Travel

1.3 kg (3 pounds) is how much weight I lost this week! Slowly but surely making progress.

An incredible job… What would be a truly wonderful job to have (besides my dream job of being a published fiction novelist)? To be a well-paid-benefits-included-write-about-whatever-you-want professional blogger would be remarkable. Although I will admit that I am asking for a little much. Still a girl can dream.

Japanese! … Yes I am currently learning Japanese! I find this language fascinating. Thus far it has been challenging but my fascination keeps me motivated. Currently I am still learning level 1; however, it is pretty good pace for someone that started learning the language only a few days ago. Hopefully it will not be long until I am fluent in Japanese!

To Travel… Ah how I would love to travel more. Thus far I would like to visit Japan, Greece, Scotland, South Korea, France, Thailand, Germany, and Ireland. Japan being the country I am anticipating visiting the most.

The Lake… Yesterday I decided to go tubing with my family to celebrate my mother’s and my uncle’s birthday. FYI it was their 29th birthday… again.

Circled is my mother riding behind the Jet Ski.

 
 

My Goal Weight

A few weeks ago I had dinner with Antoinette at the Bistro. The atmosphere, music, food, everything was perfect. Although I will admit it was quite expensive. I had the crab spring roll Asian salad with raspberry vinaigrette for the appetizer. The entrée was the Oriental duck stir-fry with Chardonnay 2006 France as my drink of choice. Everything was perfectly delicious. Unfortunately the owner/chef is selling the restaurant to another organization.

My Goal Weight… I have decided to show all of you the body I am aiming to have.

Her name is Kim Ah Joong. She is a Korean actress and model. Her most famous movie is 200 Pounds Beauty (I wrote a post about this movie in March). Her height is 170 cm and her weight is 48kg. My height is also 170cm and my weight is little higher (okay more than a little). Maybe I will be close in about a year… Hopefully…

Rainy Day

It is raining today. Actually I would say outside is a thunderstorm. A couple of weeks ago I bought a pair of false eyelashes and adhesive. In the past I have not been able to master wearing false eyelashes. Since I had only tried twice I thought it might be worth another try. Tomorrow will be the final shot I will give false eyelashes. We will see if it will work out or not.

Yay for Fall… I am overjoyed that it is finally August! To me August means that it is the prelude to fall. I love fall! The carnival is only open in the fall (I love the carnival)! Candy apples are in abundance as well as Chilidogs, Dip n’ Dots, Funnel Cakes, Pizza (carnival pizza is the best) etc. (and all of the other food that you should never eat). Plus the exciting roller coasters always give me an adrenaline rush. Then shortly after the carnival closes it is time for Halloween! The decorations, candy, haunted houses, scary movies, and costumes combine to make this a extraordinary holiday! Next is Thanksgiving. Then follows my birthday and finally Christmas. I love fall and winter! In addition did I mention an abundance of pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin scents, pumpkin flavored coffee, etc!

Weight loss… I lost weight 3 pounds this week. This diet is truly working for me! Sugar cravings are not as relentless as before. In addition I am beginning to feel that I do not crave it as much (I still crave chocolate just not as much).

New Haircut… My intentions for a new hairstyle will not take effect for at least a few more months. I plan to have blunt bang and layers that frame my face! I am very excited about it! However my hair needs to be a couple of inches longer before I decide to cut it.

My Play list… I try to include different genres to show all the different music I listen to. So check it out! You might find a song you like and if you don’t I change the songs every week.

Blah Blah

Blah Blah I loathe work Blah Blah, now you do not have to read about me whining about work. Now we can move on.

Dieting… So I started a new diet this past Monday (07/26/2010). Thus far I only cheated twice. On Tuesday I had a slice of sugar free chocolate cake from Karl’s German Bakery (it was the best chocolate cake I have ever had. Not too terribly sweet like most chocolate cakes). Then Wednesday I had low calorie (turkey) chili. It doesn’t sound too bad, but I am only supposed to have salads for dinner with some grilled chicken (or something with equal amount of calories). Feeling so guilty I worked out until I sprained something (Yes my back was in great pain!).

Glasses Have Arrived… My glasses finally came in yesterday. The first hour of wearing them I thought I might be hallucinating. Everything looks almost animated, having a more circle shape. Also my depth perception is completely altered. So much that I was a little afraid to drive, but thankfully I adjusted and managed. Thursday I am going to pick up my trial version contacts.

Inception… This movie intrigued me. I am quite fond of it. The details, the special effects, and the action scenes were all key aspects of the movie I loved. Antoinette and I watched this movie separately, but we both like it. However those I watched the movie all did not like it. Be warned that it is somewhat of a brainteaser. It constantly kept me on my toes.
