On a cleanse and dinner out...

I started Jillian Michael's Cleanse on Monday, not really feeling different, but here's hoping that'll change at some point.

We might be going to the Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant. Hopefully tonight, maybe not though. I really want to try their lemon pepper salmon. Sounds delish.

I'm done with school, just waiting for my test scores from the NCCT. And looking for a job. Anyone need a phlebotomist in the Chicagoland area??

Only 120 Days until my 30th.

So there are only 120 days until my 30th birthday. Only 4 months. Kinda scary. I've started phlebotomy school, I 'graduate' tomorrow. So I'll have my phlebotomy certification, my CPR cert and next Thurday I'll be taking the NCCT test to become a nationally certified phlebotomist. I'll hopefully have a job by mid-October.

I've lost 30 pounds. 25 of which was my Jenny Craig goal and the extra 5 was my personal goal. I bought myself a necklace for hitting it. It was only, $9 but I'm pretty proud of my self.

Tom and I took his sister and her 'boyfriend' out on Saturday night. NEVER again will I go out with his sister. She was a complete bitch the whole time and now isn't talking to Tom becuase he hugged my sister...We went to see The Final Destination(Stupid!!), to Navy Pier, where we caught the fireworks. Never been down there to see them, very cool. And then it was off to my sister's bar, :: Loft 610 ::, which was AWESOME. Ihave her planning my 30th there. I really, really loved it. And she's a rocking bartender too. So let the countdown begin!!

Yay for new beginnings...

I'm starting school (again!) today...Stars Academy Phlebotomy--Hoping that it can get me into a hospital or office that would be willing to pay for me to continue my education. Still on JC. I've lost 25 pounds since 4/25/09. 5 pounds past my goal. Everyone is saying I look great, but I still feel like I can go a bit more.

I am doing breakfasts on my own. I've found some great cereals that fit in with my menu.
I add a yogurt and some fruit to them and eat them all mixed up. Alos, separating them into snack sized baggies after I buy them saves time and I know exactly how much I'm getting.

Thinking about going some lunces on my own too. Probably buy Boca Burgers or something like that.

Tattoos...

I have 7 tattoos.

#1 is my tramp stamp. It's going to be covered with a black koi fish at some point. Like this:But in black, obviously, since the tramp stamp is black and blue.

#2 is a horrible 'tattoo party' tat, looks like this:

Without the moon and way faded...Have to get it redone, or covered.

#3 was drawn up for me by Jeremy, when he worked at Flesh Gear in Rockdale:

#4 is a koi done by Jeremy as well, it shifted after I lost weight. It was on my hip, now it's moving to my back:

#5&6 are birds on my feet that really need to be redone, bad, bad story:

#7 was done by my maybe BIL Miles from Sixth Street Tattoo in Coshocton, Ohio:

Moral if the story, make sure you want something on your body for the rest of your life and that the artist is an artist, not a someone that just in it for the extra $.

It's been a while...

I'm down to 122:) Surpassed my goal, but I'm still going to continue on JC. I'd like to get down a bit more, just for my own personal satisfaction.

On another note, I'm going back to school. Something in the medical field--hopefully, then, I'll always have a job, not to mention some skills;)

Daley College has been completely unhelpful, especially their bitches in the student center. Really rude and condescending. I'm just trying to get info. It kills me, I don't know your policies/procedures, that's what I'm here to find out. Being rude to me isn't going to help either of us. Just going to aggrevate me until I snap at you and then neither of us is going to be happy.

Tom said something to me that kinda got to me, but not really. And I quote, "I really love you, but you are a bitch."

Well, yes dear, I am. But atleast you still love me;)

Wednesday, LP Zoo and the HEAT...

It's been SUPER hot in Chicago these past 2 days, even having heat warnings--The kids still love being outside though...Lot's of sunscreen and water...

I ran Week 6 Day 3, which is 25 minutes of running with no breaks. Thought I was going to die--but I did it:)

Ry's started play camp this week and he really likes it...He's going to the Lincoln Park Zoo tomorrow. Next week they're going bowling. For the little amount we paid, we're getting a hell of a deal...

K has to go to the orthodontist for a consult--her mouth is too small for all her teeth, so she's probably going to ned braces soon...

B: Cranberry Almond Cereal(- the cranberries)
L: Cheesy Enchilada
D: Turkey w/Gravy

It's been a minute or 5...

Happy father's day!

I was up 2 oz at my last weigh-in, which sucked! I'm still doing the same things, so I don't know why...whatever, I'm going to run everyday this week, weather permitting. Rain is not my friend...

Going by my Aunt's today, maybe FINALLY getting my tat today...who knows.

B: Triple Crisp Cereal--kind if like Capt'n Crunch
L: S/W Chicken and Rice
D: Mac and Cheese
