Operation Get it Right, Get it Tight




Ms New Booty was my theme song freshman year of college...And that will be all that I have to say about that...

As I previously mentioned, I'm staging a come back. Operation: Get it Right, Get it Tight is a two part effort to get my shit together.

In order to get it tight, I've been up in the gym, working on my fitness. I guess you could say that it's going well--aside from the fact that it hurt for three days to move, breathe, sneeze, cough, shower, get dressed, or sleep.

Surprisingly, getting it tight has been much easier than getting it right. My skin exploded this week (most likely due to a major stress event). Even so, the combo of extreme chemicals that I've been slathering on and taking the pill have stopped working. So I'm healing from the inside out:

-No wheat and no dairy: Sweet jesus, I might actually die.

-Kombucha tea: have you seen/tried this? There are live cultures of slime floating in it. I tried it today for the first time. It's jam packed with all kinds of good stuff--including a ton of probiotics. It's basically a waiting game until I shit my pants.

-Not wearing make-up: Unless I have to go to work, I'm not wearing make-up.












-Burt's Bees Acne Kit: Because it is 100% percent natural, this will either go really well or horribly wrong...













-Burt's Bees Pore-Refining Mask: I was just going to buy green clay and make my own mask, but I worried that I would screw it up--kind of like that time I experimented with Nair. I nearly burned my va-jay off.. True story.

In addition to get my face all pretty, I'll be doing the following:

-growing my hair out: Short (chin length) hair is flattering on me, but I've never had long hair, and I really want to try it out. Isn't it funny how when you try to grow your hair out, things get worse before they get better? I'm not looking forward to the mullet stage.

-cleaning my apartment: The clothes mountain in the living room is ridiculous, and there is some kind of bean dip in the fridge that neither my sister or I will put down the garbage disposal. I feel like this is one of those situations where the tupperware may have to be sacrificed.

I was talking to one of my girlfriends about Operation: Get it Right, Get it Tight, and she sent me this blast from the past for encouragement:


My friends are soo supportive...

  2. You just almost killed me with the burning off of the va-jay-jay statement. You'd think I'd learn by now NOT to eat or drink when I am reading blogs. Good luck with your project! I've embarked on my own project "Will the Real Sheli Please Stand Up" .. it's a whole weight loss thing to find the real me that is hidden under all this mess ;)

  3. I'm also workin on a project, "Define Me". Step A was movin out of my dead-beat boyfriends house, now that I'm free of that house (and that relationship) I'm headed for Step two, diet. No red meat, no dairy, and no eating after 7. I hope it'll last longer than the last time I tried this. Which was a week :P

  5. Ah the extra fitness will really help if you are teaching. It has such a killer impact on your health if you're not taking good care of yourself. I hope your project goes well. x
