WEIGHT WATCHERS WEEKLY WEIGH-IN: 4 pounds LOST!

 

Look who decided to OFFICIALLY weigh-in! ME! and considering I hadn't OFFICIALLY weighed in for a month, I didn't do bad at all! 4 pounds lost, which is a pound a week! GO ME! See, even not attending meetings I can keep on track, especially enjoying life (and the CAKES that came with my birthday!)

HIGH OF THE WEEK

My portion control was ON point. I didn't deprive myself of the foods I wanted, in fact I made sure I portioned them out. Proud of myself because I could have gone buck wild! But didn't...and you will see how I did so, in my TIP OF THE WEEK

 

By the way, I decided to do a Before & After of LAST years birthday dress. I took it in and LOOK!! My curves!! WHOA!!! Me with all these curves and these men without no brakes.

LOW OF THE WEEK

I honestly didn't feel "pretty" if that makes sense, and there is a reason for that. I had thought I gained. Its true though, there is a mental game when losing weight. My lifestyle isn't just about the physical part, the mental and emotional part play a huge part of it! I am guilty of putting myself down this week.

WHAT I LEARNED

I think at weigh-in, I learned that I cant put myself down. My weight does not define me. Its just a number on the scale. A number I can change. I am a beautiful, strong woman....not too many women can say that. I am beautiful and my weight DOES NOT define me.

TIP OF THE WEEK!

PORTION CONTROL! PORTION CONTROL! PORTION CONTROL!

I cant stress this enough. So at work I was given panera cookies. GAH! they are amazing! but as you can see HIGH in points. VERY high. And as you can see the Peanut butter Dream is eaten...and I will tell you why. I cut it up into 4 pieces. I at 1/4th of it. That is 3 points plus of awesomeness! I didn't deprive myself at all.

I am doing this for the other two. In fact, I shared my other two cookies. If you can share, its portion control at its best.

Until next Wednesday weigh-in, CHEERS! 

2 more pounds to 50 and I know I can do this!

REVIEW: Veet ready-to-use Wax Strips (Latina VoxBox)

Hola! So recently Influenster sent me there Latina Beauty VoxBox! Exciting right. Instead of doing one HUGE blog about it, I decided to make it more personal and break down the items that came with the VoxBox individually. 

First up! 

VEET Ready To Use Waxing Strips!

 

My mom and I used this product to review, so you will get TWO reviews for this one in particular.

Mine:

It was SUPER easy to use, however I had a HUGE problem with the residue it left (wax that is) It was hard to come off, even with the finishing wipe. It had a bug-spray odor to it. Though I will say, for an over-the-counter wax, this did do the job.

MY RATING: 3 out of 5 stars

MOMS:

It wasa great wax to use. It did take off hair as it said it would. However I had a problem with it, actually the same as my daughters complaint. The wax residue was really hard to come off and the smell was unpleasant. 

Moms rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

You can check out Veet HERE and this particular product HERE!

Wax on! Wax off!

NAILS OF THE WEEK: Maybelline ColorShow "Blue Freeze"

COLOR: Blue Freeze

WHERE: I got mine at Walmart for $2. 49

SATURDAY'S WITH STEF: Done with Dating

 

I only have room for one Hank Moody in my life. Sure he isnt perfect. We go periods without talking to each, when we fight, we go hard, and when we love we love hard. When he wants to act like a douchebag, I let him and when I wanna throw a temper tantrum, he lets me. He comes and goes as he pleases and vice-versa. I don't have time for another man to run that kind of game.

This recent dude I was seeing, was giving Hank a run for his money. Making me an OPTION. No, no, no...I am not an option.Recent events that involved an incident made me delete him from my life after he was cussing and causing drama on my birthday. Well, I saw the way he was talking to some other female. SAME LINES HE RAN ON ME!

Then to make it worse, I was thinking back at all the times I had to check-in with him, all the times he made sure no other guy was getting my time, and all the times he SWORE that I was being taken seriously and made me take him seriously...THE WHOLE TIME I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE. Granted nothing was official, but really....really!?

I bowed out gracefully. He may be reading this in fact. -Shrugs-

Point is, I can sit here and tell you that I am hurt, blah, blah, blah...but Im not. It made me appreciate my Hank Moody even more. Twisted right. Hanks and mine timing is ALWAYS off and its been that way. Im okay with that. I have come to accept him as he is. He's accepted me as I am for YEARS! 

Im done with dating and I am letting the chips fall where they may. I am working on me and I have officially took the "douchebags apply here" sign off my forehead. NO DATING. I don't have time for it and personally, its better for me. 

I know when the man above is ready for me to be in a relationship, he'll place a man who is imperfectly perfect for me. 

There's only room for one Hank Moody in my life.

::Cheers!::

To being single, loving myself and knowing my worth.
