one day.
I hope that whoever I one day say “I love you” to knows how special that is to me. I never say that to anyone. I don’t even know if I allow myself to feel that way about anyone. Not just romantic but even platonically. I don’t usually use the term that I “love” someone to describe my feelings towards them. The day that I have a relationship with someone that evokes the emotion inside me that make me want to tell them “I love you” will be a great day indeed. I really look forward to it. I also look forward to hearing someone tell me “I love you” and mean it because they choose it and not because they have to (like family). A moment of pure intimacy when I feel so loved that I have to say, “I love you,” honestly gives me the hope to keep me going until that day arrives.
p.s. Sorry if you follow me because I am mostly a weight loss blog, but I post some of my personal text posts here because I don’t want some people that follow my regular blog to see it. Thanks for understanding.
steering clear of facebook today.
all of the posts about graduation just depress me. i should be doing that right now and i’m not. i think deep down it makes me feel like i somehow failed at something. it doesn’t feel good. i’m trying to see the big picture and know that it has happened the way it has for a reason and i just can’t see why yet. there are just so many uncertain things in my life right now. i really wish i has some stability and support. it probably looks like i have tons of it from the outside, but because everyone assumes it noone see a need to meet. i am also not used to having to talk to people and be completely honest. i really wish i had some people in my life who wouldn’t leave. who would show me they care. who would tell me they care. it is not enough for it to just be understood. i need to be shown, because i feel alone alot of the time. especially lately, i have many times a day where i do not feel wanted by anyone. i know that those thoughts and feelings are not true, but they still pop up in my mind all the time. it is truly hard to trust God. i know I should be clinging to Him and asking for answers, but right now it isn’t the first thing i do. but, if there really is power to be found in God that is where i should go. i know he is stronger, but i wish i believed it more. god help my unbelief. i know it, but i need to believe it. god i really need someone to be there for me. please.
The Summer of 2012 will be one for the books.
I am going to do things differently.
I want to get results in my life that are different than the way things have always been, and to do that you have to change what you do in your routine.
Small steps leading to huge results.
I am going to try to use the treadmill and bike in the basement of my house regularly. I also plan on buying a set of 10lb weights.
1st goal that comes with an AWESOME prize at the end is going to be giving up 2 things.
I give up soda and sweets for 50 days. Yep. Starting on Thursday, May 4. Ending on Saturday, June 23.
At the end, I will buy an Iphone. And an amazing case. By then I will also have the time to save up to get one and be able to pay the data plan each month.
This is going to be an exciting, challenging, and rewarding journey.
The end is especially going to be sweet, because I will be healthier and have an awesome phone.
More goals will be had, but for now this is going to be tough enough.
Here’s to staying consistent!

I know it sounds lame, but this really motivates me! I’m 21 and at the prime of my life. I don’t want to look back and regret not wearing the things I wanted to or doing the things I wanted to because I was insecure about my looks. Plus, I want to look back and be proud of the runs I completed, weights I lifted, etc!
so motivating. I will do this.

Lemon Chicken
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. lemon zest
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 2-4 lbs. of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 2-3 tbsp. olive oil
- Thinly sliced lemons, for garnished
Directions:
Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large zipper-lock plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake well to blend. Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the marinade, pressing out excess air and sealing once more. Refrigerate and let marinate for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and transfer to a baking dish, skin-side up, reserving the leftover marinade. Brush the top of each piece of chicken with olive oil.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the skins are crispy and well-browned. Halfway through baking, pour the remaining marinade over the chicken pieces in the baking dish. Once fully baked, cover loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with lemon slices and serve.
