gifts

I never really know what I want for Christmas until I don't get it.

dreams...

... are hard for me. I'm naturally a dreamer but it doesn't always mix well with my other, extremely practical side.

Dreams are hard to maintain without hope. But what maintains hope? I'd like to order some of that please.

positive

I'm a complainer, which is ironic since I CAN'T STAND people who complain about everything. So... this post will be about happy and good things. (Even though I want to complain... a lot.)

We are having pizza tonight!
Tonight starts my weekend
I've lost 2lbs this week!!!!
Tomorrow is kitten day...<3

makeover

I've been watching What Not to Wear and I feel like my blog needs a makeover.

But I don't have time for that, I'd rather be doing other things.

I feel like I should post though.

It feels to me like blogging is dead. Most of the blogs I follow hardly update once a month. Maybe that's why I've followed the trend? Maybe I just don't feel like there is enough going on to blog about. I have a hard enough time trying to come up with what to say when people ask what I've been up to.

I'm a person who is very inspired by nature and its hard to be inspired when the world around you is mostly made of concrete. How do the people in NYC do it?

elliptical

I love my elliptical. Mostly because it's a mindless, quick, yet hard workout. Currently my elliptical is set up so that I can watch movies while working out. 45 minutes just flew by as I focused on Me & Orson Wells. Now I shall relax after a good days work and think of the delicious and filling all veggie minestrone leftovers I will have for lunch tomorrow. YUM!

ginger snaps

That's what did it. I had a fantastic day eating well and feeling well. But the Ginger Snaps took me down. The ultimate autumn cookie; with a crunchy outside and soft middle. The recipe I grew up with I made for my girls group tonight and we all loved them, (So did the husbands!). I think I ate three pounds worth *wink*. BUT now I'm about to head off on a walk with my Man so hopefully that will help balance things out. I wanted to grapple with Jillian again tonight but I've got a headache and a nice walk in the cold fall evening sounds a lot better than sweating in my living room listening to the neighbors watching NASCAR, or something akin, above me.

o.m.g.

So... I just realized that my birthday is in 2 months and 8 days...

I will be 23.

First thought: I'm almost 25 and that's half way to 30!!!

Second thought: I'm still too fat and unhealthy to be this far into my 20's!

Third thought: I should blog about this... Maybe talking about it on the internet will help me to stay focused.


So, whoever you are out there you are going to be privileged to my rantings and ramblings on the subject of health. Because what better way to get healthy than to start RIGHT NOW?

Goals:
Lose 5lbs by Christmas (small goals are easier to achieve)
Cut my sugar intake WAY down. I already eliminated soda pop back in July so that's handy.
Concentrate on healthy sized portions of food.
Work out three times a week at least.

YAY! Off to a good start. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes... Right now I have to go scrub my kitchen floor.
