I Need This Shirt



This really happened today. Maybe just a coincidence that the second time I wore this dress someone asked me if I was pregnant. Or it could be the extra 30 pounds I'm packing lately.

Today was taken to another level though. Someone actually cupped my belly and asked if I was pregnant. I didn't realize what she said at first and tried to shake it off. It put me in a really bad mood for the rest of the day. So, I came home and worked my a&* off to the Jillian Michaels Fat Burning Cardio DVD.

Moral of the story, never wear leggings with a loose dress when you are 30 pounds overweight. That's all.

Schman Strikes Again

Holy Cow, Jillian Michaels can make a work out video. Her new one is 7, yep SEVEN circuits of all cardio. No weights, just straight up movement the entire 45 minutes. It's amazing though. I feel more toned and fit after I do it. Even though I want to die during it. As she says in her 30-Day Shred, "I want you gargling your heart." Yep, sounds about right.

Here's to day 2 of intense cardio burn. Only 1 month until Vegas so I have a little bit of time. :)

New DVD!



I'm in love with the Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred but was looking for more cardio. Neeeeeed more cardio. Luckily, I saw this DVD today. I thought I'd try it out and see how it goes.

Goal #1


So, I'm taking baby steps this time around. I've always struggled with my weight, ever since I was a little girl. It may or may not have been from growing up with a Mexican nanny making me delicious homemade tortillas, etc without many veggies or fruit.

Anyway, I was at a comfortable weight for my wedding (which I worked VERY hard at), then after the honeymoon I just kinda stopped caring. BIG mistake. I gained 30 pounds in 6 short months. My clothes stopped fitting. My face changed. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. So, I decided to join Weight Watchers online. It's been very hjelpful in changing my eating habits. It's really all about portion control. Which I have none of. Control anyway. So one step at a time.

My first goal is to lose 9.8lbs.I'll explain later why the exact number. :) After I reach that goal, we'll discuss the next.

New Blog, New Me

Since I was tired of writing about my weight loss adventures on my blog, I figured I'd start another one. This way, if you care to read it you can. And I get to talk about it all I want.

So cheers to a fitter me!
