I’m going back on my diet … Yeah, I’ve said that about 15 times already this past month, but I’m serious! In fact, I bought a cleanse yesterday at WalGreens that I will be doing today and tomorrow. I also want to try and write down what I eat; but we shall see if that happens.

WEIGHT - 219lbs

BREAKFAST -
Coffee w/ 2 Splenda, 1 Stok shot and some cinnamon creamer.

I really miss my long hair. My hair is quite short right now (barely touches my shoulders) and VERY high maintenance. I am not too bad with the high maintenance usually, but lately I’ve been very jeans + t’shirt + brush = GO! and haven’t wanted to deal with washing my hair every darn morning!

I read somewhere online that taking pre-natal vitamins makes your hair grow faster. Lucky for me I let my doctor in on the “secret” that hubby and I are planning on working on “Kid #2″ in a couple months and the doctor wrote me out a script for pre-natal’s. Nice! So, I think I am going to start taking them. Might help me get my body back into a healthy state and ready for birthin’!

Either that - or it just might make my hair grow a little faster. I will have to hit eBay for some Hair-Do extensions if it doesn’t begin to grow soon! Sheesh!

I went to the doctors the other day and while I was getting all the preliminary stuff done (you know; temperature because I had been sick, blood pressure, etc.) the nurse had me get on the scale. Now, I know a few days ago (maybe 4) I weighed 213lbs. Back a month ago I weighed 222lbs. As of Friday I weigh 212lbs! So, I am losing.

After I am all finished being SICK I am going to start up taking my diet pills again. I was taking Dexatrim night in the evening and some Hoodia something that I picked up at Wal-Mart for $5. They were curbing my appetite which was what I was going for. I’m not actively “working out” - although I do get out of the house and walk the mall or something. I’m never really just sitting so I am getting some excersise.

So, there’s my weight post for the time being!

I’ve been doing a lot better on the “diet” front lately. The past few days I’ve been eating Lean Cuisines/Lean Pockets and then making a nice dinner for the family. Last nights dinner wasn’t very healthy, but it was GOOD (I made lean steak enchilada’s). I used a lot of cheese, but I used 2% instead of whole milk and lean steak. It was really good!

I love the Lean Cuisines! I wish I could get more coupons for them because I buy them all the time. I don’t like the way the SouthBeach food cooks up (blah!) and the Healthy Choice just doesn’t fill me up. I just ate a Lean Cuisine butternut squash ravioli meal with tons of veggies and it was 350 calories and I’m FULL! Nice!

I need to post more to this blog, I know …. I’m working on it

Found it on YouTube:

It’s not that I want to STOP EATING, it’s just that I want to BE THIN.

Okay, so I was okay … I was okay and I was fitting in my clothes and I was eating. And eating. And eating …. ya know. Then I looked in the mirror and was like WHOA!!!!! who’s that FAT chick there, in that mirror. Jesus Christ girl, you’ve let yourself go. It’s gone way past the point of “I have no energy” and “Okay, some pounds are okay” and “I’m beautiful just the way I am” … way past. I told myself that when I started this blog I’d be completely honest with my readers (ahem, potential readers since I’ve done nada to promo this blog … but, moving along …).

I watched the new season of Biggest Loser the other night and was like, okay, that chick is only a few pounds more then me and I don’t look as big as her.

So, I got on the scale .. maybe to scare the shit out of myself? It read 219lbs. I got off the scale and back on the scale - 219lbs. That woman? On Biggest Loser? Yeah, her starting weight was the same as me.

How did this happen? Wait, I know … Taco Bell, eggnog, rum, Doritos, vodka, beer, Mojitos, cheese, FAT! FAT! FAT!

I guess I can safely quote Fat Bastard now …. “I eat because I’m unhappy, and I’m unhappy because I eat. It’s a vicious cycle …”

Okay … my new mantra … SHUT YOUR FACE BITCH! Damn ….

I’m just not sure where I am at right now on the course of weight loss. The base hubby works at is doing a “competition” of sorts that will be a kind-of Biggest Loser type deal. I was interested in participating, but I’ve been so lazy lately. I LIKE to eat, I LIKE junk food - and I’m not sure if I am ready to give it up (or moderate it actually) right now.

I’m okay with what I look like, I would like to lose weight because I have no energy. But, I don’t even have the energy to get off my butt and do something about the lack of energy.

I’m kindof a mess right now.

This morning I was ready to cry about my (semi-new) super short hair. It just was NOT working for me! Who the hell cries over hair? I normally don’t - but this morning … sheesh! Maybe it was a combination of Aunt Flo visiting and lack of Cymbalta, but, I lost it. I had both the straightener and the curling iron plugged in and heated up. I finally ended up just doing it super straight.

But then, the one thing that made me feel 200% better? My gorgeous RED lipstick from MAC! That just makes my day, seriously. So, aside from the weird hair … lol … I looked good. A little coverup (the Cover Girl matching stuff), mascara and RED MAC LIPSTICK

Girls best friend, you know?

The New Year is traditionally a time to share hopes and dreams. Add a new twist to this tradition by sharing your fantasies. Set the mood for the moment with soft lighting or candles. Open a bottle of wine, and stretch out on the couch in a romantic robe and gown combination from Hips and Curves. Then slowly describe to him in detail how you’ll seduce–and be seduced–by him. A wicked sparkle in your eye will leave him in no doubt that he’ll enjoy acting out your fantasies as much as you will!
