Cupcakes, Kids, & Swears

Since my last post, which I'm well aware was longer ago than it should have been, I have in fact started working out.  Go me!  I've been doing it for almost 2 months now.  I've lost only 10 lbs, but I've lost inches as well, which is exciting.  Granted the last 4 days I haven't worked out for a few reasons (yes, I know.  Excuses, excuses!), but I'll be back to grind tomorrow starting a new workout routine that I hope kicks my ass. I've slacked on my workouts the past few days because the first day I wasn't feel that well, so I felt it was more important to rest it up than push myself and risk feeling crappier.  So, that day I consider I had a valid reason to have held off from my workout.  The rest of these past few days were a bit less excused.  As you all know, I deal with depression.  Granted meds are helping me significantly, but that doesn't mean that I don't have off days.  So, I think all these stresses I'm currently dealing wit...

I know this is going to sound like the movie Groundhog Day, but I'm going to start this weight loss journey and I'm going to get myself healthy.  For anyone wondering why I'm making the Groundhog Day reference for this post, check out my first post ever.  Anyways, I'm determined to not just start eating right, but also workout so hard that I look like I dived into a pool fully clothed. I was asked recently by someone who is helping be a weight loss buddy, if I have an event or anything coming up that I could aim for in regards to a short-term weight loss goal.  This is a good question as often these said events (weddings, reunions, vacations, etc.) do encourage people to want to really push themselves to lose weight by a certain date; however, since I have nothing coming up to give me a deadline, I'm just going to do this at whatever pace happens to work for me.  Whether that's fast or slow.  Faster is better because I'd love to see results quickly, but I...

Yes, I'm well aware that it has been a long time since I typed an entry, but I seem to have an issue, from time to time, of starting something and not sticking to it.  Sort of like the diet and exercise routine I was going to start in my previous post.  Over a year later and that has yet to happen.  Anywho, I chose to start back up with my blog because although I'm currently seeing a Therapist (yes, I will get into that.), I feel like I need a place to divulge my thoughts outside of a small room with 1 other person that my insurance co-pay allows me to talk to.  Therapists are great, don't get me wrong, but being limited to an hour every 2 weeks to share my thoughts and concerns isn't helping me get all the madness running around in my brain out enough to keep me a notch below insanity.  See, I'm currently seeing a Therapist for Postpartum Depression & Anxiety.   I had my son 13 months ago, but even with the cocktail of medications I'm on, it's onl...

What a way to title my first blog post, right?  I feel it's fitting though (unlike my clothes).  I've been wanting to start a blog for quite awhile and just didn't know if I should.  It was a constant debate with myself if I would even keep up with it.   Would anyone even read it?  Does it matter if others read it?  Yes?  No?  Finally I said the hell with it and here I am doing my first post.  Now, keep in mind, I have full intention to have this blog be a little bit of everything as I feel like I'm a walking compilation of shit. With that said, let's get into the nitty gritty of my virgin post.  I'm someone who has struggled with my weight all my life.  I spent most of my childhood as the fat kid.  Dealt with a lot of bullying and shedding a lot of tears.   In high school, I was finally done being fat.   I lost a shit ton of weight and got myself down to between a size 4-6.  I felt smoking hot for the first ...
