Hello lovelies!

I'm just stopping by since it's been a while. Not too much new has been happening with me, but I graduated in May! I made it, and I'm so so so glad to be done! Had a horrible backslide with my weight, but after some chastising from my doctor (and the very scary and all too real threat of me developing diabetes if I keep gaining weight), and my dad literally dragging me out of bed over the past two weeks, my parents and I have been walking for 30 minutes almost every morning. I've been making more of a conscience effort as to what I eat, and I've lost two pounds already! It's not much, but it's enough to keep me motivated. When I check in again in a few weeks or months, I hope to report more good news. Wish me luck!

Later lovelies. <3

P.S.-Here's your trance track of the day. You didn't think I'd forget, did you?! :)

So it's come to this. While I will never completely give this blog up (because the reason I started it was, and is, too important), I'm sad to say that my blog is going on a hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. School, as always, is kind of taking over my life and graduation is right around the corner. Besides that, I just don't think I've ever been that good at making and continuing blogs/twitters, etc. Call it a character flaw. :) I'll be sure to check back in every so often with tips, advice, recipes, and success, etc. Until then,

Later lovelies. <3

Hello lovelies!

I hope 2012 is treating you well so far. It certainly has been good for me. I have been enjoying my break from school and I'm so upset I have to go back tomorrow! I want at least another week of relaxation. On the weight loss/healthiness part of things, I'm doing a lot better! I'm trying to get rid of the slight holiday weight I gained and make eating vegetables a solid part of my diet. For some reason, vegetables are the worst thing for me to get used to. I'm a picky 5 year old at heart, what can I say? I'll get there though. And good news- Josh has decided to join me in planning to lose 30 pounds by May! I'm so proud of him, and plus I get a new workout buddy. :)

I think that's it for now, but I must include a new trance track! I found a duo on YouTube one day who call themselves Eminence, and let me just say- they make the best trance mixes ever (as well as house and dubstep songs)! So. good. Check them out for yourself! Until then,

Later lovelies! <3

Just stopping by before bed to post something for the new year! I have such good feelings about 2012, and there's more to come from me on here, so check back every so often. Here's to this year bringing good changes, happiness and success to you and yours. Love you guys!

Aloha, lovelies!

Can I just say that my favorite month is finally here?! Excited doesn't even begin to cover it! My birthday is also only THREE days away! I'm not all that happy about turning 24 (it sounds so old!), and even though this sounds a bit selfish, I can't wait for presents/money, haha. But really, I'm ready to just hang out with my family too because we haven't done that in a while. Last year I made my own birthday cake and I'm most likely going to do the same this year. As for birthday plans, as of right now, I have none. I was thinking of getting a few friends and Josh together and go out to dinner or something like that. I'll have to think on it more though.

In other news, school is nearly halfway done! It's actually going by really fast week by week; at least it has been for me. And I've been doing so well in my classes! I haven't gotten anything below a B. I usually have at least one C in there somewhere. But I'm not gonna jinx myself. :) I still need to make my FINAL schedule for next year, but these two classes are trying to give me problems. It'll work out though.

So, regarding weight loss and healthiness, I'll admit that I fell off pretty hard these past two weeks. Halloween candy is beyond tempting! Plus I haven't had too much motivation to work out or anything. But I discovered something that has really boosted my inspiration for healthiness X 10. That something is tumblr! It's a bit like Twitter, but it doesn't have a type limit and is very image-based in design. There are tons of healthy food and exercise blogs on there that just really boost my confidence and get me going! I still have a goal to have all my weight loss be done by this time next year, but because of tumblr, I've started to realize that it doesn't matter when you get to your goal weight as long as you start on the path.

Since I follow so many positive blogs, they're always in my dashboard (a newsfeed, basically) and are there to motivate me when I just don't feel like doing anything, or that I can do this at all. It's really exciting! Here are a couple of images that I saw today on my dashboard:

(For when I really want something awful for me!)

(Always a good thing to remember :])












I was going to end with some music, but I figured this is pretty long enough already, so I'll make a part two in just a second. Later, lovelies! <3

Oh my God.

All my classes have been conspiring against me for the past two weeks. Insanity! I can't tell you how happy I am that everything is done! I've really missed blogging and I'm so glad to be back. Since I haven't gone by my daily blogging formula for a while, this is mostly going to be an update/random post. So what's been going on while I've been going?

First of all, my dad's birthday was awesome! We had a ridiculously unhealthy weekend- we ordered from On the Border and had sooo much Mexican food! Haha. We didn't make it to go see The Lion King in 3D, but I heard that it's out for an extra week! We just might go this weekend.

I also finished Game of Thrones. I'm on to the second book in the series, A Clash of Kings. It's definitely official now, I'm obsessed with this series. If you still aren't reading them, you seriously need to start! The only thing I don't like about this book is that there's lots of new POVs from other characters, and I have a hard enough time keeping up with the main ones!

Oh, this is the best news from my break- my mom has been doing exceptionally well! So well in fact that her doctor said it would be okay if she went back to work next week! For those who don't know, my mom is a tutor for kids after school and I help her out twice a week. It's SO fun and fulfilling, so I can't wait. The amount of students, hours, and days she works are all going to be scaled back for the moment, but that's ultimately less stress for the both of us, which is good.

Hmm, what else? Oh yeah! It's finally fall, which is my absolute favorite time of year! The weather is changing, Halloween (an opportunity to watch tons of horror movies!) is just around the corner, and so is my birthday! Everything about this season is fabulous. I might cave in and make some chocolate spice cupcakes for the occasion. :) Anyway, that's about it. I'm so glad to be back to blogging. <3 Later lovelies.
