I'm almost back down into the 120's... yay! 2 pounds away. That's my first mini-goal. It has been a struggle for sure, but I'm doing it! :) When I started P90X I was at 123... getting back down to that weight will be my next little goal. Then it's the home stretch to ultimate goal. It's the home stretch that is the hardest part of all- that's where I plateaued last time and then gained. I sooOOOooo want to get there this time. I must!
The past 2 weekends I have had a day that has thrown me off track (my nephew's bday- CAKE, and memorial day- BBQ!) But this weekend is pretty much free and clear, besides seeing Star Trek with one of my friends. I kinda got shanghaied into that. lol But anyway, my nutrition will remain strong this weekend and those 2 lbs shall be shed soon. I may start doing video weigh-ins (like my pal Triple Q on YouTube)... I'm not sure though. It would be a good way to stay accountable since my Weight Watchers weigh ins will be done in a few weeks, but then again I don't know if I want all of YouTube seeing my weight every week. lol I'll have to think on that.
Anyway. Here's a recipe for a low-cal dessert item (I made this on Memorial Day.) It is called Orange Fluff... but affectionately got renamed "Orange Crap" at my Memorial Day party. "Hey Ang- that Orange Crap is pretty good!" lol
(1) 8 oz fat free sour cream
(1) .35 oz box sugar free orange gelatin dessert
(1) 8 oz container fat free cool whip
(1) 11 oz can mandarin oranges in light syrup, drained
Stir the sour cream, gelatin, and cool whip together until well mixed. Fold in the orange segments. Serve chilled.

I used this as a topping for angel food cake and it tasted really good. The Orange Crap was a hit!

Hello, fitness fans!
So I guess this is my introductory blog. I'm just going to explain a little bit about myself, why I'm here, and what I hope to share through my writings and ramblings.
Quick stats:
My name is Angelee. I'm 32 years old, I live in Ohio, and I've never been slim a day in my life.
Why I'm here:
I'm a (somewhat) regular video blogger on YouTube, and the support from that community has helped me tremendously in my weight loss efforts. I know several people from YT who post here, and they say writing out the blogs can help with accountability, plus it's easier than recording/editing/uploading a video every week. I think it will be a good way for those who want to keep closer track of me and my goings-on to check here. :) I plan to more closely document my nutrition and activity... my ups, downs, successes and failures. Any feedback I receive from others will be highly appreciated, and maybe something I do or say will help someone else along the way too. Nothing makes me happier!
A little background:
As I mentioned above, I've never been slim in my life. Granted, I am not an obese person... but I so want a flat stomach and thin thighs! I joined Weight Watchers in May 2007, and lost about 30 pounds in a year, getting me 8 pounds away from my goal. I plateaued for several months and was very frustrated. I quit WW in May 2008, and did the at-home fitness program, P90X. I loved doing P90X, and this is the program that introduced me to the wonders of video blogging and the AWESOME YouTube fitness support community. I definitely lost some fat and firmed up from P90X, but I put on about 10 pounds in the process. I had a rough 2 or so months with nutrition through the holidays... but since January '09 I've been completely back on the wagon! I'm sure throughout the course of my writings, I will detail more closely the workout programs I've done and my thoughts/results with these programs.
Another thing I hope to do through these blogs is to share some of my hints, tips, and favorite foods/recipes. These are things I can't really do on videos. I pick up a lot of great ideas through email subscriptions and from WW meetings that I would love to share! When it comes to weight loss, it's all about helping each other out.
What I'm doing now:
I am not on a specific workout regimen, I've basically been doing my own mix of cardio and weight workouts using my fitness DVD collection (which is becoming expansive!) I have been counting WW points again since the beginning of January, but have not yet rejoined meetings. I'd really like to though. I enjoyed the meetings and attending seemed to push me to take off pounds like nothing else does.
I am going to do an official weigh-in at the beginning of February, and I think I'll start recording my weight loss stats here. That might help keep me in line!
That's all for now. I'll return next week to update. :)
