So its three months after my last post and SOOOO much has happened. First and most important, I am now single! I am happy about this because it was a very toxic relationship that was going nowhere. I had lost quite a bit of weight but he decided that he wanted to get jealous about me going to the gym or going bike riding at the park, and wouldnt "let" me go. It was always something with him. I just couldnt take it anymore so I decided to get out of the relationship. He and I had been together for six years and had gone absolutely nowhere in that whole time. I see couples on TV who are together for two or three years purchasing homes, having kids, things like that. We were in the same place because he, being seven years younger than I, just hadnt grown up yet. Well enough of that I said to myself, and decided to move on. I am so much happier and have began eating and living a more healthy lifestyle.

Secondly, my job has changed. I have been promoted in my company and am now the Senior Administrative Executive.... Fancy Schmancy!! I love my job and look forward to coming every day. But part of the new job is dressing the part, and even though I want to go out and buy the hottest trends that are work friendly - I am holding off until I lost some more weight. What I actually did was purchase three absolutely GORGEOUS dresses in a size 8 (I am a size 12 now, and an 8 is my goal) and I have them hanging from my closet door so I remind myself everyday what my goal is.

And third and finally... I am taking suppliments along with my new habits. I have been taking Healthe Trim for the last week, and I have noticed a huge change. I have lost about 2 lbs since then, because of the gradual change in eating and activity, but the biggest change is how I feel. Healthe Trim does not contain caffine and things like that which only get you 'hopped up' for a few hours, this stuff is all natural and makes me feel great. I will keep you guys posted on the progress, as well as post some before and afters. Thanks for readin!

Okay, I don't know if you guys know this or not but I once again started Curves.... I really do love it and I have been going faithfully for all of three days. Whoooo-hooooo!! They say it takes three weeks to create a habit so I guess that gives me eighteen more days to go before it actually becomes a habit. For right now I have to basically convince myself on a daily basis that this is what I really do need to be doing. And it IS what I need to be doing! I went last night and did my 30 minute round like a good little soldier. Then went grocery shopping.... well I ended up getting one of them baskets that always try to veer off to one side, and being the gung ho exercise enthusiast I am now, I figured “eh, I will just keep the basket and think of it as a mini work out trying to keep this bitch straight...” BIG mistake. After about 30 minutes I was sick and tired of that damned basket but it was too late to get a new one because there was too much crap in there. ugh. Got home and unloaded all of that, put it all up in its place and finally got to lay down. I must say I slept pretty darned good. The good news is when I woke up this morning I was six pounds lighter than I was a week before, so maybe there  is something to all this ‘exercise & eat right’ mumbo jumbo after all. Watch out Angelina.....

 

New absolute Favorite thing in the world #417:

 

Okay, I don't know if you guys are familiar with this or not, but there is this little granola bar called Kashi Pumpkin Spice and it is DIVINE!!! Well I recently paired this little jewel with some hot lemon tea and Good Night Mrs. Betty it was FAN-TAS-TIC! Picture the scenario... I'm at work, tired and hungry as always, no energy to do what ever it is they pay me to do (temporary dementia has set in at this point) and I have no more pencils to do said work even if I knew what it was because I have thrown them all up in the ceiling (since the last employee in that office drew a bullseye on the ceiling tiles its been nothing but pencil darts for this girl!) anyway, I decide to brave the walk over to the break room and pass my old foe Snacky.... I am just too hungry to care at this point. So I'm almost there and I have the glittery silver coins jingling with excitement in my hands.... what to get what to get? I turn the corner, there is Snacky humming triumphantly. I look into the treasure trove of goodies and lo and behold.... looks like someone has gotten Snacky a new Vendor! Well there are now granola bars, air popped popcorn, trail mix (still gotta be careful with those) some whole grain chips, and some other good stuff that, if I do happen to indulge in, I wont spend the rest of the day pondering what I can pawn in my house to pay for the liposuction I will evidently need afterwards. I'm here to tell you if I had a tail it would be wagging erratically, maybe knocking over a few things such as my beloved pit bulls does when he gets a little too exited! (he cleared the coffee table one day of magazines and cups cause he heard me say “beefy treat!” I have since learned NOT to utter the words beefy treat unless I get a full clear of all breakable objects!) As the smile spreads across my face like syrup on a pancake I think I hear old Snacky skip a humm or two.... “Aint so tuff after all are you Snacky?”  with that $0.75 goes in and out comes my delicious Kashi..... thus marking its place in the books as my new favorite thing #417
