There I said it. It’s out there in the universe, swirling around now. I’m a thin, light, lean, mean machine. That’s me! Well, it will be soon.
Today I put a suit on that I plan to wear on a business trip to Florida in late February. I embarrassed myself. Just two and a half years ago this suit fit me and looked pretty stinkin’ good. Not so this time. Blech.
So, I promptly took it off and hung it on my bedroom door as a reminder. I proceeded to take three sheets of 8.5X11 paper and write messages to myself. I wrote one that says “Don’t eat ANYTHING. You must fit in your suit! You need to lose it!” (it’s on the junk food cupboard) and another saying, “Thin & Lean is IN & Beautiful!! Thin, Light, Lean, Mean Machine!!” (that one is suppose to get me amped up, and it’s above my desk), then one last one says, “The weight needs to come OFF! and you are the ONLY one who can do it!” (that one is on my bathroom mirror).
So – I’m going to document my losses here. I am good at this. I can definitely lose weight when I put my mind to it. Don’t worry. I am a health-nut dieter, not a basket case with OCD and anorexia. I’ll be good, I promise.
This all begs the question: What do you do to get yourself back on track, both mentally and physically?
Tell me about it! I’d really like to hear, especially if you are trying to get slim once again as well!
Here’s to the new US in 2008 – or should I say, renewed US? After all, this won’t be new – it’s more like a long lost friend who’s come back into our lives! What a fantastic feeling!
So today – here I am at ground zero. I have lost no weight. My goal? At least 11 lbs.
Stay tuned for the adventures of the Lean Mean Ms. Cheevious.

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis
Dang! I am glad to hear that I am not the only one going though that. Your self-motivation techniques sound promising, but I don’t know how they would be looked upon in my office at work. Who cares though? I’m going to put up that “Thin & Lean is IN & Beautiful” sign anyways. Looking forward to hearing your successes as once again the weight roller-coaster has reached it’s peak and is headed downward.
Okay – about this dieting thing . . . At first I thought – She couldn’t be in any better shape! My God girl – you wanna be a waif?
Then I completed the blog to see it was an 11 lb. goal. That’s okay. But you still look fantastic & should just BUY A NEW SUIT!!!
Love ya!
get the quantum labs catalog i gave you and order the greens.
Oh boy…if i have to get back on track, something i too am being faced with at the moment, i know it’s because of one thing and one thing only. I’m on a sugar kick. I am an exercise freak, totally addicted, do it everyday. So i should be thankful for not having to overcome that obstacle, running on the treadmill every morning is my drug….unfortunatly, sugar is my other drug of choice. So, if i feel my waistband getting tighter on a pair of my favorite jeans, the chocolate and the cookies go out the window!
Thanks Tan! I will check it out. I left the catalog in Aspen though. I’ll have to rely on my expert nutritional skills. And Thanks everyone for your comments. Some good ideas and encouragement. Yeah – the cookies are off limits for now, until I get this under control. I won’t even go to my favorite coffee house and read the paper in the mornings, for fear of hitting it at a vulnerable time and downing a peach scone or a monster cookie (which I love!!)…
