rest and shakira

I had a nice day of rest it was literally 1 degree outside so I wasn't going anywhere I didn't have to. I made a trek to get crickets and froze my ass so going al the way across town to the gym was out! I did do some stretching and hot nude yoga so it wasn't a total bust.
I ate:
Caesar salad (2)
bbq skins
chicken salad
hot dog
boiled egg
string cheese
I really wasn't too hungry so I didn't eat that much. I'm still in ketosis so I'm happy with my progress this week.
hows this for inspiration she turns 60 feb 2nd! WOW!

and this last one la tortura is the sexiest video I've EVER seen!

a new group and bee gees

hey y'all I decided I needed an active group of people and lots of folks to motivate me and that I may motivate so I started a facebook page for health/weight-loss it's called  FAT TO FIT and fabulous!
https://www.facebook.com/fattofitandfabulous so drop on by and send everyone SERIOUS my way. I used to belong to a group and they frustrated me to no end. they were always talking about how they wanted/needed/had to lose weight but out of 30+ folks 4 usually participated. I don't wont that and I'm not gonna tolerate it. I know it's everyones own journey but I'm not gonna waste my time bein a cheerleader for a bench-warmer! if that's judgemental oh well I say it CLEARLY in the group description. I love the blog but it really is a once a day thing and I sometimes just have little ns victories or insights I'd like to share more consistently. and yeah like I have time to add to my plate (as long as it non-caloric what the hell! lol)
for some reason the biggest loser lost me early on this season. I couldn't stand ruben (still cant) and I just stopped watching after faithfully watching since season 1. well today with my new fired goals and drive I decided to multi=task while doing other projects and I have been catching up it's better than I thought and Bob came out FINALLY, I KNEW he was on my team! now if he'd just shave he's too damn pretty for the beard and that 70s stache is driving me nuts! lmao
this is one of my fave pictures of mwah......................

and this is todays eye-candy, fat free delisciousness! YUMMY!

lets see oh yeah I got 13,126 steps (I keep forgetting to post this)
I ate:
chicken Caesar salad
bbq skins
hot dog
hamburger
chicken salad
peanut butter (1tsp)
scrambled eggs
beef hot dog
my water consumption has been off this week I only got 16oz but I drank 2 1/2 quarts of crystal light tea.

whew and the B52s

whew that was close I dodged a bullet yesterday and I KNOW it! but this aint horse-shoes so close doesn't count I stayed on plan and that's that! I am still in deepest ketosis and feelin pretty gosh darn good today.my eating has been filling and more important fulfilling I really do enjoy the low carb life. I ate.............
Caesar salad with tuna
chicken salad
bbq skins
ham and cheese
bologna and cheese
Caesar salad
it seems repetitious and not too varied but I like it like that I always tend to eat a very narrow palate no matter how I eat..............
I do want chicken wings though I haven't had real wings since I moved here ( 8 years ago) thinking of trying buffalo wild wings but I have to check on their sauces, cause most buffalo sauce is sugar free so it's allowed.
gonna try this we shall see...............................

the blues and cyn

I woke up this morning and really just wanted to stay in bed and I'm off so I could have but as I lay there it dawned on me I just felt blah and I REFUSE to let those wintertime blues settle into a depression that could unrail me. I'm gonna say anytime you feel depression trying to take hold do something, anything rather than let it. so I got my ass up I shaved and showered (being unkempt is a sure sign of depression) I even conditioned my hair got dressed and went out into the living room o be around other people. I decided to catch up on some of my shows so I grabbed those bootstraps HARD and I did something about it and felt better and lighter. it's a combination of things, my health has always been good and these petty issues I've had are driving me crazy, financially I'm almost there but it's been a process, trying to get the tarot to be a moneymaker hasn't panned out because I'm only doin it at a shop. I need to either do it online or over the phone and neither appeals to me, then there's this blasted cold that I HATE. I grew up with cold like this but I was in sunny florida for 16 years and I LOVED it, I also have a tooth that needs pulled/fixed and while I have insurance I also have a big deductible and I still owe for the ER visit for my eye so I'm chewing on one side of my mouth and dealing with it for the time being , plus the backhanded unfriending I got from the "lady" I thought was a friend.now none of these on their own is a big deal but I guess    I oppsed and was
letting the stress accumulate and it snuck up on me. I don't really talk to anybody about all of this (my choice) so I guess today I'm venting so I can just let it out, acknowledge it and move on from here.
there's tons of GREAT things going on Feb 2nd the tarot talk is back and i'll be cohosting again
I'm also participating in two pay it forward groups which I'm looking so forward to and I'm in the planning stages of a vaca for my birthday at the end of may............and the 2 pounds I lost!
plus the guy I cant stand got voted off of top chef! lmao
this journey really is about staying motivated and just putting that one foot in front of the other every day, I'm very happy that I not only recognized the problem but that I took action and didn't let it take over. now I NEED to see/post some happy happy joy joy stuff!!!!

cant go wrong with giraffe kisses! xoxoxoxo

lmao












and speaking of Wonder Woman this is gale gardot the new WW in the batman vs superman movie. I have high hopes they don't muck it up!

little to no patince and meagan mullally

well we all kno I have little to no patience so I decided to pitch the box springs and put the mattress on the floor to se  if that helped and it did I slept better. however (don't you HATE the howevers) now I have an occasional shooting pain in my side. I'm hoping I just strained something because another dr visit is NOT on my agenda!
otherwise pretty good/slow night and no other worries I'm off for 2 days and I sure do need it, hopefully I catch up on some r-n-r .
I am totally digging the way I'm eating ......
salmon steak
shrimp salad
bbq skins
Caesar salad with bacon bits
bologna
chicken salad
I'm TRYING to now shift away from beef and focus on seafood/chicken as my mainstays and I KNOW I wont have any before wed because I'm not gonna go shopping before then. my water consumption has been off for the last couple of days though still drinking tons of crystal light.
the cold is making my joints achy so I've been taking ibuprophen  which I don't like to do but is sometimes necessary, I need to get some white willow bark (natural asprin) and a couple of other herbs.
just for inspiration it's theo rossi aka juice my fave character on sons of anarchy!

WEIGH DAY AND ELVIS

well lets just lay it out there I'm at 214 which is actually down 2 pounds (I had dropped to 211 when sick but went right back to 216 as soon as I was able to eat) so I'm pretty happy with that. my issue has been headaches this week I almost NEVER get a headache I think it's a combo of too much time online/playing games and my bed being shot. I'm not getting restful sleep. when I get my taxes back a bed is the first order of business but alas til then I just have to suck it up.
I've paid off the eye dr and I just owe $250 to the emergency room then I can start my upgrades. I also need a new tv I'm watching a 16 inch tv/dvd combo right now. plus I want a gaming chair and several dvd sets. yep yep yep timmy has a wish list I do I do I do! lolol
 
 
I think I'm gonna try out for Americas next top model I got the duck face and the smize down pat!

a good day and ann margret

good morning y'all hope everyone had a great nights sleep I did (kinda) once again I have forgone the bed and slept on the floor it was just easier and I was too sleepy to make the move across the room. lolol of course I should have been awake overnight cause now I wont wanna sleep today and I have to work at 10pm.
this has nothing to do with me but so totally bums me out you just don't know............the captain and tenille are divorcing after 40 years together. apparently it's her idea and he doesn't know why, but they're still in the same house??? I thought love would keep them together, I mean they're in their 70s.
and of course they sing one of my all time favorite love songs that I find uber  romantic/sexy.
oh well I wish them both well and hope they're happy whatever road they follow.
back to me lol I ate well yesterday............
Caesar salad with bacon bits
chicken breast
hamburger
hot dogs
spam (bacon flavor) fried (the only way I can eat spam!)
bbq skins
a spoonful of peanut butter (my treat/snack)

AND IT IS TOO, I LOVE TO DANCE OUTSIDE TO THE SOUNDS OF NATURE...............NOT SO SURE ABOUT MY NEIGHBORS, BUT THEY DO LEAVE ME ALONE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

PAY IT FORWARD AND MELANIE

havin a good day and had a good night. and I am in KETOSIS the highest level WOO HOO! for those not used to the low carb wars ketosis is when your body has switched over to burning fat for fuel instead of food basically. I need to find an accurate scale and weigh in a day or two just to see where I'm at.
feelin pretty good mentally too, and irritated but not dwelling on why I let someone bother me at all (it didn't much except I hate being accused of being disrespectful, I'm a lot of things, brash, abrupt, disconcerting, but disrespectful aint one of em!) even if for only a moment.
it was a SLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOW night at work and I got so sleepy and then I came home and BOING wide awake. lololol cest le vie!
gonna have to go get my book today, lost lake by sarah Addison allen she's fabulous and writes these lovely charming magical southern novels. this will be her 5th book. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want to have a BIG ole smile on your face and in your heart when you're done.
I've become involved in 2 wonderful projects, one is on fb it's a gift thingy where the first five people to respond to my post get a gift from me of whatever (book, card, drawing, candy, etc etc) at a random time during the next year. then you're supposed to copy and paste it to pay it forward from your page. such a lovely idea.
the other is in a group I belong to we're (14 of us) each going to send a journal page we decorate , paint, prose, decoupage, sketch, etc etc with that person in mind to every person in the group that way you can simply put it in your journal and everyone will have 14 personal magical pages to start their journal. people from all over the world are in the group and they're all artists and such so I'm so looking forward to getting and receiving these.
I went to the grocery this morning and brought a list I did not deviate not even one item I have food on plan for the entire week. so no surprises for me, the better control I keep the better i'll do sticking to my plan and meeting my goals.
I ate.................
chicken Caesar salad
string cheese (1)
bbq skins
beef hot dog (2)
hamburger (2)
chicken salad
pickle
and I was completely satisfied and not missing the carbs at all!

LOLOL appropriate with the weather we're having!

snow day and bette

well I'm not sure what the total accumulation was but we'd had about 4 inches at 4pm so I called out of work and got myself a snow day! I didn't do anything got into couch potato mode and started watching discover ID next thing I know I'm asleep half on my bean bag half on the floor and I've got the crick in my neck and arm to prove it. lol
enjoying my low carb eating but my portions are way too big, now on atkins that doesn't matter so much as long as I'm under on the carbs and I am but i'll get the portions there too in a couple of days. I'd rather eat too much of a good allowed thing than eat crap that's gonna derail me.
I had............
hamburger
beef hot dogs
chicken salad
bbq skins
boiled eggs
was out of salad fixings and with the snow a trip to the grocery was out of the question. I'm actually proud of myself for not binging and going off plan not gonna go into details but I was betrayed/attacked by someone I've done nothing to and when I tried to be the bigger person was told I'm self absorbed and disrespectful to others. WTF, now i'll tell you that hurt my feelings for about 2 seconds then I got ANGRY and my first instinct was to cuss em out ion ways they've never heard of but I did not and shall not do that. I cant control other peoples actions but I can and did control my reaction! I didn't let it cause me to binge or let in ruin my night I'm gonna let it go and let God. I did block them since they has no right to see my actions online and honestly doesn't deserve to see them as far as I'm concerned. enough of this dribble onto more fun/useful stuff! lol
a friend sent me this and I LOVE it! so much so it's my wallpaper on fb now.
it so fit the situation and just makes me giggle when I see it! I was also reminded to pay attention to my life philosophy and NOT let silly petty bullshit bother me. so here's that in case I never shared it before it's the best quote I ever heard by the late GREAT uber stylish Coco Chanel
I also saw this and just had to share it because it speaks to the beauty that is all of us! (I'm so enjoying my pictures bein back! lol)
