February Goals
Health related: Complete week 1, 2, 3, and 4 of C25k.
Get into the 270’s (not too lofty of a goal).
Get more exercise outside, if at all possible (fcking Ohio has winter for ages)
Try more veggies
Learn at least 5 new recipes (I will document this!)
Start shopping primarily at local farmer’s markets/meat markets
Start cutting back on meat for that matter
Devote one week...

I'm starting Couch to 5k tomorrow. God help me!
So am I! We’re in this together! (I would have just replied to your post but it wouldn’t let me.)
Forgive me, I love these things.

My cousin Megan.
Do you sleep with the door open or closed?
CLOSED.
Do you drink tea?
Yup.
Have you ever kissed someone older than you?
Yes.
Do you have plans for tomorrow?
Wake up semi-early, work on my design projects, go to intro to art from 3-4:15, work on my drawing project,...

Four art projects due Monday and Tuesday
So no tumblr for me until they’re done. Well maybe during a break. But very minimal tumblrin’s today. Just me, Elliott Smith, and art. Fuck yeah.
likemebutsmaller replied to your video:Running to Jeff Buckley is so amazing. Shoutout to…
Ohmagah he is my favorite. “Lover, You Should Have Come Over” makes me cry every time. I can’t run to him, I just want to hug my pillow and drink wine!
Try listening to some of the songs on Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. They’re awesome. Some are kinda trippy. His Live at Sine songs are...

uh-oh-janellio asked: I love your new picture. So pretty!
I had such a nice date with Sam today...
We didn’t even intend on it being a date but it turned into one. He was going to buy me a new guitar because my electric doesn’t work with amps anymore and I want an acoustic small enough for me to play, so we went to look at guitars and I couldn’t find the one I wanted, so we’re gonna wait until they get some new ones in stock. I saw the perfect guitar there a month ago...

I finally got my new laptop!
Which means I can now post pretty pictures* like this: *Kinda creepy because Sam started massaging my shoulders in the middle of taking this picture… And I can show you my new running shoes: I just ran in them for the first time last night and holy hell… I can’t believe I even tried to run in my old shoes. These make it sooooooo much easier to run. And now that I have my...

So glad that's over.
Sorry for my melodrama earlier. For the past year or so I’ve been able to successfully handle meltdowns like that, and I can officially say this one is handled too. I feel kind of embarrassed for spilling my guts like that, but I really needed it. You guys have no idea how much your encouragement helped. I don’t wanna spam everyone’s dash with replies but I do want to thank...
I am so. fucking. overwhelmed.
(Disclaimer: I try to stay as positive as possible on here but I just can’t right now. Sorry.)
I think I may have pushed myself into this too fast. I can’t handle this much at once. I’m behind on my schoolwork, I haven’t been to the gym in over a week (two weeks?), I haven’t been eating that well, and I’m an emotional mess. I mean a MESS. I started crying...

AND THIS
ALL DAY
WIW - 1/19/11
Last week’s weigh-in: 289.4 This week’s weigh in: 284.8 (WAT) Loss this week: -4.6 lbs Total Lost: 85.2 lbs I’m ecstatic about this, but so terribly confused. I had the flu last week (which in itself might account for the loss) but I didn’t exercise much at all and I definitely didn’t eat well. I never went past my calorie limit, but I didn’t eat only healthy...
Dollar Friendly Meals: The Hidden Vegetable Pizza →
dollarfriendlymeals:
This pizza speaks to me. It moves me, you could say. See, it tastes like a rich and fattening Alfredo pizza but curiously doesn’t boast the calories or fat. Intrigued? Well, here is the secret:
That’s right. Vegetables. This pizza has managed to incorporate 10 ounces of spinach, 2 cups of…
TOTALLY making this soon.

It's nervous breakdown time everybody!
So I woke up at 8am to finish some homework for my design class (which it turns out I didn’t even have to do.. ugh…) but I didn’t have time to eat before class so I just figured I would get some food at this little food stand in the art building. Everything goes well until 2:00pm and I’m actually feeling pretty okay for still being kinda sick from the flu. Then the hunger...

I got a Kinect and Dance Central for Christmas and it’s awesome! They even have a workout feature that when you turn it on it tracks how many calories you’ve burned the whole time you play:)
Ok I think I’m sold… That’s so awesome!

and I really REALLY want to impulse-buy an Xbox Kinect and Dance Central. If I got it I could totally see myself doing it every day. I love dancing. And it would be an amazing workout. But at the same time, it’s $200… But I set aside some extra money for extra things, so buying it wouldn’t affect my budget. What to do…
Sickly Sickerson :(
I woke up sick all of a sudden. I always fcking get sick when school starts. Now I’m drinking orange juice like a fiend hoping that it’ll make it go away faster. It prolly won’t. I found a health food store around here (yay! finally!) so I can get all the yummy foods I desire that aren’t at my normal grocery store. I’m gonna go tonight and try out some new stuff. In...
elephantfarm asked: Thanks for the link to the 30day shred blog! And a massive well done on the weight loss so far. :) x
No more elevators for me.
Even if it means I have to huff and puff up six flights of stairs to get to a class. Even if it means I have to take a quick break on the third floor. Even if I’m carrying 15 lbs of books. Elevators are useless to me. My legs, however, are not.
WIW - 1/12/11
No loss this week, but no gain either. I don’t mind maintenance weeks, because every now and then I’ll have a 4-6 pound loss and I feel it makes up for all the weeks I’ve ever maintained my weight. I’m going to try and make this coming week one of those weeks, but I won’t be disappointed if it’s not. The point is, I’m going to try harder than I did this...
feelinfit replied to your post: I did a plank for one minute!
i am paying off my car with my financial aid check, haha.
I totally am too. Well, my car’s taxes… and I have to get my brakes fixed… and I have to get a new laptop… and a new camera… and maybe some new clothes. Oh and of course books and whatnot. haha
I did a plank for one minute!
A classic one, even. I think I’m getting to the psychedelic part of sleep deprivation and the minute seemed like it went so fast. I couldn’t even believe it when I looked at my stop watch. I didn’t do too great cardio-wise tonight. I did half a mile on the treadmill and half a mile on the elliptical, which was about 15 minutes. And I ran for 2 minutes straight! I can feel my body...

hey! try either melatonin or passionflower vine extract to help you sleep.

I hope you find relief soon. Maybe try some melatonin to help.
I just picked up some melatonin so I’m prolly gonna sleep way better tonight. Thanks for the suggestions! gut2glam...
My art professor: “Has anyone ever been to the campus rec center or go to a gym?” Me: “I go to a gym.” Professor proceeds to make fun of people who go to gyms instead of exercising outside. … Haters gonna hate.
My interview went well...
I’ll know if I got the job this weekend. I’m so exhausted though. This has been my sleep the past two days: Yesterday - woke up at 6am, stayed at school all day until 9pm, dove into my bed as soon as I got home. Last night - woke up at 12:30am, completely awake, stayed up until 4am (big mistake), barely woke up in time to go to class at 10. So tired. This isn’t good. I’ll...

Reblog if you will NOT give up, no matter what.

I will not give up. I had an awful day today but I won’t quit. I will fight tooth and nail until I have nothing left.
New goal for 2011:
I will perform at an open mic this year. Sooner than later. I’m not putting this off until the end of the year. I want to do this within the next few months. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m gonna get over my horrible stage fright and just do it. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll have someone take a video and post it on here? That’s asking a lot of my...
I had really hoped I'd be past my social anxiety...
Though, I’ve definitely improved. It kind of hit me in the face today. I haven’t been this nervous about just being in public in a long time. It took me a while to even be able to lift my head and look around the room. This has followed me for a very long time. In middle school I couldn’t stand to be seen alone without friends. In high school I spent my lunch period in the...

I always get so anxious when school starts up again. I woke up at 6 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. Now it’s 9am, and though I haven’t fallen back to sleep yet, my hair and makeup and clothes are immaculate. I don’t even have class until 3pm. My last class ends at 9pm. What am I doing to myself… I’m gonna be so tired when I get home tonight. I would kill time...
Guess who officially fits into size 22 skinny...
THIS GIRL. I’m so happy! I haven’t worn a size 22 since I met Sam, and that was 5 years ago! I was 14! Wow… I’ll have access to a computer on Monday when I start classes, so I’m gonna upload pictures of my awesome new size 22 jeans and some of the clothes I have been sewing. It’s going really well, but I still have a lot of sewing to do tonight and tomorrow. You...
