back!

i have been walking!!
i cannot remember what i walked on thursday... but it was only around 30 minute. i HAD to get back home to watch entertainment tonight. they were having a special on new moon! (more on that later...)

Friday i did was 3.84 miles! my longest yet. slightly.
Monday- i took the day off.
today (tuesday), i only walked a short 30 minutes. i did not want to go... but did.

anyway i thought i would share my walk! i took these pictures while i was walk. it is so pretty. i walk near a lake, and since i walk with my cell phone i snapped these. it is much nicer in person, but you get the idea.

i will write about my twilight love later. i am a bit tired!

I have been walking..

today 3.91 miles!

friday: 2.19 miles

thursday: i think it was 2.55 miles

:) i am pretty happy with myself so far. i can already tell a difference in my legs! my calves are toning up. but they are always the first thing to look great. hahah

woah!

No wonder I am so pooped from walking! I went walking just a few minutes ago. I walked for about an hour and 10 minutes...which equals for me 3.83 miles!!!
Needless to say I am sitting in the sofa watching ET now. hahahah
I only wish walking burned more calories! Oh well...

:)

Neglect...

Sorry. I know I haven't been posting. BUT- I will difinately be posting more on here. I have decided to keep this blog as sort of a fitness log. I need to get control of my life. I have always had issues with weight, so I am taking it on... again.

My senior year of high school I lost 20lbs from January to May (for prom). I know that i can do it. I kept it off for nearly a year. *pats self on back*
Anyway, I am back on!

I have been on hungrygirl.com and have been straving just looking at all the yummy recipes!
Since have some down time while I work, I have been printing out some of the recipes. I will have to make some of them this week and post back on how they turned out.

some of what I have printed off...
finger lickin' good (chicken fingers)
pump it up, again! (pumpkin pie... lately I have been wanting it to be fall... this might cure it!)
mash it! (mashed potatoes with some cauiflower... um...)
roll with it! (taquitos... YUMMMMMM. I am most looking forward to these!)

I am going to Barnes & Noble, maybe today, and buying the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 book.
I know I eat horribly. I just don't really like veggies... or fruits. I try. I really do. So I am HOPING that if I learn how to mix them into meals that I already enjoy... it might help.

On another note...
A JOB. I am currently the part time, temporary/seasonal receptionist for a CPA office. Tax season ends on Wednesday, therefore, so does my job. BUT! I am going to interview for a position at Badcock Home Furnishings. Did I mention it before? I cannot remember... I believe I did. Wait, yeah I did. I ranted about it in my first post. HAHA!! Well, my Aunt Michelle (Love her!) talked to a lady who works there currently, but is out on maternity leave, and told them all about me. Apparently, they want me to come in and talk to them! From the way she told me, it sounds like they want to hire me. It is not my dream design job, but it is local and I would be able to put my hard earned (and not even paid for...) educated to work! I am difinately excited about this next step in my life. I know everything will work out eventually.

Okay, enough for today!

wait a minute...!

Yesterday while I was doing my laundry, more on that later, it occured to me that blogging is nothing new to me. About 4 1/2 years ago (WOW, has it really been THAT long ago?) during my freshman year at college, i jumped onto the craze of Xanga. Stop. Think about it. Wasn't that basically blogging? Everyone stopped using Xanga and jumped on Facebook back when it was first starting out.

Uh. Interesting huh? Anyway.

So jumping to doing laundry... that's what i spent all day doing.
Not that I am complaining in the least bit. I enjoy doing it... well, for the most part anyway. I did my sheets, bedspread, pillowcases, pillow topper. I added some baking soda in with them to brighten up the white. I hate that they get so dingey so fast, but I do love my white sheets. There isn't much more in life that I enjoy more than a bed of fresh clean sheets. aaaahhhhhhh. I just sleep SO much better. It is literally a pillowcase/envelope to me. I slip right in and barely move! (that's NOT what she said... hahahaa)
I also did my little bit of clothes that needed to be washed as well. I don't even really mind doing those as long as I can put them up right away before they wrinkle in the basket.

Enough on that. I think I have bored you enough on doing laundry. So GO! enjoy your weekend... it is Friday afterall! I am headed to Athens this weekend to hang out with some of my girls, shop, & eat too much. What's new? hah

starting off with a vent!

*ROAR*
It is so frustrating!! I applied to apply for a job. Yes, it sounds weird but they try and match up your skills to see if you are even applicable for the job. Okay. I applied to apply on my lunch break.

*pause* i am currently working a temporary job as a receptionist at a CPA/tax office. yeah... it is as exciting as it sounds. but it is easy work.
*play*

I check my e-mail a moment ago and it get that "you are not eligable for this job". It says I need at least 6 months of retail experience to apply for this job. WHAT?!?! I HAVE DESIGNER SKILLS! I WORKED MY BUTT OFF IN SCHOOL TO BE A DESIGNER. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME DO THAT?!
I believe the job is for the local Badcock's Furniture store here in town. I was actually very surprized when my sister told me about the job I became very excited. Not because it is my dream job to work in a furniture store in this small town, but it would be a slightly great step in the right direction of my future career in design. But, oh well!! This economy is starting to put me in a very bad mood altogether.


SO! On a much brighter note, I might be going to California soon! It is just to visit some family friends, and they would be paying for the trip out there and everything. It would be just me and my dad going. I am so hoping we are able to go. Money is sqeaking around at our house right now. My sister's transmisson went out on her car and isn't helping to pay for it. It has put my dad in a pinch and a slightly bad moon lately. Not that I blame him... $2000 right now is in no way easy to come about... especially right now.

YEA! California!! Let's hope it will be my little ray of sunshine to brighter up my life!
