One Smokin' Red Hot Diva

Jul 17, 2007 11:14

It's hard to believe at one point I weighed 198 pounds. I hate looking at old pictures of me. I ask myself one thing "Was this me". Next thing I look is for my lighter. It's not that I want to see something burn, I just hate being reminded of that person I once was. Then I snap out of it and tell myself "It's good to remind yourself of where you came from and to look forward what could be".

I recently jumped on the scale and saw a number that caused me to back off the scale. That number was 163. I haven't weighed that in years. Last time I probably weighed that was before my miscarriage. That was 1994. My gosh!!!

I still exercise at Curves three times a week. Diet...well I really take notice of what goes in this body. I drink more ice tea than soda (lately it's been more rootbeer than ice tea, but that will change). I cut down on the fried food. Eat salads when I can. Note the fat, carb and calorie count of any food I buy.

Me and my mom received the brand new Carinval books in the mail. Brand new large 113,000 ton ship named the Splendor will be launched next year. Does limited cruises out of Ft.Lauderdale before moving to Long Beach, CA. 2 deck spa for yours truly to enjoy. Wow!!! Right now we have space held on the first American cruise on that ship. Yee Haw. I was thinking that I need a brand new dress for this cruise. Something more grander than what I have in my closet.

I plan on going back to New York next May (I still believe parts of me is stuck currently in Manhattan...I love the place!). Why not go to the fashion district to find either a black, red or blue number for the cruise? Something extra special.

One of the ladies at Curves who has been my best friend from minute one is happy with my progress. She tells me that I look so good, why not show off my curves? If I felt comfortable in some areas I would. I would so love to lose more weight and tone my hips and thighs. Currently I cover that area with a large shirt. Once and awhile I feel comfortable to show it off. Most of the time I don't.

Now I have more motivation to knock off more weight. Lately there has been a dress that's been on my mind. Black dress that plunges a little in the front, but in the back it goes to my waist. Isn't that sexy? Pair that with black heels. Wow!!! Just too bad I don't have a man on my arm as an added accessory.

I know in order to even attempt to pull off that number, I would need to lose weight in the back. Gosh, thinking finding a dress like that and wearing it on a formal night, that inspires me to continue on with what I'm doing. If I'm gonna have it or have gotten it, why not really flaunt it. You only live once.
