Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

Alta, how are you feeling? Please let us know, you haven't posted in a few days. Sounds very much like you had the swine flu. It is pretty much assumed right now that anyone who gets the flu probably has the swine flu. At least that is what the docs are saying in my town. I know many people who have had it, including all three of my sisters kids.
 
I think Alta may be on vacation by now. There was talk about going topless somewhere (Cancun?) Hope you are having a ball Alta! xo Cate
 
WOW...so Cancun was so much fun and I ate YUM YUM all the time!!:drool5:...I drank often :cheers2: and the slim figure I left with is now back to feeling a little pudgy in extra areas. Mainly, I feel happy overall...I had a blast and realized that life is about that. Who cares about being at your "LOWEST" weight all the time...I mean, it does feel good, but it's with the ups and the downs that I learn to appreciate the success when I am there.

I have been on relaxation mode and really regrouping my thoughts since vacation and have finally come to a place where I feel good about my thoughts, :) and goals and what not. I am now in the process of putting it all on paper and making my vision boards, and doing what I have to do to emanate what is within my soul to the universe so that I can attract the great gifts from within and from without to arrive through me because of God in my life! :cheers2:

Yesterday, I decided to go back to the Agape Center, with the Reverend Bernard Beckwith (the African brother) from the "Secret". I had never fully embarked on a ceremony and I went with a classmate from school and her friend and we were all brought to tears with the welcome and the amazing great vibrations of love that surrounded us! We felt recognized and love for the amazing souls we are at this very moment! It was very impactful and has definitely re awakened me again! We all said that we want to make it a habit of going together. We laughed and cried and have never felt so at home with a community. I would say its beyond the limitations of what the word "church" brings because it truly is!

...It has activated the potential again within me and I feel that this as well is a missing link in my personal life as I realized what great joy it has brought to me and my days since then!...I am very very grateful and have signed myself up for volunteer acts that I can squeeze into my schedule somewhere, because where there is a will there is a way!..It's such a great soul expanding opportunity that I completely want to do...and feel that I am lucky to "Get To do" all the wonderful things in my life, versus how sometimes we think..."I have to do" this and that. I am ready for the opportunities of love and gratitude and virtue that God has to show within myself for myself and for others!!....It's great to be happy! :beating:

At night yestersday, me and my bf went to Disneyland...it was so fun and we had a great time and the best part is we went for FREE!!...The lights were amazing and we got on rides and the lines moved quickly and we have both been enjoying each other and our lives outside of ourselves lately which as well, brings us closer together and brings a great appreciation amongst us for each other. I feel blessed and happy at the amount of love in my life right now, including the support of you ladies & gents! I am thrilled for life!!!

I hope to get my whole scheduled worked out, and possibly start swimming again this week, at latest next, and to work in the running in the mornings since it gets dark so quickly and early...since I do have another marathon coming up in Febuary!...I am grateful that I "GET to do this"....& that I am "Able" to do this as an example of what happens within us when we allow the great vibes of God and the universe to work through us!! :D!!...

**Quick note with food: Need to go to the market to buy yummy non processed foods-the fridge was empty, had to make due** lol

My schedule goes as follows:

I have to go to Trader Joes and buy myself food for the week cause we have nothing at home! :( I'll probably go during my lunch break, cause I really am strapped for time...My schedule goes as follows:


Mon- Friday: 9am-5pm work
6-7pm -Case Conferences @ School
7pm- 10 pm -Class/Elective Hours/Case Studies/Practicums/Practice Sessions with Clients @ School -everyday now
Saturday: 2 Practicum Classes 9:30 am- 4:30 pm
Sunday: Free Day (Agape Spiritual Center & Volunteer Stuff & Study/ Relax)


So basically,....I'm figuring that my "Workout times" can only fall from 6 am- 8 am & during lunch hour -Jillian Michaels- strength (30 mins max), & after class a couple nights a week for swimming and gym from 10:30pm- 12 am. Sat - afternoon Run, and Sunday, Afternoon Run or early morning run. Most likely Afternoon..

"Me time" will consist of reading, meditating, or bubble bath, or Sauna reading, as well as "Sunday Agape Center". I have to squeeze my bf in here somewhere, most likely Friday nights and Sat late afternoons, and Sunday Late afternoons.

I really have almost no time to breath, but that is what I am lucky to "Get to do"! :beating: With God's help I can do it all and coordinate my late night gym days with sleep the next morning and running on mornings the days I don't swim late night @ gym and sauna!!! :D! Whew, I'm tired already! hahah

THANK YOU ALL FOR CARING TO STOP BY AND VISIT ME!!! I LOVE YOU AND WILL SOON GET BACK TO ALL OF YOU!!! ....Honestly, I lost the FORUM LINK since I used to use weight-loss.fitness.com and I thought the FORUM got DELETED since that one doesn't work anymore for some reason now it's weight-loss.fitness.com (go figure!)! ...I found you all again...& I'm Happy!! :D!! :party:!!!....Some pics of Cancun to follow when I upload them!! :D!:waving:
 
Okay Alta, out with it... we want the real story behind Temptations...

Remember lady, my vacation is justa few days away and perhaps a bit more revealing than your resort... Just want some teasers here!
 
hey Alta,
So glad you've made it back safely. Sounds like you had a good time - can't wait to see some pics. I'm also really happy you are so happy and getting so much lovin! You deserve it all! Glad to have you back! Missed your smiling face.
 
Cancun baby recap!!!...

Alright, so you want the JUICE huh!?!?!..hahah.:So...the first night we got there, they have a bar mid section that tons of people go to because it get's crakin' there!! :party:[/I]....Almost everyone was in their langerie :drool5:. I mean, ass cheeks, thongs, and tiny string bikini's ON MEN & women of course..their's even more scandelous:eek: and tight boxers, and nipple covers if that, pure see through Everything it seemed!!....That was Swinger's night!...:reddevil:..and they have a whole bunch of other activities and different theme nights, like live band, and a club, and other fun stuff!!..Basically, everyone getting "trashed" and looking to cross other people's boundaries!! ...hahaha...I even got a couple dances from men towards me and my bf, while standing in line for late night food!! hahaha....Had to be there...! COMEDY!!!...All in all it was all fun and games!

..We found that out after this Indian guy at the bar next to us after we got our first set of drinks, told me and my bf that he is "bisexual" and to have an open mind, and he wiped some dust or something off my bf's head. Real straight looking guy too, mind you!!...hahah...!!....My bf was super nice in the sense, that he didn't get mad or all homophobic when the guy touched him and went on to make conversation with him politely cause the guy was SUPER drunk!!...That was interesting...and all the bodies dancing naked and the outfits, ....:smilielol5:....What a SHOW!!! hahahaha

...Then , the TOPLESS beaches is amazing!!!...You see Big titti's, Perky Titti's, Sagging titti's, Young Titti's, White Titti's, Black Titti's...and MAN..You name it...it's TITTI's all around...all shapes, colors, and sizes, and styles, fake and real!

...At first I was shocked at how relaxed the whole enviroment was....everyone is super courteous in the sense they don't blatantly stare :drool5: at the breasts walking around and the staff makes it feel like there is no set of tit's so amazing that can cause them to glance! :beating:!...No pervert feeling....other than sometimes the visitors themselves! hahah....Lot's of thongs walking around, and beauty surrounds you like crazy. It's embracing because EVERYONE feels beautiful and accepted there!....No one knows your name, and no one gives a shit!! hahahah!!! :smilielol5:...So do what EVER you want!!!

...I mainly went topless just while tanning on the beach and by the pool, and a swim here and there in the ocean ...and DAMN it felt good to just swim and STAND and have your Ladies flopping around in the water with no barriers...and I felt so LIBERAL and one with my body!!!...Everyone is so calm and accepting of themselves it's purely contageous and no one judges!!....& Everyone seems HORNY!!! hahahah!!!

...You see the craziest people hook up...and we have TEQUILA to thank for that!!!.hahaha....Gotta love it!!!....basically....VACATION @ a TOPLESS RESORT is the shit!!!! if it does anything to you......it makes you embrace your BEAUTY and IMPERFECTIONS as even the skinniest of men and women, have cellulite, fat lumps, baby back rolls, and saggy and perky titti's and flat and round asses (holes or no holes in them)!!!.....Acceptance of oneself is the way to go there!!!...No holding back!!!!...and you make TONS of friends who you keep on running into other nights as well, so that's always fun...

.....So? whatcha think!??!

....Also, we got to go visit the Pyramids which were Amazing & visit caves and swim where Virgins were once sacrificed by the Mayans, and got to go Sailing on our own in the ocean with a sailboat provided all inclusive by the Resort and ate like Kings all the time!..


.....The DINING is FANTASTIC!!!! :svengo:....I mean...like 5 restaurants that are all 5 star meals, and you can order anything and everything...and basically...meals that would cost me and my bf in Beverly Hills or something over here $150 a meal between the both of us...PER NIGHT, PER MEAL, and for LUNCH as well!... The food itself payed for the entire trip....amazing portions and fine presentations...and you feel STUPENDOUS and ABUNDANT while there!!!..Pure Enjoyment knowing that you didn't have a bill at the end and that you didn't have to finish it cause it was a $150 meal. NICE!


...why can't life be lived like a RESORT all the time?!?! :hat:

You have me absolutely stoked! We go in a couple days, leaving Saturday morning. Hedo is topless on one side, completely nude on the toher. Definitely swinging overtones abound according to all of the people we've talked to. Polite "no thank you's' when tehre s not any interst are supposed to be the way of it.

There are a few theme nights. Toga night, Bare as you dare, PJ night, miniskirt night (for the men too :eek2:). I hear the same thing though, who cares what imperfections you have? Drop your laundry and realize that everyone has flaws and so what?

Thanks for sharing Alta, I'll give you a report from my trip too.
 
Hey Alta!!! Sounds like you had an amazzzing vacation... I need one of those now!!! Preferably one where I can let my tittie's flop around everywhere! LMAO I was laughin' reading about all the boobies!!! lol :smilielol5:

I'm glad you're back and that you're keepin' busy and keepin' such a POSITIVE attitude while you're at it! So many people are stressed out right now with the holidays approaching us... and you have a lot to handle right now, but you're handling it well! You are amazing at staying focused.. keep it goin!!!!

Take care :)
~ Sarah

 
:iagree: 100% And I'm one of the people Sarah is referring to - I can't handle the stress like you! You are really a role model and someone to look up to.
I'm sure those vacation pounds will melt off - if not it was so worth it! Once the holidays have passed and temptations are out the door we will get serious again and prove to everyone we can do it! Keep it up!
 
What a great vacation -- sounds like the ideal way to shake off the winter blues and jump start the season. I'm wowed by your work/class schedule, too. I have been wondering if I have the energy to take one single class this spring -- your schedule is inspiring.
 
Food Yesterday:

Bkfst: 12 oz. Hot green Tea (1 1/2 tsp sugar, tsp creamer)
3 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar....and a little later ate...
1/2 grapefruit
5 thin smoked ham slices (10=80 cals)--I like to suck on them-salty

Snack: 2 turkey hot dog links (one hour apart each) 2=120 cals

Lunch: 3 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 tuna sandwich -wheat bread bread (the cat stole the other half & ran away)
1/2 cup of Fried Rice -made at home
1 little breast of chicken

Snack: 1/4 tuna sandwich-wheat bread
1 orange

Dinner: 1/4 of small tiny box pizza-real crunchy-like cardboard almost (450 cals whole thing = 120 cals eaten about)
1 oz. of Cheddar cheese chunk
1 link of Turkey hot dog (60) -So good!

--4 - 16. oz bottles of Water throughout day.

I am trying to "Listen" to my stomach, and Yesterday, was the First day, that I was able to do it & actually hear myself and my stomach when it said..."Hmm, that's good, I'm satisfied"...yet there was still more food..and I almost caught myself wanting to eat the rest of the sandwich, or more of the 12" inch. pizza, but ...no!..I'm giving thanks for what is going in my mouth, and I finally found it easier to chew and really Savor my bites & chew 25 times or around there each bite!:D...before, when I tried that...I noticed I would count my chews in like a desperation or something to finish counting so I could SWALLOW already so I could get onto eating the Rest already....Yesterday I was able to appreciate how the food felt as it swirled in my mouth. It was Liberating!!! :beating:!

...I think if we take it back to when we were like babies...and when you try to put another bite of food in their mouth that they don't want...they spit it out, even if they have a lot left, we are able to Truly Listen & be Aware...and the LBS will adjust themselves as we go through time. This is not easy, I must say, and I am REALLY REALLY trying to listen here..:bigear:.and feel grateful, and finally after days of trying and being unsuccessful in hearing what my little Factory workers had to say in there....for once, without being sick, I HEARD THEM!!!! Keep TALKING LITTLE WORKERS, I want to hear you LOUDER!!! ;)!!!

Food Today:

Bkfst: 1/2 sandwich w/ egg and 1/2 turkey link inside (bf made me bkfst in bed)

..later...@ work-- 12 oz. Hot Green tea (sugar, creamer) + 12 oz. of Cold Water

...So far, listening to my stomach, worked this morning too....it took me about 10-15 mins. to eat this little small 1/2 sandwich my bf brought me, and I savored the bites in my mouth, and because I savored the bites, I realized I was chewing more and more than I regularly do. :D! Alright!!!...Listening & Gratitude in motion! :D!...I was also really happy that he only brought 1/2 to me, because the thought of eating the whole thing is great and all if you eat it fast, but if you eat it slowwwww...you feel Yucky and Full at the end. NO good!....I felt grateful seeing it 1/2 only. :beating:

I wanted to go Snowboarding tonight...but instead...I think I'll go for a LONG NEEDED RUN tonight!!! ...it's gonna be dark in an hour, but I NEED to get out there right after work. It's my ONLY day I can...in the afternoons, other than Sat & Sun. If I'm REALLY gonna do this Marathon in Feb. I need to stop bullshitting like RIGHT NOW! :iagree:!...the Great thing is RUNNING is ALL MENTAL!!!! Mind over Matter!!! ....I think I'll go for a 6-9 mile run tonight. Just like that. Cause the mind can when you put your mind to it!....Now, all I hope is that my bf is not home when I get there, and the cuddle bugs don't get to me....:blush5:!

...my schedule is so packed and it I like it, but it's HARD to get my runs in....REALLY REALLY hard, cause that would mean for some long runs, getting up like at 5 am :eek: ..and running in the pitch dark for 2-3 hours, and doing everything on a 5 hour sleep cycle nightly! ....that's INSANE!!!! & COLD!!!!!! & I LOVE SLEEP!!!!!! :beating:!!!

...a Woman's GOTTA do what a WOMAN's Got to do though...so SHUT that hole and FREAKIN RUN ALTA!!!!!! :party:!

Shucks....Thanks

I am reading your thread....besides blushing with all the boobie talk....I am soooo proud of you...You are so much healthier...and running soooo far! You never could have done that before.....
 
6-9 mile runs?! Dang. Come to Montana, and TEACH ME. lol. I missed your face lady! Glad to be back on here, glad your STILL here, and can't wait to catch up on all your crazy stories. Love it! Vegas seems like it was just YESTERDAY, can't believe its been more than a year :( ahh, but such fond memories :) lol. well, what I DO remember anyway hahaa. Keep up that killer work, even with such a packed schedule, you never fail to amaze me with your enthusiasm and thattagirl attitude.
 
Hey Alta! Haven't visited you in awhile sorry darls!! :seeya: Glad to hear you had such a great time at the resort. And topless! Wow, I'm in awe. I dream of the day when I can feel so accepting of my 'ladies' that I will let them show themselves to the world. Till then, they'll have to wear their certified B&T straitjacket I'm afraid. :sifone:

I totally agree with what you're saying about the chewing thing. I once took a good half hour to finish a thin slice of carrot cake and a cup of tea.. and it was the best little snack I could remember having in a long time. What else is good is you call a friend on the phone, or someone you always talk HEAPS with whenever you call 'em, and have your food ready to eat in front of you, but you talk to them as you eat it.... and that makes you pause between each bite and take smaller bites so you can talk with food in your mouth, and it makes the meal last about 3 times longer and you end up enjoying it so much more!! And it fills you up like you said, incredibly, to satiety point - a definite plus when losing weight and battling that bastard of a stubborn I'm Not Full Yet! Syndrome. :iagree:
 
Alta-seems like you're doing great!!! I hope you got your run in as planned... and I hope everything else is going well!!!!

I MISS YOU. You should post more oftenn..... I'm sleepy babbling... but you have got my point.

<3 youuuu.
