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

Thrift shopping

Thrift shopping can be the best and worst shopping experience in your life. You either find cool, trendy, unique and vintage pieces or you end up wasting your time shifting through clothes. I personally enjoy what I call the "hunt". Yes, while thrift shopping I feel like I am hunting for a rare animal! I always went to second hand stores as a child not because I wanted to but because my mom couldn't always afford new clothing. However it taught me that I could be dressed just as cool if not cooler than those who blew hundreds of dollars at the mall. Once I became an adult I went from going to Goodwill to going into second hand stores that sold higher end clothing. The method of finding perfect pieces was the same... I will forever be the huntress! Here are some key things to think about and do before you go on your thrift hunt. 1. See what you got!     Shop your own closet first. Do you have things that you never wear anymore? maybe to big or to small? If its in season...

E.L.F Disappointment

I am annoyed and disappointed! I LOVE my Makeup Forever HD setting powder and I have mentioned it in my past favorites but honestly I was looking for a cheaper alternative. I have seen awesome reviews for the HD setting powder made by E.L.F. I was not impressed with the packaging. I opened the box and took off the plastic cover, that day I used the powder was fine. The next day however when I went to open the container there was a mess everywhere. As a hair stylist I wear a lot of black and this shit got all over me! I was so annoyed with the powder being everywhere that I didn't even use the product. I'm sure it works great if you can get past the mess and horrible packaging... so that means I am still on the hunt for a hidef setting powder! Xoxo Samantha
