Happy New Year... :)



I usually try to write these new years posts on the last day of the year prior to the new year, but like a lot of 2012 I was lazy and let it drift on. I let that continue into the new year, but that stops now.

In the posts of the new year I tend to review the past year and than talk about what I want for the new one that is coming. I think this year I'm gonna just let focus on this year and let 2012 rest in peace.

My 2013 Resolutions or goals as I call them:


















The sunscreen one I have been doing here and there since new years, not really constant with it like I should but I'm gonna start trying now for sure. 
 
I have been growning my hair out since I cut all off back in April and have not dyed it or cut it since, it will be 9 months come the 19th that I have been growing it out. I'm trying to make it till April again (probably more likely my birthday which is in the first week of May) to do anything to it.  Though I have been off and on thinking about what to do to it dye wise and cut wise once I do decided to do something to it.
 
As you can see underneath in the started quotes is the "kate beckinsale box" well there is this box (picture below on the left) that I have done before and liked it (couple times) and thought of doing since I chopped it off and thought I should have done instead of going the bleach blonde, that I tried to do which made me want to cut my hair off even more than before (since it was fried). Though whats done is done but I have thought of sticking to that color for many months now, and if I do decide to dye it will be that color in that box. I call it the kate beckinsale box because I think the model on the box looks like the actress.
 









"The picture to the right is a color that caught my eye that
I'm liking, but I'm gonna try to stick with one color only if I do dye"
 
 
 
 
So as for the eating healthy goal I have on there how I have been doing since new years? Well the goal says no more soda/rockstars(energy drinks)/ or fast food... and limiting the junk.
 
 The first I was doing prety well, but decided to have pizza for dinner, wouldnt have been as bad but I ate my share between my mom and I (four slices). From than on howerver, that was were I got into trouble.
 
On the way home from work on the 2nd I stopped at taco bell got not only fast food but a soda to drink as well, and than the next day after work I stopped off at a different taco bell and ordered the same thing (well two of the same thing) and the soda. Both times eating as I drove home and threw the trash away (aka the evidence) in the trash can near the mailbox so I wouldnt hear anything from my mom about it. Than that night (the 3rd) we went out to dinner and while I orderd a veggie burger w/ fruit I got a cherry pepsi (with two refills and a take home cup).
 
The next day, yesterday I did pretty well and I managed to incorprate my next goal to get back into the gym, and I made it zumba class. I think what made it really sink in and made me go, was when we went out on errands on Thursday night I decided to replace our scale that for awhile now has been giving weird ranges in numbers. I have this habit of stepping on the scale three times when I check my weight just to get an average. Well each time it ranged in different weights from 5-10lbs different each time. So after replacing that one and getting this new one I stepped on it Friday morning and didnt like what I saw.
 
It said 339 lbs. Meaning not only did I gain back the 62 lbs I lost from my lighest weight back when I was really losing weight steadly I had also added on another 24 lbs. Making it a grand total of a good 86 lbs in the last year or so back on my body. That's pretty much what Stanley (my Rottie/Lab) weighs on average . (85-90lbs). I felt it I saw it, but I did nothing. That stops now. I'm gonna work back to going to the gym as much as possible (up to 5x a week) as my goals state and eat as healthy and well as I can.
 
My last but not least part of my new years resoultions is to finally read all the books I have currently on my book shelf, a lot of which I borrowed from a friend a good three years ago or so. I want to finish them all by new years if not before than, so I can perhaps read more

 ( Left- all the books I wanna read this year) 
 
And last but not least, I really wanna write in here more I want to post updates, and write a lot of stuff that has been circling in my mind lately. Not just about my life but about myself as a person and in general about the world around me as well.
Thanks for reading! :)

  1. such a fantastic post! like i just told you on the other post, you can do this. it's hard to do some adjusting, but just mentally work hard to talk yourself down from the fast food, soda, and junk food ledge! it's an addition, it's honestly like breaking a life-long addiction for us, BUT YOU CAN DO THIS.
