I feel like its been so much longer than ….33 days. I honestly thought I hadn't posted anything, substantial or not, in like 3 months. I have so many thoughts and ideas and whatnots to say to you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets start with the most recent. I became a <a href="http://www.beachbodycoach.com/chelsearaylynnwhite" target="_blank">Beachbody Coach</a> today. I'm not in shape and I'm not skinny. I'm actually quite the opposite and those things almost held me back but ya know what?! I just don't care. There's absolutely no reason I can't help others while going through my own journey. If anything, it's going to force me to be more accountable. I don't want to be one of those "Yeah! These products really work!" people when I'm sitting on the couch and actually have no idea if they work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also started Focus T25 then got interrupted, then planned on starting again this week, then got derailed again. However! Next week, no excuses. Its on. The first and only week I was able to do it I lost 7 inches and 5 pounds. That's pretty amazing in my book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made some financial decisions. I'm going to be completely out debt by the times I'm 30. {I'm currently 24} I don't know if its realistic but I don't care. I'm doing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also decided I'm going be a millionaire someday in my life even if I'm 73. So theres that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What else, what else…OH! I bought some <span style="color: #a64d79;">Himalayan Pink Sea Salt</span>. Ever hear of it? Go buy some. It's rad. I used it to make dark chocolate, sated caramel cookies. Yes, they are as bad for you as they sound. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My kitten got fixed and declawed so thats done. No more torn up carpet. {She scratched the carpet more than furniture. Weird I know.} In the process I found <b>THE BEST</b> litter in the world.. I'm so impressed I might actually do a review of it just because I think the world needs to know. How do people get paid for reviews? Meh. Maybe one day….probably not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took a couple trips down to California. Taught my "nieces" all about 90's pop and 90's music videos. I now here 1 of them sings the Barbie song from Aqua while brushing her teeth so….WIN. Decided I need to move there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I think thats all for now!! So it was nice to see everyone. {er….talk to/write to everyone?} I will see you again someday. Hopefully sooner rather than later. </span><br />

Because I just don't. I watch the Super Bowl but I get so bored watching football on TV. Live football is another story. I love live football. So this game that just happened, Seahawks vs. 49ers. I was (apparently) rooting for the Seahawks. Thats how much I care. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I actually spent the first hour of the game deep frying things with a friend. We deep fried all the veggies, then we did oreo's, twinkies, reese's, snickers, then it got weird and we deep fried a PB&J, and birthday cake. I feel like a grease trap that needs cleaned out so I'm drowning myself in water. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think I handle pressure well. Stressing about things doesn't get the job done any faster. Why would you want to fall apart? What good does that do anyone? Just get it together and get the job done. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If I do my Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred for 2 weeks straight, not missing even a single day, she will buy <strike>me</strike> the Shaun T's T25! I didn't think I could do it, then I watched some videos and knew I could. I'm so excited!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have any of you done the T25? It looks intense but I can't wait.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01554778955551186565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108520617391543059.post-91795782777305495222014-01-14T20:32:00.000-08:002014-01-14T20:32:01.022-08:00Skin Care Regiment<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Topic 2 for the 2014 blogger challenge is about your skin care routine. Well, I don't really have <i>routine</i> per say, it more like a bunch of junk I use sometimes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First would be my face washing routine. I only wash my face in the shower. I hate washing my face in the sink. The water runs down your arms, all over the counter, etc. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I'm not sure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anywhosels, my facewash(es)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, I use the L'Oreal, Anti-Breakout cleanser. Then, because I don't like how it leaves my face feeling, I use the Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. I feel like they both do 2 different things and my face is a nutcase so any help I can get in keeping it under control is great. The Clean & Clear I use to take my makeup off. It works excellently. Taking my make-up off is literally the <i>only </i>thing I use it for. Mostly my Mascara.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Next, if I do have a breakout I use the Clean & Clear Acne Spot Treatment. I can see a change in 1 day. Its miraculous.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The L'Oreal Hydra-Renewal. It works decently. It doesn't leave my face oily or anything. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So my skin care regiment isn't anything miraculous or time consuming or expensive. Just some basic stuff that I buy at Walmeezy.</span></div>

I'm doing the same thing I did yesterday. Judge me. But when I find a good tip or recipe I can't help but share it. Me and my mom are eating clean and she wanted stir fry so I searched for clean stir fry and I found it and it was glorious!!!!! So I'm linking <a href="http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/chicken-almond-stir-fry-3/" target="_blank">Leigh Ann's blog Your Homebased Mom.</a> The Chicken Almond Stir Fry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My modifications: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Added teriyaki stir fry noodles, minus the teriyaki seasoning.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No mushrooms.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Made half the batch since it was only for 2 people.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was seriously amazing. Go try it. Give Leigh Ann some major kudos while you're at it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This raises a lot of questions in my mind:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How is this (I like to call it) book beanstock supported?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How many books are in it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What books are in it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Did the artist keep track of titles, authors, number of books or just find a bunch of books and build?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How are they kept together? That metal railing looks close enough that people could still touch it/pull on it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How tall is it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How did they get it in there?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Does it get skinnier at the top or is it all the same size?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Is there a plaque or something that explains it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Where is it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Is it solid or hollow on the inside?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who built it?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Won't the pages turn yellow eventually?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Are the pages coated or something so that they <i>can't </i>turn yellow? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Were these all brand new books when it was built?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why so many books about Abraham Lincoln? I see at least 4 in this picture.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know these are all questions that I could <i style="font-weight: bold;">probably </i>google but I just want to know <i>right now</i>! Maybe I'll look these questions up someday and I'll come back and update this post with the answers. But not like…anytime soon...</span></div>

I'm ready for bed. My last few days have been pure crazy so I've slacked on the blogs. Apparently my body refuses to be a night owl AND a morning person at the same time. Eventually you crash. And I did. For a couple days. So now I'm writing 6? 8? blogs tonight. I've lost track. I have one more after this and I can sleep! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My birthday has always been shared with my Dad because his birthday is the day before mine so we just do one birthday party for us. Today we went to a buffet at the casino and then watched a show with the family. It was pretty cool. After I lost my $35 my Mom gave me her $9 she won off of $1 and I won $50. (Mind you I've only even won 1 other time. My family is <i><b>super</b> </i>unlucky.) So after I paid my mom back her money I came out $6 ahead for the night. I was pretty excited. I hope you all had a great Saturday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">…I just read this back to myself and I apologize. That was a whole lot of rambling about nothing. But there's no takesy-backseys. Mostly because I don't have the energy to make this post better. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That means that over 20 books are good enough to be stolen <i><b>consistently</b></i> and I've never even considered looking into them. That's craziness to me. </span></div>

Lets list them shall we:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blogher, January NaBloPoMo - Pressure</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another Girly Blog's 2014 Blogger Challenge</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">365 Challenge - Books</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saida Cane's Sweet Snap Challenge - Weekly when I feel like it</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So 4. Thats seems like a lot. Is that a lot? I'm not sure. I'm new to the blogging world. Whats a "<i>normal</i>" amount of challenges to do at once? My problem is I don't want to wait say a whole year to do different daily challenge so why not do it now. But then I find more and more challenges that I want to do. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What I'm saying is, I found another one I want to do. It's more of a reading challenge rather than a blogging challenge. However, I'm not sure of I want to do the Series Challenge, TBR (To Be Read) Challenge, etc. There are a ton of them. I know I want to do one of them. Now I have to decide which one. Whats one more challenge?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is no such thing. I do think there is however, such thing as a person who reads too little.</span></div>
