Thinspo Challenge - Day 12

Day Twelve- What do you normally eat?

Here's my dailey routine. In the morning I would have coffee, morning snack; greek yogurt, lunch; slim fast or special k, unless I feel for some real food and try to get something healthy, Afternoon snack; something small, dinner, whatever it is for dinner, and some times it's a unhealthy version but if I go to the gym afterwards, I don't feel bad.

I want to change up my gym routine. So far, I've been going for a hour almost everyday and I'm not seeing much change in weight. So I'm going to try to wake up early so I can go to the gym in the morning for a hour. If I burn 500 cal in the morning and 500 in the even, then it's 1k for the day. I'm going to have to set my alarm clock for 5:30 in order for me to get up at 6 or else I'll keep hitting the reset button and the next thing you know, I'll have to go to work. Wish me luck.

Thinspo Challenge - Day Eleven

Day Eleven- Your favorite thinspo blog and why!

The only thinspo blog I know of is the Thinspirational Journey by Kyrstle Lane. I read her post everyday about how she's trying to live healthy and loose weight. When people comment on her blog, she automatically gets back them and I sent her a email about a question and she got back to me quickly. She suggest a lot of ways that people can lose weight. The thinspo challenge that I'm on came from her website. 

 I asked her a question before about how to deal with constipation. Here's what she said, maybe you guys can try it too.

"Constipation usually means that you are not in taking enough fiber in your system.
Eat more broccoli and drink lots and lots of water.
Try drinking 1 glass of warm lemon juice unsweetened in the morning.

Squeeze one Lemon into a mug and fill it warm water and then drink first thing in the morning.


Make sure you drink more than 7 glasses of water a day and don't eat too much processed food.


Try it for a week to 21 days."


So starting Monday, I will give this a try. If you've tried it before, comment and tell me how it worked for you.

Thinspo Challenge - Day Nine and Ten

I lost a day yesterday because it was to hectic at work and I usually do my blog first thing in the morning.

Day Nine- Did people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?





Oh yes. I once went over one of my friends house and their mom made a comment, well multiple comments, about how much weight I gained. It was embarrassing. She asked, Who's been feeding me? and Why I gained that much? I laughed it off but I was thoroughly embarrassed. I'm not visiting her again until I lose my weight.

Day Ten- What was the hardest thing you gave up during this “weight loss.”

Salt and Vinegar chips. I love junk food but those are my favorite. Especially the Kettle brand. Every time I go to the store, I try my hardest to avoid the chips ale. When they are on sale at Whole Foods, it's like they are on every corner. LOL.

By the way, I checked my weight today and it's down to 153.8. As one of my friends would say, FIGHTING!!

30 Day Thinspo - Day Eight

Day Eight- Your workout routine.
This is so funny because yesterday was the first time for me going back to the gym. Well, I want my routine for me to be 30 minutes before work and 30 minutes after work, unless I go with someone and then I'll stay for a hour. I want to go for burning 1k a day in calories but right now I'm going to have to take it slow because I haven't be to the gym in so long. I'll make a post about the 1k when I get to it. Until then wish me luck. 

Monday, October 22, 2012

Thinspo Day Six

Day Seven- Do your parents know you’re trying to lose weight? Do they care?

I haven't talk to my mom for over a year. I'm not going more into it because it's a rocky road. Yum!

I'm very happy that over the weekends, when I go to the Yellow Green Farmer's Market, I'm not giving in to the foods that's there. Before the weekend I was 154.2. After the weekend, I'm still 154.2. I didn't lose but I didn't gain either which is always good.

I came up with a goal that I want to be 120 by december. That means that I'm going to have to add exercise to my arsenal. In the mornings, I'm going to do 30 mins at the Gym. After work, 30 mins. Unless I have to go with someone else which will be a hour. I'm going to try to loose 1k cal everyday. Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted.

Thinspo - Day Six

Day Six- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.

Well I would say that binge would be you eating something fatty and not caring if you gain weight from it or not. If that's the definition, I would say that I don't binge. Now if I eat something fatty, like the chinese food I had last night, I would try to keep it in reasonable portions.

Unless I eat something I don't know the calories of, like the egg roll, I'm not eating that unless I'm eating something very little. It's 372 cals, by itself. I didn't know that but now I do. I calorie count wise, I would've been good if I didn't have it but I still lost some weight so I'm not feeling that bad.

Thursday, October 18, 2012

Thinspo - Day Five

Day Five- Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you?

I'm doing it for no one else but me. I always wanted to wear certain clothes that would look great but my stomach always gets in the way. I would also love to wear a two piece swimsuit.

Not being truthful.

I really hate it when someone doesn't want to come forward and just admit something. Instead, they beat around the bust or they just ignore the question or suggest and continue with something else.

He knows he doesn't like animals. He says it everyday when the dog does something he does like or the bunny hopping around pooping because it doesn't want to use the litterbox.

They are animals. They are not like children but babies. They'll mess up, you'll clean up and then you try to make them understand what they did was bad, not wish that they would walk outside and disappear or get hit by a car. I hear this consistently and it's getting on my nerves.

Last night, the dog was barking so much that I had to go spray him the bottle. He tried to dodge me by going around the computer that's on the floor in the living room. Going around and not trying to knock it over. He says, the dog gotta keep away from his stuff or he'll open the door, let him walk out, and go to sleep, then wake up the next morning, close the door and get on with life. I swear I had to try with all my might not to spray him in the ear.

BTW, his girlfriend wants to become a veterinarian and there will be animals over the house sometimes. Not only that but if he acts like this with animals, what will he do when he have kids. Especially around their terrible twos when they want to touch and knock down everything. Will he just open the door and turns his back, no!

He needs to get use to things messing with his stuff and soon because my patients is wearing thin.

Thinspo Day Four

 One thing I hate about being a woman is that time of the month where my weight goes haywire. I've lost for lbs last week and now that I'm closer to that time, my weight is slowly going back up. I've been really strict on what I eat, even on fast food. Last night we had pizza and I went on live strong to see how much I could eat.

I ate a little over like, 165 calories, because I love papa johns pizza. I knowing me, if I didn't look it up, I would've eating 3 slices and all the buffalo wings so I'm very proud of myself. Now only if it wasn't my time of the month. Now I'm going to have to weight till it's past to be able to weight myself again.

Day Four- Your greatest fears about weight loss.

My greatest fears about weight loss is not losing the weight. I've been through a time where I would try my hardest for a week or so and nothing comes off. Now that's scary.

I Have No Choice

Earlier today, my girlfriend, told me that I can't vent to her about something that's bothering me because, for a lack of better words, they are meaningless, worthless, and a complete waste of her time. So now, unfortunately, I'm going to have to use my blog to vent. I didn't want to though. I wanted it to be positive and inspiring. But now I'm going to have to use it to get things off my chest that's bothering me.

It hurts to know that I can't tell her what's bothering me. She complains to me too and I don't say anything about it because I want her to tell me. I want to know what's bothering her and if I can do something about it. I'm not going to share anymore. I'm going to be blank. If she wants to do something that bothers me, I'll let her do it because it's not like my opinions matter.

It actually felt good to say that. I'm tired of stressing over something and know that she doesn't even care about why it bothers me. It's not only her either. It's ppl around me in general. There's SOMETHING wrong with me when I have a problem. Just because they are use to it happening doesn't mean that I am. It bothers me a lot and I just want some ppl to understand!! Why do I have to cry in a corner when everyone else is ok. Laughing, having causal conversation while something is bothering me and I can't share it or I'll get weird looks. I'm tried... just tired.

Thinspo - Day 3

I've been so busy that I haven't been up to post for a while. Well I've been doing this for a week now and I lost 4 lbs. I track my calories from Livestrong and it's a really great help. I'll just continue from where I left off on the questions and thank you Lara for you comment.


Day Three- A picture of your thinspiration. What features do you like about this person?

I don't really have a person but I do want to cosplay and all the customes I want show the stomach. Here are a couple.

I need to get into the routine.

I have not been doing so good on the food intake for the calories. I need to be more strict. Yesterday I had chinese food for dinner and I'm also having it for lunch. My dinner has to be light. I also have to exercise more. I had the time to yesterday but choose not to which is not in my best interest.

Day Two- How tall are you? Do you like your height?

I'm 5'2 inches. I'm a average height for a woman. Even though it's hard for me to reach some items that are high, I'm really happy I'm no smaller.

Livestrong.com

I've been neglecting counting my calories for a while now and I need to start doing it again. It really did help in watching what I eat. I re-planned my calorie goal on livestrong.com, I highly recommend this site, and it says that I should eat 1041 a day. I should be able to lose 1.5 a week. I will also excerise on top of that, either skating, walking or going to the gym. Speaking of gym, I found out that it's better for me to do 30 mins everyday in the morning then going twice or three times a week in the evening for a hour. It keeps me energized and I'm not trying to kill myself. I'll see how it goes and if this plan works.

Updating sorry for not posting

I've stopped posting on my blog because I've became so busy with my freelancing. Which is a good thing. I've opened up a business in a farmer's market called Yellow Green Farmer's Market. I've gotten a lot of business from people passing by and asking me what I do. I've done logos and websites. It's been keeping me a float since my job's check has been going all towards bills with not a single penny to spare. I'll be updating with what projects I'm doing and where am I in my goal of owning my own business without working for someone else. BTW, I'm doing a website for South Beach Tow! It's so exciting. I'm talking to Robert himself! I'm almost done and I will be posting the finished website once I'm done with it.

Day 9- Did people ever make comments about your weight in a negative way?

No. No one ever said that I was fat. Thank God! I was already picked on how my face looked when I was in school. I don't think I could take someone talking about my weight too.

Thinspo Challenge - Day 7

Day 7- Do your parents know you’re trying to lose weight? Do they care?

I lose all contact with my mom. So no she doesn't know that I'm losing weight. Would she care? Yes, because she would think that losing weight is always a good thing. 

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Thinspo Challenge - Day 6

Day 6- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.

Liquid Diet and Thinspo Challenge

I'm going on a liquid diet and I will be using the questions from Thinspo Challenge to keep me on track. My diet will consist of Atkins Meal Supplements in the morning, Odwalla Fruit Juice for lunch, and Soup for dinner, mostly tomato since that's the only one that just liquid.  I'll be doing this for two months and I'll see how much weight I can lose. Tomorrow will be day one because I decided to do this is when I got home. I had tomato soup tonight. Wish me luck. I have the Thinspo Challenge question list on my Goals Page.

Puffy Heart

Today I finished my puffy heart project for crochet. The finished product is on my videos page. I'm satisfied with it. I wish that it ended up like the one in the Crochet Geeks video. I don't know what I didn't wrong but it looks like a heart so I'm happy.

Fun Saturday!

Yesterday, I had a lot of fun. First, I went to get my hair done at this beauty school called, ASM Beauty School down the street from my house. When I got there, I got a french manicure, which turned out really nice. After that, I had my hair relaxed and both the teacher and the student was in my head. I felt like one of those manikins head, I just hoped that my head wouldn't end up like some of the them with no hair, eek. It was faster, that's a fact. My hair turned out great and it actually grew more. It's past my shoulders now.

Next I went to the gym, Youfit, and I did 30 mins on Elliptical and 30 mins on the bike. I had to stop earlier because I was getting a headache and I didn't have any pain killer. Usually I use the Elliptical for 1 hour and they have new bikes that has better workout than the old ones. These bikes has a T.V. attached to it so you can watch it.

We went home to take a bath to wash off the sweat and headed to the mall. We stopped at Bahamas Breeze and I gotten drunk off of wine. We went to the mall for the last hour and stopped by Hot Topic, my favorite store.

Hard Rock! We walked around the Hard Rock for a time. I couldn't get into a club because one of our friends wasn't up to dress code but we decided to go next weekend. So yeah I had a lot of fun.

Blah day and Crochet


Today was a boring day at work. The Creative Director was there to guide me. Poor man was out sick again so I had the pleasure of having my boss’ to try to give me work, fun.  When I got there I did have work but around 2, two of them left which left me with one that I barely work with and that can’t come up with anything. So I basically had to come up with something to do on my own. I got to work at 10 because I had to walk again so I was going to leave at 6 but not if I don’t have anything to do.  So I left. 

When I got home, my book, “The Happy Hooker” by the author of Stitch’n Bitch, Debbie Stoller. Now all I need is the right size hook and I can start practicing.  I started to read it but at the same time I was listening to “Meet Cap” on Netflix and lose my concentration.  That has got to stop if I’m going to try to crotchet. My first project will be the Convertible Hat.

New Make-up

Today was another stress less day. Yay! I was able to leave at 5:30 and I was able to take the bus home. It was a great day. I hope that tomorrow is the same. At Walgreens, I finally got my powder foundation and lip balm. Sharri gotten some shimmer eye shadow and we both tried it. We looked great. The images of what we used are below. I’m going to wear it when I go to a party.



Foundation: Covergirl Rehab Tone / Covergirl Clean Powder Pressed


Eyeshadow: Maybeline Eyestudio












Mascara: Revlon Custom Eyes



Yesterday

Yesterday wssn't a tough day. Just small projects. I did talk to another graphic designer that admitted that I was a better than he was and he works for stumble upon! That really both my moral.

Sunday, January 15, 2012

Weekend

This weekend has been very relaxing and I was able to catch up to life. Work has been taking over my life, to the point where I couldn't take care of any errands at all. I was able to hangout with a friend and see another friend/client at her job at the Farmer's Market. The reason why I call her friend/client is because I'm creating a website for her company called Mystik Sisters.

She's a great person. I had no choice but to be a friend because if I didn't, I would regret it. I was about to go to her store to finally be able to take pictures to add to her website.

I found a new hobby today. I want to learn how to crochet. Sharri is learning knitting and that seems interesting but I wasn't THAT interested. But crocheting, one hook, a lot of yarn, sign me up! I've been watching Create Tv and they have this show called Knit and Crochet Today. The things they made looks great and can sell in stores for a high price. Anyway, when we visited Nitza, my friend/client, I saw that her neighbor's booth was hanging her mothers crocheting blankets. Her mother passed away and she wanted to sell the blankets that her mother made by hand. They were gorgeous!

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Not so busy day.

Today at work was really stress less. All I did was add pictures to a social media account and make some changes on some other projects. My boss said that we should be caught pretty soon and that's great. The last two months has been hectic. Very stressful. Things should slow down now and hopefully I'll be able to leave work on time.

Maybe I'll have the time I need for my freelance. Getting home before the sun goes down is great and that means that I can call clients and they'll still be up. My girlfriend is still looking for a job and I'm helping her. I think that getting laid off is a opportunity for better things to come. She depressed and I'm trying my hardest to keep her spirits up.

She never bored because she has so many hobbies and things to do. You can visit her blog: 100 Things Before I Turn 24. It's a very interesting read.

Company Meeting Gone Wrong.

Today, we had a company meeting today. Company meeting, yeah right! I have 4 boss' and only one of them spoke. Seriously before he even said a word, I knew that it was going to go down badly. He totally went the wrong way about it.

First, he's first sentence was, "Some people will be leaving us". Really? You're going to tell a room full of people that some of them are leaving. Then he went on the say some of the problems we have and instead of saying overall problems, he pointed out specific people and then said that just because he points out one person, he means everyone. That was a very stupid statement.

He pointed out one person that they were been on the phone too much during work. He already told them before that he's mom is going to need him because she's not well. He's mom had surgery on her eye yesterday and he had to accept a call from her for 40 mins. They basically said that that was unprofessional and hindered his work. I call from his mom who's recovering.  

They, well, HE say that he wants us to be a team, but aren't you suppose to lead by example? The way he handled that meeting was very unprofessional and I won't be surprised if we miss some employees tomorrow.

Landlord

Ok so for the past almost 3 months; there have been two holes in my floor because the foundation in my home is weak. Mind you, my landlord new that and did nothing about it. I think he thought that it would hold up over time or something. Anyway, since the foundation is weak, two hold appeared. There’s one in front of the bed of our roommate and one outside his door. 

Now granted that he's a big dude, big as in height and a little on weight, but still, a foundation of anything shouldn't be deteriorating. So when our least is up we are definitely moving. I don't know where but it'll be someone better. As for our roommate, I think he's going to find somewhere else to stay but we are not going to move around the school that he goes to. 

Our friend, Chad, will be living with us and I think that that would be great. At least we know him and he's social. This roommate stays in his room with the door closed all day and that's just weird. He's a nice guy and all but he needs to be a little more social. 

ANYWAY, I just realized I complete got off topic. So the holes has been in the house for almost three months and I've still been paying my rent because I thought that he wouldn't take as long as he is now. I wrote me a little letter two days ago about how I'm holding the rent until he fixes it and he calls yesterday afternoon about how he wasn't to come over and take a look at the holes. 

When all else fails, write a letter. He also came a fixed any little other problems we had. He said that the guy was coming over today in the afternoon so let's see. I'll post again to tell you guys what happened.

New Favorite Foundation


I was going Walgreens to get some bus fair for tomorrow, when I saw the Covergirl Olay Tone Rehab on promo for buy one get one half. I've been trying to find foundation that matches my skin tone and I haven't been having the best of luck.

I bought my tone, Tawny, and went home to try it. I thought, while I'm add it, why not try one of Michelle Phan's tutorials and see how it goes. Well, I did her Valentine's Day look and since my skin is dark, it didn't show up as good but it still looked great. The foundation was perfect. It didn't look like I was wearing foundation at all. It also felt very light on my skin. I really recommend this product and I will post it on her website as a suggestion.

Early Blog

I've decided to post my blog a little early today because I know that I won't be able to tonight. Work is going by smoothly right now, even though my boss is going through a impatient phase right now. We have new people working with us. The more the merrier I always say. Today I was able to come to work at least a little bit earlier today. So I was least than 30 mins late instead of over. The reason for that is I walk to work instead of riding my bike like I use to because Sharri is working with me now and I'm not going to leave her. They better not talk about how late I am since they have cars and they won't leave their wives walking. They better put up with it. Unless they offer us a ride, they shouldn't say anything. I've been trying to see if I can awake at 6 so that I can catch the bus to work but so far it hasn't been working out. I've been getting up at 7 instead of 6 and miss the bus that would make me early for work. Today I was able to catch the 9:10 bus and that's why I wasn't so late.

3-Day Weekends

Who came up with 2 days of rest and 5 days of work? Why couldn't there be three days of rest? I would've been happy with 4 days of work with the amount of hours I'm stacking up at work. Sometimes I feel as if I wanna call out of monday and not come but my job counts on me heavily so I can't. Darn. My dog has been licking his tail raw and I when I researched why, I found out that it could be from the food I've been feeding him. He might have allergies. So I stopped giving him that type, which was Pedigree, and now I'm just giving him the Cesars. I had to mussel him for two days because I didn't have bandages for his tail to stop him for licking it. Of course I felt bad about it but it's to keep his tail safe. Today, I was able to go to Walgreens and buy him a bandage roll for humans, because for some reason, they don't sell ONE brand for dogs and baby Wal-dryll because that's what I could afford at the time. Now he's sitting on his bed with a wrapped up tail. He still tries to get at it but he can't. I'm happy about that, even if he isn't. It's for his own good after all.

21-Day Belly Melt - Week One

It's been a week since I started the 21-Day Belly Melt. The food is delicious and the exercises are easy. It starts off with giving you the first week of meals and after that, you choose from their list of meals. They have Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner. This is the only diet I've seen that would allow so much chocolate, even if they are semisweet.

I feel as if I've lost weight. Last time I checked my weight, I have 139.2. The past three days, I haven't been able to check my weight because simply I forgot. I'll have to check tomorrow morning to see what my weight is. My girlfriend, Sharri, is worried that she won't lose weight but I don't see how with the way that we eat.

We don't eat less, just right. It has great portions and very little meat. We only ate roast beef last week and the rest of the time has been fish. I don't mind it. I use to be a meat freak. If the meal didn't have chicken or beef, I wasn't a meal. Now it's like I don't care if the meal didn't have any meat at all.

Also to help with my diet, I've been drink herbal tea that will help me go to the bathroom every 3 days. My body is irregular. So irregular that I would go a week without going. It was very uncomfortable. It helps because I get rid of weight that I'm holding. That's how I see it. I only drink half because my stomach would hurt otherwise.

Well that's it for now. I will be giving another update by the end of this week to track my progress.

Garages on the weekend!

For the past 3 weeks, I've been going to garage sales to see what I can get for sale and I really cheap prices. I'm doing this so I can sell for myself on Ebay and try to get top dollar. I've watched TV shows, like America Pickers, Storage Wars, and Pawn Stars. It seems to be a unique source of income and you never know what you might find. I've come across a lot of great vintage items, such as tin cans and books.
Not only am I getting such great items but contacts as well. Like I said before, I'm a freelance graphic designer and I've gotten three people's phone numbers because they have work for me. Two for business cards and one for a website. I try to make a effort to have extra spending money and time for the weekend, sometimes I do freelance work and that takes up my time. I think I should add "Have great time management" to my lifetime goals.

Make-Up

Walgreens has been having this killer sale on make-up for the past season. Too bad that I noticed it when all the make-up was almost gone, so I had to get ones on regular price too. It was also around the time that I found out about Michelle Phan which is like fate, I think. I always found make-up interesting. I just never had to chance to buy any because of financial reasons.

Dieting

I have tried many different diets over the last year. From Flat Belly Diet to Reboot, my weight has been going up and down. I can't really stay on the diet because of financial reasons. Why does vegetable and fruit cost more than anything? Hence, the downward spiral of Reboot. Leaving Whole Foods with a cart full of groceries will have your wallet crying. I recently found this diet from 21-Day Belly Melt. It's inexpensive and the exercises are very easy to do at home. Except for the ones that make you go outside and right now the weather is below 50. Not happening.

Why have a voice?

Today I was so frustrated with one of my co-workers that I was about to yell. Everything I say goes over her head and she doesn't give a damn. Like my 4 years of experience means nothing and whatever she wants, she gets. Not with me. I'm not about to have a flyer or a brochure or anything be printed over a thousand times with a ugly design. My designs represent me and my personality. I'm the one that will proudly say that I did that. I'm not backing a design that's hideous. I'm the designer, not her and she needs to know her place. 

My boss is not making this any better by saying, everyone is different. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but don't straight up ignore me and do your own thing. I wish I can show the AD that SHE did but I can't but trust me it's gross.

Working

Right, I'm sitting at my desk on break and I thought, why not blog? What should I blog about? Why not my job. 6 months after graduated from college and found the job of my dreams, that is if it wasn't stressful. My main boss is a perfectionist and all my other bosses can't make up their damn minds about decisions. I know I'm not the only one to feel that way. I keep getting raises every 3 months depending on my performs so that's a good thing. I started at 300/wk now I've boosted up to 400/wk. Doesn't sound good, I know but when you are coming from a retail background, THAT'S GREAT! Break is about to be over so I might as well end it here.

Neopets

Ok so before anyone say anything, yes I know that Neopets are for kids but I love animals and taking care of virtual animals is awesome. I love the games, quests, and I little goal I have for myself. To reach 1 Mil in Neopoints. Right now I have over 250 k. I'm getting there. If I can, I will add a picture and link to my profile. Let's be friends!
