Try again

So my attempt at blogging daily failed miserably, so wth I am gonna give it another try. I think I am not gonna put so much pressure on myself to blog daily, I am however going to share my weight loss journey, with anyone who happens to come across this blog and read it :) Back in October of 2011 I started a lil weight loss challenge with a bunch of women in my facebook world, short story you pay twenty bucks the person who loses the most weight percentage wise wins the pot. I named the challenge cyalaita fat pants, on Friday January 13th we started another one this one will run until April 13th. I have always been a chunky girl, of course it never really concerned me until I realised how flippin hard it was to lose weight, and that chunky girls clothes cost way more than average size girls clothes do. You know it really isn't about weight loss but overall health. I will never have a bikini body and I am 100% okay with that, I love my curves (and so do some men of the world) I just want to be around years from now to see my grandchildren grow up. So I am attempting this weight loss challenge with the assistance of body by vi shakes kind of like slim fast but way better for you. My goal is to lose about sixty pounds, I have lost forty before so I believe I can do it. After I lose the weight this time I will not be getting pregnant again. Day one went fairly well, just like any major change there is an adjustment period. The hardest part is no bread, I LOVE BREAD, I seriously could survive on bread alone. But I made it through day one with no bread, made my kids lunches this morning and did not make myself a sandwich too, this is progress. Bring on Day 2.

A proper introduction

So I suppose if I am going to maintain any interest I should introduce myself, I am Chrystal, mother, wife, daughter, friend, employee, and sometimes being all of those things makes me tired. I have three amazing children ages 11, 9, and 3, I am the .1% that they refer to when they tell you about the effectiveness of the birth control shot..lol. I had been on depo for six years when the Lord said hey I have another child I need you to take care of for me. Back then I was a little overwhelmed now I can not imagine life without Ms. Scarlett. I rarely have free time but when I do I love to sing, I have been in local theatre which I love, and of course karaoke :). I am a worry wart, I worry about everything and everyone, it is a borderline illness, which I am desperately trying to fix, and so I worry that I worry too much. I hate liars, rain, and male chauvinist pigs. I am chunky but funky, I workout daily, watch what I eat and still manage to have one of the biggest asses in California ;), I am a very routine person, and become aggravated when my routine is screwed up. I wish that sometimes I could say exactly what comes to my mind when I deal with the world. I am just trying to be the best mother I can possibly be, and have a little fun along the way. I hope this wasnt to long for anyone who chose to read it and believe me this just barely scratched the surface of who I am.

Okay lets give it a whirl

So my good friend, Christine, started herself a blog and she recently bragged how fun and enlightening it was and how she was discovering things about herself and I felt a twinge of jealousy so I thought what they hay I will try to. I remember when I was younger I actually would write to vent, whether it was poems, or songs or just I freakin hate you notes, I distinctly remember feeling so much better after doing so. Will people find my life interesting enough to follow who knows, but I can not afford a therapist so this will have to do.
