Goal Update

First Update: No soda for around 3 weeks!! (Bad news that I noticed... I was still drinking beer which is pretty much the same thing: Carbonation) :( SIgh....


Workout: I tried Insanity for the workout test on saturday and as I figured it would be its out. ;) No way I can get through that, However I did decide I want to do at least some of it or find a light work out to do everyday until I finally get my car fixed and a gym membership. It felt great to actually work out even for the little I did. I also did a mile walk down to smiths that day (was going to walk back home but ran into some issues and didnt think it through very well) Needless to say I was very very sore the next day. Now to just get in the habit of every day...

Counting Calories: Started out good until I decided to drink.... This whole counting calories and losing weight is almost impossible with my drinking habit. I am not an alcoholic or maybe I am I dunno but there are sooo many calories in one drink and I never drink just one. It kinda kills the whole plan.

Thoughts: I am so torn on wanting to lose weight or drinking. I do NOT have any desire to give up drinking, I enjoy it too much at the moment. But it seems to conflict with losing weight and I desparatly need to lose the weight. I have NO self Esteem and its making it very difficult for me to get over this whole divorce I chose to go through and move on in life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan of Action:



  • Still No Soda (As much as I really want it)


  • Still going to try to get in the habit of doing some sort of small workout every day


  • No Drinking Sunday - Thursday at least and most weekends only one day on Friday or Saturday


  • Eat less calorie foods on days drinking- Eat no calorie foods such as tomatoes or cucumbers if hungry those days


  • Try to drink Lower calorie beer or mixed drinks to get rid of carbonation.


We shall see how it goes

Birthday






I was skeptical about taking a day off for my birthday but I am way glad I did. It was so much fun and relaxing. My brother Carter picked me up bright and early and took me over to my Aunt Angies to play with her cute little boys and hang out. I love hanging out with my cousins and my aunts/uncles and I havent been able to in forever. It was a blast. We took lots of pictures, played a board game, and tag. Angie then took me out for lunch and Ice Cream. While at lunch I noticed my little cousin Gabe (our little Dancer) loves to lipsync to all the songs. Its so dang cute!!






After Angies my mom picked me up to go over there where she had made me a bunny cake like when we were little. With my favorite color Blue and Coconut. My roommates and Friends Mike and Melissa picked me up and we all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with our other roommate Josh and my friends Matt and Mandie. Mandie was so nice and nuts and bought all of our dinner, as well as a way cute little Lady Bug Candle and scents that smell amazing!

Missing Old Times



Ever Catching yourself missing the older times and wondering when life got so complicated and so many issues? Im pretty sure I have too many issues I need to get over, move on and forget. But I tend to have it easier said then done. I really wish I could let things go easier then I do. I may look like Im fine all the time but I sure dont feel like it every now and then. But Eh such is life, right?
