HEY GUYS!!!!!I am really sorry that I haven't been blogging for you all, its been a freaking hellacious time.  Christmas is the season to give ... and a season to eat your fucking brains out.  I didn't!!!! I did so well and I haven't smoked either!!! Its been awsome!!! I have been running regularly; however, because of the weather have missed some.  It is cold as a witches' tit in a brass bra! I can't take it.  I run and it fills like my mucus is about to engulf my body and fill every orifice.  The one thing I do need to work on is my food intake. I get so hungry after I run and fill like I should eat and eat.  I love food so much and it loves me back I just know it! My parents are getting soooooo annoying! I could smoke 50 packs of cigs.  I wanna leave, but I love them! Now as my fingers are going numb from the coldness because my parents are too cheap to turn on the heat and my mom and I suck at building fires,  I shall go and find something to do with my life.   Maybe take photographs of the magicalness that is Jefferson, SC or just fucking sit here and watch The Golden Girls.  I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Hello strangers! Well, enough excuses.  It's time to get back on board.  Almost everyday I have started to post and then been too distracted or too embarrassed to finish it up.  No more!  I am so proud of Lee and it's time to start supporting him and myself.  I've been busy, sick and then just plain lazy, but I gotta get down to business.  I think the hardest part has been living in an environment where nothing healthy is promoted.  Seriously, all I see are commercials for fast-food and opportunities to lay myself up on the couch with nothing but a Wendy's frosty.  Yummm.  I've seriously been contemplating joining Weight-Watchers or a similar group because I honestly have no idea how to get my diet on track.  When I don't eat correctly, I have no motivation to work out because #1- I feel too gross and #2- I think what's the use.  I also have a very whacked-up view of food.  I am the first to admit I am an emotional eater.  I'll eat a healthy breakfast and then use that as an excuse to bomb out on lunch or dinner.  Being home has also put a lot of temptation in front of me, as I use my meals as a social circumstance.  Then I feel guilty for not taking advantage of the yummy (and very greasy) food available.  Or I'll wake up late, not eat until 3 or 4 and then gorge on something crappy stuff from the pantry or fridge.  The solution may be to micromanage each day.  I just don't know....lots of ideas and no real plan.  So that's where I'll start.  A plan.  Love you all and hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Gonna let the nyquil do its thing, and i'll let you know the details of tomorrow's plan in the morning!

Hey Guys!!! Just want to say that Olivia is still on board...I am sure she is being a busy little bee at home and hasn't had the time to keep you all up to date.  Since I live in the Land of Boredom this blog keeps me going.  As I sit here with my dog laying on my crotch I just want to say that I had a really awesome day. I woke up to the sound of my new Blackberry! I then ate a healthy breakfast. I went to put money in the bank and had Mexican...not so healthy but it was more healthy than fastfood.  I ran 4 miles today!!! I also smoked no cigs!!!! So freakin proud of myself!!! I kept my lil cousin Cooper today and lost 5lbs because he is really hyper! I LOVE HIM!!! Thats all for today though I'm freakin tired!

HEY GUYS!!!! To start off with.....I got a new phone!!!!! Anyway today was crap. I went to get my phone and it took forever...like 3 hours.  Then I came home played with the phone for 3 more hours and realized that it was five and I hadn't hardly eaten anything or yet have I ran.  So I ran first.  COLD AS BALLS! Let me tell you I had ice forming on my nose it was so cold.  I had to run in a sweat shirt...not cool (no pun intended).  Well I ran 3 miles and of course played Christmas music as I ran.  I broke it down in the middle of the road to Feliz Navidad, Celine Dion version of course.  I then finished and with no moisture in my body hocked up this gigantic lugi the size of Texas... ironically it was shaped like Mexico. Anyway, I did some physical activity today. However, the most I did was at dinner when I downed like 10 hot wings! Ugh!!!!! FAT!!!! Anyway not a bad bad day health wiSe.  NO SMOKING TODAY! Yay for me!!! DOWN WITH THE NICOTINE!!! I CHEW GUM LIKE A COW CHEWS A CUD. RIDICULOUS!

Hey bloggers!!!!! Sorry I haven't been blogging much but its been hell the past few days.  On Friday, I went shopping and then became a victim to the freakin rain.  I couldn't do anything! I didn't get to run or even get to walk! I was really pissed off.  However, yesterday was awsome!!!! I went to the town of Jefferson and once again ran until my heart of fully about to explode.  Once again was became entrapped by my iPod. This time I didn't fall to Glee...I fell to Beyonce and Mrs. Dion.  I did an inspirational dance on the road and then attracted an audience.  I became so consumed by the music that I ran 4 miles.  I did my route twice.  The department of Smoking has been somewhat mediocre.  I smoked 3 cigs in the past 3 days so that is good.  DON'T JUDGE ME! ITS STRESSFUL BEING AT HOME.  I will soon concur my addiction, but it takes one day at a time.  I am beginning to feel a lot better and looking better everyday...if that is possible.  Now as I sit here playing the guitar I will leave my readers with some inspiration from the cast of Glee.  "Smile though your heart is breaking. Smile even though its aching. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by!" Amen! I love you all.  Oh a funny little story about myself.  I when I ran on Saturday and got really caught up in the music, a dog was chancing me the entire time.  Hahahaha a little ankle bitter he was.  I turned around and there he was with me...the entire time.  Little bastard. Ciao!

Oh my god!!!! I didn't have a chance to blog yesterday...but yesterday was good.  I ran and all that...did great. Except at night time when I freakin had to talk about my break up to my cousin and my best friend.  I can't take it anymore!! I freakin smoked a cig and I felt so guilty for doing it that I smoked another one! Why!? Why!? Do you have this hold on me SP!!!!??!!!! You know who those initials are! I digress.  Well after feeling shitty about my choices...today I did quite well. No cigs!!! I ran and ate somewhat healthy.  Today was so cold and I forgot to charge my iPod, which was awful! I had to run without it. No Glee. So I had to deal with it and freeze my numb numbs off.  I agree with Olivia about the whole lifestyle changing.  Working out and running is not going to be my problems...or even eating healthy that is easy for me.  Smoking will be my enemy.  I can't begin to explain how that first inhalation of smoke feels, especially after a long stressful day.  However, it has become a crutch.  I don't need a crutch...I have never needed a crutch.  I saw this commercial today.  It was the smoking commercial that says I was gonna quit before I got married...before I graduated...before I had children...etc. etc.  Well damn it I will quit before I go back to school! DOWN WITH THE NICOTINE! Oh and btw...never run where there are a lot of dogs.  Little bastard came and almost took my leg off.  Ugh! I hate that dog. It happens every time I run.  Today I got smart...right as he ran toward me I ran toward him and scared him.  AHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Yes, he will never run at me again.  I'm done for the night! Peace readers...if we have any.

Arrived in Atlanta last night and celebrated good grades and the end of another semester.  So that consisted of lots and lots of alcohol.  Beer, wine, liquor....you name it.  I was a one-stop shop.  Spent the day recooperating, and I would not make Santa's good list right now.  The more I think about it, though, the more I realize that this is probably a nice reality check. Yes, I definitely over-indulged, but I stayed away from Waffle House!  :) 
No, I'm not going to graze on greens and the fruits of the land 24/7. No, I'm not going to be able to work out everyday. Okay, time to accept it. This is normally the point where I get down about "slipping" and wonder what's the use in trying?  I'm never going to be able to do this or that if I don't stick to this routine to a T.  Not gonna happen this time.  Again, this is about changing my lifestyle, and that's not going to happen overnight.  It's not going to happen in a day, in a week, or even a month.  I've done well with somethings (portion control, avoiding fried foods) and others will take time to change.
Lee and I had the conversation last night about our food choices.  It's something I've been pondering for a while, about our options and the actual reality of those options.  Yes, I can buy my own groceries for the week and cook a nice dinner for myself every night.  But that's not the easiest thing to do, by far!  Nor is it the cheapest, in some cases.  Again, just things to ponder....   We will do this!!!  :)
