Dang it.

I was rereading my old blogs. I was so much more witty then.

SOMETHING FUNNY HAPPEN SO I CAN BLOG ABOUT IT!

I worked out today with my trainer. Woot.
Also I cooked a very healthy, very yummy dinner.
Here is the recipe:

Chicken/veggie soup

Boil chicken for about an hour.
Pour in can of chicken broth.
Chop up veggies (I used carrots, celery, and brocolli) and put in pot.
Let cook for like 20 minutes.

The end. Sooooo yummy, and only about 300 calories :)

Unstoppable!

That is how I am feeling today... unstoppable! Currently all I do is work. And I have realized that my blogs now compared to my blogs 2 years ago are extremely boring. And that is because nothing exciting happens anymore. I graduated college and I am in this awkward stage where I am not in school but not yet pursuing a career. And I don't have a boyfriend so I can't decide where to focus my energy! Until I decided this week that I am going to focus all of my energy and thoughts on becoming a stronger, healthier me! Until I reach my final goal of losing 70 pounds, that is going to be my main focus. Maybe I will turn this into a fitness blog. I mean, that is helpful to people... Yep, it's decided. I am going to blog about my feelings, success, failures, workouts, and meals. And maybe I can inspire someone who has struggled with the same things that I have struggled with.

So let's see... I have been with my personal trainer since August 11. And since then I have lost 17 pounds. I was losing pretty quickly until the last couple weeks. I have hit a plateau. I sometimes just have these days where I can't focus on anything except food and I all of a sudden just eat everything in the house. And then I feel awful and run to the scale and see that I gained like 2 pounds and then I freak out and get so upset and then I eat more because I am upset. But my goal is to stop doing that! So today I had a burst of motivation and I am ready to push past this plateau and keep losing this weight!

So here was my day today: Work 8 hours. Eat 1500 calories. Run 2.5 miles- burn 250 calories.
Good day.

So here we are October 14. 17 pounds down. 53 to go. Let's do this! :)

Grown up.

I just wanna be a kid again. Merr... So I was all content and livin life until yesterday. I love my life. I am so happy. But I can't help but wonder if this is where I am supposed to be [or not???]. I went home yesterday for my sister's birthday. It was so much fun! I miss my family alot. And when I told my little brother that I had to leave so I can work tomorrow, he said "why can't you just get a job here?" And then cried and asked me not to leave. And then I was a crying mess. And that got me thinking, why CAN'T I get a job at home where I am close to my family? All of a sudden I just feel like that is where I am supposed to be. And I can get an apartment with my bff sister and start a new life, maybe find a new love, and get a real job instead of 50 nanny jobs. Something to think [and pray] about. But now the question arises: should I still start school in the Spring if I am going to move back home in the summer? What to do...

Two years later.

Well, I am back! It has been two years. I have graduated from college and I am living a brand new crazy life now. I work at 24 Hour Fitness and I am a nanny. I work about 10-14 hours a day. Currently I am trying to find what I am supposed to be doing with my life. I graduated with my BA in Psychology but now, I think I will go into teaching. So nowadays I am just workin and figuring out my place in this grown up world. Oh and lots of working out. My goal is to lose 70 pounds in one year. So far I have lost 15! Only 55 to go... Haha. Well, I am off to watch my sappy chick flick and lie around in my pjs. That's my Friday night.
