My current weight  is 165. Havent weighed  myself in months. My muscles are growing,Jos my personal  trainer is the truth. Inever knew i could be so physie strong until I began..and I look forward to every workout, and feel like i cant make it thru, each one. AND I DO,DID, and will be Bikini ready

So this week is coming to a close. And it has been one amazing  week. I am preparing to submit my before/after story. Just getting my pics together. 

The universe has been aligning things for me..And I am closer to full enlightenment. I am getting used to not being comfortable, bc for me staying too long in comfortableness is equal to "safe place". Stay to long and I will go thru life, simply existing.  NO! I want live. 

I wanted to write a book about my life since 12, I journaled way back then, as detailed as my nurse's notes. 

I have been invited to share my story a few times..And each time, I would start, then those pesky negative/fearful/doubtful thoughts wld start or my life was just too busy. I keep all my journals, and compare my current self to former self. I even have a friend that has a book being sold Amazon  She has directed me in a direction. SO WHY NOT! I have always adapted and done many things scared. Fear will not stop me. 

So what had happen was,lol-

I made the decision to go with my daughter with her cheer squad, to New Orleans this last weekend. However, her dad and I decided we werent going. To send her. My mother usually  attend the events, bc I work a baylor option(32 hours,equal to 4-8 hours shift back to back-3p-7a sat and sun and get paid a extra 8)

I work 2 hrs and 15 mins away from where I live. I been doing this since August 2018. Along with running my tax business and financial budgeting business) Jan-Oct, and raising  4 children . As a single mother. Co parent help financially,(which is great). 

But money doesnt give my body peaceful uninterrupted  sleep, bc the kids live with me. So YEA, some one is shaking their head in agreement. 

Anywho,lol. we chose to go at the last minute. We stayed at the hotel where the Houston Rockets stayed(unknowingly) ending up in the elevater with HAYDEN-OMG!!! Before the game,leaving the hotel.

The girls got to go meet the Pelicans and sit courtside  for a while..take pics and things. 

Then men, and boy got to go in the tunnel, and meet the players(Pelicans). 

Then our cheer team, got to be on t.v Eastern Morehouse  Allstars. 

Driving home monday..Just more good news. And even all this week. So the email comes again, to invite me. Im excited, and feel this is another step to where my future is going..

New job offer, by mistake.  Called the "wrong person" which was me..However, I would like the opportunity to take care of this patient. (I am a pediatric LPN).

Didnt plan on working with kids,that just happened.  And it brings me so much joy.

Im single, finalized its really over. Gave it my all, he didn't..I deserve happiness. To wake up next to some one who loves me and treats me, the same or preferably  better.  My new husband will read this article, run a publishing company (and see it). Contact me and it will be MORE  than, I ever expected or dreamed.  

I love my life, once I accepted the weirdness  of it. I became to love being me. Cant write my best seller, without the information!!

XOXO,

Ms Nikki????????

I really wanted to share my story, I got super excited and then cold feet set in.. So short version update. 

What have I  been up too? Working, taking photos, LOTS of dancing,lol.

I eat what I want, just so happen I dont want carbs.I still follow keto diet. I do eat high carb meal maybe once a week. Rice,love it still. 

And seriously  considering  arm surgery.  Just dont want those Long, Horrible  scars. Im gaining more strength, advancing  in pole dancing  lessons. But I really hate my arms. My body, is responding  well. I even have a 6 pack outline  a few more  months of weight lifting,  and cardio  should tone me up further. 

But my arms( bat wings) are not, ...

There has to be rain to have a rainbow. 

Hey Hey Hey!,Down to a size 4! And finally consistently weight lifting.Guess what I did today? I ran! OMG, I have been getting my mind ready for actually doing it. Lots of meditation and visualization. I was mentally afraid of my knees blowing out. I'm still 288 in my mind! Me and the hubby got the dog, and we usually walk a few blocks. Today the last 2 blocks ,something said RUN!! I shocked our dog by sprinting off!

A true milestone. And its true what is saod about running, it was awesome! 

Now I can add running, to my list..I line dance, I'm taking pole dancing classes, lift weights and use my bowflex max trainer. Gettn my 10Gs of steps doesn't count that's mandatory now. 

The hubby is even slimming down. My weight loss had started to drive us apart, like so many. He was an enabler I was always confident and beautiful(for my size*eye roll). But to be able to wear WHAT I want,and truly be comfortable with my body.

Boom its a different type of confidence. It has been rocky reconnecting. But now I'm so light and active. I can DO more than sit and watch. 

Its mind over body,and no fear,no regrets! If I can do it anyone can.

**My knees were fine, they never ache anymore- I just think they will.  Have a dancetastic, twirleriffic Day!

The struggle is real. Down to 182. I am now reaching for 175lbs.  And looking to have an arm lift and BBL, and breast lift. I dont want implants. 

Dr.Vitenas (who did my body lift, which afterwards I gained to 288!) quoted me 15,700 for the arms and breast lift with implants. 

I'm scared of the long term with implants and have been doing research for MONTHS.

I am a member of realself.com and have came across Dr Baez( the woman) and saw her work and a few other doctors in the Dominican Republic. Of course there are the pros and cons of surgery abroad. 

Her work looks amazing and her reviews are great. 

And I'm waiting on a quote. But with the U.S Dollars being almost $50 in DR peso. Hot damn! That makes the decision harder.

Anyone with info please,please, let me.know

I am 224 days since my surgery! And a loss of 92 pounds. I am proud of myself. Still following high protein low carb diet. 

I weighed myself tonight, yes I know that inaccurate but I have been avoiding the scale. Lol. 288 presurgery preliquid diet. Tonight 237, but I will weigh in the morning after voiding and see if there is a difference. 

I finally have enough confidence to join a gym and do some weight lifting,57lbs more pounds to lose and I'm getting a breast lift(no implants) just a naturally lift. For that perky,braless vacation. Say what????????.

Getting vacation ready,yass. 

hey all! Happy new year! 

I'm down to 240! And still having those nagging stomach cramps here and there. Still managed to get the flu :( that was awful. 

But feeling better,eating some and released for full activity!

Hey there. Happy new year! Happy new you! I know its a rollercoaster ride. But hey We stood in line a long time waiting to get on!

I had surgery Oct 28,2016.

Someone (dietician) told me to start counting from the day I woke up in my own bed. 

Now,after speaking with my nurse about my upcoming appt. I was informed that today makes day 19 for me ???? Say What?!

She was yes ma'am. The First day after your procedure is the day We Count BC it counts! You wouldn't start counting how old your new baby is from the first day he/she woke up at home. Right?!

Well hell Y'all dietician told me to count day one when I woke up in my own bed. I have more to say on that,but I will save my opinion and just say. If someone feels incompetent to you,even if they have a title-ALWAYS VERIFY their info. IJS. 

I'm not even following the diet she gave me BC it was out dated,printed from a website,compiled,stapled and handed to me for $45 and a pitch to buy high vitamins from her- H**Nawl- And I say that with all my Louisiana creole accent and drag in my voice!

The diet I am following is from my GI/Endo surgeon. He is amazing and I have a long standing relationship with him. 

Dr.D,who did my surgery, I have only seen him 1 time in office and then the surgery and at discharge, and now for my follow up appt. 

My surgery went well no major complications (I won't dwell), but he is 4+ hours away. This will be my last time seeing him. For the whole 10-15 I'm there. 

Sooooo, I needed someone I trusted that has taken great care of me in the past. 

I'm doing great. Still holding things down with no problems. 

I can drink out a straw,it doesn't make me gassy or bloated. I actually prefer that,when I drink without a straw,then I'm gulping, to each is own. 

No food getting "stuck" and other things I have read. Other than that stomach virus ???????????? I have had no issues AT All. 

And enjoying the rest of my "recovery"- My nerves aren't ready for the stress of work, once I took off and that obligation was gone I started to feel better mentally and once that virus ran its course,I have felt great everyday since!! ????????????????????
