Wow, it's the weekend!
I think the biggest thing going on in my life right now is this new healthy lifestyle I've taken over. I'm exercising at least 30 minutes/5 days a week and I sat down with my step dad (who is also doing this--with a personal trainer) and we planned out what I should be doing as far as exercise, eating, etc. I'm already feeling the effects and I've only been doing this for a couple days now. I'm taking it slow and only trying to lose 3 pounds a week. My goal by the end of this is that I was to weigh around 120 pounds again. I've been big for a long time now and I want to be healthy and feel good about myself again. Even thinking of myself as tiny again is hard to fathom and I get a bit teary-eyed.
...now don't get me wrong. I'm not going to become a calorie-counting whore or anything (no offense if you do this). I'm purely doing this for health reasons and for the plain want to be confident on the outside as I have become on the inside. I want my beauty to shine on the outside as well. I think of this weight loss as a bonus to my better health.
Besides all that, I've been working my ass off and still have 2 more shifts this weekend. It's getting better though because I'm not a total noob now. I only call the manager/supervisor over only a couple times now instead of every half and hour. XD
School's almost freakin' over baby! If I can count right, this makes if only 2 and a bit more weeks! Yes! This summer is going to be amazing. Which reminds me, I must remember to talk with someone at work about me taking a month off in August because I always visit my dad during the summer.
Anyways, I'm probably going to finish my laundry, clean my room, and goof off before heading to bed. I'm sure i forgot to write about something. This is what I get for missing a day of updates. *was crazy busy and/or near dead*
And yet again, I'm home alone for the weekend. My family and step dad's parents and sister (and her kids) all went camping. I was going to go but I was crammed with shifts at work. It's quiet and nice but I can't even enjoy the weekend alone because I have to wake up and get to work right off the bat then I'm getting home at 9pm every night so that leaves me with no time to do anything. *sigh*
