Get Movin'

I have decided, yet again, that I am going to get into shape... only difference this time is I'm actually sticking with it. But let's go into some details. On Tuesday the 15th I joined Weight Watchers again. I've done it before and successfully lost 32 pounds, so I knew that it worked for me. But on top of that, I started running with my brother and my cousin a few days before I even joined WW. So, now I'm eating better, running about 3-5 times a week and I've been doing this now for about 2 weeks. I am so proud of myself! I've already lost 3.5 pounds! Just picture 14 sticks of butter... yeah, that's how much I've lost thus far.
So, why am I telling you this? Um... I'm not entirely sure, but if I'm capable of inspiring someone to get up and get movin' then I would be quite pleased. And if not, then I can at least take this time to brag that I'm losing weight and getting into shape and improving my health.

Be Positive

I realize it's been a very very long time since my last post, but so many things have happened. And to be perfectly honest, I haven't been in the best of moods lately. Trying to go to school, working a crappy paying part-time job, and dealing with boys can be a very frustrating thing. One day I was very overwhelmed with all these different things and my friend Mark called me up. While we were talking, I just broke down into tears. He was kind of fed up with my negative attitude and the fact that I was crying and he just told me to quit it. He said that it just didn't suit me and that I needed to stop focusing on the negative and look on the bright side of things.
He was completely right. Being negative and depressed does not go well with my otherwise bright and bubbly attitude. Not to mention, being negative gets you nowhere. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that my friend Mark is super-cool. He told me, "If you think you can do something, and I mean ANYTHING, you're right... you can. But if you think you can't, you're right... you can't."
Since then I have been trying my best to see the positive side of things, and let me tell you, it makes a world of difference. I've been a lot more productive with the various things that I have to do. And I've been a lot more like myself. So, to conclude my long, rambly-blog, let's all try our best to stay positive :)
