So after I seriously made a massive pig out of myself on Super Bowl Sunday, I pushed myself to get outside & go for a walk. Well, I ended up walking 4 miles! I fell good about it, but I am sure my legs are cursing me out! :P I am going to re-join Weight Watchers this coming Sunday. I have done the program once before & it really works....as long as you stick to it & don't go off half cocked like I did, managing to gain back most of the weight I had lost.
I blame myself completely for allowing myself to get heavy again. Yes, I admit Doug doesn't eat very healthy but I guess I shouldn't have followed suit. I need to have more will power, I know that is exactly my problem. Instead of coming home from work & snacking I should just drink water, unless I really do feel ravenous...but have a healthy veggie snack NOT potato chips! I swear about 85% of me is all potato chip!
I keep thinking about 9/13/2013....That is the day of our wedding! I don't wish for my photos to have to be in a panoramic shot because I am the size of a hippopotamus...I want to be happy, healthy & able to breathe when I get down on the dance floor! Beyond that I don't wish to be a diabetic. I know too many people whom suffer from this disease & it worries me that I won't be able to control it & I will be dead before I am 50 years of age. I have been heavy a good 75% of my lifetime & it is about it I FINALLY kick the fattie out of me!
I really wish sometimes I did not leave Long Island because at least there I had friends I could exercise with at times. Having not a single friend here in NJ sucks & getting Doug to take a walk with me is impossible. UGH! Anyways, that's it for this edition of my life. Until next blog....SMILE! :D

Some call it slacking, others call it being so damn busy you forget you have a blog!
Geez! Almost a month without my insane mind being blogged, how did you ever live without me?! :p
So let's recap. I have been trying to lose weight. Success is not easy I have lost and gained the same 5lbs since my last entry. It pisses me off completely because I have no clue what I am doing wrong.
I have acquired a new work schedule which is 5 days a week with a possible 6th day thrown in if necessary. I always bring my lunch (I try and get it to be healthy) & am busy enough to not be able to gorge on junk. I guess sooner or later my plateau will break....
Not much really else happening in life. Just hope that this mundane lifestyle starts to become more exciting soon, or I may lose my mind! I shouldn't complain, I guess other people have it worse then I.
Well, I am ending it here for now. If I think of anything else to blabber about I will update! Until then....SMILE! :D

Week 1 weight loss
I am down 1.8lbs! It feels like it should be slightly more but I guess a loss is a loss! I know I could have done better with eating but it is difficult when you don't have time to prep healthy food & of course the money to afford the healthy stuff.
But I digress, I believe this week will be better because I will pay more attention to what I eat & of course walk 30 mins a day. Thankfully the PMSing Mother Nature is allowing us in the east a slightly warm winter (for now). Although the one day last week when it was about 20 degrees out I forced myself to walk because I knew if I didn't I would regret it immensely.
I am so excited to begin this journey (yet again but this time I promise to stay on track). I just hope if I gain a small amount I won't be discouraged and give up. So until next blog....SMILE!

Sometimes elderly people can get on your last nerve...
Seriously! I (if you don't know already) am a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) & I spend my days helping elderly people with tasks they can not do on their own anymore. Today the lady I kind of think of as a grandma to me, got on my last nerve! I stopped myself from pushing her down the stairs....UGH! I guess everyone has an off type of day, I shouldn't be complaining because I know I definitely have been incorrigible.
I was happy to escape her home & unfortunately drive to another client who forgets alot (understandable). I wish my stupid boss would listen to the several people whom have told him so far to keep a steady CHHA for her, but I guess it can not be done. After awhile she was fine & she joked with me (which I knew would happen).
I wonder sometimes if I am in the wrong profession, because they are like children, they refuse to listen to something I have been trained for...UGH! I needed to vent! Sorry for this blog....Until next blog! SMILE!

2012 Commitment
Trying to attempt this weight loss thing again! It gets absolutely frustrating when you try hard & there are no or very little result. I know the difficulties of trying to lose weight, it is a process I will be engaged into for the rest of my life.
I have a bet going with my fiance Doug, whomever loses 30lbs first by June 1, 2012 gets something special. 30lbs is a lot to attempt to lose when you have been "off the wagon" for so long. I was once a Weight Watchers member for a few years & they helped me achieve a weight loss of 125lbs....Which sadly the majority of it has crept back upon me :( But with new determination & hopefully a committed partner, we will both lose weight & be healthy for good.
Doug is diabetic, and picky as hell! Not to mention NOT a vegetable lover & maybe an apple, banana or orange he will be eaten occasionally. He will be a difficult one to get into a healthier habit. But I guess since he is willing to attempt this, I will not argue!
Well, that is it for today's blog since I am having brain pains & I can not look at this computer screen any longer. Until next blog! SMILE!

Happy 2012
To start it off....Happy 2012! Here is to hoping this year brings us all happiness & joy!
I am starting this blog because with all my insane rantings or adorable remarks should be cemented into internet history! :p Yes! I will forever use lame ass emoticons because that is how I roll, and I am an individual! That is the way everyone should be, and not a copy of someone else.
Anyhow, to make the first entry short & sweet. I have vowed (yet again) to lose weight in the new year. It is a difficult journey I have succeeded in doing in the past, but life sneaks upon you and you tend to fall square on your ARSE! Everyone's journey to anything they desire can be a long process if you allow roadblocks to obscure your destination, but I can not....will not allow that to happen in 2012!
To end I would like to invite anyone reading my blog(s) to give me POSITIVE feedback! I hope to get maybe a small group of people to help one another to succeed with their achievements.
Until next blog....
