I just read through over a year's worth of blogs. It's incredible how writing things down or typing in this case, has really provided me with an emotional release. It's such a great feeling to take a couple of minutes to recap a day's event or emotion.
I came across a trend though... as time has gone on, my blogs have gotten noticeably less optimistic. What's happened? One day I am thinking sunshine and rainbows, and now I'm walking around with a dark cloud over my head. Things have to change.
From now on, my glass is half full again.

Dear You,
Sitting in coffee shops for numerous hours. Playing music too loud. Spending money. Driving in our cars; getting lost and finding the way. Talking way too loud. Wordless conversations. Expressing ourselves. Reliving the past; dreaming about the future; taking care of the present. Understanding each other. Caring in an evil way. Reading each other's minds. Smiley faces and hearts. Text messages. Late night phone calls. Sharing stories; gossip. Living life.
Thanks for being such a good friend.
From: Me.

Wow.
This season of So You Think You Can Dance? has been absolutely incredible. Here are two of my favorite performances.
This one actually had me in tears last night.

This one is choreographed by my favorite, Mia Michaels, this woman is a genius! This dance is about drug addiction (Kayla being the addict, and Kupono being the drug)

Wake Up Call
No matter how you look at it, getting a call from the clinic with your blood test results is never fun... especially when the person on the other line is giving you a list of reasons why you're extremely unhealthy.
Now that the shock has subsided and I am feeling less depressed, I've switched into an optimistic mindset. I have three months to get better before I go for another blood test, and I AM going to change those results. How many times have I said that I am going to eat better and exercise? A million? I feel ridiculous saying it again, but this time I have a purpose. It's one thing to be overweight but another when you're overweight and unhealthy.
To get things started, I'm doing a two week challenge where I am going to write down everything that I eat and count calories. I am keeping track of everything so I know how much my body should be eating versus how much I want to eat. I also jotted down my current weight and I'll see how much that number drops two weeks from now.
Another thing I am going to start doing is walking to work when it's nice out in addition to any other exercise I decide to include in my routine this summer.
It's amazing how we need food every day to live but the nourishment can destroy us if not practiced in a healthy manner.
