6 Pounds... of ASS!!!

I mean really... who knew 6 lbs could look like SO much! Here I've busted my ass trying to lose weight and have actually been very successful... losing 20 lbs so far. However... I've learned it's WAY easier to put it back on... I gained 6 flippin pounds on my Birthday trip! I really don't understand how alcoholics are all so skinny.  I pretty much drank non stop while in Playa... we ate... but not nearly as much as I drank!  So how did I gain 6 lbs while these alcholies look like living skeletons?  Just doesn't seem right to me.  Anyway... as you can see from the following pictures my 6 lbs looks more like 20... and all in my ASS!



My Ass at the Beginning of the trip...



My Ass at the End of the Trip!

OK... so I'm just fucking with you... NEITHER of those butts are mine!   Obviously you all know there's not a chance in hell I'd wear a thong to the beach!  My ass probably falls somewhere in between the two above... but certainly won't be featured on this blog.  Well maybe after I lose another 14.5 lbs.  That would be the 6 I gained less the 1.5 I've taken been off since I got back... plus another 10... which ought to be looking very good in a few months since I start with my new trainer tonight!  He's gonna get me looking tight!  Well if he doesn't kill me first! 

Swimsuit Season Blues!

So when did they take the special lighting out of swimsuit stores?  I went to Everything But Water last night looking for a new suit for my upcoming trip to Cancun (and as a congrats present to myself for losing 20 lbs... so far)... and I was MORTIFIED!!  I mean I'm certainly no bikini model but I definitely look better than I did 4 months ago.  I went through my box of suits the night before to weed out the old and/or unflattering ones... and not one of those suits mortified me.  To top it off I had drank several glasses of wine before I tried them on... which should have also made me look better in them... Negative!  I thought they always had the perfect lighting in the stores so you would think you looked better than you actually do... just to get you to buy them... clearly not!  Well I guess I should be happy... I didn't wind up buying anything that would scare grown men & small children.  But I did end up with a nice & big new beach bag! 

Bring on Mexico... I'm so ready!!

Cinco de Mayo 2012

You know sometimes the best times are those unplanned, unexpected and spontaneous adventures!  Take Cinco de Mayo for example.  We had plans to meet up with some friends for dinner and drinks... and ended up having one long, crazy, FUN night!!   I honestly don't know how I made it through the night without gettting sick... after all the beer, margaritas, beer, Red Bull & vodka, and vodka shots w/ pickle juice chasers I drank.  Oh maybe it was the 5 or so miles we walked throughout the evening!!

Cheers!!

Walrus

I hope I never get in close proximity to a walrus... Those fuckers are huge!!! And the tusks!! This crazy ass polar bear (1/2 their size) was trying to kick ones ass. Oh wait the polar bear is a dick... Now I feel sorry for the walrus. Whew... He escaped! All is good again!

Love

My nieces (and sister) gave me a stuffed monkey when I was home last week. And the girls made me a card to go along with it. I was looking at it again when I got home... that's when I noticed the slight spelling error. Can you see it?

At least I HOPE that was a spelling error!! Family Love!!

Mustache Presents... St. Patty's Day!

Well... They Found Me...

AGAIN!  I guess I should be thankful that this is only the second time I've received one of these bad boys in the 18 years I've lived here!  At least I won't be bored waiting this time as my supervisor and her son have both been summoned on the same day!!  Fingers crossed we don't get picked!!

I AM COMMITTED!

As you all know I have mentioned getting fit on here a few times (last being about a year ago).  Each time I have lost some weight but soon after lost interest in putting the effort in and gained it right back (and then some)!  Luckily for me I'm tall... so I can hide the weight well... unfortunately I have to see myself naked every day so there's no way to hide it from myself.  Nor anyone else once bathing suit season starts again!

So... I've finally gotten to a point where I really WANT to stick with it.  Is it a lot of hard work & dedication?  Absolutely!  But the results are totally worth it!  I started this process about 6 weeks ago.  And as of today I have lost 14 lbs.  Now granted I still have a ways to go... but I can definitely see a difference in the way my clothes are fitting.  I actually have my shirt tucked in today!  I can not tell you the last time I tucked in a shirt... it's been years!

How am I accomplishing my goal?  Mostly I have been doing cardio... as I'm trying to burn off the fat before I start building muscle on top of it.  I work out every week day at lunch for 45 minutes... on top of that I work out for another hour and a half at least 3 days a week.  Weekends are sketchy... sometimes I work out Saturday & Sunday for an hour and a half... other times I just work out one of them... and still others I don't work out at all (ie... this past weekend).  I've been pretty good about sticking to a 1,200 calorie diet (on days I do the double workout I allow myself to eat some extra calories).  And I also allow myself one cheat day a week (which sadly is mostly alcohol... but hey I'm only human).  But thankfully because I'm dedicated to working out that hasn't hindered me.

So wish me luck!  Hopefully by the next Fit Trix post I will have dropped another 14 lbs and a pant size!!

What is that Place... Really?

So I've noticed a couple suspicious businesses on my way to work lately.

The first place... Emerald Spa.  This place is open 24 hours a day... and I actually have a pretty idea what goes down in there.  Which was confirmed when I googled it.  Now not surprisingly I could not find any actual reviews on it... as who in their right mind would want to tell the world about their happy ending?!  However... there was one listing that said you could find out more about the spa at EroticMP dot com.  Unfortunately this site is blocked at my office... and I didn't bother to dig any further once I got home... because... well... I doubt it's going to tell me more than I already know.

The second place I've noticed is this place...

Which is located on Richmond near Shepherd.  I have to say I never paid much attention to this place because I didn't think it was even open for business.  However a couple weeks ago I noticed 2 big, burly guys sitting out front and the door was wide open. Then I looked up and notice that the Open sign was indeed illuminated.  This my friends was at 7:00 in the morning.  I've never in my life heard of a bar that was open at 7:00 (well in Houston).  And why would you need some big bouncers sitting out front at that hour.  I think there was maybe one car parked out front... which I'm sure was one of theirs.  Since my first siting of the bouncers I've been paying closer attention... and that open sign has been on every morning since... and it's still on when I'm driving home from work.  I've seen a guy or two sitting out front on a few other occasions also.  So my question is... what is REALLY going on at Didy's??  Something tells me it's not an actual 'sports bar'!

It was clear Ting Ting enjoyed Cowboy Mouth!

This guy... good gravy... he had the most HORRID BREATH EVER!!!

Notice he keeps popping up?  He actually told me he wanted to be my Mr. Right Now... as he was in town for only one night.  Seriously... get the fuck away from me stinky mouth!

Oh that Ting... getting her some boobie action!

I told Ting if she did this again for a picture I'd do it too!

I tried to get out of it... but I think little Ting could actually hurt me!

Those were some BIG ASS BEERS!

Yes... smashing our 3 sweaty heads together sounds like a great idea!

Pretty sure we were dancing...

Yep... there it is... action shot!

And... Good Night!!
