A major reason that I stopped this site for a year and a half was me trying to lose weight. I gained a lot of lbs and have been trying to get them off. I started my weight loss in January at 198 lbs. and am now down to 169.5 (I hit a really large plateau for about 3 months). I still need to lose at least 30 pounds to be where I want to be, but I’m working really hard. This blog, I daresay, may become a weight loss blog because that is my primary focus right now; well that and college.

I went to New Jersey to stay with family friends for the weekend. It was really fun to see everyone; but while I was there I got food poisoning. I’ve never had food poisoning before and after this I will never forget it. I spent hours on the bathroom floor in agony and am really hesitant about eating clams ever again. Besides that, it was a really fun experience and I liked going to the beach. I’m thinking about calling my friend and going to hang out, but she’s always really busy, so we’ll see what happens.

I got back from Turkey on Thursday and I have lounging ever since. The country of Turkey was amazing and I will have pictures up soon. I took a hot air balloon ride with my mom and it was a fabulous experience.
I also talked to my college roommate Leanna. She seems really nice and is from New York state. Coincidentally, she is a band person and plays clarinet and likes Harry Potter. I can’t wait to go college dorm room shopping. She’s bringing the mini fridge and the tv and I am bringing the carpet and the lighting.
I continue on my mission to lose weight. I have lost 25 pounds since January, but for a few months I have been in a rut. I must rededicate myself and continue making progress.

I am going to the country of Turkey on Tuesday and I will be there for sixteen days. I’ll try to log on and post pictures, my reflections, etc while I’m there, but it depends on whether I can get to the internet. Wish me a fun time!

This weekend I have 2 graduation parties to go to. Today at 4 p.m. I have to go to my neighbor’s party, and its outside. Why is that such a big issue? Well, the fact that the entire east coast of the United States is in a heat wave could put a damper on things. I would go swimming in their pool, except I have my period, which reared its head this morning. YAY!
Tomorrow I will go to a family friend’s party on the other side of town. That should be fun, except she goes to a different school and it always gets awkward when you don’t know anyone.

I didn’t really do much today; it was my first day of summer, because I was exempt from all my finals at school. Slept till about 11:00 A.M.; took the dog for a walk and the pretty much chilled. It was good.

I am testing the blog to check all my settings.
