PROM

well... it was magical. This girl loves to get dressed up! I danced until my legs gave out, the company was amazing and I can't wait till Prom 2010 :)

first few days and cheating already

So I had an incredible first 2 days on HCG- 8.5 lbs down :) WAHOO!!!!! I'm feeling much more energized as well (that alone worth it)! Everything is great until a really cute boy that I have a slight (meaning huge) crush on asked me to come over for dinner. What's a girl to do? I eat his yummy wheat pasta and the most incredable chicken dripping in butter and loved it. I don't even regret it... sometime you have to give a little... so I'm back on program today (day 4) and I didn't dare get on the scale this morning... I'll just get on tomorrow after I get a chance to work it all off today :)

getting healthy

I've been horrible to my body lately and it's real mad at me with good reason! My workout have been brief or non existent, I've been eating sugar and carbs and my insulin is off the charts having a hay day! Everyone keeps asking me if I'm okay... yea I'm just literally making myself sick. When you have insulin inbalances you get discoloration under your eyes, armpits and you can literally see the difference. it's like a death shadow has come across your body- I know not hot!

So.... changes are coming. I'm starting HCG... that hormone diet. Today is the first day of the drops. You have to "fat load" the first 2 days (meaning eating like crap) think fried, sugar, carb, headache, tired and anything that would make you seditary and want to sleep. That's exactally what I want to do right now... SLEEP PLEASE!!!

I have faith that this will be a great thing for me. I need a pretty big kick in the butt especially because marathon is coming up ( sept 19th) and I need to still fit in my cl0thes. So please keep me accountable. Ask me how its going. It's a 40 day program - the 500 calorie diet starts Friday and I can't wait :)

If anyone has been thinking about it I got a killer deal from a local guy- $50 and its drops- no shots. I'll try and update how its going every few days on the blog... no so much for any of you but for myself to stay accountable.

Men

It's been an interesting week for me in boy world... yes boy world. There not men yet... sadly! So after kissing one and breaking off my heart from 2 of them I'm left with Patrick. On to bigger and better and someone who will treat me like a queen.

What could be better... a evening full of tight wrangler, chaps and cowboy hats. Now that is happiness. Friends and strawberries and cream made it even better. The tradition lives on!

Matt and Kirsten came!!

Matt (featured on the right in the green) and his girlfriend Kirsten came to visit his sister who just moved out here for the air force. Matt might be the nicest, most genuine guy ever! It was so fun to get together with these guys! Conversation was great and made me sad when it was time to go. Love those Ohio friends!! Kirsten was fantastic too. I felt like we were old friend and hope that soon it will be my turn to visit them!

Air Show

That's right I'm flying a plane :) ok.... maybe I'm just sitting in it!
waiting in line to see the plane
this is the back hatch of a hugely ginormous plane!!
way cool formations... they fly so close together!


Fighter plane

Travis and I went to the Air show on Saturday. He is my air national guard friend and he is a plane mechanic so he knew all about the planes... it was like I had my own tour guide around everything. I got to see everything I could have ever wanted to see about planes- very cool! Although the planes we're cool to see I especially loved the air show part. They do crazy things in those planes... especially when they pass each other and turn at the last second to avoid collision. It gave me a new perspective on the military. It opened my eyes to how much those brave and amazing men and women do. So grateful to have so many good people serving in the military and gaining the crucial skills to keep us safe. I'm so grateful for all the freedoms we have- what an incedable country to be apart of!

One last side note... men in uniform not sad, not sad at all! :)
