Just the girls and the pooch had pouch water

This was our first walk on the trail, forgot what I was going to write but oh well. I damn sure gave it a whirl,lol.

At work in a skirt

Today I wore a skirt to work, actually I think it is a mini skirt but hey it just being a skirt makes me happy. I haven't worn one in a while. I use to wear a couple when I was a little bit bigger in size but then I stopped because I thought I started to look horrible so it feels good to be in a skirt and not think I look like a big whale in one. YAY!!! I think I look rather cute today in my little blue polo, faded blue jean skirt and turquoise crocs. Then this morning driving into work I realized, I forgot my panties!! I can't believe it but oh well, I mean who is going to know except whoever reads this, lol, ya'll don't know me. It feels kind of naughty but hey that's my middle name isn't it, oh wait, naw it's something else, lol.
I'm feeling good today or it could just be because of my morning green tea but we'll see as the day rolls on. It think it is the weather making me feel all giddy. It is all raining and carry on over here, dark and cloudy. Just the way I love it. Now if I can get the people in my life to cooperate this day will and would be so much better, lol, you people know who I am talking about. I know Mel knows who I am talking about or at least she better, grrrrrrrrr.
Mel is downstairs being bored to death. I need to stop down there but I don't feel like going to deal with those people right now. I think the only reason I've been down there these last few days is because she is there and because of Marc. I don't think if it weren't for them I would be down there at all unless I was doing a quick tour, a stop by Darion's and then a stop by Michael Sledge, I would go down there at all. Ok I don't know if that last sentence made sense but gosh darn it I get it and that is all that really counts now isn't it, lol.
Yesterday I didn't exercise I finally let me body rest after multiple days in a row of working out so today there is no rest which is fine by me. It was so hard yesterday trying not to exercise. I'm doing the workout at home today because I forgot my gym bag but I think that was on purpose. I'm suppose to have a great time at lunch today but we will see. I don't know what I am having yet but it will be damn delicious, muahahahaha!!!
I haven't had breakfast yet but I keep trying to get to it. It isn't anything special but I am damn hungry. I had to rush around this morning because I woke up early, way too early so I laid back down and woke up 45mins late. I had to transfer money, grab the pooch, run to starbucks to get Steven coffee, come back home put the pooch up, grab my jewlery, set up his coffee, gather some green tea for the road and then head out the door. I at least needed to leave by 545 no later than 6 but today I left at 610 which is too late but oh well I made it safely in one piece and they can just kiss it, I gave it a good whirl this morning. It shouldnt have been raining real good and hard this morning or things would have been different, lol.

Another Day Another Dollar

Here at work, another day another dollar and the dollars aren't coming in big enough quantities and we are going to have to change that sometime soon lets say next semester at school, muahahahahaha!!!
Anyhoot! I had a busy day Saturday. My girl Mel and I ran around together like high chickens like we always do getting stuff done, cooking, cleaning, laughing, whatever comes up, lol. Sunday was ok but we had pretty much lost our pop from Saturday which was fine by me but then Monday came and I had a migraine that finally did just quit, lol. Yesterday though I swear we were out later than what we wanted to be. We did end up getting some williefoofoo but still gosh darn it. THen there is this poor girl Blair, she is going through so much at a young age, 22 and already being served with all kinds of papers, getting lawyers, husband is acting like an ass.
She just needs a friend or two or something, poor girl brought out here from TN with nobody but her huband and his family then he goes and pulls some crazy shit, oh well, not for me to worry about. I can't even get mine to act right. The only husband I know that can't seem to make time and have lunch with his wife on his day off when his days off are Tuesday and Wednesday. The messed up thing is I could get Byron my friend to come out and have lunch with me on his day off if it were during the week before I could get my husband to. He hasn't even offered to come out here to have lunch with me. Lawdie-B don't get me started. Last night I think he came to bed at a descent hour at least. Then had the nerve to ask me this morning what I was doing up so early. Hell I'm getting ready for work and the day, not like you were cuddling or anything when I got up, you didnt notice until now so don't worry about why I'm up.
Left my water flavors at home along with my towl for working out. I took all my workout stuff home and washed it Friday, silly me forgot to put one back in so I ended up taking a shower and drying off with paper towels, lol. At least I accomplished what I was trying to which is/was drying off, LMBAO. Worked out for 40mins today on the eliptical and I think I did 40-45mins of yoga yesterday. It is hard to tell about the yoga because he talked at the beginning of it and I'm not sure if they included that in the time display or not. Oh well at least I got some in, some level 3 so I think I'll be ok no matter if I am missing 5mins, lol. I think I am going to do some yoga tonight but not sure which one though. I might just do the 30mins since I did 40mins of working out today. I think tomorrow I will give it a break on the old bod. Give my bod a chance to get its wits about itself since I have been working out since last week with only one day I didn't. Soon I'm going to take a break. I can't promise it will be tomorrow though. I was thinking more Billy tomorrow but I might rest on it though.

Monday Monday, it ain't like Sunday...lol

Those are just a few pictures from my backyard. I'm trying my hand at the photography thing. I figure I better start with something easy like flowers but then again I've gone good with the pets of the household as well. We are just trying somethings with our digital camera. I've done some good shots of people and events. I'm still learning my camera so some mistakes have been made but oh well, good time good times.

I cheated today on my lil Extreme Fat Smash today but you know I did yoga today, Level3 Hot Yoga and I'm not going to beat myself up about having Al's Hamburger. Besides I ate good this morning with the Orange juice not from concentrate, the oatmeal, the strawberries and necterine later then like I said I did yoga today for exercise. I'm feeling it I'm feeling it. I'm going to eat cabbage and shiner sausage tonight which will be good eats plus I've had lots of fluids. I'm just so crazy, finally got my sleep meds so I can sleep. Can't sleep without the smoke, lol. Welp I'm off to go eat, just thought I should write a little bit since you know I needed something to do.

Swingin Wild Monkeys

I am cramping my life away today it seems. It is killing me, ok well maybe not killing me but it damn sure doesn't feel pleasant. Started this crap yesterday but I worked out and plan on doing the same today so hopefully it will keep the cramps from getting outrageously out of control because this is just crazy. I haven't had a cramp or period in forever, a girl starts working out and the body changes, oh well guess I just have to deal with it.
I for damn sure didn't eat right this morning. I just wasn't feeling it cramping and all. I stopped by starbucks, got a short chai latte and a petite vanilla scone but I did have a plum with it all this morning. I'm starving again but plan on eating an apple or necturine before I go workout, yes I did say go workout. I gotta, I just gotta or my day won't feel complete. Damn shame I am hooked to this working out business.

Oh did I tell you that it feels like monkeys are on my insides hanging and swinging from my F-Tubes? If I didn't well there ya go, it is crazy. Last time I thought I was dying for real. Thank goodness I didn't go to the Dr. behind it or she would have laughed at me, maybe not but gosh I haven't had cramps like this since I was in Jr. High. I guess that is what I get for being active and losing weight. Like my mom use to say, that's the price you pay for beauty.

Went to myspace today. I haven't been in a while and decided to post some comments, a bulletin, change my picture, you know just odds and ends type stuff. I also decided to finally get a music playlist or at least have one somewhere so I can listen at work.. It is driving me crazy.
I wanna go home I wanna go home!! I shouldn't have brought myself up in here today but oh well I did.

Found a neat website to create a playlist. It is pretty neat too. It is called projectplaylist.com, I had to write down what it is before I forget all about it.

What's goin on...

The italian food was good peeps. I had Fett, w/shrimp and crabmeat in a cream sauce, 2 amaretto sours, and tiramisu for dessert w/chocolate drizzled on top. Oh it was all delish. I couldn't eat it all, I didn't need a doggy bag, wasn't going to eat it later, and I didn't feel guilty about leaving some there. One should never feel guilty about leaving some food behind. They give us way more than we should eat anyway and if you know you are not going to eat it later or shouldn't eat it later then don't take it home. Anywho Anywho

We ended up getting a Costco membership for the lovely price of $50, just I think $5-10 more than last time we had one which was I think back in 2002. We bought a microwave and a pots & pans set which I'm really enjoying so far. The microwave I'm going to have to get the hang of and also read the book for it. I have not seen one like it, most of it is self explanitory but I think there are some features we are not utilizing because we do not know they are there. That shall be a quick and easy read though I'm sure.

I boxed all of our old pots & pans and I'm going to sell those to Mel for like $5. He asked me what I was going to do with them last night; I told him I don't know but I had already talked to Mel and said I would sale them to her at garage sale prices. Out with the oldies in with the newbie goodies, lol.

Yesterday I was dying because the dwarfs in glass clogs came to practice riverdance on my metal head and it wasn't pretty but I didn't cheat too bad though. I met Mel at LeMadeleine and we had lunch, a safe lunch too I might add. I knew I wasn't going to get in a couple of meals due to the nap I planned on taking so I tried to get a few extra calories in at lunch.
I had:
Duet Magnifique
1/2ceasar salad
1/2chicken salad sandwich on a croissant (although now I see I could have had the french dip or roasted veggie but next time)
sm cup cream of mushroom soup
triple chocolate cookie (a little more than half, shared w/Mel)
water to drink
Dinner was pretty easy to take care of. I just ended up eating what I took to work for lunch, lol, but I also sauteed some veggies, zucchini, green onions, & bell peppers. Today I'm going to be on track except this morning I can't have a fruit smoothie because for one I'm out of milk and two there wasn't enough time for all that this morning, so I just winged it this morning and had oatmeal with a saucer peach. I am as full as I wanna be, lol. I'm so excited I feel better today I just wanna rush down to the gym and workout but I think I better wait just a little while long, breath, breath, I can do it, lol.
Well I'm off to go do this PDP crap for work. Periodic review business. I know I'm all behind on my training and I'm the one that set the dates but I tell ya if I knew I was going to be able to do something with the training then I wouldn't procratinate on taking it.

Our 3rd Anniversary

Today is my anniversary, yup you read it right 3yrs. It seems like it has been forever though I will tell you that. I'm not even in the mood to go pick this man up a card at the moment. I'm just not feeling all that lovey dovey, sentimental, etc. I know it is ashame but he hasn't been the husband I've been needing him to be. We are suppose to go on vacation sometime soon so maybe, hopefully that time alone together without CNN, MSNBC, Glocktalk, etc will do us some good. IT kills me, you want me there with no friends but yet you do NOTHING with me, grrrrrrrr, it just pisses me off. Tonight we supposedly have a good evening planned, something we both want and need to do together. I'm all excited about going to Portofino again. Oh man that place was just delish. I think I might have to order what Steven had last time. We tried a reproduction at the house and it was delicious but I'm thinking I need to taste how they make it but gosh darn it all their menu looked tempting. Hey since I know this will not be the last time we eat there I guess I'll cruise over the menu and I'll see what hits me.
I'm trying to do good and stay on my Extreme Fat Smash until dinner but who knows I may only cheat a little at dinner with a drink, desserts and of course an appetizer, hell it is our anniversary!!!

Today:
Red Delicious & Cherry Yogurt
Strawberries, plums and a small salad w/honey mustard
chicken w/beans
Italian for dinner babies!!!

After everything, I did this

Today I already mentioned I've done right by Mr. Dr. Ian Smith. I've completed my first official day of Cycle 1 Day 1, now lets hope tomorrow can be just as easy, lol.
I have completed 60mins of exercise but tomorrow I'm going to do it all at work I think. 30mins Yoga and 30mins treadmill but we will see who knows. Maybe I'll just have time and room for the treadmill. I will get it done I tell ya. Oh but like I was writing, I have done 30mins cardio kick and 30mins cardio hip hop

What do we have here

I haven't been in this sucka in a while but here it the heck goes. Today is another new start. I gotta get back on track and lose the last bit of weight I need to lose.

Here it is my very first day trying something new once again to lose weight. I'm giving extreme fat smash a chance to lose 12lbs in 3 weeks. Now I haven't worked out yet, that will be the 2nd challenge of the day but I have passed the first so far which is to eat exactly what was/is specified for today. I went a little overboard with the veggie servings but I couldn't help it. I guess my body just needed the nutrients and such. I gotta get back into taking my vitamins. That would help me so much in losing weight also. I had yoga planned for a workout today but that doesn't strike me. I think I'm going to do my cardio kick and my cardio hip hop to get my workout on this evening. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the little new gym at work and see what that is all about. I guess I better hit that early in the morning though before it gets crowded in that sucka. I forgot to tell Mel about it but I can call here right fast, she'll be excited, hell I'm excited because it is also FREE!!!

Today I ate:
1egg, a golden delicious apple
2small plums & strawberries
garden salad w/honey mustard
pinto beans, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers
green chai tea
peach fresca
1/2 diet pepsi
6glasses of water

Exercise so far is a mystery but hopefully I'll be able to come back and right about it, lol.

I'm glad for my sister too because she is going to start this plan with me. She has two years to lose about 30lbs I am guessing could be less though, to be a cheerleader I am guessing her senior year in high school. She is really determined because she is ready for the book for the plan and the yoga book I'm going to give her. She is going to reach her goal in no time and be a really happy camper.
