I ran into a lady I haven’t seen in about 6 months. She was just absolutely shocked at how much weight I have lost since she first met me. She wanted to chit chat for a while and I had a lot to do, so I told her I had to hurry because I needed […]
Getting Rid of the Stomach Pooch
I get so frustrated because I still have this stomach pooch. Well, I decided to see just how much it has gone down by putting two photos side by side. As much as I hate seeing old pictures of myself, I am so thankful I have a comparison. If I didn’t know what I truly […]
Sucking My Ass into my Jeans
Okay, I have had these damn jeans for 3 months now. I try them on about every two weeks. It is strange because with jeans I can be anywhere from a size 10 to a size 6. In pants I am mostly a size 8, but I have some 6s that fit well. I even […]
Eating On The Road and Toilet Water
I am getting ready to travel across country and as I pack my clothes I also have to think about the food I will eat on my trip. If I don’t plan ahead, I could get stuck eating something unhealthy, especially at the airports. Of course, you can find a salad even at McDonalds, but it is […]
How the World Views Fat People
It is amazing the difference in how you are treated when you are more attractive physically. Society is just warmer and kinder to fit, attractive people. Sad that we are judged this way, but it is the truth. What is also interesting is how my views have changed as I have lost weight. I don’t […]
Getting Out of my Comfort Zone to Reach Goals
One of the hardest things for me to do in this world is to put myself into social situations. I don’t like to be around people I don’t know or even just be in a large group of people. I avoid situations where I have to meet new people. It makes me very uncomfortable and […]
Working Out When You Don’t Feel Like It
Last night I made the mistake of eating a salad before going to the gym. I was super hungry and needed to put something in my stomach. I guess a salad was not the best choice. About 10 minutes into my workout I began to get cramps in my side. I knew it was from […]
What is beautiful?
Dove started commercials regarding women’s self esteem and they are very touching. Here is one of them:
It is amazing how many women lack self esteem. Even the prettiest/thinnest women I talk to have self esteem issues. It is amazing how little most people think of themselves. I know in my mind I believe I would […]
Chest Workout
I did my cardio first tonight…the elipitical and then the gauntlet. Afterwards I did chest. I wanted to do triceps also, but chest was plenty. I was pretty worn out by the end of the night. I will attach a clip after I finish. I stopped by Walmart after I worked out to see if […]
My Workouts
As you can see from the previous post I did biceps last night. Tonight I will do chest and my two hours of cardio. Diet wise I am doing fine, but I don’t feel like I am progressing. I guess by taking the video clips regularly I will get a better glimpse of myself and […]
