Loosing Weight Post 3 : Dancing :)

The easiest way to shed pounds, build muscle and tone your body every where ???

DANCING !!!!

So easy and so fun !!!!

I try to dance for half an hour every day. It really gets you going, makes you sweat and builds confidence !
I do it in front of a mirror and practice new moves.
I mix hip-hop with belly dancing :)

For some music, try Shakira Hips don't lie. Always works for me.
Today I found a new song I love..
Holding out for a hero by frou frou

And yes I'm making a dance for it :)

Turn on any music you love, and dance in front of a full length mirror to see how much of your body is working :)
Don't forget water !!!!!

Thumbs up for a short post because I needed a break from dancing ;p

Long Lasting Make-Up : How I Keep My Face On

Today I'm going to show you how I keep my make-up on all day, through working 11 hours, being in the heat & once in awhile sleeping !
I know sleeping in make-up is bad but some nights I'm to tired to even change clothes, let alone wash my face :s

Here are the products I use most often :

Now everyone is thinking : Holy Moly !!! She puts all that on her face ????
LOL
Sadly yes, I can't stand going out without make-up if I'm dressed up....
Here is the list :
Foundation : Maybelline Fit Me - 350
Powder : Maybelline Fit Me - 350
Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer
Maybelline Eye Shadow Trio in Smokey Surprise
Hard Candy Walk the Line liquid eyeliner that is supposed to help your lashes grow :)
Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara ( When I'm wearing fake lashes. I wear Loreal Voluminous  the rest of the time because Falsies flared likes to flake on me...but not my friend :s)
Victoria's Secret Lip Liner in Warm Honey
Loreal Infallible Lipstick in Forever Frappe
Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss in BANANAS !

Woah...that's a lot, my hand cramped up. LOL

One good thing is that besides the Urban Decay Primer, all these can be found at Walmart or Drug Stores :)


I'm not saying this is what I do everyday, that would be exhausting.
This is usually for work, or if I'm going out with friends :)
The rest of the time, I don't so much care.

Ok now the proof is in the pictures.
None of my make-up has been touched up since I put it on.
I will tell you how long that is in every picture :)


This is about 6 hours into my day and a few coffees and cigarettes


This is after about 3 hours of shopping :)


This is being outside all day with temperatures in the 80's


This is the make-up I did to go out with my boyfriend x, who proceeded to blow me off and I went to bed angry....


The next day I woke up looking like this...
LoOoL It was cold that morning...
Everything's messed up, but its still there ! hahaha


This is a crappy picture but it's after about 9 hours of working


This is after 15 hour day working, and is about how I felt lol


So trust me, it doesn't feel like a lot on your face, and as long as you don't rub it, it will last you all day and night !
Hope I helped !!!

Thumbs up for going to sleep with straight hair and waking up with curly hair....my silly strands.

Losing Weight Post 2 : MyFitnessPal

This will probably be one of the best tips I can give you if you are like me and trying to get into shape :)

GET A FITNESS DIARY

It is proven that people who actually keep a log of what they eat will lose more weight.
This is because we usually just guess at what we need, and easily forget that 6 a.m. Frappuccino and secretly eat that Hostess Strawberry Pie.....(ok, the last one is me...)

I have a Black Berry phone which is able to get apps. If your phone gets apps then search 'myfitnesspal' or diet log, or anything like that until you find it.

This has been my biggest help in my diet.
Not only does it tell me how many calories I take in, it tells me how much I need, it counts sugars and vitamins and pretty much everything.
 It keeps track of how much weight I gain or lose, my waist and hip measurements.
It keeps a log of my most frequent foods, my recent foods.
It tells me how many calories I burn when I work out,
It's just AMAZING !!!!!

Here are some example screen munches :)



See how easy this thing will make the diet for you ???



After you chose your setting, like age, weight, sex, how much weight you want to lose, ect. , it shows you what the healthy amount of basically everything is :)))



Easy as pie...not pie, how about an apple ? :)



Can't argue with these results :)


These either, I lost another pound !!!

Seriously, look for this on your phone, computer, whatever !!!
You need it !!!!
IT'S FREE !!!!!!!
Come on people, check it out !!!!

The one last tip I have for this, is that this will become your diary.
If you still have a diary or used to, you know the deal.
You tell it EVERYTHING.
THE GOOD
THE BAD
THE FATTENING
If you lie or keep secrets from it, its not going to help you :(

If you have any questions, let me know :)
I'll help the best way I know how to.

Thumbs up for belly dancing, as seen above as my exercise :D
Maybe a hint as to what my next diet post will be about ;)
