still here ... yeppers

still at it counting dem points 

oops wrong Count 

tee hee 

Weight Watchers does NOT go quickly, but I am okay 

with slow 

It gives me freedom to eat 

have some variety in my diet 

not obsess so much about my fitness

kind of relax 

and take it slow 

chillin 

as long as I have a weekly loss 

got in 2 Orange Theory workouts this week 

today I am just going to go for a walk 

4 mile loop around the neighborhood 

yes siree 

just going slow 

the scale will come down 

#becauseitworks

oh by the way bye bye 1.6 pounds 

week one in the books 

It's okay

I don't deal well with stress

I used to drown my sorrows.... 

ahh literally as in booze 

now I do food 

yep last night I had a date with massive amounts of popcorn 

and a rice cake loaded with Peanut butter 

but the good thing is 

Right back at it today 

I will still record a loss on weigh in day on Friday 

and I was reminded why I used to have massive amounts of Sugar free popsicles and 

sugar free jello in the house 

I stress out 

I have to be prepared to deal with it and not 

pretend I am someone I am not 

onward and downward 

reality vs fantasy

reality: I started WWers Friday 1/16/15 (again) because I have regained 20 pounds 

fantasy: I have been eating to maintain my 60 pound 2010 weight loss 

reality: size 10 pants and none of my work clothes fit

fantasy: no one notices 

reality: weight loss takes time 

fantasy: what??!! my pants aren't loose yet... 

I have been doing this for what? 

.... ahhh 4 days 

reality: I am winded walking up and down the stairs all day long 

fantasy: I am winded because I am soooo fit and tired from all those 

work outs I do... it must be just fatigue 

reality: this is a SLOW process and it takes TIME

you have to put in the time and the results will be there for me 

stay off the scale, only weigh in once a week.... relax 

fantasy: what? I haven't lost those 20 pounds yet!?  

awe dang... 

yeah it is reality 

takes time 

stay off the scale 

keep going 

be nice to myself 

be patient 

be kind 

I will get there 

real quick

food good 

exercise good

need to get some sleep now 

egg white sandwich

apple

Emily bites pizza and veggies 

morning smoothie 

soup 

tonight's exercise

nighty night  

Recapping Sunday

4 egg whites on a bagel thin 

and an orange 

yes siree eee I demolished this here box of yumminess 

oops 

I got in a good work out today!!

47 minutes in the fat burning zone 

add green and orange = fat burning minutes 

or so they say 

came home and got my Ninja on 

frozen berry mixture

unsweetened almond milk 

whey 

love me dat Ninja 

high-Ya ---> smoothie time! 

yep I just went dork on yo ass 

okay okay... calm down Karla 

this broccoli soup saved the day today 

I might have had a few bowls ..... ah 3

BUT they are only veggies and broth 

cooked and blended 

super simple 

hubby made a grand dinner 

I didn't eat the stuffing 

the points were high today 

I need to hold it tight for the next few days to make sure 

Friday I record a loss 

with this new Points plus plan 

all the yummies 

have a high point value 

It's their evil plot to make us healthy!! 

frozen yogurt = 12 points 

Vitatops = 3 points 

dang 

that's okay ... 

I will figure it out 

BUT I will include my Fro Yo 

and a few Vitatops 

just not on the regular 

in it to win it 

Yo baby

I also accounted for some strawberry faux 

ice cream I will have tonight 

Arctic Zero and strawberries in the Ninja

I don't want to be a wreak

so back in 2010 and 2011 when I was doing amazing and blogging almost daily I used to read a few blogs 

and it always seemed these ladies were struggling 

like daily 

struggling struggling struggling 

and I used to wonder why? 

why did I read their blogs? they didn't inspire me but I was drawn to their posts... 

and it dawned on me 

it is like lookie loo's on the freeway 

wanting to see the wreak 

so as soon as I realized that I stopped following them and 

looked only for inspirational bloggers to follow 

guess what? 

 I have become that wreak!! 

that is all I can figure out why anyone would read this dribble of mine 

I have been struggling ALL of 2014 

then yesterday I rejoined (for the bazillionth time) Weight Watchers 

but it was strange .... it was an old user name I had from 2009

and it kind of showed me 

yeah so what if I keep trying Weight Watchers.... 

for some reason 1/1/2010 things just clicked for me 

kind of like a wake up call 

yo... wake up Karla 

it's okay to fall

it's okay to struggle

don't give up 

keep on trying 

you can do this stuff!!! 

then I saw this on Instagram and I retyped it for my refrigerator
