New changes

It's been since 2002 that I've been blogging, doing tutorial videos, and simply establishing my online persona so to speak. I've neglected this blog tremendously, and I apologize. My recent split with my blog partner has me lost and for a while I was completely unmotivated however, since a recent opportunity has presented itself and opened new doors for me.

To give you a brief synopsis from the last few years of blogging, we've toured the U.S. attending various plus size events and clubs. We wrote about our experiences, gave reviews and provided an unbiased review of their establishment. I learned a lot to say the least, aside from having a blast with some great people around the U.S. My partner has changed her life, lost weight and no longer wishes to be affiliated with the plus size community. Best of luck to her!

What's next for me? I don't know where to begin. I met with a clothing construction specialist a few weeks ago to get an idea of how to start my custom vintage and stylish plus size line. My inspiration to start my line derived from online shopping where the fashions were advertised as PLUS SIZED however, the model was a smaller framed young lady. My line will be customized for plus sized women, modeled by plus sized women and featured for plus sized women. I think it's extremely discerning to not see how the items will look on a larger woman. Not a slightly overweight individual, a LARGER woman much like the women likely to buy these very items.

I hope one day to be featured in Plus Size Fashion week! Good news is I will be going this year. I am working on more details and even registered to attend the K-Mart sponsored blogger brunch. Cross your fingers they pick me to attend! Nonetheless, I want to see first hand history in the making where plus sizes are given their own platform to be seen and recognized in our community. Plus size fashion week takes place June 16-18th more information can be found on their official website HERE. 

I have also submitted my business proposal for a plus sized consignment shop here in Jacksonville, FL.  There is currently one in the San Marco area, however the fashion caters to the older generation.  I want something more stylish, and hip.  Something like Plato's Closet but features plus sizes only.  With my modeling connections, I have obtained several closests full of clothing for retail purposes.  More details to follow when they are finalized!  Now it's time to find the perfect location, location, location! 

I will be attending a website management/marketing convention in San Francisco following fashion week in NY.  I know, a LONG flight from one side to the other but a very informative networking weekend with seminars to sharpen my skills.  I enjoy these nerdy kind of events! 

More to come soon!  Stay tuned... and Kris Alls Radio will return in the summer!

Plans....

On a better note, I am getting into better health. This stuff I have been taking is phenominal. I am NOT trying to lose a ton of weight... I repeat - I am NOT trying to lose a bunch of weight. However, I am trying to maintain a healthy living standard that will allow me to be around longer and live HAPPIER! If you want to know HOW I am managing to do that... this summer is going to be full of travel plans and tons of fun!! The weekend of July 18 I will be in Tampa. No other set dates or locations just yet but I will be sure to let you know! The next radio show is to be announced... so stay tuned

Enthusiastic.... to say the least

Okay.... starting with missed entries over the weekend - Saturday's yard sale wasn't as much of a success as we had hoped but nonetheless we had fun! We are rescheduling to hold another one at a different location with more advance advertising and tons more donated items. Proceeds are donated to Pace Center for Girls. Sunday was pretty relaxed... which led into a VERY long and busy Monday. Ofcourse I had to touch my feet at the job from 8am to 2pm, got off and ran some errands before getting all cute and professional for the Elements training with Nick and Pete. The energy was AMAZING... the testimonials were touching and the vibe was beyond motivating to get on top and FAST! I learned alot from this training, although I will say this... I WAS SOOOOOOOO hungry! I hadn't eaten ANYTHING all day~ bad habit I know but I was SO busy I didn't stop to eat. I found myself @ Mc D's (the epitamy of evil) where I ate a chicken club combo w/Dr Pepper. I know... what the hell was I thinking? I wasn't apparently because at today's weigh in I GAINED 13 lbs! 277 was the scale verdict and I couldn't be MORE disappointed myself. DO I let this discourage me? No, I use this as motivation to stay on top of my goals, plans and committments. The exercise MUST start ASAP no excuses! I can't wait to get my shipment of the SUPER product that is legend for being an all health promoting product for full body healthiness. Today, I skipped breakfast and worked a 13 hr shift stopping only at noon to get sushi. I did grab a snack around 3ish (a snickers and mini sausage & cheese) but drank TONS of water all day. Later that evening I had TGI Fridays Jack Daniels flat iron steak, mashed potatoes and brocolli & cheese. Yummmy but the timing was AWFUL! 9pm to eat? Shame times 2 Kris!

Goal for Wednesday: Eat 3 meals a day, no starving

Saturday 17th 11am - RADIO SHOW

That's right just a few hours away and I am going to be airing my show LIVE from the charity yard sale.. where donated items and money earned is donated to Pace Center for Girls. I have been busy getting things together for that event. Whew... glad when this is over! LOL - check out the show - www.blogtalkradio.com/kris-alls email requests, suggestions, topics, comments and/or ideas to kristinaalls@gmail.com

Thanks for stopping by!

So the first OFFICIAL show was tonight and went SOOOOOO well! I weighed myself online for the formal weigh in and I came in at 264 which is 3 lbs less than I started out and I haven't even been doing anything. No, I haven't started the wellness management plan yet! I am going to do the measuring and weight check in next week Wed May 21st and should have started the new regiment. ok, so you have to check out the show we had tonight! Denny Live (comedian who can be found www.myspace.com/dennylive) called in out of no where and made the show SUPER hot! Ofcourse my co-hose Jen made her debut and rocked the house. It was a late show 11pm est but still ROCKED! We talked about so many different things... went WAY off topic - but kept the conversation interesting nonetheless. Mentioned the new artist highlight and feature capabilities... and the appauling 911 call that had me enraged! Next show is Saturday 11am Arlington side of town in Jacksonville, FL. A portion of the proceeds go to Pace Center for Girls as well as items being donated to less fortunate girls in placement housing. Yard sale starts @ 8am and goes on til it can't be gotten any longer!

I am working on a cookbook so if you have recipes to add to this multi-cultural book of feasts email them to me at kristinaalls@gmail.com. That wraps up today's show! Til next time.... dream on!
