2012 Ramblings ✿✿✿

Welcome, 2012! Given, I'm making this post twelve days too late, but bear with me here. 

A few New Years resolutions: 
Lose 50 pounds
Be musically productive
Pass junior year with decent grades

I've already began a strict diet; I began this diet January 1st and haven't even thought about cheating in these part twelve days. Cheating simply isn't an option -- imagine being allergic to peanuts, you don't slip and shovel peanut brittle into your mouth, do you? No, this would result in serious health issues, hospitalization, etc etc etc. 

Same thing with dieting; eat the macaroni and cheese (sweets were never much of a thing for me) and end up 300 pounds and unhappy for the rest of your life, perhaps hospitalized as well. It just isn't an option. 

While I truly believe all bodies are beautiful, I'm doing this for myself. I'm not aiming for hip bones and a two inch thigh gap -- if I'm happy prior to reaching my goal weight, so be it. 

Diet goals: 
Exercise every day, 30 minutes minimum
Do sit ups before and after every meal
Stick to eating plan (Then again, cheating isn't an option)
Drink water or sugarless tea all day every day -- don't drink your calories
Achieve a healthy goal weight

I'm probably just rambling to myself, but here's to a happy and healthy 2012 !

another downtown photo post

Sensing a theme here, are you?

This time I went alone, simply to take pictures and wander around. I ran into 2nd Avenue Records, my new favorite shop, where I blew all my money on the Monkees' Instant Reply and the Beatles' Rubber Soul.

An Adventure Downtown: A Ridiculously Long Photo Post

Saturday, October 8, Grace and I ventured to Downtown Portland. There was copious amounts of pumpkin flavored coffee, confusion, records, and trying not to look people in the eye at all costs.
