MOMENT OF TRUTH!....

Ok...Left leg....now Right leg ....will it make it over these hip and that booty?!??! YES! Oh yes it did!! Owwwww! I got in to 'those' jeans!! You know those really cute jeans you see at the store, that you know you are way too big for but they were on sale and you don't plan on being a fatty the rest of your life, so one day you know you'll fit them jeans? Yes...'those' jeans! And I'm wearing them and comfortably sitting down. 'Cant tell me Nothin'!!! :) lol

There is absolutely NOTHING like that feeling you get when you realize that YOU CAN DO THIS! Just keep pushing! Set realistic goals that you are capable of achieving, find a good support group and don't let ANYONE or ANYTHING deter you from reaching those goals!!!


I've been using 'myfitnesspal.com' you log your height, weight and weight loss goal. From day to day you log in your exercise and each meal in your 'food/exercise diary' and it keeps track of everything. There are very encouraging people on that site and everyone has the same goal...to be healthy! So, if you need a little push and accountability, that's the place to be!!

MMMMMM....ROUGHAGE!!!

Did somebody say 20 lb weight loss??? I think I just did!! Yes!! I really did it! 20 pounds!!! Feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders and stomach and butt and back and yesssss TWENTY FRIGGIN' POUNDS!! The salads that only a rabbit could love, the water when I REALLY, REALLY want a PEPSI, the light snacks, baby sized lunch portions and the 'Skinny Cow' ice creams. Not my first picks but I'm learning to be 'ok' with choosing the foods that are better for me instead of the foods that are 'Oh so bad' but taste 'Oh so good to me!!! It's still a work in progress...but I really think I'll be ok :)

Feels great when hard work pays off!!  I have been working so hard for this. And even though this is a huge milestone, especially for someone like me, I still need to stay focused on the big picture....full of pictures that I actually want taken!!! Press on...Press on! So, the fat will 'Fall off'...'Fall off'!

Maybe I'll be a 'Hot Mama' after all!!! lol

RaDicAL SaBbaTicAL!!!

Oh the things that can happen in a month!...

So, I had a death in the family :'(  Very, very, very sad time for me. And unfortunately, I'm not one of those people that want to sweat and exercise their problems away. I tend to gravitate towards the ice cream,  the cake....the 'ice cream cake', burgers, fries, tacos, nachos, cookies, pasta, mashed potatoes and GRAVY...Oh My Lawd.. FILL ER' UP!!!....I'm salivating just talking about it! Although, I will have to say that it is quite a talent to able to cry and eat chips at the same time...Como se dice 'Skills'?!?! Cause I got em'!! 

But I'm back on track...Living and aware of the "Fatty Monsters" that hide in the closet (well, pantry that is) and seem to creep out at night. I'm thinking thin and making more realistic goals. Not so much worried about the 'poundage' but more about feeling healthy, fitting into those favorite old jeans of mine, and not looking like I'm trying to do the 'Harlem Shake' every time I walk....

I WILL BE HEALTHY! I WILL LOOSE WEIGHT! AND I WILL GIVE THOSE DOUBTING ME A TASTE OF "FOOT-IN-MOUTH"!!!!!

And I'll keep postin'

The Silence is Deafining, I know

Dont worry, I didn't go into cardiac arrest...I've just been a tad busy NOT working out :\ Time just got away from me and I'm not sure how. I haven't lost my aerobic mojo or anything but I'm just having some major time management issues here. Haven't been sleeping the greatest lately and it's most definitely showing in the form of "I could care less"...Not exactly the best trait to have when you're trying to accomplish goals like mine...Too much on my mind I guess. Happens when you're crazy enough to want to lose 70-75 lbs by July without the help of surgeon ready to "cut and paste"...so to speak

But I'm going to have to cut this blog entry short, because surprise, surprise...it's WAY past my bedtime. Gotta get my "Beauty Rest"!! Don't want to be fat AND ugly...so, please just bare with me

Stay Posted...and I'll stay posting....

It's a Jungle in there!!!

RAWWWRRR!!!  Yes, that sound is actually coming from my Stomach! A direct result of these Polly pocket size meals, disguised as "Appropriate meal portions". I undoubtably have to reprogram this "all you can eat", "buy one, get one free" mind-set that most American's have.

Ahhhh yes, America...the Land of "Milk and Honey" and Obesity and Diabetes. Don't get me wrong, I love being American and living in the 'Land of the Free'. But as a whole, we are ridiculous with the grease and the butter and the side of this and a doggy bag of that. With that being said, I most definitly think the word for today is 'PORTION CONTROL'!!!

I'm getting myself together...one Low-Cal teaspoon bite at a time! Even if that means sacrificing all the 'bad' things I love...

Times are Hard...and so are my Arteries :/

HEY FAT GIRL!!!

So, I "just had a baby"....14 months ago...If only that phrase could honestly be used as a legitimate explanation as to why my 'muffin top' spills over top of my failed attempt to squeeze into 'Skinny Jeans'. Or how my mother so lovingly calls it, a "Stomach Apron"...I knew better. "All in the name of Fashion"...smh

Yes, there are the Lane Bryants' and the Ashley Stewarts'...but I REALLY don't want to accommodate this heavy version of me. I want to save my money for all the cute clothes I envision myself wearing as a thinner me. Instead of these car tarps they call "Plus size".

You know, I want to be that 'Hot Girl' at work that all the jealous co-workers have to always throw in the exaggerated phrase "she used to be REALLY, REALLY Fat", just to make themselves feel more superior.

So, what am I doing about it??? I'm eating like a member of a tribe that has no choice but to eat leafy greens an unsalted meats. I'm exercising like it turns me on and I did throw in a "fat burner" pill for good measure :/ Don't worry I did my research. Been living like this for a little over a week now. So far so GREAT!!! I feel good and people are already noticing a difference :) And I don't feel like I need to be on an episode of MTV's TRUE LIFE: 'I'm a lethargic blimp, one hamburger away from an ER visit'...

I'll save all the "Before" pictures until I have an "After" picture that will save the vomit from coming out of your mouth. I will update about this every now and again. So.......

In the Beginning...

Welcome to the life and mind of ME!!! Best described as fairly random, slightly entertaining and generally thought provoking. I'm not sure how or why the things that cross my mind, cross my mind but they do and for some reason unbeknownst to me, I feel the need to share :)

So, I hope you'll join me on my journey through everyday life occurrences, unexpected banters, random thoughts and majorly rhetorical questions for the sake of "What'd YOU think about _______?"....

Strap on your 'WTH' hats....LET'S GO!!!! :)
