Back to Black

26Jun07

I’ve lost four pounds since I’ve started my diet! Oh I’m so happy. I know that’s a small amount, but after looking at 250 or 260 for the past three or so years, it’s so wonderful to see a different number. At work a friend, Tahesha, invited me to go to the gym with her. But Billy’s all skeptical about me getting a membership. He feels it’s a waste of money, I wish I could convince him otherwise but his skull is too thick. I plan to go with her one day, anyways. Just to see what the gym is like. She also said it has a sauna, which is pretty cool.

Speaking of gym stuff, I saw a mini stairmaster at Meijer’s(grocery store, a bit like Wal Mart for those who don’t have them) for just $50! I want it so bad. It would be so perfect. I was complaining to Billy the other day I need more cardio then just walking. I tried brisk sit ups for five minutes straight, but my stomach started hurting from doing that. I know with a stairmaster I wont hurt myself, and I’ll burn more calories. I think I’m going to get it next paycheck or two. No matter what Billy says.

Oh! I forgot to mention, I will be starting school this fall! I’m excited. I’m read to get my bachelors in Fine Arts and get started on my career, whatever it may be. I’m starting it out at a community college, getting an Associate in Arts. And the community college is in walking distance for me so before school I can exercise, shower, and then walk there for extra cardio. It’s really funny how excited I am to start. I remember when I attempted a community college a few years ago I was so dreading it. Now I’m ready, and I really feel it. I want this, and I know this is right. July 9th is when I go in for orientation. I can’t wait. Plus, my mother even said that she’s willing to help me. I just have to talk with a financial advisor to see my options of paying for school. I’m hoping everything works out.

I just got Amy Winehouse’s new album, Back to Black, and I must say if you love jazzy/bluesy music by women then you will love Amy Winehouse! I can never get enough of music like her’s. You can also listen to her album on her website, http://www.amywinehouse.co.uk . Lovely music. I love the songs Rehab and Back to Black.

Well, it’s time I get ready for work. Later!
