Movers and Shakers

So, my sister and I finally moved back to Provo. It would seem that neither of us can get enough of Provizzle. We got lucky and found a place that included almost all of the utilities - except gas and electric - and found a roommate off CraigsList who isn't psycho. We are, however, looking for a fourth roommate. So dear readers, if you know of someone who needs a place, let me know.

Anyhow, in the midst of moving everything, buying groceries, and storage bins, I have come to find that I love WinCo. I love that store. Probably more than any other grocery store that I've ever gone to. They've got cheap cheese, Tillamook Vanilla Bean ice cream, 3 pack of popcorn for 78 cents, and my personal favorite - bulk foods. I bought honey, almond butter, 2 different types of flour, pancake mix, biscuit mix, jasmine rice, 3 different kinds of sugar, and a whole bunch of spices that were about 10 times - cheaper than the already bottled stuff at WalMart and Maceys. Seriously, if you loves spices as much as I do, WinCo is the place for you. I bought a pound of salt for less than a dollar. I bought cinnamon for 20 cents. I bought curry for 15 cents. WinCo freaking rocks!

*phew* Enough plugging stores for today. But seriously, go there. I bought a ton of food for cheap.

Well, folks, it's off to the couch I go. I have another hour of babysitting ahead of me and the remote all to myself. Plus, my shirt, undershirt, and the top half of my unmentionables are in the washer right now because it seems that whenever I babysit, I get stuff all over my shirt. Ugh...thank goodness for OxyClean. Love that stuff, too, by the way. =)

Toodles.

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
