Honesty...

I wasn't able to write this past weekend because I wasn't near any Internet. Today's blog is going to be a little different because I hear my last blog was offensive or was not okay for me to say. I just want everyone to know right now that what I say is not meant to be offensive in any way towards anybody. And as for it not being okay for me to say, it was because I didn't say anything mean or hurtful towards anyone and I especially don't use anyone's name. Writing is my dream and passion and if I'm not going to do it as a career, I'm going to use this blog to share stories with the world as I please.

I really like the saying: "honesty is the best policy" because it's true. It may hurt, but at least it's the truth.

The image I attached is to show everyone that before reading my blogs, you have 2 options. One option is to proceed after reading the fine print and option two is yo cancel and go about your day. If you wish to proceed without reading the print, that was your choice. If you continue after reading from beginning to end, then you know what you're doing. I know everyone knows this, but I feel like I still have to say it because I don't like drama or problems.

Summary...

Hello, how is everyone doing today? Well, I'm going to start off by apologizing because my last blog was in June. There are no excuses for not doing what I said I was going to do, so I'm just going to explain what I've been doing and just hope that that's enough to keep readers. I haven't been busy enough to not post once a day like I said I would do, but life has gotten in the way and I've let it. I have still been helping my Mother out by watching my niece, but I've also been lazy and not just with posting on my blog for the readers. Well, all that's going to change starting today. One or more blogs a day no matter what.

My youngest niece, AJ, had a birthday in July and we celebrated it at my Mother's house. We had it on a Friday, so I wasn't there the whole time, but I was glad to see her on her birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" and had cake and ice cream, then I left. I felt so bad because I wasn't able to get her a birthday present, but I know it didn't make her sad because being able to see her even just for a day is plenty. The point of this is to show that you really don't need money to give someone a gift, just your love. And if that's not enough for them, then that's a disappointment, but nothing we can do about that.

Back in August on the 14th, my boyfriend took me out to sushi for our one year anniversary. Even though we only celebrated it by going out, it was plenty for me because we have our love for one another. He also did "make up for it" by buying me something that was $40 last month. He wasn't planning on getting me anything, which was fine with me, but weeks ago, I kept telling him that I wanted this particular item and when he had the money, he got it for me. He then said to me that that could be my gift and I just smiled. I'm not trying to be all "mushy gushy" but I love him so much for just being himself and doing the little things he does and says.

My other niece, AJ's sister, had a birthday in September. Heather, AJ, Mother, Grandmother, Danny, and my Mother-in-law Kammy were there. To be honest though, I wasn't 100% certain my Mother-in-law was going to show up because she hadn't met my family yet. I'm glad she did show up because my niece was very excited to see her and she was excited to meet everyone too. Everyone had a blast and I'm glad everyone did. Kammy and I stayed from 3 to 7 and then we left and went back to her house. Louis showed up as we were leaving which made my niece extremely happy because she loves Louis. It ended up being a really long day for everyone, but it was well worth it.

Halloween was approaching quickly. I had a bored Halloween though because my boyfriend doesn't like doing anything for it and no trick-or-treaters came either because they live in a big complex. "dressed up" by painting my nails orange and black, and wearing my black dress with my black shoes. Maybe it wasn't a costume or I didn't go out and have fun, but I still had my own fun at the house with my Mother-in-law. Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays.

Today is now November 12 and I'm loving my life more and more everyday. I've lost a total of 25 pounds since my very first blog and I'm planning on losing more weight. I've been walking a little bit everyday and just eating better than I did. Remember when I was posting about the 21 day free junk food? Well, I was able to follow that and now I don't eat any junk food. I'll treat myself once in a while, but a lot of the time, chocolate or anything sweet just doesn't sound good to me anymore like it used to. Like I've said before, if you set your mind to it, then you CAN do it.

Camping Trip...

I'm going on a second camping trip with my boyfriend and his family. The first time we went, was to Lake Jennings which was very fun and I enjoyed myself. It was my boyfriend Tim, myself, his mom Kammy, his step-dad Duane, his sister Leah, and her boyfriend at the time, Ryan whose been my boyfriend's best friend since high school. We were all at the campsite for a little less than a week. This time, it'll be Kammy, Duane, their niece Erika, their nephew Joe Joe, and Kammy's mom, Debbie. They're going to the La Jolla Indian Reservations. Tim and I are going to help out at the house only because he doesn't want to miss out on work, but we might stop by and stay for the weekend; his sister Leah doesn't want to go at all because her ride or die best friend, Sam is here for a month visiting, so she wants to spend time with her and she also doesn't want to miss out on any work either. Anyways, it'll be really fun because there are more things to do at this campsite. More tomorrow; and remember, any suggestions on any topic and I'll talk about it.

Been a Little

I know, I know, worst blogger ever. It's been exactly a month today (5/28) that I haven't written anything and I apologize. It's been so chaotic these past weeks; straining my ankle, going to my best friends wedding, getting stressed out, I just didn't think about the blog. I'm going to start writing down topics everyday so that way I already know what to talk about the next day and so on. Keep following all my blogs and tell EVERYONE. I will be writing every other day at least, hopefully everyday. I will also make an exception for anyone who wants me to personally write a specific topic, if it's within reason and is appropriate. That's all for tonight, I will most likely post another one tomorrow,  but I will for sure be starting to post one at least every other day starting June 1st.

Something a Little Different

So, my boyfriend and I are going to be looking for our first place to live. But first, I need to find a job out here in El Cajon. This is just one of the very few blogs I'm making like this. Anyways, my boyfriend already has his job and everything saved, now it's my turn so that way  we can hopefully get our first place by the end of this year. The only reason why I'm saying all this is because it's a life experience that we all have to come across at least once in our lives. Putting all this aside, stay positive in life and keep eating healthy!

Last Day (4/21)

My last day of doing the "No Junk Food Chellenge" for 21 days ended yesterday and I feel amazing! I'm going to be starting something similar to it, but the only difference is that I will be doing shakeology. My mom and I are going to be doing it together and we're ordering it from my Cousin Carissa. She just became a Coach at Team Beachbody Coaches. You do this for 21 days as well. If you want more info on this, then please feel free to contact me and I will give you more information. If you are serious, then I suggest that if you're goiing to do this, then take a before and after picture; and pictures in between. So that way you can see how much you've progressed. I know that no one likes to take any kiind of picture when you don't like how you look beffore you get down to your desired weight. But, the beauty of taking a before picture is that once you take an after picture and keep it up, then you'll say to yourself "Wow, that was me before I lost this weight??", you won't care about taking selfies or being in any picture and you'll want to go to the beach, wear your swimsuit, and wear smaller clothes once you lose the weight.
