Hi, y'all. This post is about to be very short because it's Memorial Day weekend, and I am trying to get as much relaxation and family time in as possible.  Yesterday, my sister and I went shopping with our cousin, and then my sister and I went to Noodles & Company. Today, my dad, sister, and I are going to head over my uncle's house to chill out with my dad's side of the family. Tomorrow, I am going to be walking in the Memorial Parade in Dearborn {I'll be representing Dearborn Animal Shelter.}, and then my mum, sister, and I are going to head over to my Granny's house for a family barbecue. Exciting, eh!

I lost weight, y'all! Last Thursday was the first day that I got weighed in about a year. I hadn't thought it about it then, but I did lose weight. Then on this past Thursday, I went to the doctor again for my physical {The first appointment was for a prospective ear infection.}, and I lost another pound. Ho-ho-holy crap. This makes me motivated {somewhat} again. 

Tune: Goodbye by Chris Young

Today is about as good a day as any. I have no idea what that means, but let's just roll with it. Happy Sunday, loves. {Beware the Monday, too is what I feel I should add.} I'm kind of {read: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - and yes, I did have to look up the spelling to that} excited right now. It is finally the day that I get my skin forever ruined. Hahaha, no. I'm just getting a tattoo. 

...this crescent that I am munching on is so good. I just really wanted to throw this in here. ;) Hehe.

Tune: Ven Conmigo by Daddy Yankee feat. Prince Royce

For this upcoming week, I want to get back into going to the gym. Maybe I should have went yesterday when my dad offered me to go, but eh, I didn't feel like it. {Sue me. ;}

Tune: Religion by Skylar Grey

That few day break of no blogging has been quite joyful.  I needed the break. School has been weighing down on me for awhile, and I needed time to recuperate. Thank gosh Spring Break is next week! Tennessee here I come, baby. ;) 

*Lately, I have been watching Supernatural. This is the new show that I am binge watching. Must I say that I'm in love? {Okay, and partially creeped the eff out.} The reason that I even wanted to start watching this show was because of Dean Winchester (played by Jensen Ackles). Like, he's freaking hot. Once I started to actually watch the show, I kept watching it because it's kind of good, and by kind of, I mean amazing. I might have begged my mum, sister, or dad to come and watch the Bloody Mary episode with me, but I'll subject myself to the creepiness of the show if that means I can stare at Dean and Sam all day/night. ;) Harhar.

*My dad barbecued yesterday, and oh my oh my, it makes me long for the summer. 

*Today, I spent the majority of the morning taking outfit photos for next week when I am away in Tennessee. I won't be live-blogging, so that means I must schedule something. Now, all that I have left to do is edit the photos and I'll be set.

*Four day school week for me! Yippee! 

*Oh my gah! I only have eighteen more days until my sixteenth birthday! I'm getting old. ;) Haha. At the moment, I am clueless as to what I want to do for my birthday.  Of course I am going to Xochimilco (duh), but aside from that I don't know.  If I get this Stanford opportunity, then that'll be my gift, but if I do not, then I think I might just ask for some beer shopping money.

It's Sunday, Sunday, Sundaaaaaay. How are y'all? I'm feeling quite energetic. Earlier today, my mum and I went to go pick my sister up from her trip to Lansing for MYIG (Michigan Youth In Government). After that, we all made a trip to Twelve Oaks where we spent approximately an hour in Charlotte Russe. I found an adorable top that I cannot wait to wear during the Summer (possibly sooner than that). Two words: lace and sexy. My trip to 'You're The Only 10 I See" {Sorry. I am still being corny.} will definitely be seeing an appearance of that top. Later this week or next, you will be seeing an update of recent clothing purchases. Look out for that. 

*I am really craving some \[Lebanese] Fattoush this week. That is one of the best salads I have ever had in my entire life. If you've never tasted it before, get it. Get it, pour a twinge of ranch over it (or other side of choice), and devour it like it's meant to. After you do that, come back and talk to me. ;)

*My mom's birthday is on Tuesday! I am super excited for her as well as thankful simply because she was born and is being allowed to see another year. Always stay grateful--death does not have an age. Never-mind that, though! Let's think happy thoughts because I'm happppppy. {Pharrell, anyone?}

*Right now, I am watching an episode of Law & Order: SVU, and it is completely blowing my mind. Are they seriously trying to pin Olivia for the murder of this sociopath that kept women in a dungeon? Really!? How about they shut up and stop. {Television shows are my weakness. Anger, sadness, and extreme happiness are the three emotions that I feel whenever I turn on my TV.}

*Yesterday night, my mother, her best-friend and I watched The Purge (finally). Three words: what. the. bleep. Just think about that. I would never, ever, in my entire life watch that movie again, and I am so thankful that I did not pay to see it in a movie theater.  It was ridiculous, and I honestly would have ran out of the movie theater halfway into the movie. {No lie.} The little boy was crazy for letting that man into the house, which brings me to the fact that he even knew the pass code to the security system! Like, parents, do not tell your children vital information like that as they have very curious minds and will most likely do something very, very stupid with said vital information. And their neighbors--whattttt. I could never look at them the same way; "YOU TRIED TO PRAY AND THEN KILL ME AND MY KIDS, YOU PSYCHOPATHS!" That is essentially what I would have been thinking if I was the mom. Okay, okay, I'm done. Just don't watch it if you have never seen the movie. Save your eyeballs and your sanity.

When I went to the gym, I generally did 45 minutes (I believe), and no less on cardio. I even reached my goal from last Sunday to do twenty minutes on the elliptical along with thirty (or forty) minutes on the treadmill. {Go me!} Also, for a few days, I worked on my arms, chest, and legs, and it was pretty tiring; however, every time I left the gym, I left feeling refreshed. Working out is quickly becoming one of my favorite pastimes. 

On the topic of eating, ehhhhh. This week, it was all kind of wishy-washy. It was like that because I was off from school for two days, meaning that I was free to grub on whatever I wanted at home. Then, I ate Thai food (my ultimate weakness), fortune cookies, and a lot more McDonald's than I'd care to admit. Okay...now that I look at it, this week has been bad health-wise. Boo.

I want to work on my arms three times this upcoming week, while fitting in forty-five minutes of cardio every time I go to the gym. That sounds kind of difficult because I am very lazy when it comes to weights and the like. {Hello! I have absolutely zero upper body strength.} I am going to really try, though.  If I do not get there though, it'll be fine.  All I'd like is to know that I tried. :) Oh! Another thought--although I am not making this an official Sunday Health Goal, I want to try to limit the amount of fast food that I eat this week. Fast food is no muy bueno; es muy mal. 

Aside from that, I have been jamming out to tunes by Jerrod Niemann [I used to always misspell his last name, oops. I wrote Neimann. Common mistake, right?] and downloading music to my new phone (that I loooove). I also just bought these two new cases, which are on their way to my house sometime this week. I am so siked to get them! 

As for my food, I already know that I am going to be eating some Xochi's on Tuesday and maybe some Golden Corral tomorrow. Moreover, just because I am going to two places that are freakishly tasty does not mean that I have to eat horribly. At Golden Corral, I can usually only eat two plates (at the max!), but at Xochi's....eh. I kind of eat and lick my entire plate (just kidding! I don't lick it...). For the remainder of the week, I am going to try and eat some broiled talapia and string beans more, as well as more veggies. Yay for green!
