So. Much.

The week got away from me again but I kind of have an excuse? I went to Ilysa’s wedding last Sunday which messed up my Monday/Tuesday schedule. Then I got to spend the night over at my Big’s house with her and her sister. Why you ask?

GOOFY’S MYSTERY TOUR!! For those who don’t know, this is a cast activity where 300-ish teams of four people who are bungee corded together run around to solve Disney themed puzzles and answer Disney trivia. 

It wasn’t on Wednesday, it was on Thursday. But Wednesday night we prepped until 1am. And in event day, we were out until1am in 30 degree weather . We did fairly well at the completion in my opinion. 9/12 puzzles plus the final mystery. We had some really hard puzzles to do and some easy ones. It was good time. We came up with the final puzzle as a group pretty much and it was the first time we have ever gotten the final mystery so that was great. 

Friday came and I went to work sooooo tired. But it was fine. Saturday I went to work in order to learn how to do package pickup for Festivals. Then drove to Catherine’s for chili potatoes and wedding makeup test! 

I didn’t do my best at her makeup so I definitely need to practice.  But we figured out what look she wants and what colors. 

Today we tried to go to an outdoor expo thing which turned out to be like 15 tents set up outside trying to get you to use their services. The day was saved with a trip to Ulta in order to find a foundation for her big day! A wonderful MUA at Ulta named Melvin helped us out and ended up doing a demo of her entire face makeup for free using MAC and Tarte products. It looked really good and he gave us a sample of the foundation!! Go Melvin! 

It has been busy, no doubt about that.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Chocolate Addiction

Today the realization of how bad my chocolate problem is getting hit me. I packed a chocolate tear to split between both meals at work. I ate lunch and then sat here for at least 15 minutes before making the mental decision to go stare st the vending machine. Really that choice was to go get something sweet, something chocolaty and delicious. I devoured it in less than two minutes.  My addiction to chocolate (realistically sugary caffeine) has been getting steady worse since 2015. In these last two month, when I need to be working my hardest to meet my goals I have not been doing well fighting agaisnt chocolate. And I am not even adopted the mindset of “you get none!” I give myself the false security of “moderation.” Maybe I need to try none. Get some of the sugar or if the system. Withdraw, who knows!! But this makes me the tiniest bit sad that I can’t say no to myself.
