the Incredible Shrinking Woman

For the past 5 months I've been taking the steps to shed some unwanted weight. In March I got a rude awakening at the doctor's office that sent me into a hyperventilating hysterical fit. But, once I received the news I vowed to make a difference in my life.

In June, after 3 months of self pity and wallowing in my new found plumpness. I started to take the measures to lose the weight. I started by curbing my appetite. I like food. Always have and always will. So, I knew I couldn't do the Lohan-Richie plan. I'm a healthy eater so I knew I wasn't eating the wrong things. The culprit was my ravishing appetite.

Now, I'm happy to say I am 40lbs lighter and smiling from ear to ear. After a family event last night left me reeling from all the great compliments, I can finally see the difference.

25 is of to a great start and I can't wait to see how it's going to end. Hopefully I'll reach my weight goal of losing my last 35lbs.

I'll keep you guys posted. :)

WWYD??

Say you found out that the car you are driving does not have insurance. What you thought you were paying wasn't actually what you were paying. The monthly payments were actually going to something non beneficial to you. What would you do?

I found out last night that my car insurance was canceled for non payment. I have been paying on car insurance monthly to find out I dont have any! The back story as quick as possible...

$80 monthly payment for 8 months + my cousin with a low insurance policy = SWINDLED

Whoever said "Family comes first." Definitely needs a KICK IN THE MOUTH! I'll finish up later...late for class

Feels Like Home...

I just finished painting my living room! It was a labor of love, but its done. Pictures are coming soon.

Next task: Bathroom.

I'll save my bedroom for last. I still got to think about it. I'm so excited. I love creative projects. Once it's done a feeling of completeness takes over and I get all giddy. I love the feeling of satisfaction. Once all my ducks are in line and every room is designed and fixed...I'll have a housewarming. Hopefully end of this month or or the beginning of the new year. With all the holidays coming up, I got to spread the projects out.

The apt is growing on me. Add some paint and decorations, the hood don't look too bad :)

Word of the day: ADAPTATION

Until next time...

Solid as BARACK!

This skit in SNL sums it all up for me and many other Americans. I think Barack should use this song as a staple in his campaign and when he wins the Presidential Elections.

Just like they say in the song..."Solid as Barack. That's what this lead is...That's what we GOT GOT GOT GOT!"

GO OBAMA ~ BIDEN 2008!

Feelings of a FOOL

Feelings. Where do I begin?

You know the urge you get when you know it's wrong, but you can't help but do it anyway? Then you ask yourself "Why?" Well...I'll tell you why? It's those damn feelings! Aagh!

I've been fighting with my feelings for 2 weeks now. Feelings of love and hurt. I grew to love him over a 2 year span and within one day he made that all go away. Now, the love I grew to accept and fight for turned into hurt and pain.

"I was with her for the last night years."

For 2 weeks, I went back and forth between feelings. One day it was easy to hate him and want to inflict pain, but the next day something would remind me of him and love would rush over me like a euphoric wave. This caused me to hurt even more the next day.

"You were right. I lied. I went on vacation with her not my friends."

I replay the conversation between him and I that has placed me in a cocoon of hurt, anger, and sadness. Call me a sadist, but for some reason it helps me. As tell goes on the pain subsides and it's replaced with complacency. It's like I'm stuck in a funk and I want out, but my hurt is overwhelming.

"I didn't meant to hurt you. I care for you more than you know."

Two weeks of no communication. I changed my number and cut my ties. I was doing good. Then he found a way to get a hold of me. WHY? I was doing so good. Since I see myself as a strong person, I figured a one change meeting wouldn't hurt. Boy, was I wrong. It hurt...it hurt so bad. How could I be so stupid? I knew better. I knew it didn't matter how strong I was. He always made me weak for him. I guess at the end of the day my love for him is stronger than my hurt and pain spawned by the situation. With this conclusion, I have to realize that the urges to do wrong with him are enforced by feelings...feelings of a fool.

I'll keep you posted...

Passing Time...

Life is way to short. I feel like I'm behind the curve. Things I wanted to accomplish by a certain age, has not been completed. I'm just starting the process of getting my masters degree, and most of my peers have already completed them. I know you can't compare your life to others, but I can observe, right? My observation has brought to my attention that I need to take the molasses out my ass! Things need to be accomplished. So, I'm making a list. This should be interesting.

Stay tuned...
