Yesterday, I spent most of the day doing homework. That’s right you heard me. I cleaned the house (I swear there is a gremlin living here that messes it up as I clean it. Oh wait its my dog.) and did homework. Last week I had to do a short film, and about a moment/event in my life that changed everything for me. I wanted it to be dramatic but I sound terrible in voice over. I can sing my heart out, don’t ask me to speak. So instead I help up note cards covering my mouth that told the story and I went through the note cards one by one until there was a smiling me at the end and it was done in black and white. I got 100% on it and the instructor said that it was incredible. *Happy Karyn*.
I also calmed down a lot after crying on the phone to my mother and worse case scenario they tell me that unless I do A… B…and C that I will be red lighted. I will do their ABC and be done with it. I got around today and I a card from Arwen, and from Allyson today from Lavish. <3 The day before that I got a card from Jenn, Nicole and a few others. I’m making out like a bandit with Christmas cards!
I also did a 40 min work out on the treadmill. I took my nook down and just read while I walked. I am a little stiff from upping the pace but other than that I’m pretty good. Then I went about doing more homework. Playing Alice:The Maddness Returns, and I’m stuck at the Mad Hatter’s Domain part. rrrrr.
Then I rewatched Glee Hold onto 16 because I’m a sap for the Jackson 5 tribute. All in all its been a productive day. I even tried the hair oil I got in my birch box and I must say that it did make my hair look really good and super hydrated with out becoming oily. #WIN! I’m also going to start reading more books and so far I’ve got The Virgin Suicides, The Hunger Games, The Shining, My Sister’s Keeper, A clock work Orange, Sookie Stack house series etc. Any suggestions? Comment below and tell me! (Must be epub.)

This week I’ve had two small victories during this weight loss journey of mine. The first, is that I worked out 5 days in a row, and today I managed to work out for a total of 55 minutes doing Just Dance 2 and Summer Party. My other small victory is because I have to do weekly weigh ins I’ve decided to make Saturday night mine. I’ve lost *drum roll please* 2.3 lbs. I know that this is a rather small victory, but its a victory none the less. I am so excited. In six months I have to loose at least 37 lbs. That’s a 1 lb a week and I’ve already lost a few!

I’ve also learned the value of stretching, muscle cream, and massage settings on the shower! LOL. Ugh tomorrow I have to finish cleaning the bath room, and its the one room that I can’t stand to clean, because its always so much work. And on top of all of that, I need to some how change my shower curtain. The kittens decided they didn’t like the shower curtain, or it had offended them at the very least, and shredded the entire bottom half. I have a spare thankfully, and from now on I am going to make sure its not dangling for the kittens to reach. Imagine my surprise this morning when I got up to shower.

I have some friends that are letting me shoot their engagement pictures and their wedding pictures, I need the practice and they needed a photographer.

Well today started off with me having no plans, and no food. Both of these sucked majorly. I have chicken, but nothing to cook it with, like BBQ or dressings. Herbs yes but you get tired of herb chicken ALL the time. So I called Sami and I asked her to come down and watch movies and maybe order Chinese. She instead suggested that I go up to Dad’s and play Wii with her and eat pizza, chicken wings and salad. I said sure and was really leering about going up there to visit just to eat and play Wii. Sami and I played Wii sports then played Just Dance and Just Dance 2 for two and a half hours. I ate, then came home when Sami got driven to work, and came home, was home long enough to sit and watch and episode of a TV show online and talk to my best friend and my niece to walk through the front door curl up in my arms and start to bawl.  So I got off the phone and started to talk to her and got her calmed down and we went walking around town and ended up at an old friends that I went to high school with to hang out.  So then we walked to her house, then  sat at her house for awhile and then went home. I have literally been on my feet all day its nuts. I am so amazed that I am not dead right now.  I feel amazing but at the same time its like… I am so proud of myself.
