Little Bit Of Life

My first month of diet and exercise, or umm "lifestyle change", is over. I logged a total of 25 days at the gym, and 2 zumba classes. I ate a lot of chicken and fish. I lost a total of 13.2 pounds. I am proud of myself and the results I am seeing.

I would be lying if I said it was easy and I didn't want to to quit everyday. Especially when I would get on the scale and see no weightloss and I couldn't understand why. I was doing everything right and it wasn't showing. People would tell me they could really tell I was losing, and it would just make me angry, however I would smile and say thanks instead of telling them to quit trying to make me feel better.

However, I can tell that I am losing weight. I look in the mirror and sometimes I actually don't feel fat, not that I feel skinny, I just don't feel fat. And today, at church when someone said "You're melting away" it made me feel good, and not angry.

I am liking this person I am becoming....

This Morning Before Church

In other news..... I will be going to see my favorite singer, Gary Allan, in my favorite city Nashville, the weekend after my birthday with my best friend Katie. And she so nicely told me that it was my birthday presnt from her. Is that a great best friend or what? I am going to make a sign, I'm determined to meet him.

Also, there's only 34 more days until Laken and I get to see Lady Gaga. And after the post and pictures from two of my facebook friends who saw her last night in St. Louis I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Hope you all have a great Super Bowl Sunday.

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores. They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is. There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross. At least that's how I feel about it. I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store. Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section. While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes. You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on. It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today. It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation: Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥ That's the honest truth. Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced. And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind. Everything changes. This is me. This is me before...

So Today....

I can't sum it up much better than that right up there. Today is a bad day. Nothing really terrible happened, just a lot of bad things. I'm getting mighty tired of this cold. I actually really want to go run, but I'm afraid I'll hack up a lung if I do. And I'm pretty sure I'll need that lung later in life. I'm also hungry. Like really hungry. I want Chicken Nuggets and French Fries. Only guess what? I said no fast food for December. So that means I don't get Chicken Nuggets and French Fries. Maybe I should have given up something easy...like dates. No dating December. Seems to be the way December will go down anyway. Yea I got stood up today...... And I'm still hungry. And I still want McDonald's. Or Starbucks. Or anything...anything with grease, sugar, loads of calories and yummy goodness. And can we talk about this for a minute? What the crap? I have grand plans for this weekend....
