Slacking and Slacking Some More! UGH!



Slacking has not been something that has happened in the writing and working out side of my world, it's blogging I've been slacking with. It's not okay. I need to make sure I am holding myself accountable and blogging to update the one person that reads my blog (points to myself) what I'm doing.


Okay so I got Beach Body on Demand and I'm really into it. I got it from my friend Josh so I'll give you his link. Click HERE! I have been doing Hip Hop Abs, but I can do whatever I want. There are so many streaming workouts Insanity, P90X, and so many more that make me feel like I'm really working out.

Hip Hop Abs actually hurts my abs so I know it's working somehow. The eating this week has been sporadically okay. I didn't stick to my shakes everyday for lunch. I had some other food. It's been a bad week I lost a tire and a laptop so I felt like it was okay to have a little bit of food.

My daily shake consists of
Peanut Butter
Body by Vi Powder
Chocolate Pudding Powder
Half a Banana
Almond Milk or 2%
I have it for breakfast and lunch with a snack of 5 crackers and cheese and a bag of popcorn. I pretty much eat what I want for dinner in moderation.

I plan on doing Hip Hop Abs everyday except for Sunday for 3 weeks and then talking about my results.



Ghostwriting has taken over my life....

I've been just doing it mostly. I have written a little for myself, but I have been cranking out the words for real with the ghostwriting. I've needed money so it's been nice, but I have to try to get some of my own pages done this weekend. 

Here's a video I made in case you want to know more about ghostwriting!! 








I released a new novella that's in a series with several other authors! It's called Heady Velvet mybook.to/headyvelvet


Alice Plume is a carefree spirit. She doesn't get worked up about much-- how could she when her son-n-law owns a secret sex club? 

While she's fine with the fact that her daughter lives a life surrounded by kink, she's never had any desire to venture further into the lifestyle--or even the club itself--other than catering a party or two. But then, she meets Knoll Seaton. 

Knoll is the sexy personification of the 'silver fox--a real estate mogul with a voice that makes her insides melt, and touch that makes her want to beg. He's also very much into the club lifestyle. 

Alice isn't sure that she can change her perception of sex to meet Knoll halfway...but Knoll isn't one to walk away from something he wants. And he wants Alice.

Thanks for reading!

Time to Sweat! and Ink and Um..




 Welcome and Happy Thursday!

  

So I have been a lazy smurf and not gotten the working out I needed to get done done. My brother went home to our parent's house for a week so the running came to a halt. I know I should just go out there and run on my own, but I'm lazy I admit it!




THIS IS HAPPENING STARTING TOMORROW 
While I've kept up the shakes and am not overall unhappy with my body, I could be a lot happier with it in a bathing suit, but of course it's too late because vacation starts tomorrow.




Writing has been going well. On top of about 4 ghostwriting jobs O.O I've been plotting out my novella for The Club, and TWO new paranormal series. One is YA and one is more adult.
I'm really excited about all of these projects and trying to find a way to work on them all together and separately.

Comment below and tell me what you are working on! Is it one project, several, or nothing. I am finding Scrivener to be VERY useful!



Also I'm on the YouTube now so if you want to check me out I post on Fridays. Tomorrow's vlog will be about Ghostwriting!




as always thank you for reading and Subscribe to my channel you know if you want to and all. Bye!

Making Some Changes for the Better

THIS is how I felt this morning. 

I did not want to get up AT ALL!



So, I know I don't always make the healthiest choices. I crave salt most of the time so if a pickle isn't nearby then I am going to eat chips. I have made some changes in my daily eating habits for what I think is the better. It definitely will cut down on my calorie and sugar intake.

The switches are;
2 % to Almond Milk for my shakes
Creamer to Fat Free/Sugar Free Creamer
More oatmeal
TRYING More water.

I joined the IdealShapeup Challenge so that I could work out everyday besides just the running. It has 20 minute workouts and they email you 6 a week so you have one to do a day. They are videos and they do the workouts real time with you. I like doing workouts real time.

I skipped Sunday night because we went to a cookout and I was back late, but the workouts are for 6 days so Sunday can be my rest day!

I so want to try this shake. 

It looks good as heck.. << I've been watching Napoleon Dynamite again.

So running today and I'm going to try to keep up with my (22 year old) brother who always outruns me. The reason it's almost time for this to happen...

Looking at the graphic gives me hives. Wish me luck on my run and with my workout. I also added this fun little 5 minute push to the end of my IdealShape workout yesterday. It's hard man, try it.


     

       




So on to the writing part. I have taken on some more ghostwriting jobs and this is good for me to stretch my creative muscle. I do have to finish my chapter for Friday for Ice Shift this week and a short horror piece for my blog on top of that and working and working out! It will be okay though because I just have to do it.




 I wrote this fun short horror story yesterday about my experience with the Charlie Charlie Challenge. Don't read if you're prone to nightmares.

Ink and Sweat Born From Procrastination


If You're Here for the Sweat Read On
If You Want to Skip to the Writing Part Go to The Writing Part GRAPHIC below!




BELOW THIS NEW POST YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST POST I POSTED ABOUT BODY BY VI BECAUSE I AM STILL USING IT AND STILL LIKE IT. IT WAS NOVEMBER ''14 when I STARTED and here is what I look like right now for comparison.


Now to me and probably you this doesn't look like much of a change, but these are my stats. Can I call them stats? In the below picture with the PJs this was the case.

172 pounds and 37 ' waist


In the lovely picture above I (currently) weigh 164.5 pounds and have a 35 ' waist so you can see Body by Vi has helped with my weight even though it isn't quite obvious in the picture.

THE OLD POST

***
Let's get it right out of the way. Here's my before picture. I know it's glamorous the pajama pants, the cut off head. I'm not where I want to be.

Now I'm no slouch. I work out in the mornings Monday - Friday. Usually I do cardio and weights alternating leg, abs, arms etc. I also run about two miles every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. I don't eat that horribly, but I could always do better.

I am starting Vi because I don't lose weight the way I used to. I'm 31. Hang on I'll get you a picture of my top half. :)


There I am! Okay so it's been a week (I realize at the beginning of this post I said 3 days, but I slacked off on finishing it until now) and I am learning what I like and what I don't I haven't lost any weight as of yet, so I will keep you posted. The next post I will tell you about my struggle with being hungry, the pudding incident, and overall experience. This was just to introduce you to me and VI!
***
Here is what I did today.
I only did one round of the first workout because I did the Kettlebell workout first.

I did 50 squats because I felt guilty



I also couldn't do the windmill correctly so I have to do a bit of research on that one.


I have several things going on in the writing department. I knocked out ten thousand words in two days which was a huge record for me. I felt like I was whoring my words because I am writing them for someone else and won't use them myself at all. I need the money so cranking out that much was worth it. It would have been worth it had it been accepted, but my story was too dark (that's the normal thought) and the guy is an ass.

SO it wasn't accepted and I don't know if I have it in me to write another 10 k in two days.

Next I started a series for this site, this is a place people pay to read series.

https://channillo.com/

Here is the story I am writing. It releases every other week.


Tonight I shall finish up two short erotica stories that I am also being paid for. More word whoring. -sighs-

Thank you for reading this!!
