If someone passes a negative comment towards you, ignore it. They're most likely just jealous of something you've got!

Why I Love L.A.

I've been having a hard time re-adjusting to life in L.A. Living w/my parents, traffic, the price of gas... Yesterday I drove about 45 miles North of L.A. to Camarillo to do some shopping at the outlets. Instead of taking the freeway back I decided to drive through the canyon and hit PCH. It was such a clear day. I pulled my car over and just stared at the ocean.

There are a lot of things wrong with Los Angeles. But when you're able to drive a mere 10 minutes and see this it makes up for all the bad stuff!

Have a great day!

French Women Don't Get Fat

Stylish, convincing, wise, funny and just in time: the ultimate non-diet book, which could radically change the way you think and live.
French women don't get fat, but they do eat bread and pastry, drink wine, and regularly enjoy three-course meals. In her delightful tale, Mireille Guiliano unlocks the simple secrets of this "French paradox" -– how to enjoy food and stay slim and healthy. Hers is a charming, sensible, and powerfully life-affirming view of health and eating for our times.

As a typically slender French girl, Mireille went to America as an exchange student and came back fat. That shock sent her into an adolescent tailspin, until her kindly family physician, "Dr. Miracle," came to the rescue. Reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy plus time-honored secrets of the local women, he helped her restore her shape and gave her a whole new understanding of food, drink, and life. The key? Not guilt or deprivation but learning to get the most from the things you most enjoy. Following her own version of this traditional wisdom, she has ever since relished a life of indulgence without bulge, satisfying yen without yo-yo on three meals a day.

Now in simple but potent strategies and dozens of recipes you'd swear were fattening, Mireille reveals the ingredients for a lifetime of weight control–from the emergency weekend remedy of Magical Leek Soup to everyday tricks like fooling yourself into contentment and painless new physical exertions to save you from the StairMaster. Emphasizing the virtues of freshness, variety, balance, and always pleasure, Mireille shows how virtually anyone can learn to eat, drink, and move like a French woman.

What's Yelp?

Yelp is the new and fun way to find, review and talk about what's great - and not so great - in your neighborhood and beyond, everything from cool restaurants and bars to doctors and yoga instructors.

This site has been a life saver! When my brother and I drove from Atlanta to Los Angeles I Yelped all the way! When you're in Ft. Smith, Arkansas you don't know where to eat! The Yelp reviews were so helpful and so right on point.

I just think its a great site and I wanted to tell you all about it!

Check it out some of my reviews @ http://nec1908.yelp.com

Dinner for Breakfast

Wanna know what I had for breakfast this morning? A broiled salmon filet and roasted broccoli. Wanna know why? Its called the Reverse Diet. The premise is that you could lose weight by eating dinner for breakfast. The author, Tricia Cunningham, lost over 170 pounds using this simple technique and had maintained her weight loss for over 7 years.

What the heck. I'll try anything once!

Finally!

This has nothing to do with weight loss but I'm glad somebody is finally agreeing with me!!!!

According to TMZ, Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on "The View" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." Barry, taking a stand!

I am praying that she goes off to have that baby and never comes back!

WTF

I have no idea who Maggie Grace is but she looks like a hoochie in this outfit.

Emmy Awards 2005

There were lots of really skinny women on the red carpet at the 59th annual Primetime Emmy Awards which was held at the Shrine Auditorium last night.

*Yawn*

Hip(s) Hop

Ice-T's "wife" Coco is really interesting....

Who walks down the street dressed like that?

Fit Tip of the Day

Replace a coffee break with a brisk 10-minute walk. Ask a friend to go with you.

Beauty Tip of the Day

Go through life feeling beautiful every second, no matter what you are wearing or how your hair or make-up looks. You are always beautiful!

Help!

I really need to detox from sugar! Sugar is my enemy!!! But I love it soooo much!

Back on track

So you guys know I've been temping for the last 6 weeks and I've been miserable! So yesterday was my last day and I don't start my new job until October 1. My plan is to work my ass off excercising until then. Have I started? Um, not yet.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and found out what I'd already suspected, I've gained a few pounds back, I'm totally devestaed! I really am. But I'm not going to let it bring me down. I know that I'm an emotional eater. And with my life in a bit of flux right now, I know I've been living on sugar - alot of sugar. But I'm hoping that with my new career will come a more positive outlook on things and I'll finally be able to get my shyt together.

Wish me luck!

So Confused

Seriously though, what the hell happened to Jenna Jameson?

It's Britney Biyatch!

Ok, here's my take on the whole Britheny Spears MTV VMA BS. Is Britney fat? Absolutely not - in the real world. However, in the world of the celebrity, having a itty bitty touch of fat is a sin. Britney Spears had two kids in two years. Even though we've seen numerous pictures of her in fishnet stockings going to and from "dance" class, every woman knows that it takes time for your body to recover from childbirth and its never going to be the same as it was before you popped out those kids.

There is no reason that she should have worn a bra and panties on that stage. And I have no doubt that if she had rocked that performance less people would be talking about her being "fat". However, she didn't rock it. She moved in slow motion which gave us every chance to see each and every imperfection on her body.

I think that Britney is a good performer, not the strongest singer, but she's had some catchy tunes. I feel sorry for her. I feel bad that she's had a rough couple of years - even though she is 100% responsible for what has happened to her. As Heather knows, I've always thought that Kevin Federline got a raw deal in the press and I think that more people are starting to see that Britney isn't that 14 year old girl any more and she's got some issues.

She needs help and I truly hope that someone comes into her life - Dr. Phil - and really talks some sense into her. She needs to go get herself a house on some island and lay low for a few months and get her shyt together. Why does she go to Ralph's and Rite Aid Every Day! Doesn't she have people to do that kinda stuff?


Ok. I'm Done.
