Dear Me...Love, your Feet
VANITY is the #1 reason for me to want to lose weight. There I said it! With that being said, of course looking sexy as F*CK in Miami this year is on the top of my list too. So here is a little reminder to myself of what my FEET would like to be wearing on this upcoming trip...LOL

Memoirs of a Big Girl- Gucci gets me goin'
Hey lovers...
This weekend was nice, I had MLK day off at work. I saw Notorious with Baby J- Baby J by the way is my dear friend that I moved to ATL with, my partner in crime. It was good, we also got food at Fridays and drinks at Strip at Atlantic Station. On monday I did some grocery shopping, I'm trying to rid all animal products from my diet so I stocked up on all my morningstar faves.
In other random, errand running news...I took some jeans to get altered. I have been saying NO to Jeans since my one and only faves ripped to shreds. If the dont fit 100% right I dont want em. The problem that I have is if they are a tight perfect fit in the ass and legs then they are too tight around the waist and if they fit in the waist then they are saggy in the ass. GROSSY! So hopefully this alternative spot close work and hook me up! A girl can only have soooo many pairs of leggings! Most of my jeans I get from TORRID. I LOOOOOVE TORRID, they are the BEST place for the extra curvy gals. I also discovered that ASOS.com is now going up to a UK20 which equals about a 16/18 US. I got this leather jacket:
Cant wait for it to get here...I will give you the details on the fit when it arrives.
WORKOUT UPDATE:
Its Wednesday so Im checking in with results, since the last time I posted I have worked out the following days:
Today 01/21- 30 minutes- 2 miles
Monday 01/19- 1 hour- 4 miles
Saturday 01/17- 45 minutes- 3 miles
...Not bad but I'm still shooting for 5 days a week. I' also 2 pounds down which puts me at 240.
My goal each time I step on the treadmill, running is a mind game, really. I used to run cross country in high school and I still remember how great I felt after pushing my body to the limit- not to mention how great my legs looked!

Memoirs of a Big Girl- Day One
This is ME now: 
It's DAY ONE only because I've decided to use this blog to help keep my fat ass on track to becoming a slim (not skinny) ass. So I've decided to dedicate some of this blog to my progress and my life as a big girl. It will be interesting to see my life AFTER I have lost weight to see just how different it is. I haven't always been chubby so I feel the difference everyday...but for the last 3 1/2 years I just havent given a sh*t about it. 2009 has to be different. Not only because its the New Year and why NOT start but because I'm beginning to not feel cute anymore. When that leaves you what else do you have? When you, yourself no longer feel cute, its a problem. So here is my journal to Skinny-ville!
-My plan is to run on the treadmill 60 mins 5 days out the week
-Eat lower carb...this is the only way I have ever dropped pounds in the past. I probably will not be able to cut em all out since I am trying to cut out meat from my diet. I do plan to say NO to sugar, bread, pasta, rice, crackers, etc.
I'm going to Vegas in the middle of March to help a friend move so that is first 'goal deadline'. I would like to be 20 pounds down. Thats 63 days. 9 weeks. Roughly 2 pounds a week. I think its do-able.
This is me in Miami for Memorial Day 2008.
129 days away. Roughly 18 weeks away. I want to be 50 pounds down. Thats roughly 3 pounds a week. Again realistic and do-able.
According to http://www.freedieting.com/ my ideal weight range is 143-147 (YIKES!- I got some woooork to do!) They even shows you how to find out your body frame, which I didnt know. I thought I was a medium build, but according to the 'wrist test' im a small. Check out the site, they have several calculators there to help you determine calorie intake, weight loss calculator, etc.
My Daily Contribution towards losing weight:
-This morning before work I did 60 mins/3.71 miles on the treadmill.
-I avoided the Payday candy bars ( MY FAVE) at work in the candy jar.
STATS:
Starting Weight: 245- I'll report in every Tuesday.

Me Myself and 2009
Its 2009 now, I'm 27 and I think life has finally got to me. It is time to start completing all the things that I ever dreamed of doing. For years I have had grand ideas stewing in this brain of mine...but none of them ever made it to the table; so for 2009 I have got to complete some shit!
So far 3 days into the New Year, its been interesting...I've moved out the hood (Bankhead to be exact) I know...who moves to Atlanta and moves to BANKHEAD??...well me and my roommate/friend did just that...but not entirely on purpose. We did have a brand new townhouse, so its not like we were in the projects. My NY lover came to spend Christmas with me since I had to work and going to see the family in Cali was not an option. That was nice of him..i guess. He ended up staying and helping me move which I appreciate. So back to 2009, I have to accomplish some shit. One would be to take this blogging shit more seriously. This is my 3rd attempt at it...so I guess its only right that we get accqainted.
27. Virgo. Single- no kids. Just me and a chihuahua named Rico- NO not Rico Suave but more like Rico-Camron's character-from Paid in Full. A giant ball of creativity who works a regular ass 9 to 5 who LONGS for her chance to shine. Makeup artist. Designer. Stylist- you name and I can do it. I love NY- the men, the accent, the pace, the buildings, the culture, everything...i should live there by now but for now i just fuck a native. Loves all the wrong people. Nice guys look past me like I have a sign that reads DOPE BOYS ONLY on my forehead. 5'8 1/2. Green eyes. Havent seen my family in 2 years now, I miss my mom but she understands im busy. Atlanta resident since Feb '08. Cali born, bred and fed for the first 23 years of my existence. Lived somewhere not important in the Midwest for 3 years which was a waste of time but much needed life experience. Doesnt know if a relationship is ever in her future. Chronic fear of being taken advantage of. Assertive at the wrong times.Patient with the wrong ones. A female asshole who wishes someone would recognize that im sensitive.30324 is my zip. size 10 shoe. My hair was 2 inches from my ass and for some strange reason i chopped it off now its 2 inches from my shoulders. If I was skinny I would be a exotic dancer, but I'm convinced God keeps me fat for a reason. I know the potential I have, but dont understand why I just dont 'DO IT'...whatever IT might be. Not sure if kids are in my future. Can dress better than any other size 16 chick that U know. Will lose 80 pounds this year. Will be more organized.Will practice being happy this year. Will be more optimistic this year. Will appreciate all that I have and worked for this year. Will realize it could be much worse. Will take more risks....
enjoy all that you are.
