What’s your New Year’s resolution?

Posted on January 2nd, 2009 by Simple-Mindz

Has it really been that long since I last posted? I really do not know where the time has gone. I’m glad we are into a new year though. Seems like 2008 wasn’t so good. This year - 2009 is the year I win the lottery. :)

I spose I should go and buy some scratch tickets or something huh?

Oh - Happy New Year everyone! This will be my first post of the “New” Year.

Honestly, I suppose my “resolutions” are the same. I need to lose weight. Just 20 lbs I spose. I am currently 138 again. Was 125 a long time ago. That was even before I started blogging I think.  Hoping to get to like 115 by the summer. The only way I think I will be able to successfully do that is by cardio. That and of course my weight training too.  When I was running/walking the 3-4 miles a day I was loosing a good amount. I was down to 125lbs and looking and feeling good. Honestly, I do not know why I stopped. I think it’s my “Bi Polar” weight loss syndrome. :) I wrote about it here.

Thankfully Christmas came and went pretty quickly. You all know how I feel about Christmas. I could really do without it. To me, it means nothing and presents are given because “that’s what you are supposed to do.”

My daughter though, loves Christmas. As does my bf. They got me an I Pod Touch for Christmas. It is amazing little piece of technology. I am so totally hooked on it. Talk about fun. I have not even played my World of Warcraft this week because I have been playing with my Ipod! My daughter and I went out the day after Christmas and shopped at the mall all day. That was so much more fun than Christmas! We had a blast pissin money out the window! :)

I cashed in some of my PTO time from work. I used 80 hours. I will get 75% of my 80 hours in a check and I plan on spending that at the mall too. After I pay a couple bills I want to at least take half of it and buy some stuff I want.

I want to get a new pair of Nike sneakers that work with my IPod to record my walking/running. The kit is $30 bucks and the sneakers will run me about $100.00. But if it actually motivates me it will be worth it. You put the little sensor in the sneaker and it records the run time/calories burned, distance and all that.  Then I just gotta take it and uploaded it to the Nike Site and it measures my progress. Pretty cool I think. :)

I suppose I should dedicate my time to this blog more too. But I know how I am. I start out with good intentions, but they just eventually fizzle out. I do that with a lot of stuff. Crafts, fitness, ideas, etc. maybe I should be looking up why I do that all the time. lol.

My thoughts are - I get bored with it. Or I don’t see the results I want so I move on. My brain is in continual thinking mode and I just can’t turn it off!

Anyone got any resolutions they have made? Please, leave me a comment and tell me what they are! I’d love to hear from you.

Dermalastyl for better skin.

Posted on December 8th, 2008 by Simple-Mindz

So, last week I was chosen to try a new product out. I have been using it for about a week now and it’s actually been working! It’s called -Dermalastyl. And it is a new anti aging product that works really well to reverse the signs of aging.

When I first started using Dermalastyl the first thing I noticed was that it had very little odor. This is good because I hate those heavily perfumed creams. After using it for a few days I noticed that when I put it on, I got a small amount of tingling in my face. I’m not sure if it was my imagination or not - but something was working.

I just happen to be 41 years old. And although I do not have a ton of wrinkles in my face, I do notice that I have got a few fine lines under my eyes. And also that right under my chin it has become a tad saggy. After using the Dermalastyl though I have noticed that my chin area seems to be sagging a bit less. Keep in mind though that I have only been using it for a week. I can’t wait to see how it will look in 30 days!

There is an actual science behind all this too.  Elastin is the protein that gives the skin what it needs to stay smooth, supple and tight. Elastin is kinda like the rubber band. Always snapping back afterwards.

Dermalastyl uses tropoelastin. It’s made from skin cells and it’s the “most natural form of human elastin.”  The tropoelastin moves freely within the skin and provides a synthesized source of elastin called Elastatropin, which moves inside the skin & integrates itself to the skin matrix.

In a nutshell, all this goes together and regenerates and rebuilds our skin to make it softer, smoother and supple again! Considering I am starting to wonder and become concerned with my lines and sagging, this could not have come about at a better time! If I start using Dermalastyl now I might be able to really reduce my aging skin considerably! Wouldn’t THAT be nice. :)
