A couple of months ago now I finally made a determination to do something about my weight. The scale kept creeping up until even I couldn't stand it any more. I'm more about a life plan than a diet because although diets work, they only last as long as you're committed to that plan. A life plan means that's how you're going to live your life. I decided I could live with smaller portions and better eating habits than cutting out foods I like way too much.
Along with that I purchased a Fitbit. It's a little thingie that counts steps, etc. It will do a lot more than that but that's how I've used it so far. I aim for 10,000 steps a day, don't always make and don't do it every day, but it's more than I did before. So far, I'm down fifteen pounds. I'm literally walking my tush off. :-)
Ray, who has always been an ass man, has been very appreciative. He said I've gone from watermelons to cantelopes and he can't seem to keep his hands to himself - here a swat, there a swat, everywhere a swat swat. Not that I'm complaining mind you. Taking full advantage of the situation, the other day we were teasing each other, actually I was teasing him and he pulled me over his lap and spanked me. The dam has broken and I got exactly what I wanted.
I see a lot more teasing in his future and hopefully more trips over his lap for me.
See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
Good for you!! Enjoy being healthy. I have made the change too and it's fabulous. Healthy is the new skinny :) I lift weights which had helped me really trim down but no longer step in the scale as it doesn't depict my progress. Keep going and enjoy the "love swats
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Kris.. You too keep going.
DeleteCongrats!!! I know how hard it is to change eating habits! Sounds like a win-win-win ( a win for Ray too) situation!
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Thanks abby. Yes you do know about eating habits, you changed yours. It is a win win for both of us.
DeleteCongrats on the weight loss, that is amazing! Keep up the teasing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennelle. I can be a great ease, sometimes he plays along, sometimes not.
DeleteHooray for you!
ReplyDeleteThe weight loss makes for more spankings.
I like what Kris wrote.........healthy is the new skinny!
Meredith
Thanks Mere. I have a long way to go before i would be skinny. I gave that up sometime around 45 or so, but I will be less than I am.
DeleteSG - Teasing is good, keeps everything fresh.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss, great news.
Love,
Ronnie

Yes it is good and I love the results when they happen.
DeleteWoo hoo!!! Yay on the weight loss! And on the spanking!
ReplyDeleteI think we act more confident when we feel sexy. Our guys read that and react!! Again I'm cheering!!
Who hoo is right on both counts.
DeleteHi Leigh,
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!! Healthy is fun, playing is fun and spanking is an added bonus... So happy for you!! :0)
Totally get the life change and not just a diet, so true and so much better on your mental and physical health because you don't get the yoyo thing going. Ugh.. Been there, done that have a tshirt saying as much. HA! :0)
Hugs,
Irish Lucky
I have several of those T shirts myself, Irish. This way is much better.
DeleteCongratulations on the weight loss and the tush swatting. May both continue :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Del, I hope they both continue.
DeleteHi Leigh, congratulations on the weight loss. I like the idea of a life plan a lot, it sounds so much more like a healthy way of getting into shape than dieting. I am glad that you two can enjoy your progress so much and can only agree with abby. You are in a win-win-win situation.

Nina
It is Ni Na = I think I've been on every diet known to man but eventually I go back to old habits and the numbers keep creeping up.
DeleteWhat a lovely post! Your tushy is melting faster than mine. I'm happy for you though and I hope the teasing and butt warming continues for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks PK. I hope it continues too. You know we both fight the same battle.
DeleteI agree, changing the way you eat is better than a diet, then you never feel deprived! Keep it up, that is quite the incentive ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is better because if I want something, I have it and just don't eat as much of something else. It fits my psyche better.
DeleteCongratulations on the weight loss. I agree that a life plan is a positive way to look at it...a healthy way of eating and living to support you throughout... I am so happy for you... :-)
ReplyDeleteThus far I have lost 12 pounds...but has been challenging...but I keep working on it...thanks for the inspiration to keep going :-)
Congrats to you too Terps. Your road is much harder because you have kids to feed.
DeleteYour mug cake has been dessert many a night - I just substitute stevia for the honey.
Hi Leigh - I commented earlier but forgot to hit publish - what a dork, lol. But I wanted to say that I'm so happy for you! I totally agree that it's about finding a lifestyle change rather than a diet. And it's wonderful when we figure out what works for us. And I'm so excited that Ray is giving you the spankings that you so desire. Sounds like everything is going perfectly!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cali
Thanks Cali, you are not a dork. Thanks for the words of encouragement and it's taken me a long time to come to this.
DeleteDang, I am sitting here eating a bowl of ice cream as I read your post. Congratulations on your weight loss and all the good that it brings. Maybe this should be the last bowl for awhile for me.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, Blondie. I had cake and ice cream too last night. That's the beauty of this life plan, everything - just smaller. lol.
DeleteCongratulations Sunny...so happy you are doing so well...losing weight and getting spanked which I'm sure leads to dancing! One of these days, I will hit on what works to allow me to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings...
Cat
Cat, when the time is right, you'll do it if it is something you really want. I just couldn't stand looking at myself anymore and I refused to buy another larger size.
DeleteI've struggled with my weight since I was about 25. I have whole periods of being a decent size (never skinny though) and then years of heavy. A son's wedding, a trip, looking bearable in a bathing suit have all been goals for me (that last one never works). Now as we are older, my sex drive seems stronger than my spouse's, so I've been thinking if I lost weight, was more desirable, maybe it would help. I've been trying small changes too (did ok until we had 3 social events in a row), and I'm going to try to stop and think more before eating. It's helpful to read several ladies on blogs working on this at the same time. He won't spank me and keep track of loss, BUT he will provide a "good girl" one when he sees me trying. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it we're all still working on this issue. I thought for sure I would be beyond it at this point but voila - still at it. I think part of it is the media, we see all these skinny women and then look at ourselves. In our heads we know we will never look like them again no matter how skinny we get - it's a fact of life, gravity takes over and that's that. Maybe that's why Spanx were invented.
DeleteAnyway, just keep trying and Good Luck with the 'good girl', it's better that way anyway.
Hi Sunny, congratulations on the weight loss, It seems to have had the same effect on my husband too!! Well done,
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Thanks Jan, you too.
DeleteCongratulations on the weight loss Sunny ... and the extra spanky benefits :) good on you! Watermelons to cantelopes ... lol.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Roz
I didn't ask whether they were personal watermelons or regular ones - I didn't want to know. lol.
DeleteI'm totally with you in the life plan. It is the only way not only to loose weight but to have a stable weight. So I applaud you for the 15 pounds, I know now from own experience how difficult that can be. Good for you! (Good girl, we say at home, Grin). My Wanita is dieting as long as I know her, from one crash diet to another. It all doesn't work if you don't change your lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you've got Ray's attention as well huh? Good for you! Have fun both.
Warmly,
Han
I can sympathize with Wanita, been there, done that, many times. This new plan works because nothing is off limits.
DeleteYes, Ray seems happy. Loved reading your post about your great challenge day.
Wonderfull news, SG. and you are right. It is all about Life plan.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossing... Smaller portions helps. adn Walking too and spanking ofcourse..lol..
Hugs,
Mona Lisa
Of course, and it's the fun kind so you don't have to be upset. That's all we do, so if it's real life you need not worry.
Deletewell done on the weight loss. i need some serious motivation. the weather is down to slushy and mushy here and it's not conducive to walking. but then, maybe it's an excuse. cos when it was dry and hot THAT wasn't conducive to walking either.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I always managed to find an excuse in the past too, so I can relate. Once you get started, it's easier to keep going - so be like Nike and just do it. lol
DeleteOh wow! That's impressive! Keep it up!!!
