I'm feeling...

a little claustrophobic at the moment. Maybe it's because I'm wearing a lot of layers. My ankle is kind of killing me as well. I started the gas station job today. Didn't smell one whiff of gasoline the whole time I was there. That makes me happy. I did, however, have to stand for 5 hours straight. I escaped to the bathroom for a moment just to sit down. I got a free breakfast sandwich today too. Thankfully...I was kind of starving when my boss gave it to me.

I need to look up ankle exercises. I don't think my ankle likes me standing up for mass amounts of time with no real break. Or maybe I'm just getting soft from having a sit down job for the past year.

....oh brain fart...

I watched the newer version of Pride and Prejudice last night. It was pretty great. I really like Mr. Darcy for the sheer fact that he's really such a gentleman. But I don't think I'll ever be truly in love with him because I actually enjoy working and things like that independence wouldn't really fly with Mr. Darcy. Even still, he's a pretty fine specimen. Anyhow, the movie made me start thinking of a certain formerly afro hair guy who just got a hair cut. Can I swear off guys for a little while longer? They're confusing. They say things that they don't mean. Ok...not all of them are horrible. I know a few guys who are just really good and kind. This former curly haired boy is part of the that group. I like him. I've never considered dating him because I liked his brother. But now that I know for certain his brother won't do anything about dating because he's too dang shy, I think I'm free to like the younger of two.

The end where Mr. Darcy has stepped out of Mr. Bennett's office and Lizzy goes in to talk to her father, that part always gets me. The emotion of it all...

Anyway, I can't really focus right now. My mind won't stay in the game. Maybe I need a nap...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of
