SNOW!!!!
This snow needs to stop RIGHT NOW! My plan for NYE is to drive to my friends house that lives 20 min away. I live in a city so I have to walk about 10 blocks to my car. I will legit cry if I can’t make it there tonight. There is nothing worse then spending NYE completely alone at your apartment.
Here I go to walk 6 blocks in the snow to dye my hair blonde. The things I do to look...

2009 Goodbye Brunette…2010 HELLOOOO BLONDIE
Dammit why does that make me think of delicious brownies? lol
Back to basics
Dinner is back to my old routine:
Turkey burger
Brown rice
Fat free sour cream
Salsa
(missing avocado, it was too fresh to use :-( )

Tears of Joy
I totally forgot to blog about this but it is beyond blog worthy. At around midnight, I hear my BBM PING. I’m wondering, who is messaging me now? I look down and I see that it is my sister. She send me about 4 lines worth of messages.
The summary of what she said:
“You are one great lil writer! I stumbled upon your blog while reading Theodora’s. I am so proud of you! ...
Prezzies!
So today has been pretty productive so far. I had to wake up early and drive to my parents to bring them both to the doctor’s office. I was earlier than expected so I picked up my Wednesday treat of Dunks and headed to the bank. I then dropped them off at the doc’s, threw in 2 loads of laundry and met my best friend for lunch. THEN I picked the parents up and bought my other best...
160.2 UGH
I know I should be happy with this but really .2 and I couldn’t just break it! That was the goal for the last weigh in. Do I feel defeated? Absolutely not. I am so proud that since Oct 21 (I believe) I have lost 16.3 lbs. This was only with 3 visits to the gym (not proud of that). 20 bucks says tomorrow I am 159 something ha!
So I shall start 2009 at a whopping 160.2. Here is to...
That darn WW

I’ve joined Weight Watchers probably 5 or 6 times in my lifetime. I’ve never attended more than 3 meetings each time I joined. Actually, the last time I joined and stopped attending.. I told myself I would never waste my money again. I believe the program works.. I’ve just never actually done the work.. So fast forward to today and me opening up my mailbox to find a free...
See ya 2009!
Tomorrow is my last weigh in for 2009. It is hard to believe that I have stuck with this diet since the end of October. It actually feels damn good that for the most part, I have stuck with this thing like its a new relationship.
It actually is like a relationship when you think about it. You need to plan but not too much to the point you go crazy. You need to think about your decisions....
Fuzzy blankets and candles
Right now, I am freezingg in my apartment so right now it is blankets, tv and nap time. Just need a cute boy to cuddle with…
Breakfast for Lunch again...
Well this only happened because I woke up late. Not sure why but I stayed up until 2 am last night. Guess I am trying to really enjoy every hour of my break. Not enough sleep is no bueno for dieting though, as I have mentioned earlier. I also finally made it to ShopRite. The food list consisted of sweet potatoes, Campbell’s tomato soup, 7% fat turkey burgers, green peppers, broccoli,...
Good Morning My Pretties!
This morning started off with me reading my twitter feed in bed. It was a bit blurry, but my eyes lit up when I read my lovie Theodora has an article in Glamour! Gahh!!!! The amount of excitement I have is indescribable. Well ACTUALLY it can be described as a little kid on Christmas receiving their #1 asked for present. Like to the point where you want to pee your pants, you are so excited!

Need to Save
2010 needs to consist of me saving a ridiculous amount of money. I think this year I did pretty great when I first moved in and then it started getting to be more and more expensive. Eating healthy is definitely more expensive but it won’t be if I buy more food at ShopRite. I may have to make trips weekly to go food shopping to make sure I have fresh food but it sure as hell beats going...
Invite a friend
When cooking a meal, you should invite a friend over. Without realizing it, you will be cutting your portions in half! I started cooking my homemade fries and I asked my neighbor Jon to come over and help me with my new speakers.
I felt horrible eating lunch in front of him so I asked him if he wanted a turkey burger also. He was a little weary because he is a picky eater but he agreed. So...
Starting off right
This morning consisted of a nice cup of coffee brewed from The Donut Shop coffee that my mom bought me with egg whites/fat free cheese/ketchup.
To keep me fuller longer, I put some Special K protein packets into my water.
Now it’s time to make some homemade potato fries with a nice turkey burger. Yummo
Feels good when your jeans fall off of you while you are shopping. Well, at the...
Lost the battle
I lost the battle of the Sunday eating. I was good until I doubled up on my whole grains for the day, followed by a small piece of chocolate, a donut, a chocolate martini, and a slice of pizza. Yup ate it all and I am not even full. I am the definition of a fat kid.
Tomorrow will be filled with lots of walking around town/shopping to return/buy new Christmas presents. It will also be filled...
Cravinggg
I am totally craving something sweet and there is NOTHING in my apartment. What to do what to do? Give in a little or just chug a bunch of water?
Same lunch as yesterday
There isn’t too much of a variety staying at my parents house. They are eating Christmas dinner leftovers or a bunch of processed meats like turkey bacon, sausage, pepperoni. I wasn’t even aware they made that many different types of turkey products lol. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing with anyone eating these while dieting. I however am not allowed to eat any of these...
Can't move
So as I suspected, my entire upper body can’t move due to me playing Wii Fit for about 4 hours. I got a littttle too into it and could not stop playing. I wish I was that way about running. I used to be at least.
Today is an epic day, my scale told me that I was 159.8. That would mean that I am down 16.7 lbs and LOST WEIGHT over the holidays! Can’t get too excited just yet...

Rain Rain GO AWAY! (no but really!)
This rain is totally harshing my mellow. My arm is also currently immobile from all of the Wii playing today. I guess I overdid it a bit. What can I say, I am excited to be super sleak, sexy and fabulous ;-)
I dare you...
To judge me lol. I just ran out to the local grocery store for fat free popcorn! HA. Even when I am at my parents house, I still need to have this. It is one of those things that lets me forget that I am dieting. I sprinkle some of the 2 cal cheese powder on it for some extra flavor and I am GOOD 2 GO! And yes, the only thing I will consume today was the turkey chili with whole wheat couscous...
The Hot Spot
My Jersey Shore name is “Hot Spot,” I’d say that’s about right =)
Busy busy
So I have totally forgotten to eat today. This is definitely not like me. It was probably part of the fact that the food is still in my tummy from the night before. I had a medium coffee this morning from Dunkin and then played with the Wii for a while. Before I knew it, it was 3:45 and I still didn’t eat yet! Woopsies! No worries, I filled up with a protein/whole grain meal.
Took...
Best thing ever
I must say that the Wii Fit Plus is one of the best inventions ever! We bought this for my Dad to use while he is trying to lose weight. He walks almost every morning but gets upset when its rainy out. This will make his workouts a bit more exciting. I have played the Wii Sports before but let me tell you, Wii Fit is a whole new world! I was excited to see that the Wii told me that I am 158!...
Um What?
So I weighed myself this morning after a ridic amount of eating yesterday and it says that I LOST weight? So weird but I’m going to roll with it. Eating will continue to be super tight until next Wednesday and hopefully I can keep the weight off. For those of you that are holding off on weighing yourself, I personally believe I do better when I know the damage that I have done. When I...
Chocolates mmm
My parents got a box of chocolates from one of their friends. Last night my sister consumed about 1/3 of the box. Tonight after dinner, I really wanted a dessert. The chocolates popped in my head immediately. Since that thought process, I have consumed 4.5 bite sized chocolates. I figured this was because I was a little hungry so I heated up my muscles from last night’s dinner.
Full...
Same weight? Woohoo!
After the fantastic meal I consumed last night, I stayed the same weight! Woohoo! Today’s menu comes straight out of Mama’s kitchen.
Prime Rib
Mushrooms in cognac (gross)
Cauliflauer (sp?) mashed potatoes
Steamed asparagus
Dom Perignon champagne toast to another happy/healthy year!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I made out like a bandit this Christmas! Here were my faves:
iFlip!!
Sony 75-300mm lens! (I haven’t shared this too much but I have a passion for photography)
Ray Ban’s
$125 gift card
Hope everyone got what they ever asked for!!
Christmas dinnah
So my Christmas dinner was switched and I consumed a bit more than I would have hoped for. I can tell you one thing, it was totally worth every single bite.
2 pieces of bread (one bruschetta, one cheese bread)
White wine
Mussels in marinara, garlic and wine sauce
1/2 cup of pasta
Half of a Tartufo (ice cream ball basically)
Tomorrow, Mama is cooking up some prime rib, cauliflauer...
Home for the Holidays
Nothing feels better than being home with the ones that you love. My sister and I drove home together, got our nails done and did some shopping for our outfits tonight. We then came home and had some fantastic turkey chili that my mom made. So far my day has been filled with on point filling foods! Woohoo. Cheesecake/champagne…here I come!
Breakfast:
Egg whites
Fat free cheese

Why this time?
Why this time? It sounds like you’ve tried to/successfully lost weight before, but what was the motivation this time?
To be completely honest with you, after losing the 50 lbs successfully and then gaining about 30 back, I felt quite defeated. I would try time and again to lose the weight. I would go back and forth between 10 lbs. One day (the same as when I lost the weight the first time)...

Ask me anything http://formspring.me/startinganewlif
Yup, I am jumpin on this band wagon as well. I figured I would because some people have asked me questions already. You can also ask me something totally random.
If all else fails...
If all else fails (as in the corner store doesn’t support your fat free popcorn obsession), cook up some egg whites with fat free cheese. Well at least that is what I just did. It was a little on the later side but I would rather not be hungry then go to bed with a grumbly tummy.
Anywho right before I went onto my corner store adventure, my roomie asked me if I wanted to go out for a...
Is this even possible?
I am hungry AGAIN after eating my lunch leftovers and sweet potato fries. I am seriously thinking about making some egg whites to eat to hold me over. I hate being hungry more than anything. Maybe I will walk to the local corner store to see if they have fat free popcorn! Weee lol.
Hot potato
Dinner consisted of my leftovers from lunch and sweet potato fries that I made. My sister introduced me to sweet potato fries that are precut and frozen. She said you can buy them at Target for a great price. I could probably try them. Part of me really enjoys taking the time to cut and season them myself. I also feel better about making it fresh because I know what is going into it. We...
Man vs. Food
So I guess they are having a marathon today and since I’m not at work, I am watching tv basically all day (along with packing). To be honest, this show makes me sick to my stomach. This is the definition of America. Let’s cheer on a guy to eat a disgusting amount of food so he can get a t-shirt. Along with this t-shirt comes clogged arteries and probably a heart attack. This shows...
DUNKaroos
It’s Wednesday morning weigh in and my roomie is conveniently venturing to our local Dunkin Donuts. Looks like my breakfast will consist of my fave, egg white veggie flatbread. This is the only one that I am going to have this week though. I have to be tight with my weekly points because my plan is to have a healthier dinner at our local restaurant and then a nice dessert of my choice...
WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY
Ok so I was totally DREADING weighing in this morning. I informed you that for dinner the other night I had a grossly amazingly disgusting meal. Yesterday my eating was beyond perfect.
Breakfast:
Egg white veggie flatbread
Coffee
Lunch
Southwestern Black Bean
Snack
Roasted soy beans (la la love these)
Dinner:
Spicy Tuna Roll
Grand Canyon Roll (consists of spicy salmon, asparagus,...
