30 Days of Truth: Day 1

Day 1: Something you hate about yourself

Something I hate about myself.. hmm.. There is nothing i "hate" about myself but there are many things I wish I could improve.  I think the biggest one would have to be my actions when I am scared.  When I'm unsure of something or I do not know if it is the best decision I tend to have the fight or flight reaction.  Sometimes I ignore it ((ex: I want to apply for a school but it looks complicated and I don't know if I will get in so I won't apply)) or I overreact ((I breakup with someone because I'm scared of the outcome)).  I absolutely hate this about me only because it makes me doubt myself.  I over think things.  It's hard to improve because when I try I get really anxious.  For example, I may have wanted to tell my boyfriend "I love you" but I got anxious very anxious.  My hands got sweaty, my voice rattled, I just felt like I was going to die of embarrassment.  So what I have been trying to do to make progress is to take things one day at a time in baby steps.  So before I told my boyfriend "I love you", I made a pros and cons list, I practiced it many times, and I even chickened out a few times... But I know that I needed to tell him.  I went from a text, to a whisper in the ear, to publicly typing it, and my next goal is to look him in the eye and tell him.. eek! scary.  But anyways... back to why I hate this trait.. I overall feel like it is keeping me from being the best person I can be.

Claim Jumper

My boyfriend and I ate at Claim Jumper restaurant yesterday in Roseville. We found this place because it was highly recommended by one of his co-workers and honestly, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The price is moderate. I would put it in the same category as BJs. We ordered drinks, and appetizer, and two entrees and it came to $53.

The atmosphere was very calming. The building has a cabin feel to it. The inside decor is like a cabin log and some of the chandeliers had antlers on them. It was pretty dim inside which also added to the calm feeling I got.

The server was very friendly and all of the staff who came to our table were polite. It was pretty busy in there and we got our food in an ample amount of time and we were never left to feel like we were waiting to long for anything. Our waitress also came by frequently to check on us and make sure there wasn't anything we needed.

The food was tasty. For an appetizer we ordered pretzel sticks with cheese and they were so delicious. Omg I love good bread and I honestly thought the bread was quite amazing. Then I ordered fish tacos with clam chowder and Nathan ordered a burger. The clam chowder was delicious && the fish tacos were so tasty. Nathan's burger was so huge and he also said it was delicious.

Well that is my review of Claim Jumper I hope some of you go to try it out. Thanks for reading.

Ash Wednesday - Lent 2013

So I know I am not an involved Catholic but I do go to mass from time to time and I do participate in lent. Lent is a time of penance and prayer where you give up things that you can't live without from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Most people give up things that are challenging to live without (sex, sweets, etc.) while some Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays. The reason we give up tangible items is to make a sacrifice like Jesus did for us.

For me, lent is tough bc I want to sacrifice something I use daily but I don't want to make an impossible decision like the Internet ((I use it for homework)) so this year I decided to sacrifice juice and buns. The reason for juice is bc I need to drink my water which is beneficial and the reason for no buns is bc it forces me to do my hair. So what will you be sacrificing for lent????

Nathan's Company Party

So I have to admit, Nathan's company party was so much fun.  The inside of the hotel is beautiful.  The theme was Casino Royale so everyone was dressed up nice and they had casino tables all around.  there really isn't much to say besides we had fun playing in the Photo Booth and plaything 21. :) I hope that we stay together another year so that we can go together again next year :)

Fitness Goal: Week 3

So I have to admit... I only worked out 1 day this week... ((shame on me)) I know I know.. I can't even make up any excuses this week.  Well at the beginning of the week I was sick... food poisoning.. No way I could possibly workout.  Tuesday I went to the gym and worked on my shoulders.  Shoulders are my weakest.  Then I did not workout for the rest of the week.. poor me! No excuses.. 

One interesting thing this week is that I went and got my body fat percentage and I'm 26.9% body fat! 

Fitness Goal: Week 2

So week 2 was a repetition of week 1 as workout goes so there is not much to explain there.  There were two days where I wasn't able to workout because I had doctors appointments and stuff like that..  Although I wasn't able to workout, I still did a mini workout at home. 

One thing that was significant this week than the last week was my diet.  I have stuck to it and not cheated.  Each week I try to do better than the last, so this week I will try to eat more veggies than last week and more egg whites.  Well  that's about it..

Oh.. I lost 0.5 pounds this week.  

Until next time my bloggers.
