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 ...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...

New Year... New Me

First off, I am typing this on my iPad and its terrible.  My desktop is being a punk and my laptop is too. Anyways.... One year ago today I started going to the gym. It has been 365 days of exercising, clean eating, and struggling. I have put my healthy habits aside for the holidays. I decided that I had deprived myself all year and I wasn't going to do that during the holidays. I said that I knew I would gain weight, and I'd be ok with it as long as it was less an 10 pounds. I went to the gym for the first time in a while today. I weighed before I got started. I gained weight. It was less than ten pounds, but I was not ok with it. I worked hard to get that weight off and carelessly put it back on. I did realize that I probably would have but on that weight anyway drying the holidays (you know like if I didn't lose the weight) and it would be a lot worse. I don't believe in Resolutions. They always fall apart.  I believe in goals. I do have goals for 2014. H...
