Vacation Time!
Quote of the Day:
A vacation is over when you begin to yearn for your work.
- Morris Fishbein
I only did the elliptical today. I was not in the mood for weights, I didn't want to be sore on the plane. I have been cleaning all day and doing laundry. I have my bags packed so I am ready for this trip. I have two books I really have wanted to read for awhile, so I'm excited that them. I love reading; I love words. I'm the worse speller and I hate reading in front of people, but I love reading.
I weighed in today and I lost a pound. One pound is pretty good for this holiday. I was thinking that since I really haven't done much this week, I would have had a gain, but it went the right way. After weighing in I went striaght to get my dress altered. I was just going to leave it the way it was but I tried it on last night and it was too long. I didn't want to trip on my way down the church. I do have to find silver shoes in New York though. I have better find shoes or it's not going to be good at all. I was thinking I'll buy the shoes for the wedding and New Years Eve since my dress is all black except for this really cute sparkle thing.
I have had so much fun hanging out with my sister and nephew, except that I have had to clean up after their mess. However, the house is spotless so I'm hoping when my roommate comes back she will say nothing about the house. She always complains... ok let's forget about her right now. Wish me luck guys! I'll be on vacation so I will try to come and post as often as I can, but I will be enjoying myself hopefully which will keep me from going online.

almost out of here

It's so exciting that
I am leaving to New York tomorrow at 11pm. I did go to Chicago in
November, but that trip didn't turn out the way I was hoping for. I had
major high hopes, but it wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be. However,
my bestie loves going out, I mean loves to go out. Thank goodness, her
friend who is also visiting doesn't drink, so I will be ok not drinking
so much.
I
still have to clean my house from top to bottom since my roommate and I
will not be here for a week. I have to make sure all the dishes are
cleaned, the bathroom is cleaned, the trash is taken out and that I do
all my laundry. You know when you have lots of laundry it starts to
smell (not me personally), well I don't want that to happen.
I did work out today. I did an hour on the elliptical and did my lower body. My sister and nephew are still hanging out with me until tomorrow. I was researching WW online and I went to the website and I began thinking that I should start going to WW meetings again. Maybe after I come back from my vacation I can start going to meetings, I think it would be good for me. I really have nothing else to do.
I'm
really serious about it this time. I was talking to my sister and she
said that she can't wait til I lose weight because it's all I talk
about and it's true. There are two things always on my mind: weight and
money. I am always talking about wanted to be thinner, I want to fit
into this and that, and how broke I am. Seriously, I think that when I
lose weight, I won't be so obsessed with my weight.
Anywho, I'm going to go to bed since I have to get up early. I just want to come by and say a few words. I won't be on as often since I will be out of town. I just wanted to say that I might come here and there... if not, I'll see you on the 7th!

Found a Dress
I went shopping today and I found a dress. It's size 16, which I haven't been in like forever, but it's perfect. I definitely feel good about it. It's really the only one I felt comfortable in. So now I am ready for New York. I've been watching movies all day with my sister and nephew. I am so bored!!! I can't imagine my life without things to do.
I wasn't able to go to the gym today because my gym was only open certain hours and I didn't know. So I will be going really early tomorrow so that I can get my stuff together.

Christmas Day Blues
Today was a very boring day. I honestly didn't do anything and that's ok. I hardly ate that much today and that's ok as well. I just am thinking about what I am going to wear during New Years. I'm really scared I'm not going to find anything. Please please please God help me find something nice!!!

Merry Christmas
First and foremost, I would like to say Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you had a great day! My Christmas was very eventful, but we'll get to that later. I went to work for 4 hours and went straight to the gym. I did an hour on the elliptical and worked on my upper body. I was going to get ready there, but I ust decided to go home and get ready.
I picked up my sister and my baby nephew to go shopping. I love him so much. He is getting so big and he's just such a joy to be around. He's learning some bad habits of his father and my sister, but I hope it will go away soon. I dropped them off at her boyfriend's house before I went home.
I just spent the evening with my mom and sister. It was quiet but it was nice. Then my mom got a phonecall from my sister and she was crying. She ended up coming home with baby, but it was bad. I guess they got into a fight and her boyfriend got crazy. He even scared my nephew where my sister said that my baby was crying. Man, I hate that guy. He has done nothing but make our lives miserable. I hope my sister learned this time. I told her to remember my nephew crying when she thinks of going back to him. Hopefully, she doesn't.
I can't go to the gym today because it's closed of course, but I will get my butt up on Friday and go to the gym and then another try at finding a dress for New Year's.

Sore Legs
Today was a really good day. I worked hard, had a holiday party with my co-workers got my computer updated. It's been really slow lately and I had my co-worker fix it (hopefully). I don't think it's fixed, but at least she tired. I was also able to meet some new staff members since my boss took this program recently. I met these 3 new girls and they seem cool. We're trying to get everything ready for orientation on the 8th of January.
So it snowed so much today. I think it was like 8 or more inches. I wanted to leave early because the roads were crazy. I think that people get really crazy on the roads when it snows. There were lots of accidents. Anyway, I made it to the gym safely, that's all that matters.
There were hardly any people in the gym which was nice. I don't like to be surrounded by lots of people when I'm sweating. Anyway, I did 55 minutes on the elliptical and worked my upper body. Man, lifting weights is tiring. I don't think I would make it on the Biggest Loser because when it starts to hurt I just want to stop. I wouldn't be able to deal with Jillian or Bob yelling in my ear telling me to keep going.
I'm going to go buy a dress tomorrow for New Year's Eve, so wish me luck. I don't know if I'll find anything comfortable, but I have to find something! With that in mind, I will have to go to the gym early in the morning tomorrow. So I need to go to sleep ASAP!
So I am home finishing up this blog, and then I'm going to go make dinner for the next couple of days, clean my room up a little bit, and take a shower. I think a shower will be really relazing.

Sore Arms
I woke up today with pain in my arms! It was too crazy how much it hurt. I was so surprised that weight lifting could do so much damage. Even though it hurt a lot, I am happy because it means that I am working hard! At first I was thinking I did something wrong while sleeping, but then I remembered my gym trip. I totally feel the burn today that's for sure.
I forgot my lunch, but I was able to get some Subway. I need to work on my Pepsi intake. I love soda and I think I drink some everyday. I really just need to bring my water bottle every where I go (which I forgot at home as well). After work, I went to the gym and did 50 minutes on the elliptical and worked on my lower body. I was so hot and sweaty. By the end, I was so tired. So I am really looking forward to working out tomorrow. Crazy huh?
I wanted to go to my mom's house, but I was too tired. So, I decided to go home. I have lots of plans for the next couple of days. I will be staying the night at my mom's house on the 24th since we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. I'm not expecting anything, but it would be nice to hang out with the family.
I'm also going shopping for a dress on the 24th of New Year's. I talked to my bestie in New York and she said I have better be wearing a dress on New Year's Eve or else. There's a dress code, and blah blah blah. I do not feel comfortable wearing skirts or dresses, so hopefully I find something good. Then I have to take it to get fixed with my bridemaid's dress so I can send that out by the 27th.
Too much to do in so little time!!!

Productive Day
Well, I had a very productive day. I woke up really early to drop off my roommate to the airport. She was freakin out like she was going to be late and it was going to be my fault; however, as we were driving by she wanted to stop for coffee... this girl, I swear. She is a character but you got to love her.
Anyway, after dropping her off (for the nest two weeks; I get the house to myself), I went straight to the gym like around 10am. This is the first time this fall that I went to the gym so early. I think now that I don't have nothing to do, I will be going to the gym in the morning and after work. Hopefully, this will keep me in line. Anyways, I did 50 minutes of the elliptical, stretching for 10 minutes, abs work for 10 minutes, and 10 minutes on my upper muscles. I think this was a very good gym trip.
Now, I am relaxing after many hours of cleaning the house, doing laundry, and cooking dinner for the next couple of days. I think that this will be great so that I don't spend money on going out to eat. That is my downfall. I spend money like I have money.
I did WI this morning, and I maintained. I think it's becuase I'm starting to weight lift, but I'm going to the gym a lot so I hope that next week will be good lose for me. I am going to go to the gym a lot this week so I realy hope for a good lose!! I am going to make my meal plan for the week and my schedule as well so hopefully I will stay on top of it.
