Nothing much going on...

Hello,

This has been an interesting week.  Full of surprises, proud moments, disappointments, and anxiety.  As much as I have enjoyed living in California I still want to just go back to the East Coast (Atlanta, to be specific!!) and enjoy my former luxuries.  It seemed like I had more money and more people to enjoy my time with.  But now I just have a lot of time, no money, not as many friends, and sadly not as much ambition... : (

But in the same breath I must realize that nothing in this life worth living for comes easy.  If I were in Atlanta right now I would be happy but I would wonder what it would be like to be in L.A. pursuing my acting career.  I love entertaining.... it is what I was born to do outside of being in love, loving others, and becoming a mother.  I am sure that there are plenty of other things that I have to look forward to discovering  in my lifetime... but the truth is I have not auditioned in months.  I have all these desires but I stand in my own way.  I want to be successful but having money to take care of the essentials is important too and right now I can't do that and it saddens me. I can barely make ends meet.  I know that I am blessed and that I have way more things to be happy for than to be upset about but it is a trying battle sometimes.  How do I pursue my goals if I can barely take care of myself?  When and how will I find my way?  

This diet has been a mini journey that I hope will take me on another journey... to something bigger and better.  But I wonder what are those bigger and better things ahead of me.... I guess only time will tell...

Until next time... keep striving for higher goals.  You will find your way and so will I

Just another day...

So,

I finally went to boot camp yesterday!!!  I was in good enough shape to make it through class without sneezing all over the place.  Unfortunately, I do not think this is a week that I will see a lot of progress because I may have hit a small plateau.  But don't count me out....I still have so much to give.   

We shall see what happens but today boot camp was cancelled so I am just relaxing until work starts... hopefully I will make some good money!!!  Because there are always bills, bills, and more bills!!!!

Anyhoo.... have a great day... Ciao!!

Here We Go... to Measurement Time!




I woke up feeling miserable.  My head is aching. My throat is sore. My nose is stuffy.  Which all equals BLAH!!  I just wanna stay in the bed all day but I can not do that.  This is coming up on 14 days and I am still hanging in there!   I know my measurements will not be as large as last week but I am looking forward to seeing what progress I made...

Neck - 14 1/2" 
Shoulders - 44 3/4"
Bust - 39 3/4"
Waist - 36"
R. Bicep - 12 3/4"
L. Bicep - 12 1/2"
Hips - 45 1/2"
R. Thigh - 29"
L. Thigh - 28 1/2"
R. Calf - 16"
L. Calf - 16 1/2"

SO that is the results... and for this week I lost 3 1/2 inches and overall I lost 11 inches!!  The journey is not over yet though so let's enjoy what is ahead!  Maybe I will drop a jean size by the end of the month!! 

Hope your day is wonderful...

Another weekend bites the dust..

Well...

I have gotten through another weekend unscathed!!  I did not cheat and...I enjoyed myself.  Over the weekend I gave Domino's try...Just imagine..thin crust, tomato sauce, garlic, and spinach  There was not much to it... but it was good!  This diet is so limited but it is forcing me to find ways to enjoy myself...

So, I've been thinking, if this diet keeps going well... I may extend it!!!!  Although, I must confess, I will need at least a week to fulfill that void.  No worries, I will not go too crazy!!  Just a few little indulgences.  Then I will begin a new adventure and extend the diet to THANKSGIVING!!!  Trying to get to my dream size (whispering...8)!  Thanks for reading and for your support...

PEACE...
