Despite my not as consistent posts, my eating is definitely a lot better. Although, I am eager to have a little treat come Wednesday. It's the last three days of National Novel Writing Month, and I have 19,000 words to hit my 50,000 word goal. The good news is that my chronic infection is practically gone, and it is very likely I'll be in the gym come Dec. 1st. Everything is coming together. I

Yikes! This is not a good start regarding my blogging for this mission, but oddly just being on "the mission" has kept my eating in check. I had planned to make Wednesdays my "free days," I was thinking I would wait until the second week of the mission to start that. UM! My brain heard Wednesday is the free day, and I had some treats and by treats I mean a Snickers Bar and two extra slices of

I have to admit I am a bit ill-prepared for this mission. I'm having outfit issues. I only have sweat pants to work out in, but I'm sure I have a least a pair of shorts around here somewhere to take a photo. But, I will say that starting this mission has already made a difference in my diet. I've been watching my glycemic index and consumption of simple carbs as instructed to by my doctor. I got

Original shredder, SUZETTE, wrote to me on Facebook to let me know that it was a five years since our first "shredder mission." She came up with the great idea of doing a five-year anniversary shred. It's crazy. So much has happened in five years, and yet, here I am in the Philippines typing from the exact same room that I was in on the first mission. It's like it was meant to be!I'll take a

I'm back on track with my back and core building exercises and eating. My thank you notes site has been having 6,000 visitors a day lately, and I'm partnering with a company that will allow people to send out thank you notes from their computers. It's pretty neat, but time-consuming. Plus, I just signed up for NaMoWriMo, the write a novel in a month challenge. So my time is a bit limited. I hope

Things have been hectic and exciting, but I'm gonna focus hard and finish strong. Internet problems last night so this is up late. Hope everybody is doing great. I've gotta get around to all the blogs when I get home. I ate all my points last night. I think I'm negative -5 on the Flex points. Gotta catch up on putting everything into my web tracker. But my internet is so darn slow.

Those speeches were amazing tonight. I am so proud, happy, and hopeful about the future. I totally partied my ass off! Had an awesome time. History was made, and I am alive and part of it AND totally out of flex points. Looks like I'm eating a lot of spinach and mushrooms this week. SO worth it!

One week down! Congratulations everybody for doing such a great job.I'm so excited I stayed on plan this week despite things getting pretty busy. I ate 25.5 points today, and I wrapped up the week with 14 flex points to spare. So glad that the movie theater popcorn didn't set me back. The trick was no butter, and after the previews are over, I stop eating and just drink water. I get so involved

A very quicky post today. Did great on WW, but did have some movie theater popcorn. Haven't had a second to do the tally, but will add first thing in the morning. I've got to get to bed. Happy Day 6. It's almost been a week already. Wow!

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

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

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

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

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

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. :)

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. :)

Hey guys! I've been really busy, but still shredding hard. I was on CNN and Fox News and a few other news shows for a comedy show I did in LA. It later became a challenge segment on Last Comic Standing (I was edited out :( of that episode) and even parodied on Mad TV.I'm on a show biz mission to sell the show to tv and go on tour with show and visit your town!Here's what I'm working on:

Marty, one of the founding three percenters, told us a story he'd read in a book about a group of graduates. The top 3 percent who set goals for their careers turned out to be more successful than the other 97% combined or something like that. Hence the name.Had a great workout and walked 1.5 miles. I was ravenously HUNGRY today. I think it's because I've been working out hard with the weights.

It's so odd. Left to my own devices I don't drink as much caffeine if it's just not in the house. I just bought really good decaf coffee and have been too lazy to lug a 2 liter bottle of soda from the store. Since I walk to the store to get my food for the most part, if I get soda, I can't carry too much else. As a result, NO DIET COKE. I just have one or max two a day. Sometimes none. Here's the

I'm letting myself eat whatever I want and logging the time and my mood and seeing how much weight I gain or lose when left to my own devices. I'm not running off the rails, but I'm not trying to diet. I've been drinking a lot less caffeine lately, it's been cool. Plus, I'm very dedicated to keep a workout log. Having a grocery store that's Open 24 Hours within walking distance is so great! I

I'm going to be one of those people typing in coffee shops with free Wi-fi. Thanks to everybody for visiting my Otter Blog. I did get a walk in today, and I'm sure going up and down the very skinny staircase to bring some of my things up to my apartment must have burned something. :)More soon.

I went out with friends and we decided to walk down the street to get something to eat. I said I was going to walk, and other people asked to walk with me. I warned people in advance that I walk kind of slow, but as it turned out nobody noticed. When we walked back to our cars after dinner, which was about a mile down the road, I didn't even give my disclaimer again. I may have a bit of pain now

A cabillion years ago in the shreddersphere there was a push-up challenge. I could not do one. I've only recently been strong enough during this mission to do some light weight training. In all honesty, my legs kind of shake after I walk up stairs (but my new apartment is on the second floor, but that's gonna be a BIG help) and I can barely complete two reps of most of the upper body workout

Sorry about the dark photo. Too lazy to move my computer, I guess, but I just had to get this done. Hmm. I've got a lot of things going on, but sometimes when I have a lot on my plate I get a little overwhelmed and it gets hard to do anything. But I just do what I can and have faith that the rest will take care of itself. I'm reading a book by Russell Simmons (Def Comedy Jam, Def Jam Records).

I haven't gone to sleep in over 24 hours. I got a lead on an awesome apartment a few hours after I came home from the USO (6am), and I GOT IT! A great deal. A great neighborhood. Has parking. It's small, but I LOVE IT. And I move next week. Yippee! Edie and I went out to dinner to celebrate (chicken wings YIKES!), but I was too exhausted to cook dinner. Now I'm going to bed, which for me is late

I had to buy coffee at my our 3% meeting today (that's what Marty, Brett and I call our weekly career-life meetings). But that's okay. I switched up my goals this week to cut down on my overwhelmed factor. To use one of Joni's phrases from Mary Kay, "I've got a lot of life going on." It's all good stuff.So I'm going to break it down into doable chunks, do daily meditation, eat my meals more

My sister, Edie had a big gig at the Blue Ridge Pickin Parlor tonight. She's the fiddler for the bluegrass band, Murphy's Flaw. The Pickin Parlor is legendary and every seat was taken. It was a long drive but totally worth it.My eating is a little off. I try not to sweat that stuff too hard, because I live a no regrets life and just keep moving forward (but I do get bummed out from time to time,

I've got to do a LOT of walking before Saturday at 3pm, or I'm buying coffee for my friends Marty and Brett. Marty and I are still waiting for our first show date at the Hollywood Improv, but FREE SHREDDER TIX if anyone is visiting LA.Tonight my sister and I went to the Howard Hughes Center and got to see a really kickin' band Phat Cat Swinger. It was a super fun show.

In two weeks, I'll have my new apartment and be the fittest I've been in years. Jury duty did not go as expected in that I didn't go. I'll have to work that out tomorrow BUT Marty and I had our meeting at the Improv and we're getting a night to do a show. Now, the hard part about producing a show--butts in seats. :) I got in a quick mile today, and did a quick set in Culver City tonight.

My meeting with the Improv was moved to tomorrow, and magically my jury duty number has come up for the same day. We'll see how it all works out. Boo! Thumbs down on that whole deal. Plus, I have to be up in the morning YUCK! Great day today on the shredder front. I walked three miles. I'm committed to walking 15 miles by Saturday at 3 pm or I have to buy my friends Brett & Marty coffee. So far

I got in a 2.25 mile walk today. What's really cool is that my speed is picking up. It took only 45 minutes. I can't wait until I can walk 8 miles straight (at any speed). Then I can do the marathon training mileage chart I found. I wonder how many miles I'll be able to do on my long walk day. I've gotten up to 4.75 miles. I'm sure I can at least do 5 miles, but I wonder how much more I'll be

The shirt untucked in a weird way in my photo and totally makes my poochy tummy all the more poochy. Normally, I would take another photo, but I'm pressed for time.I'm so excited.

Wow! Time sure flies. I'll be honest, I weigh about 2-3 pounds more than when I started. I'm not worried about it. I'm feeling stronger and fitter than when I started and the rest will take care of itself. My eating has been sporadic as has my workout plan. Also, I've had to switch up my business efforts from content building to link building and learning more stuff. I'm not making excuses, but I

The house is low on fruits and veggies, but luckily I've got another box of organic fruits and vegetables being delivered tomorrow. I'm so excited. The convenience is amazing, and a box lasts about a week and half for the two of us (Edie and I) and costs less than two takeaway meals.

Things are getting pretty excited. My business had it's biggest month last month so it's official, I'm looking for my own place. It's going to be so cool to not only be physically fit enough to not worry about living alone, but ALSO be financially fit to afford living alone, too. I'll be COMPLETELY debt free by August 28th, and the great thing about that is that the current debt I have is on a 0%

I watched the amazing Wimbledon final with Nadal and Federer and was just so inspired. They were so fit they were hitting incredible winners even in the last game in the last set of the longest final in Wimbledon history. I just loved it.I kept imagining to myself, "What if I were so fit that no matter what I was doing, I could just focus on the task at hand without having so much of my energy

I walked three miles today even though I was only scheduled for 2. I think I've got a great shot at 4 miles on Friday, but I'll be super careful. Weight training tomorrow. It would be way cool if I could do two sets of everything, but all I've got to do is keep up my best, be patient and my body will grow healthy and stronger before I know it.I was on a day schedule today, which was kind of cool.

It's volunteer night. Got to get my strength training in when I get home before bed. This week I'm increasing my mileage. 2/2/3.5 (possibly 4), but we'll see. The glare from my flash and the window obscured the painting of Bob Hope. So just know there's Bob Hope in the background. :)

My shift at the USO was super busy last night. I was on my feet in the kitchen all night, and my back is sore. But I was able to STAND (which is oddly harder than walking) for nearly the entire four hours which was a victory. I wasn't up to walking today and had a lot of commitments to keep, so tomorrow will have to be my long walk day. So tired. More later.Hope everyone is having great weekend.

Yesterday I did an extra 1.5 miles and my strength training so I took a rest today. Tomorrow is my BIG WALK day. I'm going to do three miles or maybe 3.5, but I'll check really carefully. I'm a little sore today, but actually very excited about the soreness being in the actual muscles that I was working out instead of my back. I had the greatest organic zucchini with dinner.

I did 1 1/2 sets (2 sets of push-ups and bicep curls though, and a not quite 1/2 a set of those pesky dips) of all my upper body exercises WITHOUT any weird spasms or shooting pain. I'm hurting, but no numbness or anything weird. I started off doing two sets of the first exercise and could feel it was too much, so I went with one and half, but when I felt like I had a little extra at the end I

Today was my 1.5 mile day again. Tomorrow will be my 3 mile day. Then Sat. Rest Day.Next week I'll try 2-2-4. We'll see if I can hit that four. I haven't been able to get passed three miles in one walk without hurting. But I'm doing the gradual thing and taking rest days so we'll see.

I thought I'd do something different a post a pic of me at the USO. I'm picking up an extra shift this Friday, because they're short a volunteer. That's another PRW to stay fit and healthy enough to be of service. Still gotta get my strength training in today, luckily for me I'll be up for another eight hours. :)

PRW Day was awesome. I'm still catching up on everybody's powerful reasons why. It's really motivating. I forgot to take my pic before I got ready for bed so it's baggy pajamas today, but I didn't stay in the them all day.I've been thinking about my goals and my life and doing more research about it. I've been reading about training to walk marathon, and in order to begin the ideal 19-week

A good friend of mine's father died this year, and we spent a lot of time on the phone last night and today. I kind of remember what that first Father's day was like. To borrow a phrase that my friends use often, it was nice to be of service. I hope all shredder Dads and

Busy driving all over town and attempting to help with my friend, Milda's movie. Basically, my only success was picking up lunch for everybody, but that's show business. It was nice to see things come together, and I managed to get a mile of walking in hunting around the local shops for props. Today I'm grateful I got to:• Eat FOUR servings of fruits and veggies• Drink Four glasses of water• Walk

to the races!! Literally. I was at the Hollywood Park Racetrack & Casino tonight and came out a winner. An by an entire $2.20! Way to go Number 3 in the 7th! Then I was off to pitch into a brainstorming session for my friends Brett and Milda, who are entering the 48 Hour Film Festival. The plot was already set, so I didn't get to contribute as much as usually would, but it's always fun to be

I may have overdone it in my first week, and I kind of "paid" for it in week two. But I haven't done anything too drastic so I'll search for a middle ground in week three. I'll hit my 20/20 goal in no time. I REALLY need to be careful to avoid injury as I have no health insurance and financially speaking I'm not on the most solid ground--no room to go to expensive physical therapists and

Man, did I need to SLEEP. I slept all day, (had the USO last night until 6am again), read up on some new stuff I need to know for my business, and cooked a nice dinner for me and my sister. I spent the ENTIRE day in my pajamas. Ahh. One day in pajamas is a luxury. Two days in pajamas EQUALS depression. So, I'm making a point to get in some walking tomorrow even if it means walking really, s-l-o--

I had a shift last night and some other volunteer work today, and I get another shift tonight. I walked a little bit, but not so much. But I'm feeling much better. No pages today.I'm grateful today I got to:• Eat FIVE servings of fruits and vegetables • Drink FOUR glasses of water• Went to USO• Walked 1/2 mile

I won't even complain about my little twingy pains when our dear shredder friend Dougal: Mind Body Superfit has really been tested physically. I'll just note that I walked only 1/2 a mile a day and really did my hip and lower back stretches, because the tightness and bad spasmy stuff is on the rise. There's nice sore and then there's sort of an uh-oh be careful sore. I've mistakenly ignored the

I've got a show this afternoon, a dinner, and then an art show later so I might not get to my blog before midnight. This photo is here just in case. I'll go back and merge it proper late tongiht or tmorrow.

I had to take a rest day from my workouts. I had some twingy,achy stuff happening. I'm not going to injure myself again. I'm sure it'll be fine by tomorrow. Just being safe. I'm feeling good. I got FOUR pages up today. I'm going to treat myself with new pants at the end of this mission. In the meantime, I borrowed an old pair of my sister's jeans. They're not tight, but not the kind of cut I like

Wow. A week can really go by fast. Eight more to go. I'm really excited about this plan. There's lots of room for improvement, but I set really ambitious targets and have gotten way more done than I have ever gotten done before. The most mileage I've ever walked in a week until now was just six miles.This week I walked 15.85 miles and I put up 11 pages. I would have considered it a big week on my

I'm pretty sore so I needed to take a break from walking and working out. I've got to make sure not to reinjure myself, but I'm feeling pretty great about this week. I turned up the heat on my web page building though and put five pages up. I'm still working though. So I'm gonna keep at it to hit my weekly goal. My week starts on Friday so tomorrow is the last day of my week. More later.

I'm actually sore. My legs and feet mostly. Ouch. Pretty soon my arms will be sore, too thanks to my new strength trainging. woo-woo.I've been researching and writing so I haven't posted ANY pages. Tomorrow is going to have to be a BIG day to meet my 20/20 goal. Although, my daily advertising revenue jumped yesterday by over 30%! Today has been my BIGGEST earnings day for advertising ever.

I'll update in a few hours. I've got to nap before my shift at the USO, but in case I'm not up before midnight I didn't want to miss out on my accountability pics.Howdy! I'm writing from the USO! :) How cool is that? Michael and CK asked about my strength training.

I've got to get around to everybody's blogs, but I've got a lot going on right now. I haven't completely processed my feelings around being sad about my Dad, and living in "limbo" as far as my living situation. Plus dating stuff is coming up. It feels like the entire world is dividing up into couples, and I'm feeling a little lonely, which is dangerous, because I wouldn't mind a boyfriend, but I

Today is the start date for my new 20/20 Otter Vision Mission. Thanks to Rob, Lynda, Michael and Diane for suggesting great names for my first mission. I took kind of a combo of two. :)I had a big choice today. For feminine reasons the instructions on the fat caliper thingy said results wouldn't be accurate and I couldn't find my swimsuit for my day one pic. I could have postponed my start date

I'm enjoying my mini-break, but I keep doing all the stuff I was doing during the council candidacy, so that stuff is more or less a habit. I'm diggin' on the concept of a "break" anyway.

There's a lot of stuff, I'm working out about my business and my new apartment (which I need to get within the next month or so). I'm still a little drained from being sad. I did get a quick walk in and have been making a point to drink water and eat vegetables, which I know I wouldn't have done if not for the 95% compliance requirement.CONGRATULATIONS EVERYBODY.

My title is Woody Allen Quote. So today is about showing up and posting.I've been feeling sad this week. I'm prone to that kind of thing. Being depressed has fallen out of fashion these day, which is a shame. In the eighties it was kind of big and I'm so good at it.

My body fat caliper thingy came in the mail today. I'll measure at the start of the next mission, but I think I'll "practice doing it right a few times tomorrow. I gave a real "boy push-up" a try as inspired my Lynda's Blog: 130 On My Way.Lynda got three, but unfortunately, I did not fair as well--not even one. I'm not disappointed though. I'm really weak from all those months of being bedridden.

I've been a bit busy. I want to make this quick so I can get around to everybody's blog. My eating and walking is back on track. I have to wait until the heat dies down, but I don't mind walking when it's dark.

This heat is exhausting, although I did get a quick walk in just after sundown. I've been busy with family and business lately.My best friend in the whole world is getting married in June, and she just announced it, so I've been working extra hard to earn more money so I can go. Plus, my sister is having house guests come to visit here in August, so I'll need to be out of here by then. I could

I'm feeling a little better and took a short walk to get outside the apartment. Not leaving the house for four days kind of bums me out. I'm really glad, we've all committed to posting daily, because even on days where I think I would be more prone to just flake on my posts, I don't. Plus, I know I'm more "aware" of what I'm doing and more recently what I'm not doing. I haven't missed a posting
