Christmas Recap

So Christmas was pretty fantastic. I slept over at my brother's house in American Fork and had Christmas Eve dinner there. Mexican style sans any cooking. We had homemade tamales that someone else made and posole that was mass produced somewhere in Mexico...or maybe California. For dessert, we had pan dulce. It was pretty great, laid back and delicioso. Christmas morn we all woke up around 8 am and opened presents. I didn't want much but I made off with pretty fantastic stuff. All the Santa presents my nieces and nephew got were wrapped in special Santa wrapping paper. It had yellow warning tape and postmarks printed on the paper. It was pretty clever wrapping paper if I do say so myself.

Now I'm home and packing my stuff - again - to move to Ogden, Utah with my dad. I still have to call him and finalize a few things, but I'm moving. This is the third time I've moved this year, but it feels like it needs to be done. I need to get out of Utah County. And it's time for a new start. New year = new start. Just somewhere else.

I don't feel sad that I'm leaving all the people I know here. Like at all. Sure, there are few people that I'll miss, but very few. Maybe all of 10 people at the most. It's time to make friends that I can call my people. People that I can count on. Who are loyal. I mean, of those maybe 10 people I'll actually miss, I can count on them most of of the time. I just need a little bit more connection though. idk. Maybe I'm just rambling right now. Actually I am. But whatev.

So, Ogden, here I come. And Weber State, please, be nice to me!


What the crap is that mascot? A tomcat? Duh...had to look it up but, I'll be Wildcat in just little bit. :)

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
