You Are Enough - Day 2
Day 2 begins and I am beyond exhausted. Already on my second cup of coffee but I woke up earlier than normal and got a good breakfast in. A lazy breakfast but it was still a great one.
I know most of you on this blog are fully aware of the health benefits of greek yogurt but I only recently experienced its greatness about 3 months ago. I began the journey with Chiobani 0% and then tried out...
The Bitch Is Back
So to say that I have taken a break would be a lie or rather an understatement. I have been having some serious issues getting back onto my life plan and have gained about 7 lbs. I found myself eating a lot and not caring at all about the consequences until I started seeing photos.
My arms, legs and stomach are the largest they have ever been and for the first time in my life, I am completely...

I decided to try Vanilla Almond Breeze today for my coffee and cereal. I figured it couldn’t be that bad. I fell in love…the end.

First day back…this should be quite the interesting day.
Holy Moly…the past few days have done some major damage on the scale. Today is some serious water consumption and healthy eats. You gotta live but you also have to keep your life in check. I enjoyed the weekend and now I’ll have to pay for it.
Happy Monday Ya’ll!
Well the Butterfinger shake was totally worth it. I know that tomorrow I will have a few things that I will be splurging on as it is the Superbowl and I haven’t had a wing in over a year. I plan on drinking as well. I mean, I have said to everyone before. I am a 24 year old single female…should I cut out drinking entirely to lose weight? Absolutely not. As long as I work out and...
I’m splurging today. Butterfinger shake- here I come!
Weight loss CITY
Back to weight loss since my life has been consumed with job searching, interviews and stressing out. I had a few bad days this past week but I am back on the weight loss horse (no pun intended). I am back to the weight I was the last week in January when I weighed in. Here are a few goals for the month ahead.
Weight loss goal of 10 lbs. I think this is completely realistic since I lost...
Follow up interview went great! Now all I can do is wait and be confident in the performance that I had. If they choose someone else, there is a reason why it didn’t work out. It is ultimately the biggest dream job I have had. It would put me into the department that I wanted to have a career in.
Deep breath and patience =)
Follow up interview to meet the rest of the department tomorrow. A department that includes 6 other people. I pray that they see my motivation and passion and I get this job.
Good thoughts and a positive attitude will get me through.
When you are feeling down and tired the best thing to do is fuel your body with some beneficial and nutritious foods.
Dinner consisted of egg whites, laughing cow light cheese, whole grain tortilla. Greek yogurt and a cut up pear. I needed a major energy boost even if it is later at night. Tomorrow is the beginning of another new WW week for me. I have lost 10 lbs in the month of January....

I went on an interview today for my dream job. Well at least a step into my dream job. Any good karma, thoughts and prayers sent my way would be greatly appreciated. This is now the 10th interview I have been on since losing my job 3 months ago. I need a little sunshine and hope in my life to keep me going strong. This is my chance to really do what I am passionate about.
Remember the time that I made out with a guy that I work with….oh wait? No I don’t remember because that is how intoxicated I was last night. What is my life?
The life of a 20 something female
I am epically failing in my photography class at the moment. It always ends up being the day before or the day of and I realized that I haven’t taken my photographs yet. EFF!
Remember that time when the JETS fans were rude and obnoxious last night when I was taking photographs of them aka doing my job….oh welp looks like karma came back to bite you in the ass.
Black and Yellow on repeat
Dare I wear my black leopard Nike dunks to the bar on a Saturday night? Hmm
Best part about working at a bar?
Seeing people you know
Worst part about working at a bar?

I wish I lived with someone that could french braid hair…
Tomorrow is the end of a 2 year long love affair…with my nose piercing. I really like it but I think that it may be inhibiting me from getting rehired. I didn’t have it when I got my job originally but just came in with it one day and no one really noticed. I’m scared to take it out myself because every time I try, it gets stuck. I’m leaving it to my good buddies over...
Well today was a rough day to say the least. Long story short, I went for an interview…it was clear that it was just a favor for someone and then I started crying in the middle of Brooklyn. I’ve had some roommate issues lately that have been on my mind. I don’t know about you all but I don’t deal well with someone being mad at me. It doesn’t even matter if I like...

In my past few posts, I have not gotten any sort of reaction or response. So here is my question for ya’ll. What do you want to hear more about?
Tell me and I’ll fulfill your wishes. I have been on this weight loss journey for most of my life. I know what works and what doesn’t work. I know that if you don’t have the right mindset, nothing will get done. I know that...
Day 5 Recap
I set my alarm and made myself get up immediately. I need to train my body to get back onto a normal sleeping schedule in case I do get hired sometime soon. We all also know that someone that is trying to lose weight should get a good nights rest. I went to bed around 1 am and woke up at 10:30 am. I am going to try to get to bed even earlier tonight.
Breakfast:
Didn’t happen. By the...

Day 3
Woke up around 11 am to send over some footage that I filmed for my sister. After I knew that was all ready to go, I made myself some breakfast.
I have noticed that I still have a tendency to make healthy “fat kid” versions of the foods that I enjoy. I guess that is the best thing for me to do so I enjoy the food that I am eating but I’m cutting calories in half by choosing...
2011 Takeover (Makeover)
My New Year started on Monday because my family does a big celebration on New Year’s Day. I figured what better way than to start fresh on a Monday. For those of who that are new followers, I am losing weight using the Weight Watchers PointsPlus plan. I have started to get to the gym in the new year and hope to continue with this process.
Day 1 Food:
Dunkin EWTSV
Coffee with skim and...

I don’t have all that much in my apartment that I feel like I eating at the moment but I told myself that I would be creative with what I had in the fridge. I made matzo ball soup for the first time the other day but it gave me a stomachache so I wasn’t going to make that again. I did have half an onion left and figured it would taste yummy in some scrambled eggs. I turned to my...
Starting Fresh
This is the game plan for this week. I started a new week of WW PointsPlus. I am confident that I will eat well except for NYE. I won’t be overdoing it because my friends will be coming to my apartment and it will be a sushi extravaganza. If I plan my day out well, I shouldn’t have to use all that many weekly points. The next day is also a family tradition and I believe my mom...
Eating machineee
Well let’s just say that the eating went seriously downhill when I went on my first trip to Los Angeles. It was raining for most of the time so my sister and I ended up making meals our main events of the day. I have to say that for the first time in a while, I really let myself have whatever I wanted and didn’t restrict myself. All day Sunday, I worked 21 hours on a music video...
First time for everything!
Well….looks like that interview will have to be cancelled because THIS KID is going to LOS ANGELES!!!!!!
Tomorrow is a whole lot of firsts. For the first time in my 24.5 years of life, I will fly alone, I will visit California and I will work on a music video shoot. I will get to do all of those things from Friday to Wednesday. Best Christmas present ever? I think so. Some people go...
Is it possible to meet the male version of yourself? I think that I may have. We’ll see what happens with that one. I always get nervous meeting new guys because I have an overwhelming feeling that they will look at me and think I’m overweight. I am technically overweight but I believe that I carry it well if that makes any sense at all. I am confident in my personality and what I...
Tummyache=soup time
Just made myself some chicken and brown rice soup and a couple of lowfat waffles. Carb city, I know but I’m scared to eat anything else.
I have an interview tomorrow morning and need to be in tip top shape!
Hope you all are doing amazing on your weight loss journey. I can tell you are because ya’ll are looking bangin’ =)
Wahhh- I had a cup of my new fave coffee from Dunkin (Mocha Mint) and I feel like my insides are dying. This happened the last time and I thought it was a stomach bug. I think I may officially be allergic to coffee. =(
The past few meals ingested have not been the smartest on my part. I chose to get a turkey burger with fries for dinner last night and pan seared salmon over mushroom and asparagus risotto today. Granted, I had the points for both of the meals but I definitely could have made smarter choices. I do have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed both dishes and I believe they were worth it.
That being...
lessthan260 asked: there are a lot of types of sushi on eTools, so maybe finding something comparable? On the Plan, Brown & White rice has the same point value (I'm 99% sure) so it would probably be the same as a white rice?
Am I making any sense?
Am I making any sense?
To all my WW buddies
I really enjoy eating sushi and used to eat it all the time the last time I did the points plan. This new PointsPlus is a bit confusing as far as trying to figure out what something is that isn’t on the online guide. What should I be counting a roll of brown rice sushi as?
Food Diary- Brunchin'
Not the best thing for me as far as weight loss but I am far off from being on a normal sleep schedule. I have been sleeping from 1 am until 11 am. I think part of it has to do with the fact that I don’t see why I should wake up early when I don’t have enough to fill up my entire day and I end up feeling depressed and down on myself. Breakfast has been cut out of my day as I sleep...
Weigh In Tuesday
Week 2 Weigh In…..
Total lost this week: 1.2 lbs
Total lost since start: 6.4 lbs!
Pretty proud of this. I was lighter earlier in the week but as always, it doesn’t count until Tuesday. 1.2 lbs is a great victory for steady weight loss. 6.4 in two weeks is outstanding. The best part of all of this is that in the past two weeks, I enjoyed my weekends and the foods that I wanted....
Accomplishments
A few notable accomplishments that I am proud of:
-Chose to walk the mile to the bar last night rather than taking a cab.
-Chose to drink light beer rather than regular beer
-Had a filling dinner last night so I wouldn’t snack at the party I went to and success!
-No drunkenly eating when I got back home
-Switching my meals up so I don’t get tired of eating the same foods all the...
Happy Sundaze
Today was a successful hangover Sunday. Let’s flashback to a month ago. I would be sitting on my couch eating crab rangoon, lo mein and egg drop soup. All of it. I would eat every last bite. After I would convince myself that I felt better and my hangover was cured.
Today is a new me. I was feeling a bit under the weather because I had a bit of a cold as well so I had chicken noodle...
