Thousand Word Thursday

This week's topic is:
Your favorite place where you live (your house, your town, whatever you choose to define as "where you live") - the place where you relax, recenter, regroup. Show us and tell us why it's YOUR place!


My "place" that I'd like to celebrate is PHOENIX, AZ!!! I love PHoenix. I moved out here from a teeny tiny town in Arkansas 10 years ago. I've left a few times, trying to "find my place in this world" and something about the mystical desert always pulls me back! This is a perfect place for my love of photography, always provides a beautiful back drop, and magnificent colors! These are just a few of my favorite pictures of the PHoenix.












Just had to add this one b/c I think it's hilare! ;) Good day mates!

Oh P.S. I did run 2.5 miles yesterday and it felt super good! Then spent 6 hrs doing Anatomy HW and studying :S And NOW, I'm about to go for a run again! I've got that damn goal I'm working on. Currently at 208 as of yesterday...time to get to 195!!! OH AND I have always been bigger than my mom, since I was about 12. Serious! So last night since I've been celebrating my new 14s Jeans DAILY, she told me to try on her Levi 14s and see if they fit cuz they are a little loose on her. I thought she was crazy b/c they didn't look THAT loose on her but and I did and DAMNIT TO HELL they fit!!!!! Holy cow!!! It's so hard to believe. My mom is technically a size 12 now so soon, hard to imagine I could actually be smaller than my mom. I don't see it. I think it's time for another photoshoot WITH my mom so I can see if I SEE the difference like everyone else in the fam does!

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...
