BIG Dreams...

Ok, so those who know me, know that I've always been on the heavy side when it comes to my weight, although recently I've been told by more than expected that I'm not that BIG. Well recently just doesn't cut it, and has been beat out by what I've been told my whole life; that I'm a BIG girl. I suppose that has sunken in. Though I love my curves and my hourglass shaped figure, I can't help but to want to tone it down a bit. I've been this way my whole life, and now I think it's time for a change.

In high school, I lost about 35 pounds and a couple of sizes, but 5 years later, Im just about back to where I was before. Therefore I have decided to create a goal of going beyond the 35 pound mark, because clearly it was too easy for me to slip right back to my pre-loss weight. I know this will be hard, but I'm up for the challenge. I find myself going back to a quote by Pamela Starr, which states:

"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream preceeds the goal."

I've decided not to concern myself with how large this goal may be. I'm just going to do it, and forget the rest since my dream will preceed my goal anyway lol. Regardless, I'm not the worrying type.

So to start off my weight loss, I have purchased the Hip-Hop Abs DVD set. Now this set is great because it doesn't just come with the DVDs. It includes all kinds of guides, and tips to help you reach your goal. After week 1, I've lost 2 pounds. I suppose that if I would've gone a strict one-cracker-a-day diet that my weight loss would be more after 7 days, but I'm not starving myself. I'm currently on the journey of trying to change the way I eat, with comes along with fighting the Fast Food Battle...smh lol. But anyways, just wanted to give an update of what I've been doing with my life. Dream BIG folks!!! :)

My tunes for the day: Ron Artest - Champions REAL SONG (DOWNLOAD LINK)

Speaking of being VICTORIOUS...if you didn't already know, I am a die hard Lakers fan, and they just happen to be THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!! Oww Owwww!!!! Ron Artest, a forward for the Lakers made a song about being the champions. I thought it was gonna be butt at first, but it's actually not that bad...lol Check it out ;)

Another Lesson in Patience

Ok so, it's been a while, I know, I know. I'm terribly sorry, but I've stared working now, so I don't have as much time on my hands as I did before.

Anyway, since I've been working, I've come across another instance in my life, where patience has showed its face and is beeging me to use it. I've never started a journey before, where something goes wrong at every single step I take. This is taking a toll on me, and causing me to very much dislike my job. Well that is how things are going as of now. It's far too much for me to sit up and type, but of course I need to use patience.

A French Proverb says, "Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet."

Once everything FINALLY starts acting right, I'm sure I will start to enjoy my job. After all, it will look great on my resume :) I'm trying to stay motivated so in the end, I will come out victorious...Pray for me...lol

Josh Billings said "Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done."

The pic above is lastnight's dinner. No I didn't make it this time. I was treated to Longhorn Steakhouse by my mother, and what you're looking at is a blue cheese crusted 8 oz. sirloin, mashed potatoes w/ butter, and bacon-wrapped scallops.

When I look at this picture, the only thing that comes to mind is "what were you thinking Angie!!??" Now if you know me, you know that I'm lactose intolerant. Now any other time I would choose to indulge in this delectable delight, I would take my lacataid fast-act pill and be fine, but this time, I have no idea where my mind was, because I neglected to take my pill before I enjoyed my meal.

I woke up this morning to a stomach that was doing back-flips, cartwheels and wind mills, and that's ALL imma say smh. I suppose I failed to see the blue cheese for what it was...CHEESE!!!! I just looked at it as a 'flavor enhancer' for my steak. Because of that, I didn't do what needed to be done (take my pill). Anyway, LESSON LEARNED!!
