this thing called OBESITY

so while reading the book Eat to Live, i found out that i am medically obese. well thats one thing i thought i would never hear myself say, but according to the book its true. so here is what i am going to do about it!! i am going to do the weight loss challenge in Eat to Live, so that when my older brother Brandon steps of the plane dramatically reentering our lives i will be a slender but bo-dacisously so, 125 LBS....which means i technically have to lose about 30 pounds.....thats is not an unreal goal! i feel and i know that i can doit, i just have to put my whole head into it! so starting tomorrow August 31 i am going vegan. thats righ tyou heard it! vegan!!! chances are i will have a scrambled egg or some boiled chicken in my salad occasionally, but i am going to be mostly vegan! no dairy products whatsoever!!! i can do it! forget about the fact that i work in a bakery or that i love dairy! cuz i would love more being 125 pounds. along with this new vegan diet i am going to have a strict excersise program, where i have to do at least 30 minutes of strenuous excersise every day (excluding sunday of course) whether it be yoga or a run through the streets of provo i will succeed!! you will see! plus the fact that this is a competiton between most of the members of my family, oh i will win the challenge though! no worries!! there is a before picture of me here and when i have dropped my excess 30 lbs off the side of a cliff you will see an after picture!!! HOT BODY HERE I COME!!!

trippin....on love for ohio...part 1~

ok so here it is...the journey as some would call it!! day one of the big road trip to OHIO... can 'you tell that i was a happy girl! no work, no responsibility, no worries for 7 whole days!! hot dog i was ridin high...high on life that is!!!so we left provo at 3:30am sunday the 1st day of august. little did i know that this would be the first day of the rest of my life....bahah oh what a great day. a day that will forever live in my memory! not only was this my longest trip ever experienced in a car, with no a/c , but it just was proof that i do what i want when i want. take that peeps that hate!! so like i said, NO A/C...for 28 hours int he car we relied heavily on the wind that rushed through the windows as we raced down the highway at high speeds...too bad that come 12 noon this wind became more like a soggy breath of stale air...thanks alot humidity...i will forever hate you!! oh well the drive was quite enjoyable...kitara...that gorgeous and mazing driver lady that i know from some place called rexburg...was such a trooper...she drove most of the way and didnt complain one little bit...even when i took my pants off...she just smiled and kept her eyes on the road...they didnt wander...bahah...oh life.!! anyway we had some in depth discussions on the importance of marriage and all that it entails...we also discussed the joys of life...a/c, hot boys, food. the thing that bothered me sooooo much though was that i wanted to catch every state sign that we saw....but i never got one...after crossing through 6 states i only got the corner of the sign for Missouri...and i was soo mad that i just gave up and threw my camera into my bag. talk about a friend letting you down...thanks alot camera. upon arrival at Jamie Junes house in Independence MO, where we spent the night, i realized that missouri is dang gorgeous with all that green and stuff, but dang girl it was soooo hot there. over 70% humidity at night and during the day even worse and hotter even....so gross...thank goodness i will never live there....well until the second coming...but we wont go into that right now. tat is a blog topic for another time. anyway when i saw jamies gorgeous face peering through her living room window and her gorgeous Idaho girl figure running towards me in the pale moon light i began to scream and didnt stop until the hug sesh was over.....and it lasted quite a while. cuz jamie and i hugged then jamie hugged kitara then we all hugged eachother and the hwole hile we were all screaming....baha im sure the neighbors hated us. subject change for 2 seconds....the grossest thing ever...succadas....a nasty bug that inhabits much of the central states that is so loud and creepy that i could barely walk out side..i was that creeped out....anyway jamie was gorgeous and i had not seen her in forever...since before christmas...way too long and kitara was missin her too so the reuinion was something to be recorded into the logs of our history together as roomies and pretty much sisters!! we were given a quick tour of the sheppard residence then we proceeded in giving eachother our birthday presents...oh the joy that i had when jamie opened the present that i gave her. a scrapbook that i made with my own hands...a scrapbook of our lives together up t o this point in our lives. i was given a great pair of earings as well as a sweet scarf and kitara was given a sweet set of nail polishes in exquisite colors and shades. there is a pic of it up there somewhere. amazing is it not....ok so this is part on of tript o ohio...i will comesnce with part 2 tomorrow when ihave regained my strength....oh the joy that comes from letting it all out in blogging!!!
