I’m lighter

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I’m doing pretty good on my diet/lifestyle change! Been going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and doing a moderated weight watchers points plan thing. I weighed in this morning and Ive lost 10 lbs in the past 5 weeks. thats really, really good.

Go me!

I’m going on vacation in 8 days! I can’t wait for relaxation and swimming, sun, and fun times with family. The house we’re going to is called Star Fish

Just watched Michael Phelps win his 7th gold medal of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. It was the CLOSEST, most unbelievable finish I’ve ever seen, besides the Mens 4×100 freestyle relay. The finish is being reviewed right now. Just had to write this down. I’m pretty sure I’ll remember but it’ll be a nice reminder some day when I momentarily forget. Incredible.

Did I mention I LOVE the Olympics.

Hostels

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

I’m looking into hostels for Italy, and I can do this trip so much cheaper if I just do a hostel for the whole week. For two people, we could spend $300 for the entire week. $150 a person on lodging is incredible! yes it won’t be as glamorous, but I’ll be able to do the trip on less money which is becoming more and more important.

I know I said I’d like to go to italy in april or may, but i’m also thinking that i could go in sept/october in case I havent saved enough money. And sept/october is also off season, so i’ll get the better deals.
