3 Years of Birthdays
I love looking at changes throughout the years so here is a picture of Kevin & I from my birthday in 2010, 2011 and 2012! I purposely wore the same shirt to see the differences :) I think it’s pretty funny!

Today is my 21st birthday :) :) I am all sorts of excited!
Tired of it.
I am so tired of being taken advantage of by some people. I take everything that gets thrown at me. I take it, and take it and take it. I let things go and I fight like it’s my last opportunity for something I believe in. But there is so much a human can take. There is only so far you can push someone before they completely give up on you. Before you completely just walk away for good. I give 2nd chances, I give 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th chances too. I think of every day as my last. I think about the future. But after months and months of what feels like incredible mental abuse, I finally stood up for myself and I feel good. I can finally breathe. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel like I can accomplish so much more in life without this depressing cloud following me around.
New start.
GUYS. When I get to my goal weight, this will be the bathing suit I will be sporting in the summer. Hot right? Thanks urban outfitters, without you I would never find suchhhhhhh a sexy bathing suit!

Rainy days
All I want to do is sleep. No but really, I know we all say that but every time it’s an ugly day, I seriously can’t get myself to get up and even eat! I just get so lethargic and blahhhhh. Whatever, I’m making myself get up and go to whole foods in a bit for some nom noms :)
WIW
It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these! Granted I didn’t weigh myself officially last week but my scale automatically records my weight so I’ll put it anyway & try to stick to actually updating weekly :)

This lady scares me… I’m not sure if it’s her intense cleavage, ripped abs or the fact that her accent sounds like my cousin who I secretly think is in the russian mafia (kidding), but whatttttt. I mean, POWER to her for being brilliant in the sense that making half naked workouts has gotten her tons of viewers & subscribers but I don’t think I’d ever wanna truly look like her. Judging by the comments, I suspect most of her viewers are teenage boys? She’s a LEAN MACHINE! I like SOME giggle in my step. Have you guys ever seen her videos? All her thumbnail pictures are of her butt of boobs. Hmm.. well played my friend.
So much delicious in one picture. I love you Whole Foods <3
!!!
So I’m in Tiffany’s right now buying something & the lady was showing me my chain & ended up thinking it was smaller than the longest one available and she goes “gosh you’re so thin I really thought it was the shorter one”…. WHAT NOW?
Food Documentaries
Lately I’ve been a bit of a hermit & have been staying home on my (broken) couch & watching food documentaries. I started by watching Food Inc. Food Inc. was really nicely done and super informative. It wasn’t exactly anything I hadn’t known before but it was still quite the wake up call. Then I watched most of Food Matters till I fell asleep, and next on the list is Knives vs. Forks & Fat, Sick & Almost Dead.
I’ve seen Supersize Me at least 400 times & I’m not sure what exactly I am trying to accomplish by watching these films except for general knowledge. While I would love to give up eating meat & eat super clean & do everything in my power to stop corporate America from taking over the food industry, I don’t really think I can. I will however find a way to support local farms that don’t hurt their animals or use pesticides to preserve foods. Who knows? The more knowledge, the better. My coworker is super vegan so he’s been teaching me a lot and it’s really just very interesting. I guess we’ll see! Can anyone recommend me some other documentaries?
Hey, are you losing weight?
You know that awkward moment when either you want to ask someone if they’ve lost weight or they want to ask you? Personally, I love this moment! Sure, it’s all about timing but in the end it makes everyone feel so good! One of my close guy friends has lost a significant amount of weight lately. He just broke up with his girlfriend of 5 years & has changed his life around - it’s so impressive. I’ve been trying to find the right time to tell him he’s shrinking right before our eyes but it’s hard to say it in front of everyone because I don’t want to come off as “Oh hey you used to be fat.. but you’re okay now!” … SO eventually I got to telling him how impressed I am & he took it well but some people get super awkward about it.
As for me? I love it! It’s a total confidence booster & it shows me I’m doing the right thing. Lately I’ve been getting more & more compliments about how I’ve been losing weight (20lbs since restarting!) and it’s exciting. A lot of people sugar coat it with “NOT THAT YOU WERE HEAVY BEFORE!!!” but come on, please, we both know I was heavy before - it’s no secret. One of my coworkers even told my best friend (who also works with us) that while he was checking out my butt, he noticed my jeans are super loose & I’m looking good. So exciting! The weird thing though, is that I started this job at the weight I am now. CREEPY. That means all my coworkers (you know, all 180 of them) met me how I am right now & in the year I’ve been there I gained 20lbs. Gross!
All in all, keep the compliments going to those around you that you know are trying to lose weight. Given the brand new year, many people are & nothing is a bigger confidence booster than knowing your hard work of giving up pizza & pasta & cookies & ugh - are paying off :)

I have been following your for a awhile now. You look great! What do you like to most with your boo? aka boyfriend LOL
Hi lady & thanks!
So I’m going to assume you mean’t what do I like to DO most with him? Hmm let’s see! There’s a ton that could be said about this but to be completely honest I like driving with him :) I’ve known him since he was 15 then lost contact for a while, so when we first started hanging out again he didn’t have a license or a car so I always picked him up. When he finally got a car (which we did together when we were still just friends), I still drove a lot of the time. When we finally started dating I remember telling him “Oh good, now you can be the man & drive me around”. Since that day he’s driven us anywhere we have to go (he lives 25 minutes away), he takes me to work, to the store, errands, etc. But that’s not why it’s my favorite thing.. I like driving with him because I love listening to him sing along to the radio, I like watching him yell at other drivers, I like being right next to him, I like resting my head on his shoulder & holding his arm, I like fighting about what song to pick next, I like pretending that I don’t see him taking glances at me but most of all I love that for the past 2+ years, he has always held my hand or my leg in the car. Even when we were broken up, he never let go :)
Hahaha! Hottie Body Hump Club? Love this video :) It’s filled with some of my favorite celebrities. It’s so ridiculous lol & it totally does remind me of a lot of fitness video’s I’ve watched & wondered what were they thinking?!
