A few more pics to round out the weekend

These are the pills I take for energy, ie. my caffeine pills. They say they are a dietary supplement, all natural, just w/ added caffeine. They help me concentrate, make me not physically hungry, and not draggin' butt tired. According to Amy, I will probably be able to quit these when I get on a B12 supplement. I've taken these on/off since 2003. Started them when I was delivering papers at midnight everynight to stay awake while I threw my route.
A pic of me and my cousin at her daughter's party today! I swear I only shopped my side off b/c I had a little pit ring and, ok ok my arm looked super fat! If I would've seen this pic when it was taken I would've just posed w/ my arm differently, but I didn't notice until I got home today. I felt super cute and girly in the dress and I think it went well w/ my gold sandals! YOu can see she's a shorty (4'11) and I'm lowering my head to pose w/ her which makes me look ackward. she needs to grow! haha!

I'm not really smiling here but I love love love this top! It's so frilly and flirting and navy has always been a good color for my complection. I had my arm on the arm rest that's why it looks like my collar bone is sticking out. Can't wait until it naturally does.


An example of the meals I prepared last weekend for this past week.



A newer top from Old navy that I loveee! Pretty simple blue w/ ruffley loose sleeves, embroidering around the collar. I like this shade of blue on me as well!




I guess I added this pic to show you how I SWEAR the end of my nose swells when I'm on my (.) I don't know why. I'm not daydreaming though b/c my mom has even noticed. This only happens when I'm on BC. Darn it!

    I love pics!
    Curious about the kind of food you prepare ahead though. Looks like you know what you doing and have some good ideas!

    Blue is definitely your colour.

    But so is royal purple. That dress with the gold sandals was really perfect on you!

    I have batwings, too. SO I totally understand. My inner thighs look like batwings, too!!

    What kind of multivitamin are you taking? I was crushing up a women's vitamin for women looking to get pg. It is GIANT and with all the crushing I am not taking it as often as I should (read: I am LAZY!!!). I'm looking to see what other bandsters use?

    lele- I mostly did chicken tenderloins last weekend. I would put 2-3 to a container. I cooked them in bbq sauce, spices, italian spices and/or a lemon/pepper marinade i bought. I cooked them all diff ways to have a variety!

    Brooke- I did a blog a mth or so ago about the vitamin. The one I take is "One a day women's Active" and it's is a reg vitamin formulated for woman but has 120mg of a caffeine/herb blend to give you more energy.

    For pre-pregnancy I'd make sure to add the folic acid, iron, and fish oil. Fish oil before/during pregnancy has been linked to children having a higher IQ in life. It is also a good mood stabilizer, it has the same effect as an antidepressant. Tastes bad though so you just have to experiment w/ which one you like. why crush? I take mine whole and I haven't had a problem yet. Will I not be able to do that once I'm at the sweet spot?

    Do you see your collar bones in those pictures? NICE! I dont think I have any. I hear you about the arms. This weekend I saw mine with some bad lighting and I almost didnt want to leave the house. :(

    I dont think the b-12's will give you the same amount of energy you get from the caffenine. Esp if you have been taken those things for so long! But they might help some.

    Love your clothes! I've gotta go to Old Navy. Waiting to drop maybe 10 pounds more then I'm going to get me some cute tops. Right now I hate everything I'm wearing which is not good for the self-esteem!

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
