WAKE UP

The last few weeks I have not been sleeping well at all. I have this archaic dog that gets up in the middle of the night and barks until you take him out. -.- My goals for this year are on the rocks, but I'm slowly starting to balance things out. I have been having weird anxiety about things that I shouldn't. Worst part is that it keeps me from sleeping most nights. Sometimes I think about the future, when I get old and getting diseases. I also have anxiety about having to get up, and being worried about whether I'll get enough sleep, and then I don't get enough sleep hahaha. Taekwondo and this blog are sort of an outlet. That and World of Warcraft mwahaha. I have been keeping myself busy with work and trying to establish myself. I feel stronger than I was a few years ago though. Definitely more appreciative. I am finding pleasure in small things, which I was not able to do before. HUZZAH My fiancé and I are planning our wedding, of course finances have to agree, which they never DO. LOL. But we are deciding on a WoW theme, Fall theme, or LOTR theme...maybe all 3. Yeah, we are nerds...BUT traditional nerds, not the "Hi I'm an attention whore nerd." Anyway, busy day ahead. Check in later.

Starting over, YET AGAIN LOL

Hey Guys, Haven't posted in a long while. Was doing very good on my weight loss journey regarding exercise and such. BUT, I hit a rough spot a few months back. I broke my hand pretty bad back during black belt testing. I could not really move or do much for a few months so I gained some weight back, not much around 7 to 8 pounds. I have lost a few pounds, but not as much as I would like. I have hit a plateau as far as working out and eating go. I definitely have to step it back up. One step I took is to shop in organic stores where the veggies look pretty good haha. I also am starting a garden with my grandfather. I actually find it fun. I do NOT have a green thumb...at all, but we will see how this goes. My fiancee and I are also going to be fishing and doing a lot of outdoors activities this spring and summer, so I'm hoping that helps. My motivation level is pretty bad at the moment. I still can't do much with my hand as far as weights go, but I can do cardio. I can spar, but it has to be light or no contact, and running gets boring. I DID, however, try out this lateral machine. That thing is meannnnnn. BUT it gets the job done. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know I was back in action!

New Movie for Senior Projects

Here is a trailer to the movie I am working on for Senior Projects. This is a semester long project, so I will be a busy lady. Hope you enjoy.

I cannot count the days

There is no way I'm going to count my days anymore. I just can't keep up with everything. Good news is I have lost a total of 7.5 pounds, and that is within 30 days. So I definitely consider that success. Now, I have not worked out in the past week or so. I injured my foot by kicking someone in the face LOL. However, my workouts resume tomorrow after school. It will definitely be interesting. Aside from that I have been working non-stop on my Senior Project. I will be graduating this December, and I have to make some big decisions before then. Life is busy right now, but finally happy. I am making the best of everything and for once in my life I feel calm. That never happens. I thank God for my health and my luck. I really need to get back into exercising though. Holidays are coming up and I AM porking out on Thanksgiving.

Past few days

Good news and bad news. Good news is i'm down another 2 pounds, which makes a total of 7 pounds in 24 days. I think this is good, but I have not been keeping up with my exercise. I have not been sleeping the past few days and because of that I have not been exercising. Because I have lost so much sleep I feel depressed and just de-motivated. I have been eating well, just don't feel like exercising...help please. Someone slap me. One of the biggest issues I am dealing with is turning 26. I feel like all this time just past by me, and its bumming me out! I feel like I should be further along in life...someone please wake me up. I need a big slap.

Day 19 and 20

Ok so today was not successful, but yesterday was. I ate tons of veggies and chicken. However today I cheated by having one slice of pizza and a cookie. I did do an hour walk and a 45 minute Taekwondo class, but I feel terrible about it. Tomorrow I am starting the day off with hot yoga, and I got a bunch of fruit and veggies for tomorrow. I feel like I can make up for today if I work extra hard tomorrow. ugh. Gonna relax, feeling crappy

Day 17 and 18

I have been very consistent with eating healthier, unfortunately the past 2 days all the exercise I got in was 1 Taekwondo class and an hour walk. Lets just say its not a good week to be a girl. LOL. Anyways, I went up to Papa John's Farm to get some fresh kale, peppers, and tomatoes. I feel healthier eating it, its just I wish the weight got off faster. I think the biggest discouragement to me is wanting something so badly and then not being able to get it right away. I know patience is the key with this, I just wish I didn't get myself into this int he first place, but we live and learn. One thing I am extremely excited for this upcoming month is the Glen Burner. It is a 5k run and a 2k walk. So I will definitely be doing the two haha. Not sure I can run 5k all the way yet, but hell I will try. My boyfriend and I, along with a few friends will be doing this event. Anyone interested save the date. It is October 19th, at 8AM. The cause for this event is to end child trafficking so of course I will participate.
