The 40 day challenge.
Kind of like Lent. But not.
Alright guys, here's the thing.
Bikini season is coming up and I am so not ready.
Eww, not that I'm going to be wearing a bikini. But just saying.
I've come up with a challenge for myself. To try and get me into shape.
And maybe lose a couple pounds. Not that I need to. But i think with the way I will be doing things it will be hard not to lose weight. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

And maybe lose a couple pounds. Not that I need to. But i think with the way I will be doing things it will be hard not to lose weight. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.
Okay. So for the next 40 days I will:
1. Be eating breakfast everyday. Even if it is just something small. But NOT eating breakfast at Tim Hortons. Well, at least not a breakfast sandwhich or anything. Those things are so bad for you.
2. Be carrying a water bottle with me everywhere. And not only will I be carrying this everywhere I might actually take a sip from it occasionally. :)
3.Be doing at least 15 minutes of physical activity per day. I was going to say just the exercise bike but sometimes I'm not at home all day so I'll broaden the terms and we'll see how it goes.
4.Not be weighing myself.
At last of all..the most important one.
5. Not be going to Starbucks.
OMG :). Well, I can't say not at all cause you never know when you have to go for coffee with somebody and there is nowhere to go but Starbucks so I will allow myself to get tea if I go. But nothing else. Definitely not any baked good. :( Goodbye sweet beloved cupcakes.
Now I know this is going to be a challenge. Trust me. I was on the bike today and I started massively sweating after 5 minutes.
I'm not a very routine girl and I'm hardly healthy at all.
But hopefully during this time I will start feeling more fit.
And maybe I will be able to ease off of my starbucks addiction. I'm sure my wallet and my mother would like me better cause of that.
So one final weigh in. 117.2
I will find it ironic if at the end of this I weigh more.

P.s. I'm going to need some punishments for if I skip a day. Can you help me out with thinking some up?
P.P.S. Every week I'll review and if I'm doing okay with it all I might start adding more rules.

Doing things a little different.
Well, I can't say it was the best V-day I've ever had.
It was definitely the one with the most mood swings ever though :).
But I had some amazing times.
I didn't want to be stuck at home on Valentines day so I invited a friend to have dinner with me.
I phoned to make reservations and then dressed up and picked up food on the way.
I set the table I had reserved and hurried to pick up Kandace.
We were escorted to our table and serve the house beverage on ice.
There were three courses and so much food that some of us could hardly put a dent in it.
Our regulars laughed at us. And we had an amazing time.
Some might call us crazy for having a nice dinner at the place we work. But I thought it was genius and way more fun that going to an actual restaurant would have been.

TILT
1.Not having to wake up at six am.
2.Doing something ridiculous and then laughing at myself cause I am so weird.
3.Laughing in general.
4.2 words: Fake Enthusiasm. Sometimes I entertain myself on Drive-Thru orders by pretending I'm really happy and that I really care about what they are ordering.
5.Green. Like the color.
That's all. I will sleep now.
But I have song for you.
If you don't dance along that is just plain sad.
Unless it hates you and doesn't play..in that case just click on the box and it should send you to the url on youtube of it.

What's the difference between me and Darla from Finding Nemo?
Well, not much if I get the orthodontists approval.
Yeah, you read right.
I have been having problems with my jaw. So I went to my dentist today to see what I had to do to fix it.
Apparently braces are the only way.
Yeah..I'm trying to laugh about it so I don't start cryinng :).
I'm going to have a consult with Dr. Wilcox soon and if everything goes right I should be sporting lotsa metal on my teeth as soon as possible.
YAY ME!

I'm getting annoyed.
Of people asking what I'm doing with my life.
*EDIT* I'm not 'getting' annoyed. I got there a long time ago*
Sometimes I just want to smack people.
(Yes, I can be very abusive :).
But seriously.
People keep asking me where I plan on going to school and what I will be taking.
And it makes me a little mad.
Because who's to say that I don't want to spend the rest of my life working at a minimum wage job.
I know sure it doesn't sound the greatest but if that's what I really enjoyed then why not?
Not everybody HAS to go to school after they graduate.
Lot's of people don't.
p.s. I'm not saying I don't want to go to school.
It's just that I have enough pressure and stress just worrying/thinking about it myself and that's without having people ask me every day.
I do not want to be a Tim Hortons lifer. Just making that VERY clear.

I know..Lame.
I will *not* admit that I like this song.
It's just really cute..and it's been stuck in my head for the last couple days.
After listening to this song on the radio and other places for like a month I finally found out it was by Justin Bieber only like a week ago.
It made me laugh.

Just sayin'
A friend has to be pretty special for me to wake up before six am.
Happy Birthday Andrew!

I want to make somebody smile.
Trying to find the chords for 'Bad day', I came across this instead.
I thought it was really cute. And since I couldn't do a cover it myself I thought I would show this one.

Day #9
Some things you should know:
1.An 8-4 shift is horrible. That half an hour makes all the difference.
2. The new whole leaf tea from Starbucks? Looks cool..but I can't stand their Earl Grey. I'm thinking that this is the reason I didn't like the London Fog the one time I tried it there.
3.Planning is fun.
4.Organizing is also fun.
5.When sleeping in the half an hour doesn't make any difference.
6.When I go to movies I get paranoid and convince myself I didn't lock the car and I don't enjoy the movie because of that.
7.When Bluenotes online has a free shipping sale I get extremely happy.
7 1/2. But not when the only shirt I would think to buy is extremely low priced..in large..
8.Everett Manning died. We had a funeral for him on Saturday. I got over the grief pretty quickly. But I don't think I'm ready for another commitment that huge quite yet.
9.This new hair dye is awesome possum. I had my hair up all day and usually if I take it out at the end it is all over the place and has nasty lines in it. But I took my hair out of the pony tail today and it was all smooth and sleek. And I was happy.
Before I dyed it..
And after I dyed it..
10. Arms can be nasty.
Helloooo everybody.
Guess what?
Today is the last full day.
I have enjoyed it immensely.
But..not that sad to see it go either.
Tonight I'm going to do another huge clean and then tomorrow I work so I will just have to trust that the boys can keep it clean for the few short hours from when they wake up to when the parents arrive.
Then it's back to being a normal teenager without a care in the world :).
