Top: Virus Shawl using Red Heart Unforgettable in Sunset Bottom: My first attempt at crocheting over a year ago It's amazing how much I've improved in just over a year. I couldn't make straight edges and now I can make shawls. #crochet #virusshawl #redheart #redheartunforgettable #sunset #shawl #crocheting #crochetingisfun

Ugh. It's pretty pathetic that in 8 full months, I've only gone to the gym a couple dozen times. After MANY conversations with my mom about bitching and whining over my weight, I think I'm ready to make the change.

Got a nice little haul at @ulta the other day. Spent $29 and saved $42. Picked up an eyeshadow palette, got a free eyeshadow from @urbandecay along with a free hairspray from Sexy Hair. I was also in need of makeup brushes so I bought those too.

I've been feeling really good about myself lately. I don't know if it has to do with my lifestyle change aka d.i.e.t. and exercise. I just know that when I post updates about my slim-down selfies, the amount of support I receive really improves my motivation. Not gonna lie, I still slack. I ate a cheesesteak sub and fries for lunch. I'm not going to the gym. In fact, I'm looking forward to trying to sneak in a 45 min nap before Jesse gets home. Regardless of the laziness that's still inside of me I want to go out a do a 5K. It just doesn't make sense. I don't want to go to the gym but I want to take a jog for 3+ miles?! I'm more confused than a squirrel trying to cross a busy sfreet. Whatever. These are just random thoughts floating through my head. You may read it and go, "WTF? Is this chick on drugs?" or you may agree and say to yourself, "yup, story of my life". Dara. Out.
