Bright Shinny Object Syndrome.

So I have a problem consistently Blogging...and don't even get me started on vlogging. I finally concluded the other day why I have such a hard time doing it...BOYS.

Boys are the root to all problems. And in my case, it is boys that have always come between me and my beloved blog.

When I started my blog I was single. I was doing great. I was blogging all the time, my shopping had settled down, I was doing good in school, and I was hitting the gym on a regular basis.

We really don't need to go into the details of that boy or relationship because it's not important...but needless to say, I put my blogging on hold because my days really revolved around 'us' 'our schedules' and what 'we' were doing.

Once that ended, in normal fashion there was someone else. So naturally I never got back into blogging from the first time.

Finally I moved on from that boy and low and behold IT HAPPENED! I started writing again! Not only was I writing again, but I was feeling better about myself. I had been hitting the gym and lost 23 lbs since the last time I blogged about weight loss.

However...shortly after my last blog, yes, you guessed it, I met another boy.

Do you see a trend here?

I think I have a problem.

This is why i have bright shinny object syndrome. I get too distracted to easily.

But luckily for you all I have admitted I have a problem. I've heard that's the first step. And also luckily for you, I am not hanging out with the boy today. Therefore, you get a published blog based on my problem.

Does that mean I am addicted to boys? Is that my problem?

...at least they're cheaper than my shopping problem.

so determined.

I am currently sitting on my couch counting down the minutes to the kick off of the first USC football game of the year while munching on a chocolate peppermint stick luna bar.

mmmm...I know ya'll are jealous.

The truth is, I would kill for a cupcake or some ice cream. Both of which are in my apartment, unfortunately, but my will power and determination is keeping me from reaching for them.

My friends think I'm crazy because when I put my mind on something, I obsess about it. Just like Rachel Zoe obsesses over a dress for a client, I obsess on my goals and crazy ideas.

This time I decided it was time for me to get in better shape...again.
Hmmm, I feel like I have written this before.

I have hit the gym almost everyday for the past week. Getting back in a routine and really feeling better about myself.

Except today, I missed the gym, BECAUSE I'M SICK.

This is the worlds way of saying that it does not like my strict diet or my exercise regiment.

For the last 5 days I have consumed 1350 calories or less. And to keep track of this I have created a food journal.

This is where my obsessing comes in.
I measure things, weigh things, google nutritional information, downloaded the calorie count app from the calorie counter website, created an online profile on their site, etc...

SEE...OBSESSED.

But I am determined to reach my goal and determined to get in better shape.

I do hope I do not have to write this blog again, for the 12th time saying that I must loose weight.

I have 3 driving forces.
1. Halloween. As everyone knows girls dress up as slutty _______. I haven't decided what I am going to dress up as yet, but I do know it will be a slutty version of something. I mean common, last year I was a slutty crayon. Anything is possible.
2. Ohio. There may be a possible trip to Northern KY/Ohio coming up the week before Halloween and I would really like to look smokin hot for that trip.
3. Yuba. It is getting close to the Holidays. We are in the months that end in -BER. So I must get myself in shape for my trip home.

So far things are going well. My goal is to continue to lose 1.5-2 lbs on a weekly basis.

I also decided that when I do reach my goal I want to donate my hair. Lose the weight, lose the hair. Time for a fresh start.

Wish me luck bloggers!

new year. new me. [in need of a new body]

Lets face it, most of EVERYONE'S new years resolutions is to lose weight. However, that is not mine. Mine was to keep my room clean and organized. And if anyone out there knows me, then you know what kind of challenge this may be.

However, I will say I wouldn't mind loosing a few pounds, or 30...

I used to be a total work out queen. I would go to the gym twice a day. Then go to work and eat macho nachos. For any Red Robiners out there...you know what I'm talking about. But I would STILL lose weight because of how much I worked out!

For a while I did weight watchers and was actually super successful. I wont lie, we are all friends here...but when I started weight watchers I was 189 lbs. Not my best years. I did weight watchers with a friend for only a few months, but it was great. I lost 26 lbs, dropped 2 pant sizes and felt great. I kept the weight off for about a year then gained about 10 back. I stayed at that size for about another year...and here I am today. In the need of a new body.

Generally when I lose weight it is for a goal of some sort. Not a weight goal, because that would just be too easy. When I was doing WW it was to always beat the girl I would go weigh in with. Before it was to wear a white dress to a specific graduation. And I am that girl that hangs a pair of jeans on her closet door and tries them on every day to see how close we are. Yes, I will admit, I have done that. But only for the great moment when all of a sudden...THEY BUTTON!

So this time around, I need something to keep me going. Now I have a wedding to go to in April...April 30th to be exact. And of course, I already have my dress and shoes. I bought the dress in November. Macy's was having a sale, don't judge. It fit a little snug...but then the holidays happened and I have been frightened to put it on ever since. I do think that will be my end goal.

Now I just need something to kick my ass and keep me in line. I was reading some other blogs and articles and thought, why don't I try quicktrim? I know, I know what you must be thinking...but the Kardashians did it...and with my hair, I'm like an honorary Kardashian [minus the ass of course].

I went online and was looking at the products.
1. They're really expensive
2. They're REALLY confusing

There are A LOT of different products. What do you use first? Which is good? What does Kim use?

Clearly not the cellulite gel that they have because she admitted to not be able to get rid of her cellulite...


Seeeeee look at all of those products! And yes I know, using them wont make me look like Kim, that is NOT my goal...more like Khloe [trannys gotta stick together as my friend John Guzman would say]

The QT products also have very mixed reviews. People either give them one star, or five. Nothing in between.

I'm a little sketch on them and not exactly sure what to do. But I am a hot tranny mess just like Khloe and if I can lose 30 lbs with these magical purple pills, two a day workouts, a gallon of water a day, and no starbucks...then I'm in!



I will keep you all posted as to what I decide!
I know it's expensive $49.99 for 14 days. But if I can't have additional caffeine while on 'the purple pill' it will save me approx $56 from starbucks...so it's almost the same ;)
