The skinny bitch is finally getting with the program.

It's that time again. The fat chick vs the scale.

Arghh.

Remember last week when I said that I would have progress to report?

Has the suspense been killing you? Was she serious this time, for the love of all things fat and in need of a good ass-kicking, or was she just blowing smoke up our skirts?

Well, peeps, I am happy to say that I have finally started to turn the worm (or something).

Don't get too excited. The scale isn't showing any progress. In fact, it is my enemy this week. I gained 1.8 since my last weigh in, which was a couple weeks ago.

I'm not really stressing over that though. I'm not happy about it, but that isn't new.

Remember last week when I said that my goal for this week was non scale related? Remember when I said that my goal was to master the stripper pole at Spanks (just testing you)?

For those of you who weren't reading last week, my goal was to find my motivation and finally kick that inner skinny bitch into gear.

Did I do it? You bet your fat little ass!

I may have gained on the scale, but I was a loser otherwise (you know what I mean) because I actually got my fat ass moving. I walked 1/2 the neighborhood with the pup on two seperate days. I did yoga on two days also. The first day of yoga ended with me yelling at the tv because I was so out of shape and it was clearly their fault, but I still did it. Today, I did Slim in 6, minus the squat segment because my lower back was too tight for that particular exercise. Then, I did another session of yoga.

Woohoo!

The inner skinny bitch is back and she's ready to bust free!
It's about damn time, but I have finally had enough of being a fat ass. I have finally reached the point where I am ready to do this. Really do this.

Yay!

So, onward and downward for next week. My goal is to focus on the exercise. I want to exercise 4 days next week. My plan is to make a workout schedule for the week and stick to it. I also want to focus on better meal planning so I can eat healthier. As for the scale, I hope to see a loss, but I'm not going to stress over it yet. I'm going to start with the other changes and go from there.

I'm excited to see how you guys did this week. Hope everyone had a good week.

If you're interested, I want to share a recipe I tried this week. My only suggestion is to leave the squash out. I think it would be better without it. Enjoy!
