Coming up with a new plan

Well I think I have finally have had my day in weight court. I've been hovering over the same 200-205 pounds for the past year and it is time, high time, to get off this merry-go-round. I've come to realize that what I did five years ago to lose 40 pounds just is not going to cut it anymore. So I have decided that I need help. And I'm going to take that help in the form of Alli. I've thought about this quite a bit. Now I remember the big rave about Alli when it first came out and then the boos and hiss after hearing that if you eat too much fat then it will come out and quickly. There's no passing gas hoping that nothing comes out with it. Hell there's no wearing light colored pants unless you are really secure in your food intake. My husband has graciously agreed to join me on this quest because let's be honest here, we can't get right if only one of us is on the plan. Besides, I was there when he was at his heaviest and I supported him through his change. So what do I need to do? I need to document like crazy. Like I need to take pictures of my body and measurements of my body. I need to actually write down everything that I put into my mouth. I'm already documenting how much activity I do on a daily basis. The real question is this-- what will it take to have me stay consistent. Will I have to bribe myself to get myself right? Will I have to buy one of those refrigerators with alarms on them? Do I need to buy new plates that are smaller than the ones I have to ensure I don't pile it on? Well whatever it takes, I just know that playtime is over if I want to get right. I can't get right by myself. I'm enlisting an army.

Getting my Grown Woman On

Well I finally did it! I have finally reserved my ticket and space for the Mother/Daughter cruise in May. I'm so excited. Seven glorious days with the greatest women in my life along with one of my good girlfriends. This trip is gonna be even better than when I went to Dallas by myself. I'm looking forward to going away. I never realized how much and I needed to make a run for the border until this time of my life came up. I can't wait to be with my family. I'm working hard to get my body right and I'm also getting my mind right as well. I'm all about making sure I get myself on the right track to enjoying my trip away from my husband and my job. Next week I'm paying off the bulk of the trip for me and my girl and we're gonna be smooth ass sailing. And of course, what happens on the trip, stays on the trip.
