A few days ago I posted an entry with a picture. I even got a few comments on it but now it’s missing. I didn’t delete it or anything but it’s just gone. That is so weird. . .

So Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m looking foward to the food and the infamous ‘Black Friday’. I will be out and about shopping tomorrow for a few Christmas presents. Best Buy is having some amazing sales, as usual, so I figure I might as well go do my Christmas shopping now. Cross you fingers and hope I don’t spend too much money

This will probably sound totally ridiculous but I feel like I’m discovering the internet all over for the first time. haha Within the last month I’ve come across all these new, exciting, internesting and useful websites that I never knew existed but have been around for…forever. If you haven’t seen this one already please go check it out: Post Secret is quickly becoming one of my favorite web sites for entertainment. You may have heard of it, but it’s a website where people mail in their secrets on a handmade postcard and they get posted to this website. I think they put a new post every Sunday. For example:

Made my mouth drop. Then I kind of laughed…Sad, I know. But go check out the website and add it to your feed reader (another amazing gadget I’ve discovered).

So…I saw one of my ex’s today. I never realized how many emotions tie into something like that. Here’s how it felt:

First, there was a wave of excitement as ‘Is that really him?’ crossed through my head.
Then, there was a sudden nervousness as I realized it was. Seriously, my legs and hands started shaking I was so nervous. I immediately dialed the first number I found: Sammy. I had to have someone to talk to.
Next thing I know I’m giggling uncontrolably.
(yea, I have to admit, he looked pretty good.)
I was all smiles after that.

Since the start of this website I have had two serious relationships and some less serious/short lived ones (like the one I’m in now, that I’m probably going to end by 12:00 tonight). I’ll be honest and say I think about both of these ’serious relationship’ guys probably on a daily basis. Not obsessively but more like they cross my mind. Usually it’s because something reminds me of them. I’m not going to say which Ex I saw, I’ll just let you make your own guess.

So what’s new in my life?? I’ve found a new love in a place called P.F. Changs. I saw Transformers twice (midnight showing and matinae a few days later), it quite possibly is my new favorite action movie. The Simpson’s Movie was exactly what I expected it to be. It was funny, not very clever, but what did you expect from The Simpsons? Regardless, I liked it. I finally saw 300. Wow. Quite an amazing movie if I do say so myself. I love comic book style movies. The last Harry Potter book was awesome, she couldn’t have ended it better. Good thing I read it quickly because my dog chewed it up. The latest movie however was a little bit of a dissapointment. I seem to be going to sing kareoke and awful lot lately. At the place I go to you even get a CD so you can laugh at yourself later. I think I may just post that soon. Big Love is my newest obsession. Someone please tell me why any man would want more than one obnoxious, annoying, nagging wife.

It’s Friday. I’m down for a party tonight. I actually have a date but I’m hoping to get out of it. My off-line life starts to take over sometimes guys, sorry. Hence, not so many updates. My horoscope recently read:
Your schedule may be getting so out of control that something has to give, for you might not be able to keep up with your commitments. Remember, if you have over-extended yourself, it’s better to cut back now than to wait until it’s too late. Setting priorities will help you establish manageable boundaries to create more balance in your life.

That couldn’t be more true.

The trip was awesome. I got some great photos, you can see a few of my photos and my four day itinerary at Travel Itinerary for San Francisco. You’ll have to wait for the rest. We saw everything from the golden gate bridge to Alcatraz. I don’t think we could have had a better trip. The weather was slightly warm but nothing compared to Vegas weather. The skies were clear and beautiful and dinner was amazing. We had dinner at different places every night and oh was it good. Luckily, no weight gain for me.

Staying at home is pretty fun. Slightly boring but it is worth it. When I get bored I just go online and find something interesting. I’ve spent the bulk of my time playing Guild Wars and I have beat the Factions campaign with my ranger. I’m currently working on the Nightfall campaign with a necromancer.

Just ordered a new computer. It will be here on Monday. I can’t wait to try it out and see how much better it is. It will probably only make me play guild wars more but hey, if it makes me happy.

So I’ve been majorly dieting for the last week and a half. I decided to do this for a few different reasons, mainly because I want to feel better about myself, second because I’m going on vacation in two months and want to look and feel my best, and well I just decided it was definitaly time I drop that 25 pounds that has been on my to do list since…forever.

I have juggled with weight problems since as long as I can remember. I’ve never been fat but I’ve never been skinny. In the past, I’d say ten months, I’ve let my weight get completely out of control and put on a whoping fifty pounds in ten months. Umm lets do the math there that is five pounds per month which is ridiculous. I completely stopped expercising, eating a whole lot more, and eating worse. So it’s time for me to take control and get my weight back under control. I have to admit that this is really embarassing to write, but I think it helps to get all of the struggles out there. That way I can tell everyone about my success in the end.

I have good news to report. After only a week and a half I have lost 10 pounds. Pretty amazing huh? I have been eating healthy, doing light exercise, taking fiber pills and taking diet supplements. I’m sure most of that is just water weight but still I can tell my legs and hips are starting to get thinner and some of the pants I was wearing before have started to get lose. I’m feeling pretty good about myself and it is urging me to keep going.

And I maintained my diet over my birthday weekend. For the diet I have sworn off of fast food for at least a month and soda. I never had a problem with soda before, in fact water is usually my drink of choice. However, occassionally I might have a soda here and there. Fast food has ALWAYS been a weakness of mine. I could eat In-N-Out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But for the month of March I have completely stopped. My biggest problem is self control. It seems like I can’t control myself when I get that craving for chocolate or Taco Bell. So, that is the real challenge I’m facing right now. I have to say that I’m really proud of myself and I’ve come a long way. I’m going to keep working on it and I will keep everyone updated on my progress.
