I’m So Pissed About Brittney Murphy

Seriously, I do not follow movie stars. I once in a while jump on the Brad Pitt bandwagon or oo and aw over yummy menzes in the star community, so when I say I adored Brittney Murphy it’s not something normal for me. In fact I find most movie stars etc a bane on society. They suck money from feature films and increase the cost for all of us. Let’s face it, while a pretty face draws some box office money, it won’t make or break a good film. A good example? Avatar. It didn’t have huge star power, except Sigourney Weaver…but I digress… I absolutely loved Brittney Murphy and to see her skinny and slowly dying the last year broke my fuckin heart!
You were a real person and you uplifted my spirit when I watched you. So goodbye Brittney and I hope heaven has less assholes and lots of accolades.

Weight Loss Update and More

You know that awful thing that happens when you go on vacation? You know what I mean.. the food, the laziness, the utter complacency that seeps into your bones? Well it took me 6 weeks to get that out of my system AFTER I came back from vacation. Even though I watched the amount of food I ate, I didn’t exercise. Thus when I came home I felt the mocking glare of the scale every time I visited the bathroom. And I, of course, did what any normal person would do in the face of mockery, I ignored it. For about a week, anyway. Then I had to give in. Imagine my surprise when I hadn’t gained one pound! Neither had I lost any. Which just goes to prove my point about exercise and weight loss going hand in hand.

The worst part about going on vacation is coming back and trying to get back into an exercise routine that you’ve thus far avoided. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m the queen of excuses. I can find the most interesting and unusual ways to avoid exercising that are possible. I’ve literally made the excuse not to exercise because I’m typing a lot. Yes, it’s true. When it comes to burning calories though, typing doesn’t seem to do very much for the size of my inordinately large ass cheeks. Go figure right? So anyway, yesterday was my first attempt at real exercise in nearly 8 weeks (2 slovenly weeks on vacation and 6 at home making excuses ranging from typing to non-existent big toe pain). It felt good, and I really forget sometimes just how good one feels after exercise. I think it’s a good idea for everyone to really think about how good exercising feels afterward, to motivate before.

So there is your update on my journey of losing weight for free. If there is anyone out there reading up about my journey to have a baby and work, that update is below this (in case you want to click out of here haha).

So if you haven’t caught up with me on what I’m doing to earn money, since I can’t find a job in this teeny tiny city, I’ll catch you up a little bit. I started making money online with hubpages and now I earn about $200 a month from those. I also have a bunch of websites that bring me in about another $100-200 and the money just keeps growing. It’s not making me rich, but I expect to have a full time work income by the end of this year. =) Yay me. It’s all very exciting stuff because I’m doing it on my own. Half of what I write is about making money planning a wedding and you can visit that site to learn how to do it yourself. BTW you can do it without wedding planning, that’s just my particular area of expertise. If you read my hubpages you’ll see that I have a wide variety of subjects I write on. I want to thank the keyword academy for being such a blessing in my life and teaching me how to really make money online. If you’re at all interested in doing that, be prepared for some hard work and do NOT believe all that hype about getting rich quickly. I work very hard and I’ll see a payoff, but the only difference between this and a full time job right now is that I get to set my own hours. If you’re interested in making money online, then prepare for some really hard work and long hours. The best part is I can make passive income in a year, which means in a year from now I’ll have to work maybe 4 hours a day to make a full time income of $36,000 year.

That wraps up two of the main things in my life, the third main thing, which a lot of people are wondering about is the baby making. That, is not going well. Unfortunately we’re not pregnant yet, but I would appreciate all of the prayers and good thoughts sent our way to make it so. I don’t care if you’re Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu or whatever.. since I’m of the mind it’s all about God, I’m good with all your prayers and thank you in advance.

Remember that if you’re looking to lose weight for free check out Sparkpeople.com where everything is free and everyone is awesome! That last link isn’t an affiliate link. I will never use or ask for an affiliate to Sparkpeople. I give them a link because I’m so grateful for all they do for me and others like me.

Losing Weight For Free Update And More

What happens to a woman when she goes on vacation? Is it so hard to stay on track? For me it was relatively easy to stay on track with my diet. Exercise, however, was a whole different story. I exercised one whole day while on vacation. Of course, I didn’t really go on vacation. I worked the entire time.

So I suffered from the same problem that millions of us fat people suffer. We’re lazy! AMG big revelation there. (yeah that’s *A* MG not *O* MG). My ass sat in a chair and typed all day every day for two weeks.

On the brighter side I doubled my income. Thank you for giving me my life back
Hubpages and a job haha.

It’s a lot easier to be happy when you’re not miserable from being out of work.

Anyway back to my update. I haven’t lost any weight, but then again, I haven’t gained any either. That’s an accomplishment for a vacation dontchya think?

Now my ass is back and it’s going to get up and do some exercise!

If anyone wants to know how I’m losing weight for free, you can just read my very first post on this blog. Otherwise you can check out Sparkpeople.com. Don’t worry, that program is free.

Meanwhile, the rest of the time I’m going to be working on making money online. YAY

Step Up And Speak Out

Alexis — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:07:51 +0000

I’ve basically been a busy little bee lately. I’ve created a bunch of Hubpages that go over my weight loss and dieting tips. Things I’ve learned from Sparkpeople. I talk a lot about Sparkpeople in most of them and all of them speak directly to calorie counting (the Hubpages I mean). The best part is I’m making money off the pages. Oddly enough I’m making about 2-3 bucks a day with my articles and it’s writing about something i love.

Besides my weight loss articles I’m busy reading about party dresses and cheap Legos. Yes toys, I know that’s weird but being a former teacher I like reading about toys (and hopefully we’ll be preggers one day soon so i can buy some.)

The weight loss is going slowly but it’s going. I now am finally down to 2 asses instead of 3. If I could just whittle down some of my chins I’d be set. It really bugs me that of all my asses and chins, it’s my boobs that seem to disappear first. It’s God’s little joke I think. On the other hand seeing the empty pouches in my bra is encouraging me to check out more clothes. At least something is smaller right? I’m down 24 pounds now and really happy about it.

My second love in life (OK it’s my first, but don’t tell my husband) is shoes. I’m writing a lot about shoes and just wrote a great Hub on platform heels. You can see some pictures of my crazy shoe collection on the platform boots site.

I’ve also moved my main wedding site to planning a wedding now dot com (instead of blogspot). If you have an affinity for saving money or want some tips to save a lot of money on your wedding you can head over there and check it out.

Ok update over and back to my salad (yes sometimes I eat them). Today I kinda have to eat a salad for dinner cuz I ate a whole packet of Marie cookies between yesterday and today and I just don’t have that many calories left *cry*. Well next time I tell my husband to hide the cookies, he’ll find a better spot =P

Anyway head over toHubpages if you like to write about all kinds of stuff and get paid to do it. (You’re probably not going to retire on the money, but hey every bit counts right?) and unlike this blog, you just write your Hubpage and publish it.

PS: I decided to say screw it to grammar and punctuation so I could actually finish a post while I’m at a computer.

If you have any questions leave me a comment =)
