We're Still Here!
I know, I know - we've been MIA. Have you missed us?
I've been dealing with so many changes and other misc life stuff - I really haven't had anything to say. Or at least, I haven’t had the time to say it.
As you all might remember, I started Weight Watchers a few weeks back. It's been going really good! I'm down 6 pounds total. My next weigh in will be either Wednesday (my birthday!) or Thursday. I'm thinking Wednesday during lunch so that going out to dinner that night won't affect my weigh in!
This past weekend my Dad and the crime-against-nature otherwise known as my step-monster came to visit. Overall it wasn’t a horrible visit. She managed to be semi-tolerable and only made my cry once. But, let me tell you, there was a lot of dark-beer drinking! I’ve used up almost all my “extra” weekly points. I’m still on plan though – but beer really stays with me L I’m up 2 pounds this week (on my scale). I know it’s the beer - I’ve just got to wait for the bloat to go away (patience is definitely not among my many virtues).
In exciting other news, I got the brand-spanking-new Jillian Michaels’’ dvd!!! It’s called “Ripped In 30” and I’m banking on it living up to its title! It’s a lot like the most holy and adored “30 Day Shred” (which you know we love around these parts!). I did it on Saturday and let me tell you, I’m still sore! I was supposed to get up and do it this morning, but didn’t get up in time. So, tonight it is! FGS should be getting her copy tomorrow and we will be doing it for a straight 30 days (with 1 rest day a week, natch).
This is my second week at my new job. I’m still doing training, but should be doing actual “work” tomorrow. Just another thing to stress about! The goal is to NOT eat my way through the stress!
Another stressor – today is my baby boy’s 6th birthday! And you know what that means? Birthday cake and ice cream! Ah!!! It will be okay though – I can workout and get extra points and just have a small piece.
See you tomorrow for another post - SWEARS!

Long Time No Post
Hello out there in bloggy land! Sorry for our lack of posting - it's just been a really weird time in both of our lives. Not to worry though, we're still here! We've been trying to figure out this whole Weight Watchers thing.
As far as I'm concerned, so far so good!!! I'm really liking the plan, it's very livable. It really steers you in the direction of healthier foods, while still allowing you to have those not-so-good-for-you yummies. I'm not gonna lie to you though - you really do have to think about your food choices. It's all about making the right decisions.
Of course, what it all really comes down to is what the scale says - which I'll be posting about on Wednesday as soon as I get back from my second weigh in.
You might remember a week or two ago I posted a workout schedule. Let's just say that I haven't been super faithful. No more of that though!!! I've teamed up with some lovely Twitter ladies, and am working out at 5 am. Yes. You heard that right. FIVE IN THE MORNING.
This morning I got up and did Bob Harper's 67 minute "Pure Burn: Super Strength". Oh. My. Hell. It was a hard workout. I definitely got my money's worth with this one! I can guarantee that I am going to be hurting tomorrow and the next day.
And tomorrow morning? I'm thinking that I'll do another Bob Harper one - "Body Rev: Cardio Conditioning". An hour of intense cardio at 5 in the morning? Ha! Bring it on!!! (Actually I say this while cowering the corner, fearing for my life)
If I live through it, I'll do a review of both the DVDs for you :)
Until then - here's to kicking some ass!

We Did It!
So, what exactly did we do? We both bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers. We've been doing this weight loss thing on our own for over a year now. Simple fact of the matter is, we should be at our goals by now. If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you know that exercising isn't where we are falling short. Like Jillian says "you can't out-train your diet". Words To. Live. By. people. For realz.
Why Weight Watchers? Cause that shit WORKS! It's been proven again and again. You ever seen my girl Suzi Storm??? Case closed.
We are both doing the program, but since it's really flexible, we are doing it a bit differently. FGS opted to go completely online with it. I'm doing the meetings with online access too. I need the personal support right now, and who knows, maybe I'll meet some cool people.
I went to my first meeting this morning. The meeting itself, and all the people there, was good. The weigh in??? Holy freaking hell am I a lard ass. Granted I had on jeans a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie, but still. I weighed in at 183.2. Like the lady said though - might as well weigh in high the first time so that you can go down that much more next week!
So, there's going to be a lot of changes in the way that we are eating. WW really focuses on healthy eating and really an overall healthy lifestyle.
As the days go on we'll fill you in on how it's going and what changes we are making. For right now though, and this is probably because I'm focusing on all the things that I shouldn't be eating, I'm HUNGRY.
Can't you just hear her SCREAMING at you?!

Bustin' It Out
It's time to make things happen! Results don't come from being lazy, and my ass isn't going to shrink itself!
My first day at the new job is going to be the 28th, so I have 19 days to work it out and lose as much weight as possible. To that end I've created a workout schedule. It has a LOT of variation to keep it interesting.
Here it is:
Here's my pledge to you - I will tweet my success (or lack thereof) every evening on twitter. Every morning I will tweet the previous days total calorie intake and expenditure. If you don't already, follow me and FGS on twitter now!
Here's hoping for the best!

Fat Stats - Week # Who The Hell Knows
I've been a bit emo lately, but that is changing. The big move has taken place and life is looking up. Unfortunately, my weight is also looking up.
So, this is literally some fatty "fat stats". It sucks, yes. But me and Fat Girl Slim are going to turn this shit around!
I'm gonna just show you the damage from the past few weeks straight up.
So, um, yeah, big old "oops" right there.
If you saw yesterday though, FGS is headed to VEGAS! And no one wants to be a fat ass in Vegas. Me? I'm starting a new job in 3 weeks and plan to be significantly smaller than right now. My pants are tight, my muffin top is BULGING and things have got to change!
And change they will. We've done it before, we'll do it again. Even with 3 hours separating us.
I'm not feeling super hot tonight, I've got a bit of a cold. I'm going to bust out a plan for the next 3 weeks and tomorrow I'll be posting it for you all to see.
It's on like mo' fo' donkey kong bitches.
Like I've always said,

I'm Thinkin' Vegas, Baby!
Approximately 11 weeks, 3 days and 2 hours from now [not that I'm counting or anything...] I'm dropping off the kids with my sister and heading to Las Vegas for a long weekend with my husband. It's going to be a trip for our 5 year anniversary, although we are going a couple months late. Also, I'm meeting up with some of the most fabulous women I know while we are there. This trip has the potential to be epic. 4 days and 3 nights of fun. ADULT fun. I am pretty sure my husband and I are way overdue for this.
You know what I would LOVE to be 11 weeks? Twenty pounds lighter, that's what. And it's totally do-able. I mean, it's do-able even according to healthy standards. It's time to go balls to the wall, people. I need to go big or go home. It really seems to be how I work best anyways. I've noticed I'm quite the all or nothing type of girl. [why does that sound dirty?]
I know the past few weeks have been nothing but a whiney cry-fest on this blog, and I thank you all for sticking with us. We've truly been a couple emo cows as of late. However, there will be no more of that. It's time to get back to basics and accomplish some goals. So today it's business as usual. [kinda] I'm headed to the gym, I'm eating right and most importantly, I have the right attitude back in place. Never, never, NEVER underestimate the things you can accomplish with the correct frame of mind.
Tomorrow we will be back with Fat Stats, as per the [used to be] usual. I might have to post them if Muffin Top doesn't have interwebs at her new house yet, but it WILL be done.
Happy Monday, everyone! Get out and get your exercise on. Let's start this week out right.
We are going to have a goooood time.....
