LA Weight Loss
I know it has been awhile since I've updated this thing. I have no excuse like I've been busy, because we all know I'm wasting time on the computer playing geeky games like World of Warcraft and Tactical Ops. But I must admit that I have come to terms with my dorky self and am not ashamed that I like who I am. I'm different and quirky, but I'm the real me. I have a few friends, and enough virtual friends to keep me busy and feel like I've properly socialized.
One thing that is new, is that starting July 5th, I went on a diet. I first started with Nutrisystem, but the food was disgusting for the most part, and it was so high in sodium, that my parents, Monica, and I were concerned that this was not a safe and healthy way to lose weight. So after about three weeks of that I switched over to LA Weight Loss, and I must admit I like it a lot, and it isn't very hard to follow the diet and lose weight, which I am excited about. I lost 7 pounds on the Nutrisystem plan, and after a week on LA Weight Loss have lost 4 pounds, for a combined total of 11 pounds! I am very excited with my progress, I know that in the past 11 lbs. in a month would be depressing, but I'm not in a rush to lose the weight, I really want to have a healthier life style, and if that causes me to lose weight slowly I'm okay with that. Every other time I've "dieted" I never really lost any weight, or if I did, I immediately gained it back, so I am happy. I'll repeat that I am HAPPY!!!!
Monica is dating this guy named James. It has changed our friendship in that we don't spend any evening nights together, but I'm slowly getting used to spending the days with her, and going out to eat and shopping. I get angry sometimes, well maybe more jealous of the time she spends with James, but it's her life and her boyfriend and I'm having to learn to share. I haven't met the guy, and I really wish Monica would make an effort to let me meet him, since we are best friends, and I would want her to meet my boyfriend (if I ever get one). But it is what it is, and instead of being angry and possibly losing my friendship with her, I am trying to be accepting and let her do what she wants as long as it is not really hurting me.
August 5th, I sang my first solo at Eastwood Baptist Church. I sang "I Choose You" which was originally sung by Point of Grace. It went really well, even though I was extremely nervous, and was doing everything in my power to not show that my hand was shaking (the one holding the mic that is). I think it was a success, at least I hope it was. I really hope the message came across and that someone was blessed otherwise there is no real point for me to sing. I won't even begin to entertain the idea that my voice is great, but I do hope and wish and pray to God that he uses my voice to bring his message to light, so that others may begin to understand His wishes and His desires for our lives. I must admit that I enjoyed it, and hope to have the opportunity to sing more solos or duets in the future. I need to find some more songs with catchy messages, so that I'm prepared if I'm ever asked again.
Well I think that is all for now. Oh yeah. School starts in two weeks, I am excited and I'm sure that I will have something to comment about by then. Until then!
