Goals

Since in about an hour it will be December (soooo crazy), i thought it would be a good idea to do a calorie deficit to try and speed up the weight loss.

If i do a 1000 calories a day with working out 3-5 times a week this would be the results:

If i stick to it, I could be at my goal weight (130) by March! Which isnt that far away. I extended the goals to include 120... but i dont know if that is a weight that i would want to venture, because I dont know if that weight would be suitable for my curves.

I am allowing myself to eat up to 1300, however would ideally like to cap it off at 1000 calories.

Thinking about cheat days with the holidays around.

reflections at 12:25 am

I am perceived as a person who knows who she is, and I am. However, I often get glimpses of the people who I used to associate with... and I wonder about the person I once was.

I think about how I had such close bonds with these people, people that I only remember when I make the effort to. People that I have actively, and successfully, tried to forget.

I would agree that I know the person I am, and that I am in love with the person I am and the person I am becoming... but this transition is still in it's early stages so I am still dealing with the every "now and then" when I have these moments where I recollect on my life and my choices.

I think of it this way: If it is meant for us to be friends, it will be. It didnt work out for a reason, and I should not feel bad about it. Everyone is at different places in their lives, and those places dont include each other in the picture. If in the future our paths cross again, you know what? I'll deal with it then.

Right now, I'm focusing on the now. I can't be mentally occupied wondering what if this, what if that. Focusing on myself and the gorgeous person I am and will be.

In losing friends, I gained myself... and that is something I would never want to trade.

Teenage Dream

Just when I thought I couldn't get enough of this song.

i hate you so much, that it burns when i look at you
