Weight-loss Wednesday/ 4/22/15

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus! My first week of "weight loss" was not very productive. In fact I gained 5 pounds and no, that is not muscle. I went to the gym a few times over the past week and it was great! I felt great and I was trying so hard to keep going. I have always struggled with dieting and I am addicted to sugar. I have always been addicted to sugar, not carbs, I have always loved sugar, candy, cakes and frosting and I have never been able to control myself. I have struggled like a crack head to fight my urge to drop the sugar habit and nothing has worked for me. I know I must keep going and keep trying to fight the good fight against the sugar beast. I also did my BMI this week. I do not really like the BMI calculator because I do not feel as though it takes into account muscle and all that but I am going to share my BMI. I hope by sharing that others will not be ashamed of there weight or BMI. I have always been the girl who says my weight out loud and often again people don't "believe it", but I think its important to share.

Current weight 208
BMI- 32.6

Keep in mind this puts me in the "obesity" group. Although I do not feel like I am obese I have noticed that carrying around the extra weight has affect my energy level, breathing and I have been getting really bad head aches. Over the long winter I gained a solid 20 pounds and I have noticed that the way I move has become slower and the way I move has become a little harder.

Since I have been with my husband I have gained 44 pounds. I am lucky that my husband has always told me how attractive I am and that even though I feel sloppy and over weight he has always been supportive. I think having a good support network is important and it gives you the courage to keep pushing yourself.

So in closing I will keep going despite my 5 pound weight gain. This week I plan to keep my gym appointments I have made for myself and limit the sugar.

XOXO
Samantha

Drug Store Foundations

                           THE BATTLE OF THE FINDING THE PERFECT FOUNDATION So for some odd reason I got it in my head that in the middle of winter with my skin being dry, flaky and breaking out would be the PERFECT time to try new foundations! So I grabbed my coupons and shopped at my local Walgreens and Rite Aid. Walking through the makeup section can be overbearing because there are so many different kinds of foundations on the market. You have full coverage, ageless, photo finish it can be a little annoying honestly. Over the last month or so I tried six different foundations which can all be found at your local drug store. Before we move on I should say that I don't like a luminous finish. I like my foundation and face to be overall matte. My skin right now is dry from it being winter but I also at times can look like I have an oil slick on my face. Each foundation I did use the Two Faced Hangover Primer. ...
