I hate the "N" Word. I find it offensive yet it seems that everyone uses this as a common noun. Its not just African Americans that use this term it is now coined by everyone at this point. Yes many African Americans use the term in their songs and day to day vocabulary and I understand that. They feel that word is theirs because many years ago slaves were called that and now some African Americans feel that using the word gives them power over it.
In my opinion the power that they seek from this word is weak. It was derogatory then and it should be derogatory now. Am I the only one that finds it awkward and offensive when other races use the term to identify their friends? Hell I find it offensive when black people use it. "But Whitley blacks use it all the time why can't I? says the non black person. Because it was(is) used to hurt people!!! that's why you should not say it, DUH! It should not be used as a common courtesy and sign of respect for one another.
I feel the same way towards homosexual slurs and any other term that is used to degrade people.

Starting Over!
Today marks the day that I start my diet over again. Given today is also the day that I had to get my car jumped for the very first time but I digress. That was a mere moment of anger and a lot of money that I had to put up with today. However, that will not stop my JOY. Anywhore(ya i did that on purpose) I am joining the gym today with my friend Maria so that we can get ready for our friends wedding. I gotta look better than the bride(don't worry I already told the bride that this was my intention). So I am cutting my calories and working out 4-5 times a week I cant wait this will be so fun and rewarding. I will put up my weight and measurements once I get to a weight that I'm not too embarrassed to share. Also that means more updates on here!!

The pain of change
In most cases I hate change. Change is inevitable but that does not mean that I have to accept it. Why can't people and situations stay the same? They say if you want to accomplish more and to grow you must change. I want to accomplish more I want to grow; however, I rather those things come easy without change.
I stress easily this usually occurs when something is changing. I over eat when stressed which comes from the change. Change is making me fat. Change is stressing me out.
I decided today that I am going to make a change and that change is me not freaking out when something changes. Lets see how long this will last. As I grow near the age of 30 I have to (at some point) "grow up". As of right now despite having a full-time job and paying bills I continue to be very childlike. This too will have to change.
The time has come to CHANGE.

The joys of change
Well I am well on my way at my new job. I will be selling cell phones. I am excited and nervous. But I have been praying and I know that God gave me this position for a reason.
Weight loss is at a stand still which is driving me crazy. I have been flirting with 5 pounds going up and down the entire month. It maybe because of the changes in my life as of late but I have not given up yet. I miss soda all the time!! Every time I see a Sonic cup I crave vanilla cream Dr. Pepper's and cherry vanilla root beers. But I will shy away.

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.
