Almost There

*EDIT* Puppy is here! She's sooo cute. Laura named her Carli and I hate that name.

I cannot believe this summer is almost over.
Overall this summer was fairly decent. Normally I'm super depressed because it's so friggin hot over here. But luckily global warming has been toying with the climate and gave us a cool summer. That means pants for me. AND the new windows we got put in our house seem to make the house a refrigerator. It always seems the air conditioning is on in here. I love it.

Other than working I've hung out with my friends a few times. Last week I went on a bit of a shopping spree for back-to-school clothes. I've never found so much stuff! Of course one of my stops was to victoria's secret to pick up their 5 for 25 underwear. Ugh I looooove and then I found some pj pants there that are my school colors! I got myself 2 pairs of jeans from a boutique downtown. I was dreading it at first but then when I tried on the jeans they just made my lower half look better! AND I got a size 27, which I'm not sure what actual size that is. I know a 24 is a 0 and I think I could have snugged into a 26 since the 27 still is a little baggy. So I think that would make me like a 2 right? Or at least in those jeans? It made me feel so good. Like I've made some progress this summer.

I have now lost a solid 10 lbs. which if you think about it is quite healthy because it was over about a 3 month span, probably 5 within the last month. I'm just teetering now. I think after my brother's birthday party this saturday I'll be able to get some focus, start taking those pills again and get ready for school. Then at school I want to join the dance club. I also want to take yoga-as long as the crazy instructor isn't teachig it.

Some things I'd like to work on at school:
1.) Stop buying so many little things at target. It racked up my debt to laura. I'd like to not have that happen again.
2.) Exercise at least 3 times a week in the gym. Which will basically mean run at least a mile 3 days a week. Then yoga once a week. Dance club...i dunno how many times they meet. AND do Dr.Wolf's massive stair work out twice a week. Once on monday, once on friday. it's this awful workout we'll need to do 3 times a week come winter to get ready to go to the grand canyon. It takes about a day to hike down into the thing and a day to get back out. I'm going to need all the leg muscles I can get.
3.) Hang out with my original friends a bit more. Sure I've got my sorority now, but it's my first friends that got me through pledging in the first place. I need to tell Adam that I'm sorry that I was such a bitch at the end of the year. It was mostly from me freaking out about how much weight I had gained and it being summer-the time of shorts and mid-rifts. I really pushed him away and I've felt awful ever since. I'm not sure how to tell him though. I mean there really isn't an excuse to treat someone like that, especially since he's done so much for me. I don't think I ever realized how much this whole eating problem could hurt friendships until now.

I'm watching How Clean is You House right now. ON BBCA! I love BBCA and I found this other guy that likes it too. Too bad he's 2 years younger than me! Sad face. I've been watching the Olympics a lot too. I'm an Olympic junkie. There's something about watching real-live super heros that I just love. Ugh 4x100 swimming relay anyone?! Oh emgeeeee! And gymnastics!!! All arounds are tonight! SO excited!
