Blog withdrawls, goals and life...

So, it's been almost a month since I've updated anything on the internet. I figured since I was spending my amazon.com gift card, I might as well see what everyone is up to in cyber-land. Apparently, I've missed a lot. Not so much that I'm too far behind, but enough that I feel kind of bad for not keeping up.

I haven't had that busy of a month. Just work. I'm actually down to 1 job now. Hopefully I'll be able to find another job with the City of Provo and ditch the gas station job all together....hopefully. I'm really tired of all the drama that happens there. Who knew that with only 8 employees there would enough drama to drive me crazy. Drama includes: creepy co-worker who likes to poke girls in the side and try to tickle them (I yelled at him today and told him to knock it off), a missing envelope that contains at least $75 in change from a frequent customer and friend of the boss and people just not liking each other altogether. Most places I've worked, people have at least liked each other to play nice while at work and no one has ever stolen that amount of money from work and most people know about the personal space clause. I mean really, does anyone not know about the personal space clause? Sometimes I'll touch someone while talking to them. Like on the arm or the shoulder. But that's only if I'm comfortable with them and actually know who they are.

Uh...let's see...what else? ... Two friends of mine are getting married next week. My younger brother and his girlfriend of two and half years are finally getting married in May. It seems that a lot of people have been getting married in the past six months or so. I'm glad people are finding compatible mates and all, but lets spread the wealth and time frame here people!

Christmas and New Year's were spent with friends and family. My 2 roommates were gone for the majority of the holiday break and I just about went crazy. My furnace makes funny noises and my vent apparently likes to exacerbate the sound the furnace makes. Coupled with my imagination and being home alone for nearly 2 weeks...well, lets just say that I spent the night on the living room couch far from my vent and if by chance I did sleep in my bed, I fell asleep with a relaxing cd on loud enough to drown out the noise.

Oh and tis the season to go to the doctor. Since diabetes runs pretty high in my family, I get to take a 3 hour glucose test...did I mention that I have to fast for at least 8 hours before?? Its not big deal really, but the test has to be ordered by a doctor and the test itself costs at 100 big ones. Guess who doesn't have medical insurance OR 100 buckaroos?? If you guessed me, than you're right! I don't have the money to go see the doctor just for him to order a glucose test and then spend 4 hours of my time in a lab that will cost me a third of my rent. So I'm a little stressed out about that. I need to take the test. I need to do a lot of things that cost lots of money that I don't have.

Ugh...stress....

Oh by the way, I'm trying to give up soda all together. I tried to go cold turkey. I didn't make it past day 4. So I decided to work my way towards the goal. I tried giving up caffiene. Didn't quite make it past day 6. So now I'm working on only consuming Diet Coke. So far so good. I drink my doctor recommended 64 ounces of water on a daily basis. I only have soda 3 days a week. I'm going to try and cut it down to only 2 days a week and then to only 1 and then to none. Hopefully I can do this before the end of the month. This goal is on my short term goal list.

Needless to say, I pee a lot.

Oh! My very long term goal is to move to Hawaii in the year 2010. I wanted to move to California for a little bit. Hm...maybe it can still happen. Ugh...but then I have to do the tax thing for multiple states and thats never any fun. I'll have to come up with a plan. Maybe California for 6 months and then Hawaii for the rest of the time.

Maybe I shouldn't worry about it just yet? I still have to get my current money/job/health situation in check first before I go off traispaising around the world with my sister. After that, then I am going to look for jobs and get a hot body (hopefully) by the time I move.

Anyway, that's about it. My hands are feeling really stiff now. I think I might have carpal tunnel or arthrities.

Wouldn't that suck?

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
