Happy New Year!

Jan 01, 2013

I want to wish my OH Family a Happy and Healthy New Year!

It's been a while since I have been on and I miss u all very much. I have been really busy, being a wife, mom and with a new job its been crazy. I have only lost 70lbs had my stalls which I wasn't happy with but I continue to be happy that I have lost the weight. I haven't reached my goal but in due time I hope I do. Shopping is a whole new experience since I keep heading for the plus size section. I have gone from 3xl (shirts) to xl or 14 and 20/22 (pant) to a 12 so weird. Going to Forever 21, The Loft etc is still alittle scary when I think ppl are thinking what is chubs doing in this store but when I put on the clothes I'm like whhooaooaao look at me go girl.

I feel great and love the new me. I will try to stay on as much as possible and everyone looks fantastic

It's been a while!

Aug 08, 2012

Hello my Beautiful OH Family,

It has been a while since I have been on here. The reason for that was there were so many negative blogs (let me say feedback's) on the blogs that I felt that alot of ppl weren't being understood about their struggles and obstacles. That total turned me off . I've missed you all and I used to enjoy being on here . I hope all are well and enjoying life.

So what have I been doing lots of stalls due to getting my monthly every 2 weeks and of course they told me it was because of the WL blah blah blah. I finally made an appt for the GYN bec this is insane. I'm a size 14-16 from a 20/22 L or XL depending on the clothes from a 3XL. I still see the old me which sucks bec everyone has said how much I've lost. I see it in pics but like I said not in real life. My biggest challenge is still my freakin stomach grrr. Other than that I finally fit on roller coaster omg I had such bad anxiety when I went to Six Flags and my husband was like "you got this babe" and sure enough I did . I just celebrated my 40th Birthday and had the pleasure to celebrate with one of our own OH sista's Traci (here4fun712) we are both July babies (see pics) we had a blast. I wear spaghetti straps with confidence which I would never dare in the past. So I am enjoying the ride until I stall. I miss u all once again I hope you are all doing well. Enough for now with my blabbing.
Hugs & Smooches

50lbs Gonnnneeee!

Jun 28, 2012

Hello my BEAUTIFUL OH Family!

It has been a while since I have posted. To keep you up to date. I finally hit my 50lb goal I can't believe it (doing the Whop and Cabbage Patch dance). I have had many stalls which are depressing and I kept telling myself is this the furthest weight that I am going to lose? I see how great everyone is doing many Hugs to u all. I am suppose to go to Six Flags this weekend and I am excited but scared at the same time. 4 years ago I went for my bday and waited in line for 2hrs got on and the harness would not latch and in front of thousands I was told to get off embarrassed and full of tears I never went back. Since my belly is my problem it went down some but not alot. Dr's have said its because of my insulin intake but I pray Lord please let me fit. I have been so busy lately with work. Since my Supervisor quit I am trying out for the position let's see what happens after Monday. Back to my weight loss and eating some days I get full really fast and other days I can eat what gives? Let me stop blabbering love u all and have a great weekend.
Hugs

Now after surgery I get the bitch every 2 weeks either I spot or the flood gates are open. WHAT GIVES! sigh. I will be calling the NP tomorrow bec this is so FREAKIN ANNOYING.....sorry I just needed to SCREAM. Today I have freakin cramps.

Dear Eve,
When I catch your ass I am going to kick it, for not listening and being greedy and making us woman have to suffer. There must be a long line but I am patient and will wait. LOOK OUT EVE.

Smooches,

OMG! 40lbs Gone...

May 11, 2012

Ok I have to admit I am a scale junkie...why bec in the past I never dared to go on a scale. Today I weighed myself not thinking that it had changed but it did. I reached one milestone I lost 40lbs. My stomach is my biggest challenge. I am losing in my ass, legs and arms gah GO AWAY STUPID STOMACH. I have to be grateful that I am losing at least. Like I have said before this isn't easy and I haven't really shopped for clothes. I did buy a size 18 pants it fit but by the end of the day it fit a little lose on my waist but really lose on my ass and legs.  My size 3X is gone and a 2X is lose woot. Let's see if these next 10lbs to reach my 50 goal are easy..crossing my fingers. I hope everyone is well and I send many hugs and kisses to my new family.

Smooches!

Funny Thing...

May 10, 2012

My husband's father owns a window cleaning franchise. So today my husband calls me and tells me "Carmen you have to check out this house we are cleaning". So I hopped in the car and off I went. This house was on the lake yes the house was big but deceiving. He takes me inside and I counted probably 10 bedrooms and idk how many bathrooms a movie theater etc. I see pics of Old School Hip Hop artist..like Dougie E. Fresh, BizMarkie, Salt & Pepa and so on, Biggie Smalls, Eminem, Jazzy Z the list goes on. I was at Jess Itzers (Entrepreneur) home who is married to the one and only Sara Blakely the founder of SPANKX . Did I mention yes SPANKX. So of course she wasn't home because I was gonna def hit her up for a pair or two...haha. I have been trying to find those damn things everywhere guess I'm gonna have to shop online.

Just wanted to share my little cool ass story...Did I say ass lol

Mad Lib..love this

Apr 21, 2012

Face it, (your name), your about the greatest thing since (favorite food). No one else can (verb) like you can. Your best friend says your the (adjective)-est person in the world. Sure, you once (embarrassing thing you did), but you also (honorable thing you did). So (favorite endearment), today is the day you're going to stop beating yourself up for being (negative adjective) and start loving yourself for being (positive adjective), (positive adjective) and (positive adjective). And if people give you a (adjective) time, just tell'em they can take their (noun) and (verb) it up their (body part)!


Copy, paste and fill in..have fun I did!

Zumba

Apr 09, 2012

Hello my beautiful OH Family,
I joined Zumba last week and WOW I love it. I get my dance on and my work out at the same time. By the way you sweat ur ass off..hehe. I'm going twice a week and can't wait to go tomorrow. No lie I was a little sore the next day but it was a good sore and I can't stop talking about it and telling ppl to join. The class was full with ages ranging from 20 - 60 and all shapes and sizes. So you don't feel like your working out with skinny minny and feel uncomfortable. There is a funny to this all my life as a Puerto Rican I LOVE DANCING SALSA AND REGGEATON, but at Zumba I had 2 left feet and I cracked myself up about it. I was like "what the heck happen to my feet and hips". I suggest if you want to have some fun while working out join Zumba its a blast.

HUGS
