Why is it when you are trying to lose weight,
and I mean REALLY trying ,
not just thinking about,
all you want is what you know you can't have ?
The middle of March we are going on a little vacation to New Orleans !
WOO HOO !
I've never been to the Big Easy, but it's on my "bucket list".
Anyway.....
This has motivated me to lose the weight I've put back on the last couple (4) years.
5 years ago , I lost approximately 40 pounds.
I am short ( I mean really short ) and 40 pounds is a LOT !
I was quite the pumpkin head.
My parents have a lot of health issues.
Sis and I were determined not to have that be our future.
Plus the fact that we weren't getting any younger.
We joined Weight Watchers and Curves , and dieted and worked our way to being much healthier.
These are both great programs and I completely believe in them !
I believe in them so much , that I actually own a Curves
( and a second hand home decor store, in the same building , go figure )
Over the last 4 years, as is bound to happen when you like food,
( and wine and cocktails and cupcakes and .....)
I have put some of my weight back on.
Nothing, of course, like it was .
Because I do eat well ( just too much ) and I do exercise ( thank God or it would all be back).
Soooo.... anyway...
I have 13 pounds to lose ( 15 would be better, but my goal is 13 )
Week 1 , I'm down 3.
If you've ever lost weight , you know it's all about baby steps.
Back to my first statement.
Why is it when you are trying to lose weight do you want everything you know you can't have?
Like these
Crockpot Brownies ... are you kidding me ?!!
Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes ~ yes please...
Molten Marshmallows Chocolate Cupcakes ~ Good Lord !
The Sarasota ~ delish !
Blood Orange Margaritas ~ Beautiful and Tasty !
Yep , I want them all and multiples please.
However , I did find SOME encouragement and motivation on Pinterest also.
This one also lead to me an awesome blog.
Side note : don't you love how a "pin" can lead you to the most awesome blogs? Always trace your pins back to their origins. Then the right people get credit and you may find some wonderful sources!
Iowa Girl Eats promises this tastes nothing like spinach.
Although , I really like spinach.
At least fresh spinach
or better yet Spinach and Artichoke Dip.. no..no .. bad..bad..bad
Anyway...
I think this might make a really good breakfast this summer at the camper.
I really like these shorts !
Blood Orange Margaritas ~ Beautiful and Tasty !
It's time....

Saw your post at Debbiedoo's Newbie Party. I agree that Pinterest is a great motivator and a way to find some really awesome blogs. I always go back to the source of my pins. Good luck with your weight loss and hope your trip is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, I needed some inspiration, I've been playing with my diet, and I need to get serious. I found a great site which has great recipes, so try it out www.skinnytaste.com.

Thanks so much for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best Par.tay! PS - now following you on Linky!
