Weight Loss Journey by Phylicia

So I have not yet "weighed in" (get it?) about our weight loss journey. Well, in a riveting turn of events, I am signing up for Weight Watchers today?! My boss wanted me to do it so that the whole family would be part of it and so that we could both help her. The fact that she even suggested it for me tells me i need it! I guess! To be honest, I don't know if my program has even been working for me because I'm not following my rules as well as I should. Also, I feel like I don't know what I'm eating! So maybe Weight Watchers is the place for me because I'll be accountable for what I'm eating! I'm nervous because I feel like I'm not strict enough to sit down and calculate points all the time! I'm going to try it because I think my body needs it! So, I will do better to let you know how this journey is going! Summer body here I come! Here we go!

Kiko won Round One. "Whoohoo!" she cheers. However, she realized that she still has a lot more to loose to get to be where she wants to be. Hence, Round Two. Oh, and if you are wondering, we still don't know what the "prize" will be. Silly girls.

This is round two. Round one took place from August 1, 2011 - March 2, 2012, when Kiko reached her goal weight of Y-55 pounds. And here is our revised contract:

Phylicia

I'm Phylicia. "Obviously" as Kiko would say! I love reading, talking, writing, playing, cooking, baking, doing arts and crafts, watching movies, spending time with friends, and kids! How did I come to be a nanny you ask? I'll tell you! I'm 24 years old and have lived here, in Ohio, my whole life! I graduated from Ashland University in 2010 with my degree in Social Work. Here's the thing about Social Work... You can work with a lot of different types of populations. Elderly, homeless, children, people in different countries, patients, people in rural, areas, students, families, anyone! You can really do anything. The only thing I really wanted to do was work with children, specifically adoption. But when i graduated there weren't a ton of jobs working with kids... in adoption...placing them with families. So, I saw an ad online for this family looking for a nanny for 3 kids all under 4 (4,2,9 months at the time). I thought, ''hmm.. maybe I'll do that for a few months until i find a Social Work job''. Well, hello two years later! Still here with the kids and I love it. :) I'm attached to these crazy babies and I don't think I could leave if I wanted to. I think I've acquired to some cool knowledge while working here.I have also had a lot of fun opportunities. Can't wait to share them with you all!

Kiko

Hey guys! It's me, Kiko. Obviously. I am just a silly little kid trapped inside a 22-year-old girl's body. I love to have fun and live life. I believe in making the most of any circumstance. Some of the ways I accomplish my mission of happiness is by drawing, photographing, filming, blogging, vlogging, YouTubing, singing, playing my guitar, reading, watching movies/TV, cooking/baking, sleeping, exercising, eating, hanging out with friends and family, going to church, playing with the children I live with, and a whole lot more. I'm from Hawai'i. Born and bred. The day after I graduated high school, I started working for a preschool, just for a summer job. But I loved it so much that my summer job turned into two years. (Where I'd probably still be had I not moved to my current residence.) I babysat for many of the families at this preschool. But the next thing I know, I moving across the country with one of them to be their Au Pair (live-in nanny basically.) I love these three beautiful children so much. Obviously. I left HAWAII to move to OHIO. But all joking aside, I truly am loving it here. It's superduper fun. The kids make me smile each day and this whole experience is helping me to become a better person. So now I choose to share with you my life & love. Thank you for reading. Let's go!
