I have decided that maybe if I write about my workouts and preparing for the wedding and what not more will get done! Of course then I have to make time to write! I have been making an online google document with workouts to do at home but of course I so far have spent more time doing that then actually doing them! I did however work out some last night! The problem is that I can't workout well after I eat because it makes me sick, that is why I can't eat anything before a soccer game, which is not healthy but otherwise I play like total crap. So after we ate last night I did some yoga and some ab and arm workouts. I did not do very much because my stomach had been upset all day but still I did some! I used to go to yoga once a week with me neighbor when I lived at home and it would help my neck and helped me keep exercising, but since I started working 5 days a week and now live farther away I have stopped going, plus I have no money :-(. Anyway I am determined to do it! I know I can! I know that I will cheat on what I eat sometimes but hey I am only human!
I made my chicken last night which is just marinated in soy sauce and garlic while it thaws then I cook it in my toaster oven and sprinkle it with pepper, garlic and onion flakes. Then I make green beans in a skillet with soy sauce and garlic. Not the healthiest meal because of all the salt and the fact that the green beans are cooked but hey better than fried potatoes I say! So I was not doing too bad then this morning I was going to have a banana instead of my usual strawberry poptarts, but of course that got ruined with my fiance decided he wanted McDonald's coffee and I of course had to get their hashbrowns which are SOOOOOO good! They like melt in your mouth! So there went my good eating. However for a snack I have ate a banana and I brought an apple and some honey for a snack later which I hear is supposed to be good for you.
Sorry if this is long and not very exciting but I am trying! Plus I haven't written in a long time and I am on a writing spree! I keep thinking of things I want to write on here and then I lose track of what I was doing! I may have to make more than one blog post today! I just really wish I had some readers! That would be nice! Anyway hopefully here one day soon I will.
I am trying to think of my New Year's Resolutions and so far I have come up with:
- I will be in shape for my wedding, I will work out at least every other day, but preferably everyday. Even if it is just sit ups or a quick yoga session or a run.
- I will continue my journey of reading the entire Bible, I fell behind but am determined to read a verse a night or at least every other night.
- I will attempt to eat better even if I cheat sometimes I will be okay with it.
- I am going to work on my cupcakery business and actually try it out.
- I am going to stress less about everything and know that only so much can be done at a time.
- I am going to work on my crafting/scrapbooking stuff.
- I will actually try to write a book, since I tell myself all the time how fun it would be to write one.
I know that is a lot of resolutions and I am sure I will think of more or maybe cross some off but I like them so far. I mean you only have one life to live so why not make the best of it right?!
Last night I watched Easy A and I thought it was actually pretty cute. Some parts were embarrassing but there were some pretty funny parts. I know a lot of people probably did not like it but I am silly and usually like movies that critics and other people hate when they write their reviews online. I really want to see Little Fockers, the new Narnia, True Grit and so much more! We haven't been to a movie in a long time!
I was very proud of myself over Christmas when I was in Tulsa vising my family I actually completed my first scrapbook! It was not as perfect as I would have liked it since I had to guess what I would need and wring it with me since it was a gift for my grandparents, but after spending about 9 nights on it I finally finished it! I am very glad I got it done! It was a lot of work and I know now that I am capable of doing a scrapbook but that maybe doing it slower would be easier! :-)
For Christmas my wonderful fiance got my a Kindle! I had been looking at all the different e-readers but I have always been one who enjoys actually having the book and was not sure it was worth getting it because I did not think I would like reading on a screen and not having the book. It is actually a lot easier and nicer than I thought it would be! However, I think there are times I will have to read a good old fashioned book just for old times sake, plus I like to read in the bath and sometimes reading makes me sleepy and I dip the books in the water and I don't think the Kindle would last through that. One thing I wish you could do on the Kindle is have like a library system because I will have to buy all the books I want to read, but as my fiance says I am so silly about money that I should not worry about spending $7 on a book. I chose to read Water For Elephants as my first book because I had read they were making a movie and so I thought I would read it. It is not the kind of book I would usually read but I am actually really enjoying it! I can't wait to find out what happens! Of course then I have to decide what to read next! Let's just say my to-read list is like 300 books long and grows every time I log onto GoodReads. I am currently also working my way through the Sookie Stackhouse series so I need to finish those, also the Vampire Diaries and Blue Blood series need to be finished. Yes I am a Vampire/Fantasy kind of book girl, but I am trying to branch out! I also bought a book on the person who built the World Fair and the serial killer who used the fairgrounds for his murders, which is not like me to read at all but I missed my history class books and I have been watching Dexter so I decided to try it. I haven't got very far because I am into Water for Elephants but it is kind of interesting.
