DAY 214: 20 POUNDS GONE ...Good Riddance to Yah!!!

WOOO HOOOO!!!!  Yep I finally hit 20 pounds.  It took me long enough to get there, but I am hoping I will reach 50 a lot faster now.  Since I started weight watchers in June I have lost 14 pounds.  I think losing 7 pounds a month is awesome and I hope I can maintain that momentum throughout the next couple of months.  It  would be great if I can reach my 50 pound goal before the January 2012.

I have to be honest, I haven't done much exercise for the month of July.  I still have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym.  I am kind of disappointed in myself because I haven't been getting my "Roll Bounce" on at the skating rink.  I haven't been roller skating since June, and that is just sad.  If I did exercise I think I could have easily shed 10 pounds or more each month instead of just 7.  So I plan to get my lazy butt up and be more active this month.  I figure I can at least pull out the Wii and Dance for 1.5 hours twice a week and hit the rink on Sunday.  Who wants to hit the Rink with me?

So last time I posted here, I mentioned that I was singing at the historical Blues Alley.  I had an awesome time...the musicians were on fire, the crowd was great and I felt right at home on the stage!  Below is the audio recording of my performance...sorry no video.  But I did record a video of myself right before I left for the show just to share with you.  If you remember me being kind of blown last time I performed because I couldn't find anything to wear...well this time I found a cute sexy number to wear to the show.  Enjoy the music folks!!!

DAY 190: Losing Weight During the Holidays

Hey Folks!!!  Hope everyone enjoyed spending time with the family and friends during the 4th of July.  This is a difficult time of year to stay focused and eat wisely during all the cookouts and warm weather celebrations.  What works for me is planning ahead.  If I know I am going to a cookout I decide what I will eat and how many drinks I will have.  

My clothes are fitting lose and I have actually started transitioning into wearing my clothes that are one size smaller!!!  About three months ago I found a pair of pants with the perfect cut and I loved how they looked on me.  But I just couldn't seem to zip them up...LOL....yeah I know I should have put them back on the rack, but they looked so great.  I could just imagine how great they would look on me, if I could fit them :-)  So I got them and stuck them in my closet.  Every couple weeks I would try to squeeze into them and then peel out of them after I didnt' have any luck zipping them up.  Well Sunday July 3rd I slid into those pants and zipped them up.  Hey Folks, your Girl was Looking Good ;-) I will be sure to post pics next time I wear them.

I will be singing at Blues Alley again next week.  Hoping this time I have better luck with finding something cute to wear.  Wish me Luck!!!
