Okay yesterday I went way overboard on the exercise! I did three bouts of Tae-bo walked for 45 mins on my treadmill and since I still had energy did Hip Hop ABS! WHEW now I see what Jackie means it’s a workout!  So this morning I’m going to start out with HIP HOP ABS at 4:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Taebo!

I also found a Sugar & Carb control yogurt yesterday. It’s by DANNON (Light & Fit) 4 oz in Strawberry Cream and Vanilla Cream.  I love yogurt and it controls my sweet tooth and it has only 3 grams of carbs and 60 calories!!! YEAH because I was simply eating half of the 8 oz which has 5 carbs so now I’m happy and satisfied!

And remember guys you can do whatever you put your mind to do!  Don’t worry about the HATERS (thanks again Toni) they will always be there to push you to your destiny, but NEVER GIVE UP!  When they say you can’t…you will.  That is what keeps me motivated people thinking I can’t and won’t achieve my goals! Have a great day guys have to go send good morning messages and then start on my exercise!

P.S. To those that answered my blog yesterday I forgot to mentioned that I had already lost 8 of the 54 pounds so now it’s only 46 pounds by April 25, 2007!

Just that time of the morning actually 4:13 a.m.  My alarm went off at 4:00 a.m. and it was tough getting up this morning but hey I have a goal so tough had to get out of the way!!!!  Did all four of my workouts yesterday and man did i feel it today WHEW! But no pain no gain looking forward to a great weigh-in this weekend and next weekend for KMART would love to see 10 lbs gone by next week so that’s my goal!  Ate exceptionally well yesterday even forgot my bedtime snack because after you workout you really don’t want to eat.

Thanks Nicole for the Biggest Loser reminder.  I actually watched it last night…I felt really bad for Julian she got stuck with the (bad bunch) and you hate to label them like that ;but hey call it for what it’s worth.  I never think it’s fair when you put a man against a woman for anything because first of all Bob is taller, he’s stronger etc. etc.  Working with all men myself you always here how we wanted women’s right and this and that.  But hey I love being a woman and never would try to take the place of the man.

Jenn needed to go home and I’m glad she’s continuing on her journey.  I;m sorry but I’m ready for Kelly to go home. She wines and cries too much for me.  Anyway have you guys noticed the weight they have lost in 5 weeks? WOW and it’s all due to exercise, exercise and eating right and drinking all of your water.  32 lbs, 45 lbs, 70 lbs for Trent (but he is big and use to be a pro football player) but even the ladies inspire me because in twelve weeks I’m trying to lose 54 pounds for the contest.  Now I know that is alot but hey if anyone can I can.

What are your thoughts? Doable or not? Let me see if you think I have what it takes. I will post final results on April 5, 2008 my last weigh-in for the KMART!  Have a great Wednesday!!!!

Well I must admit I was totally exhausted last night and guess what Tatiana I was in bed at 8:45 p.m.  I came home walked on my treadmill (35 minutes - burned 215 calories)as Dupree did homework lol. Then I cooked dinner and did my last bout of tae-bo at 7:40 p.m. talk about wiped out! WHEW but it felt so good.  Now it’s time to start the madness again….lol

I can’t go to CURVES this morning at 6:00 a.m. because hubby is doing a double so I’ll do another bout of tae-bo or HIP HOP ABS (don’t really like it but I have to try it) anyway gotta run buddies have a great day and drink all of your water.  Read an article on why H20 is so important. 

We usually retain alot of water weight due to the sodium we consume so you should watch your sodium intake as well (salt) it’s in practically everything soda, candy, gum and it makes you retain water so when you drink enough water and flush out your system it’s a natual cleansing agent (learned that from Jillian (on the biggest loser) so that’s why it’s important to load up on the stuff. And try to drink crystal light it has no calories, no carbs and no sodium and it taste good!!!

And I’ve drank 10 bottles of water!!  Yeah it helps curb that appetite and I ate my turkey salad and my sugar free jello! I told you guys I’m doing this and with a vengeance!! lol Alright guys see you later when I get home and walk on treadmill and do my last bit with Billy (basic Tae-bo)!!

Off to a great start!  Did my tae-bo at 4:00 a.m. and went to CURVES at 6:00 a.m. I feel so good….I’m ready to win!!! Sorry Jackie and Felicia but you got your work cut out for you!!!

Today when I get home; I’m going to walk on my treadmill while DUPREE does his homework and before bed I’ll do Basic Tae-bo and when DUPREE goes to bed at 8:30 p.m. I’ll do the same so I have plenty of rest (remember that’s important when dieting and exercising and keeps you from that late night snacking)!!!

So to all KMART NEW DAY CONTESTANTS - watch out for ANGELA lol lol! Have a great day buddies!!!

Okay now that I’ve finally gotten that tracker thing out of my system it’s time for it to go down, down, down lol. So excited and happy! Congrats to my competition Jackie and Felicia for doing great with their weigh-in’s at KMART!  I;m getting back to the full swing of things starting with my TAE-BO at 4:00 a.m.  CURVES at 6:00 a.m. treadmill after work and then TAE-BO ‘(Basic) before bed.  I love my competition but I have a contest to WIN! lol lol Enjoy the rest of your Sunday buddies!!!

Okay okay I’ve been putting it off for as long as I could in hopes that the 22 lbs I gained from September to December would magically disappear…well they haven’t!  I did weigh in at KMART today and it actually started at 248 lbs so embarrasing but guess what lost 8 lbs and I’m on another role now to finally win the contest.  So at least I’ll feel good watching my tracker change now instead of trying to catch up.

Anyway all contestants in the KMART - NEW DAY NEW YOU contest let me know how you did!  8 lbs in 2 weeks okay now it’s time for some action!!!

Guys you have no idea  (well of course you do - lol) how much this means to be able to have all kinds of support and understanding here at Buddyslim. Over the past 3 months my life has sort of been a rollercoaster ride and if it had not been for you guys I don’t know where I would be.  Thanks to all of you and please pray me through until we reach TEXAS!

I watched the Biggest Loser finally last night and I have to admit I hate when people play games; I would’ve voted off the orange team they are going to turn on the yellow team and good for them.  I see that Jillian really is as good as they say to get the yellow team to win the weight loss contest over 6 other teams WOW!  And did you hear the stats of the weight loss 36 lbs in 4 weeks man I would win this contest for sure. But it takes dedication and hard work. They work out at least 4 times a day!  So eating healthy and working out does pay in the long wrong!

Anyway gotta run to work buddies again thanks so much for all your support and have a wonderful day!

Well anyone who hasn’t noticed it’s sad but true our economy is the pits right now.  Knowing this from putting my house up for sale.  2 years ago it was listed at $386,000. Even with all the money and upgrades we have put in the house we can’t list it for more than $340,o00 WHAT?  Man I can’t wait to get to TEXAS.  I was kinda sad and cried for about 2 hours yesterday because we have a huge house and put alot into it!

Oh well all I can say is things will get better once we’re off this expensive EAST COAST! Things are going good for hubby and me and dupree lol. They have great after school programs in Texas right at his job and it’s going to be great.  I think my older daughter Heather will be coming also she said mom I’ve never been without you. Awwwwwwwwwwww well we will definitely have more than enough room and since there are so many buddies here from texas I will have to have a buddyslim reunion lol lol

Diet not so well I think I’ve been stress eating but that has to stop I have to get weighed in for my contest Saturday and I definitely need the money now so systems are go.

Everyone have a wonderful day and please just keep me and my family in your prayers as we work through this transition!  Thanks Angela

Alright so for the past month or so my hubby and i have been having serious disagreements on where to relocate. I wanted to move to OHIO it was too cold for him understandable seeing he is from Jamaica.  So he wanted TEXAS and I said hell no! Well i visited this week and I was so impressed and simply loved it!  We had an agent meet us and show us homes and I loved it.  I went to the AMTRAK station in Houston and visited and loved it! SO I’M MOVING TO TEXAS YEEE-HAWWW!!!

We rented a car and drove around and it was simply breathtaking so spacious so just words can’t express.  We went to his job site in Texas at Continental and his boss drove us around!  So my house is going up for sale and I’ll buy a townhouse or something in Pa still going to work at AMTRAK until a transfer comes through and commute to TEXAS on the airplane it’s free! So to all my TEXAS buddies this eastcoast gal will be joining you soon, WW, Toni, Lyssa, Nyssa see yall real soon lol.

Yeah and Jackie thank you for always being there and helping me to see things as they really are.  Love you girl!!!!
