Weight Loss Wednesdays

Me. With a jawline and a bit too thin wearing a brown hat.

Me. With no jawline a bit too chubs wearing a brown hat.

Today I am somewhere (closer to second pic) in between! But the good news is...


I am down another 2.2! Keeping track? That is 23.8 to go!


I had a lot of inquires about what I am doing and I thought that I would share: Please remember that I am not a doctor (and don't even play one on TV!) so go about it in a manner that is right and safe for you! Also go HERE to help calculate how many calories you need to shed the LBS!


Here it is:

Meal 1:(8:00am) 1/3 c. oatmeal,4 egg whites 1 yolk

Meal 2:(10:30-11:00am) 3 oz of chicken,fish or lean beef, 1/2 c rice or 4 oz potato,salad or veggie/fruit

Meal 3:(1-1:30pm) same as meal 2

Meal 4: (3:30-4:00) piece of fruit or veggies with 2 tbs peanut butter or slice of mozzarella cheese

Meal 5:(dinner) same as meal 2

Meal 6:(snack) Banana Smoothie (with skim milk and ice)

Calculate the calories and make it right for you. I can't eat gluten so this is gluten free. BTW... I am a Weight Watcher DROP OUT! It just wasn't working for me (not the weight loss part, the whole POINTS thing...)


I also give myself one dinner out a week of whatever I want... it keeps me sane!


If you have any questions at all, leave them in the comments or email me! I am glad to support! Believe me... If I can do this, you can too!

Weight Loss Wednesdays

So I told you all that I always pose with my food! I swear I have enough of these pics to last me 100 Wednesdays!

So here is the GOOD news! I am down 1.4lbs! YAY!

My friend Jen gave me a pretty great eating plan that I stuck with and it is working (with a few cheats here and there).

So I have only have 26 lbs more to go!

Great Day! Here's to another week of keeping on track!

Slumdog...

I really wanted this to be a post about how my mom liked this shirt and tried it on and it looked like a tent on her, but for $10 bucks passed it my way...
I really didn't want my day to be tainted with my smoke and mirrors apartment.
I call it smoke and mirrors because it looks so PRETTY and it drew me in regardless that it is a) on the corner of crack central

b) on the corner of crack central with random gang issues.

But for less the $900 a month with a parking spot, washer and dryer, dishwasher and bamboo hardwoods, I threw caution to the wind and signed that lease!
It is just one of those old crack buildings that someone guy bought and put some cheap Cover Girl foundation on it.

I am referring to the fact that my wall heater caught my wall on FIRE and then I lived without a heater for over a month... (that can't be legal), but that isn't today's issue.

Today's issue is that my new refrigerator stopped working for the THIRD time! I lost the food in it again. I always have anxiety filling it with food anyways due to these previous experiences.

Beware of smoke and mirrors people. In apartments and in life...

But I am sitting here thinking of the day that I will live in a space that is comfortable. A home. A space that I feel like I can relax. And that my friends makes me smile!

P.S. I am totally nervous about WWW tomorrow! Wish me thin thoughts!

I couldn't find THEM!

This is what happens when your closet eats your favorite go-to lululemon pants...You first throw a mini tantrum because you CAN"T find anything in this APARTMENT (OH the Drama!) and then you throw everything on the floor because you are sure your bestie (who missplaced hers as well) jacked them (love you bestie!)
AND THEN you see the light...Tiny reflectors stuffed inbetween your too tight petite Citizens and those cute skinnies that ALSO don't fit! No wonder they were lost! Who looks in THAT corner of your closet?
IN better news...I went dress shopping! Such great deals! They are from Aprie (Black Sack Dress- Gift Cert), AA (Le Sac Dress-$38), Old Navy (Striped Ruffle Sleeve-$20) and Ross (Blue Floral and Shirt Dress-$11 each)! I decided that summer HAS to come soon, so why not help it out by coxing it with cute dresses!
Also I framed my new poster! I got the frame from IKEA and it didn't fit, so my lovely Bean randomly had a mat cutter and cut the matt to fit! I LOVE it!

See you tomorrow!

Edit: OH my goodness! I am embarrassed about how messy my room is! Sorry MOM! Ha ha... This is me being real folks!

Big Hair, Big Plans: It's Friday!

Do you ever have days when even though you haven't lost a single ounce, your pants feel bigger and that makes you feel a bit better about yourself...
It puts a pep in your step and a smirk on your face- It's a secret that no one else knows...
Well this day was one of those days! My jeans are never too tight in the waist...They always get too tight in the hips and butt area! Ha ha... The classic PEAR.
But today my jeans felt that they had a little bit more give in them. Like if I HAD to get into a monster truck (hey where I grew up this wasn't uncommon), my pants wouldn't split up the back like a can of Pop and Fresh Dough! (seriously people...This has happened to me when I was younger and stupid enough to buy cheap pants that couldn't contain what I was packin'!)
So that brings me to this smile.

The secret one. The one only I (and now you) know about!

Weight Loss Wednesdays

I pose with my food a lot. I am not sure why...Maybe because it is so dear to me!

Obviously these are not new pics, but what better day to post them on my BLOG?!? I mean...It is Weight Loss Wednesday! Can you guess which lovely dog below was mine? It was the middle one! Yums. And so wrong at the same time!

Oh. The joys of reckless eating. I miss you.

So the news is...I stayed the same! 27.4 still to go. Is it frustrating? Uhhh....Yeah. Did I try as hard as I could? Uhhhh....No.

So last night I wrote out a menu and tallied up all the calories/points and REALLY figured it out. I will have better news next week. Not that this was bad news, but I want to write better news.

Side Note: I am pretty sure that I can smell those hotdogs... Weird, huh?!? :)

Loves!

Wrap it UP!

So if you haven't noticed lately, I have been wearing my hair up A LOT!
There are good reasons for this. First graders get lice. I DO NOT want lice.
SO I decided to wear a wrap to UBER protect myself (and who am I kidding...I LOVES IT!)
Mr. Chhorn (my 76 year old bestie) told me that my head wrap looked like a traditional Cambodian head dress, while Anita told me it looked African. I accepted both as dear compliments!
It was cute as well as practical. We really did have an outbreak of lice this week. BLECH.

To all my new readers and followers...

I appreciate everyone of you! See you on your blog SOON!
