Getting my lazy A** up!!

Okay so last night I went out shoe shopping! Cause I know I need them. I was looking for some all black ones. but of course they, like all other shoes today, were bright and just too colorful. Boy those good running/walking/workout shoes are expensive. Whoo! But i did manage to come up with three pair that i am intending on getting this weekend.

Next I am going to wally world and get me some of those $5 sweats that they have. I have a couple other workout pants and shirts so I am set. I have made the rest of this week only water. I am doing well with it too!! I got me a trusty water bottle and months ago I joined my offices water club, where we split the big water thingy bill down evenly. So I have ample access to it. For a while I had been just drinking ginger ales. Sometime seriously I do need a soda or tea. I am starting to LOVE orange juice so I try to drink at least two glasses of that. Sometimes I get orange and pineapple, my favs. I try to buy fruits but they seem to always go to waste. Maybe I should keep them in the fridge at work where I can easy access them and could snack on those through out the day. I also have decided to start a food journal. I hear that that is a good way to keep track of all the unwanted foods that I know I don't need. I guess will start that today. And i will post to let u see the madness i have been putting in my body! We will see!! PEACE! Muah and Muah!

HELP!! Need Help! Ugh!

So on Monday! Whew that day started off bad. Mondays are my long days! I usually don't get home until 9:30. and yesterday was the same. I had a lot of stuff to talk about for yesterday but at this moment my mind is completely blank. Oh well!


Well Today started out good. I somehow pulled my temporary filling out of my tooth yesterday because i kept on having these crazy headaches and it had to go!!! Pulled it out with floss..Ewww..i know. probably TMI! but any who. I had a very productive day at work today. Got a lot of work done. Still got about an hour to go before I hit the door!!


OK So weight loss, umm yeah! A girl needs some motivation ova here. I keep coming up with all these excuses. Like I don't have the right shoes, which is true cause my Jordan's and other shoes hurt my feet when I'm walking on the treadmill and doing other exercises, or i don't know what to wear. Its a mess. I don't know why I just cant get my ass up and go! I mean I really enjoy my work outs when I go! to many excuses. I wish I had a Wii or the Xbox Kinect, *omg that so fun* but I really don't have any space to even do it in my house. My room is like someones closet..(October),Ii would prob never get off a video game cause I love them! My Nintendo DS isn't helping! Im hopeless. Sorry to digress. I mean seriously my meds have me feeling some type of way some days. I mean really for the past month its been pretty bad. I have been sick, sluggish, tired and just out of it! I know its my meds among my eating habits and not being healthy. I have Hypothyroidism and I have to take my medicine so that it speeds my metabolism up, but the exchange is have not so good days. It pretty much sucks!! I hate taking the medicine, but one of my resolutions for the year is to take it everyday! I have been doing well with that, so far! But seriously i need some motivation! ugh! Need help! Until next time Muah and Muah!

The Weekend!!

So this weekend has been a crazy one.. Quick, fun, emotional and just I don't know. I don't have another word for it. On Friday I was so content on staying at home. I remember when you couldn't catch me at home on a Friday night. It was like a sin or something...but anyway I stayed home and got a few things done. Laundry, did some bills and financial organization. Watched Lottery Ticket. It was actually a great movie. I was dying laughing at most parts...and just relaxed. I took me the most relaxing shower that I have had in a long time it was just a great night and plus no one was home with me..Thank God!(probably why it was so relaxing for me).


Saturday, my family celebrated my grandmother being sober for 22 years. We actually had a great day. We went furniture shopping because that's really what she wanted, and just spent quality time together. it was great! After the long Journey of  actually finding some furniture that she liked, after about a year of searching for the perfect set, we celebrated at Ruby's!! I had been wanting some mozzarella stick for a minuet now..(i know that's bad) But i ordered the classic sampler which includes Chicken fingers, mozzarella stick and cheese and bacon fries. While ordering i said to myself ok this is the last time I'm ordering this. But I actually got full off the salad bar. I ate raw spinach, grapes, a couple pieces of cheese, sunflower seeds, and olive oil..i don't like any dressings anyway. I ended up wasting the rest i ate one cheese stick and one in a half chicken finger and like eight fries. I just didn't want it!!! but after dinner i went home and crashed.


On Sunday i was just having one of those days. I just didn't want to leave my bed. I wasn't in the mood for church or getting dressed. But it happened. i got up got dressed and went to church. Sometimes i have those days when I'm just feeling a hot mess! i hated what i had on, my hair. i was just Uncomfortable!! but while i was sitting there i thought to myself..pssst Your in church its not about u right now chick. So i relaxed my mind and concentrated on the service and not that my smedium ass sweater was riding up my back. and i got through it. I didn't even want to socialize i just left and went home and took them clothes off and snuggled in my bed to watch TV. All day i was like yeah I'm going to the gym. yep I'm going then i looked up and it was 12 midnight. Oh well for that. I swear where did my motivation go. I was on my grind a couple months ago. But imma get it back!! I got to!
 Until next time! <3 Muah and Muah!

Oh My!

Long day today!!! Whew! But my mama is doing well. Richmond was a fun trip.

Day Two!

It’s been a long day! Work is crazy, but I will be aight!! Okay so I am so excited about this blogging thing. On my free time-*what free time* I have been looking up different templates and searching other folks blog trying to get ideas and just inspiration! Well it is a pretty nice day outside today and I wish I was in enough shape to go running. Seems like a good running day! I have to confess I have not been to this gym that I am paying for in about a month, due to illness and just being tired after a long day at work. But I have to get back on my grind. I keep looking at all these show and infomercials and I believe I can do it too. Sometimes a person does need motivation. I am going to put some pics of the size I used to be and the size I am now! ugghhh!*can’t look* >>maybe that will be my motivation. Until now I have not really shown any real body shots. Only head shots. Cause you know I am sexy! HEHEHEHEHEHE! Instead of having this vanilla milkshake sitting on my desk it should perhaps be water. I swear I was doing so well. I don’t even know my weight Right now and really I don’t even want to get on a scale. But that is a must! I know I probably be working but hey. Ill call this my smoke break. Hopefully I will learn some more new things tonight!
