april update

Hey Hey Hey!!! Today is going to be a great day! I am finally getting the lawn mower fixed and my lawn mowed.

Weight: I lost a total of 8 pounds last month; 17 pounds left to go and I will have lost 50 pounds for the year!!  Furthermore, a bunch of other wonderful things are happening this year.

Switching jobs: I am finally leaving Wal*Mart after almost 2 years. I left because I believe that its time to move on and achieve something better in my life. I would have liked to promote but that did not seem to be in the cards for me anytime soon so I found another place and will be starting there shortly.

Lets chat about books:  I read Hunger Games and it was amazing! I loved it; then I followed it up by watching the movie with a friend from work and the movie was great too. There is some inner dialoge  that would have been great if it was added into the movie; however,  that would have made the movie three hours long and with those horrible movie theatre seats I don't know if my posture could take much more.

quick update

Well  March is here and alot has happened but I like to dwell on the negative so that is where I will put my focus. First off I am a klutz and I proved it by spilling tea on my computer again. Is this the second time? No, its the 3rd time. My keys are sticky and its kind of hard to type but at least I did not murder the poor Dell like I did its predecessor.
I am still holding strong on this diet thing. I lost around 20 pounds in January and in February a mere 5 pounds  was lost. However, in the month of March I will step up my game by adding walking a few miles on my days off. I had my first walk on the 5th and the second on the 6th and despite not have moved in many moons I am not terribly sore from it. This may also be because I doubt if I walked over 5 miles on either day.
Kind of depressed lately I wont go into it on here but I know it will get better in time. I need to stay focused and start taking care of me for awhile and stop worrying about others I guess. But its hard not to care; very very hard. Its my fault mostly because I am very judgemental and critical of others. That is a trait that I need to work on.
I hope your year is going well. Despite a few problem areas I am having a good year and looking for better days in the future. I am very much looking forward to seeing if I can make my weight loss goal of 50 pounds gone by the end of July.

Keep me in your prayers and I will keep you in mine.

Hey guys!!! Long time no blog.Just dropping in to give you an update about Lil ol' me. I am doing great on the diet; I have lost 23 pounds as of the first of this month. I was able to accomplish this with no exercise, cutting back on the sweets and no soda; Other than that I eat about the same. Also I have finished the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and adored it. He is by far one of the best young adult authors out there. Another awesome thing is Pinterest a new website I was introduced to and fell in love with. It has so much to offer in DIY and cooking as well as quotes and apparel ideas. I suggest you check it out. Lastly, I have started to crochet a blanket, hopefully it will be done by the end of the year but I make no promises.

birthday time!

Tomorrow is my birthday!! I will be 24 years old. Dang I feel so old. I have lots to accomplish this year and can't wait to get started. First off I would love to get well. I have had this flu thing for nearly the whole month of January. Second, I gotta lose weight and so far I think I have lost something. However, I have been too afraid to read the scale so I will check on that the 1st of February. Also I received my book THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green. I have been waiting for this book for so long and now I barely have time to read it.  Well until next time love peace and cheese :D

day 16

This will be a short blog but at least it will keep you updated on my diet or lack there of. I have yet to drink any soda and have still been a trooper when it comes to portion size. However, I have been sick for over a week now. I have this lovely cold/flu thing that has been sweeping the county. So, I have been eating odd things like for dinner all I had was grapes and water then had a sandwich at 11pm. Ughh oh well I keep telling myself I will eat normal once I get better. I hope that is sooner than later. How are your resolution's? Are you still at it after 15 days? Take care :D

diet day 2

Well I'm kinda on a diet. I say kinda because I am taking it slow this time around in hopes that it will yield more results. Despite the ever so delicious McDonald's breakfast that I was greeted with this morning I held my ground and resisted. Its still in the fridge so pray people pray (hahaha). Anyway let me tell you about my plan! I am giving up soda and only eat fast food once a week. I plan to add more fruits and veggies as well. Also I would like to cut out alot of sweets.
So far I am having horrible with drawls from the lack of caffeine. I feel like a crack fiend because my head is splitting in pain and all I want is just one more caffeine filled liquid taste of a Dr. Pepper. But I will resist it because it would be sad to give up this early in the game. I am still eating alot tho but at least all my calories aren't wasted on drinks.
Do you have a new years resolution?

2011

What a crazy year it has been! I finished school worked 2 jobs got a promotion lost some friends gained some friends learned to crochet and changed my look (had contacts wow did those suck and my hair; well it never stays the same lol). This year was calm to say the least in comparison to my past;  not to say it was not good, it was fine just not anything special; but would I do it all over again the same way? No of course not and anyone that says that is lying. Even the smallest detail could bring a better life. Why would you not want to make a bad day better?
I remember my last day at my old job I worked til 3am got up at 7am went to return my uniform then went for training at my new position (had to be there 9 to 5). It was a horrible day and night. I was so sick from running around so much that day; but, I was determined to do it all. Well, at the end of the day I threw up on the side of the road twice. I tell you this because this is a day I would change. Yes, its minimal but if that did not happen at least I would have had one more great day.
This new year I pray for a magnificent 365 days. One that brings happiness and change. I want to use my degree and take more pictures  and I want to go on a trip. There is so much to do and only a little time to do it.
Goodbye 2011 you challenged me and gave me so much  and I won't see you next year but "thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great" -fall out boy "thanks for the memories"
