I’ve decided to start in on dieting and exercise and all that fun business as soon as the new year starts. So, that gives me one more day to eat out and laze around the house until the work starts. In preparation for this, I’ve located the Ab Lounge that was lurking out in the garage, made a sweet mix CD for working out, and convinced my partner to help me stop eating out so much. It’s going to be tough, but hopefully, I can get back down to the size I was prior to my depression. I figure an hour every morning before school should be sufficient, especially when coupled with healthy meals and plenty of water. I’ll keep posting as I go along!

How I did it: studied hard; really, really hard... didn't pay attention to friends who dropped out sophomore year; it's not worth it joined some clubs and sports to make things less boring joined some more clubs, and ran for some offices got in trouble occasionally, but not enough to even get a detention had fun, even if there was occasional drama and bad days Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I didn't so it well, that's for sure. We were very mismatched, height-wise, and he couldn't hold me up. So, we laid down in the tub, and that sucked even more, because these horrible squeaking noises were emanating from beneath us. It was God-awful. Not only that, but he wanted to 'soap me up', and after doing so, I got soap in my eyes, ears, mouth, pretty much everywhere.It pretty much sucked. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've been chewing my nails since I was conscious of being alive. I would do it when I was stressed, bored, driving, excited; in short, pretty much all the time. One day, a few weeks ago, I looked down at my nails, and they were longer, and looked a great deal more feminine. I had been on vacation at the time, and was having so much fun I had completely forgotten about my nails, or stresses, or anything like that. Of course, since noticing… Read how I did it…

Have you ever fallen in love with a song? It’s a rare and wonderful occurrence, and for me, it usually happens with a song that was written before I was even an idea. I usually tend toward classic rock, the kind of music my parents listened to when they were my age. However, as little as I listen to newer music, I am occasionally exposed to it. In this case, my adoration is focused on Adam Lambert’s new song, “For Your Entertainment”. It might be the ‘80s vibe to it, or just the fact that it’s in my vocal range, but the song just won’t get out of my mind. So, I’ve decided to make a music video.
As my Youtube account can attest to, I’m usually behind the camera. This time, it’ll be different. I’ve got a sweet location [Dad’s garage] and I’m designing a costume, so, once I’ve achieved my other goal for the year, to lose the depression weight I put on, things will get interesting.
I’m most likely going to look like a skank and a half, but it’ll be worth it if I can get back to my old skinny self. Plus, weight loss just isn’t much fun without a goal in mind.
Let the crunches begin!
My friend, Spock, and I carpool to college every day. He rarely packs a lunch, and even though I do, we often wind up going out to eat at one of the many restaurants in our area. Between this, and the anti-depressants I am taking, I have gained almost 50 pounds. I am used to being a skinny person, so to be overweight is horrid for me. Our New Year’s resolution is to only eat out once a month, as part of a date or something like that. This can’t be a regular thing anymore.
