I should update more often

Whazzzzzzzup? (Sorry, I had to do it! I've been feeling "younger" and more chipper here lately. lol)



Well, it's been a while since I've updated last. A lot has been going on. I'm continually doing my shakes twice a day, and have a nice meal for my other meal. I've been using 5 different vitamins, supplements.. whatever you want to call them. I've been on those for about 2 weeks, and I feel like they've helped me tremendously as well. I'm on the Cell Activator, Cell-U-Loss, Snack Defense, Thermo-Bond and Total Control. I've also been drinking some tea- original flavor with a teaspoon of Stevia natural sweetner and it's great. Some pills say you can take them 3 times a day, and some say twice a day. So, instead of having to keep track of all of that, I take all 5 pills every time I have a shake... So, twice a day.- I'm also thinking of getting the NRG tablets to try out.

I've been doing good about not eating junk or drinking soda. I haven't had any soda since the middle of August. Well over a month! I know at my 4 week mark I had lost about 15 lbs. I weighed today and I had lost 17 lbs from my beginning weight. I'm ecstatic! It doesn't really feel like a "diet" to me. I mean, the shakes are really, REALLY good. The one I fix twice a day is the Cookies and Cream and it is super chocolaty. I love it. And then for dinner, I usually eat with my family.. or if I don't really care for what's been cooked (I don't really cook much.. I'm pretty bad at it lol), I'll plan on doing a shake for dinner and get something for lunch- like a salad or grilled chicken sandwich. And LOTS of water! - I sweat all of the time. -- It's still in the mid 90's (degrees) here in Texarkana. Can you believe it?

I had an interview this afternoon for a huge local car dealership. I think it went really great. He said that he'd let me know something in a couple of days. It pays decent (for this area) and there are bonus opportunities. If I'm given this job, along with my photography, and maybe one day selling Herbalife I'll definitely be able to move out soon. I'd love to be on my own in 6 months or less. - It's been kind of rocky here lately with a certain parent, and it's difficult for me to have to deal with that. I have to bite my tongue quite often around her., and that's hard for me to do. It's just an awkward stage for me. I'm an adult, now in my mid 20s, living with my parents and still feeling like a little child. I'm ready to be back on my own.

I'll hopefully update soon!

It's been a while..

Hey all! Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I've been busy with my photography, and of course my dieting and exercise ;)

This past Monday I turned the BIG 2-5. It's been a difficult week for me.. food and exercise wise. Last weekend we went out to eat with the family. Then this week I had several friends want to treat me to dinner for my birthday.. How could I say no?

But, I've been back on track the past couple of days and doing good! I'm actually house and dog sitting for a friend, so I'm not home and able to weigh on my scale. So, next week when I get home I'll be curious to see where I am. The last time I weighed I had lost in between 11-12 pounds.

I bought Just Dance 2 yesterday for our Wii, and my sister and I have been dancing. I actually still feel the effects of it in my lower stomach and legs. It's probably the best workout I've had yet, and so much fun! We were laughing at ourselves the entire time. I'm sure I looked like a complete goof trying to dance and all. Maybe when I'm half the size I am now I'll hit the club and dance in public..hahaha. Probably not.

Today actually marks 4 weeks of me dieting! :) I've got to keep it up! I want to be looking fabulous and gorgeous for my 26th birthday!

Ohh- and I had my before photos taken Sunday the 11th. I should get those back within the next week or so, and I'll post a few. I'm kind of nervous to see what the look like. I'm used to being behind the lens, and it was so uncomfortable for me to be in front of it this time!

Later!
