I finally got my order from HoodiaHoodia.com. I ordered at the end of May and should of received it within a week but I didn’t get it. I waited and waited. Then finally yesterday, I realized it’s been almost a month, so I emailed them to complain that I didn’t receive my order yet. They checked it out and it seemed they mailed it to the wrong address. So I just received it today which was within 24 hours from the time I sent the email. They also gave me a free bottle too!! Thanks!!!

I completely did my research in finding reputable companies that sold 100% hoodia and not those fake ones from Ebay or other sites that claim it’s the real thing. There were only two companies that were legit and actually displayed their certificates on their websites. They are:

I have ordered from both places and have received both. I haven’t tried neither yet. In fact, I was going to try the HoodiaHoodia.com version with the fudge bars, and my sister was going to try the ones from Hoodia-Dietpills.com. That way we can see which one works better.

So I’ll probably be starting the HoodiaHoodia.com capsules tomorrow which I’m actually excited to try out. The Hoodoba ones (green bottles) is for my sister to try out.

Well, I have made a Hoodia category where my progress will be placed in. So subscribe to the rss feed and stay updated. Tomorrow will be the beginning.

30-Day Weight Loss Challenge

I haven’t been watching what I’ve been eating this past week due to it being my sister’s bridal shower celebration just this past Sunday…and boy do I think I’ve packed on the pounds due to all the yummy food and desserts that were there. They were just way too tempting!! LOL!

Oh ya…I guess I should mention I am now the maid of honour for my sister’s wedding due to a little situation we had. But “GO ME“! I’m definitely excited for that but that comes with a consequence too. EVERYONE will be staring at me!! Of course I want to look my best especially in the bridal party dress I got (btw…it fit!! I was so happy)…but I don’t want to look like a friggin balloon. That’s why I’m thinking about joining the Domestic Diva 30-Day Weight Loss Challenge.

There’s an entry fee of just $3 which isn’t much at all!! Plus, the winner at the end of the 30 days wins the cash pot of all the contributions from participating members. It runs from June 4- July 4 and tomorrow is the first weigh ins. What do you honestly have to lose besides all the pounds?

I think I really am going to join this challenge. It sounds like so much fun and you just weigh yourself every Wednesday - so a whole 4 times that’s all!! Of course you have to eat healthier and exercise more in order to lose any pounds. I think just participating in a challenge like this helps with the motivation and get you up and moving your butt.

So off I am to join the challenge. Wish me luck!!

Revived & Back Again!

I have decided to revive this blog from not blogging on here anymore. Why did I stop? I stopped because I stopped with the diet I was working on. It was just too…I dunno…hard I guess. Especially hard living at home where my mom makes amazing Portuguese meals and I can’t workout in private.

But that will all change probably sometime this year. What’s happening? Well, some of my new year resolutions where to get a full time job, move out into my own place, and then get healthier. I already got a call back from the place I applied at. I just have to return the call in the morning.

So if I get that job and start saving some money, then I’ll be able to move out into my own place. Then with moving out into my own place, I’ll get a chance to finally be able to live a healthy lifestyle. Yippy!!

I just hope it all works out! Really I do because I’m 22 years old and need to start getting my life together.

Gained some back *cries*

I’m very disappointed with myself. These past few weeks, I didn’t exercise or eat healthy. I don’t know what overcame me. I think my emotions are to blame, especially since I always seek out comfort food. It really was a disappoint. I even saw my weight going back up into the 290’s again. I freaked out and said enough Tina…ENOUGH!

So I weighed myself today and I’m back up to 288.5lbs. That’s 5.5lbs more than what I weighed at the beginning of August. I’m not happy at all. I’m trying to focus but it’s very hard especially if you don’t have support from your family or a friend who is going through the same thing.

I know that if I lived alone in my own apartment, I would be working it off without a problem. I’d be buying the groceries myself, making sure I stick to my workout routine, and watching what I eat. It’s difficult to do this when a.) your parents do the groceries in the house, b.) you can’t workout without someone commenting or putting you down, and c.) I can’t cook since my mom forbids me from touching her stove. And above all, it’s not like I can move out because I can’t afford it due to all my income going to my education bills. *sigh*

Too bad there’s no “easy way” to losing weight and keeping it off. Man, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just snap your fingers and be the right weight for your body type and age. *day dreams*

Some downtime…

Well, I haven’t got my cable internet setup yet which is driving me insane. My current provider will be done and over with this Friday August 3rd. So I’m not sure if I’ll have internet connection at all during that day. This completely sucks since I haven’t gotten a call back from the cable company even though we called a few times.

What happened was that I made a web order, received a phone call, and set up an appointment on July 21. The guy came to hook up the internet but ran into a problem since there was no cable connection coming in our house. The problem was that about 8 years ago we had a power surge because of the construction of building a house beside ours. Somehow they cut power and cable lines. At the time we didn’t know the cable lines were messed up since we had satellite tv.

So then the guy said that he had to put in a report and his manager would call the following Monday. Nobody called…so we called customer service. They said someone was suppose to call and put in another report. Nobody has called at all and I need the cable lines fixed outside in order to get cable internet inside. *what a headache*

Anyways, since the problem hasn’t been resolved yet, I won’t be able to update my websites at all. So consider this the last update until I get the cable internet working in my house. I’m putting up the twitter updates on my other blog just to keep you all informed on what on earth is happening. If you want to read all my tweets, you can check out my twitter page. Bye for now.
