25

This week I celebrated my 25th birthday. Holy Cow where has the time gone? I kept things small and just had a cookout with some of my closest friends and family. I had a great time, it was a lot of fun! I got some really cute things, and some wine glasses. :) I really can't believe I'm 25, I'm a quarter of a century old, holy crap! I can remember in high school, which was just 7 years ago, saying I wanted to be married and have a family started by the time I reached the age 25, or at least be engaged. Well, here I am at 25 with none of those things. And I'm okay with that. Things happen for a reason, and we may not always understand them right away, but I know God has his own special plan for me, and I need to let things happen the way they are meant to happen. I also thought I would have many more things accomplished. I thought for sure I'd be graduated from college and working in the IndyCar Series doing my dream job from the time I was 13. Ha. Sorry I had to chuckle at myself for a minute. I have also not done either one of those things either. I took a break from college for a while because I was getting burnt out and I didn't know how to juggle the party life and classes. So instead of failing out I just took a break. I'll go back and get my degree, I just don't know when. As far as my 'dream job' working in IndyCar. Sure, it may happen if it does that will be awesome. But that's no longer my goal and at 25 I really don't have a plan or career goal right now. So what have I done you may ask? I've been living on my own since I turned 21, I've had 2 apartments in  that span, one year I had no roommate and was able to make it fully on my own. With some assistance from my parents of course. But I have also been able to keep my same job for 4 years in August. I sell electronic cigarettes. It may not be the most glamorous job, but I make pretty good money and I enjoy it. I'm happy with the way my life is right now, and I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I live far enough from my parents to where I can still have my independence but close enough I can go home on my days off if I want to. Well that is all for now. I'm going to try to blog from here on out more often then I have been.

Dan Wheldon

I sit here attempting to study for my finals and all I can think about is Dan Wheldon. It still seems like a big nightmare. Dan Wheldon can't be gone. It's not fair. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had to work the day of the Las Vegas race and I was pissed that I couldn't enjoy the last race with my family and friends. But I went to work anyway, because that is what a responsible adult does. I work at a kiosk so it is easy for me to check things on the internet. Well this particular day I was a little busy with customers so I didn't get to start the radio broadcast on time. I think I tuned in on lap 10, it was right before the horrid accident happened. After the accident happened I knew something was wrong, I felt it in the pit of my stomach. I called my family constantly, tweeted, and facebooked. At this point work was the last thing on my mind. It was roughly 5:15 or so and while I had been crying the whole time, it was different, I just had a complete melt

Weight Journey

I've struggled with weight my entire life. I was in jr. high and was a member of Weight Watchers, at 13 years old. Weight Watchers did work for me and my lowest weight I believe was 140. Which is my ultimate goal weight, as of now. But it got to expensive going to the meetings so we stopped. As we stopped we also stopped eating healthy like we were doing while on weight watchers. Slowly, the weight came back on and ultimately more weight. By the time I graduated high school I weight about 200 pounds. Then it was time for college, being a college student I definitely didn't eat the way I should, during my 4 years of college I put on another 60 pounds roughly, weighing a whopping 260 pounds. In the next 6 months I put on 20 more pounds. My highest recorded weight was 280 pounds and that was Thanksgiving 2012. Now, I know that isn't healthy whatsoever, and I know what I need to do. Its a simply and easy equation. Eat healthy and get off my ass. The beginning of the year is the

7 Day Detox

So I'm starting my 7 day detox program through Genesis Pure. Here is the link to the program menu. http://www.genesispure.com/ templates/genesis/public/pdf/ 7_day_detox.pdf However, I will be changing a few things around. Instead of using their shakes I will be using Shakeology that I already have. I'm very excited/nervous about this because I've never done any sort of a detox. That being said I think it will go very well, and I'm not doing this to just 'loose weight' I'm doing it to flush my body of all the toxins I've ingested in the last few months during my hiatus of healthy living. I will say though I did weigh myself because I was curious to see how much weight I had gained, to my surprise I only gained 3.5 pounds in 3 months, so that's pretty okay if you ask me. I know that's no excuse for my hiatus but I'm blessed that it was only 3.5 pounds, because it could have been a lot worse! So I'm looking forward to this detox and eating
