Hay Peoples,
So I fell off the wagon. I got hit with alot of bumps. Losing my job, issue in my marriage (nothing new) and just a moment of depression.
Its very hard to continue in everyday life as though nothing is going on. I felt a moment of extreme anxiety as everything fell apart all at once. I have not stayed on track with my eating or exercise. I just could not concentrate on it with the storm I was in. So today I am recommiting to the cause. Weight loss we back in.
At my last weight in about 2 weeks ago I was 200.6. So we'll see where I am Sunday. So from here out I will be doing weigh ins on Sunday. I hope I can inspire people with my realistic journey. This time life ran me over, but the fighter in me got up and dusted myself off. I am finding my footing and trying to get back in.
Have a awesome day,
Yaya

Random Post
Hay Peoples,
Today is a random post about a subject that ran into me today.
I received a Twitter notification about a news headline. The headline was sad and daunting.
The headline was 'Police have identified the remains of 62 year old woman that was killed in portable toilet explosion.'
Now it is sad because this is someone's grandmother, auntie, wife, or mother.
It is daunting because I can't understand what could have possibly occurred inside that port-a-potty to have caused an explosion and fire that killed someone.
So here is where my inner nerd took over. Shit emits methane gas. Methane is one of the ingredients in gasoline if I'm not mistaken. Don't quote me on that. I just believe it to be true in my mind. But anyways, I know for sure that methane is highly flammable. So in other words avoid fire and sparks around it at all cost.
So did she light up before stepping in, was her body temperature high enough to cause a spark from friction. Was there a spark from static electricity. How much shit was in there for the gas to cause a loud and deadly explosion. Did someone drop a match or cigarette on the outside of the potty. Why was the potty not cleaned out to avoid such a tragedy?
Most of all who will be paying the family for the emotional distress for losing Grandma in such a crude way. There was quite a bit of negligence on the part of the builder and the potty company.
My prayers go out to the family and friends the victim.
Life is always hitting me, real soon I'm going to start fighting back.
Until next time...

Weigh In 10/02/2019
Hay guys,
So as I told you yesterday... The Scale is not my friend... Apparently neither is the measuring tape.
So here we go. I weighed myself this morning and did measurements this evening.
Weight: 206.2lbs
Measurements
I spent the day holding my tongue and hoping I did not get pushed over the edge. I can honestly say today I strongly dislike my 50% of my team at work. Today they made me wish I had prescription to blaze up. The good thing is I have a prescription to take drops. I will be putting them to use today. I brain is on fire right. FYI, I suffer from chronic migraines and use Medicinal Marijuana to treat the issue.
To be honest I hate using it. I don't understand the love of it. It makes me feel stupid. As someone with ADHD my life is already hell with trying to focus. Now I taking something that completely makes focus impossible. Yeah that just does not work. I had a moment one time where my 17 year old, Donte, made me laugh just because he was walking by. I just found the sight of him funny. I laugh for hours until I feel asleep. That was the last time I used it until today. FYI, my kids and husband do not approve of my medicine.
So I had a choice to either use the marijuana long term or use one of the various chemical compounds that all have a side effects such as extreme depression and thoughts of suicide. Medication that change your chemical composition so much that you have to be weened off to avoid a depressive state that could lead to suicide. That medicine was not my cup of tea. The most I do is aspirin. Just say no to drugs.
So to give you more about my everyday life. I have 2 sons Donte and Khalil (13). Jackson is my 2 almost 3 year old grey headed Conure (small Parrot). My husband is Paul (35 going on 15). On a day to day basis they all require alot of attention. The most demanding believe or not is the bird and my husband. Some days I am just to tired to comply.
So I am not going to sugar coat anything about my life if you are sensitive this blog is not for you. I am disgusted by my weight pictures but its my current reality. It is motivating me to lose the weight. FYI that's Jackson's cage behind me in the pictures.
Please feel free to comment and share.
I will be weighing in next Wednesday.

Intro
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for reading about me. To get started I am an African-American woman. I am as of today 38 years old with 2 living children and a husband (meaning I have 3 kids.). I am going to be completely transparent about this journey. Today I did not weigh myself. I actually have not been on a scale in weeks. Its not my friend.
This will be mostly about my weight journey. I will post about other things. Trust me, my life can be a little crazy with two (three, my husband) teenagers, a fulltime job, a broken bird (Jackson), and a big family. I will not be giving advice. Mainly because I am not well versed in anything other than parenting.
So down to the nitty gritty. At my last weight in so long ago I was 202.3lbs. I am 5' 6". This is not good for my joints feet or lungs. Since hitting 175lbs, I have been diagnosed with asthma, an issue I never had before.
In all honesty the weight gain came from depression and poverty. Did you know that you can cause an excessive weight gain by not eating. I would eat once a day for years and then suddenly I realized that I'm getting real big and I'm barely eating. There were times I had to feed the boys rather than eat. They were well fed in those times.
So over the last 4 years I have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight. I joined a gym. I changed my eating habits and I got active for a few days. I am so unmotivated to keep going. So today I decided that maybe if I have a few accountability partners maybe this will help me work harder.
So world, come with me on this journey. There will be ups downs and hopefully a lot of laughter as I hope to see my weight shed until I'm comfortable with me. My goal is to be 145ish.
So I started a vitamin regime, vitamin pack I take has been life changing over this last week. I will talk more about that next time.
Later guys,
Yaya
