Notes:
Lovely day...woke up...cuddled till noon, had good work outs, got work done... went out with the girls... ran into Collin... went to an illegal bar after hours... danced a bit.. went to a new bar on mississippi and shaver that is awesome with 6 friends... had great conversations with Christine about death and being a nurse... Had a wonderfully social and awesome Saturday night. * New rule, Friday and Saturday nights are always welcome to be fun social nights no matter what projects or things I have due. The goal is to not drink so much during the week. Saving all the partying for the weekends make the weekends so much more fun and I am getting tons of work done. I feel very professional and responsible, and happy, and not deprived! This is the first time I really feel like this life change is working...cause it's not a get quick, deprive yourself type of plan. I do what I want, when I want and work this working out thing in...and I try to stay focused....
mmmmmmmmmm. Brunch tomorrow with the girls.
This bootcamp is changing my life for the better. I feel so happy, productive, and complete.
Thank you to my friend who inspired me to do this... I mean I really did have an ephiphany and came to this idea on my own, but it really does follow a lot of things you suggested..., even though you really just wanted me to live life day to day care free without the distractions of dating boys or anything. The difference is, I took your idea and ran with it in my own way, that is way better than anything that would work for you. Thank you for taking yourself out of the situation, because you really do distract me..You are kind of like my cryptonite and I have a hard time resisting wasting time with you. . So you stopping that, really helps. Thank you.
The end... tomorrow's sunday...my favorite day of the week!

Crab Eggs Benedict, potatos and fruit... courtesy Milo's City Cafe Thanks B!
Coffee
Orange juice
Lots of water

Ok so I may not have eaten the healthiest today but I didn't eat that much as you can see...and everything I ate was delicious!
Workout Early: Weights: Legs/Cleaning House
Workout Late: Ran 2.8 miles burned 300 calories Level 5 resistance
Stretched for 15 minutes
Alcohol: 1.5 glass of wine
Dates: 0 but lots of flirting...
Today was awesome... happy, good, fun, productive, exciting and great. I am SO EXCITED.... MY GOOD FRIEND HILARY GAVE ME A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE of like 5 button down shirts and 3 sweaters...SHE IS AMZING! I love ge3tting new clothes even if they are hand me downs! They are in great condition and they are free and I only have $60 to my name. So I feel REALLLY gooD...
Oh and I had my first day of having it be hard to go to the gym. I almost wanted to take a day off but I plowed through.
Oh and that thing I was upset about yesterday, I woke up thinking... "what the fuck was I even worried about? fuck him. fuck being upset about anything, I have the whole world at my finger tips. If someone sucks at communication, than that is their issue not mine. I do however feel good focusing even farther on myself and not even "pretending" to move backwards, which is what I was doing with him... pretending.
Sometimes I am prone to instant gratification and he was definitely that. Never had any intentions of getting back together with him, but was enjoying his company for the moment and it kind of turned on me when i least expected it... Meaning, I was getting comfortable with him being a big part of my life, even though it was different from before. I was starting to love seeing him many times a week, and when he took it away, I was kind of surprised, shocked, and hurt since it doesn't make sense for me to fix something that isn't broken. But I guess it was broken. Maybe I was hurting him, maybe I was being hurt by him... who knows? I don't really care now. Obviously I don't care if I am sad about something for a day and then I am over it.
The best way I can describe it, is that I really really really wanted to have a heart-to-heart with him, and i was determined to tell him some things that I really felt like I needed to get off my chest, and when he didn't want to see me, I kind of impulsively sought him out, trying to get him to meet with me for even an hour so I could tell him everything that was getting so pent up, and he wouldn't listen... I couldn't say the things I needed to say over the phone, so instead of telling him my true thoughts, i just had it all pent up.
he totally doesn't get it. I don't want to pre-occupy his time. While he was away, I had this epiphany about him and I couldn't wait to see him to tell him... these were wonderfully exciting, intersting, and fun revelations I had about him and about our situation, and he came home from his trip and wouldn't see me. So I had it all boiling... and then the whole fucking thing blew up in my face. I guess he'll never know now what I had so deseperately wanted to say... It's sad, it would have been a beautiful moment that hopefully would have made us good friends forever, now it's past and i don't care if I ever see him again. I know I will. I know we'll be friends, but if I don't, he'll just be a good fleeting memory like the rest.

So I guess I have been inspiring some of my friends to join this whole hardcore bootcamp thing. One friend is doing yoga 3 days a week, cause I inspired him somewhat! Sweet.
Early Workout: Noon, Ran 2.3 miles
Late Workout: 1 hour of yoga... wonderful, lovely, amazing yoga...
Ate:
Leftover 1/2 of ham cheese panini vegan from tube
Banana
Lots of nuts and dried fruit
Leftover garlic vodka chicken
eel sushi
wasabi peas
Alcohoic beverages: 0
Dates: 0
I'm done with loving people who don't want to be with me Someone told me that this is what I do, and it crushed me. It is a really hard thing to hear from someone what they see in you, and have it be terrible, and have it be the truth...
It is a part of this whole bootcamp thing is to ween myself off of this terrible habit.. It makes me crazy. It would make any sane person crazy.
Nothing drives me more crazy than someone who I have known for a long time, who I have had relations with for a long time... who decides to "take time away" from me, when everything seems to be fun and fine... but fails to tell me this, and just does so by ignoring me.
That isn't really a mature way to handle things...the mature way to handle things is to say to the person up front " i need time a way from you...here is why....etc." Just ignoring me after multiple attempts of me trying to contact them is a very passive aggressive way of stating something that could be much sweeter said: honestly and upfront.
Because honestly it takes a while to figure out that the person is actually "ignoring" you instead of just busy or not available...and then it makes me look like I'm being neurotic by trying to figure it out.
ugh i hate people sometimes.

OH and here was the best part!!!!!!! I went to TUBE happy hour and at healthy vegan food and drank a big orange juice... didn't even take a sip of alcohol. It was fun... I had a great time with friends and didn't even care that I wasn't drinking. What's even weirder is I kind of felt drunk just being in the bar, almost had to second guess myself as I was getting in the car, and then I remembered... i didn't drink! haha!

I'm giving myself a challenge... After long conversations with close friends, I have come to a serious conclusion. I drink too much, I am way too boy crazy, and I need to focus on fixing my life. I will try to focus on becoming a healthier, more well rounded person who will become successful by not focusing on things that are not benefitting my life...
According to one of my best friends, I would be extremely successful and much more likely to have a meaningful relationship with someone if I focused half as much on myself as I do on partying and boys. I have been making very bad decisions lately, and one of them is that I have a terrible habit of drinking and driving.
This could kill someone, including myself, and potentially ruin my life, so instead of waiting for one of the previous to happen, I am trying to fix possible regrets before I encounter something horrible. I believe that excessive drinking and dating is a form of escapism that is also a weird form of self hate and procrastination, and I'm pretty much ready to make a big change now. I love myself. It's stupid to ruin my life over these bad decisions I keep making!
So what a better way than to keep a journal on here with the encouragement of my friends to 1.) hold me accountable, and 2.) see my progress and give me words of encouragement.
Here are the rules for 6 weeks: So on October 30th is the day that I can call it quits if my life hasn't drastically improved. If I make it to October 30th, without cheating I will reward myself with a pedicure, a massage, and a facial. I am trying to make this "diet" realistic because I want it to really become a lifestyle change and I want to do something that I can continue doing without feeling "too deprived" otherwise I'll cheat and quit. The only thing that may change is after 6 weeks, I'll go to working out once a day instead of twice a day, and if I start seeing someone I actually like, I might see them more often than once a week, but only after Oct 30th!
Rule 1: Work out Twice a Day once in the morning, once in the evening, with either of the following things Pilates, Elliptical Training, Aqua Aerobics, Hip Hop Dancing. The only day off I have is Sunday. I have programmed reminders in my phone.
Rule 2: One night of drinking a week, wine is the only alcohol I can drink, and I must either take a cab home, or have a designated driver for anything over 2 drinks...
Rule 3: No more than 1 date a week/ and this includes even just hanging out a boy I am interested in...just cause right now I'm averaging 3-5 nights either hanging out with, or going on dates.. It's fun, but its very distracting. And my business is suffering because I'm always out having too much fun.
Rule 4: No eating after 9pm
Rule 5: I'm giving up mochas, and exchanging for house coffee to save money and calories
Rule 6: Try to avoid breads and sugars, but basically I can eat whatever I want as long as each meal has a carb and a protein each the size of the palm of my hand together, lots of fruits and veggies and water, and attempt as much as possible to eat at least 6 small meals a day.. and 8 glasses of water
Now I'm going to try to keep a journal on here everyday on what things I did... And what things I need from you, my friends, is please give me other ideas for "rewards" to keep me motivated if I can make it to October 30th... And if you want to offer anything, well that will just help even more! Ha!
Thanks for reading. Thanks for the encouragement in advance

God, I had such a weird day yesterday.
Well first off I have a shit ton things to do, and I find all these ways to procrastinate the inevitable. I am currently working on a flash site, myspacing people for pizza place, correcting a menu for the 245th time, trying to get my car fixed, pick up a flash file from a friend and somehow have time to get my haircut, eat some sushi, dork out with friends online and then take a nap, watch some oprah...y'know the usual.
Well yesterday, I was supposed to pick up a friend who was giving me the flash file, and on the way to his house I was talking on the phone, put it in my drink holder, which unknowingly had like 2 inches of water in it, so the phone started ringing.. I went ot pick it up and it was completely drenched in water... My $350 sidekick2 was ruined and I had no way to get ahold of my friend to get the directions since they were on my text messaging part of my phone. I drove around for a long time almost got in a head on collision as I was dealing with the phone situation I was very close to hitting a car coming head on. This is the second almost accident I have had in two days. Then when I got out of the car, I almost got hit by a car while walking across the street...Then Last night some stupid lady ran a red light and almost hit me. I am starting to think that I am a car magnet.
...decided to go to the mall and pick up a Sidekick 3....Kinda left the poor friend stranded... until I could get to the Tmobile kiosk and call him up. Good news though, new phone, wouldn't have bought one unless I desperately needed it.
IT is awesome! Much much better than the sidekick 2... it has a really good 1.3 mg pixel camera...they fixed the flash on the phone so now its bright enough, holds like 150 pictures...the roller ball on the phone works very well and is very cool, changes colors, the calender system is rad, it has an mp3 player...andinstead of just having AIM it has also msn and yahoo...which is nice I think the best part is is people can hear me better on it!
THe funniest part is, is on my old phone I had taken some pictures up my sweater so their are some cleavage shots of my boobs, and I took the pics because my interwebnets boyfriend Eric wanted me to take some naughty pictures while i was driving on the Morgan Freeman set...and so while I was trying to get a number off of the web desktop of the old phone, the sales guy Saw HUGE blown up pics of my boobies in the middle of the mall. Ok they were clothed but still...he chuckled.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Leave it up to me, to not get a super cheap phone and then go shopping for $300 worth of clothes... instead, i get a reall expensive phone that I'll use everyday!
geeeeeeeez. I'm such a techno nerdcakes.
Btw people, I have discovered a love for music that is changing my life. Yes I am a late bloomer... i will post a list of my new favorite songs soon.
Here are a couple for you to download:

Day 1 Part 1 The Feast of Love: My diary of being an Extra in a big Hollywood Film
Being an extra on a big time Hollywood movie was literally one of the most fun things I have done in my whole life! Yes, I know this is a huge statement but it far surpassed my wildest dreams.
DAY ONE: My first day on the set was kind of a hectic one. I had to be on the set at 5:45am. For those of you know me, you know that I rarely get out of bed before 9, and that is usually when I have something really important to do. I am a night owl, I get all my shit done in the evening when the world is quiet and the phone isnât ringing. So I was up late working on my portfolio, and then I realized, holy fucking shit all the clothes that fit the requirements of what I could wear were dirty, so I had to do laundry at 1am.
So I basically donât go to bed until 3:45 and have to be there at 5:45 which means that I get up at 5am have 30 minutes to get ready, and 15 minutes to drive there.
I wake up on time, because I am so excited. Get ready, jump in the car and go. I somehow miraculously found a really easy way to get there from I5 and I was even a little early. We were told that the âdriversâ in the movie had a specific place to check in at Shaver and Mississippi. So when I showed up there were all these 20-30somethings sitting in front of their cars, waiting to get checked in. An hour rolls around, this extremely attractive male named Jason shows up and checks us in. Heâs about 5â10 and wears glasses, has an adorable personalityâ�. I knew that this was going to be a very fun day.
So we all meander our way to âwardrobeâ and âmakeupâ to get checked in, and styled up. I am wearing this brown sleeveless American Apparel shirt with a cute jean skirt. I get to wardrobe, and they decide to put me in the UGLIEST fucking button down shirt to go over my brown shirt that I have ever seen in my life. I am slightly upset by this, but according to wardrobe it was my fault for only bringing 3 outfit changes. Now, I am no âfashion snobâ but this is seriously the ugliest shirt, it almost looks like a 2nd hand Hawaiian shirt (material wise) and pattern wise it looks like somebody puked an off brown stripe on a jean stripe pattern.
Anyway, so my hair is looking pretty curly and hair and make say they love itâ� So I am on my way to the âextras holding areaâ which consists of a huge cafeteria looking room across the street from the âfresh potâ caf�� where the film is being created. There is a temporary Fresh Pot set up to help customers in the area. Then while in the Extraâs holding area, I realize that there are only 55 extras. I now realize that I have been chosen out of 1500 people, to be 1 out of 55 for the first days of shooting. I then feel very special!!
Ok, so we go to Craft services (movie lingo for catering) and they have about a million different delicious things for you to eat. Fruit, eggs benidict , lox and bagels, omelets, and like 15 hot dishes, cereal, you name it.
DAY ONE .... TO BE CONTINUED
