Stupid Junk Email

I was looking through my junk email for funny and stupid scams when I found this and forgot to share it here yesterday. The others that made me laugh were Russian bride emails.

Since all I have done today is study Naruto anime fillers here are the pictures.




Hopefully this week can only go up from here.

More Savage Chickens

My parents have concerts this week so I might no get out as much this week. It might be slow. Here is another Savsge Chickens comic.

Sugar Cheat

Yesterday I reached my half way point in weight loss. I also went to a Salad dinner at my home ward. Various members of the ward got together and had a relief society dinner where they all brought salads. Actually now that I think about it, it was probably a stake thing and not just a ward thing. I definitely cheated on my sugar free diet. I had a lemon bar, some different kinds of jello salads, some pasta salads, and a lot of pineapple. Laura made a fruit salad with strawberries, apples, grapes, peaches, oranges, and other stuff I don't remember. I also went to the gym and tried out their new stair machines (which I love now), and took my official update pic! I know cheating on my diet this weekend is kind of dumb since I just reached my half way point, but I'm not eating anything with added sugar until Easter. Here is my update pic.


We talked about how we can improve spiritually today in church. We had breakfast for our Fourth Sunday feast today. I ate Marshmallow Matey's, a cupcake, some cookies, and a muffin. I am right back to my no sugar diet as of now. I won't be eating sugar again until Easter like I said before. Sugar doesn't make me feel very good anyway, so this is a great choice.

Here are a few pictures of today's food. I even got to take home a free jug of milk!





I ate a lot of sourdough bread with butter tonight. I decided I might as well just do what I want until tomorrow. I also ate this quinoa kale stuff, it was pretty great. I decided not to even try to log most of the stuff I ate tonight on MyFitnessPal.

Anyway, I've caught up on the Naruto dub finally. I guess this is all for today.

Drawing the Line

I love quest bars, but I hate Splenda. Everything my mom says about it is bad and makes sense. I won't touch the stuff with a ten foot poll. When I learned that Quest Bars have Splenda I drew the line there. No matter what I'm not making any exceptions. I learned about this when I was at the mall today.

We had shepherds pie tonight for dinner.

Today was simple, but I always enjoy looking at the stores in the mall.

Oh yeah, weight loss spoilers.

Calorie Mistakes

Today we had pizza at institute, COSTCO pizza which is my favorite. I underestimated the calories and ate two slices. I had no idea that was around 1000 calories and knew I was in for a long day when I realized this.

I took a nap in choir and then left for the mall where I looked around. I also went to Michael's craft store and looked around. I ate a Kind Nut bar and just walked around town for a while. After I made my calorie mistake I planned my day out food and activity wise.

Later I went to the gym and saw my personal trainer. I did my usual stuff, but here are some pictures. This was pretty much my day today. I managed to burn off all the excess calories. It was around 10:40pm when I got home.

Sports Stuff

Today I went to the gym and also went window shopping for fitness equipment. My current stretch cord resistance band isn't strong enough anymore. I was playing around with this yesterday and I noticed this little fact. I also window shopped for sweat bands, though I couldn't find any for my arms. I'm sure I'll find some later though.

Anyway, here are some pictures.


The strength I need.



Handles and accessories. I have no idea why I didn't take a picture of the actual bands.


Sweat bands


Random pair of boxing gloves. I want to get some eventually, not quite yet though.

I had a pretty nice dinner tonight. Potatoes with sour cream, salad with ranch dressing, and turkey.

I'm Shrinking!

I went to Walmart after institute today. I didn't go to the gym today. I found out I shrunk 3 sizes in jeans! I am one size short of being able to fit into the highest size out of plus size at Deb as well! I didn't end up buying anything, but after going to Walmart and then Deb I was pretty happy! I definitely want to buy new pants next month for sure! I'm also really looking forward to this weekends weigh in. I think I might reach my halfway point!

Here are pictures.


I'm making progress slowly but surely. I'm also going to grow my hair out again if I reach my half way point before my next hair salon appointment.

Anyway, here is a random plate of eggs I ate tonight. I had some extra calories and wanted to try and make an egg that was a perfect circle.




I got pretty close!

I also forgot to mention that I weigh 165 lbs now! I was so preoccupied with Valentine's Day that it slipped my mind!

I'm glad I went shopping for pants today, it was a lot of fun.I also got in a really good nap and had popcorn at institute.

Mediocre Monday

Here is a Savage Chickens comic since today was boring.

Boring Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I let myself cheat by eating some chocolate. It's Valentine's Day so I don't feel bad about it. I'm going to go ahead and write today instead of Sunday simply because of what day it is. I won't write tomorrow naturally. Nothing much happened today. I just played games and watched YouTube videos. Yesterday was Tim's birthday, he turned 28. Mom and dad went out to dinner with him and I just stayed home. I don't think I mentioned this last night.

Here is a picture I like as consimation for my lack of subject material. I just think I really need to let myself take a break from writing this weekend.

Friday The 13th!

You might see my posting be a little unsteady over the next couple of weeks as I figure out what I want to do to improve my blog. I'll get my posts up eventually, but they will probably take a few days. I'll be improving my subject material and length as well.

Happy Friday the 13th! Today was a great day!

Anyway so on facebook I'm a part of this group called Chive Fitness. It is full of fitness buffs like me and every day of the week we have a special posting topic. Today was "Flex Friday". I don't remember if I mentioned it yesterday, but I got a tshirt from the gym but it was pretty big! I exchanged the shirt today and got a different size. This one isn't all red with black lettering like the other one. I had a black shirt that was pretty worn out and I threw it away and put my new shirt on. I'll get to Flex Friday soon. First I'll mention that I got a good workout today so far as arms go. I only brought a fanny pack with my wallet and phone today. I didn't feel like bringing my backpack today. I left after my workout. On my way home I did my pictures for Flex Friday for the Chive Fitness group. I was on the bus when I took these.










And here is my new shirt!







We had pizza tonight and I managed to only eat one slice. So far my improved eating has been going great. I'm already rapidly losing weight and I feel so good! Little Ceasars breadsticks ( crazy bread ) were the real challenge though! I love those and it was hard eating just one of those as well.

Skipping Class

I let myself sleep in today. I didn't feel like riding the bus all the way to school today and I was a little tired.

I did go to the gym tonight because my parents were at choir. I got to see Darik briefly too! I was a bit surprised by his appearance though because I was resting from sit-ups and had my eyes closed. My mind was just totally caught off guard. I really hope I see him again soon. Anyway, so I did cardio and weights and the usual. I think I'm going to focus more on my core for a while. I did a half an hour walk on the treadmill while I was waiting for mom and dad when they were on their way back.




Here is a random pie chart of my macros today.

Eggs & cheese on bread

This was my breakfast this morning. I'm still doing good diet wise. I've been drinking protein shakes for breakfast the past couple days but today I didn't feel like it very much.

I went to Harmon's today and bought some personal items I've been needing this week. Sorry if this week is a little bland. I am just taking it easy, especially after yesterday's squat binge. I am so sore today, but it feels really nice.

Funny how this week is turning out. Hopefully I'll have more to talk about tomorrow. I've been just watching Naruto and brainstorming about how I want to improve this blog and make it more interesting.

Anyway, we will see what happens.

Squats

I can tell this week is going to be kind of boring. I skipped institute today and just stayed home. I did 500 squats tonight and I'm sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow. It took me around 45 minutes and I was listening to Harry Potter while doing it. I was going to do 1000, but now I see that would have been insanity. Anyway, still doing good sugar free, but Laura brought me home a small bag of candy from a church activity she went to with Natalie and Kayla. I'm not going to eat it yet. I might eat it on Valentine's Day, but not sure yet.

Anyway here is some interesting stuff.

Sugar Free Day 1

Nothing much happened today. I made a short trip to the mall and started my sugar free diet again today. I didn't go to FHE tonight because they were giving away cupcakes and I didn't want the temptation.

Here are some cool videos. Today sugar free was a success! I've also started drinking 3/4th of a gallon of water every day. Hopefully my water weight will drop.

Lemon Bars & Chocolate Cake

Yesterday the lemon bars were finished! They finally set and we ate some of them. I went to Costco with Laura, Kayla and Mom yesterday later in the afternoon. We also went to Harmon's and I got a Raspberry Keifer and a cashew vanilla blueberry Kind bar




I watched more of a vampire anime called "Strike the Blood", it's more exciting in a magical way, more than a creepy way. I've been really enjoying it.

I listened to Harry Potter, and played games on my phone like Oldschool Blocks, Bejeweled and Trivia Crack.

In the afternoon I took my first walk around the track of the year,. The weather was flawless and wonderful. On my one hour walk I saw this really cool tree.



I decided I'm going to try to go sugar free this week and just try to eat healthier in general because I've been doing dreadful lately. I decided to finish off my peppermint candy because of this.

Today I got woken up to my brother giving me cookies that were delivered by my childhood best friend Devin. There were M&M and chocolate chip. I've known Devin my whole life and this made me really happy. We aren't as close as we used to be, but I still think of him as one of my most important friends. After this lovely wake up call I had a little bit of lemon bar, some pistachios and a little bit of dried mango for breakfast.

We talked about free agency today in Relief Society and Devin gave a lesson on the creation in Sunday school that was fantastic.

After church later in the evening we had a double birthday party for Paul who turned 30 last week and Tim who is turning 28 this week. We had chocolate cake and chocolate oreo pudding pie with whipped cream and oreo bits on top. The crust was an Oreo crust. I am going sugar free, or at least low sugar tomorrow, so I just ate as much as I wanted to. We also had steak, chicken, salad, potatoes, and broccoli for dinner.







I don't think I missed anything worth writing about.
