Ok, Memorial Day was a major struggle for me. I was at a cookout at a friend's house, I call myself bringing turkey burgers to throw on the grill for me to eat. I got all kinds of smart remarks because of all the different foods: chicken, ribs, steaks, crabs (im in maryland !) so I ate my lone turkey burger but was guilt tripped into some crabs and a beef hotdog. Then it became this big discussion amongst me and 2 males that were there about how women should embrace what they have and be happy. I agreed but I tried to stress its about being healthy, they weren't trying to hear it. I felt like crap the next day and I really felt sucky when I weighed in and I only lost 4lbs.. I'm trying to stay on the bandwagon but it is so freaking hard.
My exercise has been down this week, its like by the time I get off work I feel like a heavy backpack is on my back and i'm sleepy as ever. I'm trying to walk more i went and bought a pedometer, its amazing how few steps I take in a day. Sad, really.
Then today, walking to church I felt so out of breath and I only walked about 2 blocks, I was steady wondering what the heck is wrong with me, I was working out with a trainer 2 months ago, now I can't even walk a block without feeling like i'm going to pass out. (I joined church today too. :) I got to have JC on my side too !)
And I am really about to get rid of cable, i like the on-demand exercise and all, but ain't jack on TV. Has anybody ever watched Brookhaven obesity clinic on TLC channel? This is sad and i don't think we should have this reality show for entertainment purposes on morbid obesity. But when I watch the show I end up crying and trying to get up and do something like clean or go down the stairs, if it wasn't raining I'd go walk. I just be wanting to say, "fat thou art loosed!"
By the way in my quest to cure my neverending thirst I discovered Crystal light lemonade mix, man mix that with a pitcher of water and cut up some lemons, it is awesome!
Does anybody know of some type of low calorie, low sugar energy booster, quick exercises to boost energy, SOMETHING!!! to break sleepiness?
Ok so I always get compliments on my look and how I put things together. I even shop for other people sometimes. Today I had on my favorite Tahari suit (big interview today) its black with thin veritcal pin stripes (sized sexy ppl please avoid the vertical unless your layering!).

-Okaybe! This morning I got up at 6:30 am I had 2 glasses of water and the phen pill. I turned on the tv and hit OnDemand, my roomate hipped me to exercise tv on Comcast digital cable on demand last night. This morning I experimented with 11 minutes of belly dancing and 20 minutes of raeggaeton dancing aerobics.
The belly dancing was fun but the moves were so erotic, I couldn't stop laughing thinking if the people walking their dogs this morning could see me through the porch window, LOL. (and I have way too much too up top to be shimmying, i almost hurt myself lmao!)
The raeggaeton was cool except for the little skinny chicks in the video. I think I'm going to blast my music while I get dressed for work and just get my dance on! around the house and in the shower, I may do more movement without looking at the pencil chicks. I'll grab a pineapple-orange protein shake pretend i'm in Trinidad getting my festival on!
Ok I cant wait to do the comcast walking warm-up before I walk the neighborhood tonight.
I got my heart rate up this morning before work so I'm cool, now I just have to keep my head at work today. Nobody at my job is watching their weight and they just encourage you to eat so I gotta put the lunch protective gear face on "do not mess with her today!"
wish me luck and check or on demand if you have it
Ok, today I've noticed that stress may be what causes me to go bezerk with my eating habits. I had an extremely trying day at work today and besides my first thought to be totally mean it changed after much prayer at my desk, I had a candibucks: protein mocha coffee (lo-cal chocolate protein mixed with coffee), a big glass of water and continued to type. Although, my stomach was saying bahama breeze. Later the cucumber slices saved me.
on to dinner... buffalo wings (4) to be exact I love the 0 calorie sauce!!!!! and broccoli!
umm Jell-o ok I wish it was cheesecake, lol. waterwaterwaterwaterm ahhh! too much water, but im trying cause I have a nice moscato on the table that keeps staring at me lol. I'm a wine fanatic okay so this is hard.
But I'm still excited... I'm looking for different workouts to try last summer I did the strip thing I might take some of those classes again (they are really fun and you will be sore, its a real workout), maybe a friendly belly dancing class, pilates (although im scared), or water aerobics? Any ides or suggestions? I do yoga already and I JUST SAY NO to spinning, lol (bad experience). Tonight I think it will be the weight ball and cleaning.
This is so like the best website ever!!!!!!!! Okay! This is my first day of many being logged on to extra pounds and using the great tools. My weight loss journey is a long and adventure filled one! I look forward to sharing and getting feedback from those who know what the journey is like.
2006 Was a great weight loss year for me but then like a storm, the holiday hurricane blew through and I've been gaining ever since. Starting in the summer of '06 I went from 275 to 230 then by xmas I I was back at 275 and now at 283 I'm taking a stand!
I visited the doctor yesterday and I'm trying the B12 shots and Phentremine deal along with a strict diet plan from a best friend of mine I call it the green machine.
But like the races I'm off! I'm going to do 90 min. a day of exercise spread throughout the day! at 5 days a week its a go! I think all kinds of activity is important from tae-bo to sex LOL burning these cals and shrinking the roll is a must!
