New Years

Two more days and it's 2012. This honestly one of my favorite times of the year. Because a new year can mean a new you.. 2012 is going to be that year for me.  I have already made a huge lifestyle change and will continue to make necessary ones in the new year. This year I am not calling them resolutions because I never stick to them. This time I'm just calling them necessary changes, because in all reality that's what they are. I'm not making unrealistic ones either. Right now my biggest lifestyle change was to start eating healthier quit eating the junk food. My change/goal for the new year is to get back down to my weight before college as of right now I have 40 more to go. Those of you who know me know that I have always struggled with my weight. Well it's no more. I'm sick of feeling tired all the time and I hate walking to class a 15 minute walk and being out of breath that's not normal. I'm tired of being unhealthy and out of shape and overweight. I've had enough.

This year I have had a lot of eye opening experiences and changes. I have finally admitted to myself and my parents that I no longer want to major in marketing let alone work in racing and I'm not sure what I want to do anymore. I realized this in my 4th year of college I guess it's better late than never but just wish I would have admitted this earlier in my college career. I also had an idea deep down especially after taking the classes but after Dan died my idea very quickly became a fact. I just can't do that anymore.

I'm not sure what I want but as of right now I think I'm just going to graduate with an associates degree work for a while, while I do some more soul searching and eventually go back and get a bachelor's degree.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year's, but be safe and smart. :-)

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...

Investigation on Wheldon's Death

I'd like to think most of us had an idea of what caused his death, the pole of the catch fence. Today, we know it was the cause. However, many of us thought if the pole was on the outside of the fence rather than the inside it would have made a difference. Today, we find out that it would not have mattered what the position of the pole was. It was the force of the hit that caused his death. I may never get over this, but I do find some peace knowing that aside from his non-survivable head trauma he had no other injuries. I find is incredible and it just shows how safe the cars are.

Dan Wheldon

Image
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...
