Day 9 has been wonderful. I started my Alli pills today and so far so good! I haven't had any side effects but then again I have been sticking to healthy eating like my life depended on it (well I guess it actually does doesn't it?). Tonight I went grocery shopping with roommate/friend Tanya and I found these awesome chips that are "popped". Sounded weird but there was only 4 grams of fat in 22 chips so I was willing to try them. They were surprisingly yummy. Glad I'm braching out :)
So not only am I sticking to my eating plan I am still working out hard. Tonight I did 30 mintues of weight lifting (plus added new ab stuff) and walked a MILE AND A HALF instead of my normal mile. I am pretty sore from the weights but I am trying to work through it and just be plan AWESOME. Lol I mean I already am awesome but why not be in shape too? haha. I am trying to slowly bump it up without over doing it, adding time here and more weight there. I have never been so happy to take a shower as I was tonight. I really worked up a sweat! Yay! Going to do some yoga before I head to bed.
Love,
Your very own vanishing Sarah :)

Days 6 and 7. Funny girl
Hey, welcome back! Today marks the end of my very first week of my life transformation. Lets do a small recap shall we?
I admitted to the world how much I weigh (OMG minor freak out), found my work out rhythm (unless there are hot shirtless guys lifting weights then I have to fight to not fall off the treadmill trying to watch them hehe). I found a yummy healthy snack option. My stomach was being really mean around day 3 and was trying to DEMAND Wendy's. However this gorgeous blonde did not give in! I worked out through sore butt cheeks and even managed to do it alone :). I skyped with my sister Cat and my niece Ariana. Ariana promptly called me "nakee" because I had on a white shirt (haha maybe I should be tanning too?). My Mazda and I went on a trip to Savannah to attend a Bridal Shower for my friend Stacie (here comes the bride). Which was tons of fun. I did drink punch there but other than that I stuck to my "just water plan".
So now I am back "home" in my little Atl apartment getting ready to head to bed. After all did you just read about my week? Hello I deserve an early bed time tonight! I am very proud of myself for working so hard and sticking with the goals and plans I have made for myself. I would like to give a big shout out to Sarah, Stacie and Nancy for the awesome weekend and all of the support while I was away from my own place. You ladies rock!
Oh oh, one more thing! I will be starting Alli on Tuesday, I ate a little more fat this weekend than I am comfortable with for starting the pills so I will give myself an extra day to get everything straightened out on the inside lol.
Lots of love

Day 4. I worked out alone!
Hey guys, so today is day four of my life transformation. I must say things are getting a little easier. Its hard to believe its only been four days but here I sit. I am really proud of how well I am doing. These changes have been pretty difficult at times. Fast food was one of my best friends!
I went to the gym alone today (Tanya was spending the day with her boyfriend <3). I made it a short trip, there were a lot of people and I kinda felt awkward. So I walked my mile and got out of there lol. But Atleast I did it so I have a smile on my face and I feel good knowing I can get on here and tell you guys that I did. Plus not only did I work out, I stuck to my healthy eating too! Go me *High five*
I was going to start my Alli pills tomorrow but I am heading to Savannah for the weekend for my friend Stacie's bridal shower (yay!). So I am a little nervous to take them on a trip like that because there can be side effects and I may have to eat on the road. So to be safe I will start them on Monday. But its ok its worth it to get to see Stacie and Sarah and lots of other people I love.
Im excited to get closer to going to Florida in May. Its so cold here! Its 40 degrees and so windy my hood wouldnt stay on. Everyday and every turkey sandwich is one step and one pound closer to my goal and South Florida. Im ready :)

Day 2. Is it over yet??
So I hadnt planned on blogging everyday. That just seemed like it would get boring for my readers really fast. But I have decided to blog everyday for the first week.
Today is my first day "eating healthy". I had a Special K bar for breakfast and a turkey sandwich for lunch. So far I feel ok. Kinda hungry but it is supper time :). I have found something awesome I want to share with you all! Even if you dont really want to eat "healthy" but you would like a good snack, try The Laughing Cow cheese wedges in Queso Fresco and Chipotle. It is only 35 calories per wedge and 1.5 grams of fat! And oh my gosh are they good! I have tried some of the other flavors but this is my personal favorite.
Went to the gym again today, just got back in fact. I did the elptical for 3 minutes and walked a mile on the treadmill. I actually ran the last 1/10 :) Did a few weights again too. Big shout out to my roommate and friend Tanya for going with me and helping me see my potential! Off to make supper :) Fried popcorn shrimp and mashed potatos! I know it sounds bad, but it is suprisingly low in fat!
Revision: Just did 30 minutes of weight loss yoga also!
