I’m in love! Took a trip to the MFA two days ago and it was absolutely wonderful going through all the exhibits and admiring amazing pieces. I went home that night and began to sketch a portrait with deep shadows. I took mental notes in the back of my mind while exploring the art work in Boston, and i tried to portray them in my drawings. I’ve been complimented on my “progress” so far and feel as though I understand a bit more on shading/darks & lights. I’ll post some of my favorite pieces on here soon.
Also, I walked through Quincy market, which my buddy & I basically had to ourselves because there was NO ONE in there. Trying to make a decision on lunch was extremely difficult, and it didn’t help that the man at the Mexican stop kept yelling “bonita!” as i passed by while the Greek shop owner flirtatiously told me i was beautiful (in a thick, Greek accent). Was it a ploy to get me to buy their food? Either way, I don’t care because that Greek salad with peppers, feta, and chicken was absolutely mouth-watering and I wolfed it down. Spring Break starts tomorrow! I’ll have more time to update with interesting things and plan to do so.
I’m a slacker at updating my Tumblr!
I told myself i would frequently to keep track of my nutrition program progress but with the amount of school work i have this semester, it’s just not happening. I’m zoning out of my 3 hour class right now because of how ungodly boring it is, which is why I’m finally updating :)
Overall, I work out as much as i can BUT lately i’ve come down with sickness that won’t leave my body so I’m resting more than usual. I had blood drawn (which resulted in me getting light headed and almost throwing up). I got tested for mono, strep, and other sickness’s. So far I’ve got nothing back except for the knowledge I am anemic. A normal persons Iron level ranges from 50-175. Mine was a 26, not okay! At least that explains my constant need for sleep. I’m now consuming iron pills daily as well as vitamin B and C. I also found out that my blood type is O negative, Rh D. Apparently only 15% of white people have this type of blood. Being Rh negative also made me a bit nervous, because it states that if i try to have a baby one day with a man who is Rh positive, our baby may be very sick. I’m going to read up on that a bit more…
I’ve lost 7 lbs so far and inches around my body but I’m no where near my goal yet. I’m only 1 and a half months in. Technically I’m right on track because another 7 lbs. would get me right where i want.
Welp, that’s it for now. i’ll try to update with something more fun later on!
Yay! I lost 3 more pounds. Total of 6 so far. I’m pretty excited and proud of myself. I’ve been working hard in the gym at BSU and controlling my cravings. I feel fantastic and have a lot of motivation to continue. Drinking a lot of water as well as taking vitamins and eating clean food has been constant for the past 3 weeks.
I’m not just doing this to be “skinny”, but I want my health to be at it’s peak! I want to feel great when I run, or walk up a flight of stairs. It’s the little things. Yay for progress :)
Today in my family narrative class, we got assigned to write 2 hand-written letters to ourselves.
One will be you talking to you 5 years ago and giving advice on the future/warnings about what to look out for.
And the other will be you talking to yourself 5 years from now and what you hope your future self is doing.
I find this extremely fascinating. I know I’m going to warn my 17 year old self about loving my body and to stop drinking that Mountain Dew! But to have fun, hangout with your girlies and don’t let ANYONE take that away from you. I’m going to also warn myself about love and relationships, and to watch out for signs that may show certain things are not so healthy. As for my future self, I’m hoping that she will be a wholesome, happy person with an open mind. I hope she will be living a healthy lifestyle or maybe even in love/thinking about settling down with a man. Who knows. If these don’t come out too personal, I may just post one.
Love
I admire her. Such a babe.
