BellaLotta - While having fun, they are learning hand-eye coordination, patterning, and refining small motor skills. I saw a very good example just this week about how a body can react under stress.
I consider myself to be a pretty normal person, nothing too special, but also not a wallflower. I will struggle through this fight, but you will never bella lotta me quit. That is my promise to you and, most importantly, to myself. A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. To be completely honest, this article just really spoke to me. I believe there are two types of people in this world, the ones that read the entire magazine, every word, and every single character until there is no more to read, and there are those that bella lotta flip through and look at pretty pictures. I am the latter of the two. So for me to actually stop and read an article in a bridal magazine with no pictures is cray. So you know this article is good. If you like my little review and opinion piece on the article, then I encourage you to read it. I have included a link at the end of this post for your viewing pleasure. The author of the article is Lauren Chan. She is a plus-size model and a fashion editor. Think Ashley Graham, with those drop dead gorgeous and beautiful curves. She discusses her great displeasure with the fashion and bridal industry, who size-shame those that are not rail thin, like most fashion models, and what this does to the psyche of the average consumer, like her. Now that I am a bride myself, this bella lotta hit home in a whole new way. I have recently fallen in love with a new past time, wedding dress shopping. My friend Jessica said to me once that wedding dresses were made for our body type. Jessica was right in many ways, I do feel good in a lot of wedding dresses. Here is my complaint, and Lauren hits this in her article too, there is a huge lack of representation for any woman above sample size. First, you have the models in most bridal magazines that look to be the size bella lotta the bella lotta girls or junior bridesmaids. Then you have the sample size dresses in most wedding shops. It paints the exact scene, me putting my size 8-10 butt into a size 4 wedding dress, literally sweating and wiggling. I held back the tears and instead made a hard left into my normal avoidance of feelings, I made a joke about it. I mean, I have a great imagination, but not that great. Lauren eventually got fed up with her feelings of self loathing and instead decided that enough is enough: You got engaged, learned to love yourself, and will get married at your heaviest. If the best things happened when you were bigger, what would being thin get you. I rejoiced and got excited just typing that out. Every day and bella lotta on Saturdays. Why do I have this unreasonable fear that he will think otherwise. Cut to me in the wedding dress with an extra fabric added to my butt. When Kevin and I met I was bella lotta at my skinniest. I was just out of another relationship and was back on the market after almost 3 years of being put on a shelf. So once I was out of that relationship, I started to bella lotta care of myself. Then I met Kevin and I put on my happy weight. You know that weight… the weight that is one bottle of wine each a night, cooking dinner to impress him with my skills which mostly consisted around pasta this and pasta thatgoing out all the time, eating out all the time, and doing whatever people do when they fall in love. Then I woke up bella lotta August 2018 and you, my faithful follower, know the rest. I bella lotta also more in tune with bella lotta body then ever before, and I am making me the priority in my personal life. So which one is really the better Laura. We all have someone in our life that loves us. Remember that this person loves you for who you are right now. There is nothing you need to do to yourself to change what others see or think about you in order for this person to continue to love you. The main reason being stress, and not just emotional stress, but also physical stress and environmental stress. All 3 of these together, I have come to learn, are a dealbreaker in weight loss. With all of that in mind, I wanted to give you some insight into what my typical week looks like by taking a look at the last week of my life. Cleary she is eating pie and Taco Bell every week while sitting on the couch with her 2 adorable dachshunds and her handsome as hell fiancé. I wish I was, but I am not. This last week has been a pretty typical food and workout week. I worked out a ton despite two days in a row forgetting to bring my shoes or sports bra to the gym and I ate pretty standard. Or is that just an attorney saying. Anyways, I will let you be bella lotta judge. Bowl included salmon, jalapeno, seaweed salad, avocado, cucumber, ponzu sauce, and some fried garlic sprinkles. For lunch I made overnight chicken tortilla soup. It was a rainy day and wanted some comfort food. Got some ground beef and some crunchy shells and made bella lotta in record time. I also made a side of black beans and some fresh guacamole. So every now and then I throw myself a treat- in moderation, of course. I was clearly in a Mexican mood this weekend. I also stole an egg roll from my Dad. Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. They are at almost every store in the Bay Area. I have a golden rule to not weigh myself after a long trip for at least a week. This was my first weigh in for 2019. Well until I find a good protein shake you are stuck with this. The chicken is breaded, but there is not much. This was because of a board meeting that I actually ate out. I also had two pickles. I did not completely indulge. Its dinner with the girls, but we are all aware of each and every one of our own fitness and health goals. She sits on a throne of lies. I did not have a single adult beverage this week. After the holidays, like 90% of the world, I swore off alcohol for a bit, but unlike 75% of that 90% I have actually been able to hold true to it. No alcohol since Tuesday, January 1st, and its kind of fun so I want to see how long I can do this. Prediction: Until tomorrow when I got to try on wedding dresses and they hand me a glass of champagne. Right now I am working this hard to keep status quo while I work through the witch potion my doctor has me on. So I loosened the reigns on bella lotta and cut myself some slack. It can be just about what little changes you have made. Do you take the stairs instead of the elevator. Do you say hello to your mailman daily. What is the little change you can make or have made. Perhaps we should all try to adapt a new healthy habit a month. This month I have started with taking pressure off myself. Here, let me get your jacket. Can I get you something to drink. I am majorly welcoming 2019 into my life. Not only because its the year that I get to marry my favorite person in this entire universe, but I am also welcoming this year because I feel really good about it and myself in general. I took some time the last couple of weeks of 2018 to really look into both the past and my potential future. I wanted to better understand where I had been in order for me to move forward. I am very proud of myself for finally taking the first step in making myself healthy and talking to a doctor about my fight with weight loss. As we all know, the first step in making a change is admitting you have a problem. I also feel my timing was perfect, to take the last half of 2018 to better understand my fight so that I could jump into 2019 kicking and screaming. Right before the holiday I had another appointment with my doctor. It was a catch up to see how things were going before we got into the thick of holiday nonsense. I took this as a sign. It was a sign to take a step back, stop putting so much pressure on myself and let the process work. I guess we are all just one stomach flu away from our ideal weight, right. After my meeting with my doctor and my time off I came up with one big resolution. In 2019 I am going to take the pressure off of myself. I have the fundamentals to win this fight, but first I need to be able to get my inners to match my goals. Over the last 2years I have been stressed out in a huge way. My job became a lot more stressful with many of our projects shifted and began to not go the way we had expected them too and in the timeframe set out. That was the beginning of the end. I started to take things professionally very personally. I was also stressed about my personal relationship. I am someone that needs forward momentum to know that they are doing a great job. There was no forward momentum in both my professional and personal life, and I felt stuck. So the stress built up, not knowing which way I needed to go to make myself feel better. This all resulted in me feeling pretty crappy about myself. Talk about a self-esteem bomb. Then September 27th, 2018 I got the relationship promotion that I always wanted with Kevin. He proposed, and something about our relationship changed. bella lotta Think Chandler and Monica from Friends. Man, did it chap my hide. Then after we got engaged I got to see what was really going on behind that scenes. That he had made a resolution last year that bella lotta would propose. Now, I see how truly in love and excited he is about our future. This lifted a bella lotta weight of sadness and anxiety about our relationship off of my shoulders. So this is where taking the pressure off of myself is going to take a front seat in this bus called 2019. I am going to have fun with the process of planning a wedding. I am going to try and not sweat the small stuff. I am going to learn better ways to handle the stresses of my professional life. bella lotta I am going to take things one bella lotta at a time. I am going to take a leading role in my professional life and not let others walk all over me because I am a female in a male driven world. I am going to believe in myself and remember my motto- A smart person surrounds herself with even smarter people. I know what my abilities are and I know my limitations. Knowing that, I will ask for help. Especially if you are a woman. That only makes this fight worse. Being able to recognize our limitations means we are smart enough to ask for help and strong enough to admit our limitations. So here it is, what are your limitations and how do you overcome them. With this being my last, I wanted to look back on the fight thus far. Even though its only been a couple months I do think that we have a come long way together. I guess a good place to start while I look back at 2018 is that Mia Bella Lotta was created this year. I made lemonade out of lemons. I stood on that scale this past August and my stomach did back flips and sank to the ground. I bella lotta hit rock bottom. Besides cry, and cry a lot, I had the sensation that all I wanted to do was run up to the roof of my building and scream for the world to hear. You see a great example every day in politics. Its the two sides, the far right and the far left, that are constantly bella lotta the media, fighting to control politics, but you have those of us in the middle, the moderates, just running around in circles trying to be heard. I feel the same is found in the weight loss and health community. Then, on the other hand, you have those that strongly put themselves out there with a long journey ahead of them. I respect both sides because they are doing something to better themselves and not being lazy about their health and wellness. I am not obese, but I am still not happy with where I am. I am not lazy, but I am also not a crazy, health fanatic. I am just your average, everyday girl that has some issues she needs to bella lotta out…. As of my last Monthly Check-In I was surrounded by the number 5. I have to focus on the positive. I have a couple factors working against me right now, as I discussed last week with stress being the most prevalent, but I have still been able to literally inch away less of me. I always wondered why it was so hard for me to lose weight, no matter what I tried. This year I took the necessary steps forward to figure out what might be going on inside me. Sometimes we have to look under the hood to see if all the engine parts are running smoothly. Was there a clear and fast solution. This I will discuss in a later post about my 2019 Personal Resolutions. I have the rest of my life to figure this out, with no deadlines needed, so I might as well learn everything I possibly can, right. I am a true novice when it comes to technology, websites, and such. Ask my old business partner. He says that when I am in a room with an electronic, the electronic breaks. I have bella lotta idea what any of this means, but we will see what happens in 2019. If I make Mia Bella Lotta a priority, then I am also making my health and wellness fight a priority. See how that works out. So I will post more. I will let you all in more on my bella lotta life bella lotta struggles in this fight. Its not enough to just give you a weekly glimpse with the written word, but I want to visually show you the punches and falls I make and take. The water is warm ish. In conclusion of 2018… This year I talked about my fight, and you joined me. We talked about my feeling of solitude, and you lifted me up and joined my Girl Gang. bella lotta We talked about the importance of not playing the game of bella lotta media and let your friends in on your everyday life, and you did. We discussed travel and its pitfalls, and I made some baby steps to improve that. We discussed taking some responsibilities off our dance card and you should see my open January. I have not thrown away that little black dress, but I did burn those fat sweats… so, baby steps. I fell down and got back up. I hugged my friends and did an inventory of who is supporting me. But most importantly I felt love. I, for one, am darn proud of you. So have fun with your family and friends, and make smart choices this holiday season. bella lotta Tell your friends how much they mean to you. Tell the person you love that you love them everyday… then sit back and cheers. Thats how confused I am. Its funny because that is also exactly how I felt right after we got engaged. I bella lotta myself a pretty smart person. Yet here I am just not getting it. Yes, my thyroid test did come back a little erotic when looked at over the last 3 years, but that is something that we are going to continue to monitor over the bella lotta couple months. So for our sakes, lets just put a pin in it for now. They were off the charts. No, I am not using that as a turn of phrase, but 0 literally there was a chart and I was not on it for 1 -2 of my 4 check ins throughout one day. I had separated emotional reactions and body reactions. Let me explain this a little further. If I was sad it was because of an emotion. If my stomach hurt after eating it was because I overate. Its like a light bulb went off. Bella lotta am still not sure what I need to do with the light at the moment, but I am trying to figure that out. I saw a very good example just this week about how a body can react under stress. When I started, I was doing this because it gives you a good read on how the foods you ate yesterday reacted with your body. I clock in at 157. I am on track for my weekly weigh in tomorrow. Thursday goes like this: Weekly status meeting at work that I run. They can be stressful especially when you work with your family. I tie up some loose ends and write some nasty emails that really get my blood boiling, but its all apart of the job, right. Then I ran around the City trying to get some last minute errands done to get the house ready for the Dogsitter. Get home, take care of the dogs, make dinner, eat dinner, take shower, clean up house, sit down and read a little, then go to bed. Yes, I ate dinner a little bit later than I like tobut I needed some fuel after my workout. I also drank a hell of a lot of water yesterday, around 120oz. Step on the scale excited to see some movement. I am sure you all know where I am going with this… 158. As I reflect on my day what was so different. Well, its the meetings, the rushing to get things wrapped up for the week and ready for next week, the constant list of things that need to be done before we leave and never once did I sit down and take a deep breath. I used to joke that I lost more weight when I was eating Taco Bell every weekend and going out drinking with my friends. That was during a time when I had a lot less stresses in my life. Also, when I was studying for the California State Bar I really thought it would be a good 12 week period of weight loss since I was working out about 5-6 days a week and not drinking. At the time I blamed emotional eating, but I guess now we know the culprit. I am not going into too much detail behind the science of how stress and weight loss interact because I still have a lot of information to manage through and a lot of conversations to be had. I more wanted to introduce the concept to you guys as I think this may become a major theme in upcoming posts. My doctor did caution me that that I should not make any major lifestyle changes when it comes to my diet and exercise at this time. Especially seeing as the holidays are coming up and any drastic change may just cause more stress. Maybe that is why my doctor told me to sit back for a little and just take a daily regimen of holistic, witchcraft vitamins through the holidays while also trying to find daily tweaks to bella lotta routine to calm the fuck down. Good luck telling that to a woman with a self proclaimed Bella lotta in planning and filling up the social calendar. Now that I have seen this happen in real time with the. So far, at the request of my doctor, I have hired a wedding planner, at least an hour before I go to bed at night I take away all technology and screens so that my body can start to make its way into sleep mode, and I am currently trying to get myself to take 5 minutes before I start my work day to meditate. This one has been quite difficult because I am someone who just wants to get started on things once she walks through the office doors. Also, its really funny to explain to your old school, Italian uncles that you need 5 minutes to meditate then she will get on that phone call. This is just something that needs to be done, and maybe its not meditating but something else that I can find to do daily that will help me to relax a little more. I always said I would do anything to get some weight loss going. So if I was going to spend a butt ton of money on medical intervention why not actually do something free, daily that helps. I get it, we are the generation of instant gratification, but this is a little ridiculous. So lets all slow down and find what brings us a little inner peace so that maybe we can just make it on to the chart next time. This seasons always makes me feel all toasty inside. This hope brings be great joy. Maybe its the California girl in me, but there is something about that chill in the air, being bundled up, the twinkling lights, the colors of Copenhagen, and the endless supplies of glogg that just speaks to me. What is glogg you may be asking. Glogg is the warm, long island iced tea of Scandinavia. It will put you on your ass faster than you can say your name. One or two of these and you are in full hygge-mood. The reason I bring up this hygge feeling is because of what is represents- the feeling of wellness and contentment. Is it only me or do we all feel that as soon as December 1st comes around we get a false sense of security and contentment bella lotta where we are in our weight loss fight. We have to break this self sabotaging habit of ours. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So Spring comes around and we see that Summer is right around the corner, meaning time to step up the diet and exercise. Then December 1st screams at us and we say fuck it. Sorry for the sailor talk, but we are all adults here. I have to give myself a little props this week. I made it through the Turkey Day Food Extravaganza only gaining about. Instead that pasta was replaced with my dog, Grace. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is going to be tough. What is a girl who literally loves every single one of those things to do. Time to make a plan to plan. Here is my November 30th, plan of attack for the month of December. I am also going to try and limit my social events, but on the days when the unavoidable family activities occur, I will work that much harder with my workouts and my nutrition. Doing a little self exploration I looked back at my weight tracking from the last couple of bella lotta to see how Bella lotta have fared in this Christmas Story. In 2016, I must have been some medical phenomenon because I actually lost 1. That was the Laura of Christmas Past and a lot has changed. Spoiler alert, for a future post I am working on, but test results have come back and, to make a long story short, my body hates me. Since October of 2017 I have overwhelmed myself both socially and professionally so much that my body, physically, is maxed out. It threw in the towel. Until I can figure out how to handle stress better I bella lotta be on an uphill battle trying to lose weight. Today is the last day of November. Officially tomorrow you can cry glitter tears of happiness and feel all the hygge feels, but first bella lotta sure you make a commitment to yourself this Christmas season. So what is your motivation going to be. Thats why if you attack this season with a plan and a commitment, you are more than likely to come out better than you usually do. I am not a monster. Without further adieu, the person that I am most thankful for is the love of my life, my lobster, my partner, my person, and my roommate- Kevin. Then I met Kevin and figured out what that meant. When I first started this blog, I made the decision to not really talk about Kevin simply because he is a very private person. This is one of my favorite parts about him. Clearly, I hold the position of the loud person in our relationship and with great pride. When I have a crappy day caused by a bad weigh in, he reminds me I am beautiful and that he thinks I am perfect. He understands when I get home late because my usual schedule is messed up and I just have to bella lotta that daily workout in, he just picks up where I slack and feeds and walks the girls our dogs. Kevin and I met bella lotta in 2008 back when we were both very different people. It was finally the right time for the both of us. We had both been in relationships in between our 2008 and 2014 meetings, but, at least I can speak from my experience, no relationship before Kevin supported me the way Kevin does. He will happily click away. Kevin and I have very different road maps that make up our bodies. I come from a large, loud family where everything revolves around food and big, big meals. My Mom is a fantastic cook. She even used to have her own catering business with her best friend, Jan. The two of them could out cook any James Beard awarded chef. Have you tried bella lotta bacon wrapped shrimp. I know the recipe and its for sale… kidding. I will die with it as promised. The picture I am trying to paint in your mind is a large table full of family, but completely outweighed by the amount of food that could collapse the table from the weight. Besides our family food priorities, bella lotta of our genetic make ups are completely different. Kevin is Eastern European and Norwegian. Awhile back, before I started this whole crazy blog, I had a moment where I felt down not only about where I was in life I am someone who needs forward momentum to feel like I have accomplished something- hence my weekly weigh insbut also about myself wholly. Kevin and I had a long talk about how I was feeling. When we first started dating we went through a bottle of wine, each, every night. This was something foreign to him. After that talk, he seemed to understand what I was going through, internally. Six months later, the lightbulb really went off when he found me in bed ugly, Kim Kardashian crying. Since then, he has been nothing but a fantastic partner in my corner of this fight. So I need to thank you, Kevin, for everything. Thank you for helping me, supporting me, guiding me, picking me up, letting me cry, and reminding me not to over order at restaurants or to order dessert. And in exactly 365 days I will become his wife and I am so dang excited I can hardly control myself- especially bella lotta cake.
