5 weeks on my diet and exercise plan

So as of yesterday it has been 5 weeks since I have been on my diet and exercise plan. Since May 4Th.... I have been keeping A journal of what I eat each day and what exercises I do. Let me tell you it has been hard but fun getting back into all of my old clothes again :) Everyday I do my Winsor Pilate's circle workout and it has kicked my butt!!! Every other day I do Cardioke or the treadmill for 45 min. Every now and then I do kickboxing...... and every night I work out with 10 pound weights on my arms! I am down to a size 4 almost a size 2 :) and I weigh 115 pounds now and 5 weeks ago I was 128 pounds!! My goal weight is 108 or 101... Wish me luck!!!

Magic's in the Makeup

So tonight I was really depressed ... I guess just being a girl and I was starring at myself in the mirror and wondering WHO AM I??? esp with out make-up? So I took this picture with my cell phone ... it's me without make-up! No one except my family sees me with out my make-up on NEVERRRR! but here I am and I guess this is who I really am .... just ME!

FAMILY- LAUREN DUKOFF= my fave photographer

Family by Lauren Dukoff....This has to be one of my favorite books!! Lauren Dukoff is one of my fave photographers of this generation so far! she has taken photos of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom just to name a few and her story of how she became an artist is really a story that any one can relate to!This photo of Devendra Banhart was taken by Lauren Dukoff .... they were best friends in High School :)I keep her book right next to my bed because I love to look at it whenever i feel depressed and it instantly cheers me up....... her photos are so beautiful!!

Andy Warhol's Diary

I had this bookThe Andy Warhol Diaries many years ago but some how It got lost between the yrs 1992-1998 I just don't know what I did with it. So the other day I went to Half Priced Books and re bought it again. I didn't appreciate this book when I was younger and now that I am older I completely fell in love with it again! The cool thing about buying used books is that you never know the past history of the previous owner. When I opened the book the previous owner of this book kept magazine clippings of Andy and Halston  from 1990 and I thought wow this is totally cool!!!! So I turned to his diary entry of the day I was born to see what Andy was doing on that day... JANUARY 5th 1978... He was with Bianca Jagger and Halston and he writes DISCO QUEEN!!!!

SO BE IT
