Helping a Worthy Cause.

My friend Will has been a huge fan of mine throughout my weight loss. He has been there for support and to congratulate me when I have needed it. He is starting a website where he wants to get successful weight loss stories and put them into one website, so people who are having trouble with their weight can decide what to do or how to start losing weight, they can look at the stories of others for motivation. He also wants to really be an advocate for weight loss because of how extreme the obesity crisis is getting. As well as I and many others.

The website is called TransformationPics and it needs more motivational weight loss stories. So, I know all of you out there want more people to view your blogs, just like I do. This is basically free advertising of your site. I think it is also cool, how each of us has our own unique story. No one is exactly the same, no one lost weight exactly the same, but everyone made it work for their lifestyle and that's what matters! That is how I think I started succeeding in my weight loss, I looked at other things other bloggers were doing and incorporated some of those things into my weight loss.

So do me a favor and click on the link and check out the website. It basically in its baby stage right now. I would love to get more people's stories on this site. I know when I first was trying to lose weight, I had no idea what to do or how to start. The first thing I did was go onto Google and typed in weight loss blogs/stories. Once again, shout out to the man Tyler for his blog and basically showing me it is possible for anyone to lose weight. At any size, if you are determined to lose weight, you will.

If you end up sharing your story, please do not hesitate to just stop there. Blog about it on your website and keep the stories coming! We need to motivate the people who think it is not possible. We need to change the statistics of the future of obesity.

Done.

I just got done taking my last final of the semester. It is the biggest weight of my shoulder now. I am currently blasting all genres of music in my house or if your a creep, just look at my Spotify on my Facebook account. I feel bad for my little brother who is trying to watch the finale of Community.

It has been a long, drawn out semester. It was totally worth it because I had awesome profs and I really learned a lot in each class. There were times when I thought I was going to die of boredom in some classes or just not make it through another lecture. But I came, I saw and I conquered the SHIT out of each of my finals... At least that's what I think. I hoping for above a 3.5 GPA this semester. So we shall see in a week or two when grades are up.

Thank you for understanding for my lack of posting this past week but school is a higher priority.




The storm is over, now bring on sweet summer time baby!

Review: I Ate a Pint of Ice Cream

So, I have been busy with school lately since it is coming to an end. Thank you baby Jesus. I really enjoy my classes and my teachers but it is time to be done. I currently have to write a paper, look up information on prostitution and physician-assisted suicide ( how fun! ) and start a take home exam. Easy peasy right? Oh, did I mention my computer crashed and died on me and I had a power point on it that I needed to do a presentation for... yeah gotta love this time of the year. So, I need to find a new computer. Any suggestions computer n3rds?

Ok anyways, getting back on track. I was writing my paper for criminal law and I had the urge for some ice cream. I went to Good Harvest foods a couple of days ago, which by the way, I am their newest member. Holla!




 I bought a pint of Arctic Zero ice cream. This stuff is awesome. And let me enlighten you on why you should drop everything you are doing and go and buy this stuff.


I bought Vanilla Maple this time but last time I bought Cookies and Cream. Doesn't matter, they were both amazing. So as you can tell from this first picture there is 14 grams of whey protein in this! For those of you who don't know, whey helps build muscles. It is also FAT FREE, lactose intolerant friendly ( I feel bad for you people) and gluten free.


It also has 8 grams of fiber...we all know what fiber does. No need for me to explain. It's Made with organic cane sugar and has chicory root to boost calcium absorption. Yay for strong bones!







But seriously guys and gals, if you love ice cream try this out. You can eat this whole pint for 150 calories! you cannot do that with Ben and Jerry's or Haagen-Daz. I ate this whole pint tonight and I don't regret it one bit. I honestly wish I had another. If you want more information on them go to My Arctic Zero. You can find out if they sell this stuff by you and they have 85 calorie bars you can try.
