Thoughts...

I'm frazzled today. Mentally worn out from life. I did however have a good moment, starring at myself in the mirror! hehe! Wanna see? Huh huh..... I knew you'd say yes! I'm such a smooth talker! However would you resist? Here goes...


and then here's one from today at work...



P.s. I have a few writting opportunities popping up!
1. Writing SHORT articles 4x a week for an online forum on one specific topic I supposedly know a lot about. I have no idea what the pay is, but probably minimal b/c I think it's just a way to get your name out there, become known.
2. Writing a monthly article for a lifestyle magazine for $1.50/word....psst, that's pretty damn good from what I hear! IE, 500 word article 1xmth is $750/mth for ONE article.
3. Writing a 40,000 word, yes word, BOOK on traveling. I pick a town I know a lot about or have traveled alot, or WANT to travel a lot. Then I write about places to go, places to stay, things to do, etc. It'd due by Nov, I get a book advance and then 10% of the sales and then I'm listed as the AUTHOR! Nifty spifty right?

so all of those, I think, are super stellar! I'm going to be looking into ALL of them b/c I think I may be able to swing doing all of them.

All of these new interesting adventures pose a question. ??DO I GO BY MY REAL NAME?? I always thought if I became a pornographic author of sexually steamy novels, I'd HAVE to have a fake name. I wouldn't want everyone knowing THAT stuff went through my head! lol! so I do already have a fake name picked out. But also, part of me wants people to do stuff like the traveling book and have MY birth name on it and be like, "Oh I know Liz" ya know? Hmmm, I'm undecided. I guess it really all depends on the type of writing I want to lead to in the future. BTW, fake name is Isabella (not gonna tell the last name yet) :)

xoxo,

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
