Awakened from the dead!

Hello everyone!! Yes I am still alive!

I decided to take a break from blogging for a while. 
Things were just getting too stressful, 
and I couldn't seem to find the time to write. 

BUT NOT ANYMORE!! 
FEAR NO MORE BLOGGER FRIENDS! 
THIS FED UP FAT GIRL IS BACK!! 
Back and ready to take this thing called weight loss, and 

KILL IT! 

Let me update everyone on what's been going on! I still haven't been able to lose the weight I want, so I am going to start writing here again,
and hopefully doing some Vlogs. 

{I still need to set up my webcam and all that jazz, 
so for now we will just shoot for blog posts! 
Gotta start small right!! ha!} 

After the latest season of The Biggest Loser, 
I became really inspired to reach out and ask for help from 
the people off the show. By twitter and facebook, I contacted 
a few of them and asked for some suggestions and tips 
for someone who is wanting to lose around 100lbs. 
They were generous and totally answered me! 

THEN

I entered a contest on Facebook via Biggest Loser Contestant 
and fellow Utahn, the beautiful Sarah Nitta!
remember her??

{isn't she fabulous!? She lost over 100 pounds!}

We had to tell our story of why we gained weight 
and why we want to lose weight, and I was picked {along with 3 others!}
To get a VIP pass to The Biggest Loser Casting Call in SLC!!



I decided right then and there that whether or not 
I got on The Biggest Loser, I needed to take 
a stand and change my life once and for all!

I'm sick of being stuck this way!
I'm going to do it!
 cuz baby, I'm a firework...lol 
 that song just came on!

When I didn't get the call {man I wanted that so bad}
I cried. I was at the drive-in crying while watching 
rise of the planet of the apes lol. But Hubbs whispered to me 
"You don't need the show to change your life, you can do it!"
As pissed as I was when he told me that, He is right. 
As bad as I wanted to be on the show, 
I can STILL do it at home. 
AND...
WHEN
I do it, I will have done it myself!

Although I didn't get on Biggest Loser, I feel like I learned a lot.
Just filling out that application helped me come to terms with 
my weight, and that it's going to take hard work
to get to my healthy weight.

I joined this group called Commitment Team on Facebook, 
that Sarah set up to help get people to commit to something, 
and be held accountable for it.
It's amazing the amount of inspiration that comes from this group.
I love being a part of it. 
Just last week, Hubbs and I made a commitment to not eat out for lunch, 
and make healthier choices. And just in 6 days, I lost 5 POUNDS!

I LOVE IT!

So starting tomorrow I am going to make sure to get my exercising in,
No fast food for lunch, and cut down on Pop. 

{I've got to start small in the pop area...I seriously am addicted!}


I will post more about my starting weight and all that tomorrow!

Have a great day everyone!!
