Deliver it!

Hey guys!  I think I was just amazing.  Cause I found a way to link my blogger with my tumblr, Facebook and twitter!

Hee hee I feel so smart! :)

Want to give it a try?  Here's the link!

Today I Feel.....

Fat - cause I'm trying to go on a diet and I'm doing it well (but I still want EVERYTHING NOM)

Lazy - cause I'm not doing anything important and I should be doing homework

Pointless - cause it's one of those days, though vlogging always helps that! I know there's at least 2 people who read and watch my blog and vlog!

Sad - cause I just had very interesting conversations with people who are close to me.

Happy - cause I love my friends! SO MUCH! HUGS FOR EVERYONE!

Awesome - cause I watched the State of the Union address and paid attention for the first time ever.  I understood and I want to learn more.  And I've made it on time to every class so far.

Tired - cause I stayed up late to edit my vlog instead of waking up early to do it....

I am no longer a teen.

Today I am finally graduating kid-hood.  I turn 20 today.  Now, I know that I'll still be a 'kid' or a 'young person' to most people- but I'm finally out of the teen years.  I can't say I'm a teenager anymore- I'm in my twenties.

It makes me feel.... I'm not sure.... sad?  I feel like I should have accomplished more by now.  I should have more job experience, I should have dated more, I should have done more!

On the other hand, my life is just starting!  I'm an adult and I'm in college, I'm starting my first real jobs, I'm in my first relationship life is great!  This year is going to be my year.  My weight loss is going well and my other resolutions are going great.

But now I'm twenty, which means I have to grow up a bit more.  Or at least I should.....

hmmmmmmm, well I'll have to think about that ;)

I just don't feel like it....

Today I went on a great walk with my dad- the sun was just going down and we went around all 3 lakes by our house.  We didn't run but we kept up the pace and everything was awesome.  Then we got home and suddenly we were in a great big huge debate thing about religion.

Then somehow it ended up with my brother involved and we were talking about mutilation of baby genitals.  (aka religious circumcision)  EWWW

Now I'm angry and depressed and I don't want to do anything other than sit in my dark basement drinking hot water and talk with my boyfriend.  Except he's far away right now in another timezone- and I don't want to bother my friends with this.  I'm just so frustrated now.

Here's what I think: if my religion doesn't hurt me, or anyone else (inhuman treatment of animals included) and it doesn't try to stop science from making the world a better place then why do you have to put it down?  If your religion does the same thing then why should I put yours down?

I don't agree with people who say science can't do this or shouldn't be taught in school because of religion. And I don't agree with the religious fanatics who want to (or do) kill people over religion.  But that doesn't make everyone who is religious a bad person.  There are fanatics in every walk of life- and they are not a good thing.  But that doesn't mean everyone who does something is a crazed fanatic.

And please, stop asking me about circumcision.

The worst part about all of this?  Now I'm really depressed and I don't want to do my workout.... >x'(

Getting there...

Alright!  I need to lose 68lbs in around 7 months.  So by my calculations I need to be losing 2 1/2 pounds a week.  If I round that up to 3 I'll be home free!

Starter workout: 10 puhsups, 20 situps, 30 crunches, and 40 jumpingjacks. twice a day.
Light breakfast, and regular-sized meal. I can drink tea and milk as much as I want.  But no pop at all.

New Year's Resolution

It's that time of year again, where everyone decides what they'll change about themselves over the next 365 days.  In previous years, I've never been too realistic with my goals and I've never really tried to reach them.. but this year is going to be different.  I have a system.

Firstly, I have an overarching theme for my year.  This way I have something I can remember to do every day even when I'm currently not working on specifics.

Then I have a few supplements that will help me become a better person and keep me on track.

This year, 2012, my theme is the song "Domino" by Jessie J.  It's happy, upbeat, and gives me a sense of knowing when to ask for help and telling people what you want.  I've always thought I keep things to myself until they boil over, so I want to be happier and talk to people more.

My supplements include the classic "lose weight".  My goal weight is 115, so I have quite the way to go.  But I have rewards for myself if I reach my goal (namely an extra ear piercing when I reach 140 and a belly button ring if I reach my goal).  I'm trying to gain that body where you can where a bikini without looking weird or concentrate on it.  Not to mention it would be nice to hear the models that are my size aren't labeled "plus-sized".

Honestly, that's the worst part of being big- yes there are models of our size but they are automatically in a different category.  I don't have "models" I have "plus-sized" models.  There apparently has to be that qualification (XL).  But I digress,

I also want to blog here more often, I'll probably use this as a update on my weight loss and how that's going.  Inspiration and pictures and whatnot.  Besides blogging here, I'll be vlogging on YouTube under IANOYTYK.  I'm going to do it every day. 365.  Yea baby.

On a more personal note, I also want to write in my diary every night.  I stopped doing that and I shouldn't have, it's a wonderful stress reliever.

Now let's see how long I can keep these going!

Wow- I kinda forgot about you....

My apologies, I got so caught up in vlogging on youtube that I forgot I had this written one.

What's happened while I've been neglecting this?  I finally got a job for one thing- I'm not working as a camp counselor at the local Girl Scout camps.  And, even thought I don't like children particularly I seem to be pretty good at it.  The girls love me- and they're a never ending source of entertainment.  I usually always have quotes from them.  Such as: "This cow is tripping."  "My butterfly only has one eye... he has PROBLEMS!"  "No! It's your body and your grandfather can't tell you to pull out your teeth if you don't want to."  "Can I get new water? Mine isn't wet anymore."


Good times.  Hot times.  The heat index has been in the 100s all week!  (That's the combination of heat and humidity or something like that...)  Thankfully the camps have a few air conditioned buildings that we can put the girls in when it gets too hot.  And a pool and water games if all else fails.

I've actually been at Camp Tapawingo for the past week with no internet connection so now I'm behind on all my vlogs and everything else.  But I finally got a move-in date for college. August 17th.  And you know what that means?  That means I need to figure out a date for a last summer bash before I leave for school! :( Everyone's super busy so I have no idea if I'll even be able to get people to come though... Even my best friend is busy with the band and everything...

But I need to not be depressed.  You know how people get depressed in the winter?  For me it's the summer.  I'm always depressed in the summer because everyone is busy and not able to hang out.  At least during the school year I can blame homework and things... but I digress.

I'm currently in Iowa because of family health issues- I'll let you know what's going on after things settle down a bit.

On another note- we're fostering kittens!  We have 3 of them from my brother's girlfriend's sister who found them abandoned and tried to take them to the animal shelter but they were all full.  So they asked us to take care of them.  We plan on putting and ad in the paper for them.  Which means that as soon as it's in the paper they will all be claimed in a few minutes.

That's really all that's happened to me... not much to report... just tired tired tired.

Until later!
