#FatGirlsStory Week 2 -- You weigh how much? and Author Updates



Y'all I've had a long week! No joking! It's been the type of week you want to crawl into bed and never leave, with a bottle of wine next to you.



Yep, just like that.

However, there have been high points! So, let's start there,

I exercised everyday last week. This is what I did:

8 miles on stationary bike
3 miles on the elliptical
5 miles on treadmill
50 sit ups
250 stairs on stair master (not in a row! but the whole week)
100 squats (I really did 100 I didn't count the ones I only half squatted)

All in all it was a good week!


Now, onto the BIG QUESTION......

How much weight have I lost?

So, last week I weigh 285. 
I know...I'm big...I got it! 
I don't need anyone to comment and remind me. 
I own a mirror!

I weighed myself this morning and I am ........


wait for it............

wait.............


280!!!



I'm so proud of me! 
I know 5 lbs isn't a ton, but you have to start somewhere and I have to go slow. 
I don't want to drop a real fast and put it back on.

Now ... onto the Author front ....

Wow, where do I start on this topic?

Lindsay Paige and I released the sixth book of the Oh Captain, My Captain Series, You and Me Forever.





It seems strange to say it was our sixth book! Let's not forget the three Penalty Kill books, either.

It's almost two years since LP and I started writing together and look were we are! 
Crazy, but wonderful!

We are still working on our super-top-secret project! 
I'm hoping to announce something soon, but nothing yet...,you have to wait...



Sorry!


Now for my solo projects this is what is coming in the next few months:

A New Adult College Football book (this is with the editor and the cover is finished)
A Contemporary Romance (this is finished and about to go to the editor. The cover was a custom shoot with model, William Scott, and the photographer James of Sasserfraz Pictures. I'm so thankful for them to helping me out and I can't wait for y'all to see these pics! This will be out June/July)

I have several others, but nothing concrete for release dates.

That's it ... Those are my current updates!

As always, thank you for everyone who is supporting me and helping me! You all mean the world to me.

Also, to all the fans/readers of my book and the ones I do with LP...y'all are amazing ... THANK YOU!

My favorite movies and why I love them so much!

Image
I love to watch movies! Probably too much, but I love to watch movies. Like books, they can touch you in some way and impact your way of thinking. Some make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think, and some bring back the best and/or worst memories.  Let's begin with my list ... 1) Harry Potter    I have loved Harry Potter since the day I read the first book, in the early 2000's. A friend had recommended it to me and from the first chapter I was hooked. I even have a HP tattoo! When the announcement came regarding the movies, my heart sank. Come on, we're all Boo Nerds and sometimes the movie just ruins it. (Need I remind you about Percy Jackson  ðŸ˜’😒😒 ) However, when the first movie dropped, I was there with my overpriced popcorn ready to be transported to Hogwarts! Needless to say, I love them. Yes, there are changes from the books to the movie, but not enough for me to really complain about. And I still watch them to this day!  2) Gone with

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Image
    It seems like forever since I have written a book review. Do I even remember how to? Let's give it a shot!!! I received this book from my Book of the Month pick and am I happy I did. Wow, this book is a true page turner. I read it in one sitting.  What I loved: Taylor Jenkins Reid truly knows how to keep a reader engaged. I figure this book was going to be an Elizbeth Taylor knock off, but O...M...G... I was wrong! She shows us what one woman, Evelyn Hugo, has to go through to make it in the Hollywood world of the 1950's until present. It's not the hard work, the deception of others and Evelyn, the lies, the secrets, it is all the above. In this book there is a SERIOUS twist that I didn't see coming and truthfully ... I loved it. Evelyn has a lot of secrets and truly hides who she truly is. With each husband, you see Evelyn grow, mature, cry, love, hate, and continually push herself further and further.  What I didn't like: There is a jump in the timeline wi

Announcement of a New Series...

Since I started writing I get a crazy idea in my head and I jot it down on a post-it. (FYI: I love post-its!!!) Anyway, this one idea kept creeping up and wouldn't leave me alone. So, I brought it to my publishers attention and they agreed for me to publish it.  It's a series that deal with female issues. By that I mean, typical issues that I've lived through and others that I know.  Before I go to far in depth let me tell you about book 1. The titles will be 'different' but that is the point, right?! Book 1 will be called: I'm the Real Paige Crosby I know its a mouthful, but there is a purpose for it...promise! The series will be called: I'm Real Series .  Book 1 will deal with self-esteem issues. A small overview of the book is that Paige Crosby is overweight, and receives a big job opportunity. However, she doesn't think that she deserves it and hides in the shadows.  There is more to it, but that is just a quick note about
