It's a new year.....but not a new costume lol

SOOOOOOOO I was gonna really try to avoid being Gaga for halloween AGAIN for this year......

But alas, I cannot stop myself. And I am caving in and doing another Lady Gaga costume this year.... But not the usual hairbow dealio that so many people will probably be sporting this year. Nope. I will be doing the infamous LOBSTER HAT.



Yes, my clothes will be see-through. And YES I am going to wear a girdle to hide the pudge, and perhaps a nude bra, or gummy bra or just the pasties...we'll see what happens.

I pretty much have all of the materials to create the Phillip Trace Lobster Hat revival out of foil and glitter, and wiring. Just gotta get the wig and the pasties. NOT gonna worry about the shoes at all. Just going to wear some of my own.
I'm really excited about this costume, and more motivated to lose more weight to not HAVE to wear the girdle at all.

Having the wig and outfit there can provide me with the possibility of doing this outfit as well



or this



So excited about having this wig. Gonna buy it now :)

It's been a long time but I'm back in town.....and this time I'm not leaving without youuuuuuu!

WOW. IT'S BEEN A LONG WHILE.

Sorry for the hiatus. Crazy going on, and friends visiting and the like.
I haven't been doing as well as the beginning so I'm afraid to say there hasn't been much progress so back to work it is!

Gaga has been getting some crap lately for appearing to have gained a bit of weight, and showing it in her recent trip to Norway.



While she has appeared to gain a bit, she does NOT look FAT, as some people are claiming. And it is downright stupid to go from saying she's too skinny... to too fat. Where in the world does perfection lie? It seems like the whole world is confused.

Either way, I feel she looks fine, and I would LOVE to have her build even at this point. It's still skinnier than I am...so hey! It's not fat to me by any standard.

No matter the case, I need to get back on track and keep moving and grooving. No matter the shape Gaga is in when I see her next year, I want to be in the shape that I would like. Haha!

To stray away from all that for a bit~
My geeky juices are flowing...and these 2 games have my heart and soul right now <3
Can't wait for them to come out





Alright. Time to get a snack!

SUCCESS!

So, feeling the bravery to step on the scale.....I've come to find out....that...

I'VE LOST 8 POUNDS SO FAR

22 pounds to go! It seems so easy now! Just time and effort have played a part in this journey! And all the hard work is starting to pay off already! I want to get in gear and actually work out as regularly as I should and watch the pounds disappear faster!!

In other news of success....

I GOT TICKETS TO THE MONSTER BALL IN ORLANDO!!!!!!


I totally upgraded from 2nd seating section, to FLOOR! I plan to plant my butt outside Amway Arena all damn day long! And if things keep going the way they are going, I will be at my weight loss goal in time for it! The Ball is so damn far away, but at the same time, it gives me plenty of time to get in shape to dress up!!

7 months away and counting!

But yes, it has been a glorious weekend, and my weekend ends today at work. I do not want to go, and am sick today actually, but I need the money...so off I go!

Byebyenow!

Haste makes waist!

Sooooo~ Clothes around my middle are starting to feel and look looser!!!!!

So I put my belly to the test and tried on some shorts Wednesday at Charlotte Russe.
When I started I was a size 13....which has now gone to 11!!!
Wooo! Slow and steady! Even so, it is still happening! I'm psyched! Not gonna quit at this point!

Today every radio station is giving away Gaga tickets. Oh my lord. One station at 11:30 and one at 12. For the first one it was absolutely no hope whatsoever.
But for the second...I was number 6! The winner was number 9...
I WAS SO CLOSE UGH. It was crazy! I'm so sad that I didn't make it, but the fact that I was that close to it is amazing. It was busy FOREVER. But I kept on trucking. Ahhhhhhh

The fact that I could have won an iPad as well is crazy. I would have just sold it, because I don't really want an iPad...but damn. SO CLOSE.



I'm debating with myself to whether i want floor tickets or seats. Since the people who get the packages get first dibs on close standing....I don't even know if it will even be worth getting the floor tickets. What to doooooo?

Today I'm heading to visit my Dad! Probably going to have a cheat day~ but hey, it's vacation-y time~!
I'm going to try to keep walking, maybe walk my mom's dog tonight to get my walk in!
I'm going to try again at 4:30 and 5 to win tickets again. I'm sure there will be ticket giveaways for a while. The concert's not til next year. I'm guaranteed to see the woman next year regardless...so I'm okay~

Thin Little Monster . . . OUT!

Bah

Job hunting didn't happen yesterday :( Gah.

Getting ready to head out to work here soon in a minute. Home alone most of the day and lonely :(
It's dark and dreary outside and I haven't hand much energy but I've been practicing dancing a bit so burning some random calories and not eating crazy so it's been a good day thus far! Not excited about working tonight, but hey, gotta make that money. My paycheck was horrid last time and I only work 2 days this week. But because of class and such I don't have the time to go job hunting.

I actually need to focus on some homework when I get back tonight. I have not been in the mood to get anything knocked out.

Last Sunday we did end up going to Disney World and of course I was well prepared with my minnie clip on ears!


We walked to and from the Hollywood Studios park from Disney's Boardwalk Resort (about 15 to 20 minutes each way) also walking around the park, and making good food choices during the day seemed to keep me on track! Yay!

Because of lack of money and such i will not be purchasing the Orlando Monster Ball Tickets at all. It would be nice to sell Miami tickets and get better ones for the one that's practically in my backyard. :/
Ah well. Either way, I get to see Mama Monster regardless.
I'm so looking forward to this day that it doesn't even feel like it is extremely far away!
Seven months away!
But that does provide me with a lot of time to lose and maintain my weight!!! C'mon body! Let's get ready for this! I wanna dress UPPPPPPP.
Super excited, whether I have to travel 3 hours to see her or not.

Welp. I'm about to leave.
As you were soldiers!

Ballin'

So just a couple of days ago Gaga announced more Florida dates!
I already have tickets to see her in Miami, but she just announced that she's doing a date at the Amway Arena in Orlando where I live.
But get this, it's the DAY AFTER my birthday. Soooooooo~ my plan is to purchase tickets for Orlando, if I can get better seats than I have for Miami, I may sell my Miami tickets, OR just go to both shows haha. I want this to happen haha. But of course there's always money to think of. Ugh money.
Either way I know I'm going to be seeing Mama Monster next year, and April is when I'm supposed to be reaching my goal weight! Gogogogo!!

Speaking of money, today I will be job hunting! Because of various reasons with LC hours, and things I need a second job, and if possible, maybe just switch jobs.

A restaurant job would be good and bad

Good: Tips = lotsa cash (hopefully)
Bad: Surrounded by food that's bad for me so I really have to flex that healthy choices muscle :(

Shoes.

I stumbled upon these amazing boots~~



THE HEEL IS A HEART.
MUST. HAVE.

I must say I do love unique shoes. All of the shoes my friends and I have purchased in Japan have been unique and stylish.

It's no surprise that those infamous heel-less boots Gaga was seen with months ago are from a Japanese designer



Would love to be loaded and score a pair of those too! Haha!

Oh hey! Boot version of heart heels!



---------------------

When I have a figure instead of flab I'm eyeing this getup still:



My work pants keep feeling looser and looser! YES!
Might be time to buy a new pair soon!!! When I bought those pants they were such a big size I was mortified. The fact that they're starting to loosen is really a good sign. Like I've said before, noting the fitting of my clothes versus the scale is easier and less stressful for me.


Todays eats have been in line with the calorie counting! Though I don't believe I've consumed enough raw fruits and veggies, though I am on track for the amount. Not exercising today because of my schedule, but will be clubbing tonight. Alcohol calories will be accounted for in my daily intake, and I am gonna dance some off!
Haven't been very active today however so not a good day. Feeling sluggish. HOPEFULLY going to Disney tomorrow and all that walking will be good! And Disney has some pretty good healthy options as far as eats. Might still bring some snacks that will keep me in the zone!

Not in the mood to do homework but it must be done, ugh.
Alright, going to go ahead and focus my time on that.
