Truthful Tuesday

I have been really down on myself lately - not sure why.

It could be because I'm sick and I gained weight.

I've been detoxing for 2 days though and I'm losing most of what I gained.

Lets hope for the best!

Moody Monday

(This week I am not writing Mmmmmm Monday because I have to bitch) (Wednesday I will not whine, it will be Workout Wednesday instead)

So I left Thursday evening to go visit my bestie in Boston. When I left, I weighed 255.8. I was ecstatic and I knew I didn't want to ruin my progress on this trip. I worked out one day, and Kevin and I were pretty active the whole time. I drank during the trip, but never to the point of drunk. I had one bad dinner and a piece of birthday cake. The rest of the trip I was fine. I expected to maintain or gain at the most 2 pounds.

Well this morning I weighed in and it was 262. I gained 7 pounds in 3 days. I have never even gained that much, even when I have spent a weekend binging! How is this possible?!

Seeing that number on the scale made me so discouraged. I know this will be a life long battle, but it is so upsetting to know that I basically have to hide in my house until the weight is gone.

I am going to only eat fruits and veggies for the next 3 days to detox my body. Hopefully this is just a weird day, and I can get the weight off fast!

Shrinking Sunday

So I was not able to weigh in today since I am in Boston. I was staying in a house of twinks, so they have no need for a scale since they know they will never weigh more than 100 pounds. The weigh in will have to wait till next week. As of Thursday morning, I was 255.8 and it was awesome! So as of Thursday I was down 2.3 pounds! I don't think my body likes the 250s - I'm ok with that! I'm hoping that next week is another wonderful week!

I also have to say something weird - this is the first time I have spent a weekend out of town and I don't feel like I completely ruined my weight loss. I even worked out one of the days. I have never done with that before!

Here's to change!

Sweet Sweet Saturday

Welp - nothing sweeter than this Saturday! Kev and I were lazy in the morning then walked around Boston harbor for a little bit. It was the windiest but super pretty! We also went to panera and played words with friends....we are the coolest! Kev and I can pretty much have a great time in all situations! We then hung out at his house with Jon (his wonderful boyfriend that I love love love). Kev's bday party was later in the night at a divey karaoke bar. It was cheap and reminded me of a Pittsburgh bar! We had a great time. I love Kevin's friends. Everyone is sooooo fun and my face hurt from laughing! The party was a success and I've decided I never want to leave! I love myself some Boston - almost as much as my Pittsburgh!

I didnt get the memo that we were taking a serious picture....fail!

Fashion Friday

HAPPY BDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND KEVIN! I am currently in Boston visiting my bestie - Mr. Kevin Long. I flew in Thursday and surprised him. Since it is his bday, I decided to let him guest blog. Being gay, Kev has a good eye for fashion and he loves himself some jeans. So since every week I blab about women's fashion, I decided to let Kevin talk a little bit for the male readers out there.

Well, gentlemen readers, we need to talk about Jeans. I love a good pair of jeans. I would rather lounge in jeans than in sweatpants (I know, I know...how queeny must I be?) I will stray away from talking skinny gay jeans. Lets just talk JEANS THAT FIT! Seeing the ginormous jeans that high school boys wear makes me sad, but I can understand why they do it. Now, grown men on the other hand...there is no excuse for jeans that don't fit you. Sorry...there isn't one.

Here is an example of very attractive guys with jeans that don't fit...



Your jeans don't have to be tight and uncomfortable to fit and look good! Here are some things to keep in mind when you go to buy jeans:

1- Know your waste size...and buy that size
2- no pleats or cargo pockets or loopy things
3- no whiskering or much distressing if you're out of college (holes, too)
4- dark jeans can be dressed-up or down. They will go a long way
5- SLIM STRAIGHT LEG...not Baggy...or Loose...or Flared. Slim isn't skinny, don't worry!
6- they should rest on your heel when you have on shoes

Here's an example of a simple pair of jeans that any straight man could pull off...


Come on men, lets start to wear some nice-fitting and APPROPRIATE jeans

p.s. just for fun... DAD JEANS...
