carbivore

i've recently started a low-carb diet. ok, i started on sunday. i thought this would be fairly easy to stick to since my favorite food is cheese! however, it is proving to be more difficult than i realized. i honestly don't see how this diet works. i mean, i'm eating a TON more fat than i normally do, so how in the world can i lose weight? anyway, i'm going to try and stick to it for at least 2 weeks. it's so hard, though. you don't realize how many carbs are in everything! anyway, i'm sick of all my clothes not fitting, so i'm trying an "easier" way of losing weight rather than starving myself (which is impossible - if i hear the world "pizza" then i HAVE to have it).

and another thing - all these blogs i read on here...the girls who have kids lose the baby weight SO fast..it's amazing. i want to know your secret! i know i haven't had a baby, but it seems like it would be harder for someone who just gave birth to lose weight rather than someone who hasn't.

ok...i will stop dwelling....

sorry i don't really have anything interesting to write about...i don't really like writing about my everyday life for some reason. maybe it's too personal? i don't know - haven't figured out my reasoning yet.

i would kill for a bagel right now.

i hate to base my entire day's attitude on my once-every-six-months stop at the evil corporate coffee giant, but seeing as it's only 8:05am, i don't have much else to base it on. for the past few weeks, i've been contemplating purchasing one of the fall must-haves, the pumpkin spice latte. i typically try to steer clear of a) things that are ridiculously overpriced, b) things that contain more than my daily allotment of calories, and c) things that require me to leave earlier for work in the morning. however, today happened to be the day that i threw caution to the wind and induldged my expensive/fattening/time-consuming urge. (side note: this just happened to be the day that i could be late to work because i was picking my boss up at the detailing shop where he was leaving his car for the day) i order a $3.65 tall (small) pumpkin spice latte, and pull up to the window with my 3 $1 bills and some odd change in my hand, only to be asked for $4.05. ok, maybe that is what it was supposed to cost, but i think tax here is only 8% (actually, that kind of makes sense...), but who cares...anyway... i am handed a HUGE christmas cup and told to have a nice day. perfect! i think i'm getting an extra nice treat...a venti (large) for the price of a tall (small)...even though it seemed a little expensive. ok i'm rambling....the point is this latte tastes just like a normal latte. i'm convinced i got the wrong drink. annoying, right? yeah i guess that's what i get for induldging an urge. i should just live my life by the book and follow the rules. but, see, now i don't ever want to go back to starbucks because i don't want to risk them messing up my order, because i only go ever time there's a blue moon (you know the saying..). i wonder if i go back and tell them that they messed up my last order if they will give me a free drink. DOUBT IT. if it was wal-mart they would...they give you your money back for everything.

may 28

...was a LONG time ago. it seems like 7,000 years since i last "blogged." the word "blogged" sounds so funny/weird to me. like really geeky, but there's really no other way to describe it, so there it is.

so, i read like 30 blogs of people i rarely speak to, but i enjoy it so much! i don't know why it is so hard for me to come up with something to write about. i guess writing about everyday stuff isn't interesting to me. maybe i can come up with a few things soon...

workin on my fitness

i went to the gym today....the first time in a WHILE. it was so annoying because everyone there was like "where have you been" "are you in the wrong place" "you know this is the gym, right?" ok, i know i deserve it, but it's still annoying. and i've resorted to wearing big t-shirts to the gym instead of my usual cute sports bra and cute fitted tank tops. what? it's comfortable. but now i feel like i'm growing up and need to dress more conservative. no, i'm just kidding. i do it because i feel fat.

so, my favorite guy on The Bachelorette is jake, the pilot. he is so sweet, and i feel like him and jillian had a really special/mushy date. but honestly, that show is so unrealistic...of course you are going to fall in love with someone when you never have to pay for anything, and all of your dates are extraordinary. so, why do i watch it? it's ridiculous, yet addicting. oh, and my least favorite is david. i can't stand jocks....the cocky kind. i think most of them are insecure anyway. and the other reason i watch the show is because of this blog. truly hysterical.

i really want to wear my hair with a braid in it like lauren conrad...or pretty much everyone in hollywood these days. it looks so simple, but i cannot do it for the life of me. it ends up looking really stupid. i'm just trying to unleash my inner hippie! namaste.

back in the saddle

wow...my last post was back in december. i guess i just haven't felt compelled to write about my life lately. i feel like my life is pretty boring compared to everyone with kids. however, i can't complain. i love my life right now and wouldn't change a thing. this post is going to be really random because that's just how i am.

i was reading annalee's blog just now and for some reason it inspired me to write on my blog again. i have no idea why. maybe i just realized i need a creative outlet to put my thoughts on paper (or on the screen, in this case). i use this site to organize all the blogs i read. it's neat because you go to this one site and it lets you know which blogs were recently updated. currently, i have 63 blogs that i read. actually, it's more like 20 since most of the people never update their blog (like me, so i really can't hate).

if you are anything like me, you probably just scroll through posts looking for pictures. well, i hate to disappoint, but i put all of my pictures on facebook and don't really feel like copying them on here as well. sorry. i guess you will have to be REALLY interested in my life to keep checking back! all 3 of you.

it has been raining here for like 3 weeks straight. it is SO depressing. i never thought the weather affected my mood that much, but i finally see that it really does. not cool. at least we won't be in a drought this year!

OK ENOUGH DEPRESSING STUFF....sorry:

it's summer....yay! i've started working 'summer hours' at work, which means i work four 9-hour days, then only work 4 hours on Friday. it is so hard to be here for 9 hours, but it's worth it to have friday afternoons off. i wonder what i'll do this friday!

ok....go to this site....it's the funniest site ever: http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
