Friends, I'm still alive! Just haven't had much weight loss related activity in my life!! But still feeling good with minimal gain!
Just need to ask a favor. Please send some prayers my family's way. Some hard times have fallen on my parents and I just needed to ask someone/anyone for some prayers. I need some guidance so that I can stand up and do everything in my power to help them and I know they need guidance on how to get through this.
I know that's vague and cryptic, but any prayers help.
Lots of love and appreciation
-d.

Checking In
Hey Y'all! I just got a chance to catch up on blogs and I hope everyone is doing fab! Not only have I fallen off the wagon, I've jumped in front of and got ran over by a food truck... and I haven't worked out in 2 weeks. Holy shit. I need to get it together.
I'm not super upset about falling off the wagon, but I'm also not losing weight which isn't cool at all!! 60 more pounds to go! Yikes!
The good thing about this whole situation is the fact that I haven't gained weight! That's a huge, huge deal for me. So please say a little prayer for me, I need help getting refocused!!!
But guess what, Next Friday is my birthday!!! Yaaaaaaaaaahhhaayyy!! I can't wait.

Smaller Clothes, Goals and Other Things
So this is the green zone. I heart the green zone. I have to force myself to drink a protein shake in the mornings, because the thought of food doesn't even appeal to me. My whole life, I always had skinny friends that made sour faces at the thought of eating. This must be what they felt like.
I love it. I drank most protein shakes this week and although I know that is not a long term plan, and not advised by my dietitian and I secretly love it. This is what I've needed to get the scale moving again. I'm relishing in this while it lasts!
Onto better news, I bought a pair of size 18 shorts today! YAHOOO! just over 5 months ago I was squeezing into size 24's. Man that feels good.
MS and I have a wedding to go to next weekend so I've been dress shopping. I'm loving every second of it. I was hoping to be in regular sizes by now so my options would be limitless but hell, I'm happy!
A few months ago set a goal for myself to lose 20 more lbs and then I'd get a profile update. Well! I hit that goal!! YAY!! I'm going to get on it and actually give my blog a nice face lift! Can't wait!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
P.S. is anyone reading the 50 shades books? Holy shit.

TTT
Happy Thursday! Ten Things!
1. Did everyone see the picture Reggie posted in that purple dress? Hot to death.
2. The grossest thing is happening to me right now. My hair loss has seemed to slow down, but today as I getting all the knots out of my hair I noticed red spots on my scalp. The whole top of my scalp is covered in red dry spots. SICK! AND there's gray hair everywhere. UGH! I bought some head and shoulders and I hope that takes care of this little embarrassing issue.
3. You know what's a lot more fun after you've lost a lot of weight? sex. ha!
4. Today is my second day of self inflicted liquid diet. It's been pretty good. MS got a fill today so I jumped on the bandwagon with him.
5. I am so excited for this long weekend I can't even stand it. I have been going into work early and staying late so much for the past few months that I hit a wall this week. I had a hard time focusing on anything today. I might extend this liquid diet through the weekend and I'm not talking about protein shakes.
6. So I have mentioned before that I have PCOS, and that is one of the main reasons that pushed my decision to get a band. For me, my PCOS made my period just disappear for months and then I'd get a period that lasted for months. In an effort to spare you the gory details, I'll just say that twice, it got so bad that I actually passed out because it was depleting my iron levels. So anyways I haven't had a normal cycle in almost 10 years without the help of birth control. Even though birth control is the only treatment I have been on for PCOS, I actually took it upon myself to stop taking it a few months ago because it was giving me really bad acne. So I am incredibly excited to tell you that I started my normal period today for the second month in the row!!! With NO help from pills, last month it lasted for 1 week and stopped! OMG!! YAY! I know periods are super annoying, but I'm almost* as happy to have it as I was when I was trying on clothes at Forever 21 last weekend!! IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY OVARIES ARE WORKING?! OMG PLEASE!? That would be the best thing ever.
7. Today the little man at work that I was talking about last week wasted so much of my time. I'm going to start keeping a log of how many times he just interrupts me throughout the day and I'm going to start leaving invoices on his desk. Then I'm going to whoop his ass. I swear I would love to just wrestle that dude. Like MMA style.
8. Have I ever told you about my alter ego? You know how Beyonce has an alter ego named sasha fierce? Well mine is named Janet Jackson. She's been around since a pretty funny night in college and man she has been gettin crazy lately.
9. On that same note, I love birthdays and I really like to make a big deal about them. I do it for everyone because being an adult is super lame and I think everyone deserves a little celebration! That being said, I like to celebrate my own birthday too and this year I'm going to let Janet Jackson wear sequins, slutty makeup and big hair. Shit, I might even clip a weave in!
10. I was just thinking about how grateful I am. I feel so blessed. Moving to NC by myself 6 years ago was extremely tough. I left my amazing family and wonderful friends all behind and just kind of leaped to see what would happen. Finally, after lots of heartache, I feel complete again. Life is definitely a journey and if you just trust that God will guide you to everything you have ever asked for, he will.
