A sad day in Hollywood.

Today was a sad day and marked the end of an era. The epitome of woman: strong, courageous, and covered in diamonds.
A true icon in her time, her star will forever shine. Rest in Peace Elizabeth Taylor.

Loss of a Legend

Woohoo!!

Not to get ahead of myself but I'm down to 139.1 today. Need to step up my cardio and I might be alright. I also pick up Aaron from the airport in Wichita Falls. I haven't seen him since January! Lots to do before he gets here so I guess I better hit the ground running!

Wild Ride...

Okay so spring break was last week and there was lots of fun to be had, but now it's back to business.  I started my "diet" today and really hope to see results.  I'm trying to eat right and exercise. It's 10:45pm and I'm cramming for a Macro final and I'm starving.  I think I've mentioned before that I stress eat and now is the time for a Taco Casa burrito! But instead I gnawed on carrots and water. Boo. Oh well, I've distracted myself long enough.

Current weight: 141.2

Things that make you go hmmm...

I just realized that while I was typing my latest blog entry about weight loss...I was making lunch plans that consisted of Mexican food with my mom and grandma.  Hmmm?

FAT BURNER!!!

Okay so scratch that 20lbs in no specific time frame...Lots of big events coming up:
I'm working on a show in Vegas in May (approx 60 days from now!) and I have to get this fat off of me! The healthiest way possible of course, no crash dieting here. Oh and not to mention it's my other half's BIG 3-0! And on top of all that, one of my best friends is getting married in June!

Between school and pre-production for this show I'm eating myself into an abyss. Pretty sure I'm gaining rather than losing! Maybe I should try out one of those food journal things? That would probably just depress me and I would eat more...oh well. Here goes nothing.

Fallen off the wagon...

Okay guys I've really fallen off the wagon, but I'm making a late resolution to be back! Blogging holds me accountable and I'm ready.  I've moved to Texas to be with  my family for a little while.  Since my last blog I lost my uncle, basically my father.  And it has been a rough road but my family is strong and we can get through anything.  Hopefully blogging can be my therapy so I don't have to pay someone to listen to my problems. Hehehe.  I'm in school now and taking a HUGE load.  16 units can be a little overwhelming at times but I know I can do it.  Not to mention I'm trying to loose weight too! Ugh. 

Anyway my goal is to lose 20lbs, no specific time frame.  So now that I'm blogging again I'll use my motivation from my buddy Geoff and just track it on here.  I'm going to weight right now...

Okay so I'll weigh in the morning, you're never supposed to weigh at night anyway right? :-P

This is an update for Wednesday (Day 2) and Thursday (Day 3)...

Wednesday 7:00am
I woke up and realized that I only finished half my liter from the previous night...CRAP! My only source of nourishment and here I am leaving half of it on the bed.  I don't feel risque enough to try my chances with the salt water flush this morning.  Let's just see how today moves along.

7:45am
Just finished making my first liter of the day.  It's actually quite a welcoming taste this morning.  That's a pleasant surprise.  I think my body will take anything that provides sustenance and keeps me  moving at this point.

11:15am
Getting really hungry! My boss (who isn't aware of my cleanse)  just asked me to go pick up his food for him because he has back to back meetings again =(.  BE STRONG GINA! YOU CAN DO THIS!.

1:30pm
Got my boss' food without trying to gnaw my arm off (thanks Aaron.)  For my lunch, Aaron and I walked around in Barnes and Noble to waste time and not think about food and now I'm back at work.  I'm mixing up my second liter, woohoo!  I think I'm starving to death at this point.  Hunger tends to come in waves, as do my moments of weakness.  Hopefully if I chug some of this I will be able to fight off the evil monster that continues to eat away at my self control!

4:00pm
Almost 2/3 of the way done with liter #2 (HOORAY!) Today has actually been quite easy compared to day one.  I think the caffeine withdrawals have began to subside and now I'm on an upward climb.  I still have a bit of energy left in  me and my mood has managed to stay somewhat delightful.

9:00pm
Finished liter #3, watched GLEE and now off to slumberland.  Cheers!

Thursday 7:00am
Mixed my "Salt Water Flush" this morning, GAG!!! It tasted like I just gulped 32oz of the Pacific Ocean...VOLUNTARILY! 

8:00am
Not going into details, but haven't gone far from the bathroom for the last hour.  And I don't think it's even close to over. @_@

9:00am
At work, doing well.  Mixed my first liter for the day and I have a fairly positive outlook.  Here goes nothing!
