buddy. Unfortunately there are days that I ditch her because a cold miller lite sounds better than the elliptical! I just tell her I’m having a Killday day…You have the right mind set!
Barb Abernethy says
that’s too funny Tanya. I used to exercise (can’t remember the machine but sort of a rower) and drink Bud Light while I watched Mizzou basketball. People said I was defeating the purpose and I said I can drink the beer because I am exercising. Seems logical.
As for you Miss Lissy….good luck on your diet quest, but stay healthy and keep some room for those margaritas you like so well. I think there’s the Skinny Girl Margarita.
Caroline says
I have been eating a whole chocolate Santa candy bar every night before I go to bed since Christmas…. I have also been setting my alarm to get up early and workout before school. I hit the snooze button every single morning!! O well. Maybe tomorrow. Haha, yeah right! You are pretty ambitious though, so I have feeling you will succeed.

I’m curious to find out what blog system you happen to be utilizing? I’m having some small security issues with my latest site and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?|
