hm? i have no idea what to title this!

i realize that i've been updating from school more so than from home.  i guess i just always have something better to do (i.e. the tv) when i'm comfortable on the couch. well, i've been consistently jogging 3-4 days a week for the past 3 weeks! i'm so proud of myself! i don't think i'm losing much weight but i feel better and possibly firmer!

and vegas is next week! i'm super excited for all the food and fun (hopefully) but i always have that tiny bit of worry at the back of my mind over things not going right. i'll just have to have an open mind and be willing to harmonize so that we will all have fun.  and buffets! all my exercising might be going to waste but a decent buffet is always worth it! and i am a late bloomer when it comes to vegas so i deserve it. heehee

on a calmer note, i found the breakfast burrito from the snack shack to be quite the treat! not only is it yummy but i don't feel so bad about myself after indulging in it...yes...2-3 times a week! it's organic eggs, potato skins (with some potato on it), cheese (very minimal) and salsa de gallo all on a whole wheat tortilla! it doesn't weigh my stomach down either and i don't go in a food coma.  thinking about it makes me want another one. maybe tomorrow or thursday..:)

i still haven't decided on what to buy: the night time moisturizer or the cleanser.  and we need to get the tickets! and i have to call the fin. aid office! and read some. i think this should be plenty for an update. toodles!

p.s. i'm excited that sawajiri erika is making a comeback. even if she's a diva, i think she deserves to be. she's hot, talented and interesting!

Foods to avoid

i feel like this blog is becoming the "morning-after-full-of-regrets" list of unhealthy meals.  yes, i did it again.  no, it wasn't a tuna melt.  after a night of productive (or so i would like to hope) exercising, i started today with a chicken mexicano burrito from baja fresh.  i thought...hey, it's chicken and beans (which has protein) and rice and cilantro (carbs and possibly veggies --which i did add later), that's gotta be healthy.  boy was i wrong.

i feel gross again.  i think it's the tortilla that makes me feel so full. or just the size. i need to learn to have portion control somewhere in my diet.  well, i will not have another REGULAR burrito again for breakfast.  except for the whole wheat ones.

so the list so far of foods to avoid: tuna melts, burritos

a quickie!

had ANOTHER tuna melt. i feel absolutely gross considering how i've been trying to eat healthy, exercise and lose weight. i have class in about 7 minutes so gotta make this quick.  read up on some health news on msnbc so i'm gonna try a few different exercises and maybe go to henry's to grab healthier snacks for home. but i also want to go to urban to find that dress! i guess i can make up some exercise on thursday bc ry will be out of town.

i really wish i had learned ballet when i was younger. or some type of physical activity.  maybe i'll go to a salsa class this friday (it's only $15 a session).  i think i have to watch my weight because i'm pretty sure i have more fat than is obvious.  that will take its toll on my health sooner or later. maybe go grab a decent pair of running shoes today. omg i need a job!  well, one with more hours at least!

downtime

i just had a decent tuna melt (of course not on par with the ones at GBC) and have some time to update. 

all my life i've been told to be smart and intelligent.  i study and went to school. i even managed to graduate.  but that same encouragement always perplexes me.  because, after all, i was told to BE intelligent. can one BE intelligent? or is it something that is innate and inherent...
there are various different types of "intelligent" people that i've met throughout the course of my life so far.  there are those who are so smart that they radiate it without spouting big words and complicated sentences. there are those who try hard and speak with clarity and understanding.  and there are those who seem to use their entire being to portray their "smarts".   i don't know which category i fall into (probably none of the above bc i'm a slacker at heart!).  but i tend to respect the formers more so than the latter. but how do you judge? how CAN you judge?  do grades correlate with being intelligent? does knowledge of many things imply wisdom? i have no idea. what does schooling mean?


that's probably why there are those who drop out of school. well, that's all. from the perspective of a slacker :)
