MISSION!!!

Okay, I seriously can't believe it but I leave on my Mission in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I haven't blogged a stitch about my mission, probably because the truth is...I haven't.
In fact, I haven't blogged in over a month...WHAT IS MY DEAL?!

I went to the temple 2 1/2 weeks ago, and that was just amazing, but the truth is ever since then I have had a really negative attitude, I've been really apathetic about leaving, and things have just been really hard. I missed that feeling I had of anticipation and thrill to be serving the Lord. Well today I was doing some housekeeping items to get ready to leave, and I realized that I hadn't watched some of the assigned movies that they ask you to watch before entering the Missionary Training Center, the movies are call the District 2. They are about a group of missionaries in the beautiful misssion of SAN DIEGO, MY MISSION! It was so refreshing and really a tender mercy to be able to watch missionaries in the exact mission that I'm going to be serving in, finding so much joy through bringing people to Christ. I really can not wait to get out there and serve my little heart out. I know that the Lord blesses us when we do His will.

I hope to have somebody update my blog with pictures and letters every-so-often while I'm gone, I'll also be posting my addresses on here so that everyone can WRITE ME:)!

alright, love ya blogger land:)

4 lbs....

peace out ;)

Weight Loss

So I'm on this new kick to lose some weight...it's my major, and I've helped a lot of people lose weight, but I've found myself at a weight that I am NOT happy with, so right now I'm focusing on weight loss big time:) I am slightly embarrassed to be writing this on my blog for the world to see, but I always tell my clients, if you want to accomplish a goal, it's best to be accountable to someone else for it, so this is my accountability, to you :)

I'm really into the website www.livestrong.com that's where I track my food intake and exercise. It's AMAZING! I also have a new goal, I figured that since I'm not so good at how I eat, and more of an exerciser, that I'll play up the positive. I am now doing 2 hours of cardio a day, TWO HOURS PEOPLE!!!!
I begin with a run, usually around 6 miles, (I've been a runner for a long time though, so this is not that bad for me) and I've also incorporated biking into my routine, I bike for an hour! I've found that I burn about 1200 calories with this workout, and I am totally digging it!

I'll be keeping you posted each week on how my workouts go and how my weight is fluctuating :)
YAY for weightloss:)

If My Life Were a Song

 This would be it!! Hold on for one more day, things will turn around and go my way! haha great jam!

color me optomistic

I'm feeling slightly colorful today! This is a rare thing for me. I'm not a colorful person, I don't like it all that much, i love neutrals, but there's something in the air. 
I have nothing extra exciting going on in my life...nothing even remotely blog worthy (unless you wanna count the boot i got put on my Uff at 12:15 last night...that taught me a lesson about breaking curfew!)
But in all honesty, I'm really optimistic about life! I am getting ready to serve a mission SAY WHAAAT? Like seriously, a year ago I hadn't the slightest idea that I would be saying that. I seriously have had the best year of my life thus far, and I can only imagine how awesome this next year is going to be!

My sassy little sister Kelsey got into BYU-Idaho!!! ^^^^ that's her:) I'm so stoked for her. I hope she finds the happiness and joy here that I have! 

Well that's all for today
I just wish you all happiness, joy, and peace in your desires and endeavors. It's a great day to be alive, even if things aren't just how we want them, find joy in the journey.

forgive me twilight

okay so i know i've talked a lot of crap about the whole vampire rage that occurred, and really, I don't even know if it's considered that cool anymore...but I've caved....

The Vampire Diaries....did anyone see this coming?! Heaven knows I didn't! I watched 9 hours strait on Saturday NINE FREAKING HOURS! I seriously have never been this into a show! I never understood what all the rage was, but seriously, these vampire dudes are HOT! and it doesn't help that the music in the show is really good! I seriously now am just having the problem deciding who i like more, Stefan or Damon....oh to be caught in the middle of these two would be so worth the drama of the show!

Well i'm sure I'm just a tad bit behind the times, but seriously, if anyone else out there is a VPD LOVER please share...
and yes i'm aware this qualifies me as an immature 15 year old girl, but really, it's SO good!
