Day 9 and weigh in

So, it's Sunday, which means it's time to weigh in!

I did good this week.

I ate low carb and worked out Mon-Saturday.

Ready?

I lost 2.8 lbs!! :)

I'm very happy about this!

My goal is to lose 2 lbs a week (which is healthy) so I'm very excited about this!

17.2 lbs to go!

I have my mind set on mid-March when I'll reach my goal, so hopefully it doesn't take longer than that!

Now onto Day 9 of the 30 Day Picture Blog.

Day 9 - A picture of someone who has gotten you through the most.

This is such a goofy photo of Tony. He has gotten me through so much in these past 2 years and without him, my life would suck.

Days 7 & 8

Yay! It's Saturday!

Today Tony and I are going to run some errands and then tonight we're going to stay in and watch the Falcons game! Whoo hoo!

Here are days 7 & 8 from the 30 Day Picture Blog!

Day 7 - A picture of your most treasured item

Honestly, I can't think of what my most treasured item is! I'm having a brain fart here!

Day 8 - A picture that makes you laugh

This is my 5 year old cousin (he was 4 at the time) just acting goofy in July of '09. It's more cute than it is funny, but whenver I see it I laugh. :)

Days 5 & 6..and weight loss.

Soo yesterday I forgot to do Day 4 of the 30 Day Picture Blog.

Whoops!

I was a little too busy cuddling up with Tony on the couch because he had yet another day off from work because of the snow! And I had no school so we decided to take advantage of it!

Day 4 - A picture of your night.

Well, I didn't take a picture of my night last night, so I'm gonna skip this one.

Day 5 - A picture of your favorite memory.

I don't have one favorite memory, but this is one of 'em! In this picture I'm headed to Myrtle Beach, SC with Tony in August of '09! :) We had such a fun time there!

Day 6 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

Jessica Alba! But really, I'd like to trade places with any celebrity for a day!

So now onto the other part of my title - weight loss.

I started back on the weight loss train on Monday. THIS time it's for good. Y'all are probably like yeah riiight, but seriously. 

This time, I actually have bathing suit season coming up and I cannot look like the way I do.

I want to lose 20 lbs and then that's IT! I hope. Ha!

So far this week I have done great. I've been eating low carb, lots of protein and veggies.

I have been doing circuit training and running on the treadmill.

I want to lose at least 2 lbs a week.

I know it may be a little hard, but if I can average 2 lbs a week then that will be good.

Hopefully I'll be at my goal by mid-March.

I'm going to weigh in every Sunday and I'll let y'all know how it goes!!

Wish me luck!!!

I'll need it! ;)

30 Day Picture Blog - Days 2 and 3

Oopsies!

I have been a little busy for the past two days enjoying doing nothing with Tony and just relaxing around his apartment because we have had 2 snow days!

School was supposed to start back up yesterday, but it has been closed because of the 5+ inches of snow and it won't be opened up until Thursday! :)

I only have Tuesday and Wednesday classes this semester, so since the college is closed today and tomorrow, I don't have any classes this week!

Here's to 1 extra week of winter break!

Tony had work off yesterday and today, so that was nice, but tomorrow he will probably have to go back. If he does have to go back, it will be later on in the morning.

We've had fun throwing snowballs at each other, too. :)

This is in Tony's neighborhood. Isn't it gorg?

So now onto Day 2 and 3 of the 30 Day Picture Blog! :)

Here are the rules if you wanna play!

Day 2 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile.

This is me and one of my best friends, Mary. We took a class together back when I started college in Aug of '08 and we've been close ever since. She truly is a great friend. She has the biggest heart and she is so sweet. I know that girls can be so bitchy and dramatic, but not Mary. She is so drama free and down to earth and I'm so lucky to have her in my life.



Day 3 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show

Easy. One Tree Hill is hands down my favorite show. They start back up on the 25th and I CANNOT wait! It's on my calendar. :)

Today is going to be Day 1 - A picture of yourself with 15 facts.

1. I floss my teeth everyday. I have to, or else I feel so dirty and nasty with all that food between my teeth.

2. I could eat rice everyday of my life if I could. But I don't think my hips would like that too much. Also, I think that's why I love sushi so much. It has rice in it!

3. Country music is my favorite type of music. Hands down. It's basically all I listen to, with a little rap thrown in here and there. Who woulda thunk it?

4. I love football and I actually know a lot about it and I know what is happening during games. GO DAWGS! :) And Falcons!

5. I LOVE breakfast foods but I never get to really eat the good ones since they are so bad for you. Pancakes, sausage, french toast. Yuum!

6. I've lived with my parents for (22 years in May) and I'm finally moving out in August because I'm transferring to a 4 year university (I'm at a 2 year right now). I'm SO excited beyond words, but I do know once it comes I will be a little sad. I'm moving in with one of my best friends, Mary, and 2 other girls. I'm so excited for this because I know it's going to be one of the best times in my life. :)

7. I start my weight loss journey tomorrow, January 10, to lose 15-20 lbs. This time, I'm fo real.

8. I cannot wait to be a momma. Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to be one and it really is what I've always wanted to be when "I grow up".

9. I'm in school to become a nurse - an RN. I want to help people and I want to make a difference in people's lives. I want to do Labor and Delivery nursing.

10. I love clothes. A lot. It sucks though, because I'm broke and I cannot fulfill this want like I would want to!

11. I want to be a stay-at-home momma.

12. I think it's SO important that your significant other is also your best friend. Tony is my best friend and I think that it really helps our relationship.

13. Fall is my favorite season. Something about the crispness in the air and that the holidays are around the corner. :)

14. I could drink Starbucks everyday if I could.

15. I'm a really goofy person. I get it from my brother. He is really goofy and it rubbed off on me.

Happy 2011!

Sorry I've been SO MIA for a few weeks!

I'm just trying to enjoy my Christmas break before I have to go back to school!

Christmas was amazing, spent with my family.

I'm not going to do a whole re-cap of 2010, but let's just say it was a great year!

And now it's 2011.

I can't believe it!

SO much is going to be happening this year.

I already know it's going to be a busy (and amazing) year!

This month ( in like a week) I start my journey to lose more weight! And yes, this time I'm actually going to stick with it. I want to lose about 15 lbs.

February is Tony and my 2 year anniversary! I can't believe it!! :) Also in Feb., is Tony's ADORABLE niece's 2nd birthday that we will hopefully be attending if we can make it out to Myrtle Beach!

There is nothing too exciting planned for March.. but in April my step sister turns 18!

I swear she is still 10 to me.

In May, i turn 22. Really?! And the Spring Semester is OVA!

Also in May, my brother, dad, and I travel to Kansas City to attend my step-sisters high school graduation!!

In June my dad turns 53!

If you didn't already know, each summer my family has a "summer trip" and so this year we will either be going to Florida or a CRUISE! So that will probably be in July most likely!

Can't WAIT!

Then, August will be a HUGE month!

I will be moving out of mom's house, and to Kennesaw, GA which is 45 min away! I will be attending Kennesaw State University starting in August and couldn't be more excited.

I will  be living in an apartment on campus with one of my best friends, Mary, and maybe a couple other girls and I'm seriously STOKED.

Also in August, my step-mom and step-bro will be moving down here!!!!

This is EXCITING y'all!

They have lived in Kansas City while my dad has lived down here (because they were waiting for my step-sis to graduate high school to move down to be with my dad).

How exciting is this? Very!

In September my brother turns 24! (weird)

In November my mom turns 51 and it's THANKSGIVING month!

Also in November I will have known Tony for 3 years! Wow!

December is CHRISTMAS and this means family time. :)

Well, I hope y'all have a great New Years Day!

I'm going to be watching bowl games with Tony all day! :)

Oooops! & Fill in the Blank

Oh my goodness!

It's almost been a month since I've written!

My b! I've been SWAMPED with finals and projects and papers in the last month!

I took my last final yesterday and am proud to say I'm DONE for the semester!

A whole month off and I'm so excited to not have to worry about studying for a whole month. :)

I'm very proud of my grades and I'm looking forward to just relaxing for a month.

Thanksgiving was wonderful.

I spent it in Kansas with my wonderful family and it was great.

I can't believe Christmas is in 2 weeks! But I'm SO excited.

I'll be going back to Kansas on the 22nd until the 30th!

I'm STOKED! The only downside to this is that I won't be able to spend Christmas with Tony. :(

Anywho...

I've been seeing this survey around blogworld and I decided to fill it out!

Fill in the Blank

1. I wish.. that everyone in my family lived like an hour away from each other. My stepmom and stepbrother are moving down here next summer, but I wish my grandparents and cousins and aunts/uncles could too. :(

2. Yesterday I... went to take my Statistics final which was my last final of the semester! Then I came home and lounged around and watched TV and then went to Tony's and we watched our shows. :)

3. Today I will.. do a little grocery shopping and veg out! Tonight Tony and I are going to have dinner and relax!

4. Tomorrow I will.. go eat sushi with my girl, Mary! Then relax most of the day, and have dinner with Tony tomorrow night. :)

5. Maybe.. I will get to have dinner with an old friend next week :)

6. Someday.. I will be a Labor and Delivery nurse, be happily married, and then be a stay-at-home mom with a few munchkins running around. :)

7. I love ... my family, my boyfriend, my friends, the holidays, Starbucks, coats and boots, sweets, snow, fireplaces, kids.
