Mid-February Round Up


Before going to see Mary Poppins.  I was down 16.5 pounds here and feeling pretty awesome about myself.


 I don't have a clever title, it happens. So, this is just a "round-up" of everything I want to say.  All jumbled together....annnnnnd go......

Diet/Exercise Life

Even though I didn't want to, I got on the scale at the gym yesterday (I like the gym scale, it weighs me 3 pounds less than my home scale :) ).  After my fat girl weekend fast food dining this weekend I was scared to get on the scale.  I closed my eyes, held my breath, and stood REEEEAAALLLLLYYY still..... and..... I LOST A POUND!!  

I know a pound doesn't sound like much, but I will celebrate EVERY pound and not be ashamed of it.  And this one pound, just shows how far I am going.  I ate a lot and still managed to shed a pound.  For a total of 17.4 pounds.  HOLY MOLY!  That's almost 20.  So that means I'm almost halfway to my first goal.

Annnnd....I'm about to sign up for my first walk/run.  It's only a two miler but still, it will be something to check off my list.   
Forgive the "cuss" word, but this gets me through my workouts.




Life

I found out today the Lady Gaga concert I have been looking forward to since October has been cancelled.  I am one sad, sad, sad girl.  I mean, I know stuff happens, but it still makes me sad.  Maybe when I get the refund for what I paid for those tickets I will be in a better mood about.  Laken and I are still going to Nashville since we already booked the hotel.  I guess now I'll just look forward to Gary Allan.

I had mentioned that my awesome best friend, Katie, was going with me to see Gary Allan, right?  Well this crazy girl is treating me to the concert for my birthday.  She also sent me these flowers today.

Isn't that sweet?  It says "Thanks for being a wonderful best friend and partner in crime".  That sure brightened my crappy day.  I debated for a good ten minutes on taking them home or leaving them at school.  Leaving them at school ultimately won.  I thought this would make me feel better when I don't get any flowers tomorrow :).  Which brings me to my next point.....

Love Life

There may be something brewing here.  There may not be something brewing here.  Time shall tell.
Don't ask.  I don't kiss and tell, unless you're in my book club :).  But, I still don't think I will be getting any flowers tomorrow.

 

Happy Valentine's Day People!

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...

Hello, It's me!

Hey!  Remember me?  It's just been a year or two.  I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say.  Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting.  Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde.  I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything.  Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus.  I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships.  And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness.  Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...
