Here....We....Go!

Ok to start a Weight Watchers commercial was just on TV.  That shit doesn't cut it for me anymore.  It is for people who like to go for walks everyday.  Not people who go to the gym and KILL IT EVERY DAY.  Just so you know...

Recap:

My first Blog was January 29, 2012 (holy shit that was almost 2 years ago!!!!).  I was 174 pounds and I am now 161(ish). Still going down down down. I have shrunk significantly as I am now a M in everything and have never been a M in anything in my whole life.  However, my goal is still 150 (but really it is just to have a tight bod). I have been stuck going up and down from 164 to 160 for the past 8 months.  What a pain in the ass, to say the least.  I saw 159, then went to Vegas a couple times,  had a few too many bender long weekends, and am back to 161.  Steady I stay...plateau has struck hard.

Not anymore. I am ready more than ever to lose that last stubborn 10 pounds and thought what a perfect opportunity to write in my Blog. It helps me to stay on track to keep writing about my goal and maybe even helps you by providing motivation!  Lets do it together!  (only if you're not going to pussy out on me though, so if you're a pussy I don't want to do it together.  I only have champions on my team, right Humes?)

I started a new way of eating which my friend Haylee preaches.  A book called "Beyond Diet" is also excellent and informative (book introduced to me by friend at work with hot bod who KILLS IT at the gym with me everyday (hereinafter, and once above, referred to as "Humes").  It is basically eating a lot of protein with every meal and every snack and eliminating white pasta and bread.  Making sure you include healthy fats like avocados and coconut oil every day. Ensuring you are eating enough calories for your body type. Eating more organic foods and breads with "sprouted whole grains".  Same old shit but not really.  I would go on into detail about this new plan I am trying but lets face it, I am too lazy to type it all out, and you seriously probably don't even care about what exactly it is because you probably know you need to lose weight but aren't willing to do what it takes (sorry that was harsh, but I do not care because I am writing my Blog and I am allowed to say whatever the fuck I want).  If you are interested and want some helpful tips or have some helpful tips I love you, send me a message and we will discuss.  I do hope this will push me through my plateau.  I am going to try hard.

As some of you may know, I LOVE GOING TO RIVER CREE.  However, as of the other day when I lost all my money, had a mental breakdown, cried like a loser and punched my boyfriend Kevin (hereinafter referred to as "Kevin") in the face for not losing all of his, I feel I go too often.  Something's got to give.  I need to come up with a plan to cut back....

You may also know that I love pasta and pizza. However,  with my new way of eating and my newfound rekindled desire for skinniness, I must say goodbye to having those every weekend cheat meals of pizza gooey goodness and save them for special occasions.

My two favourite things in the world (white, dense, heavy carbs and River Cree) are no longer going to be a part of my weekly routine but I still need to have them in my life or I WILL DIE (plain and simple). So, today a light bulb turned on in my head!  Losing the weight and reaching my goal weight will obviously be the ultimate in itself but why not, for a shorter term, reward myself with a wonderful night out at my favourite restaurant followed by a lovely visit to River Cree (maybe even a stop off at LuLu for a little reward too!)  Best fucking idea I've ever had in my life.  "You aren't supposed to reward yourself with food and/or create other addictions" you say? Well I say fuck you.  You aren't supposed to take it in the ass (it's an exit only), but you do it anyway.  You aren't supposed to sniff chemical powder shit up your nose, but you do it anyway.  You aren't supposed to wear white after Labour Day, BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAY.  So there.

As of right now, I am going to push and try like all hell to get myself the best Saturday funday ever!  And not only will I get that, I will have a slimmer, sexier body while doing it! I will be lookin FINE that day and Kevin will know it! BAM.....Then when I lose all my money again it won't bother me because I will know I am still skinnier and ain't nobody gonna take that away from me!

So, first short term goal weight is 156.  That is 5 pounds from now.  The last 5 pounds I lost it took me 6 months and there is no way in hell I am waiting 6 months to go to casino or have spaghetti and garlic toast.  NO WAY IN HELL.  We will see how fast I can do this.  Keep in mind I have already lost 75 pounds and have already kept it off for 3 years so it's not like I'm some fat heifer who can drop 5 in one week straight off my gunt.  Keep in mind I also KILL IT AT THE GYM EVERYDAY and I am also gaining muscle mass (5 days a week = everyday).  This is going to be hard.  

Oh yes, I am also trying to cut down on the drinks.  The ones with alcohol.  We will see how that goes...

I recently put a picture up in my house saying this:

PERSISTENCE
Chance Favours Those Who Persist

While I do believe it is actually referring to golf since it is a beautiful picture of a golf course, I apply it to weight loss.  Think about it.  Deep right? 

I will keep you updated on how she goes.  So long, and thanks for reading.


P.S.  Just so you know, I didn't actually punch Kevin in the face. I am not THAT unstable.

  1. Hi Jessica, your blog was certainly ....interesting..and funny. It's been many years since we worked together at the Casino, but i remember then that you were very unhappy about your weight, but that was prior to you losing 75lbs. I just wanted to say, (from ample experience!), that it is not easy to lose weight and keep it off, and it's a HUGE freakin accomplishment to do so. Just the thought of the continuous effort and hard work makes me happy i'm still fat! (lol, jk!) So congratulations, and best of luck on reaching your goal! I'm sure that with your determination, you will get there! Maybe one day I will find your iron will and join you in this journey, until then..... I think i'll go have another slice of pizza! ;)
