FALL BUCKET LIST AND OTHER SHIT!

WOWZA!!!!   So, its Fall Already.  When did that happen?

 

FALL happens to be my absolute FAVORITE time of year...love it, love it, love it.   Hence, why I say I'd love to move South, but never actually would.    As I sit writing my little blog this morning, drinking my coffe with my Pumpkin Spice Creamer, with my little fake fire-place going and my hubby and dogs all packed away in bed wrapped in a Woolwrich blanket.    Ahhhh FALL!!!!

 

So FALL in terms of my weight loss goals I'm supposed to be at 40 lbs!    Guess What?  Surprise...I'm not!   I'm at 36+ and Counting.......  Close....but I dont know if i'll make it by month end.  

 

Ok, so I love this little Fall Bucket List, but what on here am I really going to do?  

• Hay Ride?   Nope not that I know of!
• Decorate a Pumpkin?   Maybe....
• Make Fall Cookes?   Not this year
• PICNIC?   Done.   I did that 2 weekends ago it was chilly but lots of FUN.
• Go to a Pumpkin Patch?    Does the 7-11 on the corner converting into a Fall Get-A-Way count?.... Then YES Done.
• Trick or Treat?   YEPPPERS at work, we trick or treat from desk to desk, Gay??? You bettcha...but Oh so Fun
• Go on  a Date?     YEP!!!!  Planned already.  Hubby and I are are going to see Frankenweenie....  (we gots 2 weenie dogs, remember...Dugh???)
• DRINK FANCY COFFEE DRINKS?  Did Hell Freeze OVER????    That is an ABSOLUTE YES BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, WILL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN TODAY.
• Apple Picking?    In Ohio, when I was young Always a tradition along with pics in the Leaf Piles.   Maybe I can make this happen!   I'm heading home to mom and dad's next weekend.      I'm sure they would love this.

 

FALL BOOTS!!!!!   How about I bought some yesterday and they actually FIT MY PHAT LITTLE LEGGIES!!!!   I am totally stoked i'll tell you.    I tried them, and they actually FIT.    Did I mention that?    They look like this:

 

 

 

I'll take some Fall Pics in October and Post in my AFTER Section with these Sexy Ass Bad Boy Hooker Boots 4sure!

 

 

So, hubby is feeling fat now?   I'm loosing he is gaining.   The best way he describes it he feels like this:

 

 

Poor hubby Buns!    He is trying all kinds of diet guru prayers and changing what he is eating....I'll keep you posted of Buns success.   Maybe i'll do a weight ticker.    I got NO advice for him, so I'm keeping my trap shut!    He is like a women been scorned right now.   Very PMS about this subject.

 

 

DID I MENTION I BOUGHT HOOKER BOOTS?   Oh yea I guess I did.

 

Speaking of Hookers and Sexy Boots....I went Pole Dancing this past weekend!

It was alot of fun, but very hard.   I dont know if I recommend it or not?   You have to be really tiny, have incredible upper body strength and a tiney tiney tiney little ASS.   If this sounds like you...then sign Right Up!

I went round and round and round and then down, then up and it wasn't very sexy i'll tell you THAT 4SURE!

 

For those that are not interested in my new Life.

What Motivates You?

My personal trainer MARK posted this photo this week on his facebook page for clients as motivation.   

Instead of it being about food or commitment or exercise, it was something much more simple.   

What Motivates You?

Well beyond this picture just being overly cute, it really bothered me because I had no answer to that simple question.  

 

As I pondered this question for days this week, I came up with:   shopping, buying new smaller clothes and looking and feeling Great and Confident in my appearance at social gatherings and Work.

I am 100% certain that this world in 2012 is prejudice against overweight people and think less of them in terms of worth.   I am certain because I am one of the millions who are obese.    What have I settled for in life because I'm fat.  Does my internal mattra sing like the song from the 80's, don't worry...oh be happy your a phatty after all'.   

 

 

I broke down and went shopping this weekend for the first time in probably 10 months and bought some really cute things.   But the best purchase of all was some wonderful feeling totally Awesomified Panties.

These damn things cost $10 per pair or 3 for $30 as they advertise.   WHAT? ? ? 

Does my Ass that looks exactly like this need sexy, silky and the most awesomeness material I have ever felt in my life rubbing up against it in the form of Panties....?    

The answer is and was ..... HELL TO THE YES!   

I had a great shopping trip and it felt wonderful to reward myself with a few new things.   

Ok so back to my question, What Motivates You?    I'm still wondering if this is my real motivation or is there something more!

Is this an acceptable motivation factor or too shallow?    

What...I've still Got a Big ASS?

RANT ALERT!

I'm sure its not this Big, but its how I feel.

OK SO I MIGHT BE BEING HARD ON MYSELF...BUT YESTERDAY WAS OUR COMPANY PICNIC.  HUBBY WENT AROUND TAKING PICTURES ALL DAY, WHICH WAS NICE OF HIM.


TODAY, I LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND I'M LIKE WHO IS THE BLONDE WITH THE BIG ASS?

OH HELL TO THE NO THAT'S ME!!!!!

LORDY... LORDY I STILL HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO.     I CAN SEE MY WEIGHT HAS COME OFF MY FACE, WAIST, STOMACH...BUT IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, THE ASS IS HUGE!


THEN HUBBY SAYS:   "Well you have lost weight back there, I can assure you your ass was much bigger 4 months ago".


I AM GLAD TO HEAR THIS AND AT THE SAME TIME IT PISSES ME OFF.    


I'M ALL IN CAPS TODAY BECAUSE I AM MAD THAT I WOULD EVER LET MYSELF GET THIS BIG TO BEGIN WITH.   

3 Month Post Op with the Besties

I have a blog post pre-op from back in May right before my surgery.   I promised to post a picture with my girls several months later to see if there was a difference from the Photo Gallery named "the bitches".       




May 12th, 2012 Pre-Surgery

August 29th, 2012 3 months Post-Op



Overall I have lost 34.7 lbs and several inches from my neck, arms, waist, hips, legs and even calfs. 

HELP:   {i need to insert this on my Blog under STATS if anyone knows how to insert Excel Spreadsheet, please share the knowledge}.
 

WHAT UP PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!   I guess I'm in this.

I would consider the weight loss portion of my journey just about half way done.    I origianlly set out to loose 75 lbs and am not adjusting that goal for now.   

The Good 

Proops to me who has not missed a work-out and even recently added "boot-camp" on Saturday mornings to my routine.    That has been a real struggle because of the weather, its freaking hott at 10:30 am with the sun beating down on you.   That in itself is completely out of my comfort zone.   

The Bad

I need to be better with my food choices, I tend to eat what I want but a small portion.    This is working, but it is slow moving on the scale, and is not going to help me in the long run with maintenance.  

I MUST CHANGE MY TASTE BUDS....so this is my next written goal in this Journey.

I am going to try and eat healthy and work toward a well balanced plate of food.

The YUMMY

Try new things.   How about these!      WOWZA tried them and LOVE.    Highly recommend my new favorite lunch.
