Before I speak about my “routine” I want to mention that my vacation pics will be posted 2morrow.

I had a very busy and tiring weekend. On Sunday, I ran some errands, picked up Brady and slept for the rest of the day. Today, I studied (for a little bit) and got ready for Andy’s cousin BBQ. I had a good time. I really enjoyed playing cards with his family. The game we played was called “Spoon”. It’s a cute game. Andy later became sick. This morning I bought him Mickey D’s breakfast and a few hours later he had a stomach ache. I feel fine but with the combination of stress and food, he became really sick. I just pray he gets better. I wish we had at least one more day off.

Tomorrow, I am going to get back into my M.I.T (Milf in Training) routine. I am happy to say that I gained any weight. I am maintaining. However, its time to lose some more weight. Between wanting to go back to school, traveling, etc, I have lost focus. Right now, my refrigerator is empty so I am starting out on a clean slate. I plan to ride my bike more often and I am so happy that I bought a bike rack for my car. I am just waiting for Andy to assemble it for me.

Since I have been hanging out with Andy lately, I’ve noticed that he lost so much weight. He wasnt obese or anything, he’s just “soft to the touch” :-). Since bike riding, Andy has been lean and trim and I hate having my bf look better than me. I’m going back to M.I.T. I’ll keep you posted.

I am planning on going to Florida after training in May with Andy and I havent lost much weight. I just rode my bike an hour ago and I feel great. I have to try and convince Andy to continue riding with me same time every day. He likes to go to the gym and work out with his boy and lift weights and all that corny stuff but he needs to work out with me. Because, again, I did not pay all this money on this bike and dont ride it. I hope I ride again 2morrow.

Today, work was great. I love not being on the phone and I like my educator. She’s cool. We had meetings basically all day and I ate like a pig. My job sells these “homemade” chocolate chunk cookies and they taste so good. My job sells 1 cookie for $1.38. I know its expensive but its good. And its not even a big cookie either. It’s an average size cookie.

I need to get with the program. I want to fit into my Jamaica bikini. I may not look banging in my bikini but as long as I dont have rolls, I’m fine.

-Write to you l8r

Ok, I have a lot to write about, but I am not going to write a lot bc I’m tired. In short, on Friday Andy went to the dentist and good news is that he doesnt have any cavities and the dentist says he has the best “textbook” teeth. Even though she said the same thing to me, and probably to all of her patients, he felt so special. Whatever! Anyways, we were at the dentist for about 2 hours since he had to get x-rays done and his teeth cleaned. At about 2:00 pm, we finally made it to High Gear Cyclery to pick up our bikes.

Here’s…

We were so psyched with getting our bikes that the same evening we rode them. We weren’t used to our “clip-in” shoes and I ended up falling off the bike twice and Andy fell once. LOL! I was traumatized. I didnt want to ride my new bike anymore. Eventually, Andy convinced me to face my fears and I began to ride my bike. I have to get used to clipping and unclipping my shoes from the pedals.

On Saturday, Andy’s uncle swung by to ride with us. His uncle Jimmy has been riding for a few years now and that morning, I couldnt keep up with him or Andy. They were racing and riding so fast, I thought I was competing in the Tour de Jersey. Overall, we had fun.

To be continued….

 

I can not, I refuse, to let this monkey beat me in sit ups. There’s no way. This simian is making me look bad. I have to kick up my workout routine. But doesn’t he, and his partner, look cute?

 

I have been feeling really great lately. I am a little less stressed and I dont have to deal with certain people not wanting to do stuff with you so you both can have a good time. I want a person who can put in as much effort into a relationship as I am. And if they cant do that, I dont need them. I am no one’s mother. I dont need to put all of my energy and time to “try” and have a good time with someone who supposedly loves and cares for you.

To anyone who is reading this, if you are not happy and you feel emotionally drained trying to bring some romance and excitement into the relationship, by all means leave while you can. Because I can 100% guarantee that this person will not change…at all! They feel their way is the best way and you dont need that. Period.

I’m about to go to bed. Good night!

weight. I lost a total of about 8 pounds. Yay!!! I have been eliminating red meat and pork and eating healthy. I messed up yesterday bc someone at my job had a birthday and I had some icecream cake and Dunkin Donuts munchkins :-(. I am going to get back on track.

I am going to wait up early to bake some salmon. I am going to prepare it with a salad on the side. That will be my lunch. For breakfast, I am going to eat some Kellogs Fruit and Yogurt cereal with organic 2% reduced fat milk. It doesnt taste bad at all. I didnt think I would like it. I like soy milk as well. And for dinner, I wont eat any. If anything, I will snack on a yogurt or something. I have to limit the calories I intake. We’ll see how I do 2morrow. I havent been consistent with working out either. The gym, for me, is boring. I just cant wait to buy a bike. With Andy working out with me, I’ll be more motivated to be consistent and lose weight. We’ll see how everything works out.

I’m thinking about becoming either a pesco-vegetarian (no meat, only fish). Either that or just limit meat to about once every two weeks. I think meat causes you to gain weight and other bad things. I am going to start 2morrow officially. I have to prepare my body for a detox on Saturday. I cant wait. Saturday is going to be a busy day for Andy and me. Not only do I get a detox, I have to clean my apartment, buy bikes, and see his uncle and help him fix up his house. I’ll keep you posted on how Saturday goes.

Other than that, today was great. I handled some business before I went to work. I dont want to mention anything yet, until the time is right. But all I can say is I have a backup plan. Then I went to work for four hours and spent only about two and half hours on the phone because of a break, team meeting and pending accounts. I just wish that the week goes by quick. Oh i forgot! I have to bathe my cat too :-(.

 

I worked today. It was fine, because for half of the day I wasnt on the phone. We had an award ceremony and I earned MVP for the month of December. I wouldnt had MVP for February, but I was set up. Long story. Anyway, I dont work until 5 pm 2morrow. So only four hours of work:-). This Saturday, I am planning on cleansing out my system. I havent been eating right and I want to detox and start tabula rasa. This is my year to look and feel great and right now I’m not feeling too good.

I wanted to wear a skirt today for work and the skirt was too tight. It barely went over my butt. My butt gotten so big. I mean my bf doesnt mind but I dont want to be a size 14 again. I have to go on a strict diet, but the hardest part is sticking to it. I plan to post pictures soon of my weight loss journey.

Andy and I have come to a decision. We are going to incorporate bike riding into our lifestyle. We believe it will be the best way for us to lose weight. We need to include more cardio in our workout routine but obviously we are not doing enough because we are still two fat f$#*s. We both like riding bikes but we haven’t been on a bike for the last couple of years. And we don’t own any. I had a cheap Target bike, before, but it was heavy and it didnt fit in my apartment. I sold it through Craigslist (I love Craigslist), and got rid of it. Just recently, I decided to get either a bike that folds and/or a very light weight bike that is easy to carry up and down the stairs.

Andy and I are going bike shopping this Saturday and I hope to not leave empty handed. A very decent bike costs at least $1500. We are plan to spend up to that amount on each bike. We cant put a price on being healthy :-). Anyway, if any of my loyal readers are interested in buying a great bike, please visit Trek or Cannondale. And a great folding bike to purchase is Dahon.  I am sure there are other great bike brands out there, but these are the only ones that piqued my interest. I’ll keep you posted on whether I was able to buy a bike and the brand I chose.
