Skinny Bitch 1 - Okay it has been 1 month....1 MONTH since my last post - I'm not going to beat myself up b/c I tell myself that I've been busy, the holidays, the new job whatever excuse I can find to make it seem okay will do. Anyways, I weighed in this morning and bummer no loss but a gain. I'm at 152.8 - not as bad as I thought so I'm kind of happy in a way but not happy enough to go jumping around or anything like that. So, my plea to you is to GET ON THE SCALE b/c I know that you haven't or you have and don't want to talk about it - well TOUGH!! Skinny Bitch 2-3-4, you better weigh in!!
More later!
Skinny Bitch 2:
Where is the time going? When we started this journey, I thought I'd be well on my way to the skinny bitch that I want to be. While sitting at the doctor, I picked up the Self Magazine and read the 7 ways to make you feel sexy in less than 10 minutes..Excuse my language but F**k that..that crap doesnt work..I'm realizing now that only I can do things to make myself feel "sexy" and I sure as heck know that I would feel alot sexier if I was 25 pound lighter..Although it has been a month since my last recorded weigh in I am proud to say that I am at a stand still. Still at 158. I already know what my new years resolution will be, but for the last few weeks of this year I'm gonna start busting my butt to lose these extra pounds and be the sexy skinny bitch that I soo badly want to be!! Just some more modivation, and a few more hours in the day would help too!!

WEEK 7 - I'm not slackin!
Skinny Bitch 1 -
So here we are week 7 and I should have the routine down but this morning I was on a new early wake up call for my new job and didn't weigh-in. So it is 6:45p on Tuesday night and I just weighed myself at 151.2. It is a gain of .2 BUT I don't normally weigh myself at night and instead have been doing it in the morning. I'll still claim the gain but I'm not happy about it! I have been tracking and I'm happy to say that since I'm newly working downtown there are 2 new weight-loss possibilities for me!! 1. My new awesome job offers a free work out facility that I checked out and it is SAweet! 2. I am walking at lunch (depending on weather). I'll keep you posted, hopefully this burst of workout enthusiasm will be just what the Skinny Bitches ordered!
Good Luck through the week - TRACK!!!

Weigh in..What week is this now??
Skinny Bitch 2:
Tuesday's are they days that I have been dreading for I'd say 3 or 4 weeks now..IF you have been following the blog you will notice, that I Bitch 2(can't even say skinny yet) have been avoiding this blog on our weigh in days..well here I am..back in action..This week was a loss/gain for me..in the past few weeks, my weight was going back and forth (its been a rough month for me)..I think the highest I was..was somewhere around 160.8, and now..i am proud to say that I am back down to 158. So yes, it was a gain from the previous weeks, but it was a loss for this week!!..I'm not too proud of myself yet, I just need to work a little harder..I'm not writing anything down, but because of this new medicine i'm on, i have not had the appetite..I guess thats ok, because when I do eat, it's healthy..so I think of it has portion control..it's perfect because I know longer have the need to eat..Yay! Hope my other skinny bitches have a good week!!

Just throwing it out there
Skinny Bitch 1 - I just want everyone to know that tomorrow is my weigh-in and I am NOT excited about this one at all. Off my target for sure....I can just tell. You know when you just don't feel right - when there is something really off? Yea, well that is how I feel!!! I need some HELP!!! I need some motivation!!! My weekend was COLD and I ate comfort warm yummy goodness food instead of chewing on carrots or other veggies.
I guess there is one thing I am proud of....one of my new owners brought me out for lunch for my first day to a pasta place downtown. So I did 2 good things (in my book anyways) #1 - I didn't eat the bread!!! That damn bread basket is a huge distraction to weight loss, why do we need the bread?? Can't they bring us out some strawberry's to clean our pallet or some other fruit? Why stuff us with the carbs? #2 - I didn't eat the pasta (YAY!) instead I ordered a chicken salad. BORING you say.... nah, it was delish!
Back at ya tomorrow!

Halloween got the best of me!
Skinny Bitch 1 -
I let Halloween get the best of me....I drank a little too much and that led to what my friend Rick likes to call "drunk eating" (but I didn't "drunk eat" that much because he STOPPED ME!!!). The damage isn't bad thanks to my running this week but I still gained .2
I'm really sick of the point-whatevers and I'm super motivated this week to get my fat ass in gear to be a skinny bitch! So let's go!
This morning I started off with a protein filling breakfast:
1 - 100 calorie english muffin toasted with, 1/2 cup Egg Whites Egg beater mixed with Mozz. cheese (yum) - over the stove, delicious!
I need to watch my lunch intake because that can be a killer but I am also planning on working out tonight!
This will be a hard week because Thursday is bunko and Friday is my last day at work so we are all going out to the Blue Goose. So my plan is to have small portions of whatever is served at Bunko on Thursday and limit my alcohol to 1 glass of whatever. Then Friday I plan to have LOTS of water and make sure again that I watch my portion control from whatever I eat there. NO appetizers!!!
Good luck to all the skinny bitches out there....make this week, YOUR week. OWN IT, don't let the food, lack of priority, lack of energy, lack of planning and other day to day crap OWN YOU!!!

Only Hurting Myself
Skinny Bitch 2:
After what...3 weeks I think, I've decided to step up and actually write a little something..I've been avoiding this blog because I was ashamed of a gain..Only 1 pound, but still a gain..But then I got to thinking..I'm only hurting myself..and this blog was designed to help us with our struggles..so after our experiences at the Halloween store, I decided it was officially time to quit giving my fat ass excuses and start trying again..The first week I worked my ass off and lost 5 lbs..thats huge..so I just need to get my motivation back, and try this out again..I still want to be a skinny bitch for my birthday..some encouraging words please??

I wonder if I can beat the Bengals in losses for the season??
Skinny Bitch 1
I wonder if I can beat the Bengals in losses - everyweek they are losing 1 game and are up to 8! I hope to surpass them when they get to the game against the Cheifs as 15-0, maybe by then I'll have lost 15 lbs. What a joke Bungals....anyway, on to more serious matters like my LOSS for the week. Not by much but it has got me over 3lbs mark. I am even more excited about this loss because the "reds" were in town this week. Holy cow, getting through a menstrual week with a loss is HUGE in my book. I wonder why during that week all we want is CHOCOLATE and we feel like we are just swelling up like a balloon - SICK!!
Oh well, still not journaling and I really need my brother-in-law CJ to kick me in the ass on this one, HELP BEAVIS!!
Until Next Week....
Starting Weight = 154.1
Total Pounds lost = 3.1
New Weight = 151.0

It is a new day....
Skinny Bitch 1~
Yea Yea, I weighed in this morning and there was a decrease on the scale....I am now at 151.6 which is now a total loss of 2.5 pounds. Okay, now that I type that out it certainly doesn't seem like much but it is a start and it is a success in my book. Soo.... I still don't have the discipline to track all that I put in my mouth, I am still doing the head math thing and although I had a loss today I still don't think this is the best solution. I still need to try try try to jot things down or else I'll never see the actual number on the scale that I really want to see!

Weigh In Day
Skinny Bitch 1 - Lack of Focus!
Weigh in is what i expected, not that I have esp or anything but I do have "EAT" that is for sure! I have a "LACK OF FOCUS" and it is hurting me at the scale and on the hips (I borrowed Lack of focus from my husband). As my dad always says, "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and it is oh so true. Even one of my co-workers will randomly throw that one out at me. For example, yesterday there were cupcakes for a 50th birthday in the office and I asked about them (not that I was going to eat one, and I didn't) but the co-worker yelled across the office, "ummm... you don't need one remember what your dad always says." THANKS JIM!!! But that is the thing, I ran 3 times this week and I friggin watched my portions when I did eat. For instance, we were in Columbus for the weekend and I didn't eat my whole burger and instead of the fries I did order broccoli - whatever!! I really need to track and I know it, HELL I talk about it almost every week. GET THE FOCUS BACK and TRACK!!!! Keeping myself accountable for the pieces of food that go in my mouth. Okay - it is a new week and I'm not going to let the "LACK OF FOCUS" get to me!

quick blog - 2nd weigh in
Skinny Bitch 1
Okay, as I sit here and eat my weight control oatmeal I'm proud to say that I can log a loss today for my week. I am now 153 so that is a loss of 1.4 pounds! Pretty hard considering the challenges I have faced this week (WORK!!!!!!!!!) I'm hoping the half-ass journaling and the one day of running was a big part of that loss. I need to be a planner like Skinny Bitch 3, my life is just as hectic with work and after work happy hour and more work and just life! Hey Bitch numero 3, please fill the rest of us in on your awesome planning abilities!
One new thing I will do this week - I'm going to buy a dry erase board for my fridge to write myself notes and to log my weight so that everytime I want something I am reminded of my success.
Keep up the good work bitches!!!
Skinny Bitch 2
This week was a little harder for me..I'm right along with my fellow skinny bitches..work and school has been killing me lately (although I must add..I PASSED MY STNA NURSING CLASS) I am now a state certified Nursing Aide..YAHOO!!...
Week two was a no gain/no loss week for me..I am pleased to have kept off the 5 original pounds, but slightly disappointed I didn't have more to add to that..
However, I did want to take just a minute to thank the supporters we have..Thought you all would enjoy this story..
Last week, I came home from lunch with my momma..there I was checking my mail..just as I was doing my celebratory dance for receiving a 10 dollar certificate to dicks, my loving and supporting boyfriend came in..I had mentioned that I was going to use this certificate to buy the new brown north face jacket I had wanted.."You can't buy that, you haven't lost 20 pounds yet" was his response..Selective hearing at it's best..He never hears me tell him to be home by 9, or to do some laundry and clean the damn room..but damnit..he sure heard me tell him not to let me buy any new clothes until I lost 20 pounds..(gotta love him for it =] )After a long car ride of me trying to persuade him to let me buy this jacket, we came up with a solution together.I would wait until I lost 3 more pounds, and went on 5 more walks...
My goal for the week--buy that jacket--after losing 3 lbs and 5 walks..I'll keep ya updated with my progress..

Did she really say that????
Skinny bitch 3
It's been some time since I've been able to blog. With work and school, my life is extremely hectic. So instead of giving in to all of the excuses, I've decided to be proactive in my weight loss. I've decided that every Sunday evening I will make the dinners for the upcoming week. This way when it's 9 pm and I'm finally getting home from a long day of work and school, we'll be able to heat up dinner instead of calling Asian Wok for carry out.
After 2 weeks, I weighed in and have lost 4 lbs!!! I was on a high for about 1 minute...I ran into a friend that I have not seen in months and she asked if I was pregnant. Yes, PREGNANT!!!! After I tell her no, she then proceeds to tell me how my weight gain is mostly in my stomach. OMG!!! Shut up!!! So instead of feeling depressed about this horendous comment, I decided to use it as motivation. The next time I see her, she's going to know that I'm definitely not pregnant and will be looking great.
At work I've been taking 15 minute breaks to go walking, doing chair dips and wall sits. If smokers get 15 minute breaks to continue with their bad habit, I can take 15 minutes to better my health and body. I also took in my stability ball and have been sitting on it for about an hour a day. This has really helped my posture and my core.
Along with adding activities in my day, I've also starting logging in a food journal everything that goes into my mouth and the exercise I do everyday. This has definitely held me countable for the food I'm eating and calories that I'm burning. One more step towards victory!

Week 1 Outcome...
Skinny Bitch 2:
It's already been one week since this journey has begun. The weekend was the hardest part for me, but I don't think I've ever wanted to lose weight this bad, so I stayed motivated and did my best to stick to the points over the weekend..Also may I add..I gave in to pressure from my boyfriend and had chipotle..I got a bowl, and asked for very light rice, and extra veggies..this was the first time in chipotle exsistance that I did not eat the whole thing, infact, I threw half of the bowl away after picking out the steak and veggies..Yahoo..VERY big step for me...so here we go with the results from week 1..Drum Roll........158...YAhoooo!!...5 Lbs the first week...Can't wait to get out of class, and go on a walk...
Skinny Bitch 1:
Congrats Skinny Bitch 2, you my friend are a flippin ROCK STAR!!! You should seriously reward yourself so that everytime you check out that reward you remember why you are working so hard!! Get yourself a new shirt that is showing off your newly decreasing figure.
I however can't say I have put myself in the rock-star category but instead I am in the "no loss, no gain" bracket. No worries, my journey doesn't end here - I'm actually a bit more motivated now to not give in to the pizza or the "I got home real late from work, so screw it" dinners. Instead I'm going to be the journaling fool - I will be a TRACKER!! My real goal this week is to not let the stress of work put the pounds on me as a person, I know that I am worth more than that and I will learn that I have to put myself FIRST. My weight loss and being healthy is the #1 priority (minus my adorable husband).
Weigh in #1: - 0 lbs.

The color blue
Skinny Bitch 2:
I hope day three is going well for everyone..I've been talking with numerous friends/acquaintances about our blog, and everyone seems to be so impressed with our idea..I just thought I'd share something interesting that I found on the internet today...
The color blue is found to be an appetite suppressor. Many weight loss plans will suggest using a blue plate, some will go as far as putting a blue light in your refrigerator. Blue food is very rare..think about it, no blue leafy vegatables, no blue meats, and aside from blueberries, and a blue-purple potatoe the color blue does not exist significantly as a natural food color. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, the color's blue, purple, and black were "color warning signs" of potentialy harmful foods. Hense the color blue for my blog..
I saw on billboard today that Urban active is offering a month free for a guest pass..I am already a member, but if anyone else is thinking about joining let me know..I'd love a work out partner!!
Enjoy this weather..get out and go for a walk!!

Only 1 day and tons of support, now WORKOUT!!!!
Skinny Bitch 1
I just want to say thank you to all of the supporters who have taken the time to come online and check out our blog. Friends and Family (my hunky husband) have been wonderful! Words of encouragement is what will get us through this journey. So let's get off our fat asses and WORKOUT!!! Pull a friend or husband or boyfriend that has been the #1 fan for the day and ask them to take a walk, go for a run or just goof around at the park, tennis anyone? Let's just get outside and enjoy the rest of the awesome weather before it runs out.
Skinny Bitch 2:
Welcome Skinny Bitch 3..Glad to see the support..It makes me feel great knowing what an amazing group of friends/ family I have now..Yesterday went very well for me..I enjoyed a nice long walk at VOA with Skinny Bitch 1, and my momma. With today being the first day of class, I forgot how much walking was done around campus all day!!
With day one of classes out of the way, and day two on my new journey, I am still feeling strong and motivated..Just thought I'd share a few things that I learned in class today!..
In my Nutrition and Exercise class we discussed a study that was done over a period of 50 years. The study looked at men participates in overall good health from Harvard, then woman of decent health, and then it looked at people living in the inner city's in Baltimore. The researchers came up with 7 ways that promote a longer, healthier life..Here they are..Drum roll please.....

I just want to say thank you to all of the supporters who have taken the time to come online and check out our blog. Friends and Family (my hunky husband) have been wonderful! Words of encouragement is what will get us through this journey. So let's get off our fat asses and WORKOUT!!! Pull a friend or husband or boyfriend that has been the #1 fan for the day and ask them to take a walk, go for a run or just goof around at the park, tennis anyone? Let's just get outside and enjoy the rest of the awesome weather before it runs out.
Skinny Bitch 2:
Welcome Skinny Bitch 3..Glad to see the support..It makes me feel great knowing what an amazing group of friends/ family I have now..Yesterday went very well for me..I enjoyed a nice long walk at VOA with Skinny Bitch 1, and my momma. With today being the first day of class, I forgot how much walking was done around campus all day!!
With day one of classes out of the way, and day two on my new journey, I am still feeling strong and motivated..Just thought I'd share a few things that I learned in class today!..
In my Nutrition and Exercise class we discussed a study that was done over a period of 50 years. The study looked at men participates in overall good health from Harvard, then woman of decent health, and then it looked at people living in the inner city's in Baltimore. The researchers came up with 7 ways that promote a longer, healthier life..Here they are..Drum roll please.....

Beginning Day 1
So this is a story of two friends who are trying to lose some wieght for their own personal reasons. We are relying on each other and whoever else reads this blog to help us with our first 20 pounds. We are Skinny Bitch 1 and Skinny Bitch 2 and we hope that you enjoy our stories, struggles, successes and most of all our support.
Skinny Bitch 1:
Okay, so I weighed in today after my stromboli dinner last night. Drum roll please...................starting weight was 154.1!!! HOLY CRAP, I'm a fat ass! But that is okay because I'm motivated. I've had a Luna bar this morning (around 8:30) and just had a banana. Basically I'm doing portion control and working out on a mostly daily basis to lose my first 20 pounds. So, breakfast and lunch not so bad but dinner is the worst. Does anyone have any good recipes for a picky husband and a horrible cook of a wife? Pass it on if you do! Wish me luck on lunch, I'm going to Panera a.k.a. CARB HEAVEN
Skinny Bitch 2:
First off, I would just like to say what a fantastic idea this is. I don't think I've ever been this motivated to do anything in my life. Well I must admit I am almost ashamed to type in that large number I saw on that damn scale this morning, but being this determined..I guess I have to. Weighing in at 163.1..(I feel like we are being auctioned off as a big prize)..I felt pretty disgusted with myself, but I have to think that a few of those pounds resulted from the swelling on my face that will not go down!! UGh..Stupid surgery!..
Anyways, back to the topic..I did some researching and found a few quotes..I think my favorite one is "Strengthen your desire. Weak Desire brings weak results, just as a small fire brings a small amount of heat"..Credit needs to be given to someone, just not exactly sure who.. I hope day one goes as good for you as it is for me.
Tonight's my first night back to work since the surgery, hopefully I can resist temptation and disregard that loaf of bread calling my name..I just need to keep in mind the end result, and how badly I want to wear a prom dress to the local bars =)...
On that note, skinny bitch 2 is out---like a fat kid in dodge ball
Skinny Bitch 3
Well, I hate to say it but I was an accomplice to skinny bitch 1's CARB HEAVEN lunch today at Panera. That's where I learned about this blog and thought it was great and had to join. There's nothing better than having a support system of others who want to be (and will be) skinny bitches!!!!
After reading what skinny bitch 1 and 2 had to say, I realize that not only am I the fattest one (weighing in at 176 lbs) but I'm also the oldest. Aaaahhhh! I've always been the type of person that gained weight and would take it off easily by taking diet pills are just cutting back on food. And then I hit 30!!! It's like being in somebody else's body and I want a new one. I've been working out regularly and eating healthy and it's taken me about 2 months to drop 10 lbs. Lord, in my 20's I could do that in 2-3 weeks by cutting out a meal. Not anymore!!!
So this time my plan is to continue to work out on a daily basis, eat healthy and live a more active lifestyle. My goal is to lose weight, but most importantly it's to drop a few sizes. I'm currently in a 10 or 12 (depending on the maker and style of clothes) and my goal is a size 4 or 6.
To start this journey, I bought a book this evening. It's called "Winning By Losing" by Jillian Michaels of the Biggest Loser. From what I glanced at in the bookstore she goes over how there are three different types of metabolisms. Here I thought there was only one, SLOW!!!! It's off to start reading about my ridiculously slow metabolism and how I can give it a jump start. Does anybody have jumper cables????
