Hey All!!
Well, it’s been a great week! Had two interviews that look promising, and, despite Mother Nature showing up, I have managed to stay on track with my jogging! I am, however, staying away from the scale until company is gone, so I will have to move my weekly mini – goal to the end of the month. Into the 180′s by the end of the month! And then on to the Countdown!!
I’m gonna take some time out this post to answer some emails that I have gotten from you all! First of all, hello again to the Diva’s! So far, the SPP Divas have lost a total of 86 pounds!! Yes, WE ROCK! Next week, I swear, I will have the SPP Diva design uploaded – darn JPEGS! AAaaannd I figured out how to use YouTube to post a video, except now the sound doesn’t match the video. This is like a damn job!! I will conquer it tho, be patient! Get that info to Ms. Johnson, and if you havent’ signed up, please do so! The more the merrier!
Ok on to the emails! First, Mr. D, who commented last post: Thanks for stopping by! Gosh, that is a loaded question that would take me a novel to explain, so I’m gonna let Ms. Johnson take that one! Personally, I am cheap, so spending upwards of 80 bucks every other Saturday to get my hair done was out! I have always done my own hair, and I primarily wear wigs now, so sweating for me is no problem. Yes , yes, natural hair, wigs are the devil, I’m just lazy bla bla bla…..Look I’m over forty, I will do whatever the hell I want! 
But, I am sure that everyone has a different story on black hair and the sweat factor- would anyone else like to comment? Again, thanks for stopping by!
Ok! Got a few emails on my last post – What should I do to celebrate losing my 75th (pound)? Here are some of the suggestions:
“You should sit back and contemplate your success in solitude, maybe burn some incense and have some green tea and have a spiritual celebration” – Moonbeam09
Uh huh, OOoook, NEXT!!
“You should get a job!” – Mom
Love you too!
“You should go to Red Lobster, a Steakhouse, McDonalds, and Dairy Queen! And then for lunch….” – Hater09
Just for that, I’m posting another sexy pic of me!
“Eat that!” Bwahahaha!
“You should get a job! You owe me money!!” – Mom – again
I’m saving up for your nursing home..
“You should pick some man-candy from the dating site, put on your sex-ay dress, get a bunch of friends, go to the nearest bar and dance the stanky leg all nite long!” Tracy Your biggest fan!
Why Biggest Fan , that sounds like a plan! So for my 75th pound anniversary, Ms. Tracy will celebrate – and hopefully when we film it everyone will be sober/dressed/ coherent enuf that I can post it!
Allright! Well, as of todayI’m still plugging along, hope all of you doing well too! I can’t tell you how much fun life is after 65 plus pounds gone! I bought the outfit in the new pics last month and I couldnt get the jacket closed! Now,with the help of some Lycra, it fits! I feel like a new person. And I truly appreciate all of the support that has been given to me on this journey, from my family, to my good friends at work (HI LO!!) to strangers that see me walking everyday , to my blogging sisters and Ms. Johnson- I am truly blessed to have you in my life!
Sometimes I look back on some of my posts and go “Gyad, Ms. Pollyanna! Is Everything so wonderful and easy!?!” And the answer is …..No! I would love to be able to eat a whole order of pizza and wings and lay down and nap the whole day. Or skip jogging and lifting and go out for 1 or 10 beers…
But ya know what? I have already done that – I know the consequences of living like that. There isn’t a food that I haven’t tried (or fried). I have lived like that all of my life. 42 years of the same thing – now I am trying something new. And, tho not finished yet, I am loving every moment of it! It is not easy, but it is not impossible either!!
Ladies, gentlemen, anyone who knows what I am talking about here, give yourself a break! Take one year out of your life for change and see how it affects you! Set and reach those small goals, watch yourself change and watch how others respond to your change….. It’s like no other feeling the you have experienced! If I am getting too gooey for ya, I am sorry, but I would just like to you to know about the good stuff that awaits you if you just say yes to your health! and to your dreams!
I’m sure that someone else has some good news too! Let’s hear from you!!
Til next time…YCDI…stanky leg..do da stanky leg….
