Watching the numbers go DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! 3 months ago

Last week was my first real strive towards this goal and this morning was my weigh in. I lost 3 lbs last week and I am feeling fine as wine in the summertime this morning!! Seeing even a slight improvement and that my efforts are paying off is skyrocketting my self confidence and boosting my belief that I CAN DO THIS! Food management and a good eating stradegy helped me lose 3 lbs and that was without exercise unless you count dancing my bootie off on Saturday night. This week I am going to start encorporating exercising into the mix and continue with my YT channel because the weight loss community on there is HUGE and they are very embracing of me, as the newbie.

Even though today is Monday and I am sitting here at work I can’t help but be filled with so much joy. This is only the beginning of so many good things to come not only in the weight loss department but I am a feeling in my entire outlook on life.



Flabby2Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 months ago

Yeah baby! I am back in action again with the diet/lifestyle change and this time I have a funny feeling it is going to stick. I am putting it all out there for the world to see! I have created a youtube account to chronicle EVERYTHING from what I look like now, weigh now, measurements of my body, even pictures of my body I am going to post. I am going to try to vlog at least one or twice a week, maybe more if I have time, and get myself fit and fabulous!

I am also going to do a blog to go along with the YT channel so I can be a positive influence for myself. Watching the videos back will be more positive re-enforcement to get my butt into action and plus this will hold me accountable to actually DO IT!

I start tomorrow so I am getting all psyched up today! My first vid goes up tomorrow morning, should be an interesting journey. I am also thinking of posting my video links here for anyone who wants to follow me on my journey and if you want to join me let me know.

The more the merrier! Flab2Fab everyone!

So I am up higher than I was before, mainly or all in part to the fact that I’ve been eating horribly and NOT exercising one lick. Time to get things back into normal perspective, this is the most I’ve ever weighed in my life! Now all there is to do is go DOWN !!!!!



My new approach to exercise! 9 months ago

I am woman enough to admit that I am lazy when it comes to the end of my work day or school day, which I do back to back, I do not feel like exercising when I get home. It is, not suprisingly, the furthest thing from my mind. So I am taking a new approach of getting up a little earlier in the am, I am a morning person anyways, and going for a walk/job with my dog. I have been reading all day that this is a better way to lose weight, people that exercise first thing in the morning are more apt to be found sticking with exercising a year later, and I could use some increased energy.

I also say “I’ll do this starting Monday” or whatever but not this time! I am starting fresh tomorrow morning because talk with me is REALLY cheap! I am unhappy with the way my clothes fit or shall I say DON’T fit so I need to step up. I think this goal I will actually be able to stick with since getting up at 6:30am is not really difficult I am going to bump it up tomorrow till 5:30am. Get my two miles in and start my day, I’m excited. I am also going to buy my new scale tonight, I found an AMAZING deal at BJ’s Wholesale Club that I cannot jusitfy not taking advantage of. Wish me luck with my new morning routine!



Breaking down to just do it! 9 months ago

So I’ve been avoiding buying a scale because I was angry that the one I purchased expensive batteries for was broken and I couldn’t even return the batteries. But this weekend I will be purchasing a new one because my mom’s is reading wrong. I am also making my lent decision to give up ALL junk food and today starts day 1 with that. I figure this is an awesome way to combine two goals in one and actually accomplish it because I’m pretty good with my lent goals and actually achieving them. 40 days no junk should do me some good!



Sick of feeling SORRY for myself! 9 months ago

Honestly, I truely am sick of the “boo hoo, poor me” crap that I place on myself constantly. With NO exercise and eating unhealthy what more can I expect but NO results in this department. It def does not help me when my boyfriend tells me it is okay that I did not exercise today or that it is okay that I ate at a pizza joint instead of going grocery shopping and making something healthy at home. These are NOT OKAY and I need to start being tougher on myself.

I had a wake up reality check this past weekend when I was uploading photos onto my mom’s facebook account and say myself from 2006. I was at my target weight, I looked AMAZING and instead of inpsiring me to get back there it simply depressed me that I wasn’t there NOW. I HAVE TO STOP thinking like this, it is self defeating and I’ll never reach my goals dwelling on what used to be I have to dwell on what WILL be! I really wish this I was buying into the positive self talk today but thus far I am not.

I had my oatmeal this morning and my herbal tea and I need to just stay on course. I can get there but no magic wands are going to poof make it happen. Only I can make it happen!



Making slow progress, but progess none the same 10 months ago



7 Day Detox 10 months ago

So I am on day 7 of this cleanse and I must say it def works well but is kind of a pain to use during a work week. I told everyone in my department the situation and now all the laides want to try it as well. I do not feel like I have lost any weight, though I have not weighed myself, but I do feel less bloated and a lot slimmer in my mid section. I am going to weigh myself on Sunday and hopefully, even if it is just one little pound, I’ll be satisfied with that result.



Not worrying till the new year 11 months ago

about my weight loss goal because during the holidays it is near impossible to eat healthy. I am not beating myself up but rather just enjoying celebrating and not thinking too much about this goal. I have quite a few goals that are inter-mingling with the whole weight loss goal. I am really excited about trying the master cleanse. I am not simply trying this to lose weight, though some people do claim that it happens as a result of doing it, I want to just kick start my healthy eating and exercising off right! I am sick of feeling tired, run down, sluggish, and full! My stomach never growls anymore and I’m wondering if that’s because I’m eating too much or because I need to purge my system of toxcins.

We shall see but I am very excited about all of it. I made my new years resolution last year to lose weight and it never happened. This year my new years resolution is simply to STOP BEING LAZY! That’s it! No unneeded amount of pressure there, just get off my butt and do the things I really want to do and losing weight and exercising fall under the no more laziness category.



Time to put it visually in front of me! 12 months ago
