WEIGHT WATCHERS WEIGH IN

Today I went to a Weight Watchers meeting and weighed in. I am now 187.8 pounds which is a 1.6 pound weight loss this week, and a 12.6 pound loss since I've started Weight Watchers in March, and a 19.6 pound loss since I've started my weight loss journey in January. I'm a little disappointed, but I am learning to appreciate any kind of weight loss. Well until next time...

GIRL YOU BETTER WORK

I have been looking for a cute swim suit for the longest and I was browsing through one of my favorite blogs (fashionbombdaily.com), and she had a post on plus size swim suits, and this was one of the swim suit lines she was talking about. The website is called monifc.com, I couldn't wait to buy one until I saw that the swim suits start at a size 14. Yes I am top heavy but I am to small for a 14, but then I started to wonder maybe I can a seamstress take it in; do you think that could work? Anyway monifc.com has more the swimsuits they have dresses, shoes, and accessories also. May I say though this girl is working these outfits... GIRL YOU BETTA WORK!

Until next time...

MY LATEST ONLINE PURCHASES

All of a sudden at work I had a rush of excitement about my Miami trip in October, and my birthday in September. Since I have nothing else to do with my time at work I decided to do a little online shopping. I was only planning on buying one dress as a possible birthday dress, but I got a little carried away.

This was my first purchase of the day; as you can see my girl Kim K wore something similar to it a while ago.

I think this white dress would be perfect for Miami, or the white parties that come up at the end of the summer.

I think this is the contender for my birthday dress; if you couldn't tell from my last Vegas pictures on my birthday I love a sequin dress.


Just to let everyone know all of the dresses that I bought are a size 8, so if I can't fit into a size 8 dress by my birthday then I won't have anything to wear, and I definitely won't be going to Miami looking like a beached whale. It shouldn't be so hard for me to fit into a size 8 dress considering that the dress I wore on my birthday last year was a size 10, but instead of looking like a stuffed pig in a dress I want it to be able to fit right meaning NO SPANX! So what do you think? Do you think that I can do it? Or do you think that my goal isn't challenging enough? Until next time...

Love,

Jessica





IT'S TIME TO LET HIM GO LADY

Chrissy and Jim Jones

Jim Jones' mother

I was watching one of my guilty pleasures Love & Hip Hop it was the reunion special last night; it wasn't as entertaining as I thought it was going to be, but neither was the show really so I don't know what I was really expecting. I must say though all of the ladies did look nice except Somaya (the one w/ the bright red lipstick). After the show one of my friends and I had a talk about one of the cast mates named Chrissy (the one in the grey jumpsuit). She is with a rapper by the name of Jim Jones; his mother is very over bearing and by looks of things is almost impossible for Chrissy to get along with. Me and my friend talked about a few situations where we had to deal with some past and one present relationship where we have to deal with over bearing over protective mothers of grown ass men.

So my question to all the ladies and men (if it applies to you); would you be able to be in a relationship with someone who has an over bearing mother? Like I said earlier I've had my share of boyfriends with over bearing mothers, and I couldn't stand it! On top of that what can I say to my boyfriend; "your mama gets on my nerves and I can't stand her." No I can't say that, so I either have to sit there and take it or leave. When I'm in a relationship it's me and you not me you your mama. I believe that most mothers that are like that are miserable and lonely and want their son's to fill in as there man instead of their grown adult son. I'm sorry for the rant, but I just had to say how I felt about this situation. Until next time...

MY FIRST YOGA CLASS

I'm back everyone; I took a little break from blogging last week because I have a very stressful week last week. Anyway a week and a half ago I went to my first yoga class, and it was pretty challenging. But when I finished it I felt so good and energized. I will definitely go to more classes, but my work schedule seems to interfere with most of the classes at the studio I went to. So if anyone knows any other classes in the Oakland, CA area please let me know; Thank you in advance... Until next time...

Jessica

BIKRAM YOGA

Sunday I start my first yoga class at Bikram's Yoga College- Oakland. I'll be going by myself this time so I doubt I'll be able to take any pictures. I'm not sure how well I'll do considering I don't have much experience with yoga outside of this yoga DVD I bought a few years ago. Hopefully I'll be able to stick with it so I can be a flexible as this lady in the picture. Wish me luck that I don't embarrass myself during my first yoga class; until next time...
