My Wobbly Bits

hahah I was thinking of starting a separate blog to log my weight loss progress. Thought better of it. I already have a small following of awesome peeps here. I don't need more.

So ya. My wobbly bits are on their way out!
I have to take the "before" picture soon with my trainer and not thrilled about it. However, I do love my new trainer. After firing the last one, who really only wanted to spend time with me..... he had to be let go. I'm not spending hard earned money to "stretch" with you.

I haven't decided how I'm going to write those upcoming entries. I'm sure they'll be uncensored, comical, sad, and gloriously triumphant at times! :)

At the moment, it's off to a rough start. NO ONE.. I repeat NO ONE mentioned when attempting to lose 70-85 lbs, that shit moves around! A lot! Skin becomes loose and decides to sit differently on your body. I've learned loose skin is a result of losing, too much, too soon, and not doing enough strength training! Good to know.

My doctor is on board too! Once I lose 40-45 lbs, I'll be eligible for a breast reduction! If anything, if not for my own health and general happiness, this is the drive behind it. That, and oh, the fact I hate the way I look naked! haha

I'm realistic in my goals. My body type. I always have been. I've been shapely, curvy, fat ass, since I was an athlete, and long, long, before having curves was an "in" thing.
Thank gawd for having a family full of girthy woman to drive that point home from a very early age. It's only now, 10 years after gaining the weight, that I'm suddenly no longer comfortable with my size, weight, etc.

I'm very fortunate to work with amazing women too. All previous or currently elite athletes. The company in general is excellent about practicing what they preach when it comes to having/living a balanced work/healthy lifestyle. I mean, if I have a deadline due, and they know I have a class coming up, they will more often than not.. I mean like 99% more often than not, INSIST I go to the class, and we'll just close the deadline the following morning.

Of course that is not the case during year end. During that time, the exec's will come to your desk and again INSIST you take a break, eat, or send you outside to get some air. They treat us very well. In return, no one gets burnt out, and we work hard for them. Not to mention of course they feed very, very well when we are asked to come in early, stay late, and occasionally come in on a weekend. It's a nice change.  Lead by example the preach. And they do.

In other news... I had dinner with the old work wife tonight. It was a great visit. Learned I was not the only one from the lay off that was having a hard time finding work. I knew of a small handful. I was surprised to learn of others whom, I previously thought were being sought out for employment. Who knew?

Product Name Dropping!!! - Green Works - Works!!!

I bought a new bathroom/kitchen cleaner over the weekend, mostly due to the fact it was $2 cheaper than the normal stuff I use... and I'm saving all my money for a car...

Every few dollars I can save, whether it be $2 here, $10 there etc..

all gets dropped into the car fund.

I used Green Works Bathroom Cleaner for the first time. I have to say, I'M SOLD!

This stuff was not only cheaper than the Mr. Clean I've been accustom too over the years, I used less, and took 10 mins less time to clean.

In 10 mins, I cleaned a very disgusting tub, a regular toilet/basin, sink, and kitchen sink.

All which normally takes me 20-30 mins with Mr. Clean.

SOLD I tell ya, SOLD! 

Don't get me wrong. Mr. Clean is an excellent brand, and will still have a place in my home, until I slowly try the other Green Work products out there!

Save time and money, go try it.

Blog Topic Previews....

I will write about these soon, and please.do.not.judge.me.

** Love. Someone told me love is a choice, not something that happens... I'll give my input with, and without religion aspects. As I don't agree, but it's food for thought for sure!

** I've entered the dating world, and giving it some serious effort.. I NEED KNEW DATES CLOTHES AND SHOES!!! Single & Picky - we so have to meet up! I need your sexpot assistance! Dating is exhausting, however, I'm being the most honest with myself this time around, and it's resulting in many, many dates.

** I've been invited into a very real Fifty Shades of Gray scenario... and I'm giving it some serious consideration. ;-p

I think there you have it.... As I have time, and brain power, between work, the gym, dates, and sleep, I'll find time to write these blogs.

:)

New topics

I have a few blog topics coming up. Stay tuned.  :)

I'm So Deflated.

I'm over it. Over men.
Just going to focus on myself for the next little while.

If the men in my life; actions don't match their words, well they're just no longer men in my life.

I can't even humour the idea of dating anyone right now.

This last one just took the last ounce of energy reserve

it takes to commit to a relationship.

I'm spent.
