I am bored now that I don’t eat all of the time. Really?! I was wasting that much time eating?! I truly had no idea how much I snacked. Yeah, WAY TOO MUCH!
I’ve taken up a few activities to help occupy my time:
1) I’ve started playing the keyboard again. I’m writing licks. I’m singing. It’s awesome. I’m learning how to play The Office theme song.
2) I’ve started blogging! Hello people out there in TumbleLand! I love you guys! xoxoxox
3) I’m cleaning more. Excellence. Clean house. Clean mind.
4) I’m writing more. Scripts. Poems. Book ideas.
5) I’m playing with those crazy kids more. Hehehehe! I love those lil punks!
6) EXERCISE! YES! It’s time to tone.
7) I’ve been thinking positive thoughts and dreaming up awesome ideas of things for me, my family, and friends to do.

Advanced Style Film
This is a long trailer for the upcoming documentary about stylish New York older ladies. The documentary is planned to come out in the summer of 2012
This trailer makes we want to age. We live in a world where age is a topic that we dare not speak of- unless it involves a cure to reversing it. Age gracefully and never lose your sense of fabulous. Live life to the fullest.
“I am dressed up for the theater of my life, everyday…”
“If someone doesn’t like what I’m wearing, I don’t give a shit.”
I lost 4 lbs this week! Holy flicking crap! What did I do differently? I cut out salt almost completely, & I eat greens & beans with every meal.
What I’m doing works! I’m down 35.5 lbs!
I love this list! Bring it on Farmers’ Market!

Here’s my current “during” photo at 192 pounds.
I have been alternating 2 pairs of sweats (go Chicago Bears & Detroit Tigers!) & a pair jeggings as I lose weight. All my jeans are too big, my old tights fall off of me, & I’m so fucking sick of sweats! They are fine for bed time, but I was starting to feel like a slob. I want to look pretty & not wear jeggings! So, today I bought a new pair of jeans. I took a size 11 to the dressing room & they fit! I used to wear a 15/16 & even they were too small this summer!
Hello success in the size 11! I’m down 2 pants sizes.
Deep breath…I had been very tentative to show a before photo, because I was so embarrassed of my weight gain. Here it is. Out on the internet for all of the world to see. Here’s the 218 pounds that were plaguing my knees and my mind. Just think that I had been even heavier than this! Hot damn! Look at all of those bad food choices. You can see them right there. Right there in my gut. It’s like someone had just blown me up.
In this photo, I was getting ready to attend the premier of the film East of Nowhere. I had a hand in making it possible. It was an excellent indie film. It was an honor to see how far it had come from when I first read the script.
I’ll post a now photo later.
I am a pretty girl, but I’ve never been “thin”. I’ve always been curvy, muscular, athletic, or just flat out…thick. I was always told that I was built the way I was because of genetics, bone structure, and a slow metabolism. Those statements are lies. I can lose weight. I am losing weight. I’ve lost a great deal of weight since I changed my life. I’m up to a total loss of 30.2 lbs and 20 since I switched to Dr. Fuhrman’s plan in his book, Eat to Live! And it’s all due to eating only VEGETABLES, FRUITS, BEANS (with one serving of whole grain a day) and NO SUGAR!
I tried so many different ways to lose weight. I tried crash diets only to gain back more weight. I’d tried diet pills and felt like I was on speed. I tried eating smaller portions of “whatever” I wanted and never succeeded. Flat out not eating worked and/or working out obsessively worked as well, but I still didn’t get down to super model thin. I never thought it was possible. Nope. Never ever. Do you think I’m being a bit premature saying this? Well, I don’t. This is the first time I have ever been fulfilled and been losing weight. That’s the key word: fulfilled. I didn’t think it was possible. I have watched family members struggle with weight. My mom had gastric bypass surgery. Most of my father’s side of the family is obese. I saw my impending age as a life sentence for obesity. IT’S NOT TRUE! I just had to change how I perceived food. I now see it as for NUTRITION. It’s not a remedy for emotional pain or boredom.
I’m doing well. I’ve lost another pound.
I have a question for you:
if you had to be labeled would you be a “hero” or a “villain”?
I have been thinking about this all day. I don’t really know what I would be, but here’s what I do know: I know that I have a good heart and a strong mind, but I don’t always choose the route that everyone else is taking. I suppose it all depends on point-of-view. So, what would you be?
