Tacos

#daytwo

The power of tacos: walked out of work and could smell the chorizo and carne asada tacos cooking from across the plaza at El Farolito. Came home to the smell of beef soft tacos and sopita on the stove. But my will power to keep on trucking along is stronger than those I'm sure super delicious tacos. If you all could here all the rationalizations going on in my head though. hahahaha 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🤪

Day One

#dayone

My life the next 6 months - 1 year or until I hit my goal. I started a medically supervised health plan this morning. Although I've been dropping weight it's not enough, the medication keeps piling on. So this Chubby-Go-Lucky is embarking on a major health quest, halfway through the day and not gonna lie it's hard. But diabetes has taken away too many people I love. And I can't let it take me too. 😭

I'm very lucky to have an amazing doctor and medical team that are very supportive, and the money and insurance to pay for this long long journey. I share this because life has been good to me but we all have our struggles and this is one of a few that I have battled all my life. So wish me luck gente, send me positive vibes and prayers. I'll be chronicling my journey on this blog I started 10 years ago. 💓 I'd be a bad chismosa and writer if I didn't. 😜

Let's see what adventures the next 10 years brings. I know it won't be easy but I have faith in myself and Baby Jesus push through. 😘

Hello, its me (8+ years later)

Ten years from when I first started this chubby-go-lucky blog. The day after my 32 birthday. Now at 42, 1/2 way to the next birthday I have been up and down my journey to a healtheir self. I have literally lost a hundred pounds or more and gained 50 of thoser back and forth. My top weight was at 408 somewhere in my early 20s. The restart of this blog is not a restart of my journey. The ups and downs are part of this long road. I am grateful Blogger still had you hidden away in a crusty email I never check. Blessed to have today and hopefully many more tomorrows.

3 miles / 3 days

356.8

Wow! I was just talking about my little chubby.GO.lucky blog tonight with my Prissy and I came running to look for you. So glad I didn't delete all the posts. I am back on the saddle again. Hitting the trails and streets to walk the walk and get these pounds off me. As well as training for the RnR Las Vegas 1/2 Marathon in 3 bloody weeks, yikes! I lost 4 pounds this week super happy. Going to keep on walking, and keep on keeping on.

Smoothie a go go

Just got back from another night of swimming. It was a good swim. I don't feel as sore as yesterday I'm not sure if I didn't push myself hard enough or if my muscles well wake me up in the morning instead. We shall see.

What I did feel was sick from smelling the greasy chinese food next door to the gym. I was craving it last night but by tonight it just made me sick breathing that in. Enrique and I tried Alton Brown's Smoothie recipe this morning. I'll post it when I get a chance. It was yummy and kept us full. I was really surprised that he is so up to trying new healthy things. But he gulped away the Acai juice, soy, blue berries and other fruit away. So I hope we continue to push each to try new things for our health.

Moo Shu Swimming

I hit the gym today, I was going to hit in the morning but I stayed in bed a little longer and just dragged myself to go after work. It's a cruel world though, as I was swimming my laps I could smell the deliciously savory greasy Chinese food next door. Not even the heavy dose of chlorine could mask the images of friend egg roles and other tantalizing asian bites. No worries, I stayed away and went on a health food shopping spree at Costo instead. :) Got to be prepared, right?

Live Strong

I'm a WW drop out once again. I just didn't want to spend the $39.95 a month when I was missing meetings, and honestly would rather see what I consume and burn by calories not points. I may be back one day but for now, I am test drviing Livestrong.com website. I tried it a couple of times but I am going to to do a 30 day test run to really push myself to monitor my intake and burn of calories. Aside from the weighing in and website, WW was a great way to meet and vent to people dealing with similar issues. But I have that, I'm not a Fat Kid Loner. Luckily (but sadly), I have friends and family that share these same struggles and are also on their way to making changes in their lifestyle. I'll keep you posted.
