I need to start recycling. I feel like such a bum because I dont recycle because I cant throw all my recyclables in one bag like you can in Chicago when ya get the blue cans. I like it in Chicago. You just throw recyclables in this one.. food and ish in the other.. great. Done.. Take it out just the same. You have done your deed for society. i dont even recycle even though I saw An Inconvenient Truth (which SOMEONE slept through despite how riveting and informative it was!!!). So I vow by February 14 (gotta wait for the next pay check to get the new cans) I will be recycling all my stuff and aiding the nation.
So my question is, do you recycle? Do you take your own bags in the grocery store? HAve you switched your bulbs to energy efficient? What are you doing to go green?? I'm trying my best to go green. JOIN ME!!
159
If you haven't weight problems I feel bad for you son, i got 159 problems but my butt aint one. (Oh shut up Bran. I can hear you) That's my rhyme. I weighed myself and I weight 159 lbs. BUT I just did it while i was eating, after work and with jeans and my sweater on.. and I think im ovulating (tmi) so I'm prolly bloated!! Okay forget the BS.. i'm just glad I'm not at my fattest.
I went grocery shopping today. I got lots of healthy goodness.. NO junk.. not even a little. I ate trail mix for a snack at work and threw out the M&Ms and you know how I LOVE me some M&Ms. I am just ready to feel good. I dont even think this is so much about the weight, because as I said, with these extra few pounds.. shorty got a dunk for real for real.. Im just sick of being tired and sick of getting winded and feeling my thighs ache on steps. I'm ready to get my body back to where it needs to be.

Alright
Soooooo I have been trying to get back down to fighting weight for a minute now, and so I decided to blog about it so if the next time you see me I am still humungo (for me) then feel free to CALL ME OUT! And I mean call me out BOGUS like some shit that you wouldnt ever say to someone, but you think.. like when you see someone from high school at Target and you think.. DAmn she has put on like 50 pounds, she musta been eating fat back and ho-hos since graduation.. somethinglike that say that to me.
So it starts this week... I am limiting my carbs, going with healthy protein (fish) and vegetables, no fried food. After this week, I will be removing all meat, dairy and limiting my carbs even more. I will be working out 4 times a week in one way or another, eitehr working out at the gym, walkign in the neighborhood, doing the stairs at work, something to get the heart beating and the forehead sweating and then I will be super sexy.. ooh and after this weekend, I will be weaned off alcohol until further notice. Soooooo that is my plan. I would definitely LOVE to give you a weight update, but I will weigh in the mroning to let you know. And no matter how fat I am, over the next 10 weeks, I will be posting my weight, (Frightening)
As far as my other goal.. I am 111 pages into the book I am reading, Baby Proof, for march. I am going to be on time for work tomorrow. And on my road to Sasha Fierce, I got a sexy black dress as NY&Co for 20 bucks. YAY! :-)))))
So.. get ready for the hotness.

Bienvenidos a 2009!
So it is a new year. Yay! All of the excitement that comes with an opportunity to renew ourselves. I am making a list of attainable goals. Cause i really gotta get my work out game going so I actually do it and continue to do it. I feel like everytime i start working out.. seriously... I get sick.. just when I am in the groove where I love it. I get sick.. and damn can't work out.. always some sort of breathing thing that would make working out the worst thing ever. Either way my thighs are sticking together and that shit aint cute. Not even a little. I mean the Boo doesn't mind.. don't get me wrong,but I aint got the time or energy or funds to be buying new clothes and all of that shit. But the new year has started off to a decent start. The stress of going back to work is swimming all in my head. So I am just tyring to enjoy these last few days, do a little work and have fun with the babe.
There are so many things I wanna do this year so that at the end of the 2009, I can say.. HELL YEAH this was the shit, and life happens, but you have to make it crack for yourself.

Highlights of 08
Alright, so I was thinking about what I wanted in 2009, but first I gotta give some applause for 08!!
1. The definite highlight of 08 is the Snuggnut! Stay tuned, cause I got bets it's going to be the highlight of 09 too.
2. I got back in touch with my sister!
3. I made it a mission to actively reconnect with all of my girls from back in the day.. and make sure that they know how much I loooove them. And that has been the biggest blessing of the year I think.
4. I did A LOT of community service in 08.. Project Open Hand, Piedmont Conservatory, Habitat, Atlanta Food Bank.. and other stuff that I can't even remember the name but I remember the people and the blessing it is to give back.
5. My mom called me for advice.. a sister is GROWING UP!!
6. My baby girl is sooooo cute.. she is 3 and a half and just a super blessing.
7. I am working at a new school, which is making me step my game up. As hard as it is, I am soo committed to giving it the best that I have.
8. I can say I am definitely alright, spending good time all by myself.
9. I became more confident in my religious beliefs.
10. I crossed the Atlantic and saw Versailles.
11. I hiked Sweetwater Creek, played on a softball team and did all kinds of things I thought I'd never do...
08 was kinda da bomb.. 09 is bout to be like Hiroshima (well a nuclear weapon without the destruction ya know)
The highlights were great, but I think the best were the quiet moments sharing a laugh or an e-mail or a facebook message with somebody who is funny and cool, and who knows me for me. I am blessed in so many ways, so I know as much as I strive for perfection, Imust be doing something right already and I am on the right path. On the real.!

What do you know for SURE....
So every time I come home, I read all of my mom's O Magazines. I love them. I don't knwo why I am so super obsessed with it, but I must admit that I love "What I Know for Sure" page at the back where Oprah shares her pearls of wisdom. So I am thinking lately about the few things that I know for sure... keeping in mind that sure means without doubt. And the list may be small, but there are a few things that I know for sure and I would like to know yours.
1. Sometimes love is not enough to make a relationship work.
2. You have to forgive yourself in order to be happy.
3. When people show you who they are you should believe them the first time. (totally stole that from Oprah and Maya, but that is definitely true)
4. Life is hypocritical.

Words of Advice
I realized today that I need not ever solicit advice from anyone. You know why? Because I don't ever take it. Not ever. I mean I listen. I go back and forth, I say ooh yeah that's something to think about and then I do the same ish I was about to do anyway before the hours on the phone or text. I mean cause think about it.. yeah you can learn from other people's experiences and mistakes and whatever, but I'm the kinda person that is gonna follow my gut. Even when my OWN head is saying do or don't do something.. I still go with my gut and hope for the best. LOL. I only take advice when I call someone just to confirm my gut any damn way.
People have given me good solid advice, tried and true, based on their experience, common sense and morality. And I have followed some of this wonderful advice.. only to realize that it definitely doesn't work for me, after weeks of thinking awwwww.. but She is such a good person and it totally worked for her.. I should just keep trying this.. cause it's going to turn out fabulous. Only for my gut to be telling me.. Stop doing this dumb shit now..
So i am not accepting your advice anymore..
Don't give it to me. i dont want it. I'll continue to make my own f-ups and pick up the pieces as I go...
