Chapter 45: ALISON SWEENEY COMMENTS!!

If you didn't read Chapter 44 then here's a quick update: I was/am being featured on a website called Whrrl for "photo stories". I uploaded pics for my weight loss journey thus far and they decided to feature me! It's so exciting!

So far I've had over 5,000 views on my story, and here's the awesome part!!!

*Drum roll*

Alison Sweeney (from Days of Our Lives, and Biggest Loser host) commented on some of my pics!!!
One of her comments said: Congrats Chase. you're doing amazing.
And the other said: check you out!!! AWESOME!!!

I almost fainted when I read them! I'm a huge Ali fan! The few times I've seen Days of Our Lives was because she's awesome, and that's the only reason I ever watched haha. She's a great host on the Biggest Loser too, so to have her comment on my pics just made my day! :) I just wanted to let you guys know...oh, by the way, I tried a new fruit smoothie today from this little place on campus. It's a Strawberry smoothie for 89 calories...it's real fruit and it's AWESOME! :) I'm drinking it now lol.

Chapter 44: Featured on Whrrl!!!

For those of you that don't know, Whrrl is a website in which you can tell "stories" through pictures. So basically it's an online album but for the purpose of telling others something.

I posted an album last night for my weight-loss. I put my before pics, my summer pics and my first 5K pics (well some of them lol). Well to my surprise, today I realized my picture was on the front page of the website, under the "Featured Stories" section! It was awesome! I realized that I had been chosen, along with like ten other stories to be featured on the website! When I checked earlier I had over 3400 views on my story! I was super excited!!!

I've posted the link below so you can see my scary before pics at Christmas 2008, and then my summer pics of where I am now. I'm still working out so I hope to post some more Christmas pics from 2009 so you can see where I was exactly one year ago to the day! :)

Chapter 43: Vegetables Taste Like Dirt...haha.

Ok so I have no clue what to talk about, but I just wanted to post a quick blog to update you and to ask you to let others know about my blog!

I realized yesterday I'm slowly starting to lose my motivation and I'm already looking at March (my goal date) and thinking, "Man, I'm gonna be so embarrassed when March rolls around because I'm still gonna be a fat cow!"...in a way, I've already began to except the failure in my mind. But I can't! I can't let it get to me!

I'm working so much now that it's so hard for me to find time for the gym. Last semester I was going about six times a week and now that's cut down to about four...so it's really bothering me. I'm eating really healthy though, so I'm trying to make up for the loss of exercise in my diet.

I found a blog a few days ago (more like a week or two ago I think lol) that has really inspired me. I want you to check it out. The woman's name is Pamela and she has lot a great amount of weight! Her story is inspirational, and it has definitely given me the kick in the butt that I needed. It has sparked my motivation, but I'm still struggling with keeping it. I just get so tired. I've posted her blog link below so please, please, please check it out and subscribe to her! :)

Chapter 42: BACK IN THE GAME!!

Well I'm soooo excited because TBL premiere was....AWESOME!!!

It was so great and I'm really excited about this season! Even my Opera Director at school watches it so we end up talking about TBL more than we end up talking about Opera haha, but I love it! I'm also sorry that I haven't updated as frequently as I used to, but school is kicking my butt!

I also wanted to let you know that I'm officially back on the wagon...for a while now I've just been following the wagon from where I fell off earlier, but I finally gained up the strength to jump back on. Watching TBL really did it for me! I was so inspired!!!! I also went to Kroger tonight (around 1-am to be exact lol) and spent $99.37 on all sorts of yummy, healthy food! I got whole wheat bread, lean turkey breast, lean chicken break, lean ham, mustard (0 calories, just so you know lol), cereal to kick start my metabolism in the morning, TBL Whey Protein Mix, grapes, apples, bananas, and some other goodies! I was so excited!

Well it is now 3:25am and I have yet to go to bed, so I should probably do that! I'll give you a more detailed blog entry about TBL Premiere more in depth later on, because right now my bed is calling my name.....listen......"Chase....Chase"...see, I told you! Good night! :)

**And for those of you that are celebrity junkies like me, I have a new blog! http://www.chaseferrell.wordpress.com It's all about celebrity news and a little bit of gossip, but not much lol. Please check it out and spread the word to others! I just started it Monday and I've had almost 800 hits so far! I'm really excited about it and I hope people will actually read my articles! Btw, you better watch the Emmy Awards this Sunday, 8/7c on CBS!! :) Love you guys!

Chapter 41: A Lifestyle (TBL PREMIERE!!!)

I realized today that being healthy and working out isn't all about working out everyday, 24/7 and eating all diet foods, but it's more about being healthy and enjoying life. I realized I was focusing too much on what I couldn't do, instead of what I could do. I admit, I've been extremely busy and haven't been to the gym near as much as I would like, but that hasn't changed my eating habits and my desire to be healthy. I'm still that healthy person, I just don't get to go to the gym as much. It reminds me of the Biggest Loser. The contestants are so obsessed with working out and eating properly while they are at the ranch, but then as soon as they leave they become scared and confused as how to combine their new life with the old one. It's a scary combination, but it's one that has to be made. Also....THE BIGGEST LOSER SEASON 8 PREMIERE IS THIS TUESDAY!!! I'm so freakin' excited! I can't wait to see the new contestants and I'm so happy to see that Daniel is coming back! :) Well I guess that's about it...this is more of a serious blog today, but it was just something I needed to say... :) Love you guys!
