Non-Scale Victories and Upcoming News (Day 616)

Hi all!

Happy Thursday! How are all of you doing today? Can you believe it's Thursday already? This week is flying by. I'm going to try to keep this post short today because I have so much to get done... 2 papers to write, finish up learning activities for Biology, write 2 getting to know you discussion posts, start a final paper, get cleaning done because we have a showing of our house tomorrow night, and finish getting ready for our garage sale tomorrow night and Saturday morning. Oh and I'll be posting about my amazing news later today or tomorrow... maybe a vlog :).

I'm so excited for next weekend, my best friend is coming home for a few days and on Saturday I have my Darren Criss concert! He started his tour last night in San Francisco and I've watched many videos from it which has made me even more excited for the concert. It's so cool watching the videos because playing at the Fillmore has been a dream of his forever. He was born in San Francisco, so I was so excited for him being able to live out one of his dreams. Seeing him live will be a dream come true for me and it's only 9 days away! :)

Thursday's are an amazing day because I get to link up with Katie, Lex, and Ashlee for NSV's Thursday! :) Make sure to go check these lovely ladies out and don't forget to link up with us and share your NSV's of the week. So without further ado, here are my NSV's. 

1. I jogged outside this morning

2. My nutrition has been right on key this week

3. I've been exercising regularly... walking/jogging intervals and workout videos

4. I have other good news that I cannot wait to share later! :)

Time to cut this short and get going on all my homework. I cannot wait to share my news with you all very soon! Have a wonderful day! So until next time!

Crazy News (Day 567)

Hi all!

Happy Thursday! How is everyone doing today? Sorry this post is coming so late, but it's been a busy day. I'm feeling so guilty about being such a bad blogger, I've barely been posting lately and not commenting on as many blogs. It's been crazy though, I just feel like when I'm here I cannot post as much because I shouldn't be on my computer as much while I'm here.

This afternoon I officially feel like I'm ready to go home. Currently, I feel like I'm not as wanted here as I was before. But I can't go home until Ashley and John buy my plane ticket home. I don't really know anymore... it's been tough while being here. Seeing them together is really hard for me, especially at night. We've sat around and watched Disney movies in the afternoon/evening (yes, we're 90's kids) and it's hard sitting there alone while Ashley and John and sitting like a couple would. I think the hardest part for me is that Abid and I want to be together more than anything else and we want to do those types of things together. *Sigh* We'll be together soon enough, but it's hard to see other couples together doing the things that Abid and I want to do.

Oh and I have a ton of news! My mom called me yesterday and told me so many things. I leave for a few weeks and craziness happens.

1. We have a "For Sale" sign in front of our house!?!

This is craziest for me, I cannot believe that my parents are trying to sell the house. Someone is coming by later this week to see it. I've lived in this house since I was 7 (almost 8), I have so many memories here. But oh well, I should be moving sometime next year. So it is what it is. 

2. Our dog has a new owner now.

My mom has been wanting to get rid of our dog for a long time (my brother wanted her when we were little), our dog is getting older and we just don't have the time and patience to really take care of her the way that she needs to. The other day my grandfather took her to the vet and someone wanted her, so my parents let them take her. So when I get home, I won't have a dog anymore.

3. My mom is not retiring (she was toying with the idea)

On Monday my mom decided to stay at work for probably 5 more years. This year has been tough for her at work, she's not enjoying it anymore (she's a teacher). And her school district was offering some teacher's early retirement but she decided against it. Thank God because I think it would be crazy for my mom to not be working. 

4. My grandfather broke his hip and is now in the hospital

This is rather sad for me, my grandfather is getting older (in his mid-70s) and his health has been gradually going down hill for the past years. He'll be staying in an Assisted Living facility while rehabbing his hip. As much as it will drive him crazy, it will be good for him. My grandfather is a very stubborn man and thinks that he can still do anything and everything he sets his mind to. So it will be good that he has people taking care of him, other than my grandmother. 

So like I said, I have had crazy news this week. It's just been crazy in general. My eating has been off key and I have no idea where my weight is at. I'm excited to step on the scale when I get home. But it's about dinner time, so I need to head out. So until  next time.
