YAY!!
It’s been 5 days since I’ve started my 10 Day Intense Start Up program, and I’ve lost 8 POUNDS!!
And I’ve not even been following as much as I should be.
Let me explain. One of the steps in my plan was to exercise every day. However, I overextended my elbow last week, and then after bartending on Friday night, I could barely use my arm for the next three days. Yes, I even put it in a sling, and iced/warmed. (One good thing about being an athlete who’s had various and multiple injuries is I know how to treat most of them) ANyway, point being I could’ve gone to the gym and got on a bike, or done some light cardio, btu I was lazy I chose not to. I chose to focus on the eating. I followed my eating plan to the letter for 4 days. I started to feel the difference on Day 3, but I restrined myself from weighing in or measuring. The point is to keep at it for ten days.
I slipped up last night and had myself a Rootbeer and some fries from McDonalds. . I couldn’t help it, I was soooo hungry and I was no where near healthy food, and I know that one MAJOR key thing is to not starve yourself. Starving yourself or cutting back on your calories too much puts your body into Starvation mode and it will start storing everything you eat, and you won’t be burning the calories you need to bur n to lose weight. ANyway, so I gave in, but all in all, that was the only soda I;ve had for 5 days (and I’m proud of that) and the only junk. And fries, while fired, and while salty, are still potato - a vegetable. (Yes, I can rationalize anything )
So this morning, feeling bad, I weighted myself. I knew I had to have lost at least 5 pounds, I can feel the difference in my clothes..and it’s 8 Pounds!!!
Tomorrow I start working out again, (My elbow joint is still tender, but I can work around it now) so I’m looking forward to continued results. And I won’t weigh in until my 10th Day. And I promise myself no more slippage.
Slippage is acceptable, but if it happens it’s not slippage anymore. It’s a bad habit.
I’ve been eating eggs and egg whites for breakfast, and I’m still nto bored of them. (And I’ve got smoe super fast easy recipes to share.)
Today I want to share what I’m having for lunch with you. It’s TUNA SALAD and as you can see when I tried to take the pic, Scarlet likes Tuna.
*Can of Flaked Tuna in water (Drained)
*Chopped Romain lettuce
*Chopped Baby Spinach
*Diced Green Onions
*Mustard and Olive Oil Dressing
It’s pretty simple. You choippe the romain up, chop the spinach up, toss themtogether in the bowl. Put the tuna on top, then sprinkle with green onions.
In a separate bowl, mix 2 or three teaspoons of mustard with one teaspoon of Olive Oil. Then drizzle over salad and mix in.
I think next time I’m going to add some cherry tomatoes, too. It’s not the best salad ever, but it’s good. And it healthy and full of flavor.
TIP:I always dice up the complete bunch of Green onions when I get them. I store them in a tupperware container in my fridge and the last 3-4 days (with the lid on) . I do this so I can just grab a tablespoon or two for my scrambled eggs in the morning, or salads, or whatever. It’s easy, and a good way to add flavor and vegetable to anything.

So the other day my Dad came over to bring me some of the artwork I’ve had in my parents house for years. I never felt comfortable having the nice stuff when I knew I was moving around a lot or traveling. SO my parents hung the stuff on their walls. I’ve decided I won’t be going anywhere for a while, so I figured lets set it up and make my condo look like an adult lives here.
I bought a new bedframe and mattress (OMG! I feel like I’m sleeping in a 4 Star Hotel) I also bought a new kitchen table and chairs. (I’ve had a used table for the past 5 years, with a mix matched set of chairs …I gave my old stuff to a co-worker who needed furniture)
Anyway, the point is when we walked into the kitchen, I saw Scarlet had made friends with a cat I was about to give away. CHeck it out. They get along much better than Scarlet and Mystery do.*grin*

Yeah, I have a few things going on right now. Alluring tales 2 on November 4th, Primal Male on Nove 28th, but today is SECRET THOUGHTS!
“Secret Thoughts: Erotique is packed with story after story written by these six authors, each with a unique feel and wonderfully layered approach to the art of writing erotica. I believe there is a distinct difference between that which is pornographic and that which is erotic, and these six writers accomplish that beautifully. This is a must have piece of work for anyone who is a serious reader and collector of erotica.” ~www.lazygeisha.com

Yuo can read how the SECRET THOUGHTS books came about RIGHT HERE
You can read some story excerpts, here, here, and here.
Here’s a short sample story from me…
CONNECTION
As a go-go dancer at a busy club, I get hit on a lot. Young guys, old guys, ugly guys and gorgeous guys. You?d think they’d hit on the strippers that worked the main stage, but it seems those that only tease and don?t show everything are more attractive to the men. I don?t make as much money as the strippers do, but it’s enough. Anyway, I rarely take anyone up on it because it takes more than a pretty face, or even a big tip, to keep my attention.
Carter managed to do it though.
He’d been dropping into the club every once in a while since I started working there six months ago. He always came in alone and I would feel the weight of his eyes on me as he sat at the bar and nursed a pint or two before quietly paying his bill and leaving. At first, I tried to flirt with him, to get him to come over to me. But I never got much of a response, and he never stepped up to any of the platforms, so I backed off and tried to forget about him.
Carter’s not ugly, but he was by no means the best-looking guy I’d ever seen either. He was just your average Joe that came in for the occasional drink. Except there was something about him that called to me.
Something about the look in his eyes when he watched me, when I shook my booty for him, made my heart pound in my chest and my nipples stand at attention. So one quiet night, after I’d basically given up on him, he finally came over and asked me out for a drink. And I, of course, jumped at the chance to get him alone.
The night I was meeting him for drinks, I took special care with my preparations. A long hot shower was just the start. I shaved everything. I mean everything. My underarms, my legs, and my pussy were all shaved completely bare. I shampooed and deep conditioned my hair, and while the conditioner worked its magic I aimed the showerhead between my thighs, and gave myself a fast, intense orgasm.
It was a smart move. I needed to take the edge off my excitement or I might really embarrass myself in front of Carter.
The pampering continued until there was no doubt in my mind that I was completely sexy and desirable. I picked out an outfit that I thought would encourage my quiet date without being too trashy, called a cab, and tried not to think too much during the short ride to the pub.
The Zodiac was a neighborhood pub, full of the familiar sounds and smells that most drinking establishments have, and I was immediately comfortable when I entered the dim room. Carter was already there, in a booth near the back of the room.
“Hi there,” I greeted him as I slid my bottom across the vinyl bench.
“Elise, I’m glad you could make it.” His deep voice rolled over me, and tiny bumps jumped out on my skin. Why does he affect me so strongly? It was as if my body already knew him.
Unable to stop myself I skimmed my own hands up and down my arms, needing to feel skin touching skin. With what I hoped was a sultry smile, I leaned back in my seat and tried to concentrate on having a normal conversation.
Soon, I was engrossed in our discussion about traveling and what being alone in a foreign country could teach a person. Conversation turned to how people kid themselves about who, and what, they were and about what really made them happy.
“Knowing oneself is essential to finding true happiness,” Carter said.
As open and honest as our conversation was, I felt as if he was hinting at something I wasn’t quit grasping. Not wanting to seem like the dim dancer with no brains, I just changed the subject. Lightened things up.
“So, why did you wait so long to ask me out?” The question came out sounding very blunt, and not at all like the flirtatious query I’d intended it to be. My cheeks heated and sent hot blood humming through my veins.
Carter’s full lips titled into a sly smile, as if he could read my mind. It was almost as if he knew all my innermost secrets and desires, and was just waiting for me to realize it.
My impatient nature got the best of me, and I gave up on pretending to want anything other than the hidden promises I saw in his dark gaze. After taking a deep breath I invited him back to my place for another drink.
Carter quickly agreed.
He may have seemed quiet and mild-mannered when we were in the pub, but the minute we entered my apartment his whole demeanor changed. He took charge immediately.

“Sasha White is one of my favorite authors of BDSM romances. She knows just how far to go with the BDSM scenes to inspire new fantasies for her readers, and she always does a splendid job of building a believable romantic connection between the Dom or Dominatrix and their submissive.
In WISH UPON A STAR, we witness a professional Dominatrix at work, along with her soul mate as he plays voyeur to one of her sessions. Nealon isn’t sure what his mission on earth is at first, but once he sees Sarah with her submissive client, he recognizes his soul mate immediately. The beauty of this is that Nealon isn’t himself a submissive – he simply desires a woman who can match his own strength, meeting him as an equal both in and out of the bedroom – something Sarah is more than capable of. “ ~ Jennifer at Wild on Books

“Alluring Tales 2: Hot Holiday Nights is a compilation of wicked fantasy tales written by seven brilliant authors. Each little story is in and of its own an exciting and enchanting journey into the life of two people that have their own fantasy to work out, each colliding at just the right moment, or just the right way for the sparks to fly.” ~ Night Owl Romance
Where have all the good men gone? Seriously.
Women often say it as a joke, but it’s a very valid question, Sarah Williams thought as she glanced around Diamonds, the exclusive club where she was to meet her next client.
“Your drink, Miss. Sarah.”
“Thank you, Lisa,” she said as she took the glass of wine from the topless waitress. “Is Mr. Redmond
here yet?”
“Not yet, ma’am.”
Sarah watched as Lisa sauntered away, breasts jiggling, ass wrapped in the red velvet and fur of half a Santa’s helper costume. She was an attractive girl, and Sarah briefly entertained the thought of what it would be like to play her. Except, despite the holidays, Sarah wasn’t at Diamonds for personal pleasure, she was there to work.
It was a nice club, but standing on the upstairs balcony looking over the railing she realized she was tired of the whole scene. It was always the same; full of people who were so completely wrapped up in their own fantasies that they couldn’t see the reality right in front of them.
Then again, that was how she made her very lucrative living. Somehow, she’d managed to go from being a woman who enjoyed dominating others to a woman who got paid to do it.
At first getting paid to do something she loved was a thrill, but then it became work. It became work because being the best at something drew people willing to pay for the best. Now, she had an extensive list of clients of who paid whatever she asked for her to spank their bottom – because it was a fad.
She cringed. When had BDSM become a fad?
Shit, when had she stopped looking for a good man, a good submissive, in order to cater to the many? Men who wanted her were everywhere, but where were the good men?
Sarah spun on her heel and headed for the rooftop patio. While she couldn’t pinpoint the exact date when her train had gone off the tracks, she knew why it had. She’d drifted from the close-knit community where she’d trained as a Domme because they’d let her. No one had called her to see why she’d stopped attending the play parties, or why she didn’t show up at any of the events. No one had missed her.
The cold air hit her skin as she stepped onto the roof and she shivered. She’d drifted because she had no anchor.
Tugging her little leather jacket closed Sarah walked to the edge of the building, leaned over the metal railing, and looked down at the ground three stories below her. People hustled along the sidewalk two by two, or four by four. Cars drove past, full of people out to have a good time. It was two days until Christmas and the people of San Francisco were rushing about, getting ready for family and celebration.
Heart heavy, Sarah tore her gaze away from the beautiful happy people below and looked up at the star-studded sky. It wasn’t often she could see even one star up in that sky. One of the pitfalls to living in the middle of a large city; the lights of all the high rises and skyscrapers often obliterated the night sky. But not that night. For whatever reason, the sky was blacker, and the stars brighter than normal.
She stood there for a moment, wineglass in hand, and wondered if she’d always be alone.
A yellow streak blazed its way across the sky and the childhood chant leapt from Sarah’s lips automatically. “Star light, Star Bright, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight…” her pause was less than a second, “and tonight I wish to find one good man to be my other half. I wish to find my soul mate.”
The falling star disappeared and Sarah bit her lip. It was silly to hope, especially when she knew that in – she glanced at the watch on her wrist – fifteen minutes she’d be entering one of Diamonds private rooms and going to work. It seemed like all she had these days was work.
Just as she turned to walk back into the club, a blinding flash went off. When the spots cleared from her eyes and she could see again, a giant had appeared directly in front of her.
And he didn’t look happy as he glanced down at his clothes, then around the rooftop.
Sarah gave her head a shake and took a step back. “Where the hell did you come from?”
“Earth?” He ignored her and shouted at the sky. “Gods be damned, not now! Couldn’t you have sent someone else?”
She peeked around him at the door to the roof. It was a good twenty feet away, and still closed. She took another look at the guy in front of her and knew he hadn’t come form inside the club. Denim jeans, biker boots and tight white t-shirts were not the standard mode of dress for Diamonds clientele.
Unease stiffened her spine. “Excuse me,” she said as she started to step around him.
That got his attention. His gaze snapped to hers and her heart stuttered. Lord, he was fierce.
Pure emerald green eyes gazed at her from beneath thick dark brows, one of which was dissected by a scar that ran to his hairline. Taut skin covered sharp features softened only by full sensual lips.
Excitement rippled through her. “Yum.”
“Here we go,” he muttered and held out his arms, as if for her inspection.
Blood heated and began to pound through her veins, everything else forgotten except the man in front of her. Tearing her gaze away from his mouth, Sarah took a better look at the rest of him.
He wasn’t exactly good looking, but there was something about him - an energy that was undeniable, and totally hot. Maybe it was the dangerous thing he had going on? Big, tough and rough were certainly words that fit. At least six and a half feet tall, and thick with muscle, he looked like a warrior from Sparta. Broad shoulders, contoured chest, flat stomach, trim hips, and long strong legs. He would be a wet dream in nothing but a crimson cape and a loincloth.
Ohh, and the passion that shone in those eyes. He would be a wicked ride, for sure.
“Do I meet with your approval?” he rumbled.
The sarcasm in his tone woke her up. It wasn’t passion in his eyes. It was anger.
Giving her head a shake Sarah straightened her spine and met his forceful gaze. “It takes more than a good body to earn my approval.”
“Whatever.” His muscled shoulders rolled, as if he were shaking off his own thoughts, and she wondered why he wasn’t shivering in the December air without a jacket on. “Let’s get this over with already. What can I do for you?”
“Excuse me?”
Large hands lifted, gesturing at her. “You called, and I came. I see no immediate danger, but your call got through for some reason, so you’ll have to tell me … What can I do for you?”
She pursed her lips and tried not to think about what she’d like to do with him.
Jesus, Sarah. Get a grip! Part of her realized she should be scared, a big bad biker dude just appeared out of thin air in front of her, but she wasn’t. Scared that is. A bit worried about her own sanity, yes. But not scared.

it’s nothing too drastic. Basically these are my steps for the next ten days. Things I will not waiver on.
1) Eat a healthy breakfast every day.
That means more than just a banana, or a glass of juice. This means cottage cheese or egg (or egg whites) at every breakfast, as well as fruit or vegetable.
2) Eat protien at every meal.
Main sources of protein for me are eggs, egg whites, tuna, cottage cheese and chicken.
3) Eat something every three- four hours fro 12 hours of the day. (3 meals, 2 snacks)
This means if I eat breakfast at 11 AM, (Remember I work nights, I sleep late.) my last meal has to be no later than 11 PM. (Which is reasonable for me since I usualy got to bed around 3 AM.)
4) NO SODA.
No diet Dr.Pepper. No Coke. No Red Bull. *pout*
Coffe or tea is allwed, btu I don;t drink coffee. I occasionally like green tea, so I think I might be drinking mroe of that in the next ten days, as just water can get boring.
5) Keep a Food Journal.
This is something that I find really helps me stay on track. I have created a meal plan for myself with foods I like, and will eat.(Tuna, porkchops, chicken, peanut butter, the fruit and veggies I like) I’ve done my grocery shopping and gotten rid of the things I have no will power against. (Chocolate, soda, chips and pizza)
In my food journal, the first page is my plan. I have created 15 meals I can mix and match, that use a lot of the same ingrediants. Using a minimum of ingredients is important to me because I am single, and I cook only for me, so this means I don’t buy a lot of food at one time because it goes bad unless I eat it within a few days. So when I have a dozen eggs, I find multiple ways to incorparate them into meals. Same with a case of chicken breasts. Make sense?
6) Physical Activity Every Day.
This means more than cleaning my house, or waiting on customers for 8 hours. This means walk, jog, strength training, work out for a minimun of 20 minutes every day.
My plan is just to remind myself that this is for 10 Days only. Then I’ll ease back a little, and let myself eat some differnt things, and have a day or two off from workingout a week. But I will Always, for the rest of my life, have to work out at least 3-4 days a week. This is something I can not let go, not if I want to get, and stay, healthy.
This is MY plan, created from years of being an athlete, then being a couch potato. I know what I like and what I don’t like. I know what I need to do, I always have. I just haven’t always done it. Now I plan to do it.

SLIM CAMP UPDATE:
As part of my personal plan I’m starting with a 10 Day intensive. This is a plan I found as part of a workout program. It includes a strict diet for 10 Days, as well as excerising every day…some cardio, some strength training.
This sort of thing is not right for everyone, as it is strict. But for me, I know it’s right. Not only will it help shock my system into paying attention, it’ll help me mentally shift gears so that I can stay on track. It’s sort of a “go hard or go home” mentality. 
Anyway, I’ll outline the steps of what I’m doing tomorrow…and hopefully some of you might want to join me. I’m starting tomorrow, but I know most people like to start new things on Mondays. My reason for starting on Sat is because I’m really motivated right now, and I need to go grocery shopping tonight anyway. So This way I can buy what I need to stick to my meal plan (Which I created last night), and get started while I’m very excited about it.
It took me two days to get my plan together, so if you’re interested, you can start on Monday and I’ll be there to cheer you on!
If you do decide to follow me, I’ll give you a hint as to my plan. The worst thing for me is going to be 10 Days with NO SODA!
I’ll put up a post about what I’ll be doing and why… and would love to see if some of you want to join me.
