50lbs GONE!!!!

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!!!!!!!!!

Since my New Years Resolution, I have lost 50lbs!  Oh my goodness, It feels great to say that!  So I decided to celebrate my achievement with this post about all the improvements I can tell since I have been losing weight.

• I can cross my legs when I am sitting down!  (I never did that before and now its a habit :o)
• I am wearing leggings and it doesn't even look bad
• I went from a size 22 to an 18
• Trying things on is not as much as a hassle
• My boobies shrank!!!!  Though they are still big.....
• I can do a whole step aerobics class without stopping
• I love putting my hands on my hips to show off my shape
• I'm not ashamed to bend over to pick something up
• I like to look at myself in the mirror now
• People have told me that I am an inspiration (I was very emotional when they told me this)
• I LOVE working out now
• I stopped making up excuses when it comes to my weight
• I feel more confident

Those are some of the benefits I have notice since the weight loss.  Though I still have a long journey ahead of me, but man oh man have I come a long way!

My Jam!

Interesting song

Have you all heard this song?!  I was feeling really ugh about relationships but this song really made me think lol.  I don't want to settle at all so I am waiting on God cause He knows what I need and if that means being by myself then hey I am gonna have to learn how to lean on Him with I am feeling lonely. 





Verse 1

25% of all men can't be faithful
40% of them don't mean what they say and 2% of them don't remain and 20 is gay
that leaves you at 10% chance of ever finding your man
that means you better pay attention to these words that I say
I'm gonna teach you how to expose the 90% and show you
what to do to keep the other 10

Chorus
Rule # 1 don't be a booty call if he don't respect ya gurl he gone forget ya gurl
Rule 2 if he's in a relationship and he would cheat on her that means he would cheat you

Verse 2

15% of all men got a complex
15% of all men don't practice safe sex
20% of them come from homes without fathers
There's 50/50 chance that you'll marry a coward
Something to think about when your taking a shower
Something to swallow when you drink ya bottle water
I'm gonna teach how to expose the 90% and show you what to do to keep the other 10

Chorus

Rule # 1 don't be a booty call if he don't respect ya gurl he gone forget ya gurl

Be patient he's waiting
You don't have to settle for that
Leave all that stress alone
Get you a backbone
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
Chances make champions
Gonna take patience
Time still wasted

Chorus

Don't be a booty call if he don't respect ya gurl he gone forget ya gurl
Rule 2 if he's in a relationship and he would cheat on her that mean he would cheat on you
Rule 3 tell him that your celibate and if he want some of your goodies he gone have to work for it

My Fav summertime song :o)

PMS Blues

So this week I have been so sluggish!!!! Ugh and you know why?! My monthly friend has come to visit me this week.  Yesterday I had the worse case of the PMS Blues.  I could not eat without it coming back up, I was dizzy, and just ugh all day.  I did not do anything at all put lay in the bed.

With this I am not looking forward to my weigh in on Thursday.......  I mean I am trying to get back into my regular routine but its hard with the PMS blues.  Any ladies out there that can feel my pain?!  How do you push through it and stay on track with your fitness and your eating?

For this week I am dedicating this Mary J. song to my month friend lol
