Holy blogging kara!! I'm so glad one of us could keep up.
My weight watcher beginning is starting slow. I blame my emotional eating on that one. I need to get my damn christmas tree down and I'll feel a lot better (i miss allison).
My training session hell begins tomorrow morning w/ Coach Forlicker. She's is seriously going to kick my mutha lovin' ass!! It's okay, i need that shit.
Congrats to both of you ladies for your amazing first week loss! I've got some catching up to do :)
Holler at you bitches real soon -- can we get together while you're both off of work??
Bitch, complain, and support your way to skinny! Journey's are better when they're together.

it's a hard knock life
Hey boos!
Well, I've finished grading all of my exams so far, and I have my last two classes today, so now I'm just waiting to do some more grading.
I got my new iphone yesterday and the first thing I did was download my weight watchers app. I think I did ok with points yesterday. It gets a little hard to judge how many points things are, so I'm trying to do the best I can. It was nice to see Bffl & Bffl Jr. at lunch yesterday with some of the teachers. Kristina and I did great with our lunch choices! I almost did get the 8 wings b/c it was 14 points, but I think my lunch ended up being around the same too. I had 2 turkey sliders and a caesar salad for lunch and it was so great! As badly as I wanted that mac n cheese, I want to be skinny more. Plus, there will be other days when I have more points available and hanging around that I can splurge on mac n cheese. For dinner I made myself another chicken caesar salad and then treated myself to a 4 point dessert. I did have 2 piece of caramel chocolate (thanks, Alexis Kidd!omg), but I had maybe 7 points left over, so I think the chocolate took me right to 39 points for the day.
Today is going to be a struggle though with food. I woke up and had a string cheese and some oranges for breakfast = ok good! Bryan is bringing over a smoothie for Tyler and me today during the next exam = 8 points. I am starving! Two girls gave me more chocolate today. One was a lil pack of peanut butter cups and it is only 6 points! However, I'm going to save that for tomorrow when I will have more points to use. Today I am going out with Ellen for lunch at Capital Ale House... Omg, how I love that place and how badly I want the mac n cheese, but I'm going to make smart choices. At first I was debating about what to do- just get one 12 ounce miller lite (2 points) and no food b/c I just had a smoothie a few hours ago or skip the beer and get a soft pretzel. I'm leaning towards getting the pretzel and no aclohol. I would rather eat points than drink them. I was playing around with the tracker to get an estimate on what the pretzel would be.
And then dinner is going to be another issue b/c we will be at Uptown Ally! I think I'm going to limit myself to two beers b/c I don't want to be hungover the next day or go over my points. I know I have those 49 bonus points but with stuffed shells on Monday & the potluck on Tuesday, I don't know how many of those I've actually used.
Eating out is def. my biggest struggle and trying to figure out what point values would be.
Hope you ladies are doing well & Kristina isn't too sore from Johnson-Forlicker! Love you guys! <3

glory days & weight watchers
I think the weight watchers points are already on the nutrional guide for glory days. Today when I'm looking at the nutional guide, at the top it says "unofficial points", and that # is equal to the # I got the other day when I was plugging them into the calculator. How easy! Stuff like this will help me out.
Ok, I really need to stop procrasonating!!

#teacherproblems
Starting weight watchers around Christmas time was stupid. Starting weight watchers around Christmas time as a teacher was really stupid.
Yesterday a former student brought me about 20 cookies that were all homemade, today I got a bag of chocolate & caramel, and another girl brought me chic-fil-a for breakfast. I told my students that if they wanted to eat breakfast in class, they had to bring me some. My request was 3 piece chicken mini (usually I get the 4- look, portions! lol) and a diet coke (but really, I wanted the lemonade but again, I'm not giving up extra point for a lemonade. I'd rather eat my points than drink them). I did pack myself some oranges that I might snack on a little later. And I'm about to play around with the calculater and Glory Days nutrional values to see what I should eat today for lunch.
However, yesterday was ok.... I had my orange and 24 ounces of water before 10 am again. But lunch we had an English potluck. I could have done a lot better, so I came home and had a chicken caesear salad for dinner and then a 4 point dessert. Those smart one desserts are good but it is like 4 points for 4 bites.
I need to get focused and grade so I can not worry about stuff over break! Holla!

Feeling Great!
So, I know I'm not, but I already feel skinnier...I'm in the mindset now...I've eaten healthy for the past two days, Josh has been SUPER supportive and just the fact that I'm eating better I can already feel a difference. I've slept great the past two days and I feel like my pants are already looser (but they aren't)....
...
I'm concerned about Christmas...because I am getting goat cheese...and I'll eat the whole thing....but my goal is to make good on my daily points...and save all my weekly points for goat cheese....AND....ONLY ALLOWING MYSELF CHRISTMAS DAY...not the day before and the three days after.....
ONE DAY....of blissful goat cheese eating....THAT IS ALL.
I hope it works....After Christmas, we're home free ladies...we can do this!!!
Skinny Skinny Skinny....I can't wait!
Good Luck with your workout today Buck! I'm routin' for ya, you're going to be hot!

warning: I needed to vent
I'm such an emotional eater and it is taking a lot right now to talk myself out of getting doughnuts for breakfast.
weigh in day: I think I might keep with Sunday, especially if Kristina is thinking about that day. With tennis season (and conditioning starting in January), I know I will not want to go and will not be able to go later at night. 2pm on a Sunday is right in the middle of the day, but Sunday is usually my lazy day anyway, so it'll get me out of the house for a little bit.
yesterday fucking sucked. Let me cliff note it
1. got a $1000 check in the mail. No joke. b/c I'm part Indian, there was this court case recently and we won and b/c it affected my age range (or something like that), I got part of the settlement- $1000. So, I started doing my happy dance!! yahoo new iphone, credit card, and a little shopping.
2. got a bill for $1500 and saying my mortgage was going to increase b/c somehow my homeowner's insurance went up from $479 a year to $1222 a year. So, I spent a lot of yesterday afternoon on the phone and crying to Papa b/c I didn't know what to do. In addition to it going up, it hasn't even been a year yet... I was guaranteed my rate for a year, yet it is changing this much. It was my escrow account (I still don't full understand this) and papa said it was normal for it to change $100 give or take each year, but not $1500 worth.
In situations like this, I want to eat or have a glass of wine. I told Papa I felt too guilty to buy my new phone now, but he kept telling me to go out and buy it, so that helped. And he said he was going to talk to my stepmom about some options to help me out. Literally, it was an extremely bipolar day.
Right now I have an extreme headache from not sleeping well. But let me talk about the good from yesterday in my first official weight watchers day!
breakfast: orange and 24 ounces of water
lunch: 6 point tv dinner & 2 point rice krispie treat
snack: string cheese & preportioned broccoli & cheese - both 1 point
dinner: caesar salad & stuffed shells
Ok, so I'm sure my dinner was more 29 points. I forgot to dip my salad in dressing instead of pouring it on! I also didn't eat anything past 7pm. If I can get into that habit, that would be great. Oh, and Bryan came over for dinner last night (with flowers, cue the "awwwwwwwws" b/c I warned him I was having a bad day), so I did have some physical activity and maybe earned back a point! haaa.
Kristina- did you get started with Johnson-Forlicker last night? Tyler texted me a picture of him with my BFFL Jr.!
Today's challenge is going to be the potluck the English department is having. I'm just going to have to take half the size I would usually get or skip the dessert b/c I bought some great looking WW desserts that I can snack on when I get home.
I'm serious this time, and I'm so glad we are doing this together! And I can't believe you bitches read all of this! Ya'll are the best! <3
My motivational song for the moment!

Updated my ticker to include my 5% goal, by New Years, may be a strong one, but I'm feeling it!
I have to pee.
I've already drank 24 ounces of water since I've been at school. Big improvement for me.
Ok, time to get back to watching kids take their midterm. woo.

Weight Watechers....Meet your Maker FAT ASS
Weight: 176.2 - Fattest I've ever been in my life, need to lose 60-70lbs to be in my healthy weight range.
Total Points / Day - 26....(that's the lowest you can get apparently, so the good news is my points won't get less than that...)
Kara - those fruit cups I bought at Wal-mart are 2 points each...not 0...WTF, FAIL.
Yesterday for dinner, I made Shrimp Fried Rice, it was 8 points per serving, and pretty damn delicious...Josh even liked it! (That never happens)
I stayed within my points yesterday, even had an ice cream bar for dessert, whoop!
Today, brought a lunch, have a plan...haters gonna hate.
I can do this. Today I woke up and when I looked in the mirror, I said to myself OUT LOUD. This is the LAST MONDAY I'll ever be THIS fat....

cheers to skinny bitches
Well, I made sure to splurge today b/c I need to get my shit together for real this time. If only I burned calories every time I complained about my weight, I would already be a skinny ass bitch.
Here it is- I'm 238.2. fuck. I get 39 points a day. For my height, I should weigh between 135-169. I want to be at 150-160; my high school weight except I want to keep my big boobs. Let's face it, I've always had the black girl booty.
What I liked about Weight Watchers:
1. Obviously, it works.
2. lots of recipes adjusted for WW
3. the calculator on the website that I just figured out how to work, thanks to BFFL
4. having the both of you (plus Bryan) to go through this with me
5. stickers. I want to earn stickers!!!
6. accountability
What I dislike about Weight Watchers:
1. my mac n cheese from glory days is 20 points
I'm not going to lie, I'm still thinking about getting it. I figure if I do my orange for breakfast = 0 points, mac n cheese for lunch = 20 points, I still have 19 points for a light dinner. Worse comes to worse, I have those 49 weekly points. I like the mathematics behind this and having to be smart to figure out points.
For tomorrow, I already peeled my orange for breakfast = 0. I packed my lunch- weight watchers meal = 6 points, rice krispy treat = 2 points, and then for dinner I'm making stuffed shells and salad. I'm sure that will be a lot of points. Originally, I was just going to do stuffed shells b/c the English department is having a pot luck Tuesday, so I would make extra for myself. BUT, I figure if I make myself a salad and have less shells, it might work out better. Plus, Bryan is coming over to taste my famous stuffed shells.
Well, I'm off to play on pinterest to find some good recipes and to play on the weight watchers website. Oh, I feel a new obsession coming on.
I'm glad we are all doing this together, so when summer comes, we will all be smoking as we lay out at Rita's pool laughing at the moms with the $400 strollers!!

need to get my shit together
I'm awake at 7am on a Saturday morning. However, I fell asleep around 11, so I at least got a quality 8 hours in. I am just going to lay in bed with Chimi for a while and at least post to keep up with you.
Food journey- bullshit. I have been eating more often than ever, even when I'm not hungry. Ya, I sometimes eat when I'm bored, but at least that is controlled. I feel like I'm just eating to be eating. Tyler and I have been going out a lot during 2nd period and this is after I already eat a breakfast, so I eat 2 breakfasts. We said yesterday that we have to be better about that. Little changes.
Rita- your plan sounds awesome!!! It is just getting started and getting into a routine. Once that happens, you'll probably start freaking out that you haven't gotten your workout in or done something when it was supposed to be done. I don't have the motivation like you. If I just took my big butt outside, I'd be ok. I'm hoping once tennis starts, I'll feel better. However, I know I shouldn't wait until February to get my butt into gear. PS- I miss you.
BFFL- You really are a one woman show and I admire you so much for that. I feel like if I was in your position (and not just with Adam, but you have a 1 month old baby), I'd be an emotional ball of mess. And I'm so happy for you that you have gotten your shit together and will be working with Johnson-Forlicker and joining weight watchers. I know you'll be so happier doing that. How do you have so much energy?! LOL
On another note, I've just been busy as a bee lately. I worked the basketball game Thursday night and I met Bryan's parents. So nervous! It's a completely different relationship than with Justin. There are some things that I miss about the relationship with Justin when I'm with Bryan, but then there are so many more things that I'm thankful for now that I'm dating Bryan. I guess it is just being in a new relationship and having to figure things out. I'm so happy that next week is exam week, so I have no school work to do this weekend! Phew!
When are you both free? We need to figure something out and have a BFFL date. Since I'm off soon, maybe Kristina and I can meet Rita at Baker's Crust again! Oh, and I'm off Friday, so maybe we can plan something for later in the afternoon if Rita still works half days on Friday.
Early New Year's resolution- getting better about blogging, even if it is just to stop by and say "what up my bitches?!"
love you both (and my BFFL Jr.!)

Top 'o the morning to ya!
It's 4:30 am....
Food yesterday-- Clementine, rice cakes, raisins, cheese, and then burger at bonefish. I don't think that was too terrible.
Wellness-- I'm going to join weight watchers today. I'm pretty determined this go around. My reasoning is that julies wedding is in may and I don't want to be the fat ugly aunt... I've got to be able to hang with the 22 yr old chippys!
Emotions- seems that I may have gotten worried about Adam for no reason. He was better with Christian. I think Rita is right in the stress thing. He and I deal with stress so differently. But I still maintain the fact that he's going to have to pitch in a lot more when I go back to work.
Holler at you girls later!

Reply to Buck - Let's DO this #NoOneToBlameButMySelf
I'm so proud of you - I have been eating like a COW...and it shows.
I've decided that I need to do this, not only for me, but for my husband, my puppy, my mom, and you guys...I know it sounds sappy and stupid, but it's selfish to eat like I eat, not exercise and not take care of myself. I've been to these funerals, I don't want you guys to have to do that...because I was a fat lazy lard ass...I'm unhappy and I'm the only one that can change my life in that regard. I have a bowflex. I have an elliptical. I have money to purchase healthy food. I have absolutely NOTHING but excuses. Yesterday I said I'd start today, today I'm saying I'll start tomorrow. BULLSHIT. It starts right now.
Plan:
Wake at 6am - Coffee/News/Karma Feed and Out
6:30a - 7:15a - Change/Stretch/Elliptical/Stretch
7:15a - 7:45a - Shower/Dress
7:45a - 8:00a - Probably Still Doing Something...#AlwaysLate
8:00a - Leave for Work
8:30 - 5:30p - Work (M-TH)
5:30p - 6:15p - Drive home
Then I MUST do the FOLLOWING:
-Fix Dinner
-Pack Lunch for Work
-Set out outfit
THEN I'd LIKE TO:
-Take Karma for a Walk
I'm going to try - starting tomorrow to stick to this for two weeks...that doesn't seem long, but in Rita world...it's HUGE.
Also - when this shitty daylight darkness shit ends, I'll be shifting back to my 7:30a to 4:30 work day so that means, getting up at 5am! Right now I figure there is no point waking up early to go to work if it's still dark when I leave at 4:30....so fuck it I'll sleep an extra hour and ease into this exercise thing so hopefully, I can actually stick with it...
Yeah teachers, shut up I know, you do that already blah blah blah...
Glad you folks are blogging again....
Also, Kristina - about Adam...we talked about this...separation of duties shit...I think you set the bar high but being all Kristina Independent, not to blame you, that's just you, but he needs to step it up. Is it that he's not helping or that he seems withdrawn from the baby...if he's just not helping I wouldn't be surprised....that's our men...if he's withdrawn, I'd be a little concerned! Consider this though...he's also been REALLY busy at work, he's under a lot of stress with his dad...not to say you aren't, but you are a CHAMP, he handles stress alot differently than you...Also, he could have just gotten his period like Josh, perhaps one day their menses will sync and we can go through this together!
Love them boys! Love you gals!
Good morning!
Well, here I am once again, up at the ass crack of dawn with Christian. I really wish he was sleeping a little longer than 3 hr. intervals. Hopefully he'll start going for longer stretches. This isn't so bad while I'm not working; it's going to suck when i go back.
Wellness- feeling pretty motivated to shed these lbs. I've cut out snacking during the day; this has helped me focus on actual meals for lunch and dinner. In the mornings I usually have a clementine or yogurt, that's healthy, right? Lunch varies from day to day and dinner is usually healthy choices. I made grilled chicken breasts on the Forman grill. I had one chicken breast and a side of rice cakes. Adam had two breasts, Brussels and a baked potato. Adam wants to lose the baby weight too!
How are your weight journeys going? Ri ri- spoke with Jillian and I think we are going to start training sessions soon. Light work outs for me until I'm fully cleared. Can't wait until I'm completely healed!
Adam- just gotta express my concern in this category. He was great with Christian for the first two weeks and now I think he's got post pardom instead of me! He acts like he doesn't want anything to do with the baby. Doesn't talk to him, hold him, feed him, or change diapers. I'm hoping this is just an adjustment phase. I'm pretty much a one woman show. I justify it by telling myself he's working and I'm not so I should be doing everything. But once I go back to work things are going to have to change. Hopefully he'll step up to the plate for that.
Okay, I'm done.
Love ya bitches!

Oh, Monday
Got weighed today at the doctor's office. Oye, I needed to look away. I took pictures with Dani this weekend- oye, moo. I need a little motivation.
Today has been some day, starting at 7am when I felt the need to text Justin about Hicks... I feel like I had more drama today than I have all week. On the plus side, I had today off for the girl doctor, but I'm in a little bit of pain b/c it wasn't a normal check-up and I'm still on my period.
I just wanted to drop by and say hey bitches. Hope ya'll had a good weekend. I'm going to need a pedicure this week if you guys want to sneak away for a little bit, I'm ready!

The 35 Day Sit-up and Push-up Challenge: Day FOUR
Day 4
So let's talk about this challenge....to sum it up, rockin' it.
Day 1: Destroyed it.
Day 2: Kristina was my witness as I did my two sit-ups and two push-ups in Christians Room on the floor.
Day 3: Did my three sit-ups and three push-ups in my closet before my shower. Nailed it.
Day 4: Did my four sit-ups and four push-ups in the bedroom before my shower....push-ups are getting tough, I got a little shaky on numero 4.

Hullo ladies,
hope your work days are going smoothly :) My work days have certainly changed over the past couple of weeks. Taking care of Christian is proving to be a full time job in itself -- but i am enjoying every minute of it!!
So here's my day:
didn't eat breakfast - yea, i know, that's bad.
I had two slices of left over pizza for lunch
snacked on some gold fish and trail mix
then had two chicken tenders and fries for dinner
Finished off my day w/ a yogurt as an evening snack.
As of the last blog, I was down 30 Lbs. Unfortunately, since i stopped pumping, the weight is not falling off as it was ....stupid broken boobs.
My new life in photos:



And this final picture is just classy!

a fat person's heaven or hell?
Did a little shopping today b/c I got $30 Kohls cash from black Friday shopping + a 15% off coupon = yay! My intention was just to get stuff for my stepmom, and I did get her a sweater. But, then I got myself something. Leggings.
I love leggings and yoga pants. I know big girls probably shouldn't wear leggings, but I feel like I'm pretty proportionate, so it isn't too bad. Plus, I think leggings make my ass look great and there is no button to smash on my belly. Verdict, ladies? I have a pair I wear under skirts or dresses, but this pair is thick enough to wear as pants. AND, it might happen this weekend. Dani is coming into town, so I think Saturday night we are going to the Short Pump area hitting the nicer bars out there. Ready to get a babysitter, Kristina? You guys should come out!!
Ok, I have a lot of work to go do. Happy Thursday! <3

get in mah belly
Yay, let's get back to blogging! :)
I was so happy to cuddle with Christian yesterday. I'm so not a baby person, but since he was just curled up on me, it was perfect. I can't wait to see the pictures that Rita took; I know they are going to be amazing.
Chimi is curled up on me, and I just finished eating dinner- mac n cheese with chicken and bacon sprinkled on top. Winning. Any type of healthy habits I had totally went out the window. I can feel it in my clothes and see it in the way I look. I'm starting to get to be a debbie downer, so Kristina... tell me when we are walking! I'll come out to you! And I might bring Chimi a few times, and if he doesn't walk, I'll throw him in the backyard tohump play with Roscoe & Stanley.
I miss both you bitches.

In the words of Arnold...."i'll be back..."
Okay, corny title, i know.
I am back in blogging action!! IT'S TIME TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT BITCHES!!!!!!!!! IT'S GO TIME!!!
So far i'm down 30 lbs...lots of baby and water weight is gone. Now is where my work begins. My originial plan of losing weight through nursing / pumping fell through -- go fucking figure that would happen to me. Of course, I have these huge boobs and they don't even work!!!! NO GOOD!
I'm going to begin a walking regiment. Some days i'll be able to take Christian with me, others I won't. Either way, i've got to get moving again. I feel like, since I'm able to put my sneakers on by myself, I must embrace the opportunity and go walking.
Food -- i'm slowly trying to get out of the eating like a horse/preggo mode and get back to being a human being. I must say, i am glad I can drink diet coke again :)
so here is my post preggo to do list:
GET MY SHIT TOGETHER!!!
p.s. I kinda think we need these shirts :)

Small Goals, Big Dreams
So...
As of today there are 35 days until the New Year, and with that in mind I have decided that I'm going to partake in a new self made challenge. Based off the 100 Day Burpee Challenge (cause that's stupid, painful and unrealistic for sure)
...I have decided on a smaller goal that is the 35 Day Sit-up and Push-up Challenge.
The idea is quite simple, here's how it goes:
Day One: One Sit-up and One Push-up
Day Two: Two Sit-ups and Two Push-ups
Day Three: Three Sit-ups and Three Push-ups
...you get the idea....
I know that 35 doesn't sound like much, but once January 1 rolls around I would have done 630 Sit-ups and 630 Push-ups, Combined Total: 1260
And I think that's pretty impressive, and of course I'll blog about it here, so you guys can follow along and hopefully (Get Your Shit Together) and motivate me.
Feel free to join in - Kristina, it may be a little hard since you are still healing...but Kara...get in on this.
Love you ladies...I'm not giving up on us yet...so if you need me, I'll be here blogging, like a BOSS.

btiches, I'm back
Well, after talking to you guys this weekend, I'm back! And to be honest, I was too ashamed to blog b/c I know I was eating shit and not doing a thing to help my weight. But, I agree with Kristina, I really like the idea of blogging just to gossip with you guys! I've been catching up and reading all the good stuff I've missed!
I had such a great weekend with you guys! I absolutely love you both and am so happy to have both of your friendships! Thank you for always keeping me going, making me laugh, telling me the truth,distracting me, giving me great advice, and being such great friends to me! I love you ladies!
PS- When I was driving home, I saw a cop patting someone down. All I could think about was Breena feeling bad for her comment (even though she had to reason to!!! LOL) and be like, yup, my neighborhood. And then I think about her throwing up! lol, it was too funny to me.

last day of work
HELLLOOOO THERE!!!
I've neglected my blogging duties....again. I'm still here, and i'm still reading :)
Today is my last day of work until January. Super stoked about this -- just hope i prepared my sub enough for my classes. Oh well...they'll survive, right??
So this morning, I think I felt my first braxton hicks contraction (fake contractions). It was really weird...my belly was rock hard. I mean, it's usually pretty firm, but it was like touching cement. Didn't really hurt, just weird. I'm sure the contraction stuff that i'm about to experience next Wednesday will be 1000x worse.
I'll be glad when the baby gets here, and my husband stops being a nervous wreck!!! He'll be a different kind of nervous wreck after the baby arrives...but hopefully he'll stop being a jerk!! Ri Ri has heard most of it, but to reiterate -- we fought about fucking curtains...CURTAINS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!! He didn't like the curtains i picked out for the baby's room, said I had no decorating sense (which i don't really ), had bland taste, and our kid was going to be fucked up. Of course, hormonal me, starts crying, and I told him he was right that I didn't have any sense of taste--i chose to marry him! Naturally, that little fling back at him didn't go over well. Long story short , he apologized and is just as obsessed w/ the baby's room as me -- he loves it!! He loves to open the door and just peak in the room all the time.
I have one week left of life being all about me. This is a bitter sweet feeling. On one hand, i am so excited to bring my son into the world, and on the other-- holy shit, i'm bringing a son into the world!! What if i really do fuck up my kid??? OYE! It's a good thing I have supported people, such as yourselves, around me to help me not fuck up my kid. Or least, tell me when i'm about to fuck up my kid (which I hope you two do that!!).
In conclusion, i'll leave you two with this picture:

Love ya bitches!

I am about to have a FUCKING STROKE
My blood pressure right now is off the fucking charts. I can't believe this bitch. I have NEVER been so angry at the human race. Are you kidding me I knew I shouldn't have looked but I did....and now I am seeing RED. This is unbelievable.
Look what I found on facebook today:
Exhibit A: "Lives in MATHEWS, VIRGINIA" - NO YOU DON'T
Exhibit D: Her classes get cancelled due to hurricane...this bitch posts...Near Mathews VA
Exhibit E: She's bored...does she bother helping out around the HOUSE that she "LIVES" in...
Seeing red...seeing fucking BLOOD RED.
OH MY GOD.....I'm not sure who I'm more mad at Him or Her, but since he's dead to me I guess it's her.
I can't take it...I can't take someone blatantly abusing a handicapped person....especially my mother. Someone needs to talk me off the ledge.
Look what I found on facebook today:

NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR.....SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Why don't you carry your nasty STD ass to your PARENTS house where you FUCKING BELONG.

I kicked the SHIT...out of those boxes
Kickboxing - Day 3
WOOT. I'm really thinking that I could be talked into Seal Team or something---I'm liking this...
however, I'm sore as hell...
Here's an update:
Dinner last night: Salad and 9 Bagel Bites (It could have been worse)
I also finished my LAST cupcake from my birthday - although I still have banana pudding left to eat.
Today:
Breakfast: Coffee, 1 splenda with Cinnamon/Vanilla Creamer
Lunch: Leftovers from party (VERY SMALL) and one WW Cheeseburger in case I'm STARVING
Snack (if needed) yogurt.
On another note - I feel DEATHLY dehydrated, so my goal today is to drink a lot of water to replenish.
Tonight: Not sure - probably candy, it's halloween, plus little man is coming over to trick or treat WOOT!
Love you guys...
Hey Kristina - if Christian gets bullied when he grows up, I'm telling him this. I put it in the blog so I could remember it.

Birthday IS....over. Time to get back on track.
I had a bit of an extended weekend, thanks the Hurricane Sandy(Vagina) - that's what I'm calling her, Hurricane SandyVagina.
But, today we were back to work - and the hurricane was gone.
Now, it's time to get started.
Here goes:
Name: Rita Barlow
Actual Age: 29
Perceived Age: 49
Aches: Everywhere
Weight: 169.2
Thoughts: If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
Food:
Breakfast: Half cup coffee, with 1 splenda and Pumpkin Pie Creamer
Lunch: Left over Taco Soup (Amanda Made) - she said it was about 5 points a serving, it was pretty good for me.
Dinner: Not sure - (?)
Exercise: Kickboxing 7:30-8:30, with Kara, and the Hell Trainer, that is too good to work out with us....
Post Blogging Thoughts: Exercising is good, but the fast food dinner I'll probably pick up on the way home is bad.
Also, someone brought me Banana Pudding from Ukrops (2 Containers) and Cupcakes from the west end cupcake store...so eventually (before things go bad) they will need to be eaten.
However, if I tell you it won't be a bad thing right? So I'll be sure to tell you when I eat them! Hooray!
Also, I found out that when we go to the bathroom, we are doing it wrong...see instructions below:

a picture for Kristina, hahahahaha
I haven't checked the blog in a while, so I need to get caught up.
Food = ehhhhhhhhhh, no comment.
Working out = ehhhhhh, I'm finally not sore from kickboxing! I've signed up for Sunday, Tuesday, and I plan on signing up for the next Friday. Get ready, Rita!!
life = is good. I have an extreme amount of things to do, and I'm trying to figure out how I'll get them done or when I get them done.
Currently = I'm sitting on the couch taking a break from grading (almost all of my quizzes are graded, moving on to essays. At least my next two weeks are planned, I just need to make copies) and Chimi is sitting on my arm on the arm of the couch.
Kristina, time to come up with a legit action plan for school! Those suckers better run to me! Miss you guys! I'm hoping for no rain on Saturday b/c I'm ready for a good time with you guys!!!
<3 love you guys!

progress...YIKES!
SHIT JUST GOT REAL, LADIES!
I'm a little over 2cm dialated and 50% efaced. I nearly fell off the table when the doc told me that. I'm so excited, I can't stand it!! Poor Adam, isn't feeling the same excitement as me. He came home w/ a case of beer and paint for the baby's room. I think he's feeling the pressure a lot more now. This kid is coming, regardless if we are ready or not.
A couple photos for thought :)

(p.s. a student asked me if this happens when you go into labor yesterday)
I swear my nesting is broken...



Aiight ladies, i'll holla at you two later :)
Think good labor thoughts for me! Love ya both!

Goal Status: Level FAILED
Since I set a goal date, and a goal. I thought I owe it to you guys and myself to see where I stood.
It is now -2 days since my goal date....
My weight yesterday was 171.2 0 which means....I gained 0.6 pounds instead of losing 10.
yup. truth.
So....let me tell you how I feel:
Needless to say, I'm disappointed in myself. There is no one else to blame.
This is my body. This is my health. I need to get my shit together.
That said...there have been some positive changes over the past three months for me.
Positive Changes:
I have to find a lifestyle I can be happy with and something I can sustain....and while I search for that lifestyle change I feel that if I am at least making exercise a priority and being conscience of what I eat then I am giving my self a positive head start.
That all being said, it's time to make a new goal for myself.
....hmmm....
...well, it's the hardest time of year to diet...wanna know why?
I think I do well with short term goals....I get distracted in the long run and fail. (clearly)....
...So I think my new goal is going to be "Baby Christian" along with Kristina...and mine is going to be 5lbs.
Drop 5lbs in 25 days....
That is on average 0.2lbs a day and 1.4 lbs a week.
That is my goal.
Updating the ticker!
Wish me luck....
...and let me just say...
Thank you ladies, for continuing to log on...for continuing to try with me and for continuing to be inspiration. It helps to know that I'm not doing this alone...I'm proud of us! (Even if we fail)
It is now -2 days since my goal date....
My weight yesterday was 171.2 0 which means....I gained 0.6 pounds instead of losing 10.
yup. truth.
So....let me tell you how I feel:
- ashamed
- lazy
- like I let myself down....who can't lose 10lbs in three months....I started of strong...and let my lack of will keep me from reaching my goal.
Needless to say, I'm disappointed in myself. There is no one else to blame.
This is my body. This is my health. I need to get my shit together.
That said...there have been some positive changes over the past three months for me.
Positive Changes:
- The first soda I had in three months was on my birthday and it was one diet pepsi at Vinny's.
- I started 5:30 runs on days that don't include Kickboxing with Kara.
- I've successfully blogged for 3 months
- Kickboxing with Kara!
I have to find a lifestyle I can be happy with and something I can sustain....and while I search for that lifestyle change I feel that if I am at least making exercise a priority and being conscience of what I eat then I am giving my self a positive head start.

....hmmm....
...well, it's the hardest time of year to diet...wanna know why?
- Thanksgiving
- Cold weather (warm food)
- Pumpkin flavored things

- Pumpkin Flavored things
- Oktoberfest Beer
- Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays

- oh....and pumpkin flavored everything!

fat belly = where abs are supposed to be!
Well, I feel like I haven't posted lately, and since my wagon is fixed, I need to be!
Yesterday, Thursday, ah yes, so long ago. Half a bagel for breakfast, about 300ish calories for lunch, some pasta and sauce after school (pasta dinner for the team) but not too much. I had brought a bag of cheerios b/c I didn't plan on eating the pasta, but I ate the cheerios for a late snack at the game and came home and ate mac n cheese for dinner. It was soooooo bad, eh.
Friday! I took the day off but it was anything but relaxing. After getting up a little after 7, I lounged around 8:30 and ate a full bagel and then started my day. I needed to get last minute things for tomorrow's party, so I started at the dollar tree, walmart for what felt like ever, and then Petco b/c someone needed a new harness. Then after stopping for gas, by the time I got home, it was 10:45ish. I mowed the front and back yard until about 11:50ish. I made jello shooters until Papa came over around 12:30 to look at my wall that Chimi has been messing up, so we can get it fixed. Lounge for 30 minutes and eat a lunch of cheese and crackers, shower and get ready for field hockey fun day. I did have a few cheetos, but I gave the rest away so I wouldn't be tempted to eat them. Field hockey fun day = best day ever! Then I got home around 5:30ish and lounged again until 6:45ish and got ready for kick boxing! So, as you can see.... my day as already been constant... def not a lay around skip day.
Kickboxing was pretty awesome. I'm glad Rita was there or I would have either backed out or not have been too into it. We got our gloves and our wrap (fuck, which I just forgot to wash b/c I did a load thinking I need to wash these bitches). Then we start the warm up. Damn, I wanted to die right there! I am out of shape! Then for about the next 35 minutes, it was actual combos, hitting, and kicking AKA awesome! Followed by a 10 minute cool down where I thought I was in Hell b/c my body burned from all the crunches and shit we did. Kristina, you would definitely like it! I honestly don't think I will do it b/c it is too $$$ for me. It is $60 a month and it sounds like you only get 12 sessions for the month and you do it 3x a week. Like Rita said, we can join a gym and do all the classes we want plus machines whenever we want. The plus side was that it was only women and everyone was at all different levels. It was a pretty good workout. I def. don't think I burned 800 calories like the website said you could burn in an hour, but at least we did a new workout that pushed us.
Then we went to glory days, obviously. We both made a smart choice and got the new boneless grilled wings. I really liked them. They weren't in sauce, so you dipped them in the sauce, but I dipped mine in the ranch and ketchup. They were so juicy and came on skewers. It was just a cut up chicken breast, but appearance won me over! lol. Of course I had the mac n cheese BUT no beer! I don't think I've ever gone to glory days and not drank.
Chimi and I are in bed and my body is already hurting. The tops of my thighs, my inner arms, and my stomach where my abs are supposed to be. But, I guess that means it is working. I already signed up for Sunday's class, and Rita better too since she'll be celebrating it up on Monday! Kristina, I wish you could have come! I'm hoping we won the football game... things haven't looked too good for our team, so we need something good to happen!
I need a lot of sleep to deal with tomorrow and finish getting shit together. love ya ladies!

Yesterday, Travel Day

Yesterday I ate:
Breakfast: Non-fat pumpkin spice latte
Snack: 100 Cal. pack of nuts
Lunch: Salad from whole foods
Snack: 100 Cal pack of nuts
Dinner: Salad and Baked Ziti from Ginos
Not too bad, but I did eat alot of salad. So that's not too bad...
Kicking boxes tonight....oh boy, I'm scared.

dog for rent
I did ok with food today.
Breakfast = half a bagel and cream cheese
lunch = 220 calorie meal & a 90 calorie krispy treat
dinner = chilupa & taco loco and a beer and a half (Jaeckle & I were working on field hockey stuff, so we grabbed food)
too late of a snack = the other half of the bagel
creative workout = chasing Chimi around my neighborhood with Jaeckle for about 20 minutes. He broke his harness and escaped. He took us on an adventure. And we started just walking back, hoping he would follow, and he did. But then he just went right into the backyard and up the stairs when I went in the front door. Now I have to get him a new harness.
Between that and my crazy 5th period, thank goodness I'm not working on Friday and I'll be able to release some tension at our first kickboxing lesson!
Hope you guys had a much better night. Think skinny. <3

I ate
four servings of ukrops banana pudding yesterday. That was not my good decision of the day. The salad I ate before it was....
...also we had breakfast for dinner, not too bad, but not great....
best decision - salad, I'm going with the salad.

let's kick boxes
Ok, voucher is printed and I'm reading the fine print.
-We need to bring our own gloves, but it says we can buy them at the studio for $20 (I'll probably just buy mine there)
-We need to use this up within 30 days of our first one, so that means we are kickboxing like 3x a week!
-We need to show up 10 minutes before class on our first time since it is our first time
-Our first day is Friday at 7:30-8:30.
-I'm excited. I think this will be such an amazing workout. After Kristina pops Christian out, if we enjoy it, we might have to all do it together.
Once I figure out the field hockey schedule with disctrics & regionals, I'll be able to let you know. I think I'm able to do the late Monday class if you are able to!
Today I had half of a bagel and am trying to drink lots of water. Some days I can chug so much and others I have to force myself to do it. Kristina, before you were preggo, did you drink too much water during class and have to pee ALL the time? That's why I hate drinking water during class b/c I can't run out to pee as quickly, lol.
I weighed myself this morning and had dropped 1 pound. I guess the small changes really add up. I think these kickboxing classes are the pep in my step that I need!!!
I'm feeling very lazy and tired today. We have a late game today, so I'll be eating very late tonight. Maybe I should pack myself some cheese and crackers or a sandwich to eat during the varsity game so I'm not eating at 10 at night.
Love ya ladies!

BUH, LO, TED
Gah!
I'm so bloated, but I deserve it. Not only is it that wonderful time of the month (I know, overshare) - I also ate NOTHING but salt yesterday. I'm pretty sure I could have eaten less sodium if I was a deer and just was lickin' on a salt lick all day. Phew.
Lunch: I wanted to go to Martin's and get a salad, but it was raining...and someone said Thai delivery, so that happened. I got basil stir fry chicken with white rice and a little bit of salad...it wasn't awful for me, but it was salty.
Dinner: I was going to cook dinner, but then Josh had to go to Lowe's so I figured I'd ride with him and we'd just eat out because otherwise I'd be cooking late. So we ate at Mexico. I got the Veggie Yucatan dish which is veggies and rice - also very salty because of the sauce on top....
today....I am so bloated if I was in Oregon Trail, they would caulk me and float across the rivah.
UGh. Miserable.
Chugging water after my coffee today - hopefully to improve.
Kara - Friday Kickboxing - let's do this. I'm stoked. I'm going to embarass the shit out of myself, but don't care cause you'll be there to do it with me.

my new start
I didn't want to, but I did weigh in. I'm at 227. On the bright side, I didn't gain everything back. On the bad side, I did gain some back.
Breakfast- half of a bagel with cream cheese. I really wanted the whole bagel, but I didn't need it. I wasn't as hungry as I thought I'd be during school.
Lunch- chicken caesar salad and my rice krispy treats
snack- triscits (how do you spell this stupid cracker name?) and cheese
Dinner - whoops. 3 chili cheese dogs (ok, I tried to be a little better and I got like chicken hotdogs b/c they were less calories) and chips & chili cheese sauce dip
dessert- a couple of PB cupcs.
eh. I did have a lot of water today, so that is an improvement.
Schedule for kickboxing- omg, I'm pumped for this. However, my schedule is going to suck for the next two weeks. This week we have a game Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Friday I'm getting ready for our school party (I need to mow my yard terribly) and it is on Saturday at 2 (and Dani should be in town). I expect to see Rita with Kristina there!!The following weeks are going to be crazy as well, and your party is on the 27th. I might be able to do the Friday from 7:30-8:30. Can you?? If not, I think I can def. do the early session on Monday. I need to get up and get moving.
I'm exhausted, but luckily we are watching a movie the next two days, so I can kind of take it easy and get some work done, woot woot. However, right now I'm going to hurt Chimi b/c he is going ballistic barking at some cats.
love ya ladies!!

Monday's Food - Rita
Breakfast - Pumpkin Pop-Tarts, 8oz. Apple Juice, Coffee w. splenda and 1% milk
Lunch - ?? Martin's salad maybe (I need veggies)

I think I figured out my problem. I think it's the ? mark....whatcha think?

Dinner - ??
I think I figured out my problem. I think it's the ? mark....whatcha think?
Okay - Here it is.
This is our motivational speech.
It's Monday - a clean start to the week. We should have all weighed in today. Me personally, at 169.0 - no loss...and a little gain.
Now...it's over. It's behind us. Let's get back on track.
I didn't run this morning because I straight slept through my alarm....but...I will try to run after work.
Just do this - make ONE healthy decision today. Whether it be exercise, a food choice....water instead of soda, etc. (Thanks Kristina)
Today, I woke up and ate breakfast, so that counts....
Baby steps = life style change!
Guys, I don't want to diminish us at all but let's face....stupid people are in shape....think of all the bone heads and jocks there are...that are not fat....and they are dumb as this keyboard I'm pounding on....if those pricks can do it we can too...it's not rocket science.
Let's get the bodies we want.... :)
Kara - we must start kickboxing this week - that is your goal. tell me what day(s) work for you.

slacking
I have been eating like a bum that walked into a free buffet.
I have given up on myself and haven't been holding back on what I've been eating. But then I got an email today.... Candy sent the bridesmaids a list of 30 different dresses (about 5 of them I liked), and it hit me that I need to put my fat ass into another bridesmaid dress. I can't be too worried about the dress b/c Sherri is being put into a dress and another bridesmaid is about 5'2 and is a pretty healthy girl as well. At least I'm somewhat proportioned.
I haven't weighed myself in weeks b/c I'm so nervous, but I need to stop fucking around and get back on track. So, tomorrow am I will weigh myself. I'm sure I'll be starting over at ground zero. Those fucking doughnuts yesterday from the Amish people were totally worth it though.
On that note, time to bake cupcakes.... for senior night tomorrow :)
I'm getting super pumped for halloween!!!!!!! yayayayayay

wowzer...i ate a lot.
Alli fun day was very successful. My brother wound up making $8000. This money will be split between FYSA (youth soccer org) and a scholarship for a Fluvanna high school female athlete. Needless to say, i'm quite impressed with the turnout for that little fundraiser my brother and sister-in-law organized.
As mentioned in an earlier post, I planned on eating whenever and whatever I wanted this weekend. Well, I can tell ya that I didn't go back on my promise. I ate whatever i felt like eating -- most of it was not good. My breakfast started out with frosted mini-wheats. When I got to fluvanna, i ate a salt bagel. then at lunch time, i ate another salt bagel. I had two diet cokes (cafine free), snickers, smarties, and then the grand finale was at Rivahsyde Cafe with Ri Ri. I like to go to this little hole in the wall resturant b/c Alli used to work there. My dinner consisted of three deliciously fried chicken tenders and two whole baskets of french fries. YIKES!! Theeeennn, i got home and Adam had pizza -- yup, i ate a piece of that too. I really went to hell w/ myself.
Now, i'm currently working on a paper that is due today. Actually, i would have had to work on two papers today if it weren't for Ri Ri's bullshitting skills (she wrote one of my papers yesterday). Thanks for that, Ri Ri! As I'm working on this final paper for my class, I have continued the shit food decisions. I seriously need to eat a veggie or a fruit today. My poor kid is going to have the worst eating habbits.
I hope your weekends are proving to have better choices than mine. Gotta weigh in on Monday and start the quality decision making again.
Here's a little food for thought :)

Oye.
Hello to my favorite ladies!

Ya mad brah...
So it's baby/senior citizen/ teenager day today at school and I must say i'm having quite a bit of fun acting like a teenager. A pregnant one at that! Ri Ri , you should see Kara in her curlers and lipstick everywhere but on her lips. HILARIOUS! I'm going to tell ya what, spirit week couldn't have come at a better week for me...especially working the football game tomorrow.
Food - yikes. I had a bad breakfast this morn -- bacon and potato rounds with Milk from Ukrops. Don't judge, it just looked so incrediably good and I was so incrediably hungry.
Lunch - grapes and chips possibly
dinner - not sure yet.
The Positive note, i've been drinking water from my non-hole tervis like a fein.
6 more weeks left of being fat for me!! Home stretch, I see you! :)
Holla atcha girls lata!

where you bitches at?
Well, I had good intention today. Ya, about that.
I started off the day with cheerios.
Then the school had panera, so I had a bagel with some cream cheese.
Lunch = 300 calorie mac n cheese microwavable meal (surprisingly somewhat tasty), cucumbers, & 90 cal snack.
Dinner = oh, dinner. Well, I told Justin I'd bring him dinner (from Sonic) if he let Chimi out for me today after school. However, our game was cancelled and I had a massive headache, so I still brought over food. Whoops, milkshake (which I had been craving since yesterday), bacon cheeseburger, and mozzarella sticks
Ok, tomorrow has to be better. I know it was only a small weight loss, but I felt better about myself when I had that little weight loss. I haven't weighed myself because I am so nervous to see the new number.
Hope Rita had a nice day off (I've liked the flashback pictures) and Kristina enjoyed PJ day as much as I did. Hope your wagons are strolling along nicely. I ran out of gas, but I just filled that sucker up!
<3
Ok, here is a flashback picture for me. I want to get back to that body. I still had some meat on me, but not like nasty, rancid meat...

Today, I failed
So this week, I was doing really well. I was getting up every morning at 5:30, running and eating breakfast before work. I am feeling great (besides sleepy) because of it, and pretty damn proud of myself. Not sure what happened last night, but I did not have an alarm set today. I think I turned it off in the middle of the night, I vaguely remember that. OOPS, fail. I feel guilty. Gotta get back on it.
This weeks stats:
Monday - Thursday
Status: still FAT
Calories burned: 401 (weak)
Miles run: 2.9 (weaker)
Weight, still up....I have 17 days till my doctor tells me I failed my first goal. Fuck that bitch, sitting on her cloud of judgement, handing down life lessons to all the fat sinners. Seriously, she has stressed me out more than ever, and then she'll tell me I'm too stressed and I need to relax. Bitch you called me fat.
This is my life. It needs to be balanced. It needs to be healthy. It needs to be honest. It needs to be successful. It needs love. It needs happiness. It needs friendship. It needs family. It needs puppies.
My body needs nutrition. My body needs movement. My body needs sustenance.
It does NOT need asshole doctors applying pressure to be skinny. Who does that bitch think she is, and let's be honest, she could drop a few pounds too. Just sayin'....cloud of judgement, I just popped a hole in that motha.
I mean I get it, I need to make better decisions. I'm okay with that. If that bitch calls me fat, she's losing her license to practice medicine. (Not bragging, but I've gotten good at it)
Seriously considering canceling this appointment - it's just a checkup, how do we, as a group, feel about that....I feel great, I don't need a checkup I need that bitch to check herself before I wreck herself.
Boom.
That is all.
However, is cancelling a cop out?? I am many things...a pussy I am not.
Nut up or bail out?
LYLAS Mutha fuckers.
(P.S. - let's do this (sike!))

wagon shop
I need to get back into daily blogging because I need to make myself accountable and to correct myself on days I'm being a fat tub of lard.
I ate cheerios for breakfast. good.
I ate a 300 calorie frozen meal that looked like shit, literally, but tasted delicious and a 90 calorie snack. good.
I ate a piece of cake. fuck it b/c it was good.
I ate mac n cheese for dinner with a snickers bar for dessert. eh.
So, if I was going for a 2000 calorie diet, I'd be ok. But that cake was my fault and I'll blame some of it on Tyler. We decided that we just randomly need a cake to get us through the months and after talking about it all 2nd period on Tuesday, I went and got us one and had "Happy Hump Day" on it. It's hard to be in a bad mood when you get to eat cake that says that.
I have ground turkey pulled out for dinner tomorrow, so I'll try and whip something up.
Now, onto things I've learned today:
1. the correct way to spell KNIGHTS is "k n i e (it was like a backwards g that looked like an e) g t s.
2. After having a baby, all that jank comes out with it. You don't have a cord still inside your biscuit connecting to the baby's belly button.
3. Don't say "Happy Hump Day" around 9th graders b/c they thought the cake was about us humping, not about it being Wednesday.
4. A boy said he wouldn't want to become a teacher if that is what is really going on... humping. I was just glad to know some of our boys are still that cute and innocent.
5. The baby's head is kinda soft and mushy so you can fit it through your biscuit, & that bitch will get sewn up.
6. I know how to make a baby. I just don't know what having the baby actually entails. I hope Kristina tells us all the stuff ppl never do.
7. If Christian pees on me while changing his diaper, I might be forced to retaliate and pee on him too. PS- I've never changed a diaper.
8. If you follow an old woman through the aisles of Goodwill, you'll get the perfect outfit for "senior citizen day" at school
9. Kristina and I are being twins on Tuesday.
10. I love you ladies! my wagon is slowing getting fixed and I'm ready to do this!!
