Weight Struggle - Want my Sexy Jeans Figure Back!

All of you that are following my blog know that I have been trying to lose wight for a while now and the struggle is hard. I have not given up, but I am almost running out of options it feels like. I used to shed weight only by thinking of it... well to be honest, I have never deeded to lose weight before but once I tried I would always succeed with little effort.

I feel a boot camp is needed in this case! A strict boot camp. The same boot camp I did before I got married... But I ask myself if I can, if I have the energy to do it. Back then I only worked 4 hour days and was able to concentrate on my training and diet with full force. Will I be able to do it again? Without a wedding and a wedding dress at the end?? What motivation should I use this time? My favorite pair of jeans that I haven't been able to ware for years?? (Yes I still have them and I brought them with me to the US when I moved too).

Maybe I CAN do it... Maybe if I got your help... Maybe I should start a SEXY JEANS BOOT CAMP on Facebook?? And people can join and we can fight together??? What do you think - would you wanna join me? Would you want to have a whole group of people trying to reach the same goal?? - Heck LET'S DO IT!! I will post a link to the webpage when I have it done! I need you guys, together we might reach better success!!! I am excited!

Sexy Jeans Here I Come - Again...

Messy weekend

Hey everyone... sorry for my absence.
Hope your July 4th celebration was superb! I enjoyed way more Mike's Lemonade than I should have had.. but that is what happens sometimes and it is all good - I had fun!

We did have a little incident in our kitchen though before the weekend: On Thursday morning when I woke up I noticed that there were some spots in the ceiling but didn't think too much about it and left for work. Thursday night when I came home from work the spots where still there, and in fact - they had gotten bigger... so we called our landlord to let him know. He planned to stop by after the weekend and that was fine with us.

But when we woke up on Friday our kitchen floor was full of water and a steady stream came poring out from underneath the cabinets at the same time as it was dripping heavily from the ceiling... GREAT!

6:15 am - we found our kitchen in distress
6:20 am - trying to wake up our neighbor above by knocking on her door
6:25 am - no answer from her, we called our landlord
6:40 am - our landlord comes and starts knocking on her door - still no answer. I should also mention that we know she is home because she has her car parked outside.
6:45 am - our landlord calls the water people to have them come out and shut off the water
7:00 am - the water people comes and starts knocking on her door because they can't turn off the water without her knowing. No answer, and they call the cops because they need to be there for them to turn off the water to her apartment.
7:10 am - police comes by and they also starts knocking on her door, even kicking on her door... by this time the whole building is awake and wants to know what is going on - or at least the two crazy old ladies that lives there do. They are full of ides of what we should do... one says that we should call the cops while the cop stands right there...
7:30 am - the police keeps knocking on her door and by this time we all start to wonder if something has happened to her, or if she is away.. so now we need to get in to her apartment. The police calls a locksmith..
7:45 am - the locksmith comes and before they open up and go in they bang on her door a few more times... no response. They walk in and guess who walks out of her bedroom wearing only a sheet?! Yup, our neighbor!

The cops tells her why they are there and all she says is "why didn't they tell me"? There could be no response to that, we were all amazed that she was still in the apartment sleeping during all that banging on her door... luckily the cop find some words and say "we have been trying for almost 2 hours, mam"...

So... our kitchen now smells like wet drywall with stains all over and hopefully our landlord is going to pick the contractor who thinks we should tear it all down and redo it.. He brought two over and one said "let's just paint over it"... can you say MOLD asswhole?!!
