Yes!!! I'm amazed.. I know it starts off little by little and all of a sudden it adds up... But it becomes a life style which I like..
One of my cousins was there and she's like the fittest of the fit but I notice how hard she works to be that way.. She's a professional salsa dancer.. She goes to the gym at least 5 days a week for like 2 hours and gives classes every day for hours.. and watches what she eats.. omg and I use to be like good for you chick keep up the good work and I didn't think I could do it... I can.. I can..
Her first question to me lastnight was Is it your lifestyle plan or is it I drop 20 and I'm out.. I was like Omg.. It my new lifestyle and I believed it so much last night.. I was so proud of myself...:grouphug: and I know she was too bcause it sounded like a new and Improved IVETTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! woot woot!!:party:
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this time it's a done deal.. Were doing it lilly we are.. I know soon it will be 10 and 20.. I think the first 10 are the hardest at least right now they are lmao!!!:rofl: take care chickee and thanks!!!!
 
You know what my main problem I fear is that once I lose the weight and get secure. Regardless of how I did it what not!!! I stop being so conscious about what I'm eating and I gain it back..
And I know she asked me that question out of love for me "Is it a lifestyle or a diet?"
I'm contemplating on what that truly meant. Does it mean that I have to be in diet mode for the rest of my life. Some of these diets are very very strict. Like no diet coke, no rum, no caffiene, no double shot expresso!!! I mean no's to a lot of things that I do drink. I love caffiene I can probably drop it for 30 days..:svengo: and that will be a challenge in itself.
I know she ate one piece of cake, thank god I don't like cake.. She said this is my problem Ivette, sweets!!! but I'm going to the club and I'm gonna dance for hours and hours to burn it off.:party: cool she's always on that mindset. She's like I don't feel guilty tonight..
So if I'm saying lifestyle I mean I'm always going to have to be on a diet. I know my body is use to getting big. Why do so many people who lose weight gain it so quick???
I guess once I get there I will really have to stay focused and be on top of myself to not let it gain back. But does it mean no caffiene till the day I die????? Am I going to feel guilty everytime I have something I'm not suppose too?? :patriot: I mean I'm ride or die right now for my losses but damnnnnn!!!
Enough word of the day for me... Regardless I have a huge baby shower that I decided to host today for a dear friend of mine.. It's a surprise and I have so much to do... Omg...I'm having a double shot expresso with an extra shot of energy right now and I don't feel guilty...:smilielol5: oh well.. it is what it is.. some things never change.. Before getting on here I did 10mins on the elliptical.. something is something.. it must be working cuz I'm sore all over. :smilielol5: I hope it doesn't rain anymore cuz I have like 40 women invited and I want to put the tables and stuff outside.. :driving: I'm in fast mode today.... Woot!! Woot!! hope the party turns out amazing and I hope she's surprised.. God bless her little soul and that precious beautiful baby that will be here in no time.. I love babies... well I'm out and I will be :party:
 
So I'm getting all mad ready for my babyshower at 2pm...:patriot:

Like the good friend I am I have been driving around the valley just getting stuff... I buy like 20 bottles of soda and 3 cases of water.. The old me wouldve left it all in the car and waited for someone to help me... So I decide this is my new lifestyle therefore maybe I should bring them all in myself.. I start bringing them all in and leave the doors open... I'm like lifestyle hah!! maybe it will be easy if I just do little extra excersizes all day..

As I'm bringing the 35 pack of waters in my 2 beautiful dogs decide let's run and run and run.. I start yelling buddah and gucci come back in.. my son hears me and decides.. This is cool let me run after the dogs.. which now looks so funny if someone is :auto: driving by... :smilielol5: 2 dogs full speed.. jj my son who is 3 full speed and me full speed behind them... Woooooooooooooooooooo!! talk about lifestyle change..

I thought I was just doing a little bit extra bringing a few bottles ininstead we went around the blockk and I got a major workout... :party:
 
Goodness woman, you are busy! When I think about this as a lifestyle I think of it in phases, at the moment I'm in the weight loss phase so that I have to make sure I am defecit in the calories I need to lose weight. When I'm at my goal weight then it is the maintenance phase, meaning I can eat the calories I need to maintain that weight, and with regular exercise I can have a few treats here and there.

Last time I did this I did just what you are talking about, lost 30lbs, looked great, felt comfortable, stopped exercising as regularly and put foods back in my diet on a regular basis that should only have been there as treats. I didn't monitor my weight, I just presumed that once I was there, I would stay there. Well I gained it all back, and then some...but it took my a while to realise that.

The key for me will be not letting go of the regular exercise, but even more important will be weighing myself....staying in touch with reality!

Sounds like you are burning lots of calories rushing around today...you go girl, what a great friend you are!

....WOW :eek2:!!! Talk about keeping my no drinking STRONG....this just made it STRONGER!!! ugg....LOL!!!

...the best part:

"Some evidence for this comes from research carried in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [4]. Eight men were given two drinks of vodka and sugar-free lemonade separated by 30 minutes. Each drink contained just under 90 calories. Fat metabolism was measured before and after consumption of the drink. For several hours after drinking the vodka, whole body lipid oxidation (a measure of how much fat your body is burning) dropped by a massive 73%."
