TGIF

While sitting at work I'm wondering what I can do to keep myself busy, things are a little slow around here today! So, I did what I do best....youtube and search anything makeup related!! I'm addicted to makeupgeek.com as well and beautybroadcast.net. 

Makeup has recently become an obsession of mine. I find myself ordering anything and everything, especially eyeshadow...can one have too much eyeshadow? I think not! I've even subjected my friends to my lack of experience makeovers and I love them for letting me do that. A downside I'm finding however is that my morning routine is taking even longer than normal now that I have my makeup arsenal to rifle through every morning. Thinking about entering into the Makeup Geek's weekly challenge....create an eyeshadow look with teal, green and white - maybe this weekend.

On the workout weight loss front, I've lost 12lbs to date WHOOT! I was reluctant to weigh myself last night as I'm still on the boarder line of weighing daily, weekly or monthly but I'm glad I did. It was surprising and put me in a positive mood for the rest of the night. I'm fighting the urge to not wanna workout tonight because I wanna be lazy and go home but hopefully I can change my mind before 4pm.

Have a great weekend everyone....see ya next week!

Fustrated new blogger!!

I gotta say usually things come pretty easy to me but I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to "subscribe" to people's blogs. I've found quite a few that I really like however they don't have the google icon to follow and I'm at a loss as to how to follow them without that. Anyone have advice for this newbie?? Thanks!!

To weigh or not to weigh that is the question

How often should one weigh themselves? At Curves I hear ladies talk about weighing themselves morning & night, some only once a week and some only once a month. Going into this I told myself I'm not going to weigh myself (other than the monthly weigh/measures from Curves), that I'll just go by how I'm feeling and how my clothes are fitting.

However, I find myself wondering just where I am every time I walk into Curves and see the scale sitting there, all lonely....like it's begging me to step on it. My fear is that I'll have gained a few lbs and then get down on myself which will not help me to stay motivated! On the other hand it might make me think about what I'm eating and increase the intensity of my workout because I don't want to see it go up. Ladies, I need your opinions....what's worked best for you??
