365 NEW Days for a Change
I can't believe all of these things have happened to me, but I want to honestly say I spent the year covering my true feelings up. I was a cynical and jealous 15 year old that envied people, kids at school who were better at everything than me, and other girls my age. I wanted what they had, but last night I realized that I needed to change a lot of things about myself. So I made some New Year's Resolutions; my honest Resolutions that I want to share with you.
- Try not to be so CYNICAL/SARCASTIC.
- Take better and much more needed care for my body.
- Be more friendly and open to other people.
- Appreciate the things that I have.
- Work harder on my grades.
- Learn to love the finer things in life (like turning 16).
- Save more and spend LESS.
- Sew more and learn how to style the pieces I already have.
- Pay attention to detail.
- Learn how to love myself and think of myself then being better than average.
A lot of these goals intertwine with each other. However, I really want to talk about my 2nd goal to take better care of my body. You may not know this, but I went to go see the doctor over break for a check-up and I found out that I'm 30 pounds overweight. Now I didn't believe it (my mom didn't either) because I never looked overweight since I'm 5'6. But the doctor said I was 150 lbs, a bit overweight, and advised my to eat lesser portions, watch my calorie intake, and exercise a little more than just dance. Let me make this clear: even though I'm still growing and my body is changing I'm not going to honestly depict every single thing I eat and hate myself afterwards for being so big in the first place. I'm going to think of it as a way to a better me. I'm going to watch what I eat and go on a Weight Watcher's plan that my mom and I created. It will be an at home plan and I'm committing myself to this because I know it will lead to a better, more self-confident, and kinder person. I have foods to try, plans and advise to keep me motivated, and new exercise routines to do. My goal is to get down to 125 lbs by the end of the year. I'll try to keep you guys posted about how I'm doing as I go. I won't start until Monday because I'm stalking up on foods to eat and figuring out a schedule of less surfing the web and more exercising/studying. With luck this will be the start of a better me.
On a happier note I did draw my resolutions out, but I tried to take a picture and it didn't come out well so I'm waiting until my mom gets home to take one with her camera. Until then I'm sending you lots of love for 2011. I hope this year will bring you 365 New Days for a Change!

new things this week.1

I'm going to start a new thing every week, since I have a tendency to not post for weeks I'm going to give updates.
Number 1: I got my Driver's permit! First try and I completely passed the test, and I've slowly been practicing driving around empty school parking lots. More like practicing once a week.
Number 2: Went to my Aunt's baby shower. Marilia had a glow about her and the baby boy she was carrying, but didn't take any pictures because my camera's battery died and my mom forgot her own. I can't wait to have another baby to babysit and get a chance to earn money.
Number 3: I'm dog sitting this week, and she is the cutest puppy boxer in the world. However, she has so much energy I keep on having to go to bed early just to keep up with her.
Number 4: I've been watching more movies than working on finishing my last summer assignment. So that means a lot of Movie Muses posts to come. And I've also been trying to borrow or buy 500 Days of Summer and Pirate Raido to watch. However, from hat I've seen for clips is that they both look great.
Number 5: I've also been reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow because I've been addicted to the previews. Also picked up some classics to read; for instance To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Catcher in the Rye.
Number 6: I've also been doing some major shopping. So a lot more newer outfit posts to come, if I get around doing them.
Number 7: While walking my dog one afternoon I've discovered this small trail going into this little patch of woods that I'm going to go explore. Hopefully not alone; I plan on finding a friend go with me.
Number 8: A fellow blogger is having a giveaway. She is the main reason why I've started my own blog and to follower her in the beginning when she had just 27 followers and to see her go to 100 is pretty cool. It's like knowing someone before he or she was famous. Well Maggie of Lifesize Paperdoll is having a 5-dress giveaway and I hope you enter in it. I have no idea of how to post a cool link and my computer won't let me click the link-thingy-clicker-thing, but here is the url address to where you can enter: http://life-size-paperdoll.blogspot.com (known fact competition is actually good so enter!).
Well thats all the new things in my life; If there are any for you tell me.
So love & new things,
