It’s Grindhouse, bitch

I swear I am not getting paid to advertise these - they just really really work at keeping you hydrated, flushing out your systems, and of course - they're yummmii, duh!!!

Seriously - I really have to credit sooo much of my first week weight loss success to Crystal Light. I lost 6 pounds in 7 days by like maybe 3 days of cardio and not really changing what I eat (except for cutting out fried foods and sweets) but really, just drinking lots and lots and lots as often and as much as I could.

For one thing, liquids really DO fill you up (have about 2 crystal lights before one of your big meals - trust me, you won't be able to eat as much as you normally do). Two, you'll have to be tinkling every 10 minutes (not really - more like every hour or 2 - which is good and healthy).

Keeping hydrated seems like such a simple thing to do - but honestly, I do have to make an effort to remember to drink BEFORE I become parched. And I was always a skeptic, but really I'm not bloated AT ALL, my skin is clearing up faster than I could imagine, and I feel good and not so sluggish!

Now, drinking water and other yummii beverages, I'd say is the easiest part! To cut out booze and cola is fine, I'd rather save those calories for yummii solid food. But cannot lie - dieting (life change) is hard...I mean I'm really CHANGING MY LIFE - everything I've known and done for the past 21 years is getting altered...so I wouldn't expect that too be easy.

I'm starting with gradual change (just saying no to fried food and desserts), light cardio, drinking more water - but the more I learn about nutrition and being healthy, the more I want to change - and that is the ultimate journey.

I have 74 more pounds to go until I hit my goal...

Long ways - but what - WHAT ABOUT BOB? - baby steps!

Day 11 - Still going strong!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

I don't know what I was thinking!!!

I woke up this morning and was like I FEEL AMBITIOUS - lets do something funnnn to kick of week 2 and the start of my day...

well, once again a brilliant idea of mine turned out to be not so brilliant!

LOL.

kidding. I feel much better now - but seriously thought I was going to pass out. I think I'll just do one cardio session today!!!

oh and omg. I know my skin looks just like terrible with the lighting/angle/lastnight's foundation - but seriously. since I've been on my diet it is looking 1739892020 times better...this is like one sheet of makeup from yesterday but usually I have to cake it on all over, put blemish stick everywhere, powder, blush, bronzer, concealer - but really - eating better really does wonders...when it looks 100% - no nastiness - I will get all up close and show...lots of water tooo! that might be the trick - something is working!!!

ANYWAYS -

the point is - NOW I feel great.

and Universal Studios is one of my favorite places in the ENTIRE world - right up there with Disney Land, Graceland, Hawaii, Medieval Times, and Grauman's Chinese Theatre - those are my great wonders of Trisha World...

ooo - and ummmm, yeah, have you ever gone to an amusement park by yourself??? well - I have - more than once...haha...but today I felt extra dorkii because my shirt said conan o'brien so I sort of looked like a tourist - so yeah, all the photographer people/employees that want to take a group portrait when you first walked in - came up to me and was like COMMEMORATE YOUR MEMORIES AT UNIVERSAL HOLLYWOOD - so I'm like why not!?!?

so...

I whipped out my neon pink posterboard in my bag with my sign that read...

"I'M LOSING WEIGHT AT WWW.GRINDHOUSEBARBIE.COM"

okay - and get why this is brilliant, right - I take the pic and whatev and THEN when people go see THEIR own picciis - they see mine and want to go to my website -right?!? I also did this on the simpsons ride and jurassic park - but then it got wet and I kind of got in trouble -but whatevs...self promotion!!!

I loooove it...

ooo - I did buy a super cute universal hoodiie (that I've always wanted) and a $2.00 bottle water - such a rip but it was my life support!!!

you know what kind of surprised me even more than making it up those stairs - was the amount of people who were on the elevators - as you can see, I only ran into like 2 people on my way up...which is kind of saddd!

well - I'm going back this weekend!!! anyone want to come with??? we'll be taking the stairs...

STAY HYDRATED!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

Because I could just NEVER lose weight if I couldn't have any!

Seriously, I loooove sweets. I love cookies, brownies, cakes, pies, candy bars, krispiies, they are sooo yummii and I just love to bake them.

So yeah, while I may not be able to eat all of the above everyday -

I can eat Jello everyday!!! There's like nothing in it...just pure deliciousness. And while I understand maybe it doesn't do anything for your body - it does satisfy it in a very un-caloric way...which is key!!!

Watching re-runs of The Biggest Loser last week and I saw this on there - Bob was actually showing one of the teams about the banana sundae pudding from Jello brand and I was like - omg. no way! and he was right. The puddings, I believe have like 60 calories - which is like nothing...and in this video I said Jello had 40 - wrong...

JELLO ONLY HAS 10 CALORIES!!!

10 Calories! 0 Carbs!

That's like too good to be true, right???

Seriously. Its crazy but it really makes me feel like I am not deprived whatsoever. I eat one for a snack and sometimes I eat one after a meal - but heck you can eat one after every meal and it still wouldn't matter!!! So yum.

Also -

Does anyone know when the next Biggest Loser starts airing? Is it this week? I am sooo excited - now that show really gives inspiration! So excited!!!

On a side note: I have been keeping busy with lots of funnn projects, and I'm thinking a few of them should start airing in the next month! So I'll keep you posted either here, on my website, on twitter, facebook, myspace, all of the above, wherever! - got to love the internet, right?

Thank you all sincerely for your continued support, reading your comments really make this effort worth it! Brings a smile to my face!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

Trisha’s Diet Blog Day 4 – Swimming off the Pounds…

Sep 12, 2009 Author: grindhouse | Filed under: Uncategorized

It was such a beautiful day out and I figured I'd get some sun! Well, I also love to swim but I was like I don't want to swim because I'll be too tired to work out - then my sis was like um, Trish, that is a workout.

Which she is soooooooooooooo right...

I can't even believe it. I was like I could swim all day! And its funnnn and you can take breaks and you get sun and its sooooo California, right? Have to take advantage of all the perks LA has to offer! Also, like I said - I really am sooo not a good swimmer, I can but I look funnii doing it - so I do love to run in the water - waaaay easier than running on a treadmill - it feels like you're not even exercising.

Oh and the best part?

No sweat. I hate sweating -yuk! ha.

So yeah - luckily I have the pool all year round, but if you live somewhere that you can't be getting your fish on during the winter (um hello I grew up in the midwest) - try like rec centers or even the local schools...I don't know.

Basically, I am just trying to find what works for me. If you couldn't already tell by now, I am not really the conventional type and I get sooo bored sooo easily (total ADD) - so trying to switch it up.

Not a fitness or nutrition expert but I am feeling soooooooooooo great! Just after 4 days!!! It's soooo crazzzzy, I have so much energy!!!

Oh - and another tip - I've been sleeping about 7-8 hours, I used to be able to sleep 9-10 -but I've found sleeping more actually makes you more tired...but 7-8 seems to give me the perfect amount of energy for the day...just a thought, something to try!

I'll be soooo ready for weigh-in next week!

***bonus super cute pictures from the whole day - loooove being outside and with my fam and friends***

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

Trisha’s Diet Blog Day 3 – Don’t go on to the Scale…

Sep 11, 2009 Author: grindhouse | Filed under: Uncategorized

What scares me more than anything?

Weighing myself - I hate it. So why am I so obsessed with it? I don't know. I'm just hoping the answer will be found in my journey, so to speak.

Anyways,

Day 3 is not any easier - I think its almost harder than day 1. Please tell me it gets easier...anyone?

Woke up with a headache this morning and just had no motivation for anything - went shopping, however, found a super cute dress - and suddenly, I started feeling better...is that weird? haha. I love it.

So...

Got back from the mall and target - omg. how fun right? And went out to eat at the chicken cafe with my momma - so really...I am feeling MUCH better and alive. Actually, I am going to be going to a funnn strip aerobics class in about an hour - so I got cute little booty shorts and heels and of course, a new g just to get my sexxxii on - all packed up...going to be funnn funnnn funnn!

Also -

if you all have any helpful "eating out" suggestions - and not to gain all my 2 pounds back tonight...please please help me out!!! I am so nervous about that - I have very low will power, you could say.

And I didn't even realize I still had my glasses on - they're new! ha. and stronger - you like? I like getting my Jeff Goldblum on - perfect for when I go to school...I look smart, right?

oh wait - I am smart!

haha.

I digress!!!

It's the weekend - I am exxxcited, no work or school! yay!!! I'm going to have to find something good to do outside and try and get some more of what I like to call fun-aerobics in...enjoy what looks to be one of the last nice, sunny, warm weekends of summer!

Open to fun in the sun suggestions too!

Can you tell I'm open? Open all the time! Like a 7Eleven - huh?

Feeling goofy...

Which is good!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

Trisha’s Diet Blog Day 2 – Taking the Stairs…

Sep 10, 2009 Author: grindhouse | Filed under: Uncategorized

ohmygoodness, y'all, I was really out of breath by that second flight of stairs - not good.

But it's okay because that is EXACTLY why I am making this change.

I only had like 30 minutes at the gym so I decided to just do cardio and light weights which isn't a lot but well, better than nothing.

So when I was coming home - waiting soooo long for the elevator - I was like wait, I can even get more cardio in by taking the steps up...and that is exactly what I did. Its a tip that I have not been given but felt I should share because really this can apply to anywhere you are at - like the airport, the mall, amusement parks, parking garages...which is all I am going to be doing from now on!

Oh - and I weighed in at 187 today!!! I was sooo strict yesterday with only lean protein and vegetables - and I did about an hour cardio. But I won't weigh myself until next Wednesday (a week from when I started) because I know I can't possibly lose EVERYDAY...so I just don't want to get discouraged!

Thanks again for all your tips and advice - I will be trying them all (well except for the ones I can't do...like not eating) haha.

Feeling good!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish

Trisha’s Diet Blog Day 1 – Getting Started…

Sep 9, 2009 Author: grindhouse | Filed under: Uncategorized

I've always heard the hardest part of any diet is getting started!

So I figured - why not make this public and get the kick in the butt that I need?

Please understand that this is very personal and even though comments about my weight may not offend me or change the way I view myself as a person...I, like anyone else, do get sensitive. A little sting if you will.

So unlike my other videos, if you have nothing nice to say - don't say it, please! Thank you.

But seriously -

any and all suggestions on what you do to stay in shape, lose weight, maintain, be healthy, I really want to know.

So Day 1 begins...

And I have never been more excited about anything in my life!

Hugs and Kisses,

Trish
