New Domain

heygirl6 — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 20:34:00 +0000

So I finally decided to purchase a domain. The payment hasn’t gone through yet so it is not officially mine until it is cleared. But, once I get things up and running I will post the link and move over there and I promise more posting will occur!

Ugh, Glasses..

I get migraines quite a lot and I know it is not normal but I do not want to go to the doctor, pay for a bunch of expensive tests and then have them give me some prescription. Well, I haven’t had pretty bad headaches in a little bit and then Sunday I got a migraine and ended up going to sleep really early. So, since Monday I have had this headache that sometimes will be slightly there and other times will really hurt. Yesterday, I had the headache and it got increasingly worse throughout the day. I started to realize that my eyes were hurting and it felt like i was straining the nerve in the back of my eye.

So, needless to say I pulled out my glasses I haven’t worn in almost 2 years and I’m wearing them today and what do you know, no more headaches. Not to say that is my only issue, but atleast it is curing it for now. Now, I just wish my health insurance covered Eye care because I hate these glasses!

One week of Food Diary

heygirl6 — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:22:49 +0000

Ok, so it has officially been a week since I started recording everything I eat and drink in My Daily Plate. I’ve realized that I am horrible on the weekends. This past weekend we went out to eat twice and had Quesadillas. It really killed my calorie count. I think one day I was over like 600 calories or something.

So far, I’m at 141.4, which is .8 pounds less than I was last week at this time. But, I honestly don’t think I lost any weight at all because my weight fluctuates between 140 and 142, once I get below 140 than I will believe I’m loosing some of it. I only exercised twice last week because the alarm didn’t wake me up on Friday. This morning I didn’t work out either because I had a massive migraine last night and my head was still sore today. I’m going to workout Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday morning. I just really need to watch my intake this weekend.

I will lose weight!

So, it’s been awhile but I’m really going to try harder to post more often. Honestly, I think my lack of posting is because I can’t really customize this how I want it because it’s through a free site and it really annoys me. Maybe if I get ambitious enough to post more I’ll see about getting a page somewhere else.

Anyways, I started using Daily Plate today to start tracking what I eat and how much I exercise. I hate the cliche of the New Years Resolution to lose weight and eat better and I’ve never made it before but this year I have. Last summer I went to Europe for a two week vacation and came back 10 lbs heavier. Currently, I’m at my heaviest weight I have ever been at 142. I hate it and I’m very disgusted with myself. So, this morning I started using our elliptical and I hope to at least start using it for 20 minutes three times a week and if I can get in the habit of that than hopefully I can increase to 5 days a week.

Anyways, along with that I obviously need to eat better. That doesn’t mean I’m cutting out fast food and desserts all together because whenever I do that I end up eating even worse than before. But, I’m hoping this Daily Plate website can help me track what I eat so I can see where I need to cut back and when I’m doing really bad. My minimum goal is to lose 10-12 pounds so I can get back to the weight I was at before I went on summer vacation. My ultimate goal is to weigh between 120-125. I guess we will see how it goes.

Iraq War Wounded Veterans

heygirl6 — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:35:20 +0000

I found this article on the CNN Website regarding how wounded veterans from the Iraq war are being treated when they come back. It is so sad to see that picture of Ty Ziegel before he left and now that he is back. To think that now he can never live a normal life again and will never be able to work is very saddening. But, what frustrates me the most is the fact that most Americans have no idea the treatment they receive when they come back form the war. I mean they defined his disability as much lower than it really is so they can save money on disability checks. The government did this to themselves by sending everyone over there to fight. They should have expected that the cost of these medical bills would sky rocket. To think these people volunteer their services to protect us overseas and meanwhile endangering there own lives, and this is how they are treated. Completely ridiculous if you ask me!

November already!

heygirl6 — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 19:24:48 +0000

I can’t believe it is November already. I only have 4 more weeks of classes for this semester =)

Been busy with school, work and getting involved in more activities. I get bored at work a lot and i’m trying to figure out how I want to configure this blog. I want to incorporate more pictures but I do not have a photo program on my work computer. Hopefully I will think of something soon. I want to update more but have interesting posts, and I always love other blogs that have a lot of pictures! Yes, I was that young kid who preferred the picture books over the words =)

Anniversary

heygirl6 — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:21:11 +0000

My fiancee and I’s anniversary is today. It will have been 3 years that we have been dating and I could not ask for any more =) He had flowers and balloons delivered to my work today and it was so sweet. 3 Roses and 3 Balloons for each year we have been together. I love it because it is simple and thoughtful. We are going out to eat tonight and we are going away on Saturday night for a little getaway. I just can’t wait until it hits 5pm so i can go home for the weekend =)

Feeling Accomplished

heygirl6 — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 18:54:23 +0000

I think today is the first day in awhile that i feel like i have accomplished things. At work I have been working on a couple of projects and they are finally finished, finalized and approved. For school, I received my grade back from my accounting midterm and received a 92 after many grueling hours of trying to figure out how to journalize and post particular entries. Last, but not least, a project I have been working on in another class we ranked last out of 7 groups last week. I was very dissapointed and frustrated because my other two team members are not helping me one bit. Well, I did the whole budget myself this time and not only are we ranked 1st this quarter, but we also received some very good feedback about our accomplishments we made.

So, i’m having a better day today than I have had the past few weeks. I’m still a little sick, but nothing compared to last week. I’m going out to dinner with the boy on friday for our anniversary and we are going away this weekend for one night to have a “romantic getaway”. I just wish I could always have this good feeling =)

Sick =(

heygirl6 — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:53:33 +0000

I have not been sick in a long time and now i have this sinus infection thing going on. I don’t mind the stuffy nose, the scratchy throat or the weird voice I have. What I do mind is the fact that my face hurts. I can’t get to sleep at night because there is so much pressure on my face from my sinuses. It is hard for me to go to work because I sit at the front so I greet everyone who comes in and have to answer the phone everytime it rings. I can’t just sit in my own little office, suck it up and do my own thing. I probably would have called in sick today if I was eligible to take sick time but I won’t be until next month. Therefore, I cannot afford to lose that money and stay home. Once I get through most of the day the rest of the afternoon is ok. Morning is the worst!
