I'm one of the founders of The Demoiselles, and I'm excited to be participating in the Getting Healthy program! My general goal... is about maximizing the performance of all states of my life: psychological, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. I'm constantly working towards a better me! My specific goal... is to lose about 2 lbs. per week, and start really eating healthy. I want to the happy medium between "healthy eating" and "decadence". I know, polar opposites, but it can work! I'm shooting to fit into a size 10 overall, but at the end of this chapter, I'd like to be a small 14 (with clear skin, please!). My stats are... Age: 24 Height: 5'6" Weight: 190 Measurements: 42-35-42 Dress size: ~14

New GH Processes Posted in From the Birds on 11 January 2010 Firstly, thank you to everyone who took the survey we administered last week. It’s still open if you haven’t taken it, so go on over if you haven’t! Just like last chapter, now that CH.II has ended, we’re making another round of changes to make Getting Healthy easier not only for the participants, but for [...]
Getting Healthy, CH.II Survey! Posted in Getting Healthy on 2 January 2010 It’s that time again – Chapter Two has come to a (near!) close, and we want to pick your brains about the last 6-ish weeks of Getting Healthy! So we’ve come up with a new survey that we’d love if you spent maybe 3 minutes (only 180 seconds!) filling out for us. We’re constantly impressed [...]
Elle: Week 5 – WHERE AM I? Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 18 December 2009 I’ve completely disappeared. If you follow Broke & Beautiful, the main TD blog, my twitter, or anything else I’m usually exploding all over… You’ll notice that I have completely vanished this week. Why?, you ask inquisitively (redundant?). I got the most ridiculously amazing job. I’m hesitant to divulge a bunch of details about it, but [...]
Elle: Week 4 means we’re past the half way mark! Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 11 December 2009 Well, here we are, sitting at the steps of the second half of the second chapter. Things I have accomplished: I have worked out, in some way, every day. Because I am very easily bored, working out is really hard for me. I’ve tried gym memberships (I never go), yoga (okay for about 10 minutes, [...]
Elle: Week 3! S.A.D. and Over It. Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 4 December 2009 Hello! It’s week three, and I’m struggling. I’m not struggling with food, I’m not struggling with exercise, I’m struggling with my head. In my first post for CH.II, I mentioned that I’d kind of become somewhat timid and meek over the last year, when it comes to – you know – life. I’ve spent the [...]
Elle: WHOA, Holidays. Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 28 November 2009 Hello again! Sorry that I’m late… The holidays are going to be a bit of a challenge as far as time, I think! I have time management issues when it comes to things I don’t control. For example, Thanksgiving. I don’t get to choose the date. This makes me uneasy. (Can we say “control freak“?) [...]
Elle: Now For Something Completely Different Posted in CH.II, Getting Healthy on 20 November 2009 My “Getting Healthy” Info 1. As of the beginning of this project, what are your height and weight? Unfortunately, I don’t own a scale, but at the end of the last chapter, I was about 185 lbs, down from… more. (This is the problem with not owning a scale!) My height is still 5’6″. 2. [...]
Reader Question Pool Posted in Getting Healthy on 14 November 2009 As a result of the Getting Healthy survey (by the way, thank you, thank you, thank you!), we’ve made a lot of changes (most of which are illustrated here), and we have more to implement still! This particular post is regarding a couple great suggestions from readers. They suggested that we develop a reader-fueled pool [...]
Getting Healthy Giveaway: Banglz! Posted in Giveaway on 4 November 2009 It’s not too often that the ideas of “fashion” and “exercise” cross paths in an aesthetically-pleasing, logical way. Designer fanny-packs for running do not count. Ultra-mesh, suede, velvet and tulle cross trainers aren’t really on anyone’s radar… But if you’re ever looking to incorporate some incognito exercise into your daily routine, FitnessUWear has offered you [...]
Getting Healthy, Ch. 1 – Survey Posted in From the Birds, Getting Healthy on 2 November 2009 First and foremost, THANK YOU. Jen, Elle, and all the girls all want to extend their thanks not just for reading their journal entries… But for responding, caring, suggesting, offering, and being some of the most supportive readers ever! Getting Healthy, overall, was a success. Girls like Michelle lost weight (Congrats!), Gauri tried something new [...] |
