One month in 9.5 lbs down!!!

Ugh

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:27:54 -0800

I’ve been so so busy with my new job so I haven’t had time to make a video, but I will tomorrow & I have a huge announcement to make: my one month results eating Susan’s Healthy Gourmet and working out! So stay tuned!

Like I said, I have started my new job. I had to get measured for a uniform- I was mortified because my hips don’t lie- the measurements were bigger than I wanted, but eventually I’ll be smaller. This job says I’ll be on me feet for at least 5 hours and walking over 2 miles a shift, good lord! Time to invest in some Dr. Schulls (sp)!

Whenever lunch comes around, my coworkers come to see what I’m eating, if I’m feeling generous ill let them try it. Susan’s is so unbelievable with their healthy/flavor balance. I love it, and so do the coworkers!

One good thing about working (like a legit job, no stand up comedy) is that I’m away from my kitchen and temptation to eat crappy food. Amen!

Anyways- one month results this week- if I can do this YOU can!

Super Bowl weekend and a diet....

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:41:12 -0800

Trying to stick with a diet over Super Bowl Sunday is one of life’s harder things (for me at least). I admit, I cheated. I’m a cheater. The ranch and onion dip was too tempting, with potato chips. Arrhgghhh! I’m a cheaterrrrr!!!

To be honest, today (monday) I’m feeling absolutely sloth like and slightly sick to my stomach for eating unhealthy, first time in over a month. Then I started thinking: how I feel today is how usually felt all the time before my diet! Eating unhealthy was a regular, daily thing for me. So now my body is like, WTF are you doing eating chips and dip and cookies (I didn’t mention the cookies earlier, but yes, I ate cookies too).

I have to admit, Susan’s Healthy Gourmet has not only been helping me eat healthy but feel better, mentally and physically. I do not want to feel this warn down and heavy again, for a long long time.

So I’ve been downing water all day and sticking to my meal plans and ran a mile and a half in a low low time, my body is punishing me.

At least the Super Bowl is once a year.

Hey! .. How in the world were you able to get on drag u? I love that show, and I wanna be on it to!

i have arrived…look at this write up….

lesbiansthatlookliketintin:

AJ Stacy has achieved the highest rating on the Tintin scale yet with a 9. Let’s go over the facts. AJ is a known lesbian, has short hair that is the perfect Tintin blend of blonde, brunette, and auburn, she has a similar build, and she has her hair fashioned into the perfect point. We haven’t seen hair this perfectly close to Tintin since we posted the Miz, and he is neither gay nor a woman, so he naturally doesn’t rate as high as AJ. The only way to improve upon this is to have a dog that looks like snowy and hang out with another lesbian that looks like Haddock. Since we haven’t seen this happen, AJ now is the standard bearer for Lesbians the Look Like Tintin. Congratulations to her! As for the rest of you, the bar has now been raised.

Special thanks to The Beaver Bunch for tipping us off on Twitter.

A Saturday night at home eating grapes & newly discovered pop-chips! Have you ever tried these things?! Susan’s sent me some in my lunch today but I saved them for a snack. They’re like chips that are pressure cooked in an oven until they pop! 100 calories per bag and 3 grams of fat and the same chip taste! Also you get to stick your hand in the chip bag which, in itself, is feeling enough to make me think I’m eating Doritos! I’m late in making a progress video, I’ll try and make one tomorrow. I’ve been busy lately working, working out, being distracted by really lame reality tv shows and sleeping. It’s funny how life takes over sometimes! I did notice today my waist is getting smaller. I have a pair of jeans I’m dead set on fitting in September (my goal month and half marathon month). Anyway, back to my chips and Roseanne reruns. I clearly know how to have a good time!

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:45:00 -0800

I look forward to Monday morning now. Weird, I know. Monday, bright and early is when Susan’s Healthy Gourmet delivers my meals, then they do another delivery Thursday mornings as well. It’s kinda like opening Christmas gifts because the meals are always different and I hope for the elusive tiny desserts in the meals as I put them away in the fridge. So, today marks week two of healthy living and eating…weight loss for last week was 2.5 pounds which totals 6.5 in TWO weeks!!! I never thought cutting out junk food and eating right and working out would show instant results. I also cut my mile run time down to 15 minutes. It’s like a brisk run/walk…I’m getting there. I’ll make it… I’ll post some pictures of my body progress this week. I can feel inches off in my waist for sure. Also, I am starting a new job with the Department of Homeland Security, and that guarantees lots of physical work so hopefully that will help with the loss. In other news…I’m going for the Giants in the Super Bowl. -AJ

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:10:00 -0800

I always try to keep this updated as much as I can but the last few days have been pretty busy. I mean, I haven’t been THAT busy…you know, football playoffs and a travel expo over the weekend I went to. I think i’m going to take a trip to Holland with the lady friend in April and tiptoe thorough the tulips. So not like me, I know. I did get some really great information however, at the expo…oh there are trains that go all over Europe hopefully I can visit other countries as well.

So on to the more interesting and relevant topic, my diet. Tomorrow will be 7 days of eating Susan’s Healthy Gourmet, breakfast, lunch and dinner…oh and one snack usually of fruit or crackers and cheese. Along with working out at least 5 days a week for an hour. I also, as I said before have been pounding down water like a fish. I put on a shirt today that was tight at one time around my upper arms, that NOW feels loose! I know it’s only been a week but I’ve cut my caloric intake in half each day, I’ll weigh myself tomorrow for sure to know.

Eating preset meals I am limited to what I can eat. It seems like Monday-Thursday they have me eating a lot of chicken and fish and salads. I was so so so excited to find an Andes candy in my salad the other day. The fat kid inside me was dying to eat it. I really haven’t eaten anything candy wise, only what they’re sending me. Friday-Sunday the meals were a little more carb packed, turkey lasagna and pot roast…today I got chicken tortilla soup with a chocolate cupcake on the side…hollllllllllllerrrrrrrr!

I’m gonna make a video Monday or Tuesday with my weight loss progress. Feel free to email me with you questions or what I’m eating if you are looking for food suggestions…. askAJanything@gmail.com

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:18:00 -0800

So today was rough as far as wanting something sweet to eat…I never realized how much I thought about food during the day & now that I can’t eat whatever I want, it’s intensified by a thousand!!! I swear I can smell the See’s candy shop 3 miles away, it’s like that. Anyway, I came home tonight and to my surprise dinner had a big, fat, chocolate chip cookie in it! Thank you Susan’s Healthy Gourmet, you saved my day for sure. Also! Dinner was chilaquiles…freakin cheeeelay-keeelaaaayyssss….mexican delishness! I did a 90 minute Bikram yoga class today. It was fun, like torturous fun. I like the instructor, he’s awesome. The room smells like Fritos and broccoli. I’m drinking so much water I feel like a fish. Seriously, I should go to CostCo & invest in a pallet of toilet paper, this water thing is no joke. I’ll weigh myself next Monday, a week after I started this diet to see my progress. This diet craziness has inspired me to write some jokes for some standup I’ll be doing soon (hopefully). Speaking of standup and some what related, have you guys watched The Rosie show?? I’m not quite sold on it. She’s not funny. Her guests tonight are Jackeè Harry and Stxy. Who? Exactly. Unless you were born in 1978 or earlier you probably have no idea who these guests are. Peace out girl scout!

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:23:00 -0800

so today I did my workout with my trainer at “the bluff” as we call it here in Long Beach. Basically it’s just a bunch of stairs that lead down to the beach. When I say stairs it’s about 30 stairs down and 30 up, times 7 equals, well, i’d add it up but my calculator is on my phone which is in the other room…240? yeah 240 stairs and it’s a mile walk to complete all of them. So I did it. Go me. That’s my rad self, all bundled up to work out, yes, Virginia, it get’s semi-cold in California. While I was quasi running up and down stairs today, this random other stair runner guy gave me a high-five. Ok. that’s weird. He was either like “good job hefty girl” or he was just overly happy. Either way, I think it’s just weird to high-five a random stranger. Unless you’re Oprah, you can’t do that.

Anyway… I was pretty much starving by the end of my workout so I was happy to find that for lunch were these rad chicken wraps from Susan’s Healthy Gourmet. I wont lie I really wanted a volcano taco from Taco Bell, but that’s how I ended up on a diet in the first place!

So diet day 2 is in the books. I wont lie I’d love to eat some ice cream right now and maybe a burger, I’d even settle for a veggie burger, but I need to do this.

In other news, I still haven’t heard back from that reality TV show I tried out with my friend Jess last week. Maybe it’s too soon to know? Some of you were asking what the show was called it’s called “Escape Routes” it’s sponsored by Ford. Google it.

I’m going to bed so I can wake up and eat breakfast - It’s like that ok?

ok really

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:11:00 -0800

after realizing novelNoms.com is actually a tumbler page and looks ten thousand times more rad than mine (and the fact i want to be better than NovelNoms (aka Gretchen) at all times) i got kinda sad, like maybe misty eyed even. Does anyone wanna fix mine up? I know i’m asking for something crazy just putting it out there, if not, I hope you enjoy this blue background.

Anyhowwwwwwwwww……Today I did an entire hour on my treadmill and some weights. Nothing too exciting except while working out i was watching/listening to “Waiting for ‘Superman” on Netflix on the iPhone, please watch it. Definitely a documentary worth your time.

So tomorrow starts day one of Susans Healthy Gourmet meals. It’s rad because they deliver them fresh to my door Monday and Thursday. I’ll take some before pictures of myself tomorrow too, but I’m not gonna say how much I weigh until I finally reach my goal, THEN you all can know the secret. ok? ok. However, the before pictures will be super sexy in boxershorts and a t-shirt. Wallpaper picture quality I’m sure. Oh and I’ll take pictures of the food and vlog it, fun times to come if you like food and wanna follow my diet.

I’m gonna go, the new AbFab is on tonight - yes new, if you didn’t know now you do. AbFab is back sweetie darling on the Logo channel!

I’m at the gym when I should be watching the lions vs the saints….I’m only gonna do 30 minutes on this stupid treadmill. It’s Saturday night, I got things to do…knaw’ mean?

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 23:32:06 -0800

I know…pot pie is not the healthiest thing…but….I wanted it…I had no idea Yardhouse single serving pot pie was as big as a small child.

Check this out baby...

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:36:59 -0800

So, today I kinda slacked on the diet/working out…I worked out for 30 minutes slow, snail paced run on my treadmill while I watched Food Network making myself even more hungry than I already was.

So, now I’m laying on my couch eating a snack pack of peanut butter crackers waiting to go eat dinner out with the lady.

But you say “AJ aren’t you on a diet!?” why, yes I am…really starting Monday because…. http://www.susanshealthygourmet.com
Is now my source for food breakfast lunch and dinner…hopefully with eating right combined with my working out, I’ll be seeing some results…hopefully. I’ll be blogging you with pictures and my opinions of their food and weekly weight loss…I know, so not what you’d expect from me, but at least I’ll make it funny….

So, this weekend is playoff football and with that comes food, probably take-out & my couch….. but come Monday….it’s me and Susans Healthy Gourmet for the win! (hopefully)

Oh

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:06:14 -0800

Ps - I promise I’ll try my hardest not to mention reality tv shows or anything like that on here, even I’m sick of them….I mean, unless I win one or something.

Kthanksbye

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:54:34 -0800

I think I might start keeping this as my 2012 weight loss extravaganza blog. So with that said: I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at 8% incline at 3.5mph….and my legs are burning…tomorrow (Friday) im going to the beach to jog the sand, and by jog I mean walk fast maybe a few fast strides, that could look like a jog. Maybe. Wanna join??

A “healthy food company” is sending me a weeks worth of food to review, hopefully it’s delicious or I’ll get cranky being hungry & starving and hate their food and give them a bad review.

Big expectations. Small portions.

A girls gotta eat!
