Let's Get Physical!

I spent two hours today in the gym!

And despite being tired, I feel great! I can sort of see the results of my hard work. The Marine certainly noticed, and I quote, "Damn your arms are so tiny!". I'm actually starting to get pumped about going to the gym. Afterwards I always feel so refreshed after a shower, I just wanna go outside... or clean something! I haven't weighed myself in awhile but my legs are getting thinner and those lovehandles are slowing going bye bye.

Today I tried a new ab workout with my sister. It's called NASCAR abs. Lol I know, but you do various exercises and instead of counting reps you just do your best in time intervals, I can totally feel the burn! And I ran a whole mile today without a stitch in my side! Sooo happy!

Now I just have to watch what I eat. Momma's making pork chops for dinner! YUM!

How is everyone doing? Do you have a fitness goal or milestone! Comment to me about it!!!

PS: Will have a blog about NC up soon... it just makes me sad to write it.

Paradise is Fleeting

I returned from Camp Lejeune, NC last night! What a trip! It was just the thing I needed! A week in a beachside cabana with the man I am madly in love with! Sadly I can't say that we really did a TON of things this week, I was just happy to spend time with him... and walking on the beach with him was probably the most relaxing I've been at liberty to have right now.

It was a rough night last night, but at least I didn't cry... just sniffled when we said goodbye at the airport... but then my flight was delayed just after he left.... such is my luck! However more about my trip later! With pictures! I was just so delighted to be with him... but plans to see him in August appear to be falling through, I just can't afford it... and yes its my own fault because I've been shopping... like a mad woman. But I did clean out my closet and now its down to things I will actually wear! I guess you could say I'm now a GAL and fashion addict. Which brings me to my next topic!

Things I want to buy!!!
** A New camera since mine went for a swim in the Atlantic!
** Circle Lenses from Geo Candy! One maybe two pairs.
** Bulk false lashes from Daiso Japan (They are super cheap I know, but they look good)
** A half wig from either Prisila or HOT HAIR. I really want one... but I may have to start dying my hair in order to have one... so maybe a full wig instead.
** A Can can hat.... but they don't look good on me. Poo berries!
** More clothes... but I will do my best to wait for Fall trends!!!!

Also the diet is back in full swing as of tomorrow. I have dropped a pants size. And I bought a SMALL in Express the other day I nearly cried!!! I'm hitting the gym with my sister, and I guess its not so much of a diet as I am just trying to eat less and as healthy as possible because I fatted hardcore in NC. And I really want to look awesome come this fall and then for Japan! So in order to amp up my GAL style I have to amp up my activity!

As far as Japan and school goes. I'm working on lesson plans for J-Cup for the second year students, I'm organizing a ledger and a big planner for the Japan Club use and for my personal use so I can stay on top of everything. I think I will buy one tomorrow at the store. For study abroad I will be starting the applications and such in the next couple of weeks. I should still be able to study and graduate a semester early but it will be tough! I also met my goal of saving $1000 for Japan! YAY! But just barely I will be pinching pennies until my summer job starts! But come fall I will keep working 20 hrs a week!

So that's all the babble for now, expect another post probably this weekend! Toodles love!

PS: I've started a list of things I need for the apartment next year with MagnificentDebra's Darling Daughter!!! SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Finals Week!!!

I was planning a nice post soon, but alas Finals Week is here... and I haven't got the time right now! YIKES! So expect some fun in the NEAR future!!! I'm just super busy at the moment!

AND!!! NINE little days before I'm in North Carolina again!

PS: Is it odd that I thought the fact that my mother was upset that I was a tad more excited to see my boyfriend then to come home and work all summer??? And I was annoyed by that fact... meh...
