The Evolving Slug

My name is Ashley.I am twenty-five. My health is something I have become quite focused on in the last year and it pretty much started with my Dr. Oz obsession. July 2015 I decided to give up meat for good, after 7 months of a twice a week limit I had given myself.Everyday I try to learn something new and it just gives me more justification that what I'm doing is right. This new life I have stepped into keeps me so upbeat, energetic and I just feel pure. Since I was young I was always a bit chubby. I grew up on ramen noodles and fast food. My mother hated cooking and grocery shopping. Having fruit as a kid was such a treat, and now I can't go without it. My ultimate goal is to be healthy and have an active lifestyle.I have wanted to lose weight for a while but I never seemed to have the extra energy to push through and workout. Now I make much more of an effort, Sweets are my weakness. But hey, peace, love & cannolis, Right? I am 25 years old, and 5ft 4 in. Restarted on 7.28.15 Starting Weight: 163lbs Current Weight: 140.6 lbs Goal Weight 1: 145lbs

I haven’t received my health insurance info in the mail yet, so I decided to call Florid Blue to get my info, so that I could get my blood work done for the PHA discount.

HR never sent them my information. Which if they do it late I will lose that PHA discount and have to pay more than i can afford for insurance.  Getting it with the pha is still a stretch. 

WHY IS BEALLS OUTLET DOING THIS TO ME?  UGH.

Dairy is a dirty business. There is no such thing as a “laughing cow”, dairy cows are not “happy”, they do not live in sunny green meadows, nor do they stroll casually along beaches at sunset, nor work in factories cheerfully packing up butter “made by cows”. These television adverts are grossly deceptive and depict scenes far from the ugly truth. Cows only produce milk because they’ve had a baby. Their milk is supposed to be for their calves, but in the dairy industry calves are considered ‘unwanted by-products’.. When we drink milk we condemn an innocent calf to death and his mother to a life of slavery. The abuse and suffering that we inflict upon dairy cows is nothing short of appalling. The only reason a cow produces milk is to feed her calf… yet within hours of her giving birth her baby is taken away, leaving both the mother and her youngster desperate with grief and confusion… and all so that we can take the milk for ourselves. And the babies? Terrified, orphaned and alone, they face confinement and death to make veal, or a short, brutal life of slavery like their mother. Dairy cows who in nature would live beyond 25 years are shipped to the slaughterhouse, tired out and totally spent, emotionally and physically, at the age of four or five. By living vegan we are rejecting this cruel practice and saying “Not in my name!” “The very saddest sound in all my memory was burned into my awareness at age five on my uncle’s dairy farm in Wisconsin. A cow had given birth to a beautiful male calf. The mother was allowed to nurse her calf but for a single night. On the second day after birth, my uncle took the calf from the mother and placed him in the veal pen in the barn - only ten yards away, in plain view of the mother. The mother cow could see her infant, smell him, hear him, but could not touch him, comfort him, or nurse him. The heartrending bellows that she poured forth - minute after minute, hour after hour, for five long days - were excruciating to listen to. They are the most poignant and painful auditory memories I carry in my brain.” ~Dr. Michael Klaper

the whole “live and let live” argument carnists use always cracks me up because they do the exact opposite, they live and don’t let live

i love Legally Blonde so much. all of the women are so supportive of each other im??

when Elle was supposed to get engaged, none of the girls were jealous, they were genuinely happy for her n helped her get ready for the big dinner

when her bf broke up with her they were supportive

when Elle says she wants to go to harvard the counselor lady is like but ur major is fashion, do u have any backup plan? n elle is like nope im going to harvard n the lady is like okay then here’s what u gotta do.

her friends didnt get why she wanted to go to law school but supported her anyway, and helped her study

when she got 179 on her exam (more than her goal), they treated her like a queen

and that’s only in the first 18 minutes of the movie

Legally Blonde is a “girl power” movie with killer inspirational and positive attitude disguised as a stereotypical blonde movie.
