IT'S SWIM SUIT SEASON!!!!!!!

THIS WEEKEND ME AND THE FAMILY WENT TO HOT SPRINGS. I AM SO CONFIDENT BECAUSE I HAD 4 SWIM SUITS PUT AWAY AND HAD JUST BOUGHT A NEW ONE A FEW MONTHS AGO.  FIRST LET ME ADMIT THAT I HAVEN 'T BEEN WORKING OUT AS MUCH AND BEEN EATING MORE. SO THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TRIP I DECIDED TO TRY MY SWIM SUITS ON. LET'S JUST SAY IT WAS NOT A PRETTY SITE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WANTED TO LAUGH OR CRY.   I COULD NOT GET MAD AT ANYONE BUT ME.I WAS THE SLACKER, THE WOMAN THAT FOUND GREAT PLEASURE IN EATING POWDERED DOUGHNUTS.AND NOW I  AM PAYING THE PRICE. SO I HAD TO RUN TO 24 HOUR WALMART AND FIND A BIG GIRL SUIT.MY NEXT QUESTION IS WHY DO THEY WANT TO PUT YOU IN FLOWER PRINTS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A FLOAT?
 NOW I HAVE MY NEW  SWIM SUIT AND I HOPE BY THE END OF THE SUMMER I WILL BE IN A SMALLER ONE. SO  LET ME PULL BACK FROM THE TABLE AND START WORKING OUT AGAIN AND TRY NOT TO HAVE NIGHTMARES OF ME IN MY TO LITTLE SWIM SUITS.
 
ENJOY THE DAY

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE I ARE WORKING SO HARD  TO LOSE WEIGHT  AND THEN WHEN I GET ON THAT SCALE AND SEE THAT I HAVE NOT LOST A POUNDS OR WORSE GAINED A FEW EXTRA. I JUST STARE AT THAT DARN SCALE IN HORROR, STEPPING OFF AND GETTING BACK ON HOPING THAT THOSE NUMBERS WILL GO DOWN.  BUT ALAS THEY GO UP INSTEAD OF DOWN. I WONDER WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING WRONG. I AM EXCERCISNG ALMOST EVERYDAY, EATING LESS. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. WELL, I JUST REALIZED IT'S NOT ALWAYS IN THE POUNDS IT'S THOSE DARN INCHES.
 
 HERE I AM AT WORK WEARING A SKIRT. SO YOU KNOW I HAVE STOCKINGS ON TO KEEP THOSE THIGHS FROM CAUSING A SMALL FIRE (LOL). AND TO MY DISMAY I GET A RUN IN MY STOCKING THAT QUICKLY TURNS INTO A HOLE. I AM MORTIFIED. I HAVE TO REMOVE MY STOCKINGS, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY POWDER TO HELP THOSE THIGHS FROM RUBBING TOGETHER. WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO? I WALK TO THE BATHROOM, DREADING HAVING TO  REMOVE MY BARRIER. I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND FINALLY TOSS THEM IN THE GARBAGE. I WALK SLOWLY BACK TO MY DESK HOPING I WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WALKING TODAY. BUT ALAS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I HAD TO GO ALL OVER THE BUILDING  BUT TO MY SURPRISE. THERE WAS NO TRYING TO ADJUST MY LEGS SO THAT TENDER THIGHS WOULD STOP SCRUBBING AS I WALKED, TO MY AMAZEMENT I WALKED ALL DAY LONG AND DIDN'T GET THE LEAST BIT CHAFFED. I WALK AROUND WITH THIS BIG AZZ GRIN  HAPPY  FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME THAT MY THIGHS WERE POWDER FREE, STOCKING FREE AND IRRITATION FREE.
 
SO EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T SEE ANY POSITIVE RESULTS ON THE SCALE. I LOST INCHES AND MY THIGHS REAPED THE WONDERFUL REWARDS.........   I ALSO REALIZED THAT MY BUDDA BELLY HAS DECREASED AS WELL LOL..
SO I AM GOING TO KEEP WORKING OUT AND SPEND LESS TIME ON THAT DARN SCALE AND PAY MORE ATTENTION TO HOW MY CLOTHES ARE FITTING.
 
ENJOY THE DAY ALL.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

I HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT  MON-FRI AND SOMETIMES THE WEEKEND. SOMEDAYS ITS A STRUGGLE JUST TO KEEP UP WITH THE WORK OUT AND OTHER DAYS I AM LIKE "GIRL YOU REALLY MOVING TODAY"  TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. I START MY WORKOUT DOING MY JUMPING JACKS AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE OUT- OUT- IN-IN. I AM WORKING HARD EVEN BREAKING A LITTLE SWEAT (I RARELY SWEAT NO MATTER HOW HARD I WORK OUT OR HOW HOT IT IS)  SO I AM REALLY FEELING GOOD. I HEAR A SOUND  AND I STOP AND TRY TO SEE WHERE ITS COMING FROM.I CAN'T LOCATE THE SOUND SO  I START MY JUMPING JACKS AND THERE IS THAT SOUND AGAIN. I TURN THE TV VOLUME DOWN   TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. I KEEP THE VOLUME DOWN ON THE TV AND START WORKING OUT AGAIN.  I HEAR THE SOUND AGAIN. I START TO REALIZE THAT IT'S THE FLOP, FLOP, FLOP OF MY BELLY AS I JUMP UP AND DOWN. I START TO LAUGH AND TRY TO FIND THE POSITIVE IN THIS.   I AM STILL TRYING TO FIND THAT POSITIVE (LOL)..SO I FINISHED MY WORK OUT SOUND EFFECTS INCLUDED.  BUT I GUESS IT COULD BE WORSE I COULD STILL BE FLOPPING EVEN AFTER WORKING OUT. SO THERE IS MY POSITIVE

PROGRESS

YEA!!!!! THIS IS MY FIFTH WEEK OF WORKING OUT. I LOVE MY WII FITNESS COACH.  ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DAYS WHEN I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO WORK OUT ESPECIALLY AFTER A LONG DAY AT WORK  I WOULD TAKE CARE OF MY SON'S NEEDS, EAT A LITTLE SOMETHING AND START WORKING OUT. EVEN THOUGH I LOVED MY WORKOUT SESSION THERE WERE MANY PARTS I DREADED LIKE JUMPING JACKS AND OUT-OUT-IN-IN, BUT TONIGHT I FINALLY SAW THE BENEFITS OF MY WORK OUTS. TONIGHT I FELT THE ENERGY THAT I KNOW WORKOUTS ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU. I WAS JUMPING AND A HOPPING AND JUST FEELING OH SO DARN GOOD. I EVEN DID THE JUMPING JACKS WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP AND REST. NOW IF I CAN ONLY WORK ON THOSE OUT-OUT-IN-INS. 
 
 
REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST.  YOU DESERVE IT.

I AM BACK

WOW, IT'S  BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I LAST BLOGGED OR EVEN  VISITED THIS SITE. WELL APPLELICIOUS IS STILL ROUND (LOL) BUT STILL WORKING ON BEING THE BEST THAT I CAN BE. MY SON GOT A WII FOR CHRISTMAS AND I SPLURGED AND BOUGHT THE WII FIT. I GET TICKLED EVERY TIME I STEP ON THAT WII FIT BOARD AND IT SAYS OOOOHHH. WELL AFTER THAT I BOUGHT THE MY FITNESS COACH AND LET ME SAY THIS I WORK OUT MON-FRI WITH HER. STARTED OFF DOING 30 MINUTES. NOW UP TO AN HOUR A DAY PLUS DOING 30 MIN TO 1 HOUR OF WALKING. LAST WEEK I STARTED BACK DOING YOGA. AND IT FELT GOOD TO BE CENTERED. I  KNOW ITS A LONG ROAD AND I AM GOING TO GET OFF TRACK SOMETIMES.  NOW I REALIZE THATS OK AS LONG AS I GET BACK ON AND START TO LOOK FOR THE FINISH LINE. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT I WILL NEVER SEE THAT CHECKERED FLAG AND THATS WHEN I HAVE TO GIVE MYSELF AN EXTRA BOOST AND   HAUL SOME ASS AND TRUST ME IT IS A LOT OF ASS TO HAUL.  AND THAT'S WHEN I THINK OF THE LITTLE TRAIN THAT COULD PULLING THAT CABOOSE UP THE HILL. I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO AND CONTINUE MY CLIMB.
SO STAY ENCOURAGED EVERYONE.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF

 
 
I  KNEW I HAD TO MUCH WEIGHT ON  ME  WHEN:
 
1. MY SHIRT DOES NOT GO OVER MY BOTTOM OR RIDES UP MY STOMACH,
2.  I  FEEL LIKE MY STOMACH IS TAKING UP ALL THE EXCESS ROOM IN MY SHIRT.  
3.. I HAD NO WAIST LINE
4.  NOTHING WORSE THEN MY THIGHS RUBBING TOGETHER AND I HAVE  TO USE POWDER TO DECREASE THE FRICTION AND PREVENT A FIRE
5. I WILL PUT ON CLOTHES AND GET TICKLED AT MYSELF.
6. I  PUT ON SHAPE WEAR   AND HAVE IT ROLL UNDER MY STOMACH OR  EVERY THING JUST LOOKS MORE COMPACT. WHAT IS THE POINT?
7. WHEN DID MY STOMACH AND BREAST BECOME A SET. (YOU KNOW I AM LAUGHING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW).
8. HOW DO I HIDE THAT EXTRA CHIN?
9. WHERE ARE MY DIMPLES?  OOOPS THEY ARE IN MY THIGHS NOW,
10. IF I BEND OVER YOU HAVE  AZZ FOR DAYS.
11. I'M NOT BREAST FEEDING ANYMORE SO WHY WONT THIS BLOUSE BUTTON?
 
ALL I AM SAYING IS SOMETIMES I DO GET TICKLED AT MYSELF AND WILL CALL ONE OF MY FRIENDS AND TELL HER ABOUT IT AND WE WILL LAUGH TOGETHER. I NEVER FEEL THAT SHE IS LAUGHING AT ME BUT WITH ME BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHE CAN RELATE TO IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
I AM NOT SAYING THAT EVERY TIME YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU SHOULD LAUGH BUT DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP SO MUCH THAT YOU FORGET HOW TO LAUGH,   I KNOW THAT FOR EVERY 10 THINGS ABOUT MY BODY I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THERE ARE 60 THINGS I WOULD NEVER CHANGE..
 
ENJOY THE DAY

HOW I BECAME APPLELICIOUS

YESTERDAY I DECIDED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY LIFE. I SPENT SO MUCH TIME TAKING CARE OF OTHERS THAT I LOST ME. WOW.... I RECENTLY GOT ON THE SCALE AND WAS  LIKE DANG THATS THE HEAVIEST I HAVE EVER BEEN. I FELT AWFUL.HOW AND WHEN DID I GET TO THIS POINT OF NO CONTROL? IT SEEMED THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I EXCERCISED OR CUT BACK SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN AND WHAM I WAS RIGHT BACK WERE I STARTED. SO YESTERDAY I MADE THAT FIRST STEP TO THE FAT DR. TO SEE WHAT HE COULD DO TO GET ME STARTED DOWN THE RIGHT ROAD. I REALIZED THAT ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS I HAD TO DO WAS REMOVE THE NEGATIVITY IN MY LIFE. I HAVE TO STOP TAKING ON OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS AND CONCENTRATE ON ME AND MY SON. I FOUND MYSELF HELPING OTHERS THAT REALLY WERE NOT HELPING THEMSELVES AND THAT CAN BE VERY DRAINING  SO IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THE NEEDED CHANGE IN THEIR LIFE THEN I CANT KEEP WORRYING ABOUT THEM. "WOW" STARTING TO FEEL BETTER ALREADY.
 2. WORK. I LOVE MY JOB AND THANKFUL FOR IT BUT FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME AT WORK THEN AT HOME. I REALIZE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY HOURS I WORK THE BILLS WILL ALWAYS BE TEHRE I JUST HAVE TO BE MORE DISCIPLINED AND TRY TAKE CARE OF THE ONES I HAVE AND NOT MAKE NEW ONES.  WORK HAD CONSUMED SO MUCH OF MY TIME THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE.  AND. WE ALL KNOW THATS NOT A GOOD THING.  I HAD LOST THAT FUN CAREFREE WOMAN THAT KEPT A SMILE ON HER FACE AND SONG IN HER HEART.SO NO WORKING EVERY SATURDAY AND MORE PLANNING FUN THINGS WITH ME SON, NOW THAT LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST SUPPORT, WHEN EVER I WOULD SAY HOW FAT I WAS HE WOULD LOOK AT ME AND SAY "MAMA YOU ARE NOT FAT. I LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE."  HE ALSO ENCOURGES MY  FRIENDS THAT ARE OVERWEIGHT. OK I ADMIT HE  IS A CHARMER BUT HE IS SINCERE AND IT COMES FROM HIS HEART.  THANK YOU JOSH.
 
NOW YESTERDAY I WAS TALKING WITH MY BEST FRIEND  AND I SAID GIRL I AM STARTING TO LOOK LIKE AN APPLE AND SHE SAID SHE WAS LOOKING LIKE A PEACH AND IF WE GET ANY BIGGER WE WERE GOING TO BECOME A FRUIT SALAD. LOL SO TODAY WHEN I GREETED HER I SAID HOW YOU DOING PEACH AND AND SHE SAID GREAT HOW ARE YOU APPLE. WE BOTH LAUGHED  AND THATS WHEN I BECAME APPLELICOUS.... . I AM GOING TO TURN THAT NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE. SO BIG HUG TO YOU PEACHES...
 
NOW I AM GOING TO EXCERCISE AND TAKE MY HAPPY TAIL TO BED.
 
ENJOY THE NIGHT
APPLELICIOUS
