Congrats on the detox going well!! But sorry that your sweetie had to leave so soon. I was just visiting mine 2 weeks ago and I won't see him again until June...but then in August, like you, I will join him forever!!! I am also using this time to hang out with friends and family. We both have iChat on our MACs and we video conference almost every day though. It gets lonely, but we manage!
I am thinking about getting microdermabrasion too...my skin is nice..but it gets dry. I have been using La Mer every day for like 6 months now and it's making an improvement, but I feel like I could "sand of the top layer" and be better off. I want that nice clean shine!!
Hi Becka!! Just read your diary, and checked out your wedding page...awesome!! Very romantic!! My hubby and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage in June, and wish you both well!!

Ah, the difficulty of long-distance relationships.. But the only way to cope is to be positive, I suppose- the more you mope, the worse you feel I have found!
Definitely consider getting microderm- my face is, unfortunately, acne-prone and also terribly try in some areas- the treatments have done wonders thus far!

Aww thanks Beckster- Congrats to you as well- thats truly amazing in this day and age
Haha, yes I should probably mention that Blair introduced me to the 'wedding webpage' situation- I stole her idea but I felt that I should definitely accredit her for it
9pm- Just had a nervous breakdown as I was sitting in the bathtub, having a"relaxing" bath while reading Glamour when I came about an article on cancers. It showed a few melanoma like moles and I freaked out and screamed for my Mom- I'm getting a few of my birthmarks/moles checked out at the beginning of next week as I'm a nervous wreck.
You really need to get out of my head!! LOL!! That happened to me last year, all my moles were freaking me out. Fortunately Pete's dad is a GP so he sliced them all off for me! I stay out of the sun...but I worshipped it when I was a kid.
I was going to go out tonight to Geisha House (where Pete and I met) to hang out with one of my best friends but I know how that ends..it's such a glammo-posh place full of celebs, models and gorgeous people. I always feel inferior and then I drink too much. I have a photoshoot tomorrow and don't really want to look puffy so I'm staying at home to read Martha Stewart weddings, have a nice bubble bath with green tea bags on my eyes. I'll go to sleep early and try to feel pretty tomorrow Woo Hoo!! Hot times on a Friday night!
Hey...as an aside...check out the FitDay website (look at my link below.) Just poke around and see what it does. NEAT!
Gosh, your life sounds so freaking glamarous compared to mine! A photo shoot? For what? Can I please have your career? I'm headstrong about somehow finding a way to get me out to California before I leave the country- its one of the few places I have ALWAYS wanted to go but have never been!
And yes, we are the same person. I think I'm going to get all of my 'sliced off' as well- does it hurt?
Your night sounded nice and relaxing. I think I got myself too worked up as I didnt sleep AT ALL so I'm feeling quite lethargic here at work this morning. Working here 830-1230, going to the gym and then bartending 5-3am. I can't believe I only get paid $8/hour at this bloody job- welcome to the low economic area where I was brought up! As my father brings in an exorbident amount of money, I'm stuck at the very bottom of the food chain..with a MASTERS degree- *Sigh*- the things we do for love and those we love
Bloody hell. 10:38 and I've already eaten almost half the day's calories. I hate days like these! After I worked so hard detoxing..Okay, breathe. I need to steer clear of those protein bars since they're 220 calories! They're just so wonderful for that chocolate craving and sugar rush, especially since they don't have any refined sugars in them.. Well, working until noon and then to the gym so I'll just work extra hard there!
I LOVE those protein bars!!! Especially the chewy chocolate peanut butter ones!! I only allow myself to have them just before or immediately after a workout now.
The mole removal did not hurt at all. I got a small injection to numb it and then he sliced them off with a scalpel and then cauterized the wound with what looked like a soldering gun. It burned slightly hours later in the way it would if you touched a friend's cigarette by accident. No scar or anything. Once you're married you can get them all done for free on the NHS! YEAH!!
My life sounds glam but it's not, really. I'm a loner for most of the time. The photos are basically for this one photographer who wants to shoot me. I am going to change my hair again soon so it will be a nice documentation. I'm going back to my natural blonde next. No more dying.
So....here's a deal for ya...come out to LA and we will have a health retreat. Hop on a JetBlue and then just stay with me. There are so many gorgeous places to hike or walk, we can work out at my gym for free. There's amazing health food everywhere...LA is perfect for someone who wants to lose weight and get fit. You get inspired by all the beautiful people once you get over the urge to open a vein. But the whole culture is very supportive to "body betterment" I can even be a teetotaler when I want without getting the funny looks. In NYC they're like "whaddaya mean ya don't drink?" That's like saying you don't breathe air! Also the gorgeous thin models you see everywhere back East are on the NYC diet which means "I smoke 3 packs a day and I can't afford to eat anything." They don't really look good up close, just dangerously thin. Here, everyone is...well...buff!!!
I mean it, come out for a few days or a week and we will do something cool everyday. It will be good for both of us. We can go for a hike in Runyan Canyon or up on Mulholland, I know this great place by the Hollywood sign where once you get to the top you can see the whole city AND the valley! The topography here is amazing. One day you can wake up and surf, then go skiing in the afternoon, then sleep under the stars on a blanket in the desert. I kid you not. All in one day.
I’m serious Becka, if you want to see the Pacific, which I think you should, come to LA for a little while and be my guest. Just get a plane ticket and that’s all you have to worry about. We won’t laze around (much,) we will work hard at doing some great healthy activity every day and it will be disguised as being a tourist trip. We can even go to some super posh bridal shops and go to Rodeo drive just for fun! You will go hope happy, thinner and fitter. This is not a completely altruistic offer...you would be motivating me and therby kind of like a "sponsor." LOL!!
Same in NYC too BYW…don’t get s hotel, I have an apartment in the East Village.

Hey girl, you are so sweet! I would love to come and visit you at some point. I can't consider anything until July as I am committed to both of my jobs until then but as the summer months approach, we'll defintely reconsider it- thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the new blonde look- I can't imagine you as a blonde!
Work last night was enjoyable, as bartending allows me to relax and I really enjoy the socializing that is integral to receiving good tips. However, one of my regulars, who is this super sweet, lovely man, basically confessed he was in love with me and that I'm his ideal girl... Talk about awkward and uncomfortable moments. As as the drinking continued, it only became worse! I'm used to the older men making comments about 'if i were 20 years younger..' but this guy is my friend and is my age- ouch! And while of course I am flattered, I'm also engaged!!
Slept most of the day today as the 4am night left me absolutely shattered. Still feel pretty wrecked. Going to practice my guitar and go back to bed. Have a great day tomorrow everyone!
In the middle of a winter storm. Foot of snow already on the ground and its the middle of April. This is what I call virtual insanity. I don't believe it!
After backtracking the weekend before last, am back at starting wieght of 163. Despite strict obedience to eating plan, the sccale has not budged. If I still do not see progress by Sunday, I will adjust the plan further. Argh- I hate my body- it tends to lose weightto its own discretion and does not consult me!
Anyway, breakfast was 1/4 cup egg beaters, slice soy cheese and two pieces of turkey bacon [only 20 calories and really tasty- recommend it to anyone!].
Most schools are off this week for vacation but those that arent have been cancelled for today. The roads are really slippery! Okay, back to work-
