Video Update.

Training continues...

Just a short check in to let you know how things are going.

I think I am finally adjusting to life without caffeine. Thank goodness!

Day two down in cellulite control.

This morning I was feeling well enough to go to the gym and work on my squats and lunges and take a spinning class. I also managed to get my butt into REI and buy magnesium for Survival Skill Sunday.

Things are looking good!

I hope you can all come by and work on game playing and puzzles tomorrow at the gallery. It will start at 1 and go until 4. Bring the kids.

Also, remember to check out the video toolbar at the right to see my latest escapades (or mundane ramblings) via You Tube.

Check back with you all tomorrow.

Here's Jeff Probst saying goodnight! Okay, maybe he's not really saying goodnight but you can imaging he is...

Survivor Update...

I am focusing on all areas of training... some are the basics - food, shelter, fire, and physical stamina.... others are not so obvious....

If I'm going to be on television I don't want everything hanging out all over the place - that's where my cellulite control program comes into play. Today I started wearing my Lytess Slimming Corrective Belt.



Basically it's a tube top for your tummy which is supposed to reduce the appearance of cellulite if you wear it over the course of a few weeks (six days a week, 8 hours a day)... I find it kind of comforting - like I'm getting a big hug from a piece of cheese cloth. We'll see if it works.

So... in case you didn't watch last nights episode of Survivor I'll catch you up... there was a challenge, you can watch it Here. The clip is about 9 minutes long... anyways, the lessons learned from this clip is that I need to get an attractive one piece swimsuit because I don't want them to have to fuzzy out my private parts too often and I shouldn't even think about wearing a bikini.

Basically Candace was voted out because she was the "cancer" of the group... Therefore I think I should work on those social skills a bit more.

Okay, I think that's it for today - if you're expecting more sorry.....

and to a stuckist you can suck it.

I've ordered the bugs!

On Survival Skills Sunday (March 1st) I will be working on my outplaying skills.

On the show Survivor there are challenges every few days for luxuries and immunity in the game. At some point in the season they invariably have a challenge in which a contestant is asked to eat some sort of food native to the locale of filming. The first season in Borneo they ate grubs, in China they ate baby birds that were still in their shell etc... (don't get me started about when they had to drink cow blood...ewww).

I figure to up the ante when it comes to me outplaying my competition I should eat more "risky" foods.

Since I don't usually venture out of my comfort zone I'm going to start small by eating something like sushi - yeah, I'm sure you're probably thinking what in the hell is wrong with that girl that she doesn't eat sushi??? well, I've just never gotten into it. It's all in my plan to work up to the bugs.

I found some nice Crick-etts on Amazon.com that I will have at the gallery for everyone to try. I think they come in a variety of flavors such as salt and vinegar, bacon and cheddar and sour cream and onion. Yum yum!

Okay, that's it for now... I hope to have a video update for you all soon. I have a new laptop with fabulous video editing capabilities... now I have to get on Survivor so I can pay off all of my computer purchases.

Oh yeah, I'm still looking for boyscouts to teach me how to build fire. If you know of anyone hook me up! I like boyscouts.

Today in Training!

I will work on the following things today in order to become the ultimate survivor.

I will be working on my acceptance of a restricted diet (roughly translated to mean that I will follow my Weight Watcher points allotment for the day).

I am going to work on my physical conditioning (going to the gym and trying something other than spinning class).

I will also be working on getting along with others. The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is on and it's sometimes very hard to be nice to these people with their arms full of potting soil as they block your way to the elevator when you're trying to back to work after a long lunch.

Please grant me the serenity to become the ultimate survivor.

Video from the opening.

I'm still trying to get into the swing of things but here's a video I took at the opening on Saturday.

You're probably wondering why I want to be on Survivor.

That's a really good question. I think it comes down to two basic things. One, I want to be on television and two, I want to win the money so I can pay off my student loans.

Those seem to be good enough reasons to me.

Okay, here's an update... the video that I posted of myself earlier was taken yesterday in the conference room at work. It was during lunch, I had the headache of caffeine withdrawal... I Had to take a nap... yes - the lights were off, yes - you couldn't see me, yes - I'm not a professional... that's all I've got for now.

and yes - I'm feeling better.

Everyone get your puzzle face on and come down to the gallery on Sunday at 1pm to help me with my puzzle strategies. There will be snacks. If no one shows up I might cry - and we wouldn't want that now would we?
