Cool Stuff.

I lost 5.4 pounds my first week of WW! I think I'm in shock, I was just really worried about gaining. Hopefully I can keep up the good work.

Also, I'm watching UNC play in the Big Sky Tournament. They just said Greeley, Colorado on ESPN.

What an exciting day!

So Tired.

I am exhausted.

Last night I met up with Kevin so we could try out the Tea House. I have to say, an entire wall full of different kinds of tea is intimidating. It took me about twenty minutes to finally pick one out. But it was delicious. I've decided I'm going to take my mom there soon.

After the tea, Kevin and I went to Old Chicago to hang out while waiting for Jenna to get off work. I drank water! I'm very proud of myself for that. Jenna, Cassie, Cara, and Ben met up with us later and I had a Tom Collins (which I had allowed myself points for.)

I was planning on going home after that one drink, but Jenna's co-worker was celebrating his birthday so I went bar-hopping with everyone. I only had one more drink, which was good. However, I had to use extra points for that. I know the weekly points allowance is ok to use, but I still feel like I'm cheating when I use them.

Anyway, I didn't end up getting home until after 2:00 a.m. And I had to get up at 7:30 for work today. And do multiple haircuts. Which is why I am...SO TIRED.

I took a nap when I got home. And I am definitely not going out tonight. But last night was worth it. I got to hang out with good friends, see old friends, and make new friends.

I hope you're all having a good weekend!

A New Beginning.

I have packed on quite a few pounds since I moved back in with my parents. I'm blaming it on eating real meals on a regular basis rather than surviving on the broke student diet of coffee and cigarettes.

So last night I joined Weight Watchers with my mom. I really liked the meeting, and I know that the program works since I've witnessed my mom being a leader for the past ten years.

I feel like I'm getting off to a bit of a shaky start. I think it was the Cup-O-Noodles that I threw in my lunchbag as I was rushing out the door this morning. But I'm going to work on planning better (and getting up a little earlier to pack a good lunch).

And somewhere down the road, when I hit my ultimate goal, I am going to reward myself with the tattoo that I've been wanting for years!

Wish me luck! And will-power!

Detach.

I have a problem with getting attached to people too easily.

I'm going to fix that.

Yupp.

Learning.

I've learned that the day will go so much smoother if you use constructive criticism as a tool to improve rather than letting it make you feel insecure.

Also, I really need to put my foot down with a certain person. I can already tell I'm going to end up in a very poor situation if I don't put an end to things now. Unfortunately, things are a lot easier said than done.

Here's some good stuff to wrap this up with.

Conor.

I just purchased my ticket for the final Bright Eyes tour! I am beyond excited right now!

Conor Oberst, I cannot believe I finally get to see you in concert =]

Brrrr!

Yesterday was my first day at the new job. It was so much fun.

Today is...cold. I think it's -9 right about now. That is not ok.

Stay warm, friends!
