what the?!?! is J-hud thinking

She used to be a good rep for us but now she is getting a bit too [put not so nice adjective here].

Last year because she was new to the celeb game, I forgave her. For not wearing a body shaper to the BET Awards. For lying saying she weighed 140lbs (she's 5'7, she would have looked a lot slimmer if she did). And for a plethora of other big girl offences.

But now it's too much. She is constantly looking like a stuffed sausage, wearing things that don't fit her. Look at her at the Sex and the City premiere? What would Jesus do if He saw her in that outfit or in the white dress with the peek-a-boo pink bra at the MTV Movies award?

Last night's (at the BET 2008 Awards) atrocity of an outfit (and hair do) have me wondering if J-Hud has lost her mind? Never mind the uncomfortable as hell scripted banter between her and Terrence Howard, what was she wearing? *Shaking my head*.

Besides not embracing an embracing girdle, J-hud's style in 2007 was good. Her hair was on point. Now she is experimenting too much.

My question is basically, now that you (J-hud) have a little cheddar, why not get yourself a trainer and lose some of that belly flab? I like you a lot. You are talented and can sang but I can't bring myself to look at you looking like you're about to burst.

P.S. Maybe you can get some tips from Toccara on how to keep it nice and fly if you're over 145.

.::New Goal::.

So when I first hit the 160's I got cocky over confident. I decided to bring up/down my goal to 140! Even wrote a long letter about my journey thus far, a bunch of corny stuff.

After struggling to make smart diet choices for the past 3 weeks though, I have decided to re-evaluate everything.

I thank God though because the scale, which was at 172ish last week, is back to saying 160 something (this morning-167.1). Also, despite eating out, being glutenous and late eating, I have been on point with my new workout regiment which has me running everyday - 2km 3x/week and 5km 2x/week. I boo booed and didn't work out this weekend though and even took a day off in the week but I think the intensity of running daily has boosted my metabolism.

So my conclusion is to bring my goal to 144, making my total desired loss 50lbs. It's a weird number I know. A bonus goal is for me to weigh that much in shoes (cus i was 194 in shoes). That would still make my goal just above 140 though.

I refuse to get suckered into wanting to weigh far less than 145. Even if 145 looks like crap on other people, I have confidence that my 145 will have me in a size 8US, 7/8CAN, 10UK. It will have me looking better than I've ever looked in my life.

Other than that I will be trying to maintain everything now that my schedule is changing.

what the?!?!

it's been 2 weeks since I weighed in and despite a kick butt workout regime, I haven't lost a damn thing (with the exception of my mind). I've been here before though, at a 'plateau' but I have been changing things up so what is going on?

Either way, I have just gotten the Eat Clean Diet book (and met the lovely author Tosca Reno) and will commit myself to 'eating clean' for the next couple of week until my next weight in. I have to see 160! or even less.

First of the Month Weigh In

Because I do not conduct business on Sundays my weigh-in was deferred to to this morning.

Confession: In the three weeks that I didn't weigh myself I had/did the following

• Ate the equivalent of one whole 7" diameter cake (oreo cake from A&P-amazing)


• ate at a restaurant twice (3 courses--yes, dessert)


• drank about a bottle of wine


• only worked out 3 times in the second week


• had a snickers bar....

I'm sure i messed up more than that but those are some big ones....

so with all of that I'm am DARN proud to say that as of 8.40am this morning i weigh 166.5lbs

Only 1.5lbs off from what I wanted but 1.5lbs below what i was supposed to be at....it's a good day! It must have been all the running I've been doing! I ran 5km the other morning (sat. May 24th) after a hard and intense step class...and let me not forget the walking it out...every time I over ate, my feet hit the pavement.

Recap:

Week # = 9 (from 186lbs)

Goal #1 = 160 (so darn close...if I'm really good for two weeks I can WILL get there

Goal #2 = 145

Goal Size = 7/8
Current Weight = 166.5 lbs

Current Size = 11/12 37-30.5-42.5
