Unveiling my Cee

When I started this journey, I had a lot of business to wrap up prior to going to Fitness Ridge. The day has come where it is no longer a secret to the bars I work at that I will be taking a hiatus for the month of April. I have decided to let my singers and followers know that I am going to be away for the month of April. I am leaving for a month to get healthy! That is pretty much what I have told them. Now that the 'cat' is out of the bag, I can be honest about who I am. So Cat Cee is now shedding the Cee and is proud to say its is really Chez. Cat Chez. I am married to a NY musician, Al Chez. You can find him 5 nights a week on 'Late Night with David Letterman'. He is the trumpet player, the middle horn player behind Paul Shaffer. We have a great life together, and spend so much of it sharing music with the world. It is always hard for me to prioritize my life, never mind I prefer not to do mornings! Well all that is about to change. I have made my peace with my world and am ready to leave it for a month. This is a great sacrifice to my husband Alan and to my 4 daughters. I am super close with all of my daughters and spend a lot of time on the phone with them. They range from 30 to 21. It will be hard for us all to be apart for an entire month. Because I have been preparing for Fitness Ridge for near 7 weeks, I feel I am on the successful path to good health. I want to be there for my family and I want to be there healthy. I don't want to be someone who said I could have been a healthy person if I only took the initiative. I am taking the initiative. So let it be known, I am Cat Chez, goodbye to the Cee. I am happily married with amazing children. I plan on being a healthy weight before this year ends, and really hope before the fall begins. I have lost 14 pounds since my journey began and hope that I lose a minimum of 10 pounds while I am away. My stage name is Karaoke Cat and I do have a website: www.karaokecat.com, I also have a myspace.com/karaokecat and facebook page, karaokecat chez. I am no longer hiding myself behind my monitor. I intend on living a healthy life for ME, and for those I love so much!!

A weekend of buttery movie popcorn aroma!

So we have this ritual that we do every year at this time. We try and get in the best pictures before tonight, Academy Awards Ceremony. On Thursday Alan said, the Academy Awards are Sunday, lets see what we can see before then. There started the mission. Thursday night I met Alan at a theater that was still showing two of the movies, The Last Station and Precious. We double featured it. I bought us both Subway on our way to the movie along with sliced apples for me. I had a late lunch so I opted to wait to eat my subway between the two movies. Alan on the other hand ate his subway during the first movie, then had the greasiest popcorn along with some butterfingers during the second show. I also had carrot sticks with me so I munched on my imaginary popcorn (carrots) while he ate his popcorn & candy. Friday followed with a 3pm showing of 'An Education', it is funny how prone we all are to want to have something to munch on while watching a film. I brought my own popcorn and candy, now..don't laugh...I brought in carrots, an apple and a couple of prunes! I was just as satisfied as Alan was with his candy. I can't begin to tell you how strong my sniffer was, I could taste Alan's chocolate in my mouth! No I did not make any bad choices!! So, last night took us out one more time, this time we had a little more than an hour between our first film and our second. We saw, 'Up in the Air' then went to the Macaroni Grill for dinner. I ordered a salad along with the balsamic chicken over angel hair with a side of broccoli. I broke down a little and had some of their bread, but kept it to a minimum. I ate a small portion of my chicken and gave Alan the rest and focused on all of my broccoli and some of my pasta. Back we went to the movie for our next feature film, 'Crazy Heart', the best of all the movies we saw this weekend. It is great seeing someone clean up their act and make it right. It is inspiring! Just like so many of the blogs I read!!!! We finished the night off watching our last film, 'The Hurt Locker' on our couch. So we are all set for the Academy Awards Ceremony tonight, and to get all revved up, I am heading to my elliptical now, then my treadmill, and lastly its another beautiful day here so my dogs are being treated with walks. My hopes is to award myself with at least a 1,000 calorie burn today. After all, I am 28 days away from checking in to Fitness Ridge!! Happy Sunday to all, see you at the movies..............

Another Weigh In, A wee bit closer to my March 15th goal

Today is another week, another week wishing, praying, hoping the scale is my friend. That it paid attention to all my good choices, and noticed the sweat that beaded off of me every single day this week. That it noticed that I ate that bowl of broccoli, instead of that bowl of sweet potato chips. That it noticed, that I passed on a late night snack every single day. That instead of reaching for that cheesy enchilada in my fridge, I opted for the carrots. And no matter how tired I was, I got my feet planted on my treadmill, and did a workout. I even reacquainted myself with my elliptical of which I ignored the week prior. Lets not forget that this week, I increased my workout from the week before. I even did sit-ups for the first time in so many months I am embarrassed to admit. So, it is THAT TIME but once again! I tap my scale, its blue hue in front of me, as the 8888 disappears and rewrites itself to read 0.00. I know this can make 'or' break my day. As I lift my feet one at a time, on to that little piece of glass that measures my achievements and failures of my week. I contemplate, did I do enough? Or am I going to spend my day getting over the crankiness that the scale is so good at creating within me. I didn't jump for joy as the number climbed and stopped at 184.1. Yes it was a loss, but heck I really had hoped for more. But it is a loss. I have convinced myself of that every 5 minutes since I got on that bloody scale! I am 10 days away from the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Inductions being held in NYC. I had hoped for 180.5 for that date. So basically, I need to lose 3.6 pounds in the next 10 days to reach my goal. Okay, so it seems plausible that I can do it. But it is frustrating that a week brought only a 1.5 weight loss. I am not complaining, I CAN do this. I did plateau this week and so I will do more than the last 6 weeks to get to and pass my goal! My plan...to actually use the gym membership I have continued to pay for the last year. I wanted to step up this month with weight training anyway. I am leaving here in '31 Days' for Fitness Ridge and don't want to go there without some strength training. I want to be able to lift my arms, leg and be able to breath without pure agony. So now is the time to step up my game even more. More cardio and the addition of the gym!! My goal is to wear if I feel I want to, my Emmy dress from a few years ago to the RnR Hall of Fame Ceremonies. I wore it at 182, and will try it on next weigh-in (next Thursday). If it looks good, I will more than likely wear it March 15th. So, to date, I have lost 13.7 pounds.
