Where are you Tropic-Sno?

Allison’s attack plan for the next few months of working from home:

Phase One:

www.allisondoty.com – Yes it sucks. I know this.

That’s why I am working on a better one! I will be launching a new portfolio blog soon. I have all the research done and basic layout finished , but here’s what I can’t decide: Should a design portfolio have a super intricate and saucy design to show off your skills (Like this fun design from 4Design.tv)? Or should it be super-simple and show off your work (Like this simple and functional site from Identity33)? What’s your opinion? I am leaning toward super-simple (but I really think it’s only the little lazy girl inside that wants it).

Phase Two:

Become a skinny bitch. Well maybe not a SKINNY bitch, but more of a “In a healthy BMI range” bitch. Weight Watchers is always preaching about how in order to lose weight you have to make a lifestyle change. I have decided to accomplish this by starting a blog about health and weight, written in my same happy-go-lucky/snarky tone.

I am actually a lot more excited about this than of Phase One, cause lets face it, Phase Two could potentially involve going down a few dress sizes and shopping. I also don’t want my weight blog to be related to my freelance graphic design in anyway so this was my decision behind starting a totally new blog. Look for www.TeenyThang.com in the near(ish) future! And for you girlies out there dealing with the same issues, I would LOVE to have to you as a guest blogger – or if you are just looking for a little inspiration, here are some GREAT weight loss blogs that I check out regularly … The Token Fat Girl.  Former Fat Guy.  A Merry Life.

Phase Three:

Find a decent Sno-Cone shack in Boise. COME ON! Its in the triple digits! 

Happy Thursday!

    I know a website that sells supplements to help you reach your goals. :) . Seriously, we have a ton of articles on our website that pertain to your goal, plus BodySpace for the social network/motivation/goal tracking aspect. A huge part of reaching your goal is actually tracking your stats to keep your pace and motivate you to keep going.

    Your very determined and if you make it a priority, you will reach your goal!
