Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!

So, today was one of those odd days. We had weekend plans, were excited for them, and then basically decided that it wasn't really what we wanted to do. So we changed them. Now just hanging out with Hubby and Cousin. Which is also nice. 


I've been dealing with some pretty severe loneliness, and lately, it's been causing me to take it out on the people  I love, mainly Hubby. Which has been hard for both of us, but thankfully we've been able to have some good talks because of it. I love the relationship I have with him. We're so intune with each other, we can sometimes read each other's minds. ....Ok, maybe not that much, but we are very intune. To the point of talking without doing anything besides looking and raising an eyebrow. 


.....Heh. I actually got the relationship that Sheldon and Davy had. I always wanted that. 


But! The weekend is looking up. We get our "spending/play" money tomorrow, and I'm going shopping. I'm dying my hair tonight. A light golden brown. Specifically for dark hair colors. It'll most likely have some red in it from the red, but I'm excited.  I'm also getting my nails done at a new place tomorrow morning, as well as going shopping tomorrow. I'm hoping to find some sales, but what I really "need" to get are a couple good pairs of leggings (for work and fun), some new girly items (mine have all worn out), and.....I'm going to be looking at some jeggings.. I know, I know. I swore I would never look at those, but I saw some really cute ones at Nordstrom's and I was done for. Literally done for. They're soft and durable! 


I'm also venturing, for the first time, officially into Forever 21 to do shopping. Iv'e wandered in and out of there with friends, but never to actually shop for myself. I figure two things might happen. I'll either adore the place and refuse to go anywhere else, or I'll hate it. I'm going for the former, given I have been in there before and I really loved most of the stuff I saw. 


I also want to buy some new shoes. All (and I do mean all) of my high heels have broken. As in, full on heel SNAPPED on me at work. That's kind of a problem when I need to wear heels at work. So, time to find new ones. Though I'm thinking Target and/or Payless for those. I'm not a fan on spending 100 bucks on a pair of shoes unless they're amazing (And no, I haven't found a pair that amazing yet!). Though I am eyeing some awesome boots from Fredericks that would almost be there....but going to wait for now. 


Oh, and eating has been going well. I'm not quite at eating every three hours, but I'm definitely getting there. I've also been counting calories and noticing more, which is helping me eat better. I'm more aware of what and how much I'm putting into my body. Also, as a reader pointed out, 3500 calories equals a pound. By cutting down to 1468 or less calories a day, I'm cutting out about 500-600 calories of my diet, which means over the course of a week, losing 3500 calories or a pound a week. Pretty cool, isn't it? 


So, what I ate today: 


Oatmeal 160
Yogurt: 180
Mocha Frap Light: 160! (I am so glad I found that out!) 
Hardboiled egg:78
Dinner: 800 


Total: 1378! 


I might get a snack later....we shall see. 


ALSO! My amazing maidofhonor/bestfriend is due TOMORROW. I am soooo excited for her and her hubby! They're expecting a little son who should arrive anyday now. At least, we hope. He seems to be taking his time and enjoying it. ;) 

Eating Better

So, I am starting a new thing. I am going to count calories (*gasp!*) and eat every three hours. Why, you may ask? To lose more weight, silly! Also, it's healthier. And I've noticed a change in how I am at work, just doing it for two days. I'm more alert, more relaxed, and not starving by the time lunch or dinner rolls around, thus not gorging myself on food.


So, I'm going to do my best to post on here every day what I ate that day. And hopefully, this will work! 


A person of my height and weight, to lose weight, needs to eat about 1468 calories a day. Doable, I think, given I don't eat too much to begin with.


So today, I ate: 


Oatmeal: 160
Tea: 1
Kudos Bar: 100
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate: 300 (So sad!) 
Yogurt: 160 
Dinner: Guess around 600.
Kudos Bar: 100 


Total: 1421! 


Apparently, if I do this, I should lose a pound a week. Let's see! Maybe once I'm a bit lower I'll be brave enough to post my weight. For now, no thank you!

Glee Sectionals

I know what you're thinking. You're wondering what I'm talking about. Well, let me explain.


Last Wednesday, Glee on Facebook did a status update of basically the first 200 people to email the address they had posted would get 2 tickets to see the "Sectionals" recording. Naturally, I leaped on it, unsure of whether or not I would actually win. I thought I had a decent chance given that it had just been posted a minute or two beforehand. Well, Thursday comes and I hit up lunch rather late. Thus far, no email saying I had won. I just assumed I had missed it, like I had the last time. I took a nap over lunch and woke up a bit earlier than I needed to. I checked my phone and saw an email from an address I didn't recognize with allcaps CONFIRMATION. I opened it up and saw that yes, indeed, I had WON TICKETS. I was, needless to say, freaking out. I hurriedly texted a friend of mine to see if she could come with me.


Lots of squeeing and freaking out and rearranging schedules later, and Friday afternoon at 2:15, we were off on our way to Glendale to watch the recording of Glee Sectionals.

We got there about 3:15-3:30ish (hit not as much traffic as I'd expected) and found a gloriously close parking spot (seriously, we should not have found it!), and lined up. And proceeded to wait for 2 1/2 hours. They didn't let us into the theater until about 6:15 where we got seated up in the balcony and waited. We saw them setting everything up, we were extremely excited. And then all of a sudden, I glanced up to see Chris Colfer standing right by the railing before going down to the edge of balcony to do Q/A. He answered several questions and was very funny and nice. Then he had to run to get into costume. And from there, we saw several of the other stars, and got to hear them record the Sectionals performances!!


It was freaking amazing.


And let me tell you....Sectionals is going to be epic. And have a LOT of surprises. Which I can't tell you. The songs are wonderful, the performances gorgeous, and there are several surprises in it that are going to knock your socks off.


We were there until 11:00pm. We didn't even notice the time when we got in there. We didn't get home until about midnight where I passed out rather quickly after gushing to my hubby who doesn't watch so it was ok.


The episode won't air until December 7th, but OH MY GOODNESS!! I still can't believe I was there and got to see it! So keep an eye out! You might see me up in the balcony!


And by the way,


I totally have the program to prove it too!

P.s. No, you can't see it. That's cheating!


But..... *squee*
