I would start a ‘Daily To-Do’ list. This was after the council meeting from hell, and something that I really do not want to talk about again, suffice it to say that I was stark raving mad and ending up giving Sara a migraine because I was like pouring out energy I was that pissed off. After they left I had a minor crying session because I think I’m actually PMSing, and what I was crying over wasn’t the issue because the true issue is that since I’ve been sick for the past week and a half, I’ve let things go and I felt out of control and I took the stance of fixing rather than obsessing. YAY for me. (No seriously, when I get obsessive nothing gets done. Vicious cycle I know.) So before bed I got the laundry put away and began to do the Daily To-Do list. And before I get started in my 2 hour of daily cleaning, I figured that I’d blog and drink my breakfast a triple chocolate protein shake. (*gag*) After which I will put the computer back on the desk turn on the tunes (OMG Nicki M’s new song ‘Turn me on’ amazing) and dance while cleaning my apartment while the timer ticks away. Tiny has already been out, and I am going to do a work out as soon as I finish drinking my shake. I might actually wait until 11 am hits so that way I can so a full 60 min work out via just dance.
I know that I can do this, and I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now, and it just makes more sense to start now rather than later.
It kind of sucks because I got the perfect TV from rent a center, a Sony Bravia that could hook up to the net and I could watch netflix, listen to pandora etc and there was a broken pixel in it coming out of box so I got a loaner and while its a bigger LCD screen its not my tv. 
Oh well. I’m just thankful that I am doing this through Rent A Center and not just bought it from Walmart because that pixel would not have been fixed.
In some kick ass news I weight myself this morning and so far 3 more pounds have been lost. 
news and informations automotive,business,crime,health,life,politics,science,technology,travelautomotive,business,crime,health,life,politics,science,technology,travel This past month as been a blur of emotions for me. From worrying about gastric bypass green lights, to family drama (or lack there of. Call me paranoid but when all is calm during the holidays with out the traditional family fight- I get worried.) To stressing about school work, health related issues etc. I just haven’t been able to catch my breath. And for about a month now I can’t sleep worth a darn. Of course my life is so boring with out a man, kids, or a strict schedule that I really don’t stress about it all that much. Except for today. You see I have to keep tabs on the bipolar aspect of my health, and when I can’t sleep for shit every night for a month, its time for me to call me doctor to get put on something to help me sleep, or at least get some Benadryl which is guarantee knock out drug of choice for me. I wouldn’t worry about it if it were just sleep alone, but its also the fact that I’m irritable, over the stupidest things. So my readers, I believe that I am having a mild manic episode. Thankfully as part of the green light from the pdoc I have to make an appointment and keep an appointment with my local mental health facilities. My counselor is wonderful and very encouraging, and I think I’m going to be having a long talk with her about this Wednesday.
One some better news- My sister and her boyfriend should be coming up to visit me soon. I can’t wait. I love/hate being here alone day after day. Its more like I love it because its drama free and I don’t have to deal with people’s gossipy shit, but I hate it because I live so far away from my family. Mom wants me to move down to the Tower’s where she’s at, and I’m just not all that comfortable with it. I like living here for the most part. For the first time in a long time, I have friends that I can go out with that understand my ‘I’m not going to drink, but I’m certainly willing to dance like I’m drunk and be DD to make you guys feel better.’ and they understand me. And more over the care about me as me and not me trying to hard to please people. Also I’ve been able to really grow as a female and really value the empowerment that I’ve tripled since being here.
Did I mention that my Birthday is this month? Yeah… I don’t wanna talk about it. Don’t tell anyone but I’m going to be *gulp* 27. I’m having a huge problem with this. Not because its old or anything like that. But because I kind of had a to do list of things I’d wanted to do before I turned 30. And only like two of those things are going to be done. The first is getting the gastric bypass and loosing the weight, and second is graduating from college. Thanks to Full Sail I’ll be able to do that. That and birthday’s =cake and ice cream and blargh. However Pillsbury now has sugar free cake mixes and frostings that are pretty stinking good.
I did learn that Special K protein shakes are amazingly good, but also very high in sugar. Sugar is baaad. I’m also starting hopefully tomorrow (I’m taking a bus to Wal-mart.) I am going to get the Whey protein shakes that are very low in sugar and some protein shots. (They have grape, watermelon, and strawberry… Strawberry wins for me.) and I’m going to go on a week long liquid fast to try to up my weight loss and get over this plateau I’m having. I’m also doubling my work outs to three times a week to 30 min daily, rotating between just dance 3 and doing the treadmill, and upping my water in take from 63oz to 126 oz. I haven’t had soda in a long time, but I have gone out to dinner, and starting tomorrow-er-today I am going to be on a 90 day no fast food challenge. With that I’m also doing a 90 day no caffeine/soda challenge. Ok so since I can’t sleep, and the dog is snoring beside me on the floor, I decided to take it on step further on the 90 day challenges and create a new 101 in 1001 list. You can find it under the Day Zero tab. Wish me luck!

If you are anything like me, I like to make lists. I also am not a party throwing person. My apartment is rather small; However should I ever want to throw a party, I’m sure I’d be making lists after lists. I like the idea of themed parties and the party planning checklist from the Party Queen, leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, the .pdf is free which is nice, but lacks in everything outside of food planning.
When throwing a party here’s a checklist I’d like to have
- A schedule for pre-party clean up of the house
- Invitation addresses to be sent out or e-mailed.
- Invitation/RSVP list (including allergies for guests
- Party favors list to buy at the store
- Music play list
- Games list
- Food served and the ingredients I’d need.
- If alcohol is served a list of Designated Drivers
- If there are people sleeping over a list of people that are going to stay
- A list of people that are going to help clean up and set up.
The Party planning checklist only has spaces were you can either write in, or type the snacks, meals, beverages etc that are served, the ingredients needed and what to buy at the store. Anyone who is savvy with Microsoft word can do a better presentation I fear. The boxes in this package are small and those like me with larger hand writing would make a mess of it. The entire .pdf is four pages long to ‘help’ you make lists. The graphics look like a Middle school child’s project and not professional looking at all. Also its set up for a 3 day party… I’m not sure about anyone else, but unless its a fair, gathering like a family vacation 3 days is rather much and the extra space could have ben used for something else, like the recipe itself so you don’t have to look through 500 books or 1,000 websites to find that one recipe. The only perk about this is it has a to prepare day, and for things like pasta salad, or deserts that have to set it will give ample time so the day of the party to do last minute clean up and touch ups of decorations. This is honestly something I wouldn’t use myself but for those of you that would, its free, just follow the link and save it to your hard drive and you can use it over and over again.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
I would start a ‘Daily To-Do’ list.

YAY for me. (No seriously, when I get obsessive nothing gets done. Vicious cycle I know.) So before bed I got the laundry put away and began to do the Daily To-Do list. And before I get started in my 2 hour of daily cleaning, 1 I figured that I’d blog and drink my breakfast a triple chocolate protein shake.
