Party on Wayne, Party on Garth!

So as the end of the semester inches closer and closer, my insanity or aggro is getting easier to trigger. I've been fortunate enough to have some extra relaxers around lately (not drugs, but people) that are keeping me from my imminent demise into crazy cat ladydom. That train has been temporarily derailed, but whether its for a day or for a lifetime, only time will tell! These last few weeks have been nothing short of busy busy busy. Today I was fortunate enough to have my last class of the day cancelled. Got some lunch, about to do my hair, and got to watch some TV! That never happens on tuesdays and thursdays... ANYWAYS, today I got some shiz done and when I get home from work I fully intend on putting all my laundry away! WHAAAAT?!?! I usually live out of my laundry basket, but this time... I wanna have non wrinkled clothes. for once.

tomorrow is trivia. BRING IT ON.

So last week I made it to the gym a whopping 0 times.  Yeah, thats how topsy turvy my schedule was. I skipped yesterday cause i needed a recovery time from my body hating me. I'm assuming its just from allergies. I've lived in the central texas area long enough that allergies are probably going to start effecting me. Tomorrow is a Go to the gym no matter what day, so perhaps i'm going to jog a mile straight. My biggest problem is that I get so BORED. I have ADD while running i swear...

Forgive the lack of capital letters. i really hate the keyboard I'm working on. so while I am pressing the shift key, it doesnt always work.

I can't wait to get rid of this laptop... Macbook I will have you yet!

Cheesy and insecure

NO MORE! Well... I will never, EVER stop being cheesy. That is something I cannot help as it is embedded into my genes. Seriously. Have a chat with my family and you will barely scratch the surface on how far THAT rabbit hole goes (Cray cray). Anywho, I am feeling less cheesy now that I seem to have acquired a companion in the adventures to come in my life. Personally I am working on the sharing details phase. Its been a looooong time since I've had to share anything with a guy. With girls its just so much easier cause girls just kinda talk a lot.

Enough about that though...

So as I was basically running up the stairs at Alkek, you bobcats know what I'm talkin about) I didn't have any problems, or huffing or puffing, or whining or fatigue at all. Its the little things in life that satisfy me... But every semester my huffing is reduced quicker and quicker through the semester. I actually started this semester with minimal huffing. That was a little personal victory for myself. And yet even now, towards the end of the semester, I see all these "fit" people struggling up the stairs and I just look at them and laugh as I prance by with my heavy bag and thunder thighs. Obviously being skinny isn't all its cracked up to be. I only want to be healthy. I'm actually more comfortable with myself than I've ever been. But don't think I'm not still insecure about it. I think the worst part is when I'm at work and my RPh sits ALLLLLLL the way back to where there is only a 2 inch gap between his chair and the shelf so I can't pass, then he scoots in and apologizes many times... I'm just like "uh, you don't have to be in the way if you sit over there..."  I've been slowly working on planting the seed that the seat for the window is better for him. I'm hoping that I can eventually trick him into scooting to the next cpu...

Missed going to the gym yesterday as I was out too late on Sunday night. I didn't get home til 3AM and I just said FTS. NO thanks. So I got out of bed at 10 instead. Tomorrow I am supposed to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to go swimming... I guess that means its an ambien night. Feel free to not call or text me tonight as I will be off my rocker by 10pm. No need to see my mental decline as my brain shuts down for sleep. Lets face it, we've all seen my personal TFLN. Those are pretty hilarious.

check yo self b4 u wreck yo self.

So, I'm kind of notorious. My food of choice has always been hamburgers. Even in the womb! My mother told me that when she was preggers with me she ate a crap ton of hamburgers. I still love them. I had one yesterday. It was pretty damn good. Not the best, but damn delicious.

So yesterday was kind of an amazing day. I had an amazing date at a strawberry field and showed someone a slight depth of how far the rabbit hole goes as far as me and crazy and strawberries. Some of you know that I've slapped my roomie for going after some of my berries... Uncontrollable impulse urges when it comes to those sweet sweet delicious red plump berries. So we are talking the whole time, getting to know you stuff, just good company and conversation the whole time. We went to Sweet Berry Farms which is probably one of the best places ever.  mainly because I'm crazy about strawberries and I don't ever remember a time when I've been able to go fruit picking EVER. So this was a pretty exciting time for me. We filled our box of berries to the brim, and there were signs everywhere that says NO EATING THE BERRIES. This was probably the most irritating part of the whole trip. It was really rough. But you all know me about following rules. TO THE LETTER! Except in the occasion that I set my own rules and break them all the time. But I don't break OTHER peoples rules! hah!

We picked our berries, we had some ice cream and the best strawberry lemonade I've ever had. Granted that place caters to mainly families with children, but who can resist the sweet smell of strawberries wafting through the air on a gorgeous spring day. I felt like a child while I was there. It was a little bit magical. Oh and the guy was great company too ;)

So on the way home we get into a discussion that eventually leads to something that sounds like "u wanna be mah girl?" but way more civilized and not in those exact words at all. So all in all, I gained quite a lot yesterday. A crap ton of berries, a boyfriend, and some new friends too.

I also enjoyed how nobody believed it because I announced it on April Fools. Yes, it really happened. For Realsies.

ANYWAYS back to the important stuff and the whole reason I started this damned blog.

So I weighed in this morning and I'm basically exactly where I started a little over a year ago. HOWEVER. Weight is just a number. Overall I'm healthier and my waistline is smaller (not by much). But I'm constantly headed in the right direction. Yes I like hamburgers, okay yes I really LOVE them... But still, my goals are still alive and kicking and I'm making progress every day.

I finally checked my lab work from the last time I donated a whole pack of blood and my numbers look AWESOME. It really is amazing to SEE the progress your body is making and have this kind of positive reinforcement. Seeing the impact you are making on yourself on a cellular level sans microscope is pretty awesome. So do yourself and everybody else a favor, donate blood and work out and donate more blood and track your progress and keep your HDL and LDL in the proper ranges and keep that LDL on the DL.

The proof is out there...
