Round 2 of Bringing Sexy Back!

So I've been exercising regularly and trying to eat better since April (about 7 weeks, this week made 8) and I've seen small changes. Face getting smaller, I can see my collar bone, arms more toned, my legs are definitely stronger and are looking a better, my ass is starting to sit up higher, my waist is shrinking, and my stomach has less of a round pregnant woman look to it, lol. My stamina during exercise is getting better even though I've really never had a problem with it.

As far as my diet changing I'm having less breakouts and the dark marks on my face are getting a lot lighter, and I'm more regular (TMI, I know, lol).


I know I'm getting used to all these changes because it starting to become second nature to me, as far as exercising even when I don't want to and not putting certain foods and drinks in my body. (Sugar, carbs, all that bad stuff in moderation) I actually have a hard time finishing the food on my plate because I get satisfied faster. I must admit I have been flubbing up a little but hey it was my birthday weekend but I'm getting back on track.

I'm actually enjoying doing this weight loss thing the right way, it feels good because the changes in my health lifestyle aren't so drastic that I wont fall off the wagon the moment I eat a pack of M&M's or something with bread in it. I'm learning my body, and it's kind of fun to figure out what foods and exercises work for me. This is definitely a life change and I don't mind it one bit because when I'm in my 40's I'm going to be one of the hottest mom's on the block, lol.

Besides all that I found out a lot of the things I'm doing now is setting me up for a healthier future as far as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and so on. It's funny because I thought when I was diagnosed with PCOS that I'd have such a hard time getting my body on track but I realize that it's just a stepping stone which is encouraging me to live a healthier life. I know the way I want my body to look isn't going to happen over night and it's something that I have to maintain and work hard for and it's making me happy that I have the support of the people I love. *Vato*


I'm adding jumping rope and more yoga this week, I'll keep recording my progress on here to keep me motivated!!

Vingt et un!

SO I'm finally 21, it just feels really good to say...and type. I spent the weekend in Las Vegas and although I didn't get to see the Aussies (Thunder Down Under) review, lol, I did have a fabulous time.

My mother, my good friend D and I spent the weekend in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and gambled and drank our little hearts out (well at least I did and mom hit 1G with one pull of the slot machine off of $20!). The casino section was filled with smoke and I could have sworn I smelled some green, lol, and a lot of drunk folk It was quite funny actually until this man bumped into me, dropping his $30 verre du vin, nearly cut my foot because there were shards all over my foot and red wine spilled on my WHITE leather heels. Then had the nerve to say, "Well thanks!" WHAT?! I could have went off, but I wasn't about to let him ruin my night or my blissful tipsy stupor...anyways the pathways in the hotel were like the coble streets of Paris with the ceiling realistically painted as the sky and restaurants modeled as store fronts. A lot of good French food (crepes, a boulangerie, Le Burger Brasserie, Le Village Buffet), and entertainment (piano wars, standards singing really good classic oldies). The Hotel was corny to an extent but done very classy and the decorum of the hotel was fabulous.

We visited the Bellagio, Bally's, the M&M store, and the Mile of Shops. In the middle of drones of tourists, we managed to make our way down the strip, it's beautiful at night, kind of like a more subtle version of forty deuce in Manhattan.


All in all, May 24th, 2008 was a great day, I got to spend the day with the people I care about and I was happy to listen to all the voicemails and emails wishing me a happy birthday upon my return so thanks to those of you who did!
