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...

Building your makeup collection

Many of us see all these fabulous woman on YouTube with these HUGE makeup collections. These woman seem to have every color of lipstick out there and piles of stuff. Let's be real, it takes YEARS! to get that much crap and most of us do not need that much stuff, however us girls need options! First of all I would get your everyday makeup foundation, brows, favorite blush, mascara and a nice lip color or gloss, concealer, these really are the "backbone" and core of your makeup collection. You also do not need to spend an arm and a leg on makeup product to have a great look. If you watch any Youtube or are Instagram many of the looks are created using some drug store products. Also price is not everything. I have spent a pretty penny on some items only to discover that some fora fraction of the cost works even better. So here are my tips for building your makeup collection. 1. Find out what kind of skin you have. Are you Oily, Dry or a combo. I have some parts of me that ...

Failing at weightloss

Hello ALL!       I am posting this a little late because I had set a goal to be 200 pounds or less by the end of the month. I FAILED, not only did a fail but I gained a pound. At first I was getting down on myself, and I wanted to give up...it was in that moment while I was eating some cookies with frosting that I realized I did not really TRY. I did go to the gym a few times and I was doing ok. However late at night I would get into the candy and sweets.So instead of giving up I made a promise with myself. I want and need to be healthy for my children but mostly myself. I want to feel better. I need to feel better. I often eat out of boredom or when I am said. So my goal for May is to be down to 190 pounds, which I think is alot considering I failed my April goal. So I decided I wanted to just be under 200 pounds. I plan on taking the following steps to subside my endless nightly eating I tend to do. 1. I have made a list of things "to do" when I am feeling like eatin...
