• Whewwww

    Okay, commercial done. WHEWWWW!! You’ll be happy to hear I didn’t put my hands on my head. I stuttered thru a couple of takes and Trudi worked her magic and put them all together to make the winning video!? It will be if you’ll go vote for me on Monday! Did ya see how I just threw that right in there?! THAT was shameless!! (Here is the link, ohhhhh it’s just painful to watch myself talking about MYSELF!!) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Half-Year-Resolution/227962245163?ref=mf So I rewarded myself and I bought new shoes!! I bought a pair of Sketcher Shape-ups for walking. (DH can’t make a fuss over these….. because exercise shoes don’t count as real shoes!) I’ll let ya know what I think next week. I wore them on my walk with Kaki this morning and I didn’t feel any difference, but the video says you may be sore in your thighs and glutes the next day. Trust me you’ll hear about it if it’s true. Okay now you can go watch the after video. Here is the before picture to remind you where I was when the Half Year Resolution started on July 1st. (Do you think it’s lazy if I re-post this…

  • Need me sum prudy words….

      I may not have exercised this morning, but, I’m sure the hyper me runnin’ around like a crazy person burned a lot of calories. Now I need prudy words!  I’m taping my 60-second commercial at Channel 10 tomorrow. I need to dazzle and intrigue people to come read my blog and vote for me. So far I’ve ruled out begging Paaaaaaaaaaleeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeee for 60 seconds. I figure that MAY NOThave the desired effect, cause my voice will get all high pitched and nasaly…. naaa not a good idea. So…. words… I have to have words. I also need to figure out what to do with my arms. Don’t be surprised if in my little commercial my arms are over my head and “dream talk mumbling” is pouring out of my mouth. Oh it’ll be funny to you… entertaining even! But will it make strangers vote for me?!? Probably not. So, other than the whole words thing…… I’m ready. Dani at The Loft Hair Design in Escondido cut and styled my (very cute, if I don’t mind saying so myself!) hair. My outfit is picked out. My toes are painted… I’m ready!! Except ya know…. for the words thing. See ya…

  • Okay… so… I was thinking…..

    It’s been a long time since I’ve thanked you for reading my blog. I try not to write sad and depressing blogs but I did tonight. (Yes, you should TURN AWAY!! Turn away!!) But it’s important that you know I appreciate you. I am a very lucky girl to have you all in my corner!! I really think that with all the stress going on in my life this year had it not been for the Channel 10 Half Year Resolution and this blog I would be at least 30 pounds heavier instead of almost 30 pound lighter. From the small stuff like moving my Mom in with us. To the big things like, grieving over the loss of my younger brother who on Christmas Eve 2008 lost his battle with cancer. (How long do you suppose it takes before I can go a whole 24 hours without crying?) I can’t believe it’s almost been a whole year without him and almost 3 years since my younger sister died. (I’m seriously contemplating becoming a hermit in a year.) Starting with my father it’s been a funeral every 2 years!! Soooo I’ll need one’aya to drop off junk food when I…

  • UGH!

      Just sort of UGH today!! Have you ever just woke up sad? No reason. Nothing bad has happened. I just am having a sad. I want JUNK FOOD! I want mass amounts of chocolate. AND potato chips!! I want to curl up in bed. I want a good book. Hot cocoa (with tiny little marshmallows AND whip cream). Congratulations to Dan and Heather who are in Las Vegas with my daughter Selena. They ran the Rock and Roll half marathon today. Dan finished with 2 hours 46 minutes. Heather finished with 2 hours 20 minutes. HOLY MOLY! That exhausts me just THINKING about running that far. I mean REALLY!?! Running that far… and no one is chasing me with a hatchet? … I don’t think so. So now I’m off to do a Jillian Michael’s DVD work out. Since I DO plan to have a hot cocoa with little bitty marshmallows with my dinner. Ohhh I had to come back and beg for votes again!! Whew… that was a close one! Thank you so much for voting!!!!!!!!!! I’ve heard from several people that my links are cutting off the voting box on the left hand side. So if that…
