“You are so lucky.”

It seems my girl, Lauren, has a bit of a temper. I think Fatima is awful and all, but I don’t think she deserved to be on the receiving end of all that! Also, the Tyra mail? I think Lauren is just as fed up with the screaming and running and say…ing…each…word…real…ly…slow..ly as the rest of us. I have said it before and someone always mentions it in the comments, HOW FREAKING ANNOYING IS THAT?! That shit better not be around next cycle because I have already had it with this show and don’t know how much more I can take!

This weeks challenge is go sees. This time they break them up in to teams to do it. Of course, Lauren can’t walk. Whitney is too plus sized. Blah-di-blah-di-blah. Stacy Ann, Claire, Dominique and Whitney’s team win. Their prize? A summer beauty shoot in Seventeen magazine. Dominique proceeds to babble about how she was 5 and always wanted to be in Seventeen or some nonsense. Too bad the bitch looks about 50, so the whole 17 thing? I don’t think so.

The photo shoot is some weird plasticy floor sheet with water on it and they have be fluid and move gracefully while being shot from below. On to the photos.

day one

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I’ve been pretty much maintaining the same weight, give or take a few pounds, since December when I went to Vegas. While the number was far from ideal, I wasn’t really mad at it. I don’t like it and still think it is too high, but it could have been worse. The past two weeks, I have really been indulging myself and telling myself it was okay because my birthday was coming up. Today I got on the scale and saw a number I was definitely not okay with, only a few pounds up but still, not good.

Starting today, I’m now back in lose weight mode. I have a trip to Florida in June and I would like to look acceptable in a swimsuit. So I’m back to watching my intake, daily weigh ins and elliptical every day I can fit it in. Also, now that the weather is actually starting to feel like spring and getting warmer, Edie and I will be taking a long walk once a day. I’m cutting out pop (soda, for your weird people!) completely and drinking tons of water. More protein, less carbs. All the little things like that will make a big difference.

So time to get in to shape. No bullshit. No excuses. Let’s do this – the right way.
