Awesome description of your run. I was thinking about looking into trail running soon. I feel at such peace running along the streets, I can only imagine on a trail, just letting go of your worries and doing what humans have been doing for millions of years, running through the forest.
Have fun on your cruise. That'll be a nice little gift for completing another marathon.

They look so cool!! There is a sex toy/underwear place in the UK called Ann Summers that I'm slightly obsessed with and I was going to work for them..But they wanted me to pay like £100 for a starter kit and then you have to organise partys and it's all comission based. Didnt feel confident enough to sell butt-plugs to women old enough to be my mother!! Hope they sell!!!!!

So this past weekend...recap:
I spent all of Thursday night and Friday and Saturday making these baskets! I have made like 13 baskets I think. They took quite a while almost an hour each, since each is different and unique. I made them as I would have liked to purchase them! Hard work, and I still have some mess to clean up because of them. I have stuff to make like 5 more baskets. Soon to come.
I decided that instead of selling them to people I know, which always seem to want it cheaper than they are worth, my mom told me about this HUGEEEE flea market kinda deal at the Rose Bowl in which thousands of people go to and you can sell basically ANYTHING you can think of out there! The booth would cost me $25, but at least I could really sell the baskets for $60-$80 and try to make back a large portion of the money that I originally invested in them, which was around $1200 a couple years ago. I had called it a loss a long time ago, so the fact that I made the baskets and took initiative is GREAT in itself! WOOHOOO!!!!
Since years ago, I used to stand at booths and sell cell phones, I know REALLY well how to catch people walking by and sell their ears off!! hahaha...I was one of the best! (not to toote my own horn! haha) ...but I don't fear strangers AT ALL...I'm figuring I could walk away with like $1020 if I husstle right...the Convention is June 6th or something!!!
On the Family front: Since I moved out, and told my mom that I wasn't giving her any more financial help, she stopped talking to me. It made me really sad, because it seemed like she only cared about the money. What about me?! It was almost a month since we spoke, but Mother's Day came around and I made her a card and wrapped it like a little baske LOL (since I was in the mode already) and gave her $100 and brought them 4 champange bottles! She was appreciative somewhat. It was nice, because when we don't speak for a long time, we just pick up where we left off like nothing happened. We all barbequed and I ate small small portions. The only thing that was a little extra was the champagne. Spent quality time with both of my brothers and we all played the paino and sang and danced.
It actually made me happy to hear that since I decided to stop giving them money monthly that they found their own means of reproducing the money by taking my step dad's art welding items and they sold 2 peices and made $570 dollars for the day on Mother's Day!! They were the ones who gave me the idea of going down there and paying for the little booth. They are motivated and excited at the opportunities they see for themselves & I'm happy for them!
As for the food front, I have been watching my portions more, though I still drink kind of a lot of wine...I mean a baby bottle here and baby bottle there amounts up to a lot throughout the week or I will do good throughout most days and blow it on 2 days! So up until this morning weight was the same!
My bf and I had a really really FUN LOVING weekend, we played and wrestled and were all over each other a lot this weekend. For some reason I felt sexier and it translates a lot to our bedroom activity when I am, and then his desire level goes through the roof too! Go figure...LOL!!! I felt slimmer though the scale hadn't resembled that along with some pants as well that didn't but it's OKAY!!!
...I also saw SO MANY INFORMERCIALS this weekend! One of them GOT ME!!!! I bought this... What it is ...is a SUPER CHOPPER BLENDER that can even blend rocks it's so strong. I decided that I wanted to give it a whirl again, and start a JUICING cleanse for 8 weeks! I am pretty sure I can do it, and having this machine is going to help. You can make sorbet out of fruit, chop ANYTHING in there and make hot soups in there too without killing the nutrition enzymes in it. Pretty much a RAW food LIVING food lifestyle like I did last year for most of the year.
...It was a good time in life and I'm ready for that again!
I'm GRADUATING ON THE 25th of the MONTH with a 3.7 GPA!! Woohoooooo!!!! It's so exciting!!!!
I've been seeing clients as well, but really stopped pushing as hard because I wanted some time to ME, I missed just relaxing and being me after work for a little and being able to run, but tonight when I get home I'm going to make a million contact calls and try and squeeze appointments out of it. Also, to invite the people to our networking mixer this week!
I've been seeing these commercials on TV for p90x like CRAZY! The results are amazing. But I also realize, that ANYTHING you do consistently for one hour will provide the same results if you do variation and muscle confusion. So NO. I'm not buying them. I have like 7 different Jillian Michaels cd's that could provide me the same thing...as long as I DO THEM!!!!!!!
Stella got her Groove back yesterday (meaning ME) when I went on my 2 hour 20 min run last night! I was full of energy and inspired and did about 8.5 -9 miles HUGE hills and ended up overlooking the entire valley. I feel my shoulders sore today but my legs are A-OK!!! I think I'm gonna go for a solo run tonight or maybe invite my running partner to do a FLAT course run maybe 10 miles tonight since I feel really really good about it! Should be no where near as hard as the hill run. It's good for variation. I really realized though that I need new RUNNING SHOES!!! My feet were hurting, lacking cushion.
...I have been taking vitamins, eating high Fiber cereal, little meals, and drinking water...and small portions. I only have 4lbs AWAY from seeing 140's which has been in FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I can do this!!!
"My body is a MACHINE! & My mind is the ENGINE!" Do it!

Awesome job with the baskets and running and all your general business. You're awesome. Always going, going, going. Whenever I get lazy. I just gotta think of you! Haha!
I used to do different charity booths at stores like Walmart and different events. Every time I saw someone who looked like they were having a bad day, I'd go, "Hey miss! Hey miss!" and then point at the ground. They'd start looking around like they'd dropped something. "Looks like you dropped your smile."
Worked 99 out of 100 times. Either that or sing the first half of the Oscar Myer weiner song and then ask everyone if they knew the last line. I can't tell you how many old ladies I've had singing that song outside walmart trying to help me. That was a hard job, but fun seeing who could come up with the most ridiculous ice breakers.

I really love those!!! hahaha..You are too cute!!!
That made me smile reading it!! ... Oh man, I used to say the CRAZIEST things too!!!...That's what you got to do to grab their attention.But it's so much easier selling to strangers than it is to people you know. For some reason, they have more belief in you than people you know, and people you know try to cheap shot you too.
Damn discount loving people. hahaha...You would have been a riot to stand next to selling stuff!! hahaha...and thanks!! I appreciate the comments.
I did think of you on my run last night too!!! Kept me going when I wanted to stop,..then I said NO!!!...not us!!!
(meaning me and you! hahah!)

So I haven't worked out since Tuesday....it's been all about getting my business right this week!!! The great thing is that when I focus! BAM!!! Clients!!! Love it!!!
...I'm actually getting referrals now too! ...My prices have definitely gone up because I see the value in my services not to mention, this BITCH has GRADUATED!!!!
...That makes me a "Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist!"
..I have a client coming in on Saturday for $150 a session, and is paying for 2 sessions ($300) so I can give him the 3rd Complimentary. NICE!!!
I love that I continually keep on studying for them all, to find better ways to help them and change the patterns in their mind. This client is for Gambling Addiction. The one tonight after my networking mixer is for relationship building with her 18 year old daughter. The funny thing is when she describes her daughter, it sounds like she was describing me at 18. I can relate a LOT! ...go figure. You attract clients that you actually end up doing therapy on yourself. I always tell myself, watch what you say,...because it goes for help to you too!
...Speaking of Patterns of the mind, though...I have started changing my OWN patterns!!! Saying positive affirmations, and doing the actions. Small Portions are becoming easier and easier by the day! I constantly remind myself that the food can remain there until later because it is OK to only eat half of what I served myself!!!!
...I do need to do DAMAGE CONTROL on the wine though! For some reason I could finish a baby bottle of wine and cut down the food to do so! Uggg....that needs to go. No calories needed there.
I was happy to SMASH 2 lbs this week though! Hope it keeps going next week. Actually, not HOPE, it will, because I will work for it tonight!
I've noticed that since I have all these damn baskets on the floor in the living room, it causes me to not work out in there ...weird.
I watched on Hulu.com the makeover Biggest Loser episode and CRIED my eyes out!!!! ...Damn. They are soooo blessed and grateful and that's how I felt when I crossed that MARATHON finish line! ...like a different person.
