Happy Days

Today is day UNO of the lemonade master cleanse detox fasting thingy.  Yay!  For the next few days, I get to drink 38 ounces a day of a lovely combo of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and water.  And that's it.  I can't eat anything else, but I can have lots of water and green tea.  Supposedly there are cheat foods too and I'm guessing they're your standard negative calorie foods but I'm not going to risk it quite yet.  My starting weight is 170 so we'll see how this goes.

After the detox is over I'm going to eat healthily and get exercising!  During the detox I'm doing a mile brisk walk daily, then afterwards I'll continue and add in some light cardio.  I'll have to ease my way back into eating again but that'll just make it easier to avoid the things that I don't need.  I'm so pumped for this, I can't wait to get into a bathingsuit!

Hoop-De-Doo

Blaaaargh.  I'm hungry.  And it's 4 AM.  And I'm lazy.  Boohoo =[

I'm kinda sleepy and I know I should go to sleep so I think I will in a few minutes here.  I just felt like posting some nothingness.

It's cold in here!  But alas, I can curl up in bed whilst I write this, as I have finally gone 100% wireless!  Yipee!  No more darn 50 foot ethernet cord to drag around the house with me.  I have this here MacBook, my Wii, my PS3, and the desktop connected wirelessly.  It's quite fabulous.

What else is new you ask?  (Wow, now I'm hearing questions from nonexistent readers.)  I've been cleaning!  It's amazing!  I emptied out one whole box of junk I had sitting around and I've started putting stuff that needs to go into storage in it.  I've also got my desk 98% clean.  I rearranged a bunch of crap to optimize the space, took some stuff off, and now it's looking lovely.  The only stuff that still has to find a new home is the stuffed frog my parents gave me when I got back from Tucson, which I think will look nice on top of my bookshelf, my camera tripod, which I can just stick inside the camera bag, some pictures that I need to hang up, and the Chia Head that I got for Christmas which is still in the box because I haven't figured out the best place to set it up yet.

Hmm...other than that...just been doing homework, drumming, and playing The Sims.  I do love that game.

But I've blathered on for far too long, so alas, it is time I sleep.  Farewell!

Happy Happy, Joy Joy

AMY HAS INTERNET ONCE AGAIN!

MWAHAHAHAHA!

Joy to the world!

Today was fun. I woke up at 8 AM (for reasons I am still unsure of) and at 10 I was out of the house. Went to get my schoolwork and got some food from 7-11 and then I was off down to ambush my godmother at work. But she wasn't there, so then I had nothing to do. Soooo I ended up driving around and looking at things blasting Disney songs and singing along offkey to see how many people would roll their windows up. I got 2 people to roll 'em up, and one guy rolled his down. Theeeen drove around some more, saw the creepy abandoned neighborhood, got some DVDs, stopped by my godmother's house but of course she wasn't there eeeeither...ooh and I went to the gay and lesbian thrift store (which you don't have to be gay or lesbian to shop there =p) and got myself 10 used records for $10! Yay! So I'm going to listen to those tonight. Hmm...ohh and then I went through Compton so I stopped blasting music and locked my doors haha. I did see some cops intervening in a gang fight and arresting people though, so that was fun. I want to go find a good soul food place in Compton, I saw a few. Tomorrow I have rehearsal so that's exciting. Hmm...so now I'm going to play some more TSO and prepare for the terror that is my nephew to arrive. God save the queen (and when I say that, I mean me).

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe

So it's almost 4 AM and therefore almost time to hit the hay. I've been sleepy but not quite tired enough to actually go to sleep, so I think I'll read a lovely coffee table book about Hawaii in the 1950's before I go to bed. I can't believe I got it for Christmas and I haven't started it yet! I've been excited about it. Hmm...so today I didn't go in to my meeting with my teacher because I feel like I'm coming down with something and I've also mysteriously pulled something in my right leg so I can't walk much. I spent most of today sleeping and then I watched some TV, played some Sims Online (Yay! It's free now!), and then had a 90's flashback while watching old little kids sing-a-long tapes with my nephew. And then later I played some Rock Band with my brother. So...yup. Tomorrow I've gotta practice my drums, because Thursday I have my lesson and rehearsal for the Doors show and I might go see my godfather's studio. Friday I think my mom and I are going to ambush my godmother at work (I guess it's just godparents week!) aaand then Saturday I have my first rehearsal for the Guns 'N' Roses/Motley Crue show. Exciting exciting. Sunday I'll just be lazy as usual I guess. Actually, I want to hang out with one of my friends. I'll have to find someone who's not busy and drag them to see Be Kind, Rewind with me. And then Monday I get to do homework because Tuesday I meet with my teacher again! Whew. Which reminds me, I have to go and pick up my worksheets. Ugh. I'm going to go and read now.

I wonder why I continue to write in this when I know no one but my mother reads it. And even she forgot about it for 2 months. How sad.

Burger Dance

The Pizza Hut, the Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Pizza Hut...

Hmm...is it abnormal for me to be "living" off of my bed? I mean, it's king sized, so I just keep everything I use a lot up here to one side...I've got my laptop, books and magazines, remotes, Wii controller, crackers, a scrapbooking kit, a Chia pet (don't really know why), clean clothes, coloring books, face wipes...seriously, I need help.

In other news, today is my birthday. At 10 minutes until 4 this afternoon, I will nolonger be "sweet 16" =[ But I did get some fun gifts! My mom got a PlayStation 3 that's not just for me but for eeeeverybody so we can watch BluRay DVDs on our nice HDTV that hasn't really served it's purpose yet. Then I got Rock Band (woohoo, finally!), some t-shirts, a very 90's Donald/Daisy Duck bag that I love, makeup, the world's coziest sweater, earrings...uuuuhm...yeah and I think some other stuff that I've forgotten. OH! I got some stuff for my drums: brushes (score), a tractor seat stool (soooo comfy), and a splash cymbal =D Yay! Oh and like $80. Plus I'll [hopefully] be going to Arizona for a weekend to visit my best friend! Yay! And that replaces the trip to San Francisco I was supposed to take this weekend to go to the YouTube party, which replaced a birthday party. So I'm good. Now I'm gonna finish watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, yay!

Think

So I have this thought. Basically, I need motivation to lose weight. I just tried on all of the jeans in my closet and sadly the majority of them no longer fit. I don't really know why I'm gaining weight, but my butt, thighs, and I'm pretty sure my upper arms are holding on to fat for dear life. I'm eating the same, if not better, than I used to, and exercising the same amount (which is none), yet I've gone up a couple pant sizes. I'm leaning towards putting the blame on stress. And definitely heredity. But anyways, I want to take a nice hour-long power walk every day because sources say it works and it's pretty easy. But I need this motivation. So my thought...maybe I'll chart my progress through YouTube! Since I don't really care if people know how fat I am (I've already started losing weight, and am now at 165 from 168) I figure posting videos about my weight-loss "journey" will give me some sort of motivation, aside from fitting into my beloved clothes again. So...yeah. Let's see if I can get off of my lazy ass tomorrow and go to the Y for a nice hour on the treadmill.
