So WTF I didn’t make it to my goal weight of 150, but I did get pretty damn close. If it wasn’t for the damn holidays and mashed potatoes I may have done it. Who the hell am I kidding it is because I didn’t get my fat ass in the gym for the latter part of the year. It is okay though it isn’t like red light green light this is a life long process to stay healthy and fitting into my sexy clothes.

So it has been a pleasure writing for you all and I hope you had a great time keeping up with me (the two of you that do) ha-ha. Just kidding. I know there are a few of you bitches out there that read this, technology is amazing and they provide me statistics so every time you read it “I’m watching you” ha-ha. No really. It has been great. Thanks for keeping up, commenting, encouraging, teasing, laughing, joking, bitching, and whatever else you may have did. I sure do appreciate it!

So you are not getting rid of me so easily. A new year, a new blog and I will do much better at writing in this one it is part of the goal.

Farewell for now,

It seems I have been at a plateau. I’m stuck at 155, I’m not complaining too much. That is a nice place to be stuck. However it is time to amp it up at le gym this week. I’m truly hitting it 5 days with my little work out plan. Those Zumba bitches are not going to know what hit ‘em. I’m gonna salsa the hell outta that place. Oh I like the cumbia too. That’s hot! I will say that I love going to the Folsom 24. It is like visiting Athens without the ancient buildings. Last Friday I was on the elliptical working my ghetto booty off and this big buff man was working out right in front of me and I think he was flexing every upper body muscle he had. Whew…I went from a resistance 6 to an 8 turned up the volume on the iPod and just acted like I was at a 3D movie with no popcorn. BEAUTIFUL!

Well my eating habits are in limbo. I said I was adding dairy and egg back into my diet and I have. I just still choose my vegan options 98% of the time. I am just used to that lifestyle now so it is rare that I will eat the other. It may be a life long thing. Plus I really enjoy what I eat. It may be simple to some people, but it is nice to eat to nourish yourself apposed to just stuff your face because all the time. I like not feeling all gross and I have already felt the difference. I did find this fantastic thing though. Chocolate soymilk by Silk. Delicious! It is my version of a milk shake and oh my gosh…HEAVAN!

Well a depressing last few days for me, guy 32 is officially down for the count. I shouldn’t be surprised at all, when I like someone, really like them it turns to crap. In this case it didn’t turn into anything because apparently I wasn’t worth the time LOL. Remember this is the same man I went on a date last year with, guy #4. Last year I got the line, “We are too much alike but let’s be friends.” Now mind you, this time I am the one who broke up with him but I got the line…”I have not dated in a while…but I still want to keep in touch.” He is such an amazing guy, he really is but I know that he didn’t like me enough to want to be around me for more than 10 minutes. I do hope he finds the man of his dreams though, and in the mean time I guess the hunt for my Mr. Right continues. Perhaps 33 will be it? Or 34, or 35? LOL

Well wish me luck with my exercise goals this week. Eating…ahh we got that down to a science. I know what they mean when they say the last 5 are the hardest. No kidding.

I got on the scale this morning. Oh, and by this morning I mean around noon…hey don’t judge I couldn’t sleep. I weighed 155lbs on the nose!! That puts me at an even 50 pounds lost. That’s right I’ve practically had a baby and come out like a shorter fatter Gisele; without the hot Tom Brady husband of course…. damn it!

So I’m totally eating all kinds of crap now and when I say crap I mean dairy and egg. Saturday I went to breakfast at IHOP and scarfed down a two egg breakfast like it was nobody’s business. You would have thought I never ate a day in my life. Don’t you worry though I worked all that food off and then some later on that same day. Oh, and I’m not having any problems incorporating the new food back into my diet either. So that is great. I’ve never had issues with food though other than I love it and I’m fat. LOL.

So here I am 5 lbs to reach my goal weight of 150lbs and 4.5 months left to achieve it. Yes, I’m pretty damn proud! You know when people get so close to something though and they are like oh yeah I’m there and they just kinda quit working toward it or slack off. Well NO. I’m NOT there and I will NOT stop. The goal that I promised myself was 150 so that is that. Once I get there my happy range of weight will be 147-153. I will weigh myself once every morning to make sure I am within range just as I do now to see where I’m.

Okay so I gotta share my phone experience with you all. A couple weeks ago I decided I needed a new phone b/c the camera on my phone sucked. I finally decided to just upgrade to the new iphone 4 and screw the reports about the bad reception…plus I liked the camera on that best anyway. Well let me tell you. I think it was easier to find gold during the fucking gold rush! Now mind you this bitch has been out since July 6th or something like that and people pre-ordered the mothers. So I call the Arden mall from work and they say, “Why yes sir we have phones.” I’m all-amped and decided that I will go get one after work. However it happened that my Zumba class was that night so I decided I’d go to Zumba at 5:30p.m. go home to shower and change then go over and get one. Well that is what I did. Something told me to call before I left my house though just to make sure…the guy on the other end answers and I ask the horrifying question. “Do you have any phones left.”? Nope sold the hell out! WTF?

Next Day- At work I call the Roseville store at 12:00pm as soon as they get a shipment. They said they just got it in but it was small and they recommend I get down there now. Before the bitch finishes her sentence I hang that phone up and take my lunch. I get to the mall in 15 min. LOL…I had to speed a bit and maybe a few Hollywood stops (depends on your definition of a stop) but I made it quickly. By the time I got there 500 people were in the store and only three, yes three phones were left and all were 32GB (Not even what I wanted). I said screw this give me one. At this point I was willing to cut a bitch to get my fucking phone and I almost had to. Let someone try to cut in front of me…just let them. I was so ready to pull my keys out and use them as blades I still had the rush from driving 85mph down surface streets without getting nabbed by the Po-Po. I could play ghetto if needed. Anyway I got my phone. I love it and the camera is great….worth it!

Well the workweek is starting. The goal: To workout everyday this week. I have a schedule of muscle groups to work out each day. Wish me luck!

Your Fearless Fighter,

Anthony

The bitches tried to kill me. That’s right, the Zumba bitches. Now for those of you who don’t know what Zumba is, it is a dance cardio class that 24 Hour has. It lasts an hour. I took the class Tuesday at 5:30pm at the gym near my home. The first chick wanted me dead in the first 20 minutes however it was fun. Then I thought what the hell, why not try it again. However, I missed it at my gym so I drove all the way to Folsom for the 7:30pm class. JESUS in Folsom there was a sub…isn’t a sub supposed to be easy?? Like put in a movie easy? Hell no, this chick was worse than the first one. CRAZY! Yes, although they both worked my fat ass it was a TON of fun and I would totally recommend it to EVERYONE!! You even meet some really cool people.

Okay as for eating. You all know that I’m incorporating egg and dairy back into my life again. It has been an interesting transition. Interesting because I have had to consciously add it in. I’m so use to eating “my” way that I’ve totally forgotten about your food. LOL. Just today I totally wanted a burrito for lunch and all I could dream about was Rincon’s marinated tofu burrito. LOL. Yum Yum! I can see you bitches in the background cringing…it is quite tasty. Try it! LOL.

As for weight my weight is the same, even with this weeks crazy workout schedule. You know what is hella funny though. On Monday I worked out my chest and biceps right. So Tuesday they were all puffy and looking hot like I had muscles and I was like, “Oh look at how gorgeous I am.” Then Wednesday came and it was like Popeye needed his damn Spinach LOL. WTF? Too bad they don’t do collagen for that shit huh?

Well there are some people at work that keep giving me crap about my pants. They are going to have to give it a rest because they are a 32 and they don’t really make 31’s and I’m not in a 30 so bitches are gonna have to settle the hell down. Damn, I’m hungry…I’ll never be in a 30 so I’m going to have baggy Dockers. LOL.

Okay so the goal for next week is to Zumba twice and workout 3x. ha-ha. I know, I know….RIGHT. Well, I dream big. Wish me luck!

Day- 214

Hi Good Folks! Well it has been a while since the last post…but it seems we are in the home stretch. Yes, and hopefully I’ll be about three months ahead of schedule. I weighed in this morning at, DRUM ROLL PLEASE…156.4lbs. That is a total loss of 48.6lbs to date. That puts me at 11.93lbs ahead of schedule. Go me! I think my head is starting to look a little big for my body though…maybe I’m just not used to the size ratio yet. LOL.

So now that I only have 6.4lbs to lose I have decided to start incorporating dairy and egg back into my diet. That’s right people I get to eat more than grass. However on the other hand my fat ass joined 24 Hour Fitness on Sunday and I will be working out 4X a week to sculpt the rest of my 6.4 lbs away.

So Today was day one of dairy/egg and day one of working out. Let me tell you guys; I did chest, biceps and I did the elliptical to tone my big ass for 45 minutes. At the end of all that I felt like I was going to pass the hell out! The muscle heads in there were lifting stacks of weight then there was me lifting 15lbs. I was totally thinkin’ to myself, “crap I hope they aren’t looking.” And of course the damn gym isn’t considerate at all. The stupid machines are so close together that I could practically change the weight for the person next to me if he/she wanted me to.

After weights I got on that elliptical. Number one trying to find a machine in there was like trying to get a drunk sober. Those bitches are tough just like the muscle heads. I finally found one at the end of the line near the cardio room where it was noisy as hell. Yay, I got Baltic Ave. while Cindy Crawford is over there with the perfect body on Boardwalk. That bitch should have given me the better machine and went home, she already looked perfect. Whatever, I took the damn machine and worked my big ass off for 45 minutes. As soon as I got on I tried to man up and start with a high resistance and fast pace like the girl next to me. LOL, that lasted for like 2 minutes I think then I got real and went down to beginner level, even the girls out ranked me…what the hell. Next time I’m gonna wait and get next to a senior citizen so I feel better….unless they kick my ass too then I’ll just go home and freaking cry!

So tomorrow I have a date with Maria and probably 50 other people in Zumba Fitness. This hot guy I know named Anthony does it, and I actually knew about it already so I’m excited to start. I will be there at 5:30 tomorrow and it lasts 45 minutes. Wish me luck guys!

Okay so the hot guy named Anthony…yes I’m dating him and yes his name is Anthony too. He is devastatingly gorgeous and beyond sexy! Not to mention sweet, has values, is a family guy and is fun to be around. He makes guy #32 but there is a catch here….he was also guy #4. Yep, I went on a date with him last July. That is right, I went against my own rule and did a repeat date. I’m very glad I did because it was fantastic, and so was date 2, 3 and so on. Fingers Crossed!

Your Fearless Fighter,

So as far as eating, well as you all know I’m a full force vegan now and have been since February of this year. Some people think I’m crazy…well I am so what the hell why not live up to it. Really though, I know some people think it is hard to get my nutrients and protein or whatever. In reality I probably get more protein and eat healthier than most. My diet is just really low in fat and the fat I do get is soluble and natural which is actually what your brain needs. Lord knows I need help with the brain part. Hell I should just put a nipple at the end of the olive oil bottle and start sucking.

What do I eat? Well my biggest secret is the fact that I’ve learned to find anything to eat anywhere. Also my secret to when I’m feeling low on fuel is what I call a protein pack burrito. I get this super large tortilla put roasted red bell pepper hummus, vegan refried beans, soy cheese, red chunky salsa, green chunky salsa and guacamole. I eat that bad boy like it was the first thing I’ve seen in a week and in about an hour I feel like one hot playboy stud! Well for the other team anyway.

So exercise secrets. My biggest secret is that I have no freaking routine yet. I know what the hell right? I told myself that Once I was in my 170’s I’d start to go to that stinky smelly germ infested meat market and turn my ass into an award winning pair of canteloups. However I am now at 165 and I still have yet to visit that dirty ass place. I swear you are going to have to literally hold a gun to my head and even then I may weigh my options.

So love life. Ha-ha. Not so pretty. I’ve been on more dates then Britney Spears has diseases and don’t worry I’ve only slept with a very few of them. Really though, this whole dating thing isn’t going well. It did go much better when I slept with people on the first date then decided to date later. Sort of like test drive the Toyota before you get the financing. Actually if you want to know the truth I went on this excellent date last night with John, we will call him Farmer John. It was actually the only picture perfect date I’ve had out of 30…in 13 months by the way, but who’s counting? We started at a adorable coffee shop, went to a movie, ended kissing at my car. Then right as I was getting into bed I got a text that said, “Thank you for the great night.” How adorable right? Well don’t get too excited. Normally when I like the guy it goes to hell. Don’t cross anything on my account really. However we do have something set up for Sunday and he is going to be calling me in a few. We will see what happens.

Okay so that is the gist of things. Sorry for the long delay in writing. Thanks to my peeps for the comforting words on the last post. It is nice to see that people actually read this thing. You know losing what is equal to a freaking big ass baby was/is hard to do, but you all have and are making me accountable and for that I thank you very much! I still have 15lbs to lose. Remember the goal is 150lbs by December 31. Don’t you worry I will not slack off just because I can fit my not so firm Jane Fonda ass into my 31’s.

Take care and hope to hear from you,

Your Fearless Fighter,

Anthony

Hi guys. So I bet you are all wondering what in the hell ever happened to me? “Did he just up and quit this ridiculous idea of blogging?” Did he just fall off the wagon and not want to cop-to-it?” Hell, I’m not even sure if anyone reads this nonsense anyway so I could be just wasting my time here.

Well here is the skinny. Crap wait. I’m not using that line. Don’t you hate that line? Skinny…bitches who created that probably weighed as much as my left thigh. I am going to go for a more realistic line. Here is the fat. I’ve been vegan now for about 4 months. It’s just about second nature at this point and not very difficult at all. I can go to about any restaurant and find anything and be happy. Just the other day I was at Joe’s Crab Shack and had a happy serving of steamed broccoli, a house salad with strawberry vinaigrette and I ate some of Vicky’s fries. Delicious!

So as you can see I don’t go without. I will say that my diet on a regular basis is plant based. On average I probably get about 10-12 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I really do feel amazing. I am going to be honest with all of you. I had a date about a week ago and ate a piece of Roundtable pizza. It was the tiniest piece on the planet and had no meat on it I made sure of that. It had so little cheese on it that it didn’t bother my stomach too much, but I still felt a difference. Cheating is just not worth it folks.

As for my weight…NO I have not fallen off any wagon. Well weight wagon that is. Other wagons possibly, but as for this one so far so good. I have lost a total of 31 pounds. That brings me from a starting weight of 205 down to 174 lbs. I have thrown all of my size 38 and 36 clothes in bags and will be donating them. I am now in a fantastic 34! I have a whole new wardrobe!! Don’t be fooled I still have 24 more pounds to loose and another box to get into, my 32 and 31’s so my journey continues.

As far as exercise. MY FREAKING GOD. It is amazing how much further you can run and how much longer your breath will carry you with you don’t have 31 pounds of lard tailgating you on your fat ass. JESUS! When I get home from work I put my shoes on, plug into my iPod and just go like it is nothing. Before I thought I was going to die walking down my stairs. Now I still don’t go to the gym. I HATE that freaking place. A bunch of people looking all hot with their big ass muscles getting me all hot and bothered. LOL no just teasing. I think it is the fact that it is indoors and the fact that it bores me. I have not a clue, but I hate it with a passion. If you ever want to punish me, send me to the gym.

Love life. Ha-ha. Well let’s see. This is easy because I don’t have one. I went on one date with a guy that I had been texting for a month that I started liking a lot. Apparently he decided he didn’t like me too much. LOL. Story of my life. In 11 months I have been on 25 dates and have talked with 33 people who I decided not to go on dates with. Can you believe that? Who the hell does that? Oh, and it is a lot harder than it sounds because it isn’t just 25 dates. It is 25 questions of likes, dislikes, where do you live, like to eat, dog or cat, where do you work…and much more. I’m freaking exhausted. Speed daters get more rest than I do, and better luck!

Well I will close for now with the goal of more frequent posts.

Your Fearless Fighter,

Anthony

Where the hell have I been? I know I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. I do apologize but I’ve been assisting my ass off at work. Don’t laugh you…I know what you are thinking! I have really been working hard and a ton of hours at work. So besides that terrible excuse I will simply apologize for my neglect and move on to a different channel, my life.

What have I been stuffing in my mouth the last eleven days???? Don’t be dirty!! Vegan, Vegan, Vegan I’m totally and 100% vegan now. That is right no animal bi products enter this body. My diet is primarily plant based and I’d say about 35-40% organic. What do I eat??? EVERYTHING!!! Here is what I ate today. I’m such a pig. I had my Boca sausage links 4 and two organic whole wheat/grain flaxseed waffles for breakfast. Gosh they were yummy. I got hungry again a tad later so I had to have a snack. I had ½ a cup of this really tasty buckwheat coco granola, delicious! Then lunch came and I had about 2 servings of edamame. Sherri tried it for the first time and thought it was a green bean and put the whole thing in her mouth and started chomping. Hilarious! Another snack, which was three wedges of cantaloupe. Then dinner, which was 2 veggie dogs, cut up on whole wheat/grain bread with ketchup and mustard…kinda like a hotdog. Oh and dessert was a raw vegan cookie made with oats, nectar, and apples fabulous! All of this food and it was less than 1500 calories for my day. Can you believe it??? I’m sitting here right now so full and satisfied. I’m telling you folks I have NEVER felt better in my entire life. I have more energy, I’m sleeping like baby, I actually feel thin because I’m not bloated and my face looks thin because it isn’t puffy. My taste buds have changed too. Everything tastes better, richer, sweeter and so enjoyable.

So weight loss- I’m not going to tell you right now because it isn’t month end yet, but I will just say that not only am I able to eat such tasty foods and a lot of them, I am losing weight. The surprising thing here is I’m not exercising at all yet. My goal next week is to introduce regular activity at least three times a week for an hour. I’m no body builder and I don’t want to be so I’m not spending 2hours at the gym everyday. Remember I’m going for my healthy 150 not a buff ass 180. However I wouldn’t mind having buns of steel. Ah, I have a nice ass already just gotta make sure it’s firm right?

So, my love life…ha-ha. Yeah, well let’s see. I was actually supposed to have coffee with a guy names Sean tonight. Well I cancelled that and worked instead. No point, he is a nice guy but he is 40. I’ve done the me 27 thing and him 40 thing and then I had to deal with his mid life crisis and that is crap! Not again. If anyone get’s one of those again it will be me! So Peggy and Sharon were giving me a hard time and told me to graduate from match.com since it obviously has not been successful for 9 months. So I joined this other site and immediately they sent me this guy named Eric. Ironically he is a vegan. Who the hell would of thought there would be 2 gay vegans in Sacramento? Gays usually like meat. Well we’ve been chatting back and fourth for three days I think now. We have a lot in common beyond our food choice so that is a plus. We will see. I will not be ordering new letterhead just yet.

Your Fearless Fighter,

Anthony

Well it has been a while since my last post. I really need to get better at posting. Sorry folks. I will do my best to catch you up on what has been going on.

So I have been slowly converting to a full vegan diet. Yes, that is right completely plant based. I can hardly believe it myself. However I can truly say it is amazing. I always thought that vegans were crazy, not eating meat or dairy. I mean dairy is in everything right? Bread, ice cream, cookies what the hell?? Then came the fact of nourishment. How in the hell does a vegan nourish themselves and get all the nutrients they need? Well really guys this has been so much easier than I thought. Vegetables, fruit, tofu, soy, beans, nuts, whole grains, oats and I’m actually getting more nutrients, protein and fiber than the average individual because of how much vegetables and fruit I consume. There are a few things I have to be concerned with and that is vitamin B12, Iron, and Omega 3’s so I have to make sure I take a good multivitamin, but who shouldn’t be taking one? Oh, and Alicia is so right! Even though I’m still a fat ass I feel slimmer. I am not bloated and no puffiness. I don’t know if my face looks thinner because I’ve lost 10lbs or because I’m not puffy…maybe both. Not to mention the pounds are dripping off, I’ve lost another two already. This may be the healthiest, best thing I have ever done for myself.

So let’s see the day in the life of my meal plan. For breakfast I’ve been starting off with coffee, I drink about 16 oz. that is about 8oz. more than I am supposed to have, but what the hell I can’t have it all. At work I’ve been having a half of something whether it be a banana grapefruit whatever. I’m never too hungry too early but I know I must have something. Lunch has been spectacular. I’ve been having probably two full servings of vegetables. Lately it has been steamed asparagus. Oh my freaking gosh, if I could have asparagus at least once a day I would be in bliss. It is a shame it makes your pee smell like crude oil. Yuck! In addition to the veggies I’ve been having a fake chicken patty seasoned with no sodium chipotle. Mrs. Dash. Mr. Dash and I need to have a love affair, I want free seasoning! For dinner oh I’ve been creative. Ha-ha. Not really. Ton’s of veggies again. I made this huge plate of green beans and just munched on them. Fantastic. Not too steamed and not too crunchy. I did great! Vicky turned me on to this organic vegetarian chili from Trader Joe’s. I’m telling you this stuff will give a vegan an orgasm in a minute it is so damn good! Sprinkle some vegan cheese on top of that and oh my…delicious. Oh I got some strawberries the other day. You would not believe these bad boys; they were as big as my freaking fist. I chopped two up and it equaled a cup. I had no clue how good strawberries are for you. Full of fiber to keep you regular!

I am going to be quite honest and let you know that I have not done much activity for the past week. I know that is absolutely terrible of me. My goal for next week is to get up at least twice in the morning and go to the gym to work out. Baby steps.

So you have to hear this. I think it was Wednesday last week at work I got a text from this guy Sean I’ve been talking to from Match.com. He asked what I was doing “tonight” and if I wanted to meet. I really didn’t feel like it but I decided why the hell not. So we planned to meet downtown at Pete’s coffee at 8pm. I got home at 6:30 to get ready because it takes about 35 minutes to get down there. After I’m all freshened up and ready he texts me and says he can’t make it. What the freaking hell man?? He made me get all gorgeous for no reason and I didn’t even want to go out! I swear these ass-hole men are killing me! Not to mention Match has run out of men to send me, they have started sending me repeats. I’m so S.O.L.

I sure have been sleeping a lot this weekend. I woke up at 8:00a.m. this morning with nothing in mind. However, laundry, taxes, cleaning none of that sounded too appealing. Are you ready? Get ready for this because it is a big one. I didn’t even feel like watching TV. Yes you totally read that right. I, me did not feel like watching my boyfriend…the love of my life. Can you believe it? I could barely believe it. I got up plopped my fat ass on the couch and just stared at the TV, then I starred at the remote on the coffee table, then back at the TV. Wasn’t feeling it. So I decided to read a bit. I’m reading this book about Buddhism, quite enlightening people. Now I know damn well that I’m never going to be no Dali Lama but there are some practices that I understand and that just make sense to me. So I decided to learn more about them.

My goodness I sure did eat today! For breakfast I had some Kashi with silk. You know one of the good things about not drinking milk and using silk instead. The expiration date! Silk lasts much longer and I just love that because I don’t drink it beyond cereal, or maybe if I have an upset stomach. Let’s see for lunch I ate a grapefruit and some green beans. I cheated. I wanted some sugar so I had five sticks of licorice. Before dinner I seemed to need a siesta so I took one. It happened to last for two hours. I told you folks I’ve been sleeping a lot lately. For dinner, which was very late because of my siesta I found these really good buffalo style chicken less nuggets that are super spicy. Superb! I also had a margarita. Ha-ha. Sorry folks it was a drink night.

Exercise did not happen today folks. I’m thinking that weekends are going to be my days off for the hard-core exercise. Monday morning I am going to get up early and actually go to the gym. Not the gym at my house, the gym I pay for. I want to get my $15.00 a month worth, you know since I have not been for like two years. So yes, I think that weekends are just going to be for me, and I will just do fun exercise stuff. Summer saunters with the iPod. Sounds lovely.

So remember Matthew how I mentioned him a few posts back? Well yes he is a nice guy, via e-mail, and text. We finally went out and it went okay. He ruined it by talking about people he’s dated and how good they looked and why he dated them. What the hell right? So we make plans to go out on Saturday to a movie. He NEVER responds to my message. Can you believe this guy? Now I only sent the idiot one message because I wasn’t going to beg. I wasn’t even too fond of him after the first meet and greet so I was only going out again because I thought, you know you can’t judge someone based on one date. Then he is the one that decided on Saturday and he is the one to ignore me. Give me a freaking break. I swear, I am just going to go to a bar and sleep with someone and I bet I’ll get a call the next day. Lol. Screw the match people. They are worse than bar people. At least with bar people you know what they want, someone who is attractive and good at sex. Check and check! I will report back when I have moved on to plan B.
