Game On Challenge

I have recently joined 59 other people to do a 6 week health challenge. We started this on Jan 6th, this last Monday. So I am on day 3 today. We have certain things we must do everyday that allot us points. Here is a break down

• We have to stick to a meal plan of our choice (I chose a no sugar/no white flour plan)
• We must drink 3 Liters of water a day (no soda.. I usually have a coke almost everyday)
• We must workout for at least 20 minutes a day x 6 each week
• We must accomplish a new healthy habit each day (mine is to floss/brush 2x a day)
• We must meet our goal on breaking a bad habit each day (only playing games on the computer no more than 1 hour a day)
• We must get 7+ hours of sleep each night
• We must report or contact other players each day

So far I have had a perfect score each day.
I joined this challenge to try to get healthier, I am hoping to have a baby one of these days and would like to be healthier when it happens. I have always struggled with my weight and am tired of putting of helping myself. I miss out on too many things because of being overweight or get embarrassed in certain situations (good example: when trying to ride the bat at the Lagoon, I had to squeeze into the seat, barely making it)

So I am motivated and on my way to a healthier me.

I am a Fat, Phat, Phat Fat kind of Girl!!!!

As you have guessed by my title I am fat. and today I have had it up to here with it. If any of you are overweight you know how hard it can be to clothes shop. I needed a dress for church that was not only modest and stylish but made me comfortable and happy to wear it.

After going to a handful of fat women's store (that's what I call them) aka. lane bryant, torrid, etc. I went home empty handed. not only did they have a small selection of dresses (or even a nice skirt) but they were all immodest, my meaning of modest is a dress that has sleeves, does not have a plunging neckline and is at least down to my knees if not longer. All the dress I found were sleeveless, strappy, holter toppish and were way to short. come on girls if you are overweight why would you want to show all that skin.
So i went home a bit grumpy thinking ok I guess my only option is to sew a dress myself. Pattern and material shopping is added to my to do list now.

This little quote fits my mood today perfectly

Give me chocolate and a nice dress PLEASSSSE!

Happy Shopping!!

Ok I am back from my Joann's shopping trip. I was able to get 5 simplicity patterns for $5.00. Great deal considering these are $15.00-$18.00 each normally.

I decided to go with Simplicity Pattern # 2917

Here is the material I will be using. My husband helped me pick this out. 

What a great hubby. Love him.
