well. oops.

Ok. so I apparently cannot keep up regularly with blogging. I think I will go back to just trying to update every week or every couple of weeks, unless I really have something to say.

However, I will go ahead and finish the "30 day" thing, just because it gave me interesting things to talk about :)

We were on day 21, which was "Favorite Picture of Yourself of All Time, and Why."

That's... a tough one. Give me a minute to look through my pics.

There may be another pic or two that I like quite a lot as well, but this pic right here... I love it. I don't feel like I have ever in my life looked hotter than in this pic. Crooked half-smile, red punk rock spots in my hair, shoulder and chest muscles, tank top... yes. I am hot. haha. I like it when I feel like I look good in pics. I did, for a long time, love the way I looked. A few years ago, I was really extremely happy with how much I weighed and how I looked. I felt like I looked fantastic. I've gained some weight since, that I have been trying very hard to lose. Back on the diet today, after a few weeks of partying it up for people visiting and my birthday and all. Despite the weight, though, this pic... was perfect. I didn't look at all fat. I looked good. I want to feel like I look that way all the time. I miss that feeling. 

It takes a lot to lose weight, and I don't have a ton to lose, just a little, so I can only imagine how it feels for someone who has a lot they are trying to get rid of. It can be a very daunting task, I'm sure. Just take it one step at a time. Celebrate the little victories, get a little bit of exercise every day. It doesn't have to be 2 hours at the gym, just get up and walk up and down your street once. Do something! You CAN do it. Buy a couple of cheap weights and just do curls and presses while you're watching tv. I struggle with the motivation to work out, too, believe me. It's a daily battle, and some days I lose! Don't beat yourself up over it. Just move on to the next day. You really can do it.

Anyway. That's all I have to say I guess. Back to work today. I close tonight, have to be up super early tomorrow for the Memorial Marathon, then back at work at 10am. Ugh. Going to be a long weekend. At least I am the late late shift Monday and Tuesday, then off again Wednesday. So that will be quite lovely.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
