Dear Diary,

Today is day 10 of my HCG/800 calories a day diet. On this diet you’re supposed to lose a pound a day. So I should be 10 pounds down today and swinging from the rafters with happiness. Unfortunately I am only down 6.5 pounds. The last time I lost a pound was when I weighed myself Tuesday morning. It’s frustrating when you feel like you’re barely eating anything and you aren’t dropping the weight every day.

BUT, though I’m frustrated by it, I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that I’ve almost lost 7 pounds!!! I mean…that’s a pretty big deal. I’ll take it! I can already feel my pants getting loose and my tummy getting flatter. So it is inspiring.

I really don’t want to gain those 6.5 pounds back so I’m excited to continue to eat only healthy foods and also work out more. I’m determined! Here I go! Update soon 🙂

So I’ve officially discovered how I gained 15lbs since I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago. Yes…I know..most people move to LA and lose weight…I did the opposite.

I’m only on day 4 of my 800 calories a day HCG drops diet but I can see clearly now how I would eat EVERYTHING and ANYTHING without even second guessing. Also I work in an office. And anyone who works in an office knows there is always some kind of bad food swarming around the kitchen calling your name. Just today alone, my office ordered pizza for everyone and then around 3 o’clock we had a brownies and ice cream party. I can’t even tell you how weird it felt to not partake in any of it! Because I am never THAT girl. I eat it all and sometimes even go for seconds. So of course now that I’m avoiding basically everything but protein and veggies, I realize how often I would just eat it all! lol

It’s mind boggling I tell you!! It definitely shows me that I need to have more self control in the future and start making healthier choices.

Yes..that is Amanda Bynes working out at the gym. Not normal right? What would go through someone’s head to act like that? Lots and lots of drugs?? I dont know…

So I’m going to say it… I’m very skeptical of this whole Amanda Bynes meltdown fiasco. A part of me really believes that this is all some joke on America and she is acting like this for some upcoming movie roll. Remember how Joaquin Phonex pretended to be a rapper or whatever for awhile and we were all like “what the heck is wrong with him?”, then we later found out it was for some documentary/movie and he was just “acting”. Ya… I believe Amanda is doing the same thing.

I would love it if Amanda Bynes went on the Tonight Show and was like “heeeeeey everyone. It’s all a big fat joke. I’ve been acting like a crazy girl for this upcoming movie titled ‘How a D-List Actress Can Go From No Career to A-List Status By Just Acting Nutso’ It’ll be out this Summer! Ya’ll were fooled!!”

OR it could even be called “The Lindsay Lohan Project”. Man I’m a genius. Britney Spears’ meltdown was believable and justified. Amanda Bynes’ meltdown is not. And I hate when people compare her to Britney. Like “oh my gosh it’s totally Britney 2.0!!” Um, how about no? People don’t care enough about Amanda for it to even come close to how epic Britney’s meltdown was. So please dont put them in the same category.

Rant over. And if it turns out that Amanda is really on crazy drugs and all these actions are real and true…then I’ll eat my words.

Check out Miley Cyrus on the cover of V Magazine.

Girl is getting scandalous! I would be more impressed if she didnt have that awful haircut. I’m over it. It really takes her from a 10 to a 6.

Since it’s been two days in a row that I’ve gone to the gym (trust me that’s a big deal to me ha) I randomly looked up ab workouts on youtube this evening. I came across this chick: Laura London. I didnt even get a minute into watching this video when I immediately knew she was a new favorite. Wait for the 47 second mark and you’ll see why. LOL

Oh ya…you can watch this video too for a 10 minute ab workout. #bikiniseason

As I said in a previous post, girls can be much harder on themselves than necessary and many of our biggest insecurities are ones that no one even notices.
I know when I look at people I focus more on what makes them beautiful and I envy that about them…I don’t focus on their flaws.

Dove did this really great commercial that shows a perfect example of women being too hard on themselves and seeing only the bad and never the good. It was really touching to see the difference between how they described themselves and how a stranger did.
No one is perfect and everyone is beautiful in their own way whether they believe it or not.

How would you describe yourself to someone drawing you?
