Been having a bad week. Scales not moving, finances in the toilet, 41st birthday looms on Friday. Ugh!  I am going to take a little time off and just focus on my lifestyle changes, but I’ll be back!

I’ve been eating better, exercising, drinking water… and I am UP a pound!!!!!

Has anyone here tried it? Liked it? My “recommendation” blog led me to the Beachbody website. I am researching online and finding good reviews on this and anxious to try it!!

I have tried Turbo Jam and LOVE it! Can’t wait to try this one!

LOL! Has anyone ever seen this movie , or I am just showing you how old I am and obsessed with B movies?

It’s in the food… that’s not actually what the dramatic, end of the movie line is. They state the freaky ingredient IN the food.  It’s the “future” (whatever they considered the future when this movie was made). The only food available, and controlled by the government, is Soylent Green.  At the end , they find out what the scary and downright gross ingredient is… and it ain’t soy, my friends.

What does that have to do with anything at all, you may be asking yourself? I ate something I should not have earlier today.  It sat in my stomach like a rock and made me drowsy… and I feel asleep.  I slept for THREE hours and missed my chance to work out while my 2 year old napped. When I woke up at the same time as my kiddo, I realized I had blown it.  I thought about how annoying it was that something made me feel so lousy and then I thought “It’s in the food!!!!”. Not that I did not know it was in the food, but in my brain, everything plays out really dramatically.  In my mind, I sometimes play out the future.  It’s a year or so from now.  I have lost all my weight and I am in stellar shape. The “creators” whose diet and whose exercise programs are responsible for my transformation have me in their advertisement because my transformation is just so friggin’ amazing!! I have had an amazing makeover in clothes, hair, etc on What Not to Wear, so I look amazing in every way. And every one who every wronged me is envious that I am doing so well after they turned on me.  Also, I finished writing my book, which has also been turned into a movie that is up for Academy Awards.

Yep. It ain’t soylent green, folks, but in my mind, it’s all VERY dramatic!! LOL!

Another day, another challenge. Another day we have to stay strong and resist greasy, sugary, high fat foods and empty calories. Another day we need to motivate ourselves to get some activity in.
Another chance to prove that we can do it!!! Another chance to win!!!!!

an inspirational message that i sent out to my buddy list, because i think we need to remotivate ourselves every single day.

It has been FREEZING here lately!!  Ugh. It’s been hard to get the ambition to do anything without cranking up the heat, which means a huge gas bill.  My basement is freezing and, of course, the washer and dryer are down there. I have managed to start exercising but wow!!  This cold weather takes it out of me. 

It was so cold, the strike plate on my front door was covered with snow!  It was so cold, the doorwall froze shut, from the inside!!!  It was SO cold…. okay , I’m out of stuff, really. I just hope this lifts soon so I can accomplish some stuff.

Part of why my weight got so high is doing nothing, and this weather makes me just want to sit by the heater and do nothing.  I hate Pennsylvania. Not just because of the cold, but that’s a whole different blog!

So, hubby picked me up some five pound weights last night. I am going to see if I can do Turbo Jam for longer today. Wish me luck, y’all!

Hugs to all you amazing people!!!

XXXOOO

LOL!  I keep thinking about the side effects of olestra/olean and Alli, which I thought was pronounced like a womans name, not like the word that means someone who is on your side.  I don’t think someone who could possibly cause you anal leakage could REALLY be considered your ally.  I am not knocking it. I know lots of people succeed on it. I just …. well, that whole anal leakage thing is just dang funny!

So, a few things I would rather have than anal leakage:

Dandruff, a headache, dental work done, diarrhea would even be better!…. a hang nail, split ends…

I am sure you could all add to this list. Let’s celebrate our “evacuations” only going into the potty, and not into our drawers!

What is your weight loss program?

Okay. I have started working out now.  I have some dvds that I found I can not do, so I am going to sell them. Then I have been researching some. What dvd’s have worked for you and shown great toning and weight loss results? I can’t get to a gym because I don’t have a car, so I have to do this at home.

I have been looking at:  Budokon at www.budokon.com  …………… Jillian Michaels 30 day shred…………….. Jillian Michaels Shape Up Complete……….. Biggest Loser Boot Camp…. Yoga Fusion

Any input from experience will be appreciated!

But, I will contain my bodily fluids. So, I just finished ordering used books. I ordered the McDougall book, the Skinny Bitch diet (which sound easier) and Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. I am going to be armed with vegan knowledge and I love it!!  Woo hoo!  Here is to a fitter, healthier me in 2010!

When I was in school, my sister had a boyfriend and I had a huge crush on his brother , who never noticed me. Anyway, he liked a girl who never noticed him and he would sing about her ” don’tcha know you’re a skinny b****”. LOL!

So, my point? I just ordered The Skinny Bi*** Diet book.  I am looking forward to reading this also vegan diet book.
