Drive!

So I've decided that my new motto is drive! I'm trying to have a drive for accomplishment more than I currently do. So in order to have that I need to keep that in mind. I really want to get into better shape. My friends wedding is on the 23rd of December and my sisters and I got our bridesmaid dresses last week. My dress is a bit snug and its hard for me to breathe in it so I need to lose at least a few pounds before then. So I need to have the drive right now to lose the weight even though this is the time of year people tend to gain weight. Today I walked 4 miles and did 20 minutes of yoga, as well as playing with my 2 year old nephew (which yes, I do consider the exercise). On top of this I am also limiting my food intake so that I won't be tempted to go on a free for all and eat everything in the kitchen. 
     Another thing I want to work on is my languages I want improve on. I want to get better at my french as well as my SEE (signing exact English, the school district uses this for communication with Deaf students). I also want to read more things that aren't Harry Potter fanfiction which I read WAY too much of. I want to be the best me possible and in order to do that I have to have the personal drive to make it happen. I'm too heavy right now so my first goal has to be to have the drive to get the weight off. People tend to believe what they see and they believe heavier people don't have drive so if I want someone to believe I have drive then I have to have the drive to get the weight off. Its a cruel fact of our society that I have to accept and beat.
      I also what to start making sure I take a multivitamin and drinking a lot more water so I can become healthier all around. I'm glad I don't suffer from anything such as anxiety, but sometimes having no sense of a drive can be worse. A lot of people don't even think about their lack of a drive so I am glad it has been brought to my attention that I am lacking in that area so that I am able to take care of it and improve upon myself because before I wouldn't have realized why I wasn't making any improvement. If I am able to wake up every morning and remind myself that this lack of a drive is something I have to beat then I will be more likely to be able to beat it!

Halloween nails

So today I played around with some Halloween nail designs. I think they turned out super cute! I'm not sure how amused my sister was having to sit for so long while I painted her nails. Here is an image of the nails...

Okay the pointer finger I just wrote Boo! on, the middle finger is a ghost which is my personal favorite, and a jack-o-lantern on the ring finger finished off with a mummy design that I actually saw on Deez Nails blog and absolutely fell in love with it! I also did a spider on a spider web on her thumb but it didn't turn out as cute as I would have liked so I didn't take a picture.

Here is another picture, a bit closer. Sadly I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't have time for clean up :(


Another one of my favorite nail polish items for Halloween is glow in the dark nail polish! I tend to love things that change colors in some way. I've purchased ones before from Hot Topic that i really liked but they tend to not stay glowing for a long period of time in the dark. I'd like to post pictures of it later once I figure out my camera so I can take pictures in the dark. It will be better that way.

Working out with a friend

A friend and I decided recently that we would work out together. I realize now that it is much easier to stay motivated when you have someone relying on you. I've worked out with my sisters before but they are a lot easier to say no to when you want to be lazy than a friend is. We've only done it 2 days so far and I am still not sore. Yesterday we did some hip hop abs, and today we did cardio machines in her apartment complexes gym. We have already made plans to work out again on Tuesday.

The hard part is that I need to push myself to work out on the days that I am not going to be working out with my friend. I also want to start working on my jumping rope as well as my yoga again. My muscles feel so tight since I stopped. Also, if anyone reads this and knows of some really fun workouts please let me know and tell me why they are fun to you!
