I’ve been so busy! xP
After more than a year since I quit CVS, my last stable job, I finally got a new job at The Home Depot (It’s about time! I can’t believe it took me a year to find a new part-time job). I’ve been at THD for the last three days for Training, so it’s taken up quite a bit of my time.
Along with my new job, I’ve been really serious about my diet and exercise routine. I’ve been counting all my calories with a nifty site called MyFitnessPal, which has really helped a whole lot (you can click the link to see how my progress has been going!). So far I’ve lost 3 pounds! I should reach my goal weight by the end of the summer. :)
I apologize in advance if I post a little less. Not only have I been too busy to go online very often, nothing too interesting has happened to me lately. But don’t worry, it won’t last long, and I’ll try harder to come online. :)
I have succumbed to the charms of the Nyan Cat. WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SO HAPPY? I’ve become so addicted to this video. It’s so darn cute. There’s no way I can possibly be upset while watching this. xD I am so obssesed, in fact, that I have looked through different versions of the song (there are some pretty good techno versions and such, but this slowed-down version is my favorite; the song resembles a cool hip-hop beat) and I’ve even played the video game (YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN NYAN CAT! <3). Like, seriously. It is the most pointless, most amusing thing you will ever watch on the internet. <3
Just because the world is supposedly going to end today (which is total bool chet in my opinion), people suddenly feel the need to do things they don’t do every day: pray, donate to the less fortunate, say ‘I love you’ to all their friends and family. You should live your life to the fullest every day, because even if the world doesn’t end today, you could get hit by a car tomorrow. Always let the people closest to you know that you care about them. Always take risks and grab opportunities. That way, so when the world finally does end, you won’t have to rush or die with regret.

I HAAAAAATE salad with a passion. I really try to avoid it at all costs, or I alternate between eating the salad and something else (usually chicken or rice) to mask the taste. But today I had salad, and I finished my entire bowl, thanks to a new ingredient: canned peaches.
I mentioned once before that I have a major sweet tooth, so this was the perfect solution for me. I took a can of 100 calorie sliced peaches (mine were in a light syrup, unfortunately. I much prefer fruit juice in my canned fruit, it’s healthier) and I poured it over my salad. I couldn’t help but gobble it all up. ^_^
Any fruit, canned or not, should work to add sweetness to your veggies. I might stick to canned fruit, though, since it comes with a juice to drizzle the salad with. :)
I got the inspiration for my new salad dressing here!
If you’re trying to eat healthy and get fit like I am, here are some links to other tumblr posts that contain tasty recipes or useful pictures. I’m putting these all in one place so I can easily find them when I need them. :)
I had an interesting breakfast today (or I guess it would be brunch.. I woke up a bit late this morning). I got the idea from looking at a ton of healthy recipes last night, and I somewhat concocted one of my own. I decided to take some cucumber slices, strawberry yogurt, and Special K Original to make my own little parfait sandwiches. :)
At first, I wanted to make cucumber sandwiches, but I had no fat free cream cheese. So I decided to use yogurt, but I had to use fat free strawberry yogurt to make up for the lack of plain yogurt. And since I didn’t have any granola or nuts, I instead used Special K. I put the yogurt on a plate, mixed the Special K into the yogurt, and then spread the yogurt mix onto my cucumber slices. And there you go! It was very, very yummy; a nice taste of sweetness to balance out the vegetable taste of the cucumber, with added crisp from the cereal. And less than 150 calories! You can also change up the ingredients to your taste. :)
I really wanna get serious about dieting now, so I going to try a little harder to eat healthy. I’m going to post up all the links to the healthy recipes I found last night, so I can have them all in one place, for me and for you!
Years ago when we were still kids, my fiancé showed me this video a few weeks after we met. It was the sweetest gesture, and it made me smile. But I realize now that I didn’t fully appreciate it back then.
I recently found the video again, and I’ll admit it— I cried. In fact, I can’t help but cry every time I watch it. This video, so simple and sweet, now means the fucking world to me. I get nostalgic when I listen to it: our childhood, our innocence, our secret whirlwind romance all comes rushing back to me. The song makes me realize that during our 5 year separation, while I wondered if he ever wondered about me, he really did still love me. That the simple little things he did for me were things he just couldn’t do for anyone else.
And although we probably didn’t know it 6 or 7 years ago, the video is a pretty good representation of us. Everyday he makes me feel like a preteen again; I daydream about him and I get shy and timid around him sometimes. And during our whole relationship we’ve always had to fight: my parents, the distance, our confusing-enough teenage angst.
I think this song (which is Tus Ojos by Belanova, by the way) is gonna be in the wedding music lineup. <3
