Rambling....

Since I haven't been a very good blogger... and I've had all these millions of thoughts building up that I've wanted to blog about but haven't...I'm gonna just babble a little and see what comes out :)

First of all...I've got all my ducks in a row!! My suit is ordered and should be here in the next day or two....sooooooo.....I can send it off to Jodi so she can work her bling bling magic on it...I can't wait, sooo excited...I rambled off my vision to her and I can't wait to see what she comes up with from my thoughts, it's going to be soooooo pretty I just know it...Jodi is the best!!! And I ordered some new shoes...my last show, during my T-walk my toes had slid so far forward in my so stretched out shoes my toes were overlapping at the end...I could barely walk and that was with two sets of insoles trying to hold my feet back. So this time I ordered 5 inch stilettos...sure hope I can walk in those...but I just had to have them....I love the skinny heel!!

Speaking of love...I got my new meal plan from Tony...it's got almond butter on it...have I mentioned lately how much I love almond butter. Stacey hadn't yet got her meal plan...and she was all like... I wouldn't even want that on mine I couldn't control myself. But heck it's the only thing to love on that meal plan...yep I just sit back with my Tablespoon of Almond Butter and ever so slowly clean the spoon....pure heaven I say!!! I just know with Tony's new protocols and my motivation and drive...I am going to look the best I have yet. I just really have to make sure I am keeping the stress down...getting enough sleep, things that clearly got in my way of leaning out last time.

When I was in the gym today lifting...the light on my blackberry went off...well it had been going off like crazy like it always does because the "Muscle in the City" gals are always chatting it up...but this time I decided to check it...first there was an email from April where she had forwarded her work email that said something like lose weight at work... starting a lunch or after work walking program...and April made a remark about how silly that was because it takes so much more than that...but I guess that's a start :) Then I proceeded to check my other emails and came across an email from Hostess...it said

Now is a great time to think about ways to live a healthier, happier lifestyle, including making healthier choices in what you eat.

With a variety of delicious flavors to choose from and only 100 calories per three-cake pack, Hostess 100 Calorie Packs are a sensibly satisfying way to indulge your snack cravings without sacrificing taste.


Ummm hello since when are 100 cal packs healthy...wheres the ingredient list, somebody find it for me so I can go off....

But guess what... before Tony and my Dreambodies program...I did weight watchers and guess what...I've spent my 2 points on 100 cal packs...and you wanna know why the program didn't work for me :) It's the ingredients people...not only are you spending calories on empty foods that your body has no use for...but your robbing it of opportunities to take in nutrients that will make your body a fat burning, muscle building machine, not to mention I believe the ingredients are addicting. Ever notice how you are more ravished than before you ate the dang crap food...addicting and non nurishing...your body is still screaming for food packed with nutrition...especially if you are exercising...your body is trying to rebuild. Yeah before Tony I didn't know better either...but now that I know better I will do better. I sure wish there were more advertising for the things that do the body good! Like eating clean, getting your protein and healthy fats...AND and let me emphasize...AND... cardio... AND resistance training! You need it all...not just one, or the other but a complete plan...and even that's not enough...you need support, and someone in your corner to fall on before you fall, someone knows how to get you past the mental blocks that keep you where you are at, someone that has seen it all before...knows what to do when it's not working. Yeah I know that someone...and I'm so glad I found him...saved me so, so, so, so, so much more than 50 cents ;) It's called a life, yup...he saved my life :)

And I guess I'll wrap up the rambling for now...I left this post last night for my blackberry...dang thing wouldn't stop going off...and you wonder why I don't blog anymore...dang crack I say ;) Just know I am on FIRE....truly I am....I wish you could be here to see. One minute life is hammering down...I think put me in a hole and cover me up...but my mind, my body, my heart...it's fierce, it cuts right through like a knife and comes out sharper, stronger, brighter than any star in the sky! I'm not just saying that...really it amazes me sometimes how far I've come...it just keeps getting easier and easier...but ohhhhhh I remember, I do remember when it was sooooo hard....trust me I know, I do know!

Oh I'm eating the almond butter too trust me lol...only it's not near as good as yours was. I'm having to make it myself and its turning out like total ass but hey it makes me not want to eat it so that's a good thing lol!

Tina said...

LMAO...I could send you some...I swear the grinder they have at the healthfood store is the secret...they don't add anything but unsalted almonds...and then you come along and grind away :) But then again...it may be better if it tastes like azz...LOL...I'm doing good so far :)

Really this is why I don't sit down at the computer...I'd have had my workout done already had I not sat down here...LOL...just as bad as the crack :)

Angela said...

I love what you said about the 100 calorie packs. I've said all of that stuff so many times to friends and they continue to "diet". At least when I ate crap at Xmas, I knew better! ;-)
