This week: The Vegetarian Challenge

This was meant to be posted last week but once again I failed.

Vegetarian challenge was a success! It is actually more work than I thought so I did fail on doing the push ups and sit-ups.

Whatever! I endured the lack of protein and constant flatulence.

I didn't have a prize for my work but I am going to California this Thursday. So, maybe that's a prize.

Stay tune as I unveil my plan of doing the master cleanse... oh lord
---------------
You are looking at the proud owner of Guerlin Homme. The smell is divine! It is said to be inspired by Mojitos, which is just perfect since I just ended my drinking hiatus.

I am still trying to figure out the reward for this week. How hard is it for a rice consuming asian man to cut meat as his diet? Actually, really hard since I just realized I love my eggs, spam and vienna sausages. Right now, I am searching for my grocery list. You know it is really awful that I use google to create my vegetarian grocery list. Oh well, at least my life is expanding.

To add a little excitement I am adding other things to the mix
-Vegetarian challenge
-4 times in the gym -- since i have trip coming, I have to be in tip top shape
- Shop for a shrink -- why am I putting this in the back burner? this needs to be resolved.
-400 push ups - Yes we are stepping up a notch
-200 sit ups

Too much? Maybe not.

Guerlain Homme.. here I come

I need one more gym visit (5 mile run for breakfast) and 65 more push-ups and I will be a proud owner of possibly the most orgasmic cologne I have ever encountered.

For next week, should I justify a big ticket item since I am running a marathon? Let's see.

Also, a reader commented that my blog needs a makeover and Tyra needed to intervene. You know, I really this "rough around the edges" feel. It goes to show I am not trying hard to please anyone. But it wont hurt it Tyra tried to intervene and give this baby a makeover hahhaa.

The challenges will get more ridiculous as the week passes, so stay tuned everyone. And by everyone, I mean you Katie Martinez hahahahahahahaha

New challenge of the week: Guerlain Homme


Last week's challenge was a success!! I am now a proud owner of a micro running short, just in time for spring running.

Anyway, this week is a little challenging since this week's item is a little pricey. I went to Sephora today and fell in love with this amazing cologne called Guerlain Home. Yes, very high-end but I do need to treat myself sometimes (ergo, this blog).

Now, this week challenge entails not only tightening your belt, but also a test on pushing myself to my physical limit. Upon completing this challenge, there is no question the scent of victory will be sweet:

Item: Guerlain Homme $66

Challenge:
- Go to the gym at least 3 times this week
- 300 push-ups
- No money spent on Breakfast for 3 days

Wish me luck

Challenge of the week: Spend $0 until Thursday -- Item of the week: Shrink

I started to craft this idea of fusing my gurl-on-a-budget status with the concept of delayed gratification. Basically, A challenge comes every week (or two) about saving money that would then rewarded by spending it. Pretty stupid, you might think. But this is a good exercise on separating needs and wants. Am I ready to make sacrifices in order to achieve this one item/service? Well, I don't know the answer.

So without further adieu, let me unveil the item of the week:

ITEM: RUNNING SHORTS (Amount: probably around $30)



The challenge - Do not spend money until Wednesday. This means you may need to pack for lunch and breakfast

Updates will be posted soon
