Hey everyone!!! I miss you guys soooo much! I am trying to hold on! I have been around but so much have been going on! I have moved and my internet is not on yet. I should be back in business around the second week in May. Once my internet is on at home. I will be able to post more. I am also working a part time job at Target. I was forced to find me a part time job! Its okay sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I like it even though I hate to give up my weekends! Its providing me with alot of financial relief, this part time job is going to be permenent until futher notice.
Good news though I have been trying to eat right and excercise my new apartments have a gym on site...which is Super Super great! Plus is really big and I have been walking alot in the evenings when I don't have to work just to get out the house and enjoy the day and walk summer! Thanks for all of you guys who have checked on me. I am sorry to be absent but I have some personal things in my lfe I am resolving now..but thanks so much for the warm wishes and miss you emails..I am here!
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing good this week! I have been doing well..no complaints. I know I have been missing in action...but I have been thinking of you guys here. I had alot going on toward the end of last week and the beginning of this week that I haven't had time to just sit down and catch my breath.
I went to the cabins for the weekend. We left on Friday afternoon/evening ohh my gosh it was soooooo nice and relaxing..breathing in all that clean fresh air. We went to Blairsville, GA...it was in the country country I promise me and my friends were the only black faces there..(not that it matters) but it was like wow..anyway..I cannot even begin to explain all the fun we had. I will post some pictures later..we are going back in July for the holiday..we are aleady getting the money and everything together to go. YAY!!!Well because of my trip I was unable to attend weight watchers this past monday which I guess was a little plus because TOM is here visiting but he should be gone shortly. This week has been an okay in the eating deposit but a drain in the excercise department I wasn't able to excercise Monday or yesterday, Tuesday I was just lazy. So I still have days left in this week. I haven't thru everything off completly. Well just wanted to check in on you guys! Miss you gals and I am thinking of you all......Have a good one!
Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me......
Hey everyone!!! I missed you guys! I am here. Sorry I wasn't able to post these past couple of days but I am here and doing great I have so much to tell you guys..well...Yesterday was Monday...and it was the best begnning a week I have ever had! I got off work late so I missed my weight watcher class that starts at 5:30 pm. So I had decided to just wait until Thursday and go weigh in at another weight watcher class that I like going too...well after getting home I just decided that I would go to the track and walk. I went and I did 2 miles well on my way home I was like "wait a minute"they have another weight watcher class at 7:30...so I rushed over there and ran in..not looking for much because of the pass crappy holiday which was Valentines day and really not doing all that well on Saturday (didn't drink all my water or excercise) Well I went in...to get another extra dose of motivation and I stepped on the scale...and I had lost 3lbs!!! YES YALL!!! 3LBS!!! Talking about excited and cheesing from ear to ear just big ol Kool Aid Smile...I felt like I had just won the lottery Its nothing like self satisfaction..I don't know what I did...but I need to do it again this week.
My weekend was good just rested and kinda chilled around the house. Sunday I went to the track and walked and kinda cleared my head and thoughts. Now that I have gotten off to a great start this week I intend on keeping it that way...TOM is looming in the shadows so I am going to see if TOM can just have mercy on me this month I think I had better success this week because I decided to cut down my points to a lower number than what I am eating now..I think that was kinda hendering me..my supervisor who is doing weight watchers also said that I look like I am sliming down..Its only been a couple of pounds..but I don't see it....oh well since I am not quitting this time and taking it 1 pound at time..I will just have to wait patiently and keep at it!
Anyway I am looking foward to a good week! Have a great day!
Hey Guys!!! Happy Valentine's Day!!!I hope everyone is enjoying the love feast day! Mine is going okay. Nothing to complain about and even if it was whats the use of complaining. It's a cold day here but hopefully its sunny! Well...I went to the gym last night and got my work out on...It was like EXTRA cold outside I really didn't want to go, but I pushed myself and said..."SELF, GET UP, GET OUT, AND DO SOMETHING!!!!" So I got in a really good workout in so hopefully it will show up on the scales on Monday.
Okay...so I figured if I can get through today I can make it. Everyone is walking around with cake, cookies, and candies....a dieter nightmare...and I am really the biggest cookie monster around these parks. I am staying away everytime I think about it. I drink my water. I left my snacks that I planned to bring to work today on the counter. But I refuse to go through this day and mess up my hard work.
I really don't have much to talk about today. Its been a pretty boring week. Yea!! Its almost the weekend! I have done rather well this week staying on point and eating healthy. Last night for dinner I had baked chicken and of course the usual salad. Tonight I am going to hit the gym and go home and rest of course. Everyone enjoy there day! Don't forget to Share the love today!
Hush....you guys hear that...its the sound of the crowd going wild!!!!
I am so excited about whats going on with me right now that I can hardly focus on typing this blog. My day began a little partly cloudy..just a typical Monday. I was anixous about my weigh in but most importantly my scores from my teacher test. ( I am trying to become certified). Well...as they day drew closer to the time the scores would be posted on the internet I kept checking and checking...so around 3:15 the scores were posted I eagerly put in my password and code and whata you know!!! I PASSED!!! I PASSED!!!If I could do a cartwheel. I would have done 2 cartwheels and ended it with triple double sommersalt!! (however you spell it) I was so excited. I have been wanting to teach since I moved to Atlanta and started subbing. I always had trouble with the math part. As a matter of fact after the state of Georgia turned to administring the GACE and not the Praxis I was excited because It was suppose to be easier..well...It took me 3 trys to pass but I passed. I kept at it...it was hard..it was plenty of nights I doubted myself and questioned myself weather teaching was even for me. Today, my answer was clear...yes this is for me...I am on my way!
Well....I was all pumped up when I made it home ...now if I could continue my sweet victory. I hurried in used the bathroom...then ran off to Weight Watchers...and what!! I couldn't belive it... a measly .2 lbs loss but since I was on my euphoric high...I couldn't even be mad at the scale...now next week maybe a little diffrent but nothing could taint how I was feeling right now.
Well...and then I got more good news.. I was wanting to start going to the gym at work before work but I have to take the shuttle to work and the shuttle doesn't start running until 6am so I was like what to do Well the security guard at work said that I can park at the parking deck and when I finish my car to the MLK parking lot where I am assigned to work and won't have to pay...so my plan is coming together so I am going to get my parking situation under control and hopefully next week start going to the gym in the morning...oh my that mean rise and shine 4 am...oh my!!! Well hope you all have a good evening! PEACE,LOVE AND HAIR GREASE!!!
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well this week. I am just tryin to relax and get ready for another long week! I have weigh in tomorrow and I get my scores back from my teacher test tomorrow!! YAY!!! Its been a long week. I was so ready for the weekend. I was suppose to work but the person who wanted me to work never called me back which was perfectly okay. I was able to rest this weekend and sleep in. Even though I was looking for the much needed overtime money.
Oh well, I am excited about weigh in tomorrow. I got on the scale this morning I was down so I am defitnityly looking for a lost but I have decided I am going to cut down the points I am suppose to be eating. My body is on a serious plateau or something. I have to be. When I first did Weight Watchers I did really good. After I stopped doing weight watchers I kind of didn't change up my eating although I did gain my weight back and ate looser I still ate alot of the stuff I eat now, Oatmeal in the morning, maybe a smart one in the evening, string cheese for snacks. I need to change up. Becuase this time is hard for me. I feel like I am struggling to loose. I am going to keep at it. With that said I am going to try some new things this week, as far as excercising and eating goes. I will keep you guys updated.
So this week is Valentines...and I must say, and this is very sad to say...but I am 27 years old and I have never had a valetine's... So I am going to stay at home of course and focus on how fabulous I am
Heres a picture of me at a birthday party I went to last weekend.
Yea I had to cut my friend johnny out the picture..but we had alot of fun!!!
Well I hope you guys have a great week! Smoochies!
Good Morning everyone!! Hope everyone enjoys there Super Tuesday! I hope everyone is going out to the poles today and cast your votes! Anywho...okay I don't even want to talk about weigh in yesterday!! MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! So we will leave it at that. I gained .8lbs..I am going to say that was the super bowl food from Sunday. Thats what I am sticking with.
So moving along and not dwelling on the weight gain. I am soo mad at all my EP buddies right now. No one told me that Billy Blanks is a REAL WORKOUT and you sweat like your in a suana! I usually don't go to the gym on Monday because I go to Weight Watchers. Well after leaving Weight Watchers yesterday. I went home. I was sitting on my bed looking at TV and eating my dinner when I heard my godsister/roomie put in the Taebo DVD so I put my dinner to the side and figured I would go in there and do a little big of the DVD with her just to say I did work out a little today. Well those couple of minutes turned into how ever long the video was. I lost track and proceeded to workout with Billy and his crew, need less to say when I finished I was sweaty, and tired. Billy works! I guess I will be doing more of Billy. Last week when I did it with her..I was playing around I kept stopping really didn't take it all that serious..well I guess Billy showed me.
After finishing my workout with Billy Blanks I took a shower and got in the bed. I slept all night, I didn't even get up to go to the bathroom. This morning I am soo rested I got in the bed around 8:45. I need to make that a habit. I can hardly belive how rested I feel. My godsister said we will try Billy Blanks ab workout today!! I'm scared!
Before I go I want to leave you guys with a couple of thoughts. Today is history in the making so please remember to go vote. Its very important to you as a person, and citizen of the United States. Your participation is crucial to the development of our nation.
Since we are talking about history .In honor of black history month here is a little black history for you:
Lewis and Clark was accompenied by York a black slave, when they made their 1804 expedition from Missouri to Oregon. York's presence aided in the interactions with the Native Americans.
Hey! Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the Super Bowl on Sunday! It was a very good game! Not so good super bowl party hosted by none other than me! Me and my friends had a super bowl party at my home it was pot luck! My godsister/roomie made a VERY good taco salad. But of course that isn't all that I had. So I am very disappointed in myself ....I really have to work on that will power. I have been eating good and drinking my water and excercising. Its just something about the weekend that I just can't get in order. Its not good becuase my weigh in are on Monday so its not like I have an opportunity to work out my weekend mess ups! I am working on it you guys I am going to get it together!
I had a birthday party that I attended this weekend! I had a lot of fun I stuck to plan not ot overeat. I acieved that goal, I didn't want to look like a piggy anyway so I ate sparingly and drunk water instead of drinks ..so that was my non scale victory moment of the weekend.
All is not lost I am still looking for a lost today at the scales so I need all the extra last minute skinny vibes sent my way! I need to WOW myself at the scales this week since I skipped out on last week.
My goals this week:
Eat fresh vegetables everyday
Drink at leat 70 oz of water
Take my lunch to work everyday
Workout at leat 4 days a week for an 1:15 or more!!!
I think these are doable! With that said wish me luck! I will let you guys know about my lost this week! Have a great Monday!
HEY EVERYONE HAPPY THURSDAY TO ALL!! HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL AND FEELING WELL! I AM SO GLAD THIS WEEK IS WINDING DOWN. I PROMISE I FEEL AS THOUGH I LIVE FOR THE WEEKEND! JUST TO GET THAT MUCH NEED REST.
WELL DOWN TO BUSINESS, YESTERDAY I WANTED TO GO TO THE GYM..BUT NOOO.....I HAD COMPANY FROM A YOUNG MAN WHO REALLY LIKES ME AND WHOSE WHOLE CONVERSATION IS BASED ON HOW HE LIKES ME SOOO SOO MUCH AND WANTS TO BE MY BOYFRIEND...NOW LET ME EXPLAIN I WAS JUST SITTING THERE. I AM NOT ATTRACTED TO HIM MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY..I AM JUST NOT WHERE HE IS AT RIGHT NOW. DONT GET ME WRONG I AM ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR A BOYFRIEND THIS YEAR BUT HE HAS ALREADY BEEN INTERVIEWED AND HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR THE POSITION BUT HE KEEPS TRYING TO APPLY!! WHY!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHY I EVEN WASTE MY TIME. I COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE GYM. GETTING MY WORKOUT ON! THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS TALKING I WAS THINKING WHAT I COULD DO TO MAKE HIM LEAVE EARLY SO THAT I CAN AT LEAST GO TO THE GYM 30 MINUTES. I GUESS I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TELL HIM. BUT I DON'T WANT TO HURT HIS FEELINGS BUT AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP WASTING ANYONES TIME, NOT HIS AND DEFITNITLY NOT MINES.
ANYWAY I ALREADY HAVE MY GYM CLOTHES IN THE CAR READY FOR MY WORKOUT NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM GOING TO BE AT THE GYM ALL EVENING BECUASE I HAVE A GOAL TO MEET AND DAMMIT I'M GOING TO MEET IT. I HAVE 4 DAYS COUNTING TODAY UNTIL WEIGH IN AND I EXPECT AT LEAST 4LBS LOSS!!!
I ATE REALLY REALLY WELL YESTERDAY. BUT WITH A LOOK LIKE 10LB BUCKET OF SALAD AND A LOT OF BAKED CHICKEN YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO EAT HEALTHY BEFORE I GO ...I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT MY NON SCALE VICTORY. THE TUESDAY I WAS CRAVING ICE CREAM . WHAT I REALLY WANTED WAS ONE OF THOSE TURTLE WAFFLE BOWLS FROM DAIRY QUEEN..BUT I WAS FIGHTING THE URGE SO I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND BOUGHT SOME WEIHT WATCHERS ICE CREAM..I WILL NEVER EAT REGUALAR ICE CREAM AGAIN! I BOUGHT THE ONE WITH THE TOFFEE COVERIGN VANILLA ICE CREAM IN THE MIDDLE. IT WORTH 2 POINTS AND ITS SOO GOOD..I COULD HARDLY BELIVE IT. I KNOW I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO REGULAR ICE CREAM.
Hi everyone!! Hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday!! My Tuesday was very good, thank God is Hump day tomorrow...YAY!! The week is almost over! My day started very good and is ending very good. This morning one of my coworkers came to me all excited and I was looking like wow..its to early in the morning to be doing all this talking so whats up.She knows one of my friends and saw me on her myspace page and she went on to go on and on about how good I looked and how pretty I was.( I was down on my weight then)...and I was like wow..thanks!! She went on and on and it really made me feel good it actually motivated me to continue on. When you are working toward a goal and you are making progress it feels good when people notice and when you notice it lets you know that your work is not in vain!
I went to the gym late tonight but I got in a good work out. I am looking for at least 3lb lost at the scales next Monday!! Thats my goal I am working towards it. My roomie/god sister baked chicken tonight, so thats what we had for dinner, baked chicken and salad..not bad. She made the biggest salad ever and thats what we are eating on for the rest of the week. Thats okay with me. Living with her I don't think I will have a choice but to loose she only eats salad and yogurt. At least I dont' have to worry about anybody trying to sabatoge or tempt me with unhealthy foods. I know it won't be her!
Well you guys the cards are really working in my favor this time around on my weight loss journey. I am not giving up, I am holding steadfast to my personal motto: REFUSE TO QUIT!! Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
Well because of my trip I was unable to attend weight watchers this past monday which I guess was a little plus because TOM is here visiting but he should be gone shortly. This week has been an okay in the eating deposit but a drain in the excercise department I wasn't able to excercise Monday or yesterday, Tuesday I was just lazy.
