So today has to be one of my favorite days of the year!! it is Megan's birthday so this means for the next 9 days she is older then me, silly I know but I love it! So of course it is only natural that this morning that I have to wish her a Happy Birthday and call her an "Old Bag", this will be paid back trust me there is no hard feelings and not the worst thing I have called her on her birthday. Has to be something new every year to keep it fresh.
I guess when you get older and have been friends as long as we have you just expect the person that knows you best in life to give you shit. So here's to Megan (aka Stella, this is her alias for when we become outlaws at the age of 85). Put the Rockin' Red lipstick on, smoke a virgin slim (thank you iPhone auto correct) and make that hair extra big today!
I couldn't do this life with out you! Hope you have a great day and that all of your wishes come true.
All My Love,
Bevy

Stubborn?
If you look up Stubborn in the dictionary there is a good chance you would see a picture of Megan and myself. Yes, we are hard headed but you know what I am blogging and it is because of her and I am doing this to light a fire under her ass as well.
I have been on hiatus from this blogging thing with nothing positive to say, well guess what it needs to be done positive or not right?
So I am still working on this chubby butt situation and to my surprise I am comfortably back into a 10. I am able to breath, buttons have not popped off and this should be good news... Well it's not, I have a pair of size 8 jeans in my closet laughing at me right now and they are really starting to piss me off! I need to exercise but really don't have the time and I really hate to exercise. So I have decided that I use to walk up and down 5 flights of stairs two to three times a day to go to and from work. So now I am going to do this at home, why can't I take the 15 minutes to my self and run up and down my stairs? I can it is just me being lazy and getting my ass up off the couch.
So tonight I am off to my stairs to see if I can get those size 8's to stop laughing at me.

Lifetime!
I am writing this today in honor of my best friend Megan. Because I want her to know she has a "LIFETIME" with her all the time. Like they say "Friends are like angels, you know their, there even though you can't see them".
Megan is the sister I was never biologically blessed with. Fortunate for me we were thrown together by god and we were made sister's as he knew we needed each other. I love her as much and more then if we were blood. I just want her to remember her self worth and how sweet she is. She has been in as what she calls it a "Funk" and I want to do anything I can to try and lift her out of it. As this is what we both do for each other, when one is dealt lemons the other is there with the Vodka saying lets make this a party!
To my dearest Megan, you don't need the Reasons or Seasons because you have plenty of Lifetimes that will get you through the Reasons and Seasons you meet along the way. I know you are in the midst of your pity party, but let's put our big girl panties on and GO!
So now I will leave you with this last little note.
B-I-N-G-O !

Lost....
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do and how hard you try it is never good enough? That is where I am at with my job right now. I give, give, give and just get shit on repeatedly. I work with a bunch of 60 + year old women that really need to retire. They are too busy living 25 years ago in the finance world to move ahead. The bad word of the day "change", I am sorry but I am a firm believer that CHANGE is always good and if it going to make my life better WOOHOO! Not these old bitches, fight it tooth and nail and the ball less men that makes up the management team let them push and continue to do it. Really, this is my career right now...
Still losing, still trying to exercise, still keeping my food journal. So today I will just keep on, keepin' on.

Spanx you very much!
I swear this morning when I was putting on my underwear I heard them say: How much does she really think we can stretch? Let alone hold this load up! Another morning, another day of holding up clothes and saying will it fit or am I going to end up crying over it. Thank god it is warm out and I can get another day out of my big girl capri's.
This weekend was a bust for the Chubby Buddy adventure for Healthy Living... I may or may not have eaten a whole small white pizza with out even batting an eye. I said I would not deprive myself of anything but the Friday night binge had me regretting it all weekend. I am off to a good start this morning, back on track with my food journal. Rain please hold off so I can get a nice bike ride in after work with my little man.
On a lighter note my 7 year old and I are out shopping and he is not paying very close attention and I seem to be saying Jayden stay with Mama, Jayden please stay here with me. Finally anxiety at it's peak I say Jayden can you please just stay here with Mama you are giving me chest pains! With no hesitation and with out a blink of his little eye. He says well you know what? You are giving me heart pains! I almost died! After holding in my laughter and looking at his little smirk an older lady that got the free show, she looked at us smiled and said life is to short to Hurry all the time. After that we slowed down and the pains were gone and both left with a little giggle and smiles on our faces.

Fat Feet...
Another day another pair of cute shoes thrown to the back of my closet into the graveyard. Black, suede pumps that I can't even squeeze my feet into... Depressed is the feeling. On to the pants. It is chilly out and I have to wear pants, really this should be fun. One leg at a time I put them on wondering if I should open a window in case I break out in a hot flash trying to get these damn things on. Up over the chubby buns with no wiggling and I don't have to lay on the bed to button them! SUCCESS! Yes it is only a little feat but I will take it. This really makes me happy but what is a nice pair of dress slacks with no cute pumps to wear. I vowed not to buy any clothes in a bigger size do I do the same with my shoes? But a girl at least needs cute shoes to make her feel better.
In true best friend fashion Megan has been sending me links all day of the cutest damn shoes. It wouldn't be bad but they are cute and cheap. Now the madness begins, do I really need them? NO! Do I want them? YES! I always tell my son there is a difference between wanting and needing... Now I am trying to tell myself the same thing.
Off for a little snack, maybe this will take my mind of the shoes. If you haven't tried them yet the Weight Watchers Ginger Snaps are WONDERFUL!

Is this as good as it gets?
A week into the Chubby Buddies and I feel myself slowly falling into a little funk... I am eating well, parking further away, riding my bike and it just doesn't seem to be enough right now. I am not the most patient person in the world and I like results immediately! Is this holding me back from my full potential? I mean my pants are a little looser and that usually make me happy.
W. (my behaviorist) is trying his hardest to make me mentally sound and healthy and it is my responsibility to get my body healthy. Today though I am asking myself really "Is this as good as it gets?". I am at odds with my job and whether I should move my cheese or ride out the storm in hopes that blue skies are ahead? Is there ever a time when you personal life and career could sync up to be good at the same time. Today my answer to how's it going? Same shit different pile, that's all I got.
As I told my good friend who is trying to get her "sweetness" back is your To SWEET to be SOUR. Guess I should take my own advice.
Tomorrow is another day and maybe this rain has washed me out. So if this as good as it gets, I guess I will have to work with it.

Learn, Grow, Change
So I have stopped counting the days and I am on a roll, I have taken a break writing as I had a long weekend and the bad luck that is known as my life took over. The good news is, I am down a couple pounds and feeling good! Since I work in the financial world, I got Columbus day off and now today as I sit here I realized I should have taken today off to rest from my day off....
I did get some exercise in and it was great after my son tells me yesterday "This is the best day of my life" My 7 year old had school yesterday so when we went out for our normal drive to school I headed to our barn and he said Mama what are you doing? I said come on we are riding bikes to school. I should have taken a picture because his face was priceless and that is when I got "I love you so much Mama, this is the BEST day of my LIFE". So glad that this little gesture had that effect on him and I felt great too, nice crisp fall morning. I dropped him off and I took the long way back. All day I had his words ringing in my ears! When I ride down and pick him up from school we take the long way home and he asks if we can ride to the library on Tuesday night? Of course we can and it is just the motivation I need to get my chubby buns in gear!
I am seeing a Behaviorist to try to "unchain" my brain of the way I think and make myself a better person. Yesterday when I go see him he gives me a piece of paper that says STOP! I read this and to my amazement it makes since. Stop, breathe, smell, bring yourself back to the current moment. Today I have it posted on my desk to remind myself that the only thing that matter is the moment we are in now. Step one to a healthier living is underway and there is no turning back now.
As I told Megan this morning REMEMBER the day's blessings FORGET the day's troubles!

Life is not a RACE
Day three and I am in the groove now of watching what I eat and trying this whole new Healthy Lifestyle out. Now I am trying to decide how to incorporate some exercise into my chaotic life (besides the occasional bum shake). I guess it is time to dust the seat off the old cruising bike and start peddling, no excuses! This weekend will be full of fun fall activity so hopefully that will burn some extra calories!
Just a shout out to my brother Good Luck this weekend and give them hell! I love you more then life and let's get that 9ny into victory lane! To Jack take care of that #69, the Maverick will be riding with you and I am sure he will guide you to your first win of the season. My brother Hunter and his good friend Jack are starting to wrap up their racing season this weekend at Airborne. For those of you don't know, I am a track brat. I was born and raised at my family’s race tracks. As was my 17 year old brother, he has been racing since he was 7 years old (started out on asphalt with go-kart, then dirt with go-kart and travelled up and down the east coast racing his kart). Now at 17 he pilots a Dirt/Asphalt Modified and an ACT Late Model. He has mad skill and I am as proud of him as a big sister could be (As I always tell him I am proud of you know matter what you do). He has won numerous championships in everything he has driven. This year has been tough as we lost the Patriarch of our family and the founder of our racing legacy. So my brother has been running his modified in honor of our uncle and in true sportsmanship fashion he is sporting my uncle’s old number from when he raced. He was the pioneer of racing on the east coast and until the day he passed was 100% involved and committed to racing and family. So this weekend Jack (15yrs old) who usually drives a dirt modified #08 at Malta will be driving my brother's #69 modified for his second start on asphalt. Hunter will be driving his 9ny ACT asphalt late model. So remember we are not here for a long time but here for a good time, have fun and be safe. Love and Luck!
So now on a more serious note today I get to wear jeans to work as it is Lee National Denim Day (denimday.com). I just want to say to those we have lost, survived, still fighting and don't know yet. Early detection could save your life. You are someones HERO you might not even know it, but you are trust me! To those of you that are survivors and to those of you who are still fighting my admiration is endless.
To my friend Megan who I know is always waiting at the Finish Line of every Race I take on in life, I love you!

Baby's Got Back!
So we are now on day 2 of the Chubby Buddies get healthy kick and I am feeling good! Slept good, woke up not wanting to kill anyone so all and all I think we might be off to a good start!
I do now realize how much I depend on Megan for motivation and support. She also realizes how much of a bigger pain in the a$$ I have become needing her.
In true male fashion, last night my 7 year old says to me last night while I am bent over picking up HIS toys. Mama why do you have such chubby buns? Really this out of my sweet boy who I was in labor with for over 35 hours, is now asking me why my bum is chubby. I bite my tongue on what I want to say because he is only 7....I say because boys like girls with chubby buns and do a little bum wiggle. Now he is on the floor laughing at me, but I chalk the little rump shake up to exercise for the day! As I am now cursing Sir Mix A-Lot as I am cleaning the house singing I like big butts and I can not lie!
Final thought:
To my best friend Megan, I love you and thank you for choosing me!

Healthy Living here we come!
So at 9:38 last night in the midst of our evening texts (BFF Megan who lives in VA Beach). We decide we are on a mission to a healthier lifestyle (we don't like the word DIET!). So a little back tracking, yesterday morning I put on my snake skin high heels to see that now my feet are now getting fat as I can't comfortably wear them! So they get thrown back in the closet, you know where the "skinny" jeans are that you can no longer fit your fat butt into. Go to the doctors and get met with the scales that show you, that you now weigh as much as you did when you were 6 months PREGNANT! This can't be right you think, but you remember you favorite sassy shoes from the morning and reality sets in...
So now Megan and I (Chubby Buddies) are on a mission to lose 39 pounds by 1/31/13. If we meet it great if not we will have a lot of fun trying! Because I can tell you that the reason we are Best Friends and have been for so long is because we can scream, cry and belly laugh together and no matter what happens we love and respect each other more and more everyday. To my friend Megan here we go on another adventure with out Big Hair, Lipstick on our teeth and out Virgin Slims (we will fill you all in about this at a later date).
Let the chaos that is our life begin!
