#39 Weekend WrapUp

I am not going to bore readers with details of my weekend. I didn't do much except babysit and go to my little cousin's soccer game. I am also not trying to have a "pitty party." I just had a lot of time to think over my life. I came to the realization that I will be out of high school for 10 years in May of 2013. (That is just about 1 year away) It is crazy to think how time really flies; it seems like yesterday I was getting ready to go off to college and embark on my own life. Hotty Toddy!!!! I remember thinking that I just wanted to "go away" to school. 

In the 10 years that I have been out of school what did I accomplish?

1) I went to college on my own with the support of my family which forced me to get out there and meet

    and befriend some of the most amazing people I have come in contact with.

2) Live on my own at the age of 18 (with help from my lovely parents)

3) Become my own person living outside the shadow of my younger sister. She is one of my best        friends in entire world and love her dearly. She is one of the most beautiful and talented people I know. 

4) I have traveled the world to places like South Africa, Brazil, Japan, India, China, and Vietnam. The list goes on. I was able to do that through Semester at Sea. (Something I have dreamed of doing every since I could remember) Who says they did that?

5) Work for the mouse!!!! (Walt Disney World)

6) I have been able to cross somethings off my bucket list.....

That is just to name a few. 

Now that I have said the previous. I never thought my life would be like it is now.

I don't have a "big girl job" or a significant other; however, for the most part I am happy and enjoy life, but at times my life is very lonely. I do spend a lot of time by myself reading or doing something else. I am at the age where most of my friends are in fact married; some have children while others enjoy their married lives. I know and believe that one day it will be my turn and all those people will be there for me like I was for them. I also know that everything happens for reason, but it is hard sometimes to go through life alone. 

I am not sure how to end this one so I am just going to leave it at so long.....

#39 Losing Motivation

So I haven't had a chance to write a blog in a while, sorry about that. Since my cousin's wedding , I have sort of not really been on my "diet" or like we say in Weight Watchers, "My life-style change." Well anyway...

My entire summer has been some sort of plateau. So I have sort of lost a little be of motiviation. HELP I have been playing with the same 2 pounds. I have been maintaining a bit, which is something I don't want to be doing right now. This past weeks wasn't great. I gained about a pound and a half, which royally sucks, but I know it is all my fault.

With the gain, I am at a total weightloss of 31 pounds. My goal is to get as close to 35 pounds lost as possible by Thanksgiving. (which is only about 2 weeks)

I really need to get my butt in gear. I need to start tracking and get back to my zumba. I also need to start cooking for myself, but it is really hard for me to watch others, who aren't trying to shed a few pounds, eat whatever they want.

Another this is, I need to stop drinking so many diet cokes. Believe me, I have heard over and over how bad they are. I can't help but love the taste. I am thinking that maybe I could cut back during the week and only drink one a week and when I go to the movies. (which is my favorite thing).

For all my readers, I need some advice on how I can get my motivation back......
