I have been soooo bad... I have fallen off the wagon.. I need to get back on.. I haven't exercised in forever.. What's up with that.. I am getting so frustrated.. I am not getting that push I need!! Come on guys.. be mean to me!! Tell me what a fattie bo batty I am!! :)
I know it's not all about the weight.. But that's one of my biggest frustrations.. and it dwells on my mind.. I just can't stand it anymore.. I want to loose weight, but I just don't have the motivation to get going.. Plus there were a lot of personal things going on in my life.. but that will always be.. so I need to stop making excuses and get my ass in gear! Are you with me!!!!

I want to give a special thanks to my group that has grown since I started this journey the beginning of this month.. I feel so energetic and ready to do this because of all the support. Thank you guys.. you are amazing!
Amanda- I really enjoyed walking with you that night.. The weather was cold, but it felt so good and we did it!! It was so relieving! Maybe we can double our walk next time, cause I was still ready to go!! :) With my pepper spray in hand, I am invincible! :)
Well tomorrow is weigh in day.. we shall see what results come of that.. I am supposed to go out tonight.. 3 points a light beer.. humm.. guess I won't eat anything today and drink my points! just kidding... I can handle that! Just going out in support for a friend and to enjoy myself.. it's been a while..
Well I have to get going, one of my three jobs is requiring my services today.. 9-4... takes up the whole day, but it's worth it! I love my clients! They are amazing and a true inspiration of you can do anything no matter what cards you are dealt!
Much love,
Jessie

Success!
Hello Everyone!
Well we had our first meeting on Sunday at Starbucks, (Me, Christine, & Erin).. I encourage you to join if you can or want. I am happy to announce that since I started this blog, I have lost -1.60 lbs.!!! I know it's not much, but its a start!
I did try and exercise some yesterday, but Ava thought it was playtime and wanted to do it with me. Although it was absolutely adorable watching her attempt to follow along on a video I had playing, it made it extremely hard for me to do it because she was so far up my you know what, I would have ended up kicking her or tripping over her. So now my goal is to find some sort of routine I can do with her there, to which wouldn't result in any injuries!
I think I may bundle her up real good and me as well and take out the stroller and run in the park that is right by my house. Thanks to Mark I have my pepper spray for any sucker that tries to mess with me! ha ha ha..
The weekend proved really hard to keep on track. I was so very hungry at work yesterday (worked 4-10pm). I think in part it was due to being bored. I do a lot of sitting around at my job, which doesn't help. I found myself thinking of food, in fact it was kind of scary, almost like I was obsessing.. And was I really hungry? or did I just want to eat out of boredom? I did really good though as far as keeping my healthy choices.. I did cheat and have an egg McMuffin from McDonalds... (I know I am a sinner).. but I calculated it into my points! It was just a fast breakfast option because I had numerous mouths to feed yesterday (4 to be exact)..
But I vow now to really limit my intake of fast food, even if I am calculating it into my daily points target.. It will for sure save me money!
Saturday I went grocery shopping and bought all the food for my week of meals. I stuck strictly to my grocery list, and even though temptation was there, I didn't venture off of it! I then went home, where I prepared all the food I bought.. So when you open my fridge you will see all the lettuce in separate containers for my salads for the week. all I have to do is grab it and go! This helps me out greatly because all too often I find myself in a rush, and forgetting to make lunch, which then results in my ordering food from some restaurant by work for lunch.
I can't express to you the relief I felt to have everything ready for me.. This morning was amazing! I made it to work on time!! I got Ava and I ready for the day. Grabbed her lunch and mine and out the door we went! I even had time to cook some breakfast for myself!
It feels great to be organized!
Speaking of which! I purchased a Weight watchers Magazine and they have some great tips, and would have known that organization helps with weight loss! Its such a great feeling!
I want to give a special thanks to Erin, who helped me get organized this weekend! I appreciate it!
Well I must get going!
Take Care!

Seeking Partners
Hello Everyone!
Well I have gotten many comments back regarding my blog. I just want to give a sincere thank you to you for your support and love!
A couple of you wanted to join me on my journey, and I welcome you! Currently I am doing the weight watchers program. The online version ($17/mo) because that's all I can afford right now. I used weight watchers last year and was successful. I just prematurely ended my membership. I have come to realize that I need to work a little harder on it and keep it up. It truly is a lifestyle changing program.
Now because I cannot afford the complete program that includes meetings, I have decided that I would like to host my own meetings. Every Sunday I will be meeting with my friend Christine at 10 am at the Starbucks inside Target on Howell Ave. This meeting will consist of us sharing our weigh in, progress, making a weekly menu, grocery list, and any tips or info we find. My motto is the more the merrier so, anyone that would like to join, let me know!
I will as well add links to my blog with info I may find interesting.
Also, I am finding it extremely hard to get myself to work out! What the heck is that all about? Like yesterday, I literally did nothing!! Mark and I sat around napped, ate, and watched Homicide: Life on the Streets. ALL DAY LONG! I totally could have exercised, but just felt like being a couch potato! I really need to get out of this rut! But I think I need more than just me doing it.. I think I need to find a work out partner to get me started.. I need someone that will schedule work out times with me. If I have a "work out appointment" I will be more likely to keep it! MFJ you suggested mall walks! I love the mall and I love to walk, so I am there! Let's schedule some times to meet!
On top of that I have a couple work out DVD's. I also have some workout routines off of my weight watchers website. I would really like to get started on those! I am generally free in the evenings.. I am off on Tuesdays. I do work 9-4 every other Saturday and 4-10 every other Sunday. I hope that I can work something out with one of you.
Well I am going to end this book of a blog..
Have a great Friday!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! I hope that everyone had a safe and fun new year!
Well today is the supposed to be the official time I start my diet. And let me tell you it's proving to be difficult.. Sitting around the house, tired, just wanting to do nothing makes me want to eat!!!
So far today, I must confess I had some chips and dip! The food selection at Mark's right now isn't the best, it's all left overs from my binge eating last night for my last day of junk! lol. I do have to make my menu for the week and hit up the grocery store. Because there is nothing healthy or wholesome in the house right now.. I suppose I should have planned ahead!
I will try and work out today as soon as I get motivated.. It just seems so nice to not have to go to work or chase here and there. It's just nice to not have to do anything! But that's what I have to snap out of!
Well I am going to go for now.. try to drag myself to the shower and get motivated to start my day!

The Begining
Hello Everyone!
With the new year comes many reflections of the year past. The one thing that weighs on my mind is my lack of a healthy lifestyle. Four years ago I had the most precious gift given to me, my daughter Ava.
Along with this precious gift came the extra forty pounds that I am still carrying today. I have struggled with my weight for some time now. Disgusted at pictures taken since then, still not being able to wear the clothes I wore pre-pregnancy, and angry with my lack of a healthy lifestyle.
The most frustrating part of this all, is I know that I have the ability to change it all. I have the power to transform my body, thoughts and lifestyle into what I want it to be. I am hoping that through the support of family and friends, I can achieve this goal!
I am designing this blog to share with you my progress from start to finish. I would love your feedback, support, and tips. I will update the blog with pictures and posts of my progress. This is a very private matter, but I feel that by making it public, I can motivate myself even more to stop making excuses and actually take that step forward!
Anyone else that wants to join me on my journey, jump on board because this train is leaving the station!
A special thanks to Mark, my main motivator that isn't afraid to tell me how it is! I thank you for drilling in my head to stop making excuses and just do it. I love you very much, and even though I may get angry, those are the words I need to hear!
Current Weight: 194
Goal Weight: 140
