bout to head up to shreveport in just a bit for the miss gay northwest pageant which is a nice five hour drive! and we were in alexandria last weekend, which is a two hour drive. and in biloxi the weekend before that (2 hour drive). and was in houma june 25 (2 hour drive), alexandria june 27th and monroe july 7th (4 hour drive)! No wonder i’m always tired!! lol… and all of that was for drag purposes, except the trip to biloxi. oh, and we will be back in alexandria next weekend!!

oh, well, you only live once!

my brother is in lumberton, mississippi right now, about to go up to 14,000 feet and jump! he’s using my gift certificate i got for christmas, cuz i was too lazy to lose the weight i needed to lose and the certificate was about to expire.

ok, gotta finish packing…

weigh-in was monday and i had lost 8 pounds my first week on adipex. woohoo! a long way to go. only “cheated” one meal last week. went to the gym 5 days, and still no coke or caffeine products. go me!!

… to get you through the week!

The bf and I drove up to alexandria yesterday to go out at Olympus bar last night. We surprised Dominique cuz she didn’t know we were coming up for the show. It was supposed to start at 11:30 but just before it started, the power went out. What was supposed to be a 20 minute outage stretched for quite a while longer. A lot of the crowd stayed sitting there with the emergency lights til the power came back on.

Finally at about 2Am the show started! Needless to say, it was about 4:30 this morning before we got to bed. today We had lunch with Dominique delorean, Fabian, marshea st. Clair and Dan and Eric, the owners of Olympus. Then we went back to the bar and hung out most of the afternoon just visiting and talking about the mgla pageant and taking measurements of the stage for the website.

Just crossed over the atchafalaya basin, so we’ll be home in about an hour or so.

I’m tired! And we have to go to Shreveport next weekend!

so, for the past ten years of my life, i have struggled with my weight. it has been an up and down cycle, for the most part. i weighed 165 when my son was born in 1990, but started gaining weight a few years after that.

last year, i was up to 299.5 before starting a healthy eating program, the gym and adipex. i lost 50 pounds, down to 249.5. but then we hit a roadblock called life, and being too busy to make time for all of that, and the weight started to creep back on.

well, this monday, we both went back to professional weight loss. i was up to three-o-eight.five. yes, 308.5 pounds!! i was in denial that i had gained that much weight, even though most days i felt like shit, and my sex life had pretty much gone to hell in a handbasket!

but then i saw it as a challenge. i know how to lose weight. i know how to get healthy. i was well on my way last year, and have struggled to get back on the right path this year.

but i will do it! i have been eating healthy all week. i have done cardio at the gym every morning for 45 minutes. i have had no caffeine or carbonated drinks all week. i’m gonna do it!!
