My new laptop!! Isn't she pretty

Is she not pretty?  I think so.  And best thing, she's fast, and I'll be able to play my games on her.  Yes, my laptop is a girl.  My last one died.  She just died.  I was saving a YouTube video I had gotten edited, and the screen went blank and she turned off and that was it.   So I had to buy a new one.  This is very close to my old one, only 5 years newer and with more space and RAM.   So she's fast.

Now comes the downloading of all my games on her.

My foot is still sore, but better.  I hope it gets even better cause its my weekend to work and I'd rather not work with a sore foot.  At least nothing is broken.  Probably pulled a tendon or ligament or something.  I don't know but having a sore foot sucks big time.

Hubby and I are going to start really trying to get into better shape starting in Oct.  I'm not sure what I want to do quite yet.  I alternate between wanting to do my videos and wanting to lift heavy.  I think I'll start with lifting videos, break myself back in cause I've totally slacked off for like 3 weeks, and then maybe in Nov start lifting heavy again.  Either way, as long as hubby will actually try and not bring in a bunch of crap food, and encourage me to workout, it will be good.

Not much else today.  Just playing around with my new laptop and getting it set up.

Off to play games.

OUCH! My foot hurts!

This sucks.  The ball of my left foot hurts.  Started hurting early Fri morning at work.  Made the last couple hours of work kind of, well, suck.  Then it hurt Fri night into Sat morning, which made work, well, suck!   Nothing like walking around the hospital with a sore foot.  Right where you walk too. 
Rested the rest of Sat, and Sun. Felt a little better Sun so I thought it might be getting better, but NO.  That area on the ball of my left foot just hurts.  Kind of in the middle of the ball of my foot.  Right where I roll off.  UGH!   I hope it magically is better my tomorrow night cause I need to work tomorrow.

I filmed an anti-haul and got it up on my channel the other day.  No, I don't just buy all the makeup out there lol.  Here's a link
Anti-Haul #4

What else.  I put off going to Des Moines shopping to day cause my foot hurts and cause I slept like crap last night.  I hope I sleep better today.  I'm gonna take some anti-inflammatory meds tonight. Some Advil might make it a little better.  Can't make it worse at this point.  If its not better, I'm gonna have to get it looked at.

The pain in my foot has also kind of slowed up my workouts. Hard to do any kind of cardio when your foot freaking hurts.  And leg day is out cause I kind of need to use my foot for that.  I need this to get better fast.

Back to playing Skyrim lol.  On my PS4 cause my laptop is not 100% anymore.  It will randomly restart.  Very annoying.   I just need to get a new laptop really soon.  I've just about got saved up what I need for the laptop I'm looking at.  Probably in Oct. I'm gonna be transferring stuff from my old on onto a brand new gaming laptop.   That's gonna be nice.

My no sugar challenge has been a dud.  Just not into it I guess.  I need to get at least 10lbs more off my body by the end of the year.  I'll just feel better about myself.  I just need to crack down, and stay in my calorie range, while making sure I get that protein in.  And get some workouts in as well.  I just need to get it done.

Not to much else going on.  Lots of whining about my foot in this one lol.  Oh well.

New Nikes!

Yep, went to the Nike outlet yesterday and got 2 pair for less than I would have gotten one pair.  AWESOME!
I got these.

Which I will probably wear to work. I tend to keep my work shoes only for work.

And then I got these.

Which will be yet another pair of everyday shoes lol.  There was a pair of Nike Metcons which I really wanted, but dang it, they didn't have my size.  Just needed a 1/2 size bigger and I would have had a new pair to workout in.  Alas.  Maybe next time.

I've been trying to do a low buy for makeup this month.  I've done good, when comparing how much I got in July and Aug.   If you want to see, here is the link for the Haul videos I put up on my YouTube channel.
Haul Videos
I've gotten less makeup and was TOTALLY good yesterday and didn't even stop in Ulta or Sephora even though I really wanted to.

I've got so much stuff I need to review first.  Palettes, foundations, primers, etc.  In fact, I need to edit a video, and then make a new rant video today and get it edited.  UGH! And go to work this week and get to 2 appointments this week. Wish I didn't have to work. 

Man, if I could just not ever have to work, and make YouTube videos, blog and play with makeup for a living, that would be so nice.  Maybe someday I can retire or at least cut down to part time, and do a lot more of what I enjoy that would be nice.  I'll keep plugging away and maybe sometime I can do just that.

Until next time.

Going shopping tomorrow

Yep, hubby and I are hitting the "city" of Des Moines tomorrow.  Time to get a few things at Costco, Whole Foods, maybe wander around the mall some.  Oh, and I'm hitting the Nike outlet there cause I "need" new shoes lol.   Nike are so comfy to wear for work, so why not get another pair, cause I will literally wear a different pair every night I go in.  My feet bother me less when I do that.  Like I'll wear my Nikes one night, my Danskos another, and then Brooks or something the next.  My feet are happier, and I'm happier.

I'm probably going to be painting my nails here soon. Been really enjoying KL Polish here.  This is my favorite color (so far)

Princess Penny.  So pretty!  I'll probably end up getting the new fall collection when its out. Maybe it is. I'm not so sure.  Now I need to go check and see if they are out lol. 

Not to much else to write today.   Been testing out makeup.  I need to get back to reviewing it here a little more.  Review here what I can't get around to making videos for my YouTube channel for.  Ideas!!

I need this like I need a hole in my head

But I want this so bad.  But its so freaking expensive.  But I want it so bad. UGH!  Why have I not won the lottery?

If I did get this, it would be the only thing I could get for a couple week. Cause this palette is $125.  Yes, $125.  I need to either become a big blogger and YouTuber making a nice chunk of change from my blogs and videos, or win the lottery lol.  Just keep going and maybe someday I will get a check from YouTube or my blog.  Like in 3 years lol.  Oh, maybe 2 and a half lol.

My low sugar challenge is not going well.  I need to crack down on myself and just say NO.  I'll do better tomorrow.  I need to. My waist line says I need to.

Next week, I'm going to go back to heavy weight lifting.  I'm missing it way so much, and well, I'm a firm believer in doing the physical activity you enjoy, and lifting heavy things up and down makes me happy.  And it can boost my metabolism and help me burn off some body fat, so its all good, right?

I have only one more day off before I work the weekend. UGH!  I'm already dreading it.  That's kind of say.  Dreading work when its still like 2 nights away.   Oh well, this to shall pass. I'm sure it will be good after I get there.  Just the thought of what it could be. Which could be crap.

I guess that's all for today.  Not to much else to say, other than enjoy your days off when you get them people!

Decluttering is good for the soul.

Yep, I've started to declutter. Makeup for now, but I did take a bag full of older clothes I don't want, won't wear, or can't fit into anymore, to the local donation place. And some used makeup.  Felt good.

Pretty soon, I'll go through shoes, and maybe more clothes and get rid of more.  I need to thin out my nail polish collection.  Its HUGE and a few have gone bad.  I did the thinning down thing once but I think one time is enough.  More than that, and it doesn't seem like they do nearly as well.

If you are interested here's a play list of my declutters I've filmed for YouTube.
Decluttering

Doing a low sugar challenge in Sept.  Did great the first day.  Today, hubby "treated" me to Reece's Pieces and UGH I didn't really want them, but ate them anyway.  Tomorrow I'll do better. I need to.  I feel better when I'm not eating as much sugar. I can lose weight easier, my skin looks better.  So, well,  I need to ensure hubby knows I'm really wanting to do this.  In times past, he almost gets a little irritable when I try to eat healthy, or do low sugar, etc.   Like me trying to get healthier is doing something to him???  Whatever.

Gotta get back into lifting tomorrow as well.  I think for this month, I'm going to loosely follow a  program.  Kind of an upper body/lower body split. Ease myself into it a little bit.   Then in Oct, start hitting it harder again.

I've managed to gain a few subs on my YouTube channel. Good!  I hope my channel keeps growing and getting better.  I like making my videos, and I just want to keep making content I enjoy, and people enjoy watching.

I think this week I'll do more decluttering.  Maybe a few books and such.  I've got a few I know I won't reread, so maybe I can donate them to our local library.
