Spring Break Diary

I wish I had some fun, exciting Spring Break tale to share.  Sadly, I do not.

My spring break has been pretty uneventful.  It started off by learning Friday I had failed my portfolio and I had to redo it--by Tuesday morning at 8:00 am.  STRESSFUL times.  I decided not to worry with it until Saturday.

So, Friday I went and sang karaoke with some awesome friends.  We pretty much had the place to ourselves, so that means I sang, a lot.  However, I was actually with people that could sing, so I'm sorry I ruined your songs.

Lindsey and I.  Down 50 pounds together :)
Me and Jonathan, I really honestly LOVE this picture, of myself
 
I spent the rest of my weekend working on my portfolio, besides the hour I went to Michael's to watch the Walking Dead.  Monday I spent 14 hours in a chair typing.  It was torture....except for the times my sweet dog sat in my lap to help.

Such a sweet puppy
When I was finally free I went out to eat lunch and shopping with Mom, Martha, Laken and LaDonna.  I got a new bed spread, so now we are going to paint....
What color?


Wednesday, I conquered the Stair Master at the gym.  I lasted for five minutes.  I made it ten yesterday.

We had a snowstorm last night.  I also attended a spa party at Katie's.  Her house looks great and she will be recruited to help me decorate.
Spring break snowstorm....I love Mint and Skulls :)


I also got the really cute workout shirt from Ruffles With Love.  I adore it.  Check out her Etsy shop here.  I'm not getting anything by promoting, just sharing a great brand with my peeps.
TRAIN LIKE A SUPER HERO.  I already have my next one picked out!


I started taking Evening Primrose Oil last month.  I really see benefits, I'm not going into them on such a public format, but please women, call, text, email or facebook me...you need this stuff.

Today I'm off to the Orpheum for their next season announcement.  There's supposed to be a special guest.  I hope it's Hugh Jackman (hey I girl can wish).  Have a lovely weekend.

Oh by the way I passed my portfolio.

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...

What I Want You To Understand

I posted the following picture on Facebook and Instagram last night. I posted the following caption with it:  I wish I could explain how it feels to look at these pictures. I'm sure I should feel proud, but I feel disgusted. I remember being that girl. I remember how I felt.... Miserable. Look at that stomach. That isn't normal. That's not how a woman is supposed to look. I am disappointed in myself that I did that to myself. I am also disgusted that I've come so far and I've been slacking. I hate it. And I hate what I've done. Turning around again. ‪#‎ progress‬ ‪#‎ motivation‬ ‪#‎ fightingtheinnerfatgirl‬ My Instagram friends took this post for what it was worth, leaving comments such as "We all fall down and get back up" and "I understand how you feel,I've been slacking too".  My Facebook friends, however, just kept telling me how I was beautiful before and now and that beauty is not defined by a size and not to be to ...
