 Alrighty, I think the mothers and I are gonna go to Disney Springs, so you'll just have another Disney Springs clip, but first we're gonna go to celebration because I think my parents need to mail something and my mom just likes going to the one in celebration because it's kind of like on our way anyway, it's that direction. So I think we're gonna do that, but I don't think I'm gonna vlog there just because that's really like all we're doing and then we're just gonna have some blaze pizza tonight. So this is my hair, I just, I washed it, it was all wet and as you guys saw I dried it, I'm just wearing it straight. I like curling my hair, but I think it just damages it too much and I really want to have like healthier hair just because of everything that I did. Oh, here's Valerie. Hello. Back it up, back it up. This is her outfit. Yes, as you can see I'm dressed splendidly today. Yes. Oh, you need help putting on your necklace? Yes, please. Oh yeah, this is her Christmas present. She always wears this necklace. And this is my outfit of the day. It's this cute little peach colored romper. It's showing up a little bit more like pink colored on camera, but it's actually more of like an orangey peach color, but none of my light tennis shoes. So this is the outfit. I haven't worn this in a long time, so I was like, oh, might as well just wear it because I was thinking about like the weather. It's super hot here, so I don't want to wear like jeans or leggings. And I was like, I haven't worn this in a while, so I decided to pull her out of the closet. Okay. So we made it to Disney Springs, and I think our first stop is going to be Blaze, right, Cherry? I don't show Blaze Pizza. Yeah, Valerie promised Cherry Blaze, so she's been excited ever since. We got our pizzas. Just remembered to vlog. Cherry was also too full for gelato. Eternity later. Okay. So it's been a couple days, actually, it's the end of the week, and I have this huge mess that I'm going to clean up right now. And then I'm going to pack because tomorrow is going to be super fun. I'm hanging out with my showman sister, Emily, you guys love her. We're hanging out tomorrow, and we're hanging out with my other friend. I was in her wedding, and we're going to just go to the beach. As I promised you guys, I am going to the beach with Emily, and my other friend is going to like show us around, and it's going to be so fun. So I'm going to pack for that and share with you guys what I'm taking, because we're going to the beach, and then we're having this like cookout thing, but I probably won't like vlog at the cookout, because like it just like nothing really is going to be like crazy that happens there. We're just probably all going to hang out, kind of like the other like barbecue. Maybe I'll get some footage of the pets, because their animals are so cute. But other than that, like I'm just going to probably like get some b-roll at the beach, and show you guys some pictures that we take, because we'll probably take pictures. But that'll be in the next vlog that you're going to see. And then I'm going to give you guys my update. And then I am probably going to edit this video. And then I am going to work on a channel intro for one of my good friends here on YouTube, Annie Dubay. She actually asked me to make her like a cool like handwritten intro. So I'm going to come up with some design options for that and then send them over before I start animating, because it's always the worst thing. Like once you like get a project kind of done, and then they're like, Oh, can we change this? This is this. So I like to do like the static, like what it'll look like. And then animate it. It's not going to be anything too crazy. It's like going to be really simple. But I just want to send her like different things and give her options. So yeah, I'm just going to start the time lapse now. I feel like I've talked a lot. I'm going to start the time lapse cleaning this up. And then we shall get to like packing and stuff because I'm going to like probably obviously shower and everything after the beach and all these stuff. Okay. So I think I have everything that I'm thinking I might need for tomorrow. I will show you guys everything. I have to just get these bags out of my closet. I use a lot of my bags for storage. Like as you guys can see here, I just have like stuff in this, which I try to clean this one out. So I have like a hat and then like all this. So I'm going to have to just put all my stuff somewhere. But this bag, I'm going to put like my cookout, like the after the beach stuff in this bag. And then I'll get my other bag out. So I typically use this for the beach. I think it's so cute. It's from American Apparel. This is like so old. I've had this forever. But I don't know if like all my beach stuff will fit in here. I don't know just yet. Oh yeah. This is a cute shirt, but I think it's too small for me. I'm either going to use this bag or I'm going to use this bag because they'd be like good to get sand in. I have this cute straw bag, but it doesn't fit anything pretty much. So as you guys can see, like I use all of this for like storage. Okay. So I decided on the long champ bag because it's a little bit more structured and it's like kind of this like plastic material. So I'm going to first pack my towel because like obviously I always forget at beaches they don't like provide towels. I don't know. I guess I'm just like used to the Disney resorts. But I remembered a towel because gotta have that. And then my bathing suit. I'm wearing the new one I got. I'm so excited because I again like I rarely ever like go out to like the beach or like pools in general. So it's going to be nice to get some use out of this. But I'm going to wear it. So I'm just going to like keep it out. I'm also wearing my flip flops over there. So I'm just going to keep those out. But I do have sunscreen. I want to pack this hat that it's like always hung up here. I have this other hat that I used to wear all the time like in 2014. But it's so floppy that like it's always in my face. So I just decided go with this one because it's a little bit more structured. Also guys, I used to love this bag. I have a video with this bag. I will what's in my bag video. I got this off Poshmark I think. And I used to be obsessed. Like this is one of my favorite colors. Like I love the hot pink, but I'm debating on selling this. So if you guys want me to sell it, then comment down below. But I really like it, but I never use it anymore. So I'm thinking I should sell it. But I'm going to put all of this stuff in here just because there's nowhere else to put it. But I even forgot I had this. If I remember, I will link down the video below where I show you guys this bag. I was like newly into YouTube in 2016. So yeah, it's a little cringe, but it's a fun little thing to make fun of me. Okay, so this is my outfit for tomorrow. I guess I'll just put it down here with my flip flops. Oh, I need a cover up. That'd probably be smart to wear because we're just meeting at her house and then we're just going to go to the beach. I guess first things first, we need some undies. And she was like, oh, also bring some jean shorts just in case. But I want to try this thing on. I haven't actually really tried it on. So I have this cute white skirt that I got from Target. I unboxed it here on my channel. And then I have this cute, this is actually a sports bra. But I kind of just use it as a crop top because when I actually work out, it's like not really supportive. But my cousin was so sweet and got it for me for my birthday, I think last year. And I really like to wear it just like as a normal like clothing item. So this is my outfit for tomorrow. And I'm also going to wear these shoes. I'll probably take them off too just so I remember to pack them. Oh, that reminds me, I need socks. And then for like my shower stuff, I just like using my own stuff. So I just have my shampoo and conditioner. I was going to take my Moroccan hair oil, but like it's just too hard. I just washed my hair. So I'm hoping I won't need this stuff. This is heat protectant all Orbea. And then my scrubbies. So just because I don't know. And then my makeup here, I'm assuming she has a hairdryer. So I'm just like not going to pack that. Okay. So I found my cover up. This is actually from Lily Pulitzer. I got it when I was like on sale, like probably three years ago. I'm just going to wear this over my bathing suit for like when we're driving there. Yeah. I think I have everything. I need to get some socks though. Okay. So this portion of the video is going to be at my week 73 update of my fitness journey and like what I did this week. I am trying to make these videos a little bit more entertaining because I don't know. I just, I'm trying here. So I'm just going to go through with what I did this week and show you the progress photos. There's not like much to update on. So again, that's why I like try to include like more content. So I hope you guys enjoyed that part because I don't know. I feel like sometimes I vlog stuff and I think it's going to like be boring but weirdly enough like I watch things that I think other people would think are boring like other YouTubers. But somehow like I watch it and I'm still entertained. So maybe that is what it is for you guys. So I don't know. Might as well try. So this week on Saturday, obviously I didn't do anything. Kind of just like take Saturdays easy. Sunday, I will say I was so unmotivated. So I wasn't going to work out Sunday. I ate lunch and I was like, okay, I should do something. So I did Pamela Reese trained waist. It's a good one. I mean it is a little challenging if you're like you've never done those types of workouts but it was good. And then I did the Chloe Ting arm workout. It's basically like her basic tone arm workout. It's like 10 minutes. And I was so full and bloated obviously from eating. So it was it was definitely not a good day but I was like, okay, at least I did something. And then Monday, I really didn't want to do anything either. But I was like, okay, whatever. Let's just do it. So I was just it was just an unmotivated week like fitness wise. But towards the end of the week, which we'll get into I got more motivated. So Monday I did the 15 minute hit workout. And then I did a 15 minute thigh workout. Those are the only two workouts that I was even planning on doing just because again, I really didn't want to do anything. But I'm like, okay, 30 minutes at least of like physical activity. That's good. But then I'm like, okay, let's just do the 10 minute abs. So I did the 10 minute ab workout. It's one of her older videos. I don't know which one exactly. I can't really remember. Tuesday I don't work out because I was really busy with work as well. So I didn't do anything on Tuesday. Oh, I did want to add though on Sunday I took 9878 steps. I don't know if that counts for anything, but yeah, I did do a little something on Sunday or Saturday, I should say. I was going to count that it was Saturday. I'm sorry. I'm getting everything mixed up, but it was Saturday. And then moving on Wednesday, I did a run and I did the one like right before the 5k. So I ran 2.87 miles and I burned 299 calories. It was like a 30 minute workout run path thing. So that was good. And then I did the 5k badge run. So there you go. You can see. And I ran 3.12 miles and burned 302 calories. That was today. That was Friday. Overall a very good fitness week, but I was just like super unmotivated and really didn't want to do anything. Plus like work was just really busy and everything like that. So I don't know. I just have like a busy week, but still managed to get some physical activity in, which is always good. And then I ate really pretty well, to be honest. It's so funny. So we wanted four rivers last night and they were all out of chicken. And that's the main reason Valerie likes that place. So we go to, well, I wasn't going because I was still finishing up some work, but Valerie was like, okay, let's just go to fresh market and get something. Well, fresh market was only accepting cash because like their machine was down or something. But then quickly they fixed it. So we ate from fresh market. Like we got like a rotisserie chicken and stuff. So we eventually got fed. Oh, and Panda Express was out of teriyaki chicken. I don't know. Like what is going on? Like I know that their shortage is, but like it's just kind of funny because everywhere around here, like they don't have anything. Anyway, let me know down below if that's like happening in your area because it's kind of ridiculous. And we're just like, what is going on here? So we're moving on to the progress photos. On the left is Alex at the beginning of year two. And then on the right is current Alex. And then here is the side view of that. I really feel like my lower abs and stuff are looking a lot better and I feel like a lot less bloated. I know I mentioned that last video, but I'm still feel like I'm making good progress, which is always good because it always makes you feel good and like more confident and stuff. So yeah, I think that's gonna be about it for this video. Maybe in the next video or the next next video, you'll see the intro I'm creating because I'm excited for it. I hope Annie likes it. So I'll be going back and forth with her. But anyway, that's gonna be it and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye. I'm riding on the dizzying high.
