Retiring...

Wondered where I've been? Welp - as much as I hate to do this...I am retiring this blog. I know, I know that is soooo silly and uncool. But, It just has a little too much baggage and information that I would rather people I don't know see. Understandable? Yep. So the growing pains have to stop sometime.

I do have a wonderful surprise for you...a NEW blog...with better attitude and better for me to just move on from the last few years that this blog has helped me overcome. Wanna look? Ok here it is...http://myfrizzlefrazz.blogspot.com/

P.S. I did transport a few of the makeover posts from here to there...so don't be alarmed. Catcha there :)

Mini Vaca Time

Time to pack. I'm headed South this weekend! I am very excited to spend time with the fam - plus it has been years since I've been. My suitcase is entirely to large for just several days...but I like to have options or items on reserve.

The official Biggest Loser was today. I am down 1.4lbs this week. Hardly in first - but still better than gaining. Next week should be a little better because I will feel like running!

Does food ever tempt you? I get home to a delicious meal cooked by my brother and his guy friends. I was super-proud. Stuffed porkchops (insides included sausage and cheese), rolls, rice, and corn casserole! Yum! I only had 3 bites of the corn casserole and a porkchop. Somewhat low-carb and that's the goal!

All is well in this country song of a life of mine! Be back next week!

My shoe obsession gets worse every day. My new fav store to stalk is Shi. Some of the styles are a little outrageous - but I still love to go in and try on every, single pair of heels in the place. Lookie!

Candid Picutre Moment

I was organizing my pictures into seperate folders for ease of use and look what I stumbled upon this jewel. I've said before that my house is like a barn...and here is a little proof. Some of my brother's frinds decided to crash. Guess they had enough and just plopped somewhere without any second thought. That night I just HAD to snap this candid moment. We have 3 couches and there was no one on the others. Thankfully they are thoughtful enough to try to leave room for others. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a good laugh. Oh, and I love the "bling" shinning in the picture. Haha.

Low Carb

It's amazing how creative I become when doing a low-carb diet. Instead of settling for a hamburger patty topped with cheese, a masterpiece was created. Well, maybe not a 'masterpiece' but something yummy. Keep in mind that the fridge and pantry are always empty as well.

Dish name: "Thank God I'm Not Watching My Calories"

Ingredients: Scrambled hamburger meat, veg-all (however much you like), slices of onion, chili powder, salt, pepper, sour cream, topped with cheese!

My sickness symptoms has now moved in my respirtory system. It's not real bad - but I can tell it's there. Nothing Mucinex isn't helping with. So, going to the track tonight was out of the question. Plus it's entirely too hot outside. Instead, I am going to clean house, begin packing for this weekend, research student loans, and go to bed early. Hey, at least I'm still being productive.

Update on the Bigest Loser Contest: Wednesday will be the official weight in - but so far I've only lost 1lb. Puft. That stinks!

Poop

I feel like poop. My nose and lungs are achy. I am not out for the count...but I could certainly be better. I have no energy and keep sniffing. So much for keeping up with my running schedule! My symptoms keep going from one thing to another. When is this going to get better?! And truly I would like to know what "this" is.

I plan on getting in bed in about 15 minutes. It will be at about 8:30. Rest is good when you aren't feeling well - so I guess I will try this angle.....

Shoooping!

Me and my cousin had a fun day of shopping - and looking at wedding dresses. We found the best one for her. She will pick it up tomorrow. I also bought 2 super-cutise shirts from Express! I did splurge a little bit...but it is worth it.

Question: Is it real? haha.

Wow. How long has it been since you have watched Saturday Night Live? It's been YEARS for me. I am watching a re-run and thinking that I would do some naughty things for a bag of popcorn (ok, maybe not 'naughty, naughty'). Since I am on a diet and we are out of snacks...I am having to settle for a sugar-free snack pack.
