The Weight.

So my mother-in-law is organizing a "The Biggest Loser" type of competition between familiy and friends, I have no idea how many people are participating, if there are any type of rules (like weight in every Thursday?), if there's a prize at the end.. I don't know. All I know is that I need to lose some weight and I feel much more comfortable with trying to accomplish that if I know that I'm not the only one. The fact that it's some what of a competition helps with motivation too. =) It officially starts on Saturday, if you wanna play along just keep track of your starting weight (you could break out the measuring tape and measure certain areas of your body (hips, calves, biceps.. etc)  and try to get an idea on how many inches you are losing too!!) and try to eat healthy and exercise. Let me know if you're playing along!!

I've been wanting to do Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" for a long time, but I need to get the darn DVD first!! Do you have any exercise dvds that you'd recommend?? What works for you??

What about following a diet plan... Slim Fast... Special K..... Weight Watchers......... I have a couple Slim Fast shakes that I'm gonna be drinking in the next few days (cappucino flavor, i love cappucino flavor but those are hard to get down!) and I'll probably be buying some protein bars, etc. WHAT WORKS????

Sinful Colors #945 Soul Mate

I love Sinful Colors nail polish, for one thing it's cheap $1.99 regularly and sometimes you can find it at Walgreens on sale for $1 each!! With that being said.. I own quite a few colors of this polish! It says it is a "professional" polish, and it does last pretty well. I messed up tonight and put a Rimmel clear coat on top of it and they don't like each other too well, one of these days I need to get the Sinful Colors clear base/top coat polish... I've kind of sworn off buying any more nail polish though, I own a TON of it. OOPS.

"Soul Mate" is a light salmon color, it has some pink and some orange, it was super difficult to get an accurate photo of the color, but I guess it doesn't help that I'm taking pictures in my room with no sunlight. It's actually doesn't look much like the color in the photo at all, why do I bother??? lol I looked at Google Images too and it looks like I'm not the only one who has difficulty with photographing this color! HA! I'm not the only one!!

I don't know how to describe the color, these photos do it no justice what so ever. It's a more intense shade that what is shown, it's kind of a medium bold pink with a little orange thrown in, that's the best I can tell you. Yes, I know that's not very helpful... sorry.

Maplestory

If you are ever curious as to what I enjoy doing in my spare time... Maplestory is your answer. It's a free online game, a gigantic download (but they'll send you the files on dvd if you want), and it's played by millions of people. Sure, most of them are younger than me, but it's a fun game and I enjoy playing it.

 There are many different characters that you can choose to play, my character is a Wild Hunter.. it's the only character that gets to ride around on a jaguar, and you can buy things in the cash shop, like my Black Kitty. My kitty follows me around everywhere, gets sad when it's hungry, and I bought extra items so that my kitty will pick up what the monsters drop when killed. It's a pretty cool game!

If you would like to play, head on over to the Maplestory website and get the game downloaded ( I warn you, the file is over 2 gigs!!!) and join me in the game. I play on the Galicia server and my character name is msjennb. Let me know if you're gonna play!!

Bloglines is Back

I posted months ago about how disappointed I was that bloglines.com was going to be shut down, I really enjoyed that site and I was into using feed readers at the time, so when I heard that they would be shutting down, I had switched over to Google Reader (not my favorite) and then I was busy with work and not really having time to be on the computer anyway so I stopped using that too. Well, while all this was happening Bloglines emailed me to say that the site wasn't being shut down after all, in fact they ended up revamping it!! So just yesterday I signed back up with them and started using the brand new website, it's got all sorts of widgets (weather, news, facebook, twitter) that you can use and all those feed reader capabilities that I loved so much, but better! With even more options!

If you're in search for a good feed reader I suggest you head over to Bloglines and give them a try, I think you'll enjoy that website as much as I do =) P.S. If you have some good blog recommendations from me to read, please link me to them in the comments <3

Hey!!!

Wow, it's been a month already since I last posted... OUCH. I am so sorry!! I am writing to let you know that my hours at work have slowed down, so I will back to blogging very shortly =) Also, I am so friggin' ready for a new blog layout, aren't you??? Maybe even something with a custom touch, I'd love to create a new layout 100% by myself, but I need to teach myself some web design skills first.

I would like to throw out a huge THANK YOU to all of you who have been visiting my blog over the past month or two, you come visit even when there is no new content.. YOU ARE AWESOME. =)

Look for some new blog happenings around here on Thursday or Friday =D Hope things are going well for everyone.
