Day 5: Halloween Candy-Free Zone

I have lots of work to do tonight, because tomorrow is my weekly 3 Percenters Meeting. We all make goals every week (one spiritual, one health, one charity, and then other life goals) and we commit to completing it by the next week. We bring proof and brainstorm how to help us each reach our full potential and bring in a motivational reading. The people in the group that don't reach their goals have to buy completers coffee. :)

It's fun. My health goal this week was to log all my food 5/7 days. Thanks to the group shred I'm 7 for 7. I've got some business to finish so I don't have to buy coffee. It can get kind of pricey, because a lot of time nearly everybody completes their goals. :)

Rest day for my back exercise today. I did get in my wall push-ups and my stretching. I've got to keep working on my range of motion to avoid re-injury.

WW points today: I ate 23 points. I have 28.5 Flex points still available. Yay! I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night so I'll need to use some. They reset after Sunday, so everything is going according to plan.

The great thing about being single: NO HALLOWEEN CANDY. I live near Universal Studios on the area of Ventura Blvd. that is full of shops in a tucked away building between a cafe and public storage. So I knew there would be no trick or treaters so no reason to buy candy. I'm saving money and calories. I love this apartment.

Day 4: Feeling Skinny

You ever just feel skinny?

It's like those days where I feel fat and nothing fits right and I feel icky but the EXACT opposite. Even though I may weigh just a fraction of a pound lighter than I did last week, I felt skinny today. When I'm eating right and taking care of myself I spend a few extra seconds on my makeup. I walk a little bouncier. I smile even more. Overall, I feel happy. Days like today it's easy to make the right choices. I just love em when they come around. I'm sure the Group Shred is the reason. (There are those OTHER days, but who needs to think about that right now.)

I did some cardio, and I'm getting ready to do my core and back exercises and stayed on my WW Plan. I'm falling a little behind on hitting everybody's blogs, but I'll just keep going down the list and doing my best.

Today I used 21.5 points and have 26 Flex point remaining. Happy Day 4 everybody.


PS You were right Lynda SoCal = Southern California.

Day 3: On the go, but still on plan

Busy day today. I'm exhausted so I'm going to take a little nap, and then hit the blogs. I think I've got it down to hitting half the list one day and the other half the next. So if I missed you yesterday, I'll be checking in on you today.

The greatest thing about SoCal is there's always something healthy on the menu to order. So far today I've eaten 19.5 points, I have 1.5 more to eat and still have 29 points flex points left for the week, which is cool, because there's a yogurt in the fridge that I'm saving for dessert.

I had to eat one of those frozen dinners because I was in a hurry, but what I love to do is when it has sauce (like this had tomato sauce, because it was ravioli), I add extra vegetables to the dish. It makes it feel like more, and I get another fruit & veggie serving in, because I try to hit 5 or 6 of those a day.

HAPPY DAY 3!

Day 2: The Group Shred Continues

Happy Day 2 Everyone!

I've been working on my back and core exercises from my physical therapist, wall push-ups and walking. Plus, for those of you familiar with Weight Watchers, I'm staying within my points. Yesterday I used 22 points. Today I've used 26 points. My remaining flex points for the week is 29.

I haven't been able to find my swimsuit and my extra contact lenses since I came back from the Philippines. They've got to be somewhere. Yesterday, I weight myself 162.5 and 37% body fat on my Tanita scale. I don't know how accurate that scale is, but it will be relative to itself. I don't have a tape measure, but I may pick one up tomorrow and just compare for the rest of the shred. The most important part is to focus on eating clean and shredding hard.

For anyone in the Los Angeles area or will be I'm co-producing and hosting a weekly stand-up comedy show in Beverly Hills at the Roxubury Cafe beginning January 8th. Naturally I'll plug it when it's sooner.

What a difference a year makes! Happy Day One of 14!

Last year my goal was to ditch my walker and get my own coffee and now I walk around pain free for days and days. Everything is possible with a lot of grace, gratitude, and support. I'm dedicated to eating clean and shredding hard these next fourteen days. I'm kick-starting an 18 week life plan that includes my business. But I am not sure with my hectic life how much daily accountability I can handle after these 14 days. But the slogan "One day at a time" (a slogan that has saved and turned around my entire life) comes to mind.

Happy Day One EVERBODY!!!

My goal is to visit four blogs a day and provide support. I will get around to wish everyone well before the end of the 14 days is up. (and update my blogroll)

No hoodie! Boo. Group Shred YAY!

The photo shoot was on a white backdrop so they said the white RTP hoodie wouldn't work. It was fun anyway. I'll tell everyone when it's out.

It's GROUP SHRED TIME.

I can't believe it's been a year. So many things have changed. I can feel that old excitement. :)

Attn: Kroger's Grocery Stores Shoppers

A pick of me and might be featured in the New Year's Resolutions of the Krogers supplements. It quickly mentions how I lost 25lbs this year and made my New Year's Resolution to lose weight, but want to lose 30 next year. (or sooner)

The photographer may come by as soon as Thursday, I'm going to try to take it wearing my RTP hoodie if they'll let me. :)

Quick Post

I wrote this short film. We just submitted it to Slamdance. Also, the back of my head is in it and I say "Hey."
