what in the world??!! i haven't blogged in like 15 days. am sure someone has called the EP police on a sista. that's alright though, i still love y'all!
my pc has really showed her butt these last couple of weeks and decided she didn't want to work. i gave her some lasagna and garlic bread and now she seems perfectly content
well survived the christmas holidays and didn't kill any co-workers. scout's honor. okay, there's this one chick that went missing on christmas eve but i swear it wasn't me. huh? you saw me carrying a black garbage bag over my shoulder and heard muffled screams coming from it? saw what seemed to be legs and arms thrashing? hmmm...interesting observations.
moving right along....
I'VE LOST 9 POUNDS!!!!!!! WOOT-WOOT! damn, i'm skinny....LOL!!!
Today's motivation: my photography project 365 starts january 1st. i'm soooooo excited. i will give you guys my blog address that day with my first photo.
Day Three: Crazy co-workers....where's the straight-jacket?
i just had a conversation (LOUD) with a crazy co-worker (HEIFA!!) that felt she needed to "confront" me about not attending all the christmas parties, therefore not bringing gifts. well excuse the heck out of me! because my dept is broken down into departments, divisions, bureaus, units, and programs, we have TWELVE parties scheduled! each party wants you to bring a food/drink item and a $5 gift. HELLO? i'm no mathematician, but i do believe that's $60 worth of gifts plus $$ for the food items plus time to prepare/pickup the food items!! does she not see the problem with it being December 16th and we've already had 9 of the 12 christmas parties? really, does she not see that?? and then they have the audacity to have an after hours one on friday at applebees??!! what the hell??!!!
as a single parent of the Big One and the Little One, i refuse to add extra stress to myself and my budget. i have to take into consideration church christmas functions and the functions at the Big One's school and her girl scout troop. Those are the important and necessary functions for me NOT drinking apple cider with crazy heifas like her!!
WOOOOO-SAAAAA *finding my happy place*
p.s. in crazy co-workers defense, i knew she was crazy so i don't even know why i entertained the conversation with her...guess she's pulled me over to the crazy side.
EP family, i need your opinions here. I want to start one of these on Jan 1st but am not sure which. Can some of you chime in and let me know your experiences on either?
And also, how often do you guys weigh in? Daily, once a week, etc?
Day Two: Sorry if my pedometer cracks your windshield!
I swear I am going to throw my pedometer out of the frappin' window. So I work for the Dept. of Health and we promote healthy living *eye rolling*. So I'm a member of our wellness team and one of our winter initiatives is a pedometer loan program....six week program, started the week of Thanksgiving. The leader, if I heard her correctly, stated that the average person walks 10,000 steps per day. BULLCRAP, SKINNY HEIFA!! They must be hyped up on crack or some really great phentermine :) My highest steps has been 6,723 and i was doing some serious walking that day!!...i didn't even ask my daughter to get the remote for me...LOL. So pardon my fat booty if my pedometer flies from my car window and lands directly on your windshield.
Whew, all of that negativity in the above paragraph *shaking my head*. I can see my mom say, "Now, Samantha.....". Bullet point addition:
Get in 10,000 steps at least 2 days this week
Keep pedometer strapped tightly to my belt loop in order not to chunk it out of the window due to temporary insanity
Today's Motivation: More money in my pocket because I haven't visited the vending machine in an entire week. Take that C4 and B12!!! "I gotta dollar, I gotta dollar, I gotta dollar...hey, hey, hey, hey"
so i just typed that i had only gained 4 pounds since i last blogged. well maybe the fatness is covering my brain. last blog weight: 262 lbs. today's blog weight: 273 lbs.
now i'm depressed. anyone have a wellbutrin? or better yet, anyone have a honey bun? 11 FREAKING POUNDS!!! what did i eat?? i gotta admit to myself that it's the sodas!! i can drink like a 12 pack per day. gonna sign myself up for CA (Caffienics Anonymous).
"Hi my name is Samantha. I'm addicted to caffiene. I sleep with can under my pillow so my family can't see. I drink two in the morning, two at lunch, and two for dinner. I also have one with my midnight Sudoku....."
great thing, it's 10:45 am and have not had one yet! woo-hoo for the fat black girl! oh, oh, oh...i now have another bullet point to add:
i will not drink sodas for 1 month. and when i smack that goal in the a- ...i mean where the sun don't shine, i'm going to add another month to it.
today's motivation: 11 pounds, i'm going to take you into a dark alley and whoop your *BLEEP*!
Day One (AGAIN): who really knows the definition of HIATUS anyway?
so, i'm back after my "hiatus". i didn't exactly fall off the wagon.....it's more like i got a running start and "stopped-dropped-and-rolled" off the wagon. 'tis such a shame really. and i was doing so well. on the bright side, i only gained four pounds in this last year...on the not-so-bright-side (okay, the dark side), i didn't lose the weight that i wanted. i think my downfall was that i got too lazy to blog. i really hate that happened.
i'm not on phentermine or any other pills this time around. i may start my love affair with phen again in january, but who knows.
i promise myself to do the following:
blog daily (fingers crossed on this one)
read other blogs to inspire and motivate me
think of another bullet point
think of yet another bullet point
think of one more bullet point because i like the number 5
today's motivation: all of the love and emails that i received from my EP family while on my "hiatus".
day 15: WIZARD.....who summoned the wiza...? oh its you!
ANOTHER 4.4 LBS GONE!!! (doing my happy dance)
probably would have been more if hadn't eaten like a starving woman lost in the desert...
friday was good...nothing bad...
saturday morning, someone mentioned "Cracker..." and i was in the car, seatbeat buckled before they could say "Barrel". What? You expect a country girl to pass up pancakes, grits, eggs AND sausage? Shame on you for expecting that
saturday for lunch...i skipped because was preparing for the baby shower
saturday @ baby shower...was good...had couple of strawberries, some grapes and pasta salad....
saturday night....starving woman reappeared...since i was in atlanta, i was obligated to go to my favorite italian restaurant...the best italian food i've ever tasted....scalini's...oh, scalini's...i could probably write a poem about scalini's....lasagna and garlic rolls...ummmmmmmm....if you guys are ever in the atlanta area on one of your "free" days, you gotta try them... www.scalinis.com
sunday...woke up regretting the previous day...and decided to get back on track...
so i'm sitting at my sister's house, minding my own sweet business and in that heifa walks with two large pizzas...now i can't complain because i am at HER house and she can have whatever her and the kids choose to have for dinner but give a sista a break, girl...and ya gonna just sit right beside me, huh? no respect for personal space...and gonna just bite right into it at this very moment, huh? can you at least give me the chance to look away, please ma'am?
so i'm eyeing that cow out of the corner of my eye and she's surely snickering...not outwardly but i'm am sure that somewhere deep down inside, there's a skinny chick laughing at me...
so i reach over to close the pizza box, knocking over my cup...and then my nail broke. a perfectly good nail...so up yours, dumb pizza...and you two sis
and EP family, i'm so frappin' constipated it's not even funny!! SOMEONE HELP ME, PLEASE...i drink lots of water but no bathroom action going on...i'm sure my toilet misses me and i have a brand spanking new Parenting magazine that's just itching to be read...i think it's affecting my vision..
anyway, diet still going well...still have to make myself eat and everything tastes horrible...probably goes back to the whole constipation thing...oh well...
today's motivation: one more day until i see my sweetie!!
okay put my bra on this morning and i think i lost a pound or two in the boobage area...like, can i have them back? me and the girls have given exemplary service for many years now...no customers have ever left unhappy!!
smelled a slice of pizza today...hmmmmmm...
put my $1.50 in the drink machine today to get a coke annnnnnnddddd (drum roll please) the coke got stuck!! i laughed so hard i cried. yep i was the crazy woman with her head against the freaking coke machine, laughing hysterically...God really does have a sense of humor.
today's motivation: I see my sweetie in 2 days!! happy happy joy joy
