I've eaten extremely terribly & the scale is there is to show. I've been feeling extra fatty this week. It is so hard for me to get home at a decent time and make an actual dinner. It has been KFC or pizza or Subway or this and that. I'm going to try and start making bigger dinners the day before, so I can easily heat up leftovers.

On the bright side, I'm so excited for today!!!! Can't wait to see ya'll and celebrate Young Buck!

Love ya guys!

Whale, Whale, Whale, Someone's got JOKES.

So let's talk about some things ladies....I know that we have all had a rough couple of weeks it seems like but basically, I've done a little research and have found that life could MOST DEFINITELY be worse.  We could be one year old and stuffed into a pink bunny costume, in broad daylight and be forced to hang from a swing. Please draw your attention to exhibit A, below. 

Now let's talk beauty tips, I came across this gem earlier today and decided it was something we could learn from.  The lesson here is that if you ever shave/wax  your eyebrows off you don't have to lose hope.  You can simply tattoo ivy vines on instead and no one will ever notice.  Also, you can detract even MORE attention by putting on candy corn colored eye shadow.  Your welcome for that helpful tip. Make sure you pin that under "useful information"

Now on to our weight loss, I know that usually we feel like the image below, where if we step on the scale we most certainly come away crying our eyes out....

But there is hope - all we need to do is hire a Cat to keep us from ruining our own diet. Again, internet research proves that a weight loss cat is highly effective in diet and portion control.  Just take a look a the example below. 

Either way I do spend a lot of my time, like my stick figured friend below. Too bad that sonofa bitch is a stick figure and doesn't even need to worry about the food he eats...what an asshole being up in here talking about how he can't eat anymore food, get that stick shit out of here. PUHLEASE.

That's my advice for the day....and I'll tell you if anyone talks shit you just go all baby deer on their asses and make shit happen....trust me, you confront them like this and they won't say a peep! 

At the end of the day, the only thing I can say is "Dance Like No One is  Watching" - I mean this girl (?) clearly did and she (?) looks like she (?) is having a wonderful time. I mean...you can't fake a fun face like that! 

BONUS CONTENT BELOW! 

 Kara - here is a shout out to your wonderful bride-to-be. Sorry, saw it and had too, didn't have a choice. 

Perhaps a fluke?

Perhaps yesterday was a fluke, I weighed in today (to keep myself in check) and it was back down to 168.4 - so I still have a long way to go - but at least I didn't gain all the weight I thought I'd lost back....

...I drank a SHITLOAD of water yesterday so that probably helped. 

I have yogurt and a salad today - so I'm on track for greatness! 

LYLAS bitches. 

Kara's Next Tattoo!

Yup, it's a cupcake.

Wednesday weigh day

Neglected the weigh in for two days.  whoops!

236 - up another three lbs.  wamp.

SO EXCITED ABOUT SATURDAY!!!!!   

Food : organic animal crackers for breakfast
           Chik-fi-a for lunch :(     don't judge.
           Gonna have to eat a salad for dinner

Feelings:  Went shopping last night for some jeans.  I'm such a fatty that I had trouble finding elastic pants to fit.  Ultimately, i did find some jeans that fit and had to pay $40 for those bitches.  Last week I went to GAP maternity and Old Navy Materinity online and purchased some sale clothes as well-- those came in, so that helped my mood out tremendously!  I must say, i've missed wearing GAP clothing....that's my favorite store and i love it :) 

This week i've felt so much better, physically.  My sciatic has loosened up, and i'm finally getting used to my swollen feet -- don't even realize they're fat anymore.  I've been able to move around a tad bit quicker.  As a direct result of my physical wellness improvements, my attitude is better.  I don't feel quite as doom and gloom.  I would love it if this persists. 

Have i told you ladies how beautiful each of you are??  Just thought you both needed to know that. 

HOLLA!

PANIC

I don't have much time, we have a client onsite this week - but I'll tell you this.

I've been entertaining clients for two days, I've been eating like an asshole and not exercising...I feel awful, like a fat slothy, slug.

I want to run. I need to run. I need to eat celery.

I weighed in today - just to check.

Up to 170 - exactly where I started 2 months ago.

WHAT?

How can I not lose 10 pounds in three months, that was the easiest goal ever.

I now have 25 days. Twenty-five. That is all.

I've very disappointed in myself because I know I could have tried harder and the only person I failed was myself.

Oh, and my doctor is going to rip me a new one.

I'm eating celery for the next 25 days. No one talk me out of it...it's gotta happen.  It's not about the weight anymore, it's about proving my asshole doctor wrong. I want to rub it in her face and not give her the satisfaction of making me feel like a fat guilty asshole.

Will be run/walking after work today - if anyone wants to join. Call me! If you come, we'll walk!

Love you guys....time for some tough love, so quit going easy on me.

170....sheesh. wtf.

crap on a cracker

I'm poopy today and when I feel poopy, I eat poopy. Note to self: bad habit I need to break.

Breakfast started off well and I snacked on cheerios all day until lunch. Thennnnnn I had pizza that the school gave us. Then after field hockey (which is a new story) practice, I wanted Subway... nope, those bitches were closed... I guess for remodeling. So, where did I go? KfuckingC across the street. Ya, not my smartest idea. I have a belly ache now and feel crappy and have a headache.

I'm going to need a pedicure soon. Ok, not really, but I need to spoil myself somehow, so I hope you bitches are in. Oh, is Ro going to be in town this weekend?! Maybe she needs a pedicure too on Friday or Saturday :)  Pretty pumped to "ride on over" for Kristina's baby shower!!

<3

We weigh in??

I'm pulling the preggo card on this one...i completely forgot to weigh in this morning.  I refuse to do it tonight b/c I know i'll be that much heavier.  Gravity takes a toll on my weight :(

For breakfast i had my usual grapes and water.  Lunch I ran a train on more grapes, chips, fruit snacks, and a few animal crackers.

I'm AD tonight at volleyball, so the meal is not going to be a good one.  McKnight is picking up chik-fil-a for us.  The positive side to this bad dinner is that I won't have time to snack b/c I have eaten all the food I brought w/ me for the day. 

I will try to remember to weigh in tomorrow morning and update you ladies.

Love ya both!

official weigh on

223. poop. I got down to 221 last week, but I ate, as Rita would say, like an ass hole this weekend. It is hard for me to control myself on the weekend because I'm sitting at home and get bored and start snacking or go out because I'm too tired to cook. So, considering how terribly I ate this weekend, I guess I should be satisfied with my weight today.

Today I had my muffin, a wrap, carrots with dip, & 100 calorie cookies for lunch. I did come home and have a cupcake (it's better than the 2 I ate Saturday night), but I needed a sweet treat. Probably for dinner I'm having leftover pasta with meat sauce and cheese (ground turkey & fat free cheese).

I am on my 2nd soda of the day. We have a game today, and I just need something to keep me awake. I went to bed before 9:30 last night but woke up at 2:30 wide awake and burning up, so I tossed and turned for a while after that. Plus, my even day classes are talkative. They aren't bad kids, just every time I say something, they all have a story to share and want to talk at the same time about it. So, they have worn me out.

Hope you had a great anniversary weekend, Rita! And Kristina, ohhhhh, I'm still thinking about how delicious my mac n cheese was! I'll see you tomorrow at the assembly. I'll be in the back crying somewhere, I'm sure.

Love you ladies. Think skinny <3 

Weigh In - Hell

Official Weight: 168.8
Weekly Change: (-0.6)
Total Change: (-2.0)
Goal: 160.8

Days remaining:  27

Feeling: Panic. I'm running out of time, my doctor is going to weigh my ass and then make me feel like a guilty fat asshole. AND I will freak out on her, sit on the sofa for one week afterward and eat nothing but big macs to "prove her wrong"

In her defense (stupid bia) - I ate alot of fried seafood with Josh this weekend in Hatteras and I did have some beer, AND I ate frozen custard....it was our anniversary.

Hitting it hard this week and exercising like a boss.
you'll see, I'm going to do this shit...
Man, I wish my Monday motivation lasted all week.


I feel like I should say this to my self every morning hahaha - what a scary lookin' hoe!

Seven year itch...

Ever heard of the seven year itch??  It's when teachers get really tired of what they do after seven years.  I'm in that boat professionally and personally.  Professionally....teaching fucking sucks this year.  Personally....i'm in the seven month itch!!

Haven't blogged in FOREVER!!!  I have seriously been overwhelmed w/ work this year and I can't figure out what the hell i'm doing wrong to be in this situation.  Here it is 4:22pm on a friday and I'm still at work!  I just finished grading this week's work....yikes!!! 

Anywho, I just got caught up w/ your lives...i've missed a lot in my own little world!! 

Kara -- Justin, say whaaa??? 

Rita -- loving the empowring motivational wagon symbolism and happy anniversary!

Me -- actually been eating okay.  I've been on a salad fix and have eaten a salad for dinner every night this week.  Unfortunately, i did ruin the salads by having french fries too :(  Nonetheless, i've been focused on snacking less and eating only when i'm hungry (which is always). 

Weight - 236.  This is going to continue to go up; especially these last two months.  Supposedly i'm going to gain about a pound a week.  How awful does that sound???  Half of that lb goes to the baby, so that's a plus and the ONLY reason why i'm handling this weight gain madness!!  Also, it would be really beneficial if my child would remove himself from my sciatic nerve.  HOLY SHIT THIS MESS IS PAINFUL!  Kara can witness that my waddle has enhanced quite a bit due to my pain in the ass (literally). 

Postive side to my negativeness -- I only have two more months of pregnancy and i get to feel the baby move so much!  He responses to my voice when i'm teaching so he's constantly rolling around -- i know it sounds weird, but it truly is the coolest thing to feel your child and know how close he is to you. 

With it getting so close to labor, my emotions are every bit of CRAY CRAY!  I'm nervous, excited, and just so sad that Alli isn't here for this.

Okay, i've officially caught you ladies up!  I'm going to try and get through this weekend of LOTS OF GRAD WORK and then start fresh next week!!

Ri Ri - have a safe trip to hatteras :)

Kara - i'll holler at you for some Saturday fun! :)

and LYLAS is officially brought back in style!!

feeling really motivated

I stayed on the wagon today. I did snack a lil when I came home, but they were pretty good snacks.

It was a lonngggggg day. I was with field hockey from 3:30 until about 9. On a positive note, we both won our games, woot woot. On my way home, I stopped at Subway for dinner. But, wtf, they were randomly closed. What to do what to do? It is 9 something at night, I'm hungry, lazy, and need something quick. Taco Bell was right next door... but no! No! I persevered and drove on home. I had left the George Foreman out from last night's dinner and had one chicken breast defrosted from the other night. So, I grilled up that chicken breast. But, I knew one little piece of chicken would not satisfy me, so I made some broccoli with fat free cheese! Woahhhhhh, right?!

It is now 10 and past my bedtime, considering how I was asleep before 9 last night.

Miss you lovelies Tomorrow is an odd day though + it is Friday!! :)

Guess Who Ate Like An Asshole

yup. Me.

Breakfast: Coffee 
Lunch: Thai food
Dinner: McDonalds (2 McDoubles/Large Fries)

I got home at 10:30 from mom's and was STARVING and Josh hadn't eaten either so in a moment of weakness I hit the dollar menu and ate like a prick. 

I felt so awful afterwards, tummy ache, sluggish...nada mas....



Went to bed, had nightmares of being fat (no lie) 

Woke up sad....

...Decided to give today another college try. 

WOOT

legend... wait for it.... ary

Whenever I get poopy because Justin has said something (like last night he texted to tell me that he missed me and missed living with me but he feels a lot better not that his mom has backed up out of his life... psh), I remember this......... 

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!

Man oh man, my head is pounding, but at least my cold has gone from a level 7 to a level 2.

I've had a pretty good food day.
Breakfast: english muffin
lunch: chicken caesar salad, 90 calorie treat, cheese
dinner: 3 turkey sausages & mac n cheese.
       Ok, don't judge :) These turkey sausage things were 120 calories each, and they had cheese gushing from the inside. I grilled the whole pack of 6, but I plan on packing some of them for lunch tomorrow. Now, I also tried a new mac n cheese brand, and I had to mix all the ingredients in the pot on the stove together instead of letting the water boil before adding noodles. Well, this ruined it, so I only ate it a little bit of it. So, it was a good thing for me that it didn't cook well or I would have eaten all of it, lol.

I did weigh myself again this morning and it was still at 222. If that is true, then I've lost 10 pounds. I just don't know. I feel like 10 pounds is a good number and I should be noticing something. But then again, when I lost the 30 pounds, I never a difference in the way I looked, just in the way my clothes fit.


My newest addiction- Long Island Medium. Ohmygosh, this show has me in tears! It is so great.

I'm going to try and be in bed ASAP tonight. Again, there is work I brought home, but... ya... it isn't going to happen.

Hope you had a great anniversary, Rita. And Kristina, I'm so glad it was an odd day! I needed some BFFL in my school day!

Where did everyone go?

Hey ladies....get your shit together...

Last night, I worked SUPER late and didn't get home till about 7:30pm, Josh and I were planning on going to the Melting Pot but we were frankly too tired to go and we knew it would take hours to eat there, we just weren't feeling it. 

So naturally, we went to Mexico. 

I had the flautas and water and some chips...

Then we went home and had cupcakes and champagne for our Anniversary.

Today, I had coffee for breakfast and Thai food for lunch because one of my coworkers made me go to Pandora with him to help him pick out his wife's anniversary gift...so we grabbed Tara Thai at Shortpump and came back to work. 

Tonight I'll be on the road, headed to mom's to work on her medicine then coming home, so I can get in bed and go back to work again tomorrow. Good times. 

The weather is beautiful today - unlike yesterday which sucked. 

This shit cracked me up! 

Weight Watchers for Free

Kristina - Thought this may be helpful for you - you mentioned going back after Christian is born - you can do this for free!

http://freckleberryfinds.com/2012/01/how-to-get-weight-watchers-for-free-really/

ERMAHGRED....BLERG!

It's bloggin' time...can't touch this! 

I've got nothing to report really - I ran yesterday and beat my time. 0.8 miles in 10:30...took  30 seconds off that mutha, so that was cool. 

Last night for dinner Josh and I had tater tots and spicy chicken tenders, I ate about half cause I wasn't feeling it - then ate 2 hard boiled eggs, and for dessert had a fruit chiller (55 cal) - and 2 pumpkin kisses. 

Water all day like a boss. 

Today - 

I brought, some cooked mustard greens. 
hard boiled egg 
yogurt
and strawberries for food at work

Dinner - dunno, we're going somewhere for our anniversary....josh mentioned the melting pot if that happens, game over! 

I'll be in touch! 

LYLAS bitches (yeah, I'm bringing that shit back!)

unofficial weigh in

I think my scale might be broken.

I weighed myself this morning and was 222. Yesterday I did get myself back on track, but it def. wasn't enough to drop 4 pounds overnight. So, I'm not getting myself too excited anytime soon, until I see it consistently stay there and hopefully go down.

I had my muffin for breakfast and packed a great lunch. Just a chicken caesar salad & some 100 calorie cookies. I usually like to get my own lettuce and cut it up b/c it is a lot cheaper, but Wal-Mart always has this premade one that comes with croutons, dressing, and parm cheese and I love it. At least I get 3 salads out of it, so the $ spent on it is worth it.

222 pounds was the weight I was a couple of summers ago when I initially dropped 30 pounds. I just need to get myself focused and motivated. I would love to try that insanity or P90x but that set is expensive!

I'm feeling a little better today. My nose hasn't been running uncontrollably like yesterday, but I'm keeping the roll of TP on my desk just in case. My throat is hurting a little (get your mind out of the gutter, you freakjanks) but it might be from coughing so much.

Happy Tuesday, girls! love ya <3

kristina!!

please do this for Halloween!!!!!!!!

my wagon is getting fixed

I got on the scale today. It was about the same that it has been (tomorrow I need to officially weigh  myself), and I was baffled. I figured if I made all these bad choices lately and hadn't gained the weight, that it is a sign to get back on the wagon and do something to change it...

Breakfast: cheerios. I think I might be over my English muffin phase.
Lunch: leftover casserole from dinner, carrots with ranch dressing, and 100 calorie cookie pack.
          It is a lot more calories than I normally eat for lunch, but I figure adding those carrots into my "lifestyle
          change" would be beneficial.
Dinner: I'm about to grill some chicken and have a chicken caesar salar.

I've been sick all weekend, so I have had no energy (surprise surprise b/c I've had no energy since school started. I'm guessing that is why I got sick- from just being nonstop and not taking care of myself. Luckily I have two easy days in the library coming up, so I can get some grading and work done.

So, I think I can walk Wednesday or Friday (and of course on the weekend) if you guys want! I think we have a late game on Thursday, so my day will be shot.

Hope you guys had a happy Monday. And happy anniversary tomorrow, Rita!!

<3

Safety Rails and Tarp

Determined to hop on this damn wagon and stay on it on this time, I'm putting up safety guardrails to keep me in place and I'm adding a tarp so that it becomes a covered wagon and I don't get distracted. (Think Oregon Trail) If we get to some water I'll caulk this bitch and float before I jump off again....


Here's what this gal is eating today 

Breakfast: Coffee, w/ Splenda and 2% Milk
Snack: Chobani Fat-Free Blueberry Yogurt
Lunch: Salad w. Light Ranch (Courtesy of Kristina) and a hard-boiled egg (needed some protein)
Snack: Big Ass Bowl of Watermelon or BABW
Water, Water, H20, and Water 

Dinner: Still to be determined. 
Water, Water, H20, and Water

I also plan on running my 0.8 miles when I get home, hopefully in under 11 minutes - I may go without Karma and then go home and get her for my cool down walk - because that cute dog almost broke my ankle last week when she stopped in the middle of the road for a puppy shake. Ding dong. 

Just call me "asshole"

I feel like an asshole. 
I am tired, no matter how much I sleep. 
I am grumpy.
I am slow and sluggish.

I am an asshole. 

Because. 

I've been eating like an asshole.

I have thirty-four, count 'em 34 days to drop 10 pounds...why 10, cause I've practically gained everything back this week. 

Weigh in Today: 169.4 (WTF)
Last Week: 166.8
Weekly Change: (+ 2.6) - again, WTF
Total Change to Date: (-1.4) - UGH
GOAL: 160.8

Reason: My bitch ass didn't blog

Exercise: I ran twice last week and by run I mean a slow ass jog, with Karma---to tell you how slow, I did 0.8 miles, in 11 minutes and 29 seconds. FAT, SLOTHY, ASSHOLE. 

Putting it behind me. It's done. It happened. I weigh 169.7 - time to move on....

This week, I vow to: 

1) BLOG
2) TRY
3) EXERCISE - Going to try to hit three times running, and I'd like to improve my 11:29 time, even if only by 10 seconds...

I'm hoping all this is water weight and by mid week I'm back down again, because I don't know how a human gains 2.6 pounds in one week if they are not with child. Seriously. 

I'm bummed about it, but this is the last I will speak of it - I have put it behind me, and I am moving on...FUCK YOU WEIGHT, see you in hell. 

Also, upset about the Redskins last night, but on the plus side Kristina and Adam cooked me one hell of a yummy dinner, and the Giants won! Welcome back to VA Buck!

This weekend Josh and I are going to Hatteras, so I'll be out of town, but - we should walk this week after work. Any night except Tuesday works for me, that's our anniversary so I'm sure we'll do dinner or something, to which, I vow, to eat healthy! 

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels - said some bitch that never ate ever. 

Love you ladies, thanks for doing this with me! 
34 days to go - time to haul ass! 

:) 
R

oh snap

I need to get my shit together.

I bought a lot of healthy good stuff today. Lots of carrots, salad, lettuce, string cheese for snacks, and no junky food today when I went grocery shopping. This whole weekend was a bust. I went out for lunch and dinner yesterday and then breakfast this morning. So, I need to really get my shit together.

For dinner I made a mexican casserole that I always make. It is a layer of meat sauce, cheese, tortilla and repeat. However, I used turkey instead of beef, fat free cheese, and low carb tortilla. So while it isn't the best choice, I at least altered it for me.

Tomorrow I need to get my butt back in action. I felt crappy and sicky all weekend; however, this time I'm not taking a shot of everclear to get better. What are you guys up to next weekend? Let's go on a walk ORRRRRR go to a mall and walk and shop and grab lunch! Miss ya bitches! <3 

Sweet home VIRGINIA!

hullo ladies.

I'm finally back in my favorite state!   The trip was exhuasting, but not really that bad.  To be honest, it was great having adam come with me.  I didn't have any of the tensions that I usually have -- cause he had them all!  I felt like I didn't have to worry, adam was there to 'take care' of me.  The wedding was nice and adam was a trooper the entire time.

As far as eating goes, let's be honest -- i was in NY and I ate!  I ate plain bagels, salt bagels, italian pastry cookies, and my traveling food choices were so bad that i'm not even going to repeat it for your innocent eyes!!

Back in VA, means back to the salads and fruit.  I neglected my fruit and i'm feeling the consequences of it.  I feel like a fat sloth.

darn those snickers

I did well with eating and drinking lots of water today and then... I came home... and ate chips and snickers. I hadn't eaten much, so when I saw food, I went cray cray.

I haven't had dinner and still need to make my lunch for school tomorrow. Oye, I'm so tired! But Glee comes on tonight... I might have to wait for it to be on demand tomorrow. I can't stay up to watch it. I'm so old :(

food?

My eating has been out of control and I've been eating very poorly. My wagon is broken. oye.

I did just eat some subway, so that was a semi good choice. On the plus side, varsity and JV did win their games today! And I bought Chimi a new little outfit. Time to go try it on :)

Loveeeee you guys! <3 Happy skinny thoughts!

Me - Jeans Shopping

TRUTH

US...

No doubt this is true.

...wha...happened?

So I yesterday, something weird happened....

Breakfast: Yogurt
Lunch: Mini Weight Watchers Cheeseburger
Snack: Cereal Bar 90 calories

Got home....started putting away groceries and making all sorts of things. I made roasted cauliflower for me for dinner - boiled eggs for snacks - cut watermelon and strawberries for snacks - made salads for today's lunches for Josh and I, etc etc 

All while Josh worked on the attic....

For dinner I had bubba burger, grilled with a slice of cheese, no bun, a serving of cauliflower and like 10 french fries. 

for dessert: Pumpkin Pie Hershey Kiss (will be the death of me) 

The weird thing is - that between cooking and dinner - I ATE A TON OF SHIT, but I couldn't even tell you what it was 
Some fruit, I think one hard boiled egg ( to see if they were done) some cheese slices 
I don't even know 

Scale this morning 166.6 <- Josh said I was the devil and he knew it! 

I'm going to try and keep better track today ..... I need to drink more water today too I'm UBER dehydrated....

HOLLA BACK YOUNGIN!

40 days, 6 lbs to GO

I am losing hope - it seems like such a far journey, but I haven't lost determination...I can do this. Last night when I was frying gluten free chicken I was doing squats waiting on the fryer...I've become obsessed which is weird because I'm still really obsessed with food. 

I think the biggest change for me is channeling stress. Now that I've been focused on it, when I get pissed off or depressed, which is about 100 times a day, I don't eat, but I do something constructive instead.  Like the other day I made a burlap wreath for my door for fall, it's cute (at least I think so). 

Here's a pic. 

Detail of Wreath

Full Wreath

Anyhow, I'm trying to do this channeling stress thing better, because let's be honest, the person I'm pissed at doesn't care if I eat two dozen glazed donuts....in fact they'd probably want that....so I've decided instead I'm going to make myself better so they can be pissed at me for being so awesome. 

Have a good day! :) 

I completely slacked off!

Good morning ladies!

It seems that even days are not going to be great blogging days for me -- i have a short planning period.  But today is an odd day and I get to see Kara!!! :)

As far as food goes, nothing new, some healthy, mostly bad!  Nevertheless, i have brought more salad's into the mix.  I feel like i'm not eating enought vegies lately.  The past three night's i've made myself delicious salads and have gotten pretty full from them.  I'm going to try and stay on that route for a little while.  I've also incorporated more grapes into my food selection, all the while cutting down on mindless snacking.

Weigh In : 234 :( 3 lbs of it baby, probably 10 lbs of it fluid, and the rest is aaallll me!!   I seriously cannot wait until I can begin to lose weight.  I'm beyond tired of being large and gaining weight no matter what I do!!  I can look at food and it sticks to my body.  It's okay though, it truly is all worth it...and the fact that you two are still working on the weight loss journey gives me motivation!  So continue to stick with it, even though I know it's difficult!!

Now that the weather is beginning to cool down I think I can get some walking in -- who's interested?  We can meet at Ri Ri's and walk around her pretty pond :)   Holler at me if you ladies are game.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

blehgwenogwpv 00 w-pe0

That's about it. I've had no motivation lately to engage in this new lifestyle. Reason #1: I'm tired and just want to sleep and eat something easy. Reason #2: I feel like I'm not seeing the results I want. Reason #3: I love junk food.

I did weigh myself this morning, and I was in the ball park of what I had been. However, I proceeded to eat mac n cheese for lunch and a brownie trifle that Jill made me, in addition to a cupcake and a mini icecream that Shannon brought in for my birthday. I did come home and snack a tiny amount, and I made a weight watchers meal. Ok, there wasn't really anything healthy about this meal. I think Rita posted in earlier on our blog. It was pasta (I did not use the wheat kind like the suggested), cheese (I did use the low fat kind), bacon, chicken, and ranch. It was delicious though!

Cammer and I walked half a mile during school. 4 laps around the 2nd floor = half a mile. Candy and I just got back from walking the dogs. So, I'm being nice and getting cardio in. It was a perfect day to be outside. Now I'm ready to rinse off and lounge a bit.

Happy Monday! I'm so happy tomorrow is an odd day, Kristina :)
PS- agreed Rita, totally framing that picture! :)

Oh Baby you.....

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date,
but a year to make love she wanted you to wait.
Let me tell ya a story of my situation I was talking to this girl from the US Nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert,
she had long hair and a short mini skrit...
I just got on stage, drippin pourin with sweat,
I was walking through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, come to the picture booth,
so I can ask you some questions see if your 100 proof.
I asked her her name she said blah blah blah

She had 9/10 pants and very big bra....
I took a couple flicks and she was enthused
I said "how do ya like the show" she said I was very amused
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin back mid-range
but when I spring the question she acted kind of strange
then when I ask do you have a man she try and pretend
she said no i don't I only have a friend

C'Mon...I'm not even going for it, here's what I'm gonna sing....

Kara's Tutu for Haloween

Kara! You can make your own!

Rita's Monday

This is my plan for Monday - 

Breakfast: Coffee w. 2 splenda and some creamer (at work)

Mid morning: Chobani Peach Non-Fat Yogurt

Lunch: Weight Watcher Cheeseburger

Mid Afternoon: Fresh Pineapple

Snack afterwork (if needed): 90 calorie breakfast bar

6:00p, Massage 

7:30p, Dinner - we are going to try some gluten free breading on some chicken breasts for Josh with Tater Tots. 

8:30p - Till I pass out, working in the attic, and maybe a walk with Karma. However working in the attic should sweat out all impurities that are in my system. 

Kara, perhaps you should come over and sweat out your alcohol from this weekend. 

Love you ladies,
R

It's my birthday & I'll do what I want

I'm not blogging about everything I ate and drank this weekend. You saw a summary of it last night, so take that x3, and that's about right.

Thank you guys so much for coming out last night and staying with me until the end... at 11, lol. I absolutely appreciate & love our (crazy, random, special, entertaining, what the fuck is wrong with us) friendships and when I feel homesick up here in Richmond, I know I have good people like you all in my life. I hope you all had fun, as well as Josh & Adam.

No hangover today, just a little stomach ache, but once I fell back asleep, I was feeling good. The plus side to being hungover is I could have thrown up 1000 calories and been back on track, lol.

Why are we so dang beautiful? :)  love you guys!!

Go go juice make me wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....

My wagon broke b/c my fat ass tried sitting on it.  But i'm back!!

Let me catch you ladies up --
 Thursday:  Breakfast = animal crackers and milk
                 Lunch = very thin sliced american cheese, doritos (don't judge), fruit snacks, and grapes
                 Dinner = @ my parents, Hot Dog and Salad.

Today so far : Animal crackers and milk.   However, we almost had a major problem -- the milk i brought w/ me was sour!!!  I can not function w/o having my milk for the day! I had to go out and get my "go go juice". 

For lunch i've got sliced cheese again, cheetos (don't judge....again), fruit snacks and grapes.

Dinner is yet to be decided as I am working football tonight.

So this mani/pedi thing -- does it take long?  and can there be food involved?  I would really like to go w/ you girls.

I must say, i did ask for a schedule so I wouldn't snack and it does seem to be working.  I am a happy camper about that.  Not that it's changing my progess on the scale, but it doesn't make me feel as sloth-like.

I am so pumped for Kara's night of celebration!! :)

rant of the day

I did ok with my food today. Muffin, wrap, and then I had pizza for dinner, again. I splurged and got myself some cake batter yogurt since it is ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Cammer & I did walk half a mile around the school today. Our game was cancelled today, so I debated about taking Chimi out for a walk, but my legs are so freaking tired and sore. No joke, walking up the stairs today, and I wanted to die.


So here is my rant of the day. I was just saying how exhausted I was, and Jennifer Garcia goes, "Well, do you have to come back up to school tonight?" and when I said no, she was like all right then. I was caught off guard by the attitude she gave me, so I told her that while I didn't have to come back tonight, I have stayed after every single day to coach. Thanks, bitch. She is now on my list.

Look at my new cupcake hat Justin bought me! I'm so excited and am going to freaking wearing it to school next week. Yup, that should happen.

I've got a little upset belly now from eating that greasy pizza. I feel a shower and an early bedtime again coming on!

Love you ladies!!! <3

Little Friday...WOOT!

Today is little FRIDAY - THANK GOD. 

Except - I have a 5 hour training module today for crap I don't care about. 

UGH..........................................................

So far today, Grande Non-Fat Pumpkin Spice Latte (yup, everyday this week)....

Was Yesterday Monday?

It felt like a Monday....good grief. 

I started out with a Grande Non-Fat Pumpkin Spice Latte (yea, they're back) from Starbucks on the way to work.  Once I got to work I got straight to it, I had TONS to do, so I was busy busy. 

At 10:30a, I left work and met mom at a doctor's appointment that she was 45 minutes late for. (sheesh) and then we didn't get out of there till 3:30, cause of blood work, urine samples, blah blah blah waiting waiting waiting. 

FINALLY at 3:30, we get to eat lunch, I was starving. We went to panera and I had a baked potato soup and half a tomato and mozzarella pannini.

Then I went straight from there to a photo shoot...where I was outside on foot till about 8:30pm, parched as hell and sweating like a wooly mammoth - which is ALOT.

Then I had dinner, for dinner I had mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic vinagerrette, one slice of thin crust cheese pizza, some crab dip, and one stella artois oh and about 2 gallon's of water. 

I left there and went to Game Stop, then Walmart, then Best Buy....because Josh was having a crappy week AND on top of it his PS3 broke.  So I surprised him with a new PS3....cause I'm awesome. 

Made him smile so that was worth it. 

I literally went home handed it to him went upstairs and changed, and laid on the sofa and fell asleep....

then woke up very sad to see that the Giants LOST to Dallas...I was pullin' for NY last night Kristina..so I share in your loss...I hate dallas. 

pug life

Well, school is back in session. The bright side, I've been doing no snacking whatsoever. I have my muffin for breakfast, have about 300 calories for lunch, go "coach" field hockey, and eat dinner. Dinner tonight was 3 pieces of pizza. Ya, whatever.

Last night I was just so poopy. I was talking to Justin on the phone and just lost it. I feel like I've been working so hard and nothing it changing for me. Well, then that emotional conversation led into an emotional conversation about our relationship (not really bad, just I think Justin is finally realizing some things...), and I was just a poopy, hot mess all night. So, feeling brave this morning, I hopped on the scale (after my morning poop of course. Why would I weight myself before that? lol) and I was right back down to 224. True, I don't want to be 224, but at least it was back down. Kristina said I was probably bloated, which I hope that was all it was. I know this weekend isn't going to help much, so I need to make sure I watch what I eat this week to save up a little for this weekend.

Rita, I hope you are ready to meet Candy! lol. And Kristina, maybe we can eat lunch on Friday together :)

Happy hump day! Can't wait to see you guys on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Carpe Diem

Not only did I fall off the blogging wagon, I fell off that bitch, watched it roll down a hill into a ravine and catch on fire, through a big explosion. 

...however, I have towed it back out of the ravine, hosed it down with a fire extinguisher and jumped back on it...

(no animals were harmed in the death of the wagon)

I didn't eat too bad this past weekend until I had Kristina and Adam over for dinner and had two slices of Peanut Butter Reese' Pie...ugh, I felt like crap after that. 

I was up 0.2lbs, but I also did meet my exercise goal last week to do three days....I did it...knocked that out of the park, so I'm satisfied with that...

...today I'm at work for a bit, then I have to go to a doctor's appointment then  I'm going home to finish working and then I have a photo shoot for Senior Pictures....busy gal, but nothing says exercise like lugging a huge ass camera around for a couple of hours in the hot ass sun....

Remember: While exercising to always work ALL muscle groups with equal rotation.....

YOLO!

Looks like we all neglected our blogging this weekend and our bodies have paid the price!! 

First day back was SO LOOOONNNNGGG!!!  My even days are going to be the death of me, as i teach all day long!

Breakfast - frosted minis!
Lunch - fruit snacks, chips, and milk.  Not one of my finer lunches -- i needed to go food shopping
Afterschool snack - animal crackers
Dinner - going to make a grilled cheese

I went food shopping and bought some healthier choices for lunch this week.  I have not been eating well at all and am feeling the affects of it!  Me and my child need healthy snacks-- then maybe i'll be able to walk down the hall w/o being winded!

Here is my weigh in - 230.8.  Not good. :-/ 

If we don't continue to blog we are all headed for this picture.



I know Kara loves her money makers, but let's not go too far!


If we continue to blog and support eachother we'll get to be like this


So keep pushing ladies!!!   We could all use a momentum push!

Weigh in

Up 0.2 lbs....blah. stupid. In Rockville today! Enjoy your first day back ladies!!!

weigh in

227.6 .... back up.

I know I hate poorly this weekend, but I'm just frustrated.  I feel like I'm doing everything else right, and nothing.

I'm just discouraged and have to go to school tomorrow. double whammy.

damn

 Nothing but bad choices today. Tomorrow's weigh in is going to be depressing.

fatty moo cow

Breakfast: a chocolate sprinkle doughnut & a diet pepsi
Lunch: Macado's. I was def. impressed with it there! I had a caesar salad and the mac n cheese with broccoli and chicken. I could have done without the salad b/c I was extremely full, but I love caesar salads!
Dinner: made pasta with ground turkey and light alfredo sauce. I made enough to eat for the next week, but I was still feeling full, so I didn't eat much.
Dessert: low calorie ice cream bar.

I'm feeling a little discouraged today. I had been doing really well in the beginning of the week, and I feel like those extra 2 pounds I lost will be back on Monday when I officially weigh myself. This past week I've been doing nothing but eating out, so not only am I eating a lot more calories than I should, I'm spending too much money!  I did take Chimi for a walk this morning b/c I was up at the crack of dawn, so that helps a little... but not too much.

On the plus side, I have no eaten fast food this whole month. Ok, granted I did eat out a freakish amount, had Subway, and had Papa John's once and Lil Caesars once. For every time I ate out, I don't think I once had a burger. I did pretty good at trying to get salads or sandwiches.

So, while I was eating my icecream, I had a surprise visitor. Yup, Candy just popped over without telling me, but at least she had my lawn mower... and her two dogs. Kristina, I've warned Justin that if she brings Sherri to my birthday, I'm going to go ballistic. Oyeeeeeeee.

I had such a good time at Longwood today! Rita, I'm in the Longwood club and bought a LU tshirt for college day at school!

It is almost my birthday!!!! <3
