its been a hell of a week!

This past week was very eventful! lots of working out, poker, laps in the pool and a rays baseball game!

The food eating has been so bad lately. I have been doing pretty well and on point...I did have pizza twice this week though which is out of the usual. I felt pretty guilty about it....I hate the feeling of guilt after I eat something I know is semi-bad for me.

We went to the Rays game on Wednesday! That was a lot of fun! We had box seats in the bullpen! I got to see and basically touch Jaso, Peralta, and Howell. It was awesome! Great game, we won extra innings in the 10th. Lots of fun! Pretty sweet!

Poker--well I am poor and can't really play, so that has kind of sucked for me. Giving up the love in my life :( lol.

Rich had a hockey game--they killed it. 10-0, complete shut out..nicely done. :) Love going to the ice hockey games...lots of sexy men ;]

So, guys any questions? About my exercise? About my dieting? I would love to tell more! XOXOXOX.

Thursday & Friday --- Classrooms, Poker & 30LB Goal met! :)

Hello Loves!

Thursday and Friday have been busy for me. Here's the breakdown:

Thursday:

(8:30am)

R: Hey Steph, wake up! Can you come help me at school at 12?
Me: Ugh, R you really had to wake me up this early to ask me that, couldn't you just wait til later to ask...
R: Is that a yes or no?
Me: Sure, let me go back to sleep though, I have another 2.5 hours til I have to get up and help you.
R: OKAY! THANKS!
.....10 minutes later my phone rings....
R: UHHH STEPH, I can only have helpers from now until 12, they changed it will you please come?
ME: UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. (rolls out of bed and goes to school with R)...

.....6 hours later I am still hanging up bulletin boards, funky colored letters, borders, cleaning off desks and tables and reorganizing R's room.

Then, I went to poker for two games and had a REALLY bad beat the second game...I would prefer not to talk about it, it makes me bitter. Let's just say this asshole pulls out Quad jacks on my flush draw and when I flopped a straight (almost a straight flush)...asshole. Can you tell I am bitter? Haha..



FRIDAY:



9:00 AM...

R: Hey Steph wake up come help me again.
Me: RAWR.
.....3 hours later my job was complete and R's room was perfect :) Kinda inspires me to be a teacher! :)

I weighed in this morning...30lbs down baby! EXACTLY do the point. :) So, that is really exciting for me...apparently I get a prize from Jessica, she left it with R. I cannot wait to get it tomorrow! :) Yay! I feel good, just want to keep trucking through it all :)

I came home the rest of the day and relaxed, cooked a healthy dinner for everyone and then relaxed...tomorrow I am going to Orlando early in the morning for an audition! WISH ME LUCK!

August 7th-16th...Busy times my friends! Falling off the band wagon!

Hey everybody!

I am SO sorry for not blogging the past 10 days! I feel so guilty! But things have been so crazy for R, Rich and I. We have had over 18 visitors these past couple weeks; so our time has been very occupied!

I am sad to admit that I did not hit my 30 lbs weight loss mark this past week, I know I have had A LOT of time to hit it, but I didn't. And it was only 1.4lbs....I feel like I let myself and my family down. But, it was so hard. VACATION = DEVIL. Because you think oh one piece of pizza here, one there a lollipop here won't kill you...ohhh no it sabotages you! I screwed myself over when my family came down because, ALL I wanted to do was throw away everything I learned the past two months and eat at 2am while playing poker!

But, it's okay. I can't kill myself over it...I just have to double and tripple time it ALL week and kick myself into gear...

ON A LIGHTER NOTE...

I did enjoy having my family down here all week...I have missed them so much and it was so emotional being with them. You don't know what you got til its gone and away from you...we did so many awesome things and had a lot of fun!

I FIT ON THE RIDES AT UNIVERSAL ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD GUESS WHERE ELSE NOW?!?!

DISNEY!!!! I FIT ON THE RIDES AT MGM!! It makes me so happy :) My favorite theme park and I am in the goods! :) So exciting...we did a lot of walking, swimming, amusement parks and just relaxing as a family...I will post tons of pictures the next time I blog...my mom still has all of them :)

I will not go back to CT unless I lose 50lbs....

SUNDAY-SUNDAY! ONE WEEK WITHOUT BLOGGING!!!

HELLO ALL!!

I am so sorry for not blogging this past week it has been CRAZY HERE! We have been preparing for our family that arrived on Friday! We will be in Orlando for a few days spending time with them. This week there was a lot of hard core exercising, dieting and activities (for I have a 30 pound goal loss to meet by August 14th!). I have lost 28.6lbs so far so I am only 1.4lbs away from my goal and over a week left to meet it! So exciting!

Lots of poker as usual for me and lots of yummy food.

Tuesday I went and visited my friend Natalie from CT who was staying in St. Petersburg near my home. We had lunch and dinner together I behaved! I had a grilled chicken salad with shrimp for lunch and a shrimp wrap for dinner! YUMMY! ALL in my WW points limits!

Thursday I played poker and I won the first game! Came in second place and made some money! THATS FOR YOU BRIAN EDGE!! I AM BRAGGING ABOUT WINNING!!! In the mean time I have been trained by Mr. David J. Bell! He is teaching how to bet, analyze, and calculate poker better. He also taught me some kind of silence is key at the table and just to listen and not give away too much information--with his help is how I won on Thursday! THANKS DAVE!!!

Saturday I spent the day in Orlando with my family, and today we are going out to celebrate Rich and my mommas birthday! Here are a few pics of the crew this far! MORE TO COME CHECK FACEBOOK!

Thursday-Sunday! Party Time!

Okay SO! R and Rich have been out of the house for the past five days because they went to New Orleans for Rich's 30th birthday! I have been having a lot of free time and fun times! My girlfriend Mel came up for the weekend and boy did we have a good time!

Thursday I went and played poker as usual with my buddies. Close but no cigar! LITERALLY! Because, I was close to winning, we played at a cigar bar, and I didn't smoke a cigar! haha!

Friday, I relaxed by the pool, worked out went to the gym and then Mel got here and we had dinner and went out in Ybor! We went to the Honey Pot! Oh my gosh! We had so much fun! I didn't even drink that much either, I stayed within my WW points like a good girl! Evidently, it was gay night at the bar which we did not know...I think I got hit on by more gay man that night then I have by straight men my whole life! Haha, it was funny. After, we then came back home and went night swimming at like 3am. :)

Saturday, we hung out by the pool, went to the gym and went out again. I actually worked for the next door neighbor, cleaning houses for a little bit to make some extra money I was desperate for. That night, we went to the Hard Rock with some of our friends, just to hang out at the bar and walk around. We didn't do any gambling..SURPRISE SURPRISE. Even though I was itching to go into the poker room, I fought the urge and stayed back. We came home and guess what...DID some night swimming again! This time it was 4am! Haha.

Sunday, we relaxed at home because it was an over cast day, ordered in some pizza and just relaxed. Mel left, I cleaned another house and then at night I hungout with our friend Dave and went and played poker. I made it pretty far last night--but no money. It sucks, I am poor, trying to make some good investments, it isn't working. Haha.

So, all the while there was a lot of going out and eating this week, I would say I still did pretty well. I lived off Boca Burgers, Pizza, Salad, and Eggplant. Not really that bad of a mix. You can eat what you'd like, even pizza if you are honest and stay within your points. I feel like I lost 3 lbs this week, don't ask me why I feel that way, haha. It is just my guess. We will see come tuesday! So far I have lost 23.8 pounds, lets see what happens at weigh in on tuesday!
