Well, my chemical peel is over, and after almost a week I’m already noticing the difference. I’m looking much more photogenic now! I’ll definitely be keeping up a regular regimen of them from now on. And my face is even starting to look better in additional ways: my fat loss has progressed to the point that those stubborn areas in the face and (especially) the neck are starting to come off.
Interestingly, my weight is still actually a bit higher than it was in Europe, but my muscles are much better-formed now, thanks to my personal training at the gym three times a week…and a cycle of anabolic steroids.
Looking at my arms and leg, I’m not sure I even want to get any more muscular! Their current size is very satisfactory. I still don’t know how the abs look, since my last remaining 10-15 pounds or so of fat is mostly above them. But if the arms and legs are any indication I’m packing quite a bit of definition down there, just waiting to be revealed if and when that fat melts away.
So what I need is not muscle gain anymore, but rather weight loss. The semaglutide injections I’m on will help with that; I should have a trim figure in a matter of months, maybe even weeks. I’ve probably got enough muscle already for my dream body (it kinda snuck up on me over the course of all those training sessions), and since I’ve already been on oral dianabol for five weeks or so it would be a smart move to start tapering off of it before my liver blows up (the liver toxicity of oral steroids is overblown, but over a long enough time period, yes, they will do that, if you don’t cycle off of them for a whole).
I peaked out at a dose of 60 milligrams of dianabol, and over the last week I’ve come down to 50 milligrams, to no noticeable ill effect. So that’s leaving me optimistic that my natural hormonal balance will recover rapidly…only with more muscle left over than I could have ever built naturally over the course of a couple months.
I suspect I’ll be cycling on again (and hey, why not dianabol pills from the same provider, since it worked out so well the first time?), but at this point I’m comfortable tapering off and staying off for at least, say, a couple months’ time.
Weight loss isn’t the only goal I’ll be pursuing as we enter new year 2025. I’m continuing my beauty regimen.
I’m due to have my botox refreshed in a few weeks’ time, and I’m already feeling like I need it; the 11s in the forehead are coming back in the sun, and my vision is once again getting worse in strong light. Yikes. But feeling like it’s too strong in the first few weeks and too weak in the last few weeks is normal, so good job, botox injector!
I’m not really due to have my dermal filler in my face refreshed this winter, but I am approaching the nine-month mark, which is when I saw fit to have my second round after the first time I ever got it. Honestly, though…I think my face is holding up very well. I don’t look or feel like I even need a refresh. By the time I reach the twelve-month mark (my nurse said anytime from nine to eighteen months is typical) it might be a slightly different story, but my body is reacting really well to the filler regimen. Be it the cumulative effect of the filler that’s still in there or the stimulation of my body’s own collagen, or something else completely, it seems that my face is being acclimatized to its new dimensions, so going forward I might not need as much treatment.
Of course I could push the direction we went in my first treatments still further, layering more and more filler, which is a crucial component of how celebrities get to looking like they’re made out of plastic…but in my case it wouldn’t take too much more to make me look over-filled, and I don’t want that, so meh.
My nails are the latest addition; I’ve started getting mine just done professionally at the nail salon rather than doing it myself, and my new lifestyle in that regard is so dreamy. Especially with the colored nail polish, which I’ve been really enjoying of late, and intend to maintain. Yes, it needs to be redone every week or two, but that’s about when the nails need to be cut anyway, so win-win I guess (except for my wallet, but who cares about that?).
I’m also on a regimen of platinum blonde hair dye and waist-length extensions at the salon. It’s a place that’s literally in Hollywood and works on celebrities, and they got me looking like that too (helps that I have good features to begin with, but even if you don’t they’ll send you out looking better than any other salon in the world; they’re just that good).
In the interim I’ve also done another round of platelet-rich fibrin for the persistent dark circles under my eyes, but the clinic I got it done from earlier this month didn’t leave me impressed with their work. had a bruise on my arm where they drew my blood for several days, whereas my previous nurse practitioner never left a mark; and the dose of PRF they used was pretty big compared to the multi-stage treatment I got previously. It rejuvenated my under-eyes, don’t get me wrong, but it got me interested in looking at other options.
The girl at the spa I go to (who I get my facials from, peels and all) works at a plastic surgeon’s office in Beverly Hills, and that particular practice has everything I want! No, not plastic surgery: procedures like PRF, as well as laser treatments, which is the next (and perhaps final) frontier in my glow-up.
I’m definitely going after laser hair removal as soon as I can. Yes, I was putting it off until I had more money, but at the rate I’m going this will be my only chance to get it. I need to look my best: the sooner I look my best, the sooner I can be the best in acting, modeling, and so forth and actually make something of myself…so why delay?
I’m interested in getting laser treatments for the face as well. Especially in combination with a chemical peel regimen, laser resurfacing can get a person that polished, perfect, and, yes, plastic look that I want. It’s my understanding also that my stretch marks could be attacked by this place as well, perhaps in much more effective fashion than the radio-frequency microneedling I tried earlier this year (it did help…but only a bit, and frankly wasn’t worth the thousands of dollars I paid for it). Maybe my body too could be polished, perfect, and plastic!
Sounds expensive, but again, why delay? Especially since it seems I can afford to get all this stuff done. I’m in good shape to get professional headshots and photographs taken, and I’ve signed on with an acting studio to practice and hone my skills in that craft, as well as to get exposure to the industry (spoiler alert: it’s been super fun). By the time I’m in good shape to get rolling with that, I’ll be pretty much there as far as maxing out my beauty is concerned. There won’t really be anything more I can do. Just thinking about that is kinda mind-boggling, but I’m pretty much there.
Soon I’ll be tan, blonde, and to get some fun I’m going to need a new project aside from finding new ways I can be beautified. 🙃
I am looking forward to it, though…
