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. 

Weekly Update 7-25-14

So in the last week I took a trip to Minneapolis, MN in the US to go shop at the Mall of America. Minneapolis is about an 8 hour drive from where I live but the trip was well worth it. 

I bought so many clothes and items that my poor mother is in debt. But, one purchase I did make with my own money was a $160 Crosley Turntable (record player) in a floral print! It was well worth my money. I have been playing my old Ralph Harris record on in nonstop and am already planning on purchasing AM (Arctic Monkeys), Ultraviolence (Lana Del Rey) and a few Beatles records in the near future. I also purchased a $60 matching record holder for all of these soon-to-be mine records. 

I've been trying to sit down and write a song, but writer's block has gotten me good this time. I have no clue what I want to write. I don't have a melody in mind. The struggles. 

I also just filmed a haul video in which I showcase all of my purchases at the Mall of America and hoping I get it all edited and ready by Sunday. I have decided I wanted to start up my YouTube videos again and with much luck, my mom will not make me take them down again.

Currently Reading: I am currently reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth, the third book in the Divergent series. So far, I do think that the first book (Divergent) is the best but  the third book is getting pretty good. I personally thought that the second book (Insurgant) was awful but that's just my opinion.

Currently Watching: Bates Motel. I just started last week and I only have three episodes until I finish season 2 and am all caught up. It's so amazing and mindblowing that it's probably one of my new favorites. Definite must watch.

Song of the Week: Disasterology by Pierce the Veil. This has been one of my favorite songs for a while and I just love Pierce the Veil in general. 

Product of the week: I just recently purchased Redken Texturizing Sea Spray in hopes of making the crappy, frizzy, semi-curls in my hair turn into beautiful beach waves...and it has yet to fail me.

Weight Loss Journey #1

Ahh yes, my first post about my journey towards my weight loss goal. Now I'll admit, it's been a rocky start. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to actually get motivated and to cut out all of the bad foods in my life. I hate to say it but I've already failed multiple times in the last month while I've been attempting to meet my goal.

Now, if you've read my last blog post, you'll know that my goal is 170 by September 1st, 160 as an all-time goal. I am currently 195 pounds. The same as when I started, which means.... DUH DUH DUH...I've gotten NO WHERE.

Today was the first day I've been to the gym in a while. I walked there with my mom, did some weights, and then did the elliptical for about 20 minutes. The amount of sweat I conjured up could've fed an entire community, I swear.

My mom and I are doing Weight Watchers. She's also losing weight with me but she is a little more motivated then I have been and has already lost 6 pounds, causing me to fall WAY behind.

I have, surprisingly, been eating way healthier in the past week. I don't eat junk food and I'm starting to limit myself to how much I can eat a day. I've also consumed more fruit in the past two weeks then I have throughout my entire existence. It's quite difficult, I've found, but I'm trying.

What I'm hoping this blog series does is inspire me to become more motivated in reaching my goal so that I can share my achievements with the small amount of people who probably read this. I don't want to post failure so I'm going to work hard so I can post success. I have a weigh-in in 3 days but I won't be home until 6 days so I'll hopefully have reached my weekly goal of 190 by then.

XO,

Nomenclature- A Poem

As a child

I wanted to name the world

I named the blades of grass

I named my drinking glass

I named the rain and snow

And the area where the trees grow

The clouds and the clothes

And sometimes the roads

The lady bugs, the cars

I even renamed Mars

But now my imagination

It has run completely dry

The only thing I do now

Is wish that time would just fly by
