On My List of Things To Do

Tomorrow is pay day and I've already burned through 3/4 of my paycheck. Of the things that I've budgeted this paycheck for, none of them aren't even remotely fun. There's my student loan, drivers license renewal (which I'm mad about because Utah doesn't do online renewals anymore), electric bill, phone bill, dentist appointment (for which I have to pay all expenses out of pocket), TriMet bus passes for two weeks, and an enrollment fee for a Medical Insurance Billing and Coding program I want to do. All of this leaves me very little to do any grocery shopping.

Here in the Beaver State, I probably qualify for some sort of assistance. There's a lot of poor people here. A lot of people who work as hard as they can and yet, can't make ends meet for themselves let alone their families. It makes my head spin. I'm one of those people that hate asking for help for anything. I hate it. If I can do it on my own, I don't ask. Even if it means I go without groceries for two weeks.

*sigh* I hate being a grown up sometimes most of the time all the time.

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. :-]

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...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
