Losing weight is never easy. We can all agree that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. It's been a tough two months in my journey to hit 180. But I'm happy to say I lost a total of six pounds. I started at 224 and dropped down to 217. Now my goal is to hit 207 pounds.
One of the biggest motivations right now is Ryan's wedding. Being a Brides Maid, I want to look good in my dress and of course be able to walk with out thigh pain. (Happy to say I haven't had thigh pain in two years) My other motivation is being able to fit into clothes and smaller sizes like a large or a medium. Since 2012, I had to shop in the plus size department. XL and 2XL which is something I want to eliminate in my life. If I can fit into a L or a M size clothing. Plus being able to fit into a new swim suit, my life would be complete.
My third motivation is my job. Those of you that don't know about my job, most of the time it's two hours while other times it can be five hours. That's how long I'm on my feet. Being on my feet for that long does hurt my back, but it also gives me the time to stretch out my legs while I'm standing. Which shows how badly I need to get in shape.
One good exercise I've been doing five days a week, is climbing up and down New York City Subway stairs. Defiantly a good for your legs because you are putting pressure on your legs as you walk up and down.
Next time I give you guys an update, I hope to be 207 or even better 200. We will have to wait and see what God has in store for me. If you have any questions about my weight loss journey, please feel free to ask me, I am more than happy to answer your questions.

Past Two Weeks - Mother's Day
It has been a long couple of weeks. But it's been a good couple of weeks. Happy to say I've been keeping myself busy during the week. Everyday, Monday through Friday I listen to music on Spotify while I eat my brunch before I go to work. I found a song that I really LOVE. If you like country, then you will love this song.
Song Title: Meant To Be
Artist: Bebe and Florida Georgia Line
If you've ever been bullied, or been mistreated by your boyfriend or husband, then this song is perfect for you.
Last weekend was May 5th. My brother Ryan and Sister In Law Victoria (8-18-18) came for the weekend. They went to a Yankees Game at Yankees Stadium in the Bronx.
My Mom and I went to a Fund Raiser Dinner. Her Best friend Barbie invited us. Some of Barbie's church was going to go to Ghana and Ireland to missions trip. Barbie went last year and loved it. The dinner was delicious. We had baked seasoned chicken, and potatoes. I must have had fifths, that's how good the chicken was.
That evening, as we watched Family Fued (a game show) my brother treated me to Cold Stone. When I say it was heaven, it was heaven. Chocolate and Vanilla with chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. Out of this world delicious. The last time I had Cold Stone was probably two or three years ago.
That Sunday, May 6th, Ryan, Victoria, Mom and I went to a greek diner in Bayridge for Lunch. The food was okay. But the company was lovely.
This weekend, Saturday to begin with, my mom and I are going to a Bounce U birthday party. Henry and William are celebrating their birthdays. Henry is turning 5 in two weeks and William just turned 3 on April 3rd. Golden Birthday Babe.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day here in America, New Zealand and Australia. A BIG Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in New Zealand, Australia and America. I think we would be lost without our Moms. We will never know why Mother's Day is different in Europe. For some reason they celebrate Mom Day in March.
Happy Mother's Day to my Momma! I know I'd be lost without her. She's the best Mom in the world. Always works her ass off.
Honor your Mom's tomorrow!
