Top 10 Horror Movies


So I posted this video stating the Top 10 Horror Movies you should watch this October. I personally love horror movies and Halloween has always been my favorite time of year. Not only because it's in Fall, which happens to be my favorite season, but because of all the simple things, like carving pumpkins, dressing up, going trick or treating (even if you're too old for it), and eating candy.

In addition to these 10 horror movies, here's a list of other horror movies I love:
-The Orphan
-House of Wax
-Fear Island
-Vile
-Cabin Fever

I know it's been a while since I've posted but I've been working on a few blog posts that I'm excited for you to see so be looking for them. See you guys soon :)

Weight Loss Journey #3

So it's been a few weeks since I've updated this portion of my blog. I started volleyball this week and I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be. I have been starting to workout regularly now though and I like to kind of change up my routine. I get bored easily so I find it easier to motivate myself this way. 

I'm starting to kind of work out some sort of schedule so here's what it is now.
Monday: arms and abs
Tuesday: burlesque workout DVD
Wednesday: legs and butt 
Thursday: Jillian michaels workout DVD  
Friday: pyramid workout 
Saturday: gym (treadmill and weights)
Sunday: light abs
I purchased this burlesque workout DVD at a thrift store for only $1.50 and it's actually been a lot of fun to use. It's some fun little dancing and a great way to really get your heartrate going and to lose some calories. I wouldn't recommend it as a daily workout routine though because it doesn't really help with the fast track to weight loss and abs. I use it as more of a fun day in my workout routine. 

I've also started a shake diet. Today is Day 1 and I'm doing the cleanse. Which means, no actual food for me today. I'm really nervous about getting too hungry but I feel as though I'll survive. I'm drinking 4 oz. of the cleanse drink for breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon, and also dinner but today I might only go til mid afternoon because my mom is cooking this big healthy dinner tonight and I don't want to miss out.    Tomorrow though, I will start the shake portion of the diet. It's a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and then an 800 calorie meal for dinner. I WILL SURVIVE. I'm hoping this brings my 190 to a 180 by September 3rd which is when SENIOR PICTURES ARE HERE. AHHHH. 

The past two years have been moving past so quickly and I can't believe I'm a senior in high school. Next year at this exact time I will be starting college. This blows my mind.

But, back to the diet, I will be doing this everyday for the next three weeks and hopefully will be at my weight loss goal of 175.  I will still be doing workouts, especially since volleyball started, and will be working mostly towards a flatter stomach and toned arms. 

Til next time, 
Kennedy

Weekly Update 8/3/14

So I was reading through some of my old posts on here and I noticed that my first one talked about my depression two years ago and how I was feeling the same when I made that post.

Looking back on it, I can't believe that I was ever like that. I just can't believe I thought there was no hope.

Now when I look at myself now, not much has changed in my life. I still have a very limited amount of friends and I don't fit in here at my school. Everything I do, I feel left out of, but I guess the only different thing is is that I learned to love with it. 

Obviously, I still get upset and I still get angry. I'm human. But, I've found myself to be a much more happier person now. Even when my best friend stopped talking to me, when I got left out of everything, I found myself not caring. I have 11 months left here and then I'm gone. So what's even the point of worrying? 

People always ask me where I'm going to college and what I want to do with my life and my answer is always "I don't know, I'm just getting out of here." 
-----
On a happier note,  I might be going to a One Direction/ 5 Seconds of Summer concert on the 30th in Chicago. It's not official yet but I really hope the plans go through. I had to miss Warped Tour this year so this would definitely make up for it.

I also had a great time yesterday. I picked up 27 extra hours at Subway and yesterday was the only day I had off so I went to the lake with a few friends and Joseph. We went tubing and we actually did end up breaking the boat but we won't talk about that too much. It was altogether a great day and I ended up sleeping like a baby last night due to being so exhausted.

Also, I just filmed a July Favorites video and am in the process of uploading it now! So check it out :) 

Until next time,
Kennedy

Currently reading: Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman

Currently watching: Project Runway! A new season just started and I'm already obsessed with it. I love it so much.

Song of the week: Amnesia- 5 Seconds of Summer. In the first two weeks of owning the song, I listened to it 94 times.

Weight Loss Journey #2


Well hello there guys! So I had my weigh in this week to find out I've lost 5 pounds! WOOO! Now, I know, that's not much, but it's been a while since I've been down to 190 and I'm happy about it. Next weeks goal is 185. *fingers crossed*.  It's been getting easier as the weeks have flown by. I now get full quicker and I also have cut out most of the pop in my life and I don't eat junk 24/7. I've also been trying to go to the gym at least every other day and if I don't go to the gym I try and get a quick ab workout in or something.
Volleyball is exactly THREE weeks away and I'm hoping to be at least 180 by then. I also want to be able to run three miles without getting tired so that I'm at least a bit in shape. 

Goal for next week: 185 pounds, run 1 mile in 8 minutes without stopping, 10 pushups without dying.
