mid morning snack

Smile.......you're on Camera!

I've been good for a while but I've got to kick it up a notch! Bottom line is I am tired of being big. I know I am cute and all that bull but seriously I am still big and I am tired of it!

So I've decided to kick this up a notch and really watch what I eat. My friend came to visit me this weekend while I was at the Jersey Shore. Have you ever had one of those friends that from the time you met her you knew you were meant to be friends with her....well that is how CoachOne is to me. I am calling her CoachOne because of our love for Coach purses but also our ability to coach each other on situations that happen in life.

Anyway...I was talking to CoachOne how I wanted to kick it up a notch and telling her about how I had heard about taking pictures of everything you eat that week. She said "try it and you need to get back on your blog." So......this week that is what I am going to do!

Also, WildOne reported this morning that she has to have her gall bladder removed so giving up drinking is going to very easy for the month of August! (I will prove you all wrong and make you feel bad for laughing at that one) and we both hung up very excited about doing fun things that don't involve drinking!

So this morning I forgot to take a picture of what I had for breakfast so I stole from the internet! This should be interesting and thanks to CoachOne for the pep talk on Saturday.......so love you!

The Good Decision

I talked to WildOne coming into work this morning and she sounded like she was hurting pretty bad and after she told me her total I can understand. 7 shots of Jagermeister and 11 beers. My girl can drink but so can I.

I so made the right decision to go workout with Shirley T. I needed a good workout for my mind and my body. Today I woke up and felt great and productive which is great since work is kicking my butt. If I had been out with her I would be hating my life and dreaming of a greasy cheeseburger!

I counted the calories in the shots 7 x 103 = 721 and 96 x 11 = 1056 total calories in drinking 1,777. I am not saying that I would've drank that much but when WildOne and I get together we can do some damage. Also, I would've smoked which I haven't done in a while (Woooohoooo) and who knows what I would've eaten after drinking all that....I am sure some fries would've been consumed!

I love WildOne but I've just come to the conclusion (the mirror at aerobics helped me) that I can't live like that anymore if I am going to achieve my future fit girl goals.

choices

it was just one of those days that my body and mind needed to work out and i checked online to see if Shirley was teaching aerobics and low and behold she was teaching.

i knew i had told wildone that tonight would be a good night to meet her and cousin of wild one for dinner. she called on my way home and instead of kicking aerobics to the curb i stuck to the plan and am so glad i did. i looked in the mirror while i was waiting for Shirley T. to get the music started and it was horrible. i've got to get back on track!

bottom line....

Here I Go Again....

Whitesnake - New Music - More Music Videos

I dont know where Im going
But, I sure know where Ive been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again


Wow I couldn't have picked a better song for this post. I am back at the fitness and being healthy again. I didn't hit rock bottom like I've done in the past but I haven't been a Future Fit Girl these days either. I was so good before Aruba and after my return it has been hit or miss.

Thursday night I signed up for the Avon Walk for the Cure so I've got no choice but to train. I am horrible if I don't have a motive or event....so I had no choice but to sign up to walk 39. Granted I've walked 60 before but 39 will be just as good. I will walk 26 miles (a marathon...holy smackers) on that Saturday and then 13 on Sunday...hello don't they realize 13 is an unlucky number?

So I've got to get busy raising money and getting in shape. I've been to the gym off and on but I am about to kick it up a notch and get the intensity back!

I loved training for the 60 mile walk because I had to be focused and have a schedule but more importantly it gave me time to get my head clear. Processing something that is bothering you for 14 miles definitely helps to clear my head. Lately with all of these dates and boys I could definitely use a clear head!

So here I go again.....

Tho I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what Im looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

Im just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on loves sweet charity
An Im gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...

Big Girl Turns 35!

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Big Girl, Happy Birthday to you!

I thought I would miss my 21st Birthday where I woke up from a late night partying and started partying all over again but this morning I woke up in a cool bed (I will tell you about my first home crisis in a bit) in my very OWN house and felt so grown up and accomplished. I then reached for my phone where the birthday text messages started coming in at 5:40am from a drunken Stewart Cramer, who was still partying in Vegas.

I laid in my bed and thought about where I am in life and where I want to be. I want to be healthy and if you know me you know last week was pretty dreary with my colleague being diagnosed with Stage 3-4 Ovarian cancer. I think I've made myself so upset worrying over her that I've convinced myself that I could have it so my doctor has agreed to take me before my year is up. She knows how I get when I read or hear about diseases so we will get that out of the way.

Here is the big kicker....for my birthday this year I didn't buy myself a Coach or something for the house I bought myself a boot camp for fitness. Yep you read that right. My friend, Alligator Molestor, has torn it up the last 3 months so I am going to be a straight up copycat and do it!

I am sure this is going to provide for some great blogs.....stay tuned!

The Red Dress is Packed!

hey friends!

i know i've been absent for a while but you know the song and dance...work and life just get in the way of doing what you want to do at times.

I am packed and ready to go. I actually just finished with putting my fun new clothes in the suitcase. The red dress is packed and ready to be worn. I did throw a pair of spanx in the suitcase just in case the dress doesn't fit exactly how I want it to go....please hold i just realized i forgot to pack my strapless bra and I need to go throw it in....brb!

Oh my....thank god I decided to write this blog....there would've been a very sad girl in Aruba this week if I had forgotten that thing.

Anyway, so I feel good about the shape I am going in and I was thinking about it today on the treadmill and if I had busted ass with food the entire 72 Days I would be a rockstar but I am pretty proud of what I've done! So I will fill you in when I arrive home. I hope you guys have a great week!

Happy Easter...and eat some peanut butter eggs for me!
