Another semi slacker day

Today I ate well, had a banana, an orange, lots of water, and a yummy calzone with turkey breast, roma tomatos, pesto, basil, and swiss cheese. Dinner was bad though, had a hamburger and a redbull :o(
I did get a bit of exercise today walking around Ashland and Lithia Park but that was about it.

Tomorrow morning I have plans to go play tennis with a new girlfriend and tonight I am going to try and patch up the tire on my bike so I can ride tomorrow. I gotta get back on track!

Making Musubi

Sunday was kinda fun. Crystal and I slept in to 11:00am (we stayed up waaay to late) and she made an awesome ceasar salad for breakfast and I had some guava juice too. She also decided to make some Musubi (Im sure i must have the wrong spelling) and teach me how to do it. Crystal is hawaiian and is actually crazy enough to eat Spam and her all time favorite food is spam and sticky rice rolled up in seaweed, like sushi. So she made a batch and then taught me how so I can serve it at her funeral some day. It was fun :) I would love to get a sushi roller and start making my own (maybe not with Spam though) but I thought it would be really yummy to have pineapple, raisins, and diced chicken rolled up in rice and seaweed or some mongolian beef and broccoli... yum yum, there are lots of things we could make :)

After brunch we edited some of the photos from the shoot we did and made a really cute photo book for her hunny and then did some shopping for him too. All in all it was a pretty lazy day but fun and good. I have to admit though, I was realllly bad and we had McDonalds for lunch... I got a hamburger, fries, and coke and I felt awful after eating it (physically) eeww too much bad stuff.

After that I went to my boyfriends house to hang out and had some overly ripe cantaloupe (eeew) and water and called it a night. And it was a good night. :)

Fun at the beach!

This photo on the above left is Jeremys nicely edited pervert version. In case you cant read the red lettering it says " See I told you you look good in these pics, you ever gave the beach a stiffy" and it has a red arrow pointing at the driftwood on the right. Thanks Jeremy. :oP


**************************************************
Crystal and I went to Brookings for her nephews 3rd birthday. There was a huge a party but I dont think the kid really cared much. I ended up not getting much of a work out in the morning because I was busy getting ready for our trip but did get a work out in the evening. I took Crystal to the beach at sunset and did a fantastic photo shoot of her! So far, I think its one of my best shoots :o) She also took a couple of photos of me so I figured I would share one of them. We only had about 15 minutes of good light before the sun went down and so I was running around on the beach like crazy with Crystal posing her and whatnot and I sure did get a work out with that! She was absoloutely fantastic though and was a great sport about it and didnt mind me telling her what to do so quickly and crazily. She was awesome!

On the way to CA we got stopped at the fruit/border patrol and we thought we would have some fun with them and so we told them we didnt have fruit (but really we had bananas, tomatos and a pineapple) but then found it funny to whip a U-turn after we pulled out and go back around and offer them our banana. We pull back up and the guy says "Did you girls get lost?" and we said "Sorry we fibbed, we have a banana to give you" and they guy laughed at us and said "aww you girls dont have to be so honest, bananas are allowed!"

A state employee at the border actually told us we didnt have to be so honest. word for word.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

so then we continue on to Crystals familys house... all I have to say is... wow... my family is almost normal compared to them. (Sorry Crystal! Love ya! no one reads this crap anyways) and after I really pissed off her mom we left and went to the beach with her sister (who is awesome) and took some great photos of crystal. After that we headed back home (opted not to stay the night, thought it would be safer and we wanted to make sure we woke up alive). For the most part we had an awesome time and had lots of fun but I did eat cake and chips and salsa and fruit punch and some veggis and burritos for dinner so it wasnt the healthiest day ever but Ill make up for that tomorrow :)

Going to the coast!

Today my friend and I are going to the coast. I am not feel good though but will try to make the best of it and have a good day. I want to focus more on my photography and have been hounding my girlfriend for such a long time to let me photograph her and I think she is finally going to give in today. I want to take her to the beach at sunset and do some swimsuit photos. Lets see if she lets me! She is so beautiful and photogenic that I know she will look fantastic. Im not sure if I will work out today, I have a terrible cough and an achy back. My sister was sick recently and Im afraid I might have caught her bug. Time for some Roibos tea!

Day five!

Day 5 of my trek to get back in shape and Im feeling good about it so far. I wanted to play tennis today but it is rainy and my tennis partner opted not to play (slipping around on the court isn't fun) but thats ok! I think I am gonna head to the park anyways and bounce tennis balls off the backboard to get a bit of a work out. Im thrilled about today overcast rainy weather. Its been so darn hot lately that it makes me not want to go outside and workout but today is really cool, almost chilly so I am gonna go for a walk in a bit I think. I was pretty excited yesterday because my sister deicded to give the wii fit a try and played it for 45 minutes. I know the wii fit isn't the greatest way to get into shape but it does get my heart rate up and I do work up a sweat. I think its a nice alternative for when you dont feel like working out outside because its too darn hot.

For breakfast I had 2 eggs and two pieces of toast (oatmeal got boring) and a large glass of water. I am going to Brookings with Crystal tomorrow and will be coming back Sunday so I have to find a way to incoorporate my workout into that trip too so I don't slack off. Well, I just finished up housework (it never ends) so I guess Ill go workout now. Ill write more later!

Its My Birthday!

Happy Birthday To Me! Ok Im old now. I'm officially celebrating my 21st birthday for the 7th time. I started out good (so far!) and drank a lot of water to help speed my recovery of last night. I had an english muffin for breakfast, a fried egg, and spoiled myself with a bowl of fruitloops (that didnt even taste good. Then I went and played tennis in the hot sun with a new friend and that was fun! I worked up quite a sweat so then I went home and jumped in the shower. ahhhh! and then I had a small piece of Tinas cheeseburger pie. Tonight Im going to dinner with a friend and I will most likely have sushi and water. I love sushi. Sushi makes me happy.
*********************************************
My birthday night was fun. We went and had sushi and then I had one glass of wine and 2 mixed drinks but thats it for drinking. I am determined to stop drinking (except for an occasional glass of wine) but made an exception for my birthday. I got to hang out with my oldest sister for awhile which was kind of difficult because we usually end up fighting but it turned out ok. Oh and Tina got me a nice birthday cake but I only had a few bites :) so I think I did well for the most part.

Day Three

Ok so day three isnt as good as the other days.... I didnt get my workout done this morning because I had to go move furniture out of my old house to my new one. I guess that kind of counts... but not really. Ill be sure to go for a walk in a bit. I just gotta let lunch settle.

For breakfast I had oatmeal and water, lunch was water and soup and salad, and for a snack I was really bad and had a glass of soda. It didnt even taste good. Ill be sure to have a nice healthy dinner and work out here in a little bit.

Tonight is the Batte Of The Bands in Medford so Sandi and I are going to go hang out there and she got the idea that we could also do a birthday celebration for me while there so she invited a few friends. I havent touched a drop of alcohol for a week now and was determined to quit alcohol along with getting back into shape but I know that my friends will insist on buying me drinks for my birthday so I guess I can make an exception for today but just keep it in serious moderation. (Dont worry mom, Im not driving) I guess its ok for a birthday reason :) I gotta be awake and alert tomorrow morning anyways because Im going to play tennis with a new friend and I feel bad that I already let her down today because I didnt have a racket and she didnt have an extra but I got 2 old ones today. They are lame but theyre rackets. Mine is in my storage shed in Merlin so I need to go and get that soon.

Oh I also went to the DMV and got my license renewed today. 39 bucks! at least its out of the way now though.
_______________________________________________________
Pre-birthday night: I was bad and good. I declined onion rings, fries, hamburger, candy, and free energy drinks that were offered to me, however I did accept a few birthday drinks. I had a blast with my friends at the battle of the bands (Thanks guys!) its so good to get all the girls together that I love! We went the Shenanigans for that and then some one had the bright idea to go to the strip club (Duchesne!) so we went there and it was pretty lame and Sandi and I lost interest very quickly so we left and we were really hungry so we went to taco bell and I ate two tacos. Tomorrow I need to work out extra hard!

Day Two!

Today I have done alright. I worked out for 35 minutes on the Wii Fit (my wii fit age was 36) and went to go take a bike ride for an hour but when I grabbed my bike I realized I had a flat tire because no matter where I ride, on pavement or off, I get those damn goatheads stuck in my tires! it really irritates me. So I have to go buy a new bike tube and install it so I can get in some more good cardio. I got a hairline fracture in my left ankle last May and it still hurts me a lot so it makes it very painful to do the treadmill or jogging so I found the bike is a great way to get low-impact cardio.

For breakfast I had a banana, water, snack was low fat string cheese and slices of turkey breast, green tea, and I was slightly bad and had chips and salsa with a tablespoon of guacamole. Lunch was a ham sandwhich. Dinner will be chicken breasts and pasta salad. Tina has been marinading them in a Jack Daniels Lemon Pepper marinade... yuuuuumy!

Day one :o)

Today I have done well. I drank lots of water, some apple juice, had oatmeal for breakfast, low fat string cheese and peanuts for a snack, salad for lunch, and now Tina is making meatloaf for dinner (I'll go easy on it!).

I worked out using the Wii fit for 45 minutes (my Wii Fit age is 28 based on my scores for today) and set up a goal to lose 3lbs a per two weeks which is the recomended weight loss schedule for the Wii Fit but seems silly-ish to me since our bodies can fluctuate 1-2lbs a day depending on how much food we eat and stuff.

I put an ad on Craigslist last night for a fitness partner and was contacted by a woman close to my age that is interested in playing tennis with me so I am excited to meet her!

I did good because I turned down a friend offering to buy me a drink while I had my salad at the pub and also turned down myt sister when she went to Dutch Bros and offered to buy me a strawberry redbull (my vice).

I spent most of my day cleaning house and planned to go job hunting but as I was leaving the house realized that my resume had a stupid typo so I will print it up again tomorrow hopefully. So then I decided to go to the DMV to renew my license and as I walked into the DMV I realized I was carrying my US Cellular bill instead of my birth certificate (DUH!) so I didnt get that done either. Tina gave me money to take her car to the car wash to get it all spiffied up and I figured I could use the exercise so I went ahead and washed it myself by hand. Looks much better than going through one of those automated carwashes that dont scrub anything.

Well I guess its been a good start on my goal :o)

All about ME!

Hello! I'm Mistydawn, also known as Erfellie, Erf, Smurf, or Smurfellie. I am 27 years old (for now!) and love to play hard and have lots of fun. This last year of my life has been tough (Physically) because I moved to Wyoming - one of the coldest places on earth - and because it was too damn cold outside and I had no friends, my lazy unmotivated ass put on a lot of weight and discontinued the healthy lifestyle I was accustomed to living. My family has a strong history of diabetes and my worst fear is to end up with it. Ive seen what it does to people and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I have recently moved back to Oregon but am having a difficult time getting back into a healthy lifestyle because I no longer live with my best friend and partner in crime, Sandi. She was the "get your ass outside and work it off Kick In The Pants" awesome motivator of my life. So now, I am in need of a new style of motivation and decided to give this a try! If my family and friends are reading this and giving me a cyber push to stay motivated and get fit then I think that will help me out a lot! Thanks to everyone for all of your past, present, and future support in my endeavor to beat diabetes like the dirty whore it is!!!!!
