You call THAT progress? You bet your sweet bippy I do!

Phew... been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything and let me just say - ROLLER COASTER!!!!! So you know how I'm an emotional eater right? Well if that was going to be tested any time, it was during the past two weeks...

The morning of the 9th I checked our bank account only to find that Roy's unemployment check was HALF what it should have been - that alone was enough to send me into an eating tailspin! Then later that day I was tooling along minding my own business when, WHAMO.

Let's just say it wasn't a very good day.... and to make a long story short, between then & now the loaner car overheated, Julia scratched her cornea & got an ear infection, I have TWO pink eyes, my leg is infected from the accident AND we're still waiting on the other half of that check - good news on that one though, should be here tomorrow and if all goes well, my car will be done Friday!!

So as you can see... it wouldn't be any big surprise to see that scale top those lost pounds back off huh?  Nope.... weighed in this morning at a whopping 283!!  Can you believe that! Freaking 283!!!  Which is also what it said at the doctor's office yesterday but did he give me praise - noooooo!  But you can bet he would have said something if it were higher!  Anywho... total of 20 pounds lost in one month, exceeding my monthly goal by 100%!!!!  Look out skinny clothes, Here I Come!!!

You're doing what?

That's right... I'm blogging.  This is my latest attempt to lose weight and hold myself accountable - no holds barred... Throughout my blog I'll be going over things like, why I'm fat, reasons I want to lose weight, my plans to lose weight and the crazy adventures that go with it all.  Want to ride along with me? Grab a drink & get comfy cause here we go... Phew, a little nervous here... I'm about to lay it all out on the line, about to do something NO woman does or at the very least likes to do.  I'm giving you my stats... I don't want to, but I have to.  I mean really, how will you know that I'm improving and on track if we don't have a starting point to measure from right?  It's not the heaviest I've ever been (yeah I know) but it's enough to make you say, ddddaaaammmmnn! Day one STATS... Starting Weight: 303 pounds (it's mostly boob) Goal Weight: 175 pounds Weight to Lose: 128 pounds (Holy crap!) Goal Rate of Loss:

I’ve spent the week preparing for a new lifestyle of clean eating, researching, making lists etc… then Friday happened.   Usually the best day of the week right?   Still is, but let me tell ya – today was a bitch.   A bitch in heat.   Seemed no matter what I did, I was gonna get screwed… definitely was not a productive day. It started out with not having enough time to put together my lunch… something that will be changing with this new healthy lifestyle adventure.   So you know what that means… make a run for the border.   So the three musketeers piled in the car and away we went… As we stood there gazing at the menu I thought this would be a good time to try something new… so I got the same thing I always do. ;-)    My go to meal at Taco Bell is known as the T6 around these here parts… beef please, or at least as much beef as the FDA will allow you to get away with before throwing other non-beef crap in there.   So the usual 2 gorditas and a crunchy taco it was… which alwa

Zoom Zoom Zumba!

I had the opportunity to try something tonight that I’ve been wanting to do for months now – Zumba!  It was a tossup between that and Jazzercise, which I’m thinking are fairly closely related. ZUMBA is a trade name for a dance fitness program created by dancer and choreographer Perez in Colombia during the 1990s. The program combines Latin and international music with dance in an effort to make exercise fun. (Thanks Wikipedia)  So how did I like it?  Well…. Let’s clear the air right now, it was fun & I liked it… that’s it, plain and simple.  You won’t ever hear or see me get excited about anything that makes me move for 50 minutes straight, sweat like a pig and smell like one too!  Whether it is Zumba, Jazzercise, moving furniture etc… it’s just not going to make me jump up and down and say WooHoo!  But it’s necessary… if I want to get my old svelte pole dancing body back, I must exercise, and I must sweat in the process… It’s just one of those things you don’t want to do but ha
