Operation SexyBack Day:2

So I had finally grown tired of living life but not living the one I wanted to live, and exisiting within a body that didn't truly represent how I felt on the inside.
I tried to diet and lose weight many times but I always wanted to jump on the fad bandwagon. Some time ago I did a fast from many things and of all the things I gave up, I managed to boot alcohol from my diet. I still imbibe on occasion however I don't drink glasses of wine daily nor do I have a full bar in my pantry anymore. Gone are the days that I can outdrink men, now I am on a two glass maximum.
Yesterday, after a brief annoyance with a man I was once interested in I decided to focus on myself as dealing with others brings far more emotion, conflict and thought to my plate than I care to consume. Realizing this, I mentally cut off all of the men that were teetering back and forth on my see-saw of love and loathing. I considered a mass deletion from my cell phone but my BFF told me I had enough self control to simply...not initiate correspondence. I suppose I will handle each one as they contact me, or not.
All of these things caused me to start Operation SexyBack which is a much needed mommy makeover/attempt to reclaim myself. I never felt I could do this with the abundance of distractions I had. Many of my distractions are now gone so there is nothing else to focus on but me and I am eager to give myself some much needed attention.
The first thing I did was work out to Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD. It was difficult. I wanted it to be over within the first 6 minutes of the work out. I didnt give up however and I saw it through to the end. Afterward, I looked like a wet baby seal and I was satisfied that I worked a sweat. A day later, I am feeling achey in my arms, abs and thighs and I am even more pleased. No progress without pain.
Today, will be another session with the sadistic heroine Jillian Michaels. I will endure her drill sargeant methods of working me out while she saves one fat ass at a time.
I wont be weighing myself... its something that used to totally throw me off as I would define my entire day and level of effort by how many pounds I lost. Instead, I will watch my clothing fit better.
The goal is 40lbs. The date is Feb. 26, my 32nd birthday.
The blog is Thinking Kinky... stay tuned.

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

When History Repeats Itself...

My mom raised three kids on her own. My close friend Sandra's* mom raised two kids on her own. My friend Lana* is a product of a married household. Let me tell you some more facts: I am now a single mom raising two kids on my own. My sister is a single mother raising two kids. Sandra is a single mom raising three kids on her own. Lana is married, with two children and more often than not, a stay at home mom. Lets take a look closer: My husband has always told me that I was destined to be a single mother. It is his belief that I didn't put in the effort required to keep our marriage afloat because I was far too receptive to being a single mother since that was the type of household that I came from. This may be true. I have no idea what a working marriage looks like since I wasn't the product of one. One of my brothers who grew up with my rolling stone of a father informed me that many of the flaws my husband had were the same flaws our father had. I found this to...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...
