Because she SAID so...Friday fun

I'm reposting this and having fun - play along won't you!!  Thank you Me, Drazil, & Sheniqua

1. If you could be a weather forecast, what would you be and why?


sunny - yup.  Boring, but warm and makes most people happy.  that sums it up.  (Calling my therapist now...)

2. If you could be a crayon, what color would you be and why?

Not sure - but it would have some funky all out there name...like Lunar - something that someone thought up and it sounded good and now they're slapping their forehead going "what the HELL was I thinking?!?"

3. What is/was your biggest physical goal you want to do when you hit your goal weight?

I really want to finish a half ironman.  Really really.  I've done sprint triathalons and I've done a half marathon, and I know that if I put my mind to it, next summer, I COULD compete in a half ironman. 

4. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?

A cat.  Even though I don't particularly LIKE them...they have a life of luxury!! Lay in sunbeams being their primary goal.

5. Just because I’m new to some followers and I’m curious – let’s do a put it out there in black and white stat question.



What was your highest weight? 310

What is your weight now? 212.4
What is your goal weight if you have one? 150 (subject to review!)

What is your goal size if you have one? I would love to fit in a size 8 - any size 8, just grabbing a single digit size off the rack and knowing it fits....

What diet/program/tool do you follow/have if any? I count calories – 1200 a day is my goal

How did you lose the weight current to today? Gastric bypass 9 years ago - now calorie counting and 12 step program

6. What’s your best advice for people in this weight loss journey?

find what works for you.  Low carb?  Raw food?  whole food?  Nutri system, jenny craig, weight watcher, richard simmons, wii fit - whatever works FOR YOU.  You know your body - and if you don't educate yourself.  Make small goals, and keep moving forward.  There will be set backs.  Keep looking forward.  Find friends who will support and encourage you.  Deal with the demons that got you there - banish them - replace them with healthy positive thoughts and the actions will follow. 


7. Have you ever shaved your whootananny?

Answering!!  Yes.  and waxed.  Prefer waxing.  By  large margin.

Time to come clean - and start blogging again with NEWS!

I've been avoiding the blogging world - for a couple reasons.  My eating has been horrible.  Well, maybe not horrible but definately not brag-worthy or blog-worthy.  I've been embarassed at how much I've regressed back into old eating habits. The other reason is I've been keeping a secret but it's time to come clean.  I've been gaining weight - only a little - and with my doctor's full permission.  As of today, I'm 16weeks 4 days pregnant, and this one's here to stay!  I'm excited.  And nervous. And sick as a dog with morning sickness.  I've used all of the above as an excuse to jump off the wagon (and load it with junk food to drag around with me all day).  I've had chips and candy and sugar - and not in small quantities.  I now weight 205.  Up from 190.  But holding steady and fully aware of the changes I need to make - again. Mostly my problem is that I have morning sickness 24 hours a day.  It's like really bad mot...

8k Race report - the details!

As a "big girl" the first thing I look for is how many runners there are as big or bigger than me. It's just what I do. At a 5k, there are usually a number of women bigger than me and many my size. Today that wasn't the case. Apparently adding 3k eliminates a lot of plus size runners. I did not see anyone my size. My husband told me there were a few other big girls running - but I didn’t' see them. Talk about a head trip - I was really nervous! The announcer released my group and we're off! Less than a quarter mile in, I realized that I may not have thought this race all the way through. Let me just mention, I'm scared of heights. I used to be terrified of heights - now I'm just scared. I mostly do fine with them but bridges still can bring on a panic attack for me. The name of this race: Beat the Bridge. Um. Like I said, I may have overlooked part of the planning this race out. So less than a quarter mile from the start, there's a bridge - n...

coming out of my slump - and a new puppy!

I've been in a slump - blog silence on my end usually means just that.  I've been struggling to keep up my healthy eating and I haven't been working out.  My weight has stayed the same but that's NOT my goal in this journey.  I'm hanging out at 191 still - so close to 180's.  But I'm really mentally struggling.  It's been cold.  I've been exhausted.  I haven't felt 100% well.  I've got a million other excuses.  I've spent 42 years making excuses.  I'm a freaking Excuse Expert.  I'm signed up for a 5k on 12/12 - so I'd better get my butt in gear.  I'm contemplating a 1/2 marathon in April - I'd better get my butt in gear.  I've lost 49 pounds and have 41 more to go - I'd better get my butt in gear. If only it were as easy to DO as it were to say.  I've cheated on my abstinence foods - sugar AND candy.  Still no chips - as if there's solace in that.  But today's a new day and Day 1 again.  And to...
