Saturday Food and Exercise 3-5-11

Hey Guys so this day is quite interesting. I went to Military Ball, and well I had to eat the food they gave you because I paid for it. Lets just say it was disgusting! Me and my JC counselor, talked about what I would do and this is how you do it. You it 1/4 of the meat, 1/4 of the starch and 1/2 the veggies. I did less than that because the food was horrible. But earlier that day I had weighed myself and I was down 2 pounds and this morning I had gained it back. Probably because of those sodas, but hey I think I did pretty good. Heres what I ate.

Breakfast:

JC Multi-Grain Hoops Cereal

Milk

2 String Cheese

Protein Pill

Nutrition:

On weekends I wake up late so I eat my breakfast and Nutrition together. I also eat my lunch and after school snack together.

Lunch:

JC Stuffed Sandwich

Spinach Salad

JC Balsamic Dressing

Bruschetta Veggie Chips

Lunch was pretty good

Dinner:

Nasty undercooked Prime rib I had maybe 4 bites

1/4 of these weird potatoes

1 bite of the head of a hard broccoli

1/2 roll with a smear of a butter ball

1/2 Cesar Salad

Endless sodas (oops)

For Exercise I danced all night and I sweat alot and when you dance you get thirsty and all they had to drink was soda so hey obviously thats what Im going to drink.

All that made me gain 2 pounds but its ok! Im still less than I was last week :)

I had a lot of fun at the dance and I felt great and I thought I looked good!

Look for my weekly update video soon!

I Want To Move So BAD!

Hey Guys

So as I sit here in my new moon pajama bottoms while watching room tours, all I can think about is moving!

When my daddy was alive we lived in a really nice house and I had a perfect girly room plus a whole living room where I had a play kitchen and dolls and OMG it was amazing. After he died I basically lived downstair, I used to treat it as my little apartment, I had a baby born and she was my baby! I even bought her real baby diapers. I don't know if you guys can remember when target came out with all the baby swings and high chair things for dolls, but they were just like the real ones for babies but just smaller. I went crazy for that and my mom bought me the whole set. I WAS IN HEAVEN!

Sadly we had to move when I was 12 though and because we were moving from a big 2 story house to a small townhouse I had to get rid of my toys and also I was coming into my teen years. I was going to be starting middle school and it was time to grow up (or so I thought) so I sold my kitchen with the play food to a neighbor for 20 bucks and I went home and packed up my childhood.

The initial move was so sad because that was the house my daddy and his family grew up in and now the house I was growing up in too ( we moved there when I was 7). Also my dad died in that house to, like literally in our living room on the couch. :( It was very hard to leave that house and to this day almost 6 years later I still think about that house and I want to cry because I miss it so much. I think out of the 3 of us, my mom my brother and me, I took the move a little harder.

So now were at the house we live in now and I absolutely hate it. When we were first going to move here I was excited but since I've been here all I want to do is get out.

When we first moved here, I had a loft bed (for any of you that saw my room tour, you would know that my room is pretty small) so I had a loft bed that was a bunk on top it had a closet on it a desk, drawers and a pull out bed at the bottom. I also had a built in closet on the wall and a little dresser that my tv sat on. I like the bed sort of until, the heat came in. My room gets the most heat in the house and I hate heat! I would rather be cold.

That bed did not work out for me, so I convinced my mom to buy me a new bed set from the same furniture store, and they gave us a good deal because we donated my old loft to the lady who worked theres sister. Then I had a twin size bed a new huge dresser and a desk. I used the crap out of those furnitures (grammar check?)

I had that bed set up until Christmas 2009 and I got the set in 2006? maybe, not sure. Anyway I moved my room around like crazy. There is only so much you can do in a room as small as mine and let me tell you, I did it. My bed had literally circled the room every couple of months. Than a few months before Christmas my dresser broke and my bed and my vanity! So I needed new furniture. So as a Christmas present me my mom and my brother headed on down to ikea and bought me the set I have now. I really had wanted a pbteen bed that I saw, which had amazing storage but a it was way to expensive and b it wouldn't fit in my room. So i bought the bed I had and Christmas Eve Eve we started putting the room together, (me and my brother) and around 4am on Christmas we finished.

Now I have a few broken drawers but other than that I love my furniture. Its stylish and my bed is comfy, I have no complaints.

So now to the point of the blog post LOL don't you just love how I ramble. I'm a born writer! I could write all day! Anyways....

I hate my house and I want to move! I've been looking at real estate for 3 years and I've found some nice houses but my mom was never in the market to move. Now that Im graduating though were thinking about it and I can't be more thrilled! I love California but I wouldn't mind moving some place like North Carolina. My friends say thats some booty and I would hate it but I think I would love it. My mom not so much, she says if we move were staying here just maybe in another city.

So all i've been thinking about recently is moving and decorating a new room. I think I've done all I can to this room, so Im ready for a new one! My ideal room would be just this:

Good size with a walk in closet and my own bathroom with a shower and a tub. I would want to paint my walls teal with black and purple cheetah prints all over. I would get a full size bed (the one from pbteen) and I would have cheetah sheets and lots of cheetah pillows. I would get a little vanity and makeup drawers. A nice sized desk and I would keep my chair because its comfortable. I would have a lot of pictures on my walls, I like finding little treasures at ross! I would also have a mini bookshelf because I LOVE TO READ and a mini fridge to hold water and stuff. I would add more once I saw the room, but for the most part that's the room I really want. My mom knows what I want and she told me when we move she would try her best to make my dream a reality.

You might be saying, wait aren't you going to move out soon? and the answer is HECK NO TECHNO! Im only 17 im not going any where anytime soon! I told my mom I will be with her until I get married. I kid, but really Im not leaving yet. She's not getting rid of my that easy!

Anyway I want you guys to tell me what your dream room would be and maybe we can talk about decorating tips and tricks together! Ok guys im going to bed now it almost 1 am and I have school in 7 hrs. Night Night

Almost 10 Pounds!

Hey GUYS!!

So I wanted to tell you all that in not even a full week I've lost almost 10 pounds! I just woke up and weighed my self and I saw the number and it is 9 pounds down from my weigh in at jenny craig! I'm so excited! Today me and my mom are going to Sears to look at elliptical's and hopefully we will find one and bring it home today so I can start using it soon! Im so excited and motivated! I know not all weeks will be as good as this one but it's a very encouraging start!

I would like to take this time and tell you all what my dreams are for loosing all this weight!

Well some of the stores that I have always wanted to shop at but couldn't because they didn't carry my size are:

Victoria Secret- Best believe I will be in there buying up all the yoga and sweat pants, bras and panties I can find!

Hollister: I always wanted a logo shirt from there and maybe a pair of jeans

Abercrombie: I want some shorts for summer and maybe a bathing suit!

Juicy Couture: My mom said that once I loose a good amount of weight as a treat she would buy me an authentic juicy sweat suit and maybe a t-shirt that's on sale.

AND ANY OTHER STORE THAT I CAN FIT INTO!

My overall goal for the next year is to get down to a size medium, but thats going take a lot of work because right now I am a size 26-28 in jeans (I gots a big booty) and a size 3-4 in shirts.

By summer I would like to be down to at least a 2 or 1 in shirts and a 20 in pants, but I think I will be down a bit more! By the time I start cosmetology (teen agers we think in terms of schools not months or years haha) I would like to be a 16/18 and and L/XL in shirts.

Then by 19th Birthday (Im 17 now 18 on 4-20-11) I would like to Be in a size ten jeans and medium size shirt.

I would like to be a medium so bad, but if my bone structure won't allow it than I will settle for a large, because almost every store has small medium and large.

My mom also promised me that once I loose the weight I can get my belly button pierced! I've been wanting it for years and now Im really positive Im going to get it!

Also Im getting a tattoo as well on my right shoulder something for my dad but I think Im going to weight until I loose more and tone up more so that it doesn't get all weird when I loose the weight!

I will blog more when I have something to say! Thanks For Reading Everyone!

Love, Kris

Weight Loss!

Hey guys! So as you may know from reading my tweets or watching my second channel videos, I am on a weight loss kick! Not only for prom but for myself to be healthy! When I started exercising I was doing a video everyday, but instead I think I will do a weekly video with how much I lost in the total week and how my week was.

I recently started on the Jenny Craig teen plan and so far I've lost a few pounds and I've only been on it since Tuesday! (today is friday) I thought on here I could post daily or try to post daily, exactly what I ate and how much exercise I did and then in the video do a full recap of the week!

Doing this little weight loss journal kind of thing is really important to me because my weight has been a HUGE part of who I am for most of my life and Im ready to shed the title of "Kristin? oh the FAT GIRL! to "Kristin The Makeup Artist, Or Kristin The Friendly Girl" .

I've tried and failed so much with my weight. I was picked on a lot as a little kid, not only by people at my school but by my family and I always felt that I was never good enough for anybody, because no one wanted to be seen with a fat girl. In elementary school I had no friends and I felt so bad about myself that I would eat to make myself feel better and the pounds kept coming on and I still had no friends. Chips and Donuts were my friends.

When my dad died I gained about 100 pounds throughout the year because I ate to sooth the fact that I no longer had a daddy. Before he died I was part of a weight loss group that was for old ladies (my grandma was a member) and I decided to go and my dad joined too and I lost some weight but they never told you how to loose the weight and after the meeting they would all go out and eat fast food. It was not a good place to be in and after my dad died I tried to go back but it just wasn't good and since my grandma was the biggest person to "make fun of me" I quit.

After I graduated from the 6th grade I moved to a new city and I went to a middle school for a year where I completely changed as a person. I wasn't the sweet little girl my mom told people, I was a goody goody around my friends but a rebel with my family. That year I went crazy and I ate a lot but I was getting picked on at school too and I got into a couple of fights and even got suspended for cursing out a p.e. teacher :/ These things Im not proud of but they've made me who I am today.

I left that school after a year and went to the middle school/high school Im at now. I was still a little rebel when I got there but I made some friends. After 8th grade graduation though I messed up big time and the "popular" girl I was friends with didn't like me anymore and in 9th grade she hated and made my life a living hell. BTW I was picked on for my weight then too.

In 9th grade I really felt alone and my family was going through a lot. I was seeing a therapist actually since the 7th grade and I stopped seeing her just before my 16th birthday but she didn't really help me to be honest. If your a good enough liar you can make a therapist think your done with therapy. Again not proud of it, it ended up hurting me in the long run. Anyway I felt so far away from my friends and they all seemed to be having a great time and I was always sad, I would cry everyday and I attempted suicide a few times but I just couldn't do it and I didn't know why. I wanted to die so bad but I failed even at that. I started cutting and I still have the scars to this day.

Why am I sharing so much intimate info with you guys? Because I want to remember where I came from when all my weight is lost. I want to see every step that I went through and hopefully help someone who may be going through a similar struggle.

Although others may not see it, I feel like I have a big heart, sometimes being alone can turn you cold and make you have a lot of hate which I do have hate we all do, I prefer to help people the way I was never helped.

Anyway 10th and 11th grade I tried to loose weight but it didn't work. Oh yea i forgot to mention in between 7th and 8th grade during the summer I went to a fat camp. It was basically fat kid highschool. Even amongst kids with the same struggles as you, there was still the "skinny fat girls" and it was awful! I lost 12 pounds in a whole summer and I gained it back and more when I went back to school.

So here I am now a senior in high school. Its second semester and I want to do this. Prom is less than 100 days away and Im working hard. Joining Jenny Craig was a huge step for me. And I actually am sick with a cold and I started my period all in the same week. I felt like the universe was telling me they want me to stay fat and they were giving me all these barriers so I would crack. But now that I think about it, it was my daddy and God testing me. Seeing if I would stay strong and keep to my diet and you know what. I DID!! It hasn't been easy, I will lay in bed at night with the pit of stomach yelling at me telling me it's hungry but I don't feed into it.

Since I've been sick I haven't been super hungry so I haven't been eating everything on my menu except the jenny craig foods just to get the protein in.

I did have a weak moment and I ate half a chocolate donut and I even cried that I did that. The day I ate it was just a super awful day and I had been crying all day and my mom said not to stress about it, that I would just do better the next day.

She has been my rock in this first week, helping me with everything I need. If it weren't for her I don't know what I would do. She's amazing! THANKS MOMMY!

So I hope this gives you a background on me and if there is anything else you want to know just ask! Im not quite comfortable sharing my weight right now but once my number gets decreased enough I will let you guys know!

So heres the schedule!

BLOG EVERYDAY with what I ate for the day and the exercise I did and how im feeling.

1 Video EVERY WEEK like maybe on a friday or sunday can't decide yet. And Maybe a food haul with what I got from jenny craig. This will probably start on monday and that's going to be my day for when I meet with my counselor and when I get my foods! Major milestones like 10 pounds will go on my main channel but the hauls and weekly updates will go on my second channel as well as any other weight loss stuff!

Hope you enjoy and thank you for reading!!

Love Kristin!!
