Social Standby

Hello my other family.

Sorry for neglecting you and not keeping my promise but I must be honest enough to say I haven’t had it in me too much to stop by. I’m barely on instagram and I get crucified about that as well. See a lot of people clearly don’t understand I have a job. So during the day I can’t be on instagram and other social media sites. And during my social life I rather not continuously check in with social media. I like technology but I don’t love it. I can barely keep up with text messages much less. Please bare with me. These things just aren’t that important to me. But I will try to be more active on my blog.

Since the new year has arrived I’ve been trying to keep up with resolutions. Some don’t believe in resolutions but its the best time to start fresh. And I try to keep my promise especially when I’m dedicated and determined to do so.

I’ve lost a total of 10 pounds since I started my weight lost goal. It feels great. I get to relieve my stress on the elliptical and battle my weight lost goal at the same damn time. Its such a beautiful thing. I just came to realize that, any changes I want to make have to be within me. And this is one goal I know I’ll stick to. My other goals are coming together. Between the gym and going out more than usual I really have no time. I try to stay in on Sundays but I can’t give up an opportunity to have fun. I’m young and I personally don’t think I live enough. So I said before my maker calls me home I must use this time to live. We’re not guaranteed tomorrow so why wait? When I’m out with friends, or at the gym, around my family, and with the love of my life (my lavish bed), these are the only times I’m at ease! We can all relate! And besides work is another post to discuss.

What’s new in your world?

Dedication Mode!!!!!

Just a couple of months ago, I woke up one morning and decided that I was going to make major changes. I had a lot going on with family, friends, my love life, and WORK. I’m naturally a strong person but some days I truly wish that I had someone that could be strong for me. But no one said it would be easy.

Just recently I got the biggest smack in the face that I already knew would happen, but because of my denial I ignored it. I was trying to get back into school to finish my undergrad and with some financial issue, I have to put school on hold again.

The day I found out that I had to put school off, I came home, made a cup of tea, and cried.
Believe me when I say, I don’t cry, not unless I’m really hurt, and yes this hurt me.
I’ve been planning my life out for the last two years so I can finally have this goal in action. I don’t give up and I won’t but I just wish at times this I could’ve won since I’ve lost many battles lately. All this madness is apart of life and I’ve learned to accept that I will win some and lose some.

Some may not believe in resolutions, but with dedication, its possible.

I have managed to keep two goals this year,
(1) I’ve lost 10 pounds, well over the course of the year, by not eating after 7pm.
(2) Treating myself more, I’ve spent more money on myself then I realized over this year.

But for 2013,
(1) Less planning, more fun. Starting with Vacations. I only went on one successful trip this year. For the new year, I’m gone with the wind.
(2) Instead of complaining, I’m going to work. I will be on full dedication mode for my weight loss challenge. Birth control does not work for me at all, and for every time I take it, my weight skyrockets, and I was forced to take for health reasons. So enough of this shit.
(3) I may start a YouTube channel, I just love it. Its the reason why I’ve been neglecting my blog. I should be ashamed of myself for that but this will change too. Like I said I’m on dedication mode!
(4) I am finally adding some color to my life. I said I was going to cut and color my hair last year but I chickened out because I am afraid my hair will fall out. But I got some inspiration. Pictures coming soon.
(5) Buy the things I say I want on my list. I write a list every 6 months with my wants. I procrastinate on that list because of the prices. LOL nothing is cheap on that list but I’m atleast striving to check off half the list.

This will be a journey worth going on. I hope you’ll ride out with me. Any change for your new year?

Sandy and her baggage….

Hey Blog loves…

You guys know I’m in New York. This has been a trying week.

Sandy came and left her things behind.

A tree fell and knocked out 8 light poles the block behind me and put us out of electricity for 5 days. I just got back power at 6am this morning. I jumped out of bed like a child on Christmas morning. AMEN!!!!

I’ll be honest this one week taught me a lot about people and technology.

I really realized that I don’t need technology because I don’t really care to watch TV, use Instagram, or even talk/text, (Although I did upload I didn’t care to browse) but I now know that some of the people I thought would’ve been considerate enough to see if my family and I were okay, didn’t attempt.

But we Survived and I will sleep comfortably tonight.
