weigh-in vol.17

day 124:
happy freakin’ friday!

so i had the most unexpected surprise @ my weight watcher weigh-in/meeting today.
not only did i lose 2.8lbs this week but i got my 25lb. charm today!
(ain’t it purty?)
AND i entered into the 170s – fuck, i blasted the door down on the 170s!
i have lost 26lbs & honestly it just blows my mind!

don’t get me wrong – i have worked my ass off – literally – but sometimes it still surprises me that i am actually doing this!
not only have i lost weight – but i am changing my life.
(here i am @ 178.4 lbs -- get used to this outfit – i am superstitious like a mofo & wear the same thing to weigh-in every week…)

i have become that girl who normally would annoy the piss outta me… heh.
i care about what i eat, i workout & love it (98% of the time), & i am passionate about the changes in my life & want the whole world to know!

i needed this awesome weigh-in – i was feeling a little underwhelmed & really wading in some self-doubt because i have been a bit lackluster about working out this week. i do it but I had to talk myself off the *don’t feel like it ledge* more than once & that just isn’t like me. in my defense – mother nature has kicked my butt in half (fucking monthly gift my ass!) & i am just a biznotch & a half when she is rearing her ugly head.
but somehow i pulled it off?
wait a minute…
no, i didn’t just *pull it off*!
despite my lackluster feelings – i DID still workout every single day along with sticking to the simply filling plan (except for nye when i kicked back some vino).
i followed plan & i earned those 2.8lbs by golly!
no need to sell myself short!

this is life & some days this is easier than others.
and some days are better than others…
today was one of the better days & those better days are what motivate me to keep going!
and there ya have it!

my effin' epiphany

day: 10
hello blogdom!

so my first *official* weigh-in at my designated weight watchers location on friday morning is looming.
gulp!
it’s all good in the hood…
we weight watcher folk know that when you work the plan – the plan works!

and gurrrrrl… i rupaul-like worked the plan!
(love her)
“you better work!”
*snap snap twirl*

i was op (on plan) like a mofo.
i earned ap’s (activity points) like a mofo.
and best of all, i avoided the trigger foods like a mofo!

i weighed myself on monday (my one week mark) and i was down 2lbs. exactly on the button – woots – so i do at least expect that much to be off on friday. right?
it better be off or i am going all hulk like!
Turn green, kick stuff over and say, "you won’t like me when i’m angry … rowrrrr!”.
(wait he is pretty buff -- not a bad gig)
okay that’s a crock of shit – i can make a grown man cry with a swift word outta my filthy mouth but i’m a lover not a fighter. no violent temper here.

but all this *i better lose this week* attitude really got me to thinking about what it is i really want out of this weight watchers journey…

the ultimate goal is to lose weight right?
well it would seem…
but then i got to thinking. i can lose weight, i have done that for a good majority of my life through puberty, indulgence, laziness, emotional eating and three babies!
i know what to do…
i know about portion control…
i know its basic math –ya gotta burn more than you eat – duh!
i know exercise (especially at my age – yeah i said it!) is not key – its vital. ya gotta shake that bootie and sweat!
i know all of this.

what i have issue with is commitment.
i have never stuck it out.
in all four (i had a short stint for about a month right after my daughter was born) of my times on weight watchers not once have i made it the 16 weeks and gotten the charm! i have gotten a 25lbs key chain and the 20% charm (it is hiding in shame in a box somewhere) but i have never stuck it out.
and this is where the heavens parted, the celestial beings hummed or something, and i dear friends had one of those fancy schmancy effin' epiphany’s.

my goal is to stick it out and work the plan for 16 weeks. i mean what is the worst that can happen?
i lose weight – might not be all the weight i wanna lose but i would assume i will be significantly smaller in four months?
i will eat better?
i continue to hit the gym to earn those ap’s?
and all of these things become healthy habits and i remain committed to my health from the inside out.
and maybe even rock those skinny jeans i got lying around!
(btw i am a sex & the city lovah – they do no wrong in my eyes – and the miranda skinny jean episode is a fave and a classic!)

so with that being said; i am not setting a goal weight or even a lump amount of weight I want to lose just yet. i just want to commit and i am pretty sure my commitment will take care of the rest.

xxoo!
eat your veggies and love yourself!
