10lbs Gone. Now the Next Step....

Peace

I’m checking in on this weight loss thing. I lost 10 of the evil 20lbs. I called those 20lbs evil because they are 20lb over not my ideal weight, but the weight I generally tend to be. I’m not proud of the 10lb loss because (a) I’m certain that a lot of that was cycle weight and (b) I’m old school with this diet thing. I know that the 1st week usually sports a great deal of weight loss that you won’t see again.

The southeast also had an incredibly nice weekend full of warm weather and sunny skies. I took advantage of it and got out into creation! The God and I went for a walk on Saturday on a walking trail. We logged 2 miles on said trail. And yesterday we went hiking. It was mad cool, but I had to be pushed. I ain’t shamed to say it kicked my ass. I’m out of shape. That is completely clear to me. But I have plans….

I was building with the God and I mentioned that I was interested in doing the P90x home workout plan. Being the good God that he is, he got it for me. Peace to the God!!!! I realize from other folks that this workout will kick my ass. I am well aware of that. But I am committed to see it to the end. I’m starting tomorrow. I will be done in 90 days. My last work out should be May 2, 2011. Supposedly P90x is supposed to make you ripped. I’m thinking that won’t happen for me. There is too much flesh on me to get “ripped”. But P90x + raw food should make me look different. When I go to S&P this year, I have the determined idea combined with the expectation of incredible flyness.

It has struck me how quickly one can go from fit to unfit. It takes NO TIME. Last summer I was walking, doing yoga, and weight training. At the end of last May, I was so clean I could walk 3 miles in 20 minutes and people were looking at me with their mouths open. In less than half a year I went from that to slob. So this time, I plan to be more ‘bout it when it comes to the maintenance. No wonder Weight Watchers put you on maintenance for a minute after you lost weight. Not that I ever made it that far. The goal was to lose 60lbs by January 2012, and then another 20-25lb by the apocalypse. If the world is going to end I plan to meet the end in style! LOLOLOLOL. J/K!!!!!!


Peace!

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
