My Blogger Persona
Has anyone else noticed that my blog has multiple personalities? Is it a cooking blog? A family blog? Diet blog? Well my blog, like myself, is quite eclectic... and by eclectic I mean very inconsistent. I like to tell people that I don't know a lot about anything, but I know a little about everything. I also have ADHD (attention deficit) which means that my mind bounces around like crazy from one thing to another and a lot of the time I become "obsessive" about something and do that one thing for a while and then quickly burn out. Then I'll bounce to something else and then burn out and sometimes I'll go back to one thing that I have previously burnt out on and the cycle continues. While this is great if you are a believer that "variety is the spice of life" it can sometimes be cumbersome if you are trying to be consistent at something. Unfortunately my life has never been consistent so that's something that I'm trying to work on. While thinking about my New Year's Resolutions, I really figured out that my real goal this year is to be more consistent. The things I want to be consistent in are all things I've tried, but never made a habit in my life. Here are things that I would like to be consistent in:
1. Photography and taking more pictures and better pictures.
How I will achieve this consistent goal: Making it a point to take pictures every week. Also I am planning on going to my cousin's studio this summer to shadow him.
2. Staying fit. Story of most womens' lives. I just want to quit fluctuating so much so that ALL of my clothes fit ALL of the time and I don't have to have 3 different sets of clothes (really skinny clothing, normal happy size clothing, and "fat" clothing). Currently I am straddling the normal happy size and fat clothing so I want to work on shedding a few pounds on top of staying in better shape. I don't think that I will ever be one of "those" girls that has 0% body fat and looks awesome in everything, but I can be happy with my weight and size and that's what I truly want.
3. Have consistent hobbies. Did you know that I used to be a competitive inline speed skater? On the golf team in high school? A theatre geek? In junior high choir? President of the Home Ec club? An archaeology major? Highly involved in Student Government? A huge movie buff? A budding photographer? A really good cook? A Fashion Merchandising major? An avid doodler and painter? The list goes on. Do I do any of these things on a regular basis these days? Nope. I just want to be more consistent in my hobbies and doing something twice a year does not a hobby make.
In other news, the new Kings of Leon album is phenomenal. I am also really obsessed with the Cee Lo song "Forget You" (but the unedited version). Check them out.

A new look for the blog and "off the wagon"....
So if you haven't noticed- the blog got a new look! I finally went to thecutestblogontheblock.com and sifted through hundreds of backgrounds before finding this one- which is perfect! It's supposedly a Christmas-y background, but I think it's cute for everyday. I was getting kind of bored with the 10 background offered by blogger so on to better and prettier things!
As you might have noticed, I haven't blogged about my weight loss in over a week and that's because I have kind of fallen off the wagon a bit. I still haven't had much bread per say, but I have been cheating with tortillas and tortilla chips a little. This weekend when Dad came in we were eating out so much that the temptation was just too much for me to handle and I gave in - boo! So yesterday morning I was back on the wagon and eating right again. The working out thing hasn't been what it should be and I haven't really ran or worked out since last Thursday -EEK! I am planning on going to the gym sometime today and getting my butt back in gear. I think I have worked really hard to lose the first five pounds, but it hasn't been enough and I need to work even harder to lose the 5-8 more lbs I want to lose. I keep telling myself with all of the time I am going to have that I should be doing 2-a-days (working out in the morning and again in the afternoon), but saying something and doing it are two very different things. Maybe I will work out today and then try two-a-days tomorrow? We'll see...
Today I have a lot of stuff on my agenda, but nothing really of consequence. I need to give Riley a B-A-T-H and clean around the house some more, but there's a ton of little things in between that I need to do as well. For some reason I am really missing my family right now and I'm not sure if it's that I have all of this time on my hands now or if I am not seeing them enough, but it sucks. All I want to do right now is hang out with my family, especially Jen, Chris, and Abby. I miss you guys SO much - you have no idea. I am very excited that Chris got promoted to Sergeant though and they will FINALLY be able to move in the next year or two. YAY!! Here's the little girl that I miss so much:
Okay well I'm off to do housework and run more errands!
