On a mission to live a healthy, happy, life and lose 100 lbs along the way!

This weekend was the weekend of gluttony with food and money. I over spent on my calorie allowance as well as my budget allowance. They pretty much went hand in hand. I decided to get my hair cut and once I got there my stylist convinced me to get highlights and then buy some styling products that were $24/each. I left two hours later and over $200 poorer. Stupid Ulta. Although my hair does look fabulous. Anyway, then I promised my roomate that we were going to get pedicures together and I would pay. I was trying to do something nice for my roommate but it was not very nice for my bank account. Why do I always do tha?  Put myself in a tight spot just to seem charitable or nice. I need to learn to say no to myself. Well the stress of my over spending was starting to cause anxiety. Especially since I haven't balanced my checkbook yet. I don't know want to know what the damage is but not knowing causes me to stress. And what do fat people do when they stress children? That's ...

This week has been crazy at work with 2 training clinic going on. I hate it when it doubles up because I barely have time to breath or update my facebook. On top of this it's been very gloomy, gray and cold outside. The weather is depressing. I wonder if I have one of those disorders that makes you depressed when you don't get enough sun. I'm totally feigning for some sun. I want to gobble it up. I should google that illness because seriously I have been in a pissy mood all week. So for the past two weeks I have been eating between 1500-1600 calories and have been working out 4-5 days per week. Both weeks I lost 1.4 lbs. I know I should be elated that I'm losing weight but I'm not. I've lost twice as much eating almost 2,000 calories per day and walking a mile 3 times a week. I've literally shaved off another 500 calories and am working out way more, usually 45-1hr. I've been lifting weights, jogging around the track, walking on the treadmill and using ...

Wow, I totally forgot about this blog. It's been about a year and a half since I last posted and a lot has happened. Anyway, I think I was meant to find my blog again. I've been feeling pretty crappy this week. Down, sad, angry and eating way more than I have been in a long time. I wasn't sure how to get out of my funk and then this came along. Writing my feelings and frustrations down always helps. I plan to blog on here again. I want to update it daily or at least weekly basis. I plan to give you my thought on weight loss, what I eat, what I exercise and general life musings of this chubby 30 year old. What has happened to date (from what I can remember with my almost none existent long term memory): #1: My mom passed away last July (2008) of diabetes related complications. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. Not a single day. RIP Mommy, I love you! #2: I got laid off from my job last June (2008). I was unemployed for 2 months. Finally, I found anoth...
