What? It's only been 20 days...

I have nailed failure. For sure.
Did you miss me? I will never gain a following pulling a disappearing act like that and I apologize. I just can't write with no inspiration. This month has really sucked overall for inspiration!  I did feel a spark of inspiration tonight though from a post on Facebook. I am friends with this guy who is also a personal trainer and he had shared a picture & story of one of his clients and her story. It seems like everybody elses success story except for that part where she says she finally one day started believing in herself. Believing truly that she deserved her health and she deserved happiness and that was when it all clicked. I keep getting off track and running in circles in my life, focusing on one thing at a time for about 2 days at a time. I just cannot seem to fit everything into my life. I want to dance more, sing more, play guitar more, read more, dream more, learn more, and there just is no time people!
I feel inspired and truly believe in myself when I have a purpose. When I'm creating or entertaining.

I continue to be a work in progress, but tonight I am starting to see the puzzle pieces come together.

Beyonce Sells Pepsi? Doubtful.

I saw a commercial tonight with Beyonce selling Pepsi and I have to say, it's pretty hard to believe that Beyonce would drink that stuff. You don't get a Beyonce body or booty by drinking pop! It's about as believable as any of those pop stars trying to sell McDonalds. Riiiight.

Working on my writers block. Hope to be back soon friends :)

Weight Watchers

I have joined Weight Watchers online. I have been on weight watchers before, about 2 years ago and went to the meetings and everything! I'm now doing online so we'll see how that goes. I've only been doing it for about 4 days and apparently I forgot everything about it so re-learning the plan has been a hassle. I decided to re-join after I realized I had gained exactly 1 pound more than when I had started this attempt. I have officially 8 weeks to get it together. This weight watchers plan is for about 3 months so perfect time. I've been down and out this week but hope to be back to normal this weekend! Here's hoping!

Another Monday

Fat Amy says F*ck you snow! It's spring!
It's Monday again and wow, another shitty one. I haven't posted but mostly because I don't have anything to say lately. I've been searching for some inspiration and some motivation and haven't found it yet. I think this snow is bringing me down.

Anywho, I did get some more walking in because I don't plan on running the 5K but I do need to at LEAST be able to walk the damn thing! So I went back to the Metro park from last week and found a few more areas that I hadn't been to yet. The trail was easy to walk so it was Tessa-proof. That earned a big ole thumbs up from me!
And a thumbs up from Chuck. He's kind of a big deal...

I also read about another trail that runs behind a bunch of huge fancy rich people houses in my town so I went and investigated. I brought Sophie and she did alright. She was so excited she was whining and barking at the same time (which I did not realize was possible) all while doing her happy dance. We didn't go too far since she was about to stroke out from all the excitement. I went back later and walked the whole distance with Chris and it goes back a lot further than you would think and it looped around. We ended up spotting 10 deer about 20 feet away. I tried to lure them closer but my high pitched baby voices and waving did nothing to convince them I was safe and without a shotgun apparently so they took off into the woods.

NOTE: This scares deer away.
Actually thinking back, they took off into some even richer peoples backyards, not more woods. Speaking of those backyards one of them had a huge tennis court which was expected, what was not expected? The above ground K-Mart pool set up on it. I wish I had my camera to take a picture. They seriously erected a pool on their no longer used tennis court. It was kind of refreshing. Money can't buy class people.

Yes I've skipped two weeks of weigh-ins. I will be back on target this week, pinkie promise.

Peace & Love Homes,

Monday is a Biiiitch

Assbag. HAH. Monday is the worst day ever. On the bright side, I wouldn't enjoy Fridays if it wasn't for that bitch Monday.

Lay off the caffeine pills you speed freak!
This weekend I took my little pupperface Sophie to some parks and enjoyed some fresh air! We had a semi-decent walk. She is not a very good walking partner. She is what you would call reactive. Well you would probably call her a pain in the ass, but our puppy trainers previously told us she is reactive. Basically that is a fancy word for she is a ball of excitement and she just can't hide it. Just call her Jesse Spano. She barks and spins and her hair stands on end and she has no interest in listening to us, her pet parents. This makes walking difficult, as you can imagine! My dream when we finally got a dog after years of begging the hubs was that I would get a little pup to go on long walks with me and we'd just stroll down the street, just puppy and me! *cue corny 50's music*

Ideal Situation
What really happens:

There are no pictures to fully describe her craziness

This summer there will be more clicker training and counter conditioning and someday maybe she'll be my dream walking partner. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the treadmill in the basement watching Pretty Little Liars. Today I went farther than I have before at 1.5 miles! Believe me, I understand if this is unimpressive to you. I was super stoked at my distance and then my husband who has never used the treadmill before in his life jumped on up and did 1 mile on speed 8 in 10 minutes. Really dude? Reallllllly?

Today I did make myself proud for getting back up on that treadmill. Also for dinner I made some grilled chicken and veggies and it was really good. I think I did good today overall! Not good enough as I sit here and watch The Biggest Loser finale. Go newly skinny minnies! Damn these people barely resemble their old selves! *applause*

Well that pain in that ass pupperface is ringing her bells, that's my signal to jet.

Peace,
T

Edited to add a cute picture of Sophie and my hubs today at a park:

Happy Tuesday



I found that little nugget on the internet and just had to share. The Biebs sucks.
