Eye on the Prize

Ive been sticking very strictly to my new "life style" i guess if thats what you want to call it. i dont really want to say its a diet becaues sooner or later diets fizzle out and i want to stay strong with this, its been good ive seen some small improvements and ive lost a half inch of my waist!! ive been getting stronger and have found that i really like to cook. trying my very best not to eat anything prossesed. which has been really good for my stomach!!! i feel good and acompished every day. its like a chain reaction, if you make small changes here and there you will start to make more and more!

Any way i say all this to tell you an awful fear i have. its that time of year that people eat and eat and eat until they they can no longer keep their pants buttoned in fear that they might take someones eye out from it busting off and then they try to eat alittle more!! thats right, its the alaska state fair. where everythingis not only bad for you but its been deep fried 5 times checked buy the health department to see if it will give you cardiac arest and if it doesnt they deep frie it again and rolll it in salt. then you wake up the next morning 500lbs.   now i will say that im not one of thoes people that stuff them selves full jus cuz theres food every where but i am worried that if i eat that walking heart attack food that i will get off track of my goals and "life choice" or what ever this is. i do want to go to the fair cuz i love looking at all the venues and having a good time with my friends but im going to have to be really careful of what i chose to eat and keep my eye on the prize which im not entierly sure what that is... lol i guess its to "get fit"at least thats what i keep saying.

Work It Out

my new goal is to get fit. i at first said i want to lose 20 pounds but i then realized that when i was at that goal weight i had no muscle and i didnt eat righ and slept a ton cuz i had no energy. so my goal now is to "get fit" or "tone up". i dont think that im fat i jus dont want to get there which is why im doing something about in now. im changing my eating habits, what im consuming and when and im switching up my work outs. unfortunatly this means that im gunna have to stop my baskin robins challenge but thats ok i will eventualy at some point. i do hope to lose some weight but it probably wont be as much as i initially wanted to but thats alright. i will tell you this much that dancing with the stars cardio work out DVD is not easy it its a good alternative to runnine, which i hate!!
the next time i pass a mirro im gunna say, "heres lookin at you kid" cuz theres about to be some major change to this apperance

its dinner time! - yzma

ok so proud of my self today. i made dinner for my family (and amos was over too). well my mom helped me out but i was telling her what to do cuz she didnt know exactily what we were having.
i made grilled Teriyaki chicken, and a vegtibal sort of stir fri of potatos, green beans, peas, and sunflower seeds. that for desert i mad what is called peanut heaven that had apple juices, banana, whole raspberries, peaches, peach juices, strawberry yogurt and peanut butter all blended together after that was chilled i then put kiwi slices and chocolate shavings on top. all around super tasty and really healthy :) oh anf get this the only thing i uesd a recipe for was the teriyaki sause. everything else i jus was totally winging
also i had to go to the store for alot of the ingredeants and i was really impressed with my self at what great deals i got and i walked out of there only spening $18 for making dinner for 9.

the reason why i wanted to make dinner tomight was because my stomach is really sencitive and also ive been putting on some unwanted weight. and my mom makes alot of mexican and italian wich isnt such a good idea for my stomach if you knew all of my allergies and intolorances... of i thot hey i want to make something that is smart healty choice to eat and wont hurt my stomach and my mom was all good with not having to come up with something for dinner so i took on the project and it was a succes!! pretty much everyone loved it but amos doesnt like vegtables he only ate the potato part and he was scketchy about the nuty heaven jonathan refused to even try the vegtables at all. but everyone else who tried them loved them and had at least 2 helpings. its a good thing i made a few extra chicken brests because they were all snatched up too. nuttyheaven was a hit too

Catch Up

Its been a while sense ive writen anything. ive been fairly busy the past week or so. hanging out with Jordan and Derek, while Derek was in town. He lives in Craig Alaska which is south east. I took alot of my own advice and explored Anchorage going to places i have never been or rarely ever go to with the boys jus getting out of my box of comfort, witch is the goal. went to the saturday market and checked out all the art and crafty things. it was really making me miss art. i havnt really painted or sketched or even sewn hardly at all for about... i guess around a year or so. except i did shorten the straps on a tank top the other day but that doesnt count as sewing. but id like to get back into all my creativity cuz i feel jus a little deprived. im not amazing or anything but its a fun hobby.
hobbies keep people sane.
seriously
