Blogging Off The Weight 3



Alas! My first update after the holidays. How many of you are scared for these results?? I know I cringed when I stepped on the scales this morning however much to my delight I learned that I was able to maintain the loss of 6lbs without gaining or losing anymore. I count this as a WIN! I just KNEW that I gained 10 lbs over all the Christmas dinners! So, now back to calorie counting and adding in some exercise in my spare time when I'm not working! haha Seems all I do is work! I did manage to sneak away from work today on lunch and check out Old Navy's 60% off sale. That is where I found an 89 cent shirt. I purposely bought the shirt in a smaller size, as a goal. It says HAPPY THANKSGIVING...but who cares it was 89 cents and its for motivation!! I'm tempted to post to DISGUSTING picture that will one day be a BEFORE picture...hopefully!! (ya'll pray for me self control!!) My goal for May is to lose 40 by May. I've been told that its doable and healthy....so let's see!!
Ook...since you all love me unconditionally, right?? Here's the disgusting picture:


THAT, my friends should be motivation enough!!! You are just lucky I didn't post the swimsuit BEFORE picture! hahaha Now, go ahead, I know you want to vomit ;)

It's not that bad. I'm with you on the weight loss. It's one of my goals as well. I can lose the weight it's keeping it off that is the biggest struggle. Congrats on maintaining over the holiday--that in itself is a huge accomplishment!!!!

My Grandpa

Image
As I am sure many of you have read or heard, my grandfather passed away this week after a long hard fought battle over the years and especially this last month. One thing can be said for sure, my grandfather was a fighter with a will to live and one you never heard complain about any of his ailments. He always had a smile on his face and a content heart just to be with his loved ones. Through the past several weeks I have stopped and just watched as the hand of God has carried my family with His outpour of grace and mercy in some very unfortunate circumstances and times. I sat next my fading grandfather as he caressed a picture of a better and younger era with his shaking frail hand, a time where health and time were on his side. A time where dreams were being sought and the future was bright. He stared at the picture and you could almost see the memories on his face as he was seeing them. I noticed his hand; a shaky frail hand that has done so much, built churches, houses, chalkboards

Blogging Off The Weight & More

Nope, I have not forgotten, everyday when I crave that chocolate or that supersize meal... I think about this picture of the old cantankerous lady in a moo-moo and try my best to resist such temptation!! The scales are showing a loss of about 28 pounds (depending on the week of the month its 30, HA!!!!) While these results are slow I am reminded that just like everything else in life, this too is a process, filled with ups and downs. Do you ever just have those rare days that you feel skinny?? I know I do and those are the days that I REALLY try to avoid the mirrors! Let me have my delusional skinny day once a month! haha One day, it will no longer be a delusion and I will have a flat stomach but that day is not today! I have noticed a change in some clothes and how they fit, that is fun. Swimsuit season is basically upon us and my body sings "oh happy day" in a sarcastic tune when I think about this! However I did find a swimsuit that I feel pretty in and I think thats reall

I have not had the chance to be a part of a Link Up blog party since this summer. Today I have a little bit of time so I am taking advantage of such!! SO here we go: What I’m Loving Wednesday!! I am loving my new hot pink vest! Yes you CAN see me coming from a mile away!! I am loving my glitter nails by the Sinful Colors line at Walgreens. I mean who doesn’t  love good quality nail polish for $1.99?!?! I am still forever loving my favorite city, New Orleans and desperately craving a trip! I am loving the start of a new semester, I think. While really I feel intimidated by this semester and its day 2 I am happy to be on the path of getting another semester behind me! (and that’s not even all my books…..) I am loving that Mardi Gras season is here.  No, I am not a partier and I am not Catholic but I do love the season of Mardi Gras and getting together with friends for fun, food and beads! I love the colors and the king cake but most of all I love it bec
