Lifestyle Change

So who else has made the commitment to lose weight this year? I know, it's kind of a boring topic, but I know I'm not the only one! I have declared 2008 to be all about me (I'm pretty sure 2007 turned out that way too, but I didn't necessarily make the concious decision for it to be that way!!)...and I'm not doing this to be selfish, but it's high time that I put taking care of myself at the top of the list!

So by taking care of myself, weight loss needs to be my top priority...it just HAS to be! I'm not enormous...but I'm not that stick-thin hot body that I want to be either!! And let's be honest, do we really think that Kenny will settle for anyone who's just mediocre looking? Just kidding, this really is about ME. So I've made a lot of changes in my eating habits, and to my surprise, it hasn't been that hard. Maybe it's because I'm finally in the mind set of being healthy, maybe I'm just REALLY ready to shed some pounds this time...don't really know, but I do know that I'm on a mission and that Lean Cuisine's have become by new BFF! If you guys haven't tried them, I HIGHLY recommend them. I pretty much live off of Lean Cuisine...lunch and dinner every single day...add in some extra fruits, veggies, yogurt, reduced fat Wheat Thins, cereal, and a whole lot of water, and there you have it, that is my whole diet. And I'm back to the gym...I go for an hour EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Go me!!

I've been sticking to the "lifestyle change" religiously, but the only frustrating thing is that I don't see results sooner. I'm on the right path and I'm losing weight...but dang, I can't wait to put on my pants and have them be too big, ya know? I don't mind so much that it takes a while to chip away at the actual number of my weight, I just want to see/feel some results already. I guess 10 days isn't much, but I WILL get there by this Summer, no doubt! Miss Cupcake and I have a date at Abercrombie & Fitch when she gets home!! I've lost 3 pounds and counting...my next weigh in is Saturday...I'll let you know how it goes! And no, I'm not going to actually reveal my weight to y'all, we'll just stick with the # of puonds lost!!

So who else is on a "lifestyle change" mission? Leave me your stories in the comments and good luck! And don't forget to check out Lauren's blog to see her progress too!

Knock Knock, Is Anybody Home?

HI!! Do I have any readers left out there in the WWW? I'm SO sorry that I've been neglecting my poor little blog the last couple of months, but I'M BACK! I've been busy...yeah, you know how that goes, right? It's crazy...I just haven't had ANY motivation for the blog but those days are behind us because I'm here now, and that's all that really matters, right?

Um, can we talk about Britney for a second...cause seriously, what is going on with that poor girl? I know, I know, everyone is so sick of Britney and who really cares anyway, but I care! I'm a total People.com junkie and let's not leave out TMZ, and last but not least, as Lauren puts it, Perez knows EVERYTHING!! So let's all hope that Britney gets some help...cause she is on my iPod and as I was jamming out to her last night, I was very reminiscent of her better days...member when she danced on the pier with her great moves, and she was so cute, and OMG I wish my stomach was that flat! Ok, so you get the picture...I'm definitely on Team Britney!

And speaking of flat stomachs...I've joined the 45648975315489 other people in the world who has vowed to lose the extra weight for the New Year. And I know it's only the 7th, but I'm doing SOOOO good. I'm keeping a food journal, I'm limiting my calories A LOT, and I'm busting it at the gym for an hour EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Go me! I actually started a couple of days before the New Year so I had my first weigh in the other day...did someone say GO ME??!!...yep, I lost 3 pounds in my first week! I know that's ambitious and that you're only supposed to lose 1-2 pounds per week, but whatever...I LOST THREE POUNDS!!! Now only 10 more weeks of that and I'll treat myself to a big dinner of Chinese take-out...HA...just kidding! You better believe when Kenny season comes around, I'll be looking better than ever!! My friend Lauren is joining me on the diet & exercise bandwagon and she even started a blog about it...too cute...you must check it out. And she just started it, so check back often because she's going to update it all the time...like me!

Oh and yes, I said Kenny...surely you've all missed him! There's been lots of fun stuff going on with me...nothing major...just lots of fun little things and I'll update you in the next few days. I don't want to bore you all with one big long post tonight. But I'm back, I promise...and I hope my readers will come back too!
