I have decided yet a- fucking-gin that I have to lose this weight.. Well I have had some success..i will give u a little back story..</p>
<p dir="ltr">I started August 1, 2016. So i was like fuck it imma go full in..broke as hell...i signed up for three months of weight watchers bought a fit bit to make me a little more motivated (it works) and decided no more fries, minimum pizza (fav), oh No Soda and some other changes...and just went full force...switched off that  food like a switch..well the first week I had to go to Richmond for a week..did good..walked as much as i could..didnt eat out as much...ate good breakfast..drank healthy smoothies..was feeling good...when i got home after that week I was so excited to get on the scale to see if i had made any changes..well i got on that damn scale and that joint said negative 14 pounds...14 ma-fuckin pounds down! Oh I was hypeeddd.. i told my mama, grandma, called my bff...was so damn motivated..i went walking that same day! So yay!! I was happy! But let me tell u..that same happiness didn't last too long...now when i first weighed my self..i weighed myself like 4 times before I was like this is real....untill I still couldn't believe it and stood back on that scale the next morning...and yeah it said ....+14 pounds...WT entire F? I mean what just happened...i didn't eat anything crazy..in fact I had been eating like a fucking bird..and not a vulture, a bluebird..smh..yeah allllll my motivation went out the window. I was so hurt like man this sucks...that was the worst day..</p>
<p dir="ltr">But</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next day I kept going..see if u know me..you will know i am a picky eater..not by choice but yeah...i hate it so much! So food has always been my struggle..just trying to figure out what to eat. This is a everyday battle for me. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So update: <br>
It's been a whole month and I rather than what i used to do, work out Extra hard and going in...i tried to change my eating habits to see if i will at least lose something with only making slight changes. I go to my weight watchers meetings weekly and they really do help..just lets you know all women and men have issues with their bodies regardless of your size...i secretly side eye size 3 bishes sometimes but hey maybe they need help too..</p>
<p dir="ltr">So today Sept 6, 2016. I have finally hit 5.2 pounds down..i so happy. Now when i start working out foreal thooooo!! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bish it's on!!!</p>

<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So my friend Shan sends out this weekly tweet to myself and two other Lovelies..shes like a great accountability partner.. This week the question was, what are your goals for the week? In my brain I had a million answers, so I thought. But as I sat trying to put down a great answer, I got nothing.. Damn...why am i struggling with a goal for myself...now, when i saw this tweet i was like OK, I got this, let me respond...so as i typed but then i got stuck...its like i almost doubted myself as soon as i thought of a goal...again.</span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My initial goal I was I was thinking about was that, I'm gonna be on time all week to work...but i cut that short when i realized that i was already late this morning. Then i was like my goal was to work out in some sort of way(walking, gym, Wii, joining a class) but cut that short because I'm going out of town in the middle of the week and knew that right after work I would be hopping right in bed. Then I just froze. Like why am I blocking my own self. I realized, looking back now, that I do this a lot. Before I can start something I doubt myself and then low key talk myself out of it. I mean like all the damn time, I Do This! AAAAHHH!!! I have to figure out a way to be my own cheerleader instead of my biggest doubter. So all in all..i guess that's my goal for the week! I will be a cheerleader for myself rather than a doubter! Boom!!!</span>A Brand New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284570408755152530noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922673617450611099.post-31310051670955394472016-02-09T21:37:00.002-05:002016-02-09T21:47:30.239-05:00Bish What?<span style="color: magenta;">So today is Feb 10, 2016. Ive managed to still be in this weight loss rut. Thinking again that I need to loose this weight. Iwww am at the heaviest ive ever been in my life. I know that I need to change and im unsure why I cant make myself get up and go to the gym anymore. Im more embarrassed that im still in this position. I sometimes dont know how to get motivated..I have to learn how to motivate myself. I need to do something..</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Ive always thought I was fat or pleasantly plump for better terms. I really only notice it when I see full length pictures of myself. Probably why im a selfie queen. I mean I am beautiful as fuck..well my face. Ive heard a couple of times, from close friends and family, that If I JUST lost the weight I wpuld have the total package! Bish what? Bish I am the total package. Well thats what I tell myself anyway. But I guess it's the truth. I guess they just try to help. I mean I need to loose weight. Thats just point blank period!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">It starts with me!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Today I start, AGAIN!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Im just gonna leave my thoughts here. Not for likes or views..just a place for me to vent since I dont have that husband or boyfriend yet! Ha!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">I still hope I can be in extreme weightloss..imma still submit my . App when it's time..lol..I need some help seriously with this!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;">Well thats all for today!</span><br />

I think I finally got an epiphany that some shits gotta change. Man this year didn't go anyway that I thought that it was gonna go. By now I should be at least 50 pounds lighter that what i was. So much for that for sure. I actually gained weight. My heaviest yet. Don't know the exacts because I am afraid to see the numbers on the scale. I need to start all over again. I think I'm okay with that though. I think its time for me to get up off my ass.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">This month of September has been the worst for me. As we know i have Hypothyroidism. I had stopped taking my medicine because it wasn't making me feel any better so i thought. Well on the 3rd of Sept I started being real weak no energy.and that went on throughout the weekend. then on Sept 7, 2011. i had the worst feeling i ever had in my life. I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden i became very lightheaded, almost unable to hold my head up. Couldn't stand straight, couldn't walk head hurting, shortness of breath.muscles were stiff. I seriously thought i was gonna have to go to the emergency room but Thank God i work in a company with a free clinic because i was able to see a Dr. as soon as things went down. Someone escorted me down to the clinic because i was unable to walk by myself. So went to the Dr at the free clinic. Said that he couldn't really notice too much from just the normal test Dr 's do with checking your eyes and reflexes and listening through a stethoscope to hear my heart. So the nurse took me in and did all my blood pressure and blood sugar test. My blood pressure was so high and my blood sugar was very low. On top of me not taking my medicine which i needed to be taking every day and stopped taking for over a month... UGGGGGHHHH! They gave me a Boost nasty drink and told me to lay down that i needed to be escorted home because it was no way i could drive home. I went home and crashed out. I was not feeling well at all. and lets just say its day 15 and i still am not feeling 100%. I think its gonna be with me until i get the medicine in my system and back working properly.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I got to get better. i need help though. I don't know who to seek physical help from. I joined a gym. but i feel lonely and don't feel like I'm getting what needs to be done, done. I bought a Wii, but I don't have the time or money to commit to working out on it. I know just seems like more excuses. I need to be on one of those workout shows so that i can be pushed.</span><br />

I really have a problem with giving up too easy and motivation. It all started when I stopped going to my spinning class on Thursdays. It just seemed as if something else would continue to come up on those days. So after about three weeks of missing that class I pretty much gave up going to the gym, working out or eating anything that was good for me. I just Gave up! With all that said I have not been to the gym in 3 months. About 63 dollars wasted. Gone right down the drain. I have probably gained like 15 pounds. I haven't even got on the scale to even see. It is just a Hot Ass Mess. Its really no other way to put it. I still yearn to be my perfect size 10 or 12. But they way things are going it seems as if i will never get there again!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">I have been going through a whole lot. Just emotionally, mentally and of course physically. I have been like in a daze. Just depressed about the way life is right now. Seems as if i will never be unstuck. Its very depressing. I try to have fun and be the outgoing person that I used to be. But i just end up back in a corner and very unsociable. I always have the feeling of i just wanna be home. I don't even see my bestie. family, friends. just because i hate being outside or around new people. I just feel uncomfortable all the time. Like people are just judging me already. People always tell me "you shouldn't care what other people say or think about you" but its hard for me. I don't go to shopping like I used to. That's probably because living paycheck to paycheck and it is getting very hard to keep up with my spending habits. My job has turned into a job that I pretty much hate going to everyday. I used to love the job, but people are so not trustworthy its sad. they just try to stab u in the back. Life is crazy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">The constant feeling just to be at home in the bed has left me without the motivation or belief in myself that I will even be able to get another job. I wish i could sometimes just up and move to another state and just start fresh..new people, friends, lifestyle. Just ready to move out! When I first started this blog my ultimate goal was OCT 2011! I could have prob reached that goal if i would have just persevered. But now when I look at October 2011 the only thing that will be done changed is my age. I will be 27 still living at home, paycheck to paycheck, and overweight. Its sad. I just have to do something. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">The daily things that I battle with should be enough to motivate me but somehow it just makes me wanna hide. I went to Bush Gardens with my lil sister, shes 24. i was so ready to go. I was just Hot and tired, feet hurting, sweating, hungry, thirsty. I was just ready to go. And the icing on the cake was i tried to get on a ride and the dude literally had to put all his weight on the seat just to fasten the seat belt. I was so embarrassed. this wasn't the Monique that i knew. It was like a little sappy, sluggish, depressed, chick And i had no idea who that person is. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">But i know this blog is all over the place. I am on the road of getting back on track. I am trying to be a more positive thinker and person. I am starting to come out of my room and out of the house. Trying to take my medicine, even though that has failed too, so that i wont be sick, tired and out of it. I am trying to make this be the last negative blog that you will read about me. I am trying to keep it as real as i can. If i come to a crossroad again i am gonna at least try to type about it to try and get over it and keep it moving. i know that this is something that i can do. All around. i just need some motivation and help. imma sign off for now. Tomorrow maybe my thoughts will be together and will make better since. Until next time!

But i have been doing well on my weight loss goals. Now after my first 12 pounds were lost i have just been stuck for a while. Still trying to keep to my changed eating habits and drinking water. Every now and again i slip in a soda. Which i really need to stop. And another confession, after having my 4 year old niece and hardly any sleep i had to eat a little bag of cookies. the grandmas cookies. But i drank like 5 bottles of water! and i think i worked it off at the gym today! but yeah. For Lent( i know u are supposed to keep it between you and God) but i have giving up all unnecessary snacking. I am doing ok so far! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">So three weeks ago I had just started going to the spinning class! Well lets just say <span style="color: cyan;">I LOVE IT!!!</span> The only thing that I hate is that seat! I bought a seat cover and everything but it still tears that little area up!!(That may be TMI) But I have been going for four weeks straight and it gets easier and easier each week. My first two weeks I was hardly keeping up with the class. Now I am keeping up with them on almost everything. Sometimes I'm so busy adjusting my ass on the seat I miss something. LOL! But I don't plan missing a class at all. I even went to a class half sick. I did see a class today that looked mighty interesting. They were stretching and doing some routine. I don't think it was zumba but it could have been.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">But it has truly been a journey!! I am excited! I am going to try and update a little more than every 3 weeks. <span style="color: cyan;">Talk to you later! MUAH&</span></span><span style="color: cyan;">MUAH!</span>A Brand New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284570408755152530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922673617450611099.post-4236844004826167552011-02-18T09:18:00.000-05:002011-02-18T09:18:16.184-05:00Break Doowns and Starting over AGAIN!!<span style="color: magenta;">So I will start this off with saying last Saturday 2/12/11, I had a crazy break down in the grocery isle at Target. So again I have a crazy problem with food> I just eat certain things. Nothing mushy, no condiments really, if it smells or looks nasty, not Eating it!! So<span style="color: cyan;"> I WAS</span><span style="color: cyan;"> FEELING EXTRA MOTIVATED</span> to get back on track and actually look for foods that I could eat and still be healthy. So i started my journey up and down the isles at Target grocery! I had my note pad, to jot down what i found, then as i was going up and down each isle, i stopped looked at my paper and it was straight <span style="color: cyan;">BLANK</span>. No entry was made. I was like Damn it seriously has to be something in here that i eat other than pizza, bacon and corn. I didn't even bother to put them on the paper because that was a given. By now i was like in the middle of the store and starting to get to the sweet isle. with crackers, cookies, and other nonsense. So i just bypassed that isle all together. then was the chip isle, then the soda isle, By the time i got to the cereal isle my face was covered in tears. I couldn't find nothing in the whole store. I was done once again! I sent out a text message to my guy and said, and i quote,</span><br />
<blockquote><span style="color: white;">U ever just felt sad and discouraged and just ready to give up, even though you have given up before on that exact same thing millions of times before. I am feeling sad, discouraged and depressed and ready to say forget it once and for all! </span></blockquote><span style="color: magenta;">Well he called me with words of encouragement and that just made me cry even more. Yeah i was feeling all types of down. But i thought i was gonna loose my motivation but I didn't. I left target in a flash and my guy met me at Wal-Mart. He helped me go down each isle and choose the healthy foods that i could snack on and try for dinner and lunch time. Now I'm not saying I didn't get bacon, cause I did, but i got low sodium bacon. Well c how that taste. I was also checking all the sugars and calories and sodium on all the packaging making sure i wasn't getting anything that had too much of either. I got a lot of fruits and spinach. 35 calorie bread and 60 calorie chocolate. <span style="color: cyan;">$98 dollars</span> later i had a whole basket full of yummy healthy goodies. I actually have been doing well with that too. and no one in the house has beat me to them. Yay! So I'm motivated once again. I think thought this whole process you will see a lot of breakdowns but some survival stories too! I am so excited for this journey!!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">So, I have been going to the gym at least 4 times a week and it has been paying off. I have been feeling a little better instead of a big ol' blob walking around! I now see people that I grew up and work with in the gym, they skinny though, but its good just to see them and give encouraging words. Now Tonite i start my first beginners <span style="color: cyan;">spinning class</span>!! I probably shouldnt start off with this class because I am like super out of shape. but the instructor is my nurse, from the Dr, and she insured me that I will be fine and to just do what I can do.. I'm more scared about getting on a bike. I mean I haven't got on a bike in like 10 years or more. Hell, do I know how to ride a bike. is it gonna hurt my crotch or squeeze my buttocks...lol at crotch.. OK i diverted. I don't know. But imma try it out tonite <span style="color: cyan;">Pray for me</span>!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">until next time!

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZ6AqMJIWa4/TVRoeKuVjPI/AAAAAAAAACI/4IjKuKyZnqs/s1600/cake.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: magenta;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lZ6AqMJIWa4/TVRoeKuVjPI/AAAAAAAAACI/4IjKuKyZnqs/s200/cake.bmp" width="200" /></span></a><span style="color: magenta;">While making the decisions or better myself or not, I was doing bad, I mean really bad. Eating pizza and cake and chips, just all types of foolishness! But I decided that all that mess is out he window. I do have a small obstacle in my way. I am a very picky eater. I have to find somethings that i can eat that are both filling and healthy. I just discovered in the last couple of months that i love salad. i don't eat dressing but I love raw carrots, oh and raw spinach. i just gotta go shopping for myself..($moneytight) But I am going to put something aside for it. Really I almost gave up on myself again. I thought i had some sort of support system but at that moment i realized that i have to do it for myself. I kept screaming for help but no one pushed me! So in this process, I am by myself and I'm okay with that. </span></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5isee8JFXz8/TVRp7J8NqnI/AAAAAAAAACU/4M5IsCP8_44/s1600/reebox.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; height: 150px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; width: 205px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5isee8JFXz8/TVRp7J8NqnI/AAAAAAAAACU/4M5IsCP8_44/s200/reebox.bmp" width="200" /></span></a><span style="color: magenta;">I recently purchased a scale that I have right beside my bed, and it read 7 pounds lighter than what I had been a couple of weeks ago. I was excited to see that. In the past week, after tossing all the foolishness out the window,<span style="color: cyan;"> i changed a lot of things</span>. I First started going back to the gym. I finally got my shoes and got my workout gear together and started going. I don't get that sausage biscuit at Mc Donald's any more. I opt for some delicious Multi-Grain Cheerios that i really do enjoy. I drink Water all day long. or at least i try to. Again i make sure i have a full glass of orange juice in the morning. I have been eating a lot more fruit and no snacks or a little snack. I also try not to eat anything after 7pm. This past week and a half i have been doing great.</span></div><span style="color: magenta;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njaWzZKyfWM/TVRpxYRP90I/AAAAAAAAACM/6aenxoLhySc/s1600/cereal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: magenta;"><img border="0" h5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njaWzZKyfWM/TVRpxYRP90I/AAAAAAAAACM/6aenxoLhySc/s1600/cereal.jpg" /></span></a><span style="color: magenta;">Going to the gym is so fun to me. Its like I'm in my own little world sort of. i am a very observant person , and i watch everything and everybody. That's probably why i sometime feel like people are watching me. But other than that i try to zone out. I wish i had a workout partner or could find someone at the gym to talk to so they can work out with me. I don't know anyone there. But maybe when i get my trainer next month i can start meeting people. Cause you know I'm shy around people i don't know. I am definitely trying and hopefully 7-10 more pounds will fall off. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />

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</span>. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9_Q13Hwvt-U/TUBAoNEl_RI/AAAAAAAAAB4/7CrnPBC64Lc/s1600/Easytone.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" s5="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9_Q13Hwvt-U/TUBAoNEl_RI/AAAAAAAAAB4/7CrnPBC64Lc/s200/Easytone.bmp" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9_Q13Hwvt-U/TUBA2IGTYMI/AAAAAAAAAB8/DuKlp7mSYk4/s1600/nike.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9_Q13Hwvt-U/TUBA2IGTYMI/AAAAAAAAAB8/DuKlp7mSYk4/s200/nike.bmp" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: cyan;">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 <strike>guess</strike> 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!</span></div>A Brand New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284570408755152530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922673617450611099.post-5432275993408821762011-01-25T16:20:00.000-05:002011-01-25T16:20:09.670-05:00HELP!! Need Help! Ugh!<span style="color: magenta;">So on <strong>Monday!</strong> 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!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">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..<span style="color: cyan;">Ewww..</span>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!! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">OK So weight loss, umm yeah! A girl needs some motivation ova here. I keep coming up with all these <span style="color: cyan;">excuses</span>. 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 <span style="color: cyan;">excuses</span>. 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! </span><span style="color: cyan;">Until next time Muah and Muah!</span>A Brand New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16284570408755152530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922673617450611099.post-5079930384981365862011-01-24T10:12:00.002-05:002011-01-24T10:28:37.011-05:00The Weekend!!<span style="color: magenta;">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 <strong>Friday</strong> 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 <span style="color: cyan;">just relaxed</span>. 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). </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Saturday,</strong> 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, <span style="color: cyan;">mozzarella stick</span> 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. <span style="color: cyan;">I just didn't want it!!!</span> but after dinner i went home and crashed.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">On <strong>Sunday</strong> 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 <span style="background-color: black;">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. <span style="color: cyan;">I swear</span><span style="color: cyan;"> where did my motivation go.</span> I was on my grind a couple months ago. But imma get it back!! I got to!</span></span><br />

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. </span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: "Bookman Old Style";">Sometimes a person does need motivation</span><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Bookman Old Style";">. 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. <state w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Ill</place></state> call this my smoke break.
