So this morning I saw 120.5 on the scale. YES! And I didn't eat too much today so hopefully it'll stay that way.
And I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 today finally. With something like this waiting 3 days to see it feels like an eternity. I cried like a baby. A least during the epilogue. It's all over for me, and now I feel obligated to read all 7 books again, read some super good fanon, watch the movies, and join Pottermore when that gets started up. Oh and visit the theme park. I can't believe that was it. J.K. Rowling, you better write seven more books about Harry's kids. And now that no one's trying to maliciously kill anyone else, this time around you can focus solely on social drama. Yay!
Super short post today. I have to go to bed because I have work in the morning. I hope I have some good news for you all tomorrow!

Long-ish post. Please bear with me.
77 followers. I don't feel like I deserve 77 followers seeing as
1) I only post 1-3 times a week now and
2) I have lost zero weight in what? a month? more than a month?
Yes I'm still at 122, but I deserve it. I've been doing a limited amount of exercise and have been eating whatever I want (although never enough to make me feel painfully full or anything like that). Dance classes started on Saturday. I'm still trying to figure out what classes are right for me but I'm for sure taking a leaps/turns technique class and some sort of ballet class.
K- First off your English is fine! Better than some people on the internet who grew up with it as their first language. I was on my dance team in high school and we did some jazz but mostly drill team/military style dancing. Since I've been in college I've focused on jazz and I'm really looking to improve my turns and jumps technically as I'm trying to make my university's dance team. And gymnastics? I just could not ever imagine doing all those flips and stuff, I'd be way too afraid of getting hurt! But I respect anyone who has the discipline to stick with it into adulthood.
Olivia- I knooooooooooooooow. I swore I would text you if I ever ended up doing a market but I've been scheduled to work at the theater every. single. Saturday. And now on top of it I have dance class on Saturday too, so basically I probably won't be doing a Saturday market all summer. And if I do Wednesday classes I won't be able to do those markets either! I'm bummed because I really wanted to introduce you to my parents, and meeting Boy would have been so nice! Damn, I guess we'll just have to wait until September. I'm sorry, I really was hoping to see you there this summer. =(
Well, other than bad food news I got to spend some quality time with Aaron Sunday night when I slept over at his dad's house. Basically when he lives with his dad he's in this huge city with tons to do and we just sat around watching Harry Potter and, as he likes to call it, having a little "slap and tickle" (sorry if that was tmi). ^_~
But we did go see Horrible Bosses, which was pretty much as funny as I thought it would be. It was $7.75 well spent I guess.
Oh and speaking of money I've been stressing out about paying for next year's tuition and housing and all that stuff because I'm getting $5000 less than I did last year. Good news though because my housing and meal plan will cost less (apartment=less dining hall food) and hopefully I'll be able to get an on campus job in a mail room or at the gym or something. But anyway turns out I only have to pay $250 more a quarter than my financial aid will cover which is good! I thought it would be a lot more. So now I just have to worry about buying groceries and books.
So now I'm watching both Kill Bill volumes and I've already caught up on everyone's blogs. Is it just me or does it seem like everyone's posting a bit less? I know personally I just haven't had much time and I'm not exactly living up to what this blog is supposed to be about at the moment, but it just seems like summer is a bad time for blogging. Funny, you'd think there would be an influx of activity. Maybe we're all getting busy. I can relate.
Well, off to bed I suppose. Again I apologize for my lack of posting and my inability to lose any weight. I swear if I just wasn't working so much I'd be at least a few lbs thinner. But I'll take a maintain and earning money over a loss and earning no money any day. I always have the school year to lose that last 10, right?
♥ Toni
P.S.- Anyone watching this season's Big Brother? I just got into it after reading an article about the show and all I have to say is: what the fuck is up with Rachel and her annoying laugh? I really hope she doesn't stay in the house too much longer. Blegh.

Harry Potter is coming!!!
Olivia, you do always manage to see a silver lining. Thanks for making me feel a bit better, and you've been doing awesome adjusting to your new dietary needs. A few slip ups here and there will only make you stronger once you get through them. =)
75 followers! That's 3/4 of the way to 100. Wow. Thanks awesome blossoms!
So guess who got scheduled to work the HP7 pt. 2 premiere? This girl right here. And I can't even go to see the HP marathon my work is holding all week because my dad is lame and gives me a curfew of midnight. I'm nineteen. WTF? So I guess I'll have to settle on seeing the advanced employee screening of part 2 and getting to wear an HP5 Ron t-shirt to work for the premiere. Better than nothing I suppose.
Food has been ok. I think I'm eating a little less every day and I'm seeing very minute changes on the scale. I'm hoping for a weigh in of 121 after my dance class from 10-11:30am. And then I get to look forward to a 1:30-10pm shift right after that, so I won't have a ton of time to eat. Eh, right now I'm mostly worries about how much my dance classes will cost. If I take 3 that's already close to $130 for the month. =/
I only make about $160 a week and I need to save all I can for next year. I could be cutting it very close if I can't fit in an on-campus job. Life sucks.
Sorry this post is super short and not very food related, but I need some sleep for tomorrow.
Hope you all had a great day,
♥ Toni

Happy Father's Day (you know, because tons of my followers are dads, tee hee)
But seriously, I think this year was a pretty alright Father's Day. I got my dad a shirt from my university. :D
Like yesterday, I stayed on track again today. Part of that is due to the television believe it or not. I came home for summer to find that my parents switched to Xfinity and now we have On Demand, which means free exercise programs. I did, in total, probably an hour or so of pilates, cardio, abs, and thigh exercises. Now my inner thighs and glutes are sore, which is good. They haven't been sore in a long time.
I took my parents and sister out to a move for Father's Day. Now that I'm back to working I get the privilege of seeing free movies, so all I paid for was popcorn (if I had paid for all of us it would have been over $40!) We saw X-Men: First Class and I LOVED it. It was one of the best prequels I've ever seen. It was loads better than the Wolverine film. The story and acting was absolutely great.
Food was under my limit. My parents offered to cook my up eggs this morning but I just had a piece of french bread toast and butter (125 cal) with coffee (10 cal) and strawberries (25 cal). Then I didn't eat again until dinner before the movie. I ate 3.5 oz of tri tip (170 cal), a small potato with sour cream (70 cal), another piece of french bread toast (grilled with no butter; 80 cal), a few bites of caesar salad (25 cal), and a desert of my mom's home made cheese cake (130 cal). Then I had about a fifth of the small popcorn at the movies (145 cal). I'm downplaying the amount of calories I burned to 225 because I really have no clue how much I burned, but I know I was sweating! I'm sure I burned more, but better safe than sorry, right? So my total intake today was 780 and my net intake was 555 calories. Aaaaaand I weighed in at 121.25 lbs. Good day. =)
Other miscellaneous things I did today was clean out all of my thinspo folders. Some times the old stuff just doesn't elicit the same response from me, so I got rid of like 250 photos and added some more from tumblr. A lot of fitspo, which I'm really getting into, as are a few other bloggers I'm noticing.

I love her body
Sooooo taaaaaaaan
And a hello to hey.haha.Thanks for joining. ^_^
Shrinking Violet: Thank you! I'd really like to get rid of the rest of the little pooch on my belly but overall I think the difference in my body is really noticeable.And yes I thought JGL was so gorgeous in Inception, especially in all those suits.
Amber: Haha thanks for understanding my screen rant. And yeas, every day does make a difference. I'm glad I didn't decide to just keep screwing up because of one bad week.
Christy: Really? The whole time I was thinking "boy, I really want some chocolate, and gummi candy, and whipped cream, and sugar, and allthecandyintheworld!"
Sammy and Ulla: Doesn't Nolan just make the best movies? He's definitely my favorite modern director.

INCEPTION!!! (and thinspo)
Thank you astridwillbe50 for joining my blog
You're in a place of no judgement. =)
I'm currently watching Inception on HBO. It's my favorite movie and I'm very disappointed that HBO is playing it in fullscreen. If any of you are movie screen ratio savvy then you know that movie theater screen are very rectangular, and 75 mm film is formatted to make the picture look very wide, so that landscapes look humungous. TV screen are more square, so when movies air on television, they either air in widescreen (hence the thick black lines on the top and bottom of your tv screen) or in full screen, which means the edges of the film are cut off to make the picture small enough. It's just not the same. =/
But anyway I love Inception and Christopher Nolan and the score by Hans Zimmer and the story and the acting and the 4 Oscars the film won and everything about it! He was possessed with some radical notions...
I started work again today back at the movie theater. They put me on reg (concessions). It was an 8 hour day but I was glad to be back, and 3 of my co-workers commented on my weight loss! So anyway I had no time to eat and didn't eat much when I got back home. I only had a cup of coffee in the morning (10 cal), and when I got home I had an oatmeal raisin cookie (170 cal), a few bites of bread (75 cal), 1/4 of an apple danish (80 cal), and a home made soft taco (255 cal) for a total of 590 calories, which is 60 calories under my limit for the SGD!
FINALLY!
I finally stayed under my calories limits. Holy crap does it feel good, and today I weighed 122.25 to boot, .75 lbs under yesterday. I think I'm getting on the right track.
Ok and I actually took the after pics for the Pictures Page so check it out if you want.
Alright not much else to say for today. Got some thinspo though. :D
P.S. Now I'm watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This day is just getting better.

Maybe I'll at least hit Weight Goal #5.
I'm sorry for not commenting much the past few days...and I'm sorry I haven't been sticking to my eating goals.
First it was 118 lbs by this Saturday.
Then it changed to 120.
Now I'm moving it up to 121.
This is because yesterday I did spectacular, and then not so spectacular. I finished the day with only 245 calories, and had burned off 675 at the gym, so a net total of -430. I didn't weigh myself though. I wanted Friday's disaster to wear off a little. Then I went to go see Raiders of the Lost Ark with Aaron and my friends at the local movie theater (they do midnight movies every weekend with classics films). I had a hot chocolate, some popcorn, and Reese's Pieces. Even though I know it wasn't much, I must have eaten at least 450 more calories, bringing my total to 695 calories and my net total to 20 calories. Yes, I know that's actually really good but I really wanted to stick to my planned intake for the week. So I've compromised. I'll try to stick to losing only 2 lbs by Saturday - at least I'll be at my next weight goal. =)
Today I didn't fare so well. Throughout the day I've been feeling more and more sick. Sneezing, fatigue (despite 8 hours of sleep), soreness. The whole 9 yards. And I had the runs. Sorry, that was probably TMA. How did I cope? I ate and didn't exercise. I had a turkey sandwich (375 cal), a slice of pepperoni pizza (150 cal), a milkshake (at least 450 cal), french fries (didn't keep track), and some cookies (something like 200 cal). So well over 1,200 calories. Not a binge, not restriction. I feel awful just the same though. My only solace is that my RMR will probably balance it out and I'll be neutral when it comes to weight gain. Tomorrow I'll at least be getting exercise.
New plan: eat a maximum of 550 calories and burn at least 700 calories a day. Actually, all I need is a net total of -150. With a resting metabolic rate of 1,250 I should, mathematically, be at 121 lbs by Saturday.
Mini celebration I've been forgetting to mention: at 123 lbs I've officially lost 25 lbs since my highest goal weight last Thanksgiving.

P.S.- Could be my imagination, but I think my gap is ever so slightly bigger. Progress. :D

Before Gym
Alright this one's gotta be quick because I'm off to the gym soon.
First off thank you all who have been wishing me well with school and dieting and such, it means a lot. =)
And welcome to my new followers! =)
Last night I kept under my goal of 500. For lunch I had a bowl of vegan chili (55 cal), a medium banana (90 cal), and a serving of frosted flakes with 2% milk (170 cal) for a total of 315 calories. For dinner I had 1.5 oz of flank steak (80 cal), 3/4 cup of cooked zucchini (40 cal) and a medium salad with 1 tbsp of cesar dressing (40 cal) for a dinner total of 160 calories and a grand total of 475 calories.
I also finished up my essay and turned it in last night in my discussion. Afterwards I went back to the dorms and some of my friends and I watched Never Let Me Go. Such a sad movie...it made a lot of us (myself included!) cry. If you're into the whole love/melodrama/cloned-humans-who-live-to-donate-organs films then this one is perfect for you. It stars Carrey Mulligan, Keira Knightly, and Andrew Garfield (new Spider Man!).
Alright besides that not much went on last night. Oh! Except I made a trip to Safeway to buy some snacks for finals week. I spent ages trying to find things that looked tasty but were low-cal. It's was insanely hard for me. I ended up getting an 8-pack of Laughing Cow cheese triangles (35 calories/serving), 2 bags of mini cheese rice cakes (70 calories/9 cakes), a package of bagel crisps (130 calories/6 crisps), and Risens (approx 40 cal/piece). Not bad if I don't say so myself.
Ok gotta head off and do some cardio! I'll be back later.

Youtube is amazing
Thursday has been good to me so far. I had class this morning at 10 and when I came back I had a little something to eat and came back to my room to watch True Life: I Have an Eating Disorder on Youtube. Do you know how many eating disorder-related shows users put up on that site? It's amazing. Right now I'm in the middle of Intervention: Amy P. Earlier I did a little laundry before film class section and got my first essay back. B! I'm very happy because apparently more people got Cs and below, and you need a passing grade of a B- to declare the premajor, so I'm on my way. And when I got back I had American Beauty waiting for me in my mailbox. I love Kevin Spacey and Thora Birch in anything, but this especially. If you've never seen it, go.watch.it.
Nicole: Haha you don't say. I guess we both got a little junk in our trunk. In my case my mom's Mexican, so I got a big ol' booty, but I also don't exhibit any physical traits of being Mexican except for that, so I just look like a white girl with a big butt.
Ok so despite how relatively happy I am right now I'm so not in the mood for calculating my calories. It's just a hassle. I'm pretty sure I kept it around 800 calories though. For lunch I had a very small piece of cheese pizza (really small), 1 bite of some Indian chicken thing, 3 deviled egg halves, a small cobb salad with no dressing (but only with some tomato, 2 slices of avocado, and some bacon bits; no cheese, chicken, or egg), 10ish oz of orange juice, and a cone of chocolate/strawberry frozen yogurt. That all came to about 500 calories. Dinner was half of a strip of flank steak, 8 garlic sauteed baby carrots, 2 oz of tuna, and a serving of cinnamon toast crunch cereal with 2% milk. That was probably around 350? So something around 850 calories. Yuck. I am so happy I'm going to the gym tomorrow.
Hopefully I'll be in a better eating mood tomorrow. The wonky scale in the dorm bathroom put me at anywhere from 129-132 lbs, so I'm wishing for a good weigh-in.
Oh and hello to my new follower! Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay. =)
Until tomorrow,
♥ Toni
P.S.- My neck has been feeling really sore lately and cracking a lot. Does anyone have any tips for making it feel better?

Damn Tacos
Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely Wednesday. So far my day has consisted of nothing but class and required reading, although after this post I'll be watching the rest of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). It's one of the films I'm considering writing about for my film essay (which I just found out is due in two weeks, not one). You know, aliens as a representation of communism during the Cold War, the idea of conforming to society, yadda yadda yadda. Actually I think it should be a lot more fun than my last essay since it's my choice.
I've been starting to notice lately that my restriction mindset is finally starting to really kick in. I'm starting to feel my jeans get much looser, my belts are starting to notch tighter, the cellulite in my legs is getting less noticeable, and I can start to feel actual abs underneath the inch or so of fat I have in my belly. My weight is continuing to go down. Sometimes when I get up too fast I get lightheaded. I decline going to the dining hall half the time I'm asked. I'm feeling happier about my body, but I'm also verbally stating my happiness to others. Once I've lost another 5, 10, 15 pounds people will notice. I need to start flying under the radar when it comes to weight or else I'm sure someone will ask about it. I'm not sure if it was a mistake to tell Aaron I want to someday be 112 pounds as he likes my bigger body, but I think I reassured him when I said the healthy BMI range for my height is between 95 and 127 lbs, and I'm currently 5 lbs over that.
I had no time to go to the gym today, but I did do some intense stretching (if there is such a thing) for 20 minutes. At least it burned some calories - about 65. I really wanted my intake to be under 500 today, and it would have been if I hadn't eaten a damn taco and chips for dinner. Lunch was light-ish. I had 3 pieces of sushi (110 cal), a ciabatta roll (I think; it closely resembled ciabatta) (160 cal), a small salad with 1 1/2 tbsp ranch dressing (120 cal), and 3 bites of mac-n-cheese (30) for a lunch total of 420 calories. Between that and dinner I had a mint and a stick of gum (10 cal). I was planning on forgoing dinner altogether, so I have no idea why I ate. The food wasn't even that great. Well I already said I had a taco (150 cal) and a couple of tortilla chips with guacamole (60 cal), plus a few spoonfuls of veggie rice soup (25 cal) for a dinner total of 235 calories. Total for the day was 665 minus the 65 calories I burned comes to 600 calories. Hmph. Not good enough today. Well if I can I'll be going to the gym tomorrow and restricting as much as I can (but I'm definitely going to eat beforehand this time).
Alright, time for everyone's favorite part, thinspo!
I can't wait to roll my cotton shorts 3 or 4
times and my huge badonkadonk not peek out.
So much space between those thighs!
If you guessed that today's theme is girls with cute butts, then you are correct! Thin girls (if they aren't stuck with flat or square butts) almst always have a cute little bubble butt. I've always wanted one, but I've been stuck with my mom's bootylicious genes for as long as I can remember.
Wishing a wonderful evening to all,
♥ Toni
P.S. - How could I forget?! Hello to my new followers. =)
Thank you for your support and joining me on this journey, it means a lot. ^__^

Homework Day!
Hey girlies. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Thank you for all the comments to yesterday's post, I really appreciated them (it's nice to know when we all reach our goal weights we'll be all over the place in giant sweaters ^_^). And a big congrats to those who reached their own mini goals over the weekend! =)
Sadly I couldn't go to the gym today due to massive amounts of homework (and it's also closed tomorrow for the holiday, looks like I'm sticking to restricting until Tuesday). I have 200 pages in a book, 40 pages in a chapter, and dozens of pages in articles to read for classes by Tuesday and Wednesday. Plus I have a film essay due in two weeks. We have to analyze a film's form in relation to its ideology. Any suggestions? I was thinking about doing a film like American Beauty or The Shawshank Redemption. They're both high on my favorite movie list.
Anyway I only went to the dining hall twice today. Fortunately there wasn't much there that I wanted, so I think I ate. For lunch I had about 150 cal worth of mac-n-cheese. It was baked but I put all the breading to the side (it didn't taste very good anyway). I also had a small salad with a few slices of cucumber and 1/2 tbsp of cesar dressing (45 cal) and about 4 oz of oatmeal with brown sugar (115 cal) for a lunch total of 310 calories. Dinner was slightly worse. I had another salad (medium sized) with 1/2 tbsp sunflower seeds, 2 pieces of baby corn, some slices of cucumber, 3/4 tbsp feta cheese, and 1.25 tbsp ranch (160 cal), a small slice of cheese pizza (150 cal), and a small slice of apple, cranberry, and strawberry pie (250 cal) for a dinner total of 560 calories, which means my grand total is 870 calories. Ugh, not what I wanted today but what can you do? I always feel like I eat more when it's rainy outside.
But on to prettier thing, like thinspo!

I'm not sure you'll need much help in guessing the theme of tonight's bunch. ;) If only we could all look that good without a top on...
Well goodnight ladies and have a great tomorrow. =)

GOAL #2 REACHED!!!!!! *cue happy dance*
I think the title explains how my day went. Despite breaking the promise I made to myself last night for the movie (I ate something like 250 cal worth of popcorn) I was 134 lbs. after my workout! I was so ready to see a gain, actually I really didn't know where I'd be so I was pretty damn stoked.
The Room last night was amazing. For those of you who don't know it's this terrible movie (constant subplots that go nowhere, horrible green screen effects, numerous establishing shots for one scene, crazy acting, I could go on and on and on) made in 2003 that has since garnered a cult following similar to Rocky Horror. People yell back to the screen (with hilarious insults I might add), throw plastic spoons and footballs (referencing elements of the movie) and quote the dialogue. It was probably one of the funniest movie experiences I've ever had. If any of you have it playing at your theater any time soon, go see it. You'll have no idea what you're in for.
Today, however was fairly quiet. Aaron's roommates are gone for the 3-day weekend so I've been staying over at his dorm. All the dining halls close early this weekend so food won't be terrible (and I'll be eating early dinners). Today before my workout I had a light lunch with one kiwi (40 cal), a few spoonfuls of tomato soup (50 cal), a few bites of Aaron's pancake (30 cal) and a medium salad with tomato, radish, carrot, sunflower seeds, baby corn, and 2 tbsp of ranch (180 cal) for a total of 300 calories. Dinner was terrible considering the condensed dining options. I ended up with two chicken tender things (200 cal), 3/4 of a burrito (probably another 200), 1 1/2 servings of generic lucky charms (110 cal) with 2 oz reduced fat milk (30 oz), and 1 1/2 fudge brownies (150ish) for a total of 690 calories. With my workout (-705 cardio, stretching, and ab/glute/arm workout) it comes to a grand total of 285 calories.
And to celebrate I wanted to share some thinspo that has really been inspiring me lately:
P.S. - As promised I will now be posting my weigh-in stats every time I go to the gym. Stay tuned! =)

I've never been keen on celeb thinspo, but I love this photo of
Monica Bellucci (especially her belly button for some reason).
Being thin + tan = looking great in white shorts.
I love it that thin girls still look thin under massive sweaters.
I really want to get a chunky sweater once I reach my ultimate goal weight.
Not quite thinspo, but her face screams beautiful, perfect, and thin.
Legwarmers! Also something I want once I reach my UGW.
Well that's it for now ladies. I hope your day has been as good as mine. If not I'm sending you all feel good vibes for tomorrow!
