Two Weeks

I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to my day off tomorrow. Seriously, though. Even if I've only worked 3 days this week so far, I am so tired of dealing with customers and co-workers and just people in general. I need to sleep and be myself for a few hours. 

The friend I'm staying with this week is so kind and sweet. She has been treating me pretty much as one of her children, which I totally love. She's cooked dinner pretty much every night since I've been here and every morning I've gone into work, she makes sure that I've at least taken a banana and a slice of homemade wheat bread with homemade jam for breakfast. It has been bliss. I don't know how I'm going to survive staying with my co-worker for the last 2 and half weeks of my time here in Oregon. I'm glad that I have both women in my life. They just have two completely different ways of life. 

But I'm ready to go home. 

Weird.

Utah = home now. Home is where the heart is, right? As crazy as my family dynamics were/are, that is where my heart lies. A HUGE part of my soul and heart will miss being so close to the beach. I seriously have not gone to the beach nearly as much as I've liked to since being here in Oregon, but I'm hoping for at least 2 more trips to the beach. One with my friends and one with my brother and his family. I'm so excited to hang out with my nieces and nephew again. so. excited! 

Life is moving too fast and not fast enough at the moment. I want the next 2 weeks at work to go quickly, but I know that I'm going to miss my friends/co-workers. I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I'm a little sad about leaving them. Maybe, when my life is a little more in order, I'll come back. I am promising myself that I need to come back for a visit next year in the fall. 

Anyway. It is time for me to keep on detoxing on facebook. I have spent less than an hour on facebook and facebook related games in the past 5 days. 

I'm pretty impressed with myself.

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
