Song of the Week: "Your Love's A Drug" by Leighton Meester

It's a good song...........that is all.  Enjoy!

New Show: Ringer

So there's a new show coming to The CW this Fall called Ringer.  Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, it looks like a really interesting show.  Here's the press release as well as a video promo...

Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as a woman who, after witnessing a murder, goes on the run, hiding out by assuming the life of her wealthy identical twin sister - only to learn that her sister's seemingly idyllic life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she's trying to leave behind. Bridget is six months sober and starting to turn her life around when she is the sole witness to a professional hit. Despite the assurances of her FBI protector, Agent Victor Machado, Bridget knows her life is on the line. She flees to New York, telling no one, not even her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Malcolm. In New York, Bridget reunites with her estranged twin, Siobhan. Wealthy, pampered and married to the strikingly handsome Andrew Martin, Siobhan lives what appears to be a fairy tale life - a life where no one knows that Bridget exists. The sisters seem to be mending their frayed relationship, until Siobhan disappears mysteriously, and Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister's identity. She discovers shocking secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but also about Siobhan's best friend, Gemma, and Gemma's husband, Henry. And when someone tries to kill Bridget in her sister's penthouse, she realizes she is no safer as Siobhan than she is as herself
.

I personally think that the show looks AWESOME!  What do you think?

Jeff Conaway in Coma

According to this link Jeff Conaway is in a coma and listed in critical condition after an overdose of pain pills.  I find this so incredibly sad.  Grease is one of my favorite films and he was awesome in the role of Kenickie.  I saw him on Celebrity Rehab a while back and it was very clear to me that he needed help then, and it saddens me that he has not been able to get it.  My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during this time, I'm hoping for a recovery and I hope this is the wake up call that he needs.

Weigh-In Wednesday

Weight-Loss Goal for the Week: 1.5 pounds
Actual Weight Lost: 1.6 pounds
Total Weight Loss to Date: 17 pounds

thoughts: I was really happy, I was only .6 pounds away from getting back to where I was before the weight gain from graduation week, so I thought shooting for a 1.5 loss would be great because it would put me back on track plus a little extra.  And I lost it!!  So now I'm completely back on track and looking forward.  I'm feeling so great and have regained my confidence in myself.  I  can't wait for next week!

Hope for the Hopefuls

I have been trying to post this particular blog entry for 8 days now.  EIGHT DAYS, people!  Blogger has been one stubborn mofo lately but now that it's working for me again, it's time to get back on track.  

So, story time:  last summer I auditioned for The Biggest Loser.  Yep, that's right.  You probably already know from the fact that I am doing Weight Watchers and do the Weigh-In Wednesday post (coming soon I might add) that my weight is a bit of an issue for me.  It hasn't always been that way, but for the last 10 or 11 years it has.  I was super skinny until I was about 13 and then the pounds started coming on and they've stayed on.  Well, a year ago (May 2010) I decided I was sick of being overweight and decided to change.  I started journaling my food, allowing myself 2,000 calories a day and exercising every day to Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (an AWESOME DVD that I plan to do a review on at some point).  My efforts paid off: I had lost 20 pounds and was feeling pretty good.  Then I saw that The Biggest Loser was casting for season 11.  There was no audition listed for Michigan so I decided not to even bother with it.  But then curiosity got the better of me and I checked it out a couple of days later and lo and behold, there was a Michigan casting call!  It just so happened to be the day after a payday, on one of my days off, and about 10 minutes away from my aunt's house downstate!  It seemed like it was a sign, everything had fallen into place and I was going to audition for the show and blow them away and be cast.  My life was going to change!  Except it didn't.  Well, actually it did but not in the way I was expecting.  I went to the casting call, talked to the casting director for about 60 seconds and that was it.  I never got a callback, nothing.  Feeling discouraged, my weight loss journey stopped until I joined Weight Watchers this past March.  It turned out to be a blessing in disguise though, because had I been cast I would have had to take time off of school, preventing me from finishing this year.  Casting for season 12 has already come and gone and I was too busy with school to go for it.  Will I audition for season 13?  I go back and forth on that, right now I'm leaning towards yes but we'll see what the future brings.  The difference this time is that if I don't make it onto season 13, I won't let it get me down like it did for season 11.  I'm going to continue my journey and finish strong!

Anyway,  I wanted to share a blog with you all.  It's called Hope for the Hopefuls and it was started by a woman who tried out for season 12 and didn't make the cut.  It's about her weight loss journey and is a community for others to talk and share stories about their own journeys as well.  Check it out, it's a great blog!
