Ok so i stole this idea from Roni but i no she wont mind.
I actually have a couple of things that i love about myself but it has taken me awhile to realize what they were. I think that as we get older i perception of ourself changes along with other things… I can remenber when i was in high school how i always hated my nose and my boobs i always thought i had a nose like a pig and that my boobs were always bigger than any of the other girls. Oh and i forgot i hated my butt i felt like it was not big enough.
Ok so now to answer the question i love my legs, eyes, and my feet. I have very athletic, slim, legs. My legs have always been like this along with my hips they are very small. Which is unusal to say because i dont have a big butt, hips, and legs they are actually very small. What i dont like about myself is my stomach and still my boobs but i blame this on the fashion industry today everybody has a boob job that makes them look at perky and nice but as the years go by they start falling south. Now i dont like my stomach because it where i carry my weight and i really wont to lose it. Well i hope all of you guys have a wonderful weekend….

Note to self:
Just because its lunch and everyone else is doing it does not mean you have to. Althought you did pick a salad the deal was to eat your lean cusine and you did not follow through then you had to have a cup of jello and a 100 calorie twix(which you did not need) Next time have alittle will power for yourself and stick to the plan.

Why is it that when im bord i feel then need to shovel something into my mouth? I have found myself doing this more then i need to and i have to find a way to curb this addiction. Do they make a OEA Over Eaters Annomious or a BEA Bord Eaters Annomious because i need to sign up for both. HI My name is Tina and i am a Over Eater and a Bord Eater(tear tear tear). You should see my office this is what foods i have in here at the moment. On my desk is a basket full of Chocolate kisses that were given to me for V-day but luckly i have only eaten one of them a couple days ago. In my desk you will find: 100 calorie twix (i heart you), Crystal Light hard candy, Winter Fresh gum, Life savers tropical, Ice breakers sour hard candy. In my cabinet i have: pretzels, raisins, low fat ritz crackers, 100 calorie chex mix, garden harvest apple chips, and a candle that if it was not wax and if i loved the taste of wax i would eat it. What shall a girl to do?????

So i have been kind of dragging on the new life style. Im still doing it and all its just i have only had one leg in the wagon and the rest of me out of it. So i have to jump full force back in it. This weekend i weighed and was up three pounds but i know i can lose it easy breazy. I just hate being up. Friday was the reason i was up. I went with a friend of mine to get her hair cut then we did alittle shopping well next thing we no it 8:00 and i have not had anything to eat. So we stop and get some pizza’s for us and the boys well by then i was starved so i ate three slices. I could not help it i was just so so hungry. After i ate i i just felt so bad and disgusted with myself for eating it. i guess live and learn thought.
So i think i am going to put some snacks in my car just in case i ever get into that situation again. Who would have thought one slice of pizza equals one pound. Thats sucks!!!

Have you seen these yet??? Holy Cow they are the best thing since sliced bread. Talk about give me some of that. I bought these today at Walmart they were a pretty resonable price seven bars for $2.65 they have 100 calories duh and 5 grams of fat for one cookie but i was highly impressed. My chocolate fix is now satisified.

Here lately after lunch for some reason i have a need for something sweet and not just anything i wont chocolate and i turn into the hulk if i dont have any. Well today i did ok with my WW but i really need to jump back on this wagon and ride it to the end and i find that i am having a really hard time doing it. I have not gained any weight but i also have not lost any either just stuck in the same old rut.

Yes i am still alive. Well i am at this weight now and my body really likes it and i am getting comtrouble in my skin. It just seems like no matter what bad foods i eat or good foods i eat i never gain or lose. Oh and i must say only in moderation with the bad food. I think i may be stuck in a rut and am having a bit of a hard time getting out of it. Well the bf is fixing to start training to be a firefighter so i think i am going to train with him. Whats better then running with someone instead of by my self oh and did i say safer. Thats right lady’s i am fixing to have my very own fireman bow chicka bow bow. LOL. I am super excited for him thought and i hope he does well.
I got the coolest thing for my birthday a friend of mine gave me a weight watchers cook book that included pictures of what the food is suppose to look like. I have not tryed it out yet but there are tons of stuff in there for everything you can imagine. Well hope you all have a wonderful week

And lots of it thats for sure. Well i weighed this weekend and boy was i sad and depressed. I am up five pounds thats right i said five pounds. How in the world could i gain five pounds overnight well i can tell you it the ice cream party i had with the girls, the birthday cake, the eating out and all the bad bad food that was there. I knew the minute i woke up this morning i was up i could just feel it. So today i am striving to be extra good and drink extra water. Oh i should have known better but it was just so much fun and oh so good. I am just so upset with my self for caving in to the sweet goodness of it all but hey i am only normal.
Friday night me a my friend Evelyn had this craving for something so we set out to walmart at 11:30 to see what me could find and boy did we find some stuff. First we bought a huge tub of neopolitan ice cream, some chocolate topping, cameral topping, peanut butter topping and some chocolate sprinkles. Well if that was not enought we also got some ice cream cones and bowls. Oh boy this did turn into a long night. Well to make ourselves not feel so bad we bought some LF Pretezel chips which was so good dipped in our spinach dip. So to say the least i am paying for my eating mistakes today. Sham Sham Sham Oh i updated my recipes a good taco soup and also my progression pics.

Thats right you read that right. Today is my birthday and i am very excited. I reflected today on the past year and last year this time i was fat and miserable. The bf is taking me out to eat at the nice resturant tonight and i bought myself this really cute skirt to wear with my boots. When i bought it i thought man last year i would have never worn anything like this. I am so proud of myself on what i have accomplished this year and i hope that next year i am 20lbs less then now.

So i went to the gym and it was so much fun but boy now i am really feeling it in my legs for sure. I hate this time of the year when everyone is at the gym i am ready for a few months to pass and the gym goes back to the way it was where there is always the same crowd who goes. I had the whole experience planned out i was going to start with the treadmill for 30 min then the eliciple for 20 min then the stationary bike or some other machine for the the remaining time i had left. Well first i had to beat around the bush for 20 min waiting for a tread mill to come free for me to use so i started with the eliciple machine and did 20 min then the treadmill was still taken so i did the stationary bike for 20 min and still they were taken so i did the step climber for 10 min and finally it became free but by then i had used all my time on stuff i really did not ever want to use all i wanted to use was the treadmill and no one would get off of it. Oh and to top it off i walked away from my stationary bike which was located right next to the treadmill for a min just to take a sip of some water and i was walking back and the lady got off, i thought finally then a stupid man ran to get it before i made it there. I really wanted to kick him but i thought for my gym membership sake i should not but boy was i pissed. So now my legs are so sore i think its because i messed up my routine. I know its a good sign because i was working on muscles that had not been worked on but i that did not matter to me at the time and i feel they are sore because i did not get a chance to warm them up on the treadmill like i usually do.

This weekend went really good friday we ate Mexican and i had chicken fagitas and did very lite with them. Oh and friday i was so proud of myself. I like to save as many points on the weekends for breakfast and lunch because i know we will be eating out that night so the other girls i work with who think my life style change is stupid was getting lunch from this really good and greesy hamburger joint well they were trying to convience me to eat there but instead i went for my taco soup that i had brought from the night before. Yea for me and my will power. Which was a good idea i decided against this because we had mexican. Saturday we ate at Applebee’s and i had the WW confetti Chicken which was yum o’. So all in all i have been giving myself a pat on the back(pat pat pat).
My birthday is coming up on the 14th and the bf bought me this really nice watch that has diamonds around the watch and down the band and the mother of pearl inside. Its really nice.
I think i am going to go to the gym tonight and do alittle work out. I hate going to the gym after the first of the year because most of the people there look so buff and there body’s are perfectly fit then here comes the fat girl and i feel like everyone is thinking ” well this should be interesting” Then when i am on the treadmill i feel like my fat looks like its fighting with each other under my shirt. Can you say bow chicka bow bow… Well i hope you all have a wonderful week.

Last night i made Taco Soup and it was so good. It has black beans in it and i thought well this is a great way to get them in. I weighed this morning and i am back to my pre christmas weight woo hoo. I did not think that i was going to make it through the day yesterday  being back on my normal eating routine at 4:00 yesterday i was starving to death. I guess that i am so use to being able to snack all day if i wont to especially during the holidays with all the goodies we have around and then being off from work and being at home with the goodies dident help either. Well today starts day two of the normal routine.

I have been thinking of getting a workout dvd and i wanted to see if anyone had any good suggestions on one? I think i might like a kick boxing one but i have never done it either and i dont wont to get one that i will use for a few days then stop or one that dosent even feel like i am working out. I want something fun, with music, that i can tell is working.

sorry if i am all over the place today with the post but hey im back thats all that counts.

Thats right i am finally back to my normal routine. I have five pounds that i have to lose to be back to my pre christmas weight which i miss so much. Five pounds you think well thats not that much well i can defiently tell and feel those five pounds and boy am i ready to say good bye to them.
I bought me this cool new little radio you strap to your arm when you walk yesterday to keep me company while i walk. I really wanted to get me an ipod or mp3 player but i get tired of having to put songs on there so i thought i would give this a try first and see how it goes.
Well i am finally back at work boo but hey i need this routine of eating back before i gain all the weight loss plus some. Well hope you all have a wonderful day.
