Becky Boo’s Weightloss for LIFE

Good evening, Buddies. O, Lordy, what a weekend I have had. And nothing bad, either ! Friday night me and two of my girlfriends went out and about in our hometown. We went to 4 different places and had a lot of fun. I stayed up way too late and drank way too much. I made a pact with Jeff that we r not doing the drinking thing like we have been ALL summer. The partying is kind of getting out of control and I don’t want to develop a PROBLEM. So, this weekend begins my pact that the summer fun is over (and it was so fun!) and reallife resumes. U know what? reallife is going REALLY super right now so I am totally ok with it. I stayed at Jeff’s Saturday and, big step, it is the first time he has let me stay there when he is gone to work. You guys, it was so funny. I woke up, saw the clock said 8:15, pnaicked, JUMPED (literally) right out of bed and ran down the hallway freaking because I was late for work… I grabbed my cell phone and I hea rJeff laughing out loud in the bathroom bruushing his teeth. I put my head in my hands walk right back down the hall and climb back into bed and ask him, “I don’t have to work today, do I?” And he says, “Nope” as he continues to laugh at me. It was classic you guys! I slept in after he left n it was awesome. I havent slept in in months. I went home and decided to, again, go shopping! I went on a spree you guys. I got a few pair of jeans and a ton of tops and a CUTE jacket and a pair of black ballet flats for work. So much fun to shop for fun clothes and to be able to have almost anything I try on. I can’t tell u how much fun I am having with it! I havent been able to wear what I want and feel good about what I look like in SOOO long. I want this for EVERYONE. I weighed almost 300 pounds not long ago. And now, I am LIVING. This feeling is so remarkable. I feel on fire and in a good way. We were sitting outside at a bar Friday night and my two girlfriends told me, “Becky, you have arrived!” I really can’t get over how much happier and in love with life I am now. I feel so blessed. I don’t wanna say lucky because I know that I have worked hard to get this far and am still going, but it just feels amazing. So Saturday my bff and I went out to eat (Mexican, of course!) and then to a bon fire. I had mentioned before that Jeff’s best friend was shot in a driveby in STL in 2000. Every year his parent’s throw a barbeque at a local park on his birthday. So Jeff was WASTED at the bon fire. I had to keep it mild so I could drive him home later. He did end up sobering up a bit later but when I got there, WHOA ! U kno, I dont know why, but everyone is so interested in knowing about me n Jeff and whether or not he and I are together. The guy whose bon fire it asked me as well as one my the guys that is both one of Jeff’s close friends as well as my ex’s close friends. The latter was like, “Look what you have to deal with tonight.” This wa sin reference to Jeff’s level of intoxication. And I was like, “Me? Why me? What does his drunkeness have to do with me?” And he says, “Ok, whatever Becky.” So… it is def not a secret anymore. And why should it be? So we came back to my house cause my bff was staying at my house. We stayed up til like 4 am watching DVR’s Sons of Anarchy episodes and then went to sleep (except I left n went to Jeff’s…). So I slept in til like 10:30 this morning and then we watched some tv. My friend took care of my pups for me before she left my house I told Jeff that I couldnt keep spending so much time at his house like this, that I have my own home and I like it there and my pets need me to be there with them more, blah blah blah. He agreed with me and said he understood. Course everytime I went to leave, he begged me not to. I left tho and then later we went to eat Vietnamese food in the city. It is my fave and he had never had it. HE LOVED IT! I was so glad cause I LOVE eating it and the EX did NOT like it at ALL! Then I took him back to his car and I went to Wal Mart. And tonight, Jeff came by after band pratice to watch tv with me for a few hours So he is trying to be fair. His legs are really bothering him today and I explained to him that he really must do his best to take better care of himself. I kno he is taking his MS meds cause he has shot marks on his tummy but he is eating shit, smoking alot, drinking alot and finally just started going back to the gym. So this is how we agreed the drinking from this summer STOPS. I am happy for this cause I am starting to feel like I have a drinking problem and I know I dont want or need that. So, it was nice spending time with him just curled up on the couch. I know this has been a LONG blog and it is for me to get it all out cause this weekend was really jam packed and busy and fun and now I am tired and have the week ahead of me and just kind of want to relish in my happiness. This damn ball best not drop cause I am LOVIN life. N why am I SOOO excited that I got a little 5 cup coffe pot today that is prgrammable?!?!?!?!??!?! I am just REALLY excited about it And I got a new coffee cup from Starbucks today. I am such a nerd, I know… Well, I hope you are all doing well andmaking WONDERFUL choices!

Holly said in a comment that I WOULD show a loss today and she was CORRECT ! ! ! The scale was down three pounds today from last Friday’s weigh in so I am at 182, that is a TOTAL loss f 96 pounds. I can’t believe how close to 100 TOTAL pounds down I am! Once I get to 178. That is where I meet the 100 pound mark. It is raining here today, suppoed to all day I think. I will have to leave the doggies in the house. Boo! Well, I hope you all have a GREAT day and are making good choices. I will be thinking of you as always ~~~

Well, I can’t believe it is Friday already tomorrow. My days have been gonig by so quickly. Don’t get me worng, I am SOOO pleased it is Friday tomorrow, esp since I am off this weekend Jeff grilled outlastnight. I saved a crap ton of calories for it but still went over… It was good stuff so it was worth it. I am on track with calroies today so far but I am not feeling a loss for tomorrow and this morning, the scale is actually up two pounds. But, I KNOW I have NOT consumer enough calories for a gain. I do this every time… Hee Hee Hee. I have fun things planned for this weekend. My friend and her man just broke up so we r going to go out together tomorrow, sans any men or boyz. Then Saturday the same friend and I, including Jeff, are going to a birthday bon fire. It should be fun. And that should just about do it ! I thank you all for your support, encouragement and compliments. they motivate and inspire me and it is very much so appreciated

Good Morning, Buddies Well, I did great with my food choices yesterday, minue the doritos but they fit into my calorie range so no worries there. after I blogged, I made tuna with mustard and no sugar added bread n butter pickles. they are made with Splenda and tast a tad different but worth it to have a filling meal with the only calories coming from the tuna. I eat it right outta the bowl so no bread or crackers to be had. I did use two cans of tuna so I wasnt hungry. I dont even miss the miracle whip or mayo, either. U shoudl try it. If u liek tuna. Or u could used canned chicken I guess. then I was hungry again a little later so I had a string cheese. Then my sweet tooth called me and so I made some peaches n cream instant oatmeal. And drank pleny of water too. Jeff called after that and he likes to make up silly excuses for me to come over instead of just out right asking me to come over all the time. I think it is because he knows we spend almost every evening together and, being a man, he doesn’t wanna be the one to wanna be around me all the time I told him he is Sooo junior highschool ! He had to agree… Of course, I want to be with him all the time too so I settled my fur babies in for the night and headed on over. He is into Horror movies and such so we watched that Rob Zombie movie House of 100 Corpses. I am not really into them myself but this one was actually alright and I liked it. then there is a sequel to it, forget what it is called? I tried watching the first ten minutes or so and then I was ass out asleep. I woke up after having a CREEPy dream and was like, I have to go to sleep. Of course he suggested “why don’t u just crash here?” And so I went straight to night night til 6:30 this morning when I woke up completely REJUVENATED. It may have been one of the BEST night sleeps I have had ALL summer. I am feeling really good today. It is beautiful out and I have been quite productive so far today at work. The days seem to be going by so quickly and I am just feeling really happy and motivated. Fo rtoday at least, hahaha ! I am a bad girl and have only had coffee so far today. I am not an every day breakfaster, I never have been shy in admitting that guys. It has been this way my whole life. Somedays I do, others I don’t. Once I get off of work, I am TRULY going to mow my yard tonight and work on my homework for Monday. I ordered my textbooks lastnight on line and have no idea when they will grace me with their presence. I wore a pair of mew slacks today to work. My co worker complimented me on them, saying they looked really nice. I get tired of wearing jeans everyday so I am glad I bought a few pair of dressier pants. Ok, I have blabbed on long enough. I hope u r all doing well—and happy that it is the middle of the work week! I am off this weekend and have fun planned, as usual Big Hugs to you ALL ~~~

Hi All I got my rings back today ! This is the set of rings I got myself for my weightloss? Bought them at 30 pound sdown, then got the ring guards at 6 months of steady weightloss, then a new stone at 60 pounds down and sized down two sizes at 90 pounds down. They fit perfectly and he shined them up and they look BRAND spanking NEW I also got two news tops in the mail today. Both black tanks and I LOVE them. I want to go somewhere right now just so I can wear them. Exciting stuff… So first night of school was yesterday. We were the only class that stayed late in the whole program. He kept us there til 10 pm. Grrr. I dunno. I think that sux. O well. Of course I couldnt just go home and go to bed. O, no. I went to Jeff’s… Stayed up way to late and got almost no sleep. But was up and at em at 6:30 or so and off to work. Was busy all morning right up until lunch time. Ate 3 bell peppers in different colors and a bowl of strawberries for lunch. Then doritos And a snack of some chili stuff later on. I have had around 800 or so calories so far today and have plenty leftover for dinner tonight. I burnt my mouth on the chili stuff so it hurts… And nothing sounds good because of it O, well. I still need to order my books for class. I need to mow my lawn and feed all my pets. I think I may skip the lawn… I REALLY need to do it but I am sooo tired I may just wait til tomorrow night. Well, I best close this blog up now. I hope u all had a LOVELY Tuesday full of success and good choices

Good Morning, Buddies. I relaxed after work lastnight and then headed over to Jeff’s to watch tv and stay over. Since our friends got their new, big grown up house, they moved all the band equiptment form Jeff’s to the new big house on Saturday. This meant Jeff could put his house back together so I helped him move his computer, computer desk, dresser, vacuumed, dusted… U get the drill. He also has these bearded dragon things that moved back into the computer room but it was getting late and it just sounded like too  much work cause the aquarium is HUGE. I am off work today and gearing up for my week… Good thing I found out my school begins today They don’t send us a schedule and I have to look on line and I just think it would be way better if they could send a schedule or a letter saying, Hey you, don’t forget school starts 8-24-09 I know, I am pathetic. I am taking Substance Abuse Counselng and Family Counseling this semester. The semester runs til December 11. I find myself wondering where I will be by then. Will I have met my goal yet of weighing 150 #s (which I want to do by my 30th bday on Dec 15). Will I still be seeing Jeff? I guess time will tell ~ Well, I am going to read some bloggies and then get — I have not had anything to eat or drink just yet so I need to look into that too. Have a GREAT Monday, everyone ~~~

Hi Buddies Happy Sunday afternoon to you ! I am getting ready to end the work weekend. I have been having fun and working and am ready for a NAP ! I am going to seriously try to take one when I get home from work. I am not very good at naps, but I am sure going to try… Friday night I went to a Mexican resteraunt with my girlie friends then over to Jeff’s after that. I had a very high cal day. I am not feeling bad about it tho cause I have this weightloss thing down I will do well ALL week and either maintain or lose a small number. I will be okay with it too. Saturday I worked and we made a picnic and went to the river and it was gorgeous. 75 degress and a blue sky. then we went to this outdoor Olden Dyas festival. It was borning but nice to try something new and be outside. I bought a small kettle corn and then gave the rest to my co worker. After work I went to see my friend’s beautiful and gigantic REAL grown up new house. Jeff came over there later and we stayed WAY too late. I didnt end up getting to sleep til around 3 am and had to be up at 6:30… Oops. I told my mom today that I am dating Jeff. I think she knew… the ex FINALLY moved his things out yesterday. He showed up drunk at 7:30 am while I was leaving for work. He called around 8 and, since I know how he is, I asked him to please put the house key in his pocket cause I was afraid he would lock hisself out. not ten minutes later, I shit u not, ol boy calls, “u r not going to belive what I just did.” Yep, I guessed and believed it. He had to drive ALL the way to my parents house to get a spare… So typical of him. and I called it folks. Since I told him that the cooler was there, Jeff asked me, so is he going to pick up that cooler while he is at your mom’s house Hee Hee Hee. I told my mom what Jeff said and he got a good laugh out of it. anyways, His stuff is all outta there and I feel FREE! he left me his lawn mower, weed whacker, gigantic grill, a metal cabinet for the garage, an antique dresser and matching cabinet, an antique wooden/glass door corner cabinet and an antique metal dining table. He has no use for it nor space fo rit so he doesn’t care. I was able to move some furniture around and make more space for myself He also left me $1 in the freezer for dog food… So, my mom said the ex had told her yesterday that maybe Jeff would help him move some old couches he left outta my basement… That is when I told my mom, look, that isnt ever going to happen. I said, I have been seeing Jeff since June and Ex hasnt caught wind of it yet, so it is NEVER goign to happen. She never said anything back to me about it. I am not sure why. I know she doesnt approve of Jeff. If she knew him she would. He is funny and nice. But smothered and covered and diced and capped with tattoos. I like that part, my parents, not so much… I am almost 30 so they can get over it anywho, I made it to work today and have been staying busy for the duration. I have a lot of work that needed catching up on and I also made the residents 4 homemade pizzas amd I ate some too ! It was really good. I didnt get enuf work done today tho so I am going to take it home with me to do tomorrow from my couch on my day off… I am okay with that, tho. I need to catch up and get organized. School begins next week, I think… I better loko into that! I hope it doesnt begin tomorrow. Shoot, I need to find out I guess. alrighty, I hope u r all doing well and making good choices !

Good Monrning Buddies. I weighed in this morning. I weighed in at 185 which is what I was hoping for cause that is what I weighed the day after weigh in last week and was just hoping to have pulled that off for this week. I had  a few days over 2000 calories last week and then a 1500, 1400, 1600 and 1800 so I am pleased with the 3 pound loss So, my BMI is currently 26.6. 24.9 is the BMI for ideal body weight. I cant believe I am were I am. When I see it in plain writing, it seems to unbelievable to me, it really does. I am not sure what I am going to do today. I ate dinner with Jeff lastnight. We went to the store and got food to grill. He bought me a steak and he grilled it just a few minutes too long—no blood in site And I wanted it BLOODY ! It still tasted good tho. It was really nice out lastnight, breezy and cool. Enjoyed myself, as usual I am supposed to be going out to dinner with one of my bffs but I texted her lastnight about where she wanted to go and this morning and I have not heard back from her. Hmmm… We shall see. Well, I guess I better get moving… I work all weekend — hope u all enjoy ur weekend !

Hi Everyone. I wasnt on yesterday cause I worked all day, came stright home and one of my best friends n her little girl came over til about 8 pm cause she is having man trouble :(  We did alot of playing, dancing, spong bob, i carly, u get the drill ! then I went to RB’s and hugn out with him. I hopped on the scale today, TOM here and ALL, and it is going down. So, it just may be 185 still, as it was last Saturday, tomorrow morning, even with TOM only two full days in by then ! Maybe less… I will take the 185 tho I am going to try to catch up on some bloggies this afternoon and will def do more tomorrow cause I am off of work. I spent my whole lunch hour yesterday SHOPPING cause I really have nothing to wear to work. NOT anymore ! ! ! I am so excited to report I got some really cute stuff and cant wait to wear it all. I am wearing one of the shirts today. It is a royal blue and black checked button up tunic. So cute ! I also ordered some stuff on line so I am anticipating its arrival… I had no pants but jeans and no work shirts so HERE we go !!! YEAH ! Well, I am off to find somthing for lunch and get back to work !

Hi Everyone. TOM came this afternoon. I knew he was a comin’ cause I have been hungry for a week. I know to expect it now. It is funny how before I was always eating eating eating. Now, I know when TOM will be here cause I get this hunger that I am no longer used to… Interesting… So who knows what to expect at weigh in… It was a lovely day here, about 80 degrees but now it looks like rain again. Ex-ie came by to get his drums and some other things today and to pack things. He is really supposedly moving it all out this Saturday. Of course he left one of his drum bags thingeebobbers right in front of the door when I walk in my house. He is always leaving little reminders. I think he does that shit on purpose. I really just wanna throw it in the middle of the road. And of course he goes right out to the garage and calls me and asks where his blue and white cooler is. What I wanted to say is NONE of ur business, u could have taken it with u in October… Just like all the rest of his things. But what I said was (I lied…) is I left it at my parents. But I really  gave it to Jeff Hee Hee Hee. The ex is actually giving me a bunch of shit. Furniture, lawn mower stuff like that. I am pretty sure he owes me. So, lastnight I was bitching to Jeff about this secret crap. I am tired of not feeling sure about who can know about us and blah blah blah. He has not told me not to tell anyone or anything, I just dont like things being all weird, ya know? So he is like, I dont feel like I can just come out and say, Hey dude, I am dating ur ex girlfriend. He said he cant do it. He cant tell him. He is like, Becky, we go out places together, everyone is going to figure it out, lots of people know. I dont have to say it to him. Put urself in my position. He said, I thought we were building something here, a relationship or something … Hee Hee Hee. And that is when I quit bitching ~~~ This is an over six foot tall, 230 pound bald man covered in tattoos and he is saying things that I have NEVER heard him say and I just had to shut my mouth and smile And, not that I am in any kind of hurry, cause I am NOT, but he was talking about how he wants to have kids and be married before he does and this is a guy who just months ago said kids and all that were not for him … I just listen and inside, I laugh n smile at all the little changes I see him. O, I could keep blabbin but I am sure this is making people sick Hey, it is my blog, right ? Have a good evening, Buddies ~~~
