WW WEIGH IN AFTER 2 WEEKS!! LOTS & LOTS OF CRAZY UPDATES!! WEIGHT WATCHERS!

Good morning. Happy Friday. It is 6:08 a.m. I just finished boot camp. I am like a sweaty, nasty mess. It is so humid and gross right now. This is my least favorite time in Arizona, but I am proud of myself that I got my workout in this morning. I am in the drive-thru of Duncan. I am getting an ultimate pink daytime refresher, one of my favorite drinks. It is just so good, and I like to treat myself on Friday after my workout to something, whether it's Duncan or Starbucks, whether it's a coffee or a refresher. I should have got something pumpkin. I didn't even think about it until after I ordered. Friday is my day that I like to do a little something special to end out the week, and I haven't seen you guys for a couple of weeks. My life has been very busy. You guys know that I resigned from Bomb Party on August 9th, and since then, I have been selling Rise Party, which is surprise jewelry. Very different than Bomb Party, and I've got lots to tell you guys of all the things that have transpired since I left. Rise is also a sterling silver, much better quality, a very ethical, moral company. I'm so happy here, you guys. Multiple of you purchase from me through Rise and watch me on TikTok, and you guys have said that I am noticeably more happy, and that is absolutely the truth. I am so much happier. Just at peace. There's no drama. There's no problems. It's been the best decision I ever made. Oh, please. I'm about to get my about to pay and get my drink. All right. Here it is. I'm telling you guys it's the best. Yum. Do you have a Duncan in your area? I highly recommend it. It's really, really good. So, let me fill you guys in on the way home from boot camp. I think this may be how we work a lot of our Friday weigh-ins. Since I'm in the car and I've got a 20-minute drive, I can chat with you guys. So, first let me fill you in on some crazy things that have happened. So, the same day So, the day after I resigned from Bomb Party, I resigned on the 9th, on the 10th, there's a gentleman on TikTok. I'll actually link him down below for you guys. He actually lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is crazy. But, him and his family have owned and been in the gem business, the turquoise specific business for 40 years. So, he's an expert. He's knowledgeable on gemstones. Well, apparently, back at the beginning of August, there was some discussion about Bomb Party's turquoise magnesite that they claim their jewelry is. It's a It's a turquoise magnesite stone. So, it's not genuine turquoise. It's magnesite. So, there was some some discussion on is that true? Maybe it was brought to his attention or something. This This gentleman that Matt is his name. He actually started this series where he was going to test Bomb Party stones to see if they were what they say they are. Is it turquoise magnesite? Is it moonstone? Is it lab-created whatever stone? You guys, it has been crazy. He went down a rabbit hole and he has tested, long story short, over the last month or so, he's tested multiple of Bomb Party's stones and they are all fake. They are resin. They are plastic. They are glass. Bad. Bad, bad news. And also, their MSRPs that they're claiming on their jewelry are are incorrect. And you can't apparently claim an MSRP of something unless you've sold 50% of it at that price point. So, between the fake stones, the MSRP, all the FTC violations, Bomb Party is under some heavy, heavy, heavy scrutiny. There could be a class action lawsuit. You guys, it's been crazy. Absolutely crazy. I am number one glad I dodged this bullet, that I actually resigned the day before he started really deep diving into Bomb Party. And since I have have not been with the company, all of this has been discovered. So, number one, I dodged a bullet. Number two, had I still been a rep when all of this came to light, I would have left. I refuse to lie and deceive my customers. I would not be able to sell them a product that I know is fake. And you guys, it had And I'm telling you, when it has blown up, it has blown up. So, him, the Matt, and I have been in contact with the attacks. He actually contacted me on TikTok, and then we've been in communication about this whole situation since I'm no longer a rep, since I was a big seller for them. We have been in communication, and it has been wild. Absolutely wild. So, not only have I been running my Rise business, I've been involved or in discussion about everything that's happened with Bomb Party. So, I'm telling you guys, it's been a wild It's been a wild few weeks. It's been a wild couple of weeks. So, of course, I'll update you guys as time goes on with what happens if anything happens with that whole ordeal. But, on a positive note, dealing with Rise, like I said, being a Rise rep has been amazing. And in less than a week and a half, you [clears throat] guys, I earned the cruise through Rise. So, I'm actually going on a cruise in January that I earned in my first week and a half with the company. And that is huge, you guys. It was a goal that I had when I signed up. I actually exceeded the goal by almost 20,000 points. So, that is incredible. It's actually a record with Rise. So, that was huge. Thanks to my customers because they are the ones that supported me and helped me reach that goal. So, that has been great and it's been just such a good experience. Just through and through with Rise. And and thank goodness there has been zero discussion or issues with Rise's jewelry or Rise as a company. So, that makes me even happier. So, on TikTok, apparently, so with TikTok and you guys may not know this this is all kind of new within the last couple of months. On TikTok, you are not allowed to show a clover. I know it's ridiculous. Like nobody owns a clover. Nobody copyrights a clover, invented the clover. But apparently, it can be show it can be like a knockoff of I think it's Van Cleef or one of those bougie brands. And if you show a clover, say the word clover, put the word clover in the chat, even like indicate anything relating to clover, TikTok's AI picks that up and you get banned. Well, I got banned on Sunday and we I think my eight my TikTok agent who helps me we think it's because we were the word clover was put into the chat. And again, AI will pick it up wherever the word is. So, I got banned on Sunday and I've been banned before. And my TikTok agent has been able to get my account back within hours. Well, on Sunday, when I got banned, I went on to my alternate TikTok account and I was on that account for several hours and then I got banned over there. And I didn't realize that TikTok's AI again will pick up even your face. So, you can't really go to a different account because eventually it will catch up with you. TikTok will pick it up and you'll be banned. So, I was banned on that account. Then I went to my friend Jackie's account and I was able to finish out my live, get everybody revealed that was there on Jackie's account. It was absolutely wild on Sunday. So, during that whole time, my agent wasn't able to get my account back. The next day, Monday, my her appeal got denied. So, TikTok is upholding my ban. So, I have actually been banned on TikTok since Sunday. I can't go back on TikTok till Sunday. So, I have had to go on the Facebook this week to work. To to reveal my customers jewelry, to do my job. I've had to go over to Facebook and it hasn't been the worst thing, but Facebook is not as user-friendly. There's a big lag in the comments. So, it has been just a very crazy week with just having to navigate how to work without TikTok. So, now I have to be even more careful on TikTok. We're going to ban the word clover, the spelling of clover, the actual emoji, all of that so that if anybody puts it in the chat, it doesn't go through the chat. And hopefully that solves the issue of this continuing ban banning with clovers. And you guys, it has happened to multiple reps all across the board, not just Rise reps, BP reps, just any anybody who's showing the a clover. A lot of people have been banned and TikTok's been holding up the bans, not letting them drop like they were in the beginning. So, that happened as well. So, it's been a week. It has been a crazy week. I actually have lots to share with you. There are lots to share with you guys this week. Golf cart. We still don't have our golf cart. They delivered it last week again. We've had our golf cart, you guys. We bet we've we bought it over a month ago. I think we've maybe had it a week since we bought it. Like in our possession, maybe a week since we actually bought it. They delivered it again and they tried to fix the scratch. And when And fixed the scratch, they painted it, and there was overspray all over our golf cart. The seats, the bumper, just it was a disaster. An utter, utter disaster. So, Troy refused it. And now, they're having to take off the whole back of our golf cart and replace it with a whole new back to get rid of the overspray, to get rid of the scratch, to get rid of all the things that are wrong with the golf cart, the brand new golf cart. So, supposedly supposedly we'll get it back today because they said by the end of this week. Palmer has officially lost his mind. He's so upset every day because there's no golf cart rides. And Palmer and I dogs in general are very routine. So, he's just been really upset because his routine is thrown off. He hasn't gotten to take a golf cart ride in almost 2 weeks. So, I know when we get it back, Palmer is going to be so excited. But, truly, truly, you guys, it has been an utter nightmare. It's been a nightmare. You should never buy something brand new and have all of these issues with it. It's just And Troy handled all of it, thank goodness. But, it's been a nightmare. So, I'm hoping we get it back today and it's good to go and we don't have any more issues. No more golf cart issues from here on out. So, it has just been wild. Last week, I had absolutely nothing to share with you. I mean, this whole thing was going on, but like I just starting. But, this week, we had lots of updates to share. We're also still waiting on our landscaper to get us a cactus. We actually paid him a couple months ago the deposit. There just hasn't been a good cactus available. So, we're still waiting on that. I think Troy's been trying to get a hold of him. And you guys know he hasn't been the most responsive. So, I don't know that he's even messaged Troy back or responded to Troy. So, I know he's dealing with that, too. It is really just been busy. Just really busy. And today, Friday, is my catch-up day this morning. And then, when Troy gets up, we are going to clean the house. We need to like thoroughly spring clean our house. When I left Bomb Party, we really thoroughly cleaned my office because that fizz went everywhere. But, we need to wipe off my fan in my office and change the filter. So, today is going to be a full-on cleaning day. And just, again, a catch-up day cuz I work both tomorrow and Sunday. So, with everything that's been going on, honestly, I've been doing really well with my food. I have been heavily protein focused, just making sure that I'm getting in protein, that I'm really focused on that. I haven't been tracking my food at all, but I've been making good decisions. Again, eating my protein, getting in my water. It's been hot here, humid here. So, I've been getting in water. And because I am just so busy, there's just not time to overeat or time to go off the rails. I've still enjoyed myself. We had pizza the other night for dinner. I've still eaten my dessert every single night. I've still done all of those things that help me, number one, have a good relationship with food and maintain my weight loss. I've been getting in my workouts. I've been going to boot camp. I make it to the gym at least once a week. I'm shooting for two times a week, but with everything that's went on these last 2 weeks, Thursdays have been tough for me. And then, I definitely will go tomorrow, Saturday. So, I'm getting into a new new routine. Because, again, working for this company is very different. It's much easier, much better, but it's very different. So, I'm still learning things, getting into that routine. And then, with all of the upheaval that has been happening, it's It's it's been It's been a couple of weeks, but I feel like things are going to mellow out a little bit. And I'm very much looking forward to my Hawaii trip in November. So, I'm hoping again to get in a good routine, and I'm hoping to just keep doing what I'm doing because it's really really working for me. I have full transparency, I've not weighed myself at all since the last time I weighed myself and checked in with you guys, which was 2 weeks ago. So, I got on the scale this morning before I went to boot camp, and I am actually up .4 lbs. I am sore from my workout on Wednesday. We did a lot of lower body, and whenever I do a lot of lower body, my legs are pretty sore. I also, like I said, ate pizza for dinner not last night, but the night before. I'm up .4 lbs. You guys, it's a flux That is a fluctuation. You know what I always say, maintenance is a range, not a number, and I am at the low low low end of my maintenance. So, I am totally fine with my .4 gain. It's a fluctuation. Life has been lifing, and I'm actually truly proud of myself for being able to maintain my weight through everything that's happened in the last less than year. Pretty much starting from when Lola passed away. Up through this whole thing with Bomb Party, this big transition, you know, moving into our house, all the things. I've been able to maintain my weight loss, and that is amazing to me. I actually have hit maintenance in 2022, and it is 2026. So, I've maintained my weight now, you guys, for 4 years. And that is huge. That's huge. I'm really proud of myself for that. That's a big feat, for sure. And I will say maintenance is harder maybe even than losing weight or equally as hard. So, I will put up here on the screen my .4 gain, my current weight, and how much I have lost total. And again, I'm thrilled with this. I'm proud of myself. I definitely want to hear from you guys. Let me know how you've been the last couple of weeks. Has life been lifing for you? Let me know down below and I am back to my normal routine. You guys will see a grocery haul tomorrow. I will be meal prepping on Sunday. You'll see that on Tuesday. I'll have my what I eat in a day. We'll be back to normal. I am glad, however, that I did take a few days off this last week. It allowed me to get caught up. I did spend some time with Troy and Palmer. We just we played ball outside a lot. We sat outside in the evening when it was nice. So, I'm really glad I made the decision to give myself those few days off. It was It was definitely needed and thank you for being patient with me. I know things haven't been as consistent. I can't guarantee that they will always be consistent. My life is very different now, but I'm not going anywhere. I will continue to be here on YouTube. I appreciate you guys being here, watching my videos, always supporting me, and of course, I will see y'all in tomorrow's grocery haul. Bye, friends. >> [music]
