I forgot to post last night. I also forgot to do my daily exercises, but I did a lot of cleaning yesterday. I had no idea how many calories you can burn by just cleaning. I ate Taco Bell and Pizza Hut yesterday, but I stayed within my calorie limits. Now I'm eating McDonald's for lunch. I keep making decisions that leave me questioning whether I ( Read more... )

I was down sick from the moment I woke up on the 2nd, up until this morning. Let me tell you, that was not fun. At least it was just a stomach bug this year rather than the flu like it was last year. Just like last year though, it hit everyone within days of each other. Holden got it on the 31st and Valarie and I rang in the new year in the ER. ( Read more... )

I am going to be posting on an almost daily basis now. This is going to be my journal, in which I record my trip to living healthier. I am 5'2 and almost 200 pounds. That is not a healthy BMI, therefore, I am changing something in this new year. I have downloaded several fitness apps to help me track my calorie intake, my water intake, my weight ( Read more... )

I logged on for the first time since my last post, and I was really confused. I think I like it, but I'm not sold ( Read more... )

My Sim, however, has had that pleasure. Though, quite frankly, if I were to be abducted by an alien, I would prefer it be The Doctor ( Read more... )

I finally quit freaking out over school. I had forgotten how much just writing this stuff down somewhere helps ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm walking on a tightrope, or something, and I'm about to fall. I'll either fall on the good side or the bad side, but I feel like it's out of my hands. I don't like it. I'm pretty sure that it's just my insecurities about school beginning to creep it, but... it's unsettling and I want it to go away. I feel like I can't do this, but I ( Read more... )

My little brother gave me his backpack, and he bought a new one. The backpack that I now own is still new, and it is lovely. This will make carrying my laptop to the library every day so much easier. As I'm sure that I have mentioned before, I am doing online classes. It is simply too loud in my house to get any real studying done. I just finished ( Read more... )

I found this brilliant YouTube user: TheCurtisParadisShow. I've only been subscribed for a few weeks, but I have gone back and watched all of his house building episodes. He's an absolute genius when it comes to building these things. They're all too big for my Sims game, but they are beautiful ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the end of an odd, but lovely year. I finally received my settlement (a whopping $8,000), started (online) classes for The University of Phoenix, got tested for diabetes (negative), Valarie and her kids moved in with us, I made a few new friends, and it snowed! Snow is a big deal for me; I absolutely love it. 2013 certainly took a ( Read more... )
