HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
I know I'm all late and wrong, but hey, better late then never! I hope all is well with everyone. It feels so good to be putting an entry on this blog. I miss updating my downfalls, lol and yes of course victories.
Last two months I have been juicing and doing the Green Smoothie Cleanse. I will later post the GSC by JJ Smith (I think) on here so if you are interested you can try it out. I will start it again today. I did lose a several pounds but not as much as I would like.
My start weight was 225lbs. Then I dropped down to 209lbs, then after Super Bowl and a day later I'm now 215, lol.
So I must get cracking with the healthy eating. Summer is around the corner, my daughter's high school graduation is this May, I want to travel and wear a 2 piece bathing suit and look super cute. I'm tired of looking at all these clothes in my closest, and can't fit my dang thigh or arm in any of them. It's so frustrating. I pretty much wear the same clothes everyday, lol. Black pants and I change up the shirt of course. The pants are a size 18 from Calvin Klein. I must say they are getting too big and I'm so happy.
My friends and I are suppose to be going to the CIAA this year which is Feb 26th. I need to be ready. Oh and a good college friend of mine invited me to the concert with Black Street, SWV, BBD, and a couple of other artist. He's the dj and he now travels/touring with these celebs all across the country playing for them.
Well needless to say I want to look friggin GOOD! I mean flat out darn beautiful and 10lbs lighter, lol. Mind you the concert is Feb 15 in Baltimore, Md. So I don't have much time but I will bust my tail.
I will update you all probably next Monday. So my start weight is 215 and my goal is 205 by Feb. 14th. I will be doing the Green Smoothie Cleanse to hopefully achieve this weight loss.
Ok that's it for now, and I wish you all the best on your weight lost journey!!!

I Gained it Back! UGH!
You read it correctly!!! LOL!
But you know what, I"m back on eating health right after I get my Krispy Kreme fix this weekend. Delaware has finally reopened a down south popular doughnut shop, Krispy Kreme!
Off that. After my divorce which was two years ago, I starting picking up my old eating habits. I didn't have time to cook because my children and I were always on the go due to the commute to school. I could have chosen healthy fast food items, but I didn't. I didn't want to nor did I care about my salt intake, portion size, fried, etc....
Welpers, lol I'm now a whooping 217lbs. Yes, you read correctly. I was 225 but I started the Green Smoothie Cleanse. So I did drop a few. It would have been more but I kept cheating and taking a "break" from the cleanse. I can't wait to show you all pictures. However I will say this, I'm not as big as I was when I started this journey, so hey, that's good!. Oh I wear a tight size 14 and XL in clothes.
Monday (why always Monday we want to start eating healthy, lol) I will start and record my journey AGAIN!!!! Glad I can be honest with my feelings on here. I hope someone can be inspired with this.
Miss you all and thanks for your patience!

I Discovered A New Cookie...Snickerdoodles
Unfortunately I was introduce to this cookie last week. They taste like some type of spice cake, carrot cake of some sort. Then I had the nerve to add walnuts to the snickerdoodle dough and OMG, those were the best cookies ever! Oh and don't forget the ice cold milk to go along this warm, delectable cinnamon sweet soft goodness. Did I say that right?! Well, it taste right and that's all I need to say.

Oh Dear!!! I'm Busted!
Ok, confession time.
I was doing so good before Turkey Day (Thanksgiving). I actually lost 9lbs which brought me down to 150lbs. I was so happy because I was not far from being in the 140's again. Well, well, well! That dang turkey and fixins' really fixed my tail, lol. I'm embrassed to say that I gained it all back. So now I'm 159 again. Sniff, sniff! Dang stuffing, potote salad, rice, yams, greens, gravy, turkey!!! Oh and let's not forget about my dessert plate, sniff, sniff, whaahaaaa!!!! What was I thinking?! It is what it is. Then of course you know the next day I still was eating as if I missed Thanksgiving, ugh! Double UGH!!!
EXHALE!
I need to take a pic of my 159 self and post it. I will. Now I'm going to go and do what I need to do. My doctors will not be disappointed in my weight. I will be happy and so will they.
When I did drop the 9 pounds, these size 10 were so huge on me. I was getting excited because I knew I could be in a size 6 in no time. Now I need more time, lol, lol! Oh dear!
Yesterday and today I ate horribly. Today I had cheese curls, peanut butter jelly sandwich, candy, a juicy burger, and a sprite soda. Not used to drinking sodas, so when I did, I nearly choked. So back to pure water, my good friend.
I will try and find a recent pic. I did cut my hair. It's very low and I like it. I will show in the next post if not tonight. It's in a mohawk now.
So I'm starting my renal diet (again, lol) tommorrow. As I am typing, I am eating this coconut pie that is so darn good. I will wash it down with a cup of cold milk.
Thanks for reading!!!
Just Angela!

Start Weight Again
I believe I started my weight @ 163lbs. I was too scared to weigh myself when I did that last post because I didn't want to face the music. Ugh! Plus I was feeling down in the dumps from the weight gain.

Back on the Grind/ Weight Loss Operation Starts Now
I need to lose a good 15-20lbs! Yes I gained due to salty and fatty foods. When I first gained 5 pounds I thought nothing of it. No big deal, right? I can easily get that off. Well 5 pounds turned into 10 pounds and then it went to 15lbs. Oh brother!!! Arms are big, stomach hanging over, can barely get in my size 6 without using my oxygen tank and my joints are so stiff. Not good!

BODIES IN MOTION
Don't laugh, but this is who I work out with. No it's not Billy Blanks, Bollywood Bodies, All Star Work Outs, Brazilian Butt Lift, Insanity, or some fancy high gear overrated die hard workout, but it's good ole Gilad from Hawaii! No, he doesn't have all the glist and glamour but the brother gets the job done. Since I'm still recovering from the kidney biopsy, he's the best for me during this season. Small simple moves have tone and slim me down tremendously! Its amazing how I don't have to go at a high extreme heart busting movement to get the heart rate up. With Gilad, all you have to do is focus on the muscle and make it burn! Heart rate will go up and you will slim down with basic moves. Confession, when I first started the workouts, I couldn't keep up at all, but as I did it everyday I was able to go a little further. Even now as I type, I still may not be able to keep up, but I keep going.

Thank You Everyone For the Love!!
My dear readers (if I have any left). I was out sick and ended up in the hospital the whole month of January! I am still recuperating and taking it one day at a time. I am here and we will continue A Different Me because it is my passion and goal to get on the right track eating healthy. However I need to take this time to heal properly and focus on my health.

Happy New Year Everyone!/I'm sick but will be back!
I know I said I will be back posting in Jan.2010, but who knew I would be sick with the H1N1! Yup, thought it wouldn't happen to me but it did. Worst thing ever. So I just wanted to let you all know I'll be back when I'm over it. Had it since Dec.24 and got worst. I haven't moderated any comments yet, but I will soon. So if you sent a comment, it will be posted. Give me time please.

Weigh In Week 15/Closing this blog Til Jan.2010
To my surprise, when I got on the scale, I am still 181lbs! I could have sworn I lost weight. I must say I think I lost some inches though. So I didn't gain or lose. I just maintained what I have lost which is good.

Weigh In Week 14/Lemon & Lime
Last time I weighed in I was 184lbs. To my surprise after doing absolutely nothing I lost 3lbs. So I am now exactly 181 lbs. I can't even see how that happened. I didn't do any type of excerise nor a whole bunch of fruits and veggies. I must say I didn't eat much and my job had me hustling so I guess that was my cardio. Check this out, the night before I weighed in, I had intentions of doing 50 stomach crunches, but only did 10 crunches. I was thinking to myself as I was doing the crunches, "I am so silly, do I really think that these crunches are going to flat out my stomach in one night?!" So I stopped, that's why it was just 10 crunches, lol.

Weigh In Week 13
Hello lovely readers! No picture of the scale with my weight. Batteries totally died and there was not chance of getting any juice out of them. However, remember my last weigh in was @ 181. Well after taking a 2 week break plus Thanksgiving (inhaling all of the food you can eat day), I am proud to say that I am currently 184! I only gained 3lbs. Talk about happy and relieved! LOL! So happy! So happy! So happy! Yipeeeee!!!!!

Thanksgiving is Over!/ Weigh In Is Monday
I didn't do bad this year for Thanksgiving. Although I ate more then usual, I still think I did farely well. After all, it is Thanksgiving, right? I had ONE plate with just about everything on it. Then I later got a slice of chocolate cake with ice cream and I didn't even eat it all.

Update
Believe it or not I will be really focusing on the whole 'getting it together'. Quite honestly I feel relieved as if a burden has been lifted off of me since I will be weighing in Nov. 30th. I can focus on other things. Thanks guys for bearing with me on this. I just need this time not to report my weight. No, I'm not hiding. Matter of fact, remember when I said I did put some weight on, well, I gained 6lbs. Most of it was water weight because two days later I weighed myself and I was 4lbs lighter. I'm not even sweating it, nor am I thinking about Thanksgiving.

Don't Like the Hair, Then Use Nair!
Nair is one of my favorite products for hair removal. I forgot to take a picture of the facial Nair creme, but you can find it with the other Nair products.
I have been using Nair for many years. Removing hair from legs, under arms, chin, upper lip, jawline, and even private area is so easy. Just do it before taking a shower or a bath!
There is nothing worse then for me to see a woman's hairy underarms. Yeck! Me seeing that takes me over the edge. If you are wearing sleeveless shirts, please keep your underarms clean. Looking at hairy pits with deodorant stuck in the hairs (looks like a cotton field) is so not the answer.
I Naired my underarms a couple of days ago. I try not to shave because it will have your underarms looking darker. I forgot the proper name of what cosmologist call it, but I'm sure you have seen the dark cloud (as I call it) under female arms. So I try and not shave, but when I'm in a rush, I do shave.
Oh, before I forget, the only thing I don't like about Nair body lotion is the smell of it. It smells funny, that's why I like to take a hot shower when I have used it.
So there are some of my products I use for hair removal: Nair Microwave Wax and Nair Body Lotion. Don't exceed 10 minutes. Enjoy the radiant smooth skin!

Bush Baby/Blue M.A.C. Makeup
Got my hair done and I'm somewhat pleased. This isn't the best hair style, but it sure does beat disappointed. First of all, this wasn't the curl weave I wanted to get. I wanted the cork screw, but this is the tight spiral. She sewed it all up and viola! When I first saw the weave, I was a little nervous, but after playing with it and putting mousse in, it worked out ok with me.
Not the first time I had the bush look. It's cute and I do like. There's my bush baby look!
So I decided to spruce it up for you guys. As you can see, I got my contacts in. I also have on makeup. My camera does it absolutely no justice. It makes my eyes look watery and makeup funny, so I can't wait to invest in the Cannon camera. Crystal clear! Off that....
The colors of the eye shadow clockwise: Fresh water, Deep truth, SKETCH, and Patina.
I used Lancome's lipstick called Couture Chocolate and lancome's juicy top lip gloss, Toffee Pop.
My hair is really big and bushy but why does it look so small in the picture! Hair is puffy but it will lay down flatter after I wear it for a while.
I don't know how long I will be wearing this doo. I guess until it looks a hot mess. So there you have it. I will update this picture on the right side of my blog. Thanks for stopping by!
