Retirement Is Good for Blogging

Twice in one week, how about that!!  Back to the updating.  Around a year ago I decided that I needed to make some major changes in my life.  Clothes shopping wasn't enjoyable anymore, even though you can find amazing clothes for bigger girls, it still sucks having to buy them!!  You get really depressed as you see the sizes go up instead of down!!  When you've been the skinny girl, it really gets to you to be the fat girl!  I think the tipping point was seeing pictures of myself (I rarely let anyone take pics) and not being able to recognize the person in them, with the face that I saw in the mirror.

So a year ago I decided to cut down on beer, there was a bit of a learning curve, because this girl loves her beer!!  In cutting down on the beer, I managed to cut down my overall alcohol consumption (totally not on purpose).

I also started going out dancing whenever I got the chance, it's funny how dancing until 5am will shed those unwanted pounds!!  As of today, I'm down about 50lbs, with another 40 to go.  I don't want to be as skinny as I used to be, but I want to be able to walk into the stores I want, and buy the clothes I want!!  I still have some more work to do, but I will get there!!!!

Cheers,
Not so fat girl

Why hello there stranger...who me?

Where to begin? I never know where. So let's just start with the most recent developments. I'm officially retired, woohooooo!! Freedom 40 became 39 instead. Thanks to the BF I no longer have to hate my job!! And no I'm not a kept woman or a gold digger, just extremely fortunate. Haven't quite decided on what I will spend my time doing yet, but i think I have some time to figure shit out.

In other news, this girl is now winning the battle of my bulge!! No diets, gimmicks, eating disorders or surgery involved. Don't worry, I haven't become an exercise fanatic or given up alcohol, that would be against my better judgement and no fun at all!! The beer has been replaced by vodka sodas, and the only exercise this girl does (other than the tipping of my elbow) is dancing. Food has never been my kryptonite, it's always been beer! It's just so yummy and refreshing! Don't try and fool yourself by drinking the light stuff either, when you drink enough of it (too much to admit without people thinking I needed an intervention) it's not really that "light" anymore!!
Pretty brief update considering how long it's been, but there will be more to come, since I don't have to do that whole working thing anymore!!


Cheers,

Maybe I lied

So I may have lied about being back!  I've tried rather hard to think of things to write and entertain my non following, but I can't seem to get into the groove.  Damn you Madonna!  On the weight loss front, nothing new here except I've changed to light beer (I know the devils brew).  I also find it strange that when I dream about myself I'm always skinny.  Guess I'm a skinny girl trapped in a fat girls body at the moment.  I can't seem to find the motivation to move on a regular basis, I want to sooo badly, but can never follow through.  On a lighter note I remembered one of my favourite toasts/cheers the other night, just popped into my head for no particular reason.  So without further ado here it is.  Here's to you, and here's to me, and if we ever disagree - FUCK YOU HERE'S TO ME!!

Cheers bitches!

Help me please, I need motivation

I've never been one for exercising, even when I was skinny.  Can't stand gyms or any organized exercise programs!  I used to be more sporty and exercised that way, but now I can't do any of that because I'm too fat!!  The sporty stuff I always found more entertaining and enjoyable, but I'm too fat to do that stuff now.  I have to resign myself to the fact that I have to actually EXERCISE, bugger it sounds horrible.  Help!! I need support and the motivation to do it!!!

Being fat sucks,

Oh crap I'm back I think!

So, I've never really gotten into the hang of this blogging thing.  I love reading other peoples blogs, but I can't seem to get the motivation enough to keep up with my own!  Maybe it's because I can't do it at work - damn IT nazi's!!  Maybe it's because I know that nobody reads my mindless drivel, but it's also the pressure I put on myself to be interesting/amusing.  I started this blog as a journal of my weight loss journey, the journey has really not started yet.  Fucking procrastination, the mantra of my life!!  Although I have ordered Tony Horton's Ten Minute Trainer and maybe it'll help more than any other fitness systems for me.

Stay strong fat friends!!

Why is it illegal to kill men?

Damn it, why is it always ok for the man to be a total ass and get away with it? What's good for the goose is never good for the gander! I'm so bloody frustrated with the MFB that I don't know what to do anymore. Why am I never right, and why is he!!! Thank god for 2 t.v.'s and separate bedrooms.

I hate stupid people

Why is it that nowadays no one can make a bloody decision on their own? Or for that matter be proactive enough to solve a small, and I do mean small problem by themselves.

So fed up with CW#1 who has been working with me for 5 yrs and still won't make a decision on her own, she has severe almost bordering on obsessive CYA syndrome. Fuck! My job isn't to sit there all day and answer all of your really stupid and inane questions!!!

CW#2 is a fucking moron! Likes to think that she's much more intelligent and important then she really is. This one also likes to ask the stupid questions, but her CYA syndrome is not as well defined as the other. She'd have to be smart for that to happen. This one likes to question and second guess all of what you say, totally pisses me off. Do what I say, you're not the one that's going to get shit for it anyway!

I don't have time for this crap, and I'm so fed up with their bs that I think it may be time for new CW's.

I'm not saying I'm perfect or never make mistakes, but this really has to stop. I can't kill them, but I dream of it often.
