[Jill has been dabbling in the 4 Day Diet and sharing her journey with us. See how her first week went here.]

Week Two was a lot harder for me than Week One. I lost 4 pounds in the first week, but my typical yo-yo self sees results and then thinks it’s a free for all. The Smooth and Protein Stretch modules gave me a lot more choices, more flexibility and my favorite 5 letter word: P-I-Z-Z-A. Holler. Surely any girl watching her weight would do a Kirsten Dunst in Bring It On type cheer if instructed to eat TWO pieces of pizza. But not me.

Because I knew once I started with the Pizza all hell would break loose.  And by hell I mean the inner voice inside of me who tells me that while watching TV, I should devour everything in my kitchen. She really is a biznatch, that voice. Sometimes I think that eating a little more peanut butter on a spoon with chocolate chips will shut her up. But sadly, that chick is too legit to quit, and even the recent salmonella threat won’t scare her away. Not-a-chance.

Not that I like to blame everything on that time of the month, but I think I had a harder time staying under control this week because I was so. very. PMS that even my boss noticed me crying at a commercial. True story.

By week’s end, the scale was back up the 4 pounds I was down; I’m hoping it was because of my monthly visitor, but after the amount I consumed (fresh baked banana bread, anyone?) I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just from over-doing it. Read More »

I can’t help but notice that Kirsten Dunst is not on our good side lately. By “our” I mean the tabloids, the gossip hounds, the audiences, the critics, and basically everyone on the planet in general.

When I was growing up, Kirsten Dunst was the envy of every little girl, because she got to kiss Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire. Then, we all hated her because apparently she commented on not liking the kiss. But she was like, ten, and he was like, thirty, so I guess in a way, it’s good that she didn’t like it and described it as “yuck.” But then again, it’s Brad Pitt. Who wouldn’t like kissing Brad Pitt? I would! But, whatever.

THEN, Kirsten fell off the big screen for a while. No big deal. We got over it, but in the back of our minds we were like, “Hey, where did that creepy girl who kissed Brad Pitt go?” She did some random movies here and there, including a made-for-TV-movie, Fifteen and Pregnant, which now I really want to rent. That’s gotta be a winner.

But when she came back for Bring It On in 2000, she was totally popular and cute and accepted – the next big thing! That movie was likened to Clueless, and she was likened to Cher Horowitz. Although in my opinion, Clueless and Cher Horowitz can never be replaced, as it’s the true classic girl flick. Read More »
