Good Things Take Time

Here I am again. Must do a quick little blog as I must catch the bus soon for work. On Monday I did go for a walk and I took my dog Jax with me. It was a good 40 minute walk and just what I needed to start off this week. After that I came home and took a break to let the dogs outside. I came back inside and did my 20 minute easy yoga DVD. Sadly I did not fit in those sit-ups and push-ups. My brother came over to the house and we hung out for awhile and then went over to Lucky's apartment. Bear joined us. It was a chill night, just watching TV and being with friends. Yesterday I wasn't good as I did no exercising, but I did play some DDR for a short two games. Does that count? You get a real fucking workout with that game.

Boots and I had our own date night after I got off work. Work was crazy. Only a three hour shift and I had eight tables come within 10 minutes. Not 10 minutes of the table before, in a span of 10 minutes. Was crazy but I plowed through it. Though afterwards I realized why my mind was going crazy. I had not written one order down, I memorized every single one. Crazy, CRAZY I TELL YOU. Boots then picked me up and we went mini-golfing. Was so much fun. We went to the course we thought had much less people. Screw keeping score, though we did pretty good. There was much kicking, throwing, and yelling at the golf balls. We skipped ahead about three holes when we got stuck behind two groups of people. Then Bear joined us. Boots mentioned that he looked like Sasquatch tromping through the course to find us. We had such a good laugh my cheeks starting hurting. After that we played in the arcade a bit. Skee-ball, Pigs Fly, and DDR were played.

We then went to Townhouse for $5 Burger night and to meet up with the rest of our friends. It was a wonderful end to the night and Boots apparently smelled good to our server. He even asked one of the guys in our group if she had a bf and for her number. Go Boots!

Well that's it for now, got to go catch the bus!

A Weight Issue

I went to the doctor the other day cause I had another cyst that decided to pop up. Had one a couple years ago. But this isn't about the cyst, not really. All I got out of the visit was $20 poorer and an acne medicine. But what I really got out of it was a real weight problem. I don't care who you are, when the tallest you'll ever be is 5'1, your weight shouldn't be 196. That's right folks, I weight 50 more than what I want to be at. The sad thing though, I thought I was only 30 lbs over what I wanted to be. There always comes a point (or at least there should be, when people who are overweight look in the mirror and say, "Who the fuck is that person looking back at me, cause it sure as hell shouldn't be me!" I feel disgusted with what I look and feel like right now. I said a month ago after I finished my Mud Run that I would take a week to recover and then I would start up with a slow exercise routine. It's been three weeks since then. Shows what resolve I really had. To quote one of my favorite songs, "I'm telling you, shit is FUCKED UP."

I'm a little on edge. I hate my weight. Love my haircut. Oh yea, after 15 years of having long ass hair I chopped it all off and donated it. It's already grown about three inches since I've done it, too. Now I can really start styling it and having some fun with my hair. I don't like the fact that I'm starting to buy new clothes that are LARGER. Ugh.

So today is Sunday. Tomorrow readers, if I even have any, I start something. I want to go for a 20 minute walk or so and also do my 20 minute beginners yoga DVD. If I can, I'll fit in 5 push-ups and 10 sit-ups. Who thinks they can keep me on track? My goal: drop 20 lbs by Christmastime, and fit into a size 10. Today is the 24th of June.

Let's see what this little Cali girl can do.

Hiatus Over

So I haven't posted in months, but trust me folks, plenty has happened in my life. I've dropped out of college, even though I've let my parents believe that I was kicked out. Not sure which is worse really.  I've been in a car accident. Was a 10-car pileup on the freeway. Not fun. I was fine except for a flesh burn from the airbag exploding. I currently have no car. I've done 6 paintings since my last post. Here they are:

I've made a whole bunch of new friends. I meet up with them every Tuesday night now. Bear and I are still going strong, though I'm wondering if we'll ever get married at this rate. I still work at a movie theater, but I'm getting slightly tired of that and am looking into other options. I'm going to start paying for a lot of my own things, such as car payments and insurance, phone bill, etc. Also I went vegetarian about 7 months ago and I'm still enjoying it. No, I really don't miss the taste of meat.

I think that's it for now. Stay tuned folks, I'll be around more often if you will :)

2012 New Years Day

It's interesting that a single day change can make people resolve to do things better in their lives. For the most part, I resolve to do better in every day in my life, whether that actually happens or not is a different story. Like today for example. I partied last night for the new year and went to sleep around 4am, woke up around 10:30am  fully functional. Makes me either sad I didn't get more trashed last night like I did the year before or creeps me out to think I drink enough to the point where my tolerance has gone way up. Either way, I'm up and awake. I've played two Dominion games and made myself breakfast. What do I do now? It's about 1pm and I have work at 5:30pm. I have about 3.5 hours to do things. Something I was debating doing was going shopping at the mall, making files on my computer for food and drink recipes I get from magazines, doing laundry, starting another painting, etc. I still have to shower as well.

Let's see what the day, or should I say new year, shall bring :)
