Any of my lovely Canadian followers live around the Montreal area?
I’m going to be in your neighborhood Monday through Wednesday, and you should give me some suggestions for must-see places to visit, shop, and eat ;)
In less than twenty-four hours my baby sister is leaving on a trip to Italy and a cruise around the Mediterranean which features Greece and Turkey…
She’ll be gone for two weeks. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself. I’m sure the first couple of days will be nice and quiet, but then I’m going to start missing her. I’m excited for her because it’s going to be an amazing trip. And she’s doing a few of the things I did in Italy when I went, which were some of my favorites. But at the same time it’s going to be so weird/sad/quiet/lonely/different without her here… Plus, since I’m a natural worrier by birth, I’m going to be paranoid about her safety the entire time. Ughhhh.
A list of things I should accomplish tomorrow:
- Wake up early
- Work more on my bedroom
- Return my library books
- See if I can still run
- Drive out to Saratoga to get my Florence tickets before work
- Read for at least an hour
And a list of things I will most likely end up accomplishing tomorrow:
- Sleep in
- Boyfriend cuddles
- Watch more episodes of The Biggest Loser
- Possibly go for a walk
- Spend too much time on Tumblr
- Put off all the things on the above list until I have to go to work
Gotta love summer vacation ;)
I look incredibly ghostlike in the bathroom of this hotel :P
All right, it’s time to get back into this!
Had a truly lovely weekend :) But I didn’t make the best food choices. Although I am proud that I didn’t go too overboard with what I did indulge in. And with all the walking and hiking in the past two days, I did manage to keep everything balanced.
So now that I’m back, it’s time to get serious again! I was looking at some of the pictures taken of me this weekend, and I didn’t always like what I saw. Although I could definitely see a small change in the pair of pants I was wearing yesterday, which was nice.
Had a (relatively) healthy dinner, minus the two slices of bacon… But now I’m going to go for a swim and I’m planning on doing some Wii Fit later. Here we go again! ;)
It was stunning up there.
My new philosophy on life ;)
This one decided to be uncooperative, so I had to zoom out to get the full diary in the screen capture. But voila! Actually pretty proud of how today went, aside from the cookies my sister made :P But I only had one, so I was happy about that.
Made myself breakfast this morning, instead of just skipping right over it. I can honestly say I felt a lot better after eating in the morning than when I didn’t eat breakfast. It’s so weird, because I used to get sick from eating early in the morning. But I’m glad that’s turning around!
I have two four hour shifts at work tomorrow, but after that I have three whole days off! And we’re going away, so I’m psyched :)
This picture of me was taken in Pompeii, Italy in February of 2007. I was at about 215-220 lbs at this point. I lost so much weight during this one week; we walked upwards of fifteen miles a day! No, I’m not stick thin in this photo. BUt I loved how I felt and how I looked. I felt confident, beautiful, and I had the guts to stand next to these two beautiful tour guides ;) Some of your starting weights are probably seventy-five pounds lower than I was in this photo. But this is about me now. I was happy with myself at this weight.
There’s truly nothing better than being your own thinspiration. I will look like this again, and even better! :)
