My Websites

I have 3 websites through Google pages and I am back to updating those. It is fun to work on but in a way it is hard work. It is a work in process. Today I just added a new link that I am very interested in and that is weddings. I am putting my reviews of my personal experience and others. I am doing my research through theknot.com and other wedding websites. I am only doing this for the Metro Detroit area for now cause this is where I live and I have a lot to work on.

Taking Little Steps

To help me change my bad eating habits I am taking little steps to changing how I eat. I had my first oatmeal in a long time. The last time I had it was when I was a little girl. It's not that bad. I wanna get the Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control. They use it on the biggest loser. Also the Brita water pitcher and Wrigley's extra gum. They also say to drink 1% or skim milk and drink that 3 times a day. It's gonna take a while for me to have these stick but I am focused.

My Inspiration

I forgot how much Christina Aguilera inspires me. I am watching the Back to Basics tour on VH1 and it was just a hour long but I will get the DVD February 6th. She is truly an amazing singer with a voice of an angel.

I knew from the first time I bought her first CD that she would be something BIG.

SparkPeople on Ellen today

I watched Ellen this morning and I seen the 3 woman who have lost a lot of weight cause of SparkPeople. But what they failed to say that they lost weight cause of SparkPeople. I wish they would of advertised this site. It really is a motivation to me and others.

Anyways, Well from where I was before at 259 lbs I have lost quite of bit of weight. Before I would be 250 and then go up and down a few lbs then I finally broke the 250 lbs mark. Now my next weight goal is 230 then after that it will be 190. When I hit 190 then my mom is going to pay or my trip to California and my older sister will buy me a new outfit when I am out there visiting her. So I have a lot to look forward to when I get there or that is if I stick to drinking my water, exercising, and eating healthy.

Out of Control

My eating habits are out of control. I am drinking my water though. But I have to learn to eat healthier and discipline myself from eating the bad foods. Maybe I should get in the habit of counting my calories but I need to know how many I need to eat a day.

Anyways, I can not wait till my gym opens up. I will be going a lot more often then I would my other one. Right now I am watching the Biggest Loser and watching that show really helps motivate me.

Things happen for a reason

Well this year I will be trying to find love. It's been a long time and so I have decided to look for someone.

Right now I am talking to this guy named Josh. I have had him on my MySpace for a while and so I thought that this would be a great oppunity to get ot know him. He seems like a nice guy. He is 27 years old and is from St Clair Shores. He is a big guy but I have looked past looks. Ever since I liked Tom. I have given up on him since I don't hardly talk to him and he's gonna be a Priest.

I hope something comes of this but if it doesn't I believe that things happen for a reason and I will find love when it is time. I have to kiss a lot of frogs to get to my prince.

The Best Thing

Having my Brita water pitcher is the best thing I have ever bought myself. I am starting to drink my 8 glasses of water that I have been wanting to do for a while.

I am starting to figure out what I want to do for my 30th birthday in Vegas. I know I want to stay at the Palms and go to the Ghost Bar and Rain. I an not sure how many people are going to come but I hope a lot. Anyways, I also want to see the Thunder from Down Under. A male strip show.

Quick Update

I just wanted to do a quick update. I have been feeling a lot better but not 100% well. I have started my family memory book. I am putting together all my family pictures then I am gonna reprint the ones I want and then really start on it. This is a HUGE project and it's all for me. I am not doing it for no one.

I gave the ones I already made for my sister and my aunt to them and they loved it. I guess that was a practice of what I can expect from what I am making for me.

I want to take some photography classes so I can be able to use a professional camera like to ones that the professional photographers use. I am looking towards a canon one. I want to be able to take some really good pictures.

Vegas 2009

I am planning on going to Vegas for my 30th birthday. I have been planning this since I became 28. I haven't been to Vegas in a long time and so I think that what a great time to go is for my 30th birthday. Since it's the BIG 30. I wanna celebrate it in style. I don't care who comes but all I know it will be a kick ass party. As the saying goes. What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas.I am counting the day till my 30th and as days go on it will be here before I know it.

Karma is a BITCH

I've been sick for a few days and since then I have done a lot of thinking about my past ex-friends.When I found out that some of them were talking shit behind my back I was really pissed and upset. But like the saying goes what goes around comes around. It's true I seen in with my own eyes and all I have to say is Karma is a BITCH.

From those ex-friends, my friends I have now are 10 times better. I now know what a good friend is and what bad friend is.

Never giving up

I started drinking my 8 glasses of water and have been going to the bathroom a lot today. In a way it's good cause all the toxins are coming out of my body and I am keeping myself hydrated. The weather has been warm but icky. There are serve thunderstorm warning and it's supposed to rain tomorrow. I wanna start running outside soon. I need to get used to running so I can have something new in my life that I can do.

I need to show everyone that have said that I would never lose this weight. I will someday and I will never give up.

Starting from scratch

I made one of my goals come true. One of my goals is to drink at least 8 glasses of water. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today and I bought a Brita water pitcher. it's the one with the 10 glass one. It also has a indicator that tells you when you need to change it. It's the best this I have ever bough for myself. It will have me drink more water again. I fill my water bottle which is 20 oz and I have tasted the Brita water that I put in it and it tastes so good. I was watching one of my favorites show The Biggest Loser and they are also drinking water from this. I have always wanted to buy one of these and now I did. It will be a BIG help for me to losing this weight.

I have to be honest that I haven't been eating all the healthy but I am starting slow and taking it in little steps. My new gym will be opening soon and I am excited. LA Fitness will be opening some time in February. I can start exercising again at the gym.


I am starting from scratch and having a new mental mind focus on getting healthy. My next weigh in is on the 20th and I hope to lose 2 lbs by then. I am now 247 lbs and need to be 245 lbs. My next weight goal is to be 230 lbs.

My worst dream come true when I woke up

Well it's the day of the new year and it didn't go well. I woke up with my worst dream come true. My dad was in a deep diabetic attack and I couldn't help him like I do, so I called 911 and they helped him get back to get normal. This is the 5th time it has happened and I am sick of it. But there were some good looking paramedic's.

From now on I will be watching him and seeing this will not happen again.

New Year - New Me

It's 2008 and I am feeling great. I am sticking to my goals and I am focused. I am going to make this year the best year for me. I am hoping to lose more then 10 lbs this year. I am at 247 and my next weight goal is 230 lbs. I don't have far to go but I know I can do it with eating healthier and exercising.

I also want to try new things like running. This is a whole new thing for me and I am gonna stick it through until I am able to run 3 mile and then if I do that for more then 3 months then I can look to run my first 5k. That is also one of my life goals
