Five For Friday

I have decided to jump on the bandwagon... here goes :) 

1. I am doing the 21 day fix.  It's by beachbody, and I love it, but it is really hard.  Basically you calculate how many calories you are allowed each day by using a chart they give you, and an equation that involves multiplying your weight by 11.  They break down how many cups of each group you can have for each section of the calorie chart.  So basically, I am allowed 6 cups of veggies each day, 4 cups of fruit, 6 of protein, 4 grains, 1 of carbs and 1 of healthy fats and oils.  The healthy fats and oils container only holds 2 teaspoons.  You also do a 30 minute exercise dvd each day.  It was very hard in the beginning, and it was really hard 1/2 way through. However, I am on the last week, and I am starting to see results.  For example I am craving proteins now, and not sweets. I am still craving some things I used to eat, but I know that if I can make it to day 21, I can treat myself.   

Some things that are not fix approved:  Lunch meats like capicola and proscuitto.  Frappacinos.  Sour cream.  Cream cheese.  Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.  Salt. Sugar. Ice Cream.   

I plan on making to day 21, getting my measurements, and taking a couple days off to have a frappacino, eat mexican food,  grab frozen yogurt.  Then, I will start all over again :) 

2.  I am a coach for beachbody.  That means if you want to try a new exercise program or if you want to try the 21 day fix, contact me and I will be happy to help you with getting what you need to meet your goals :) 

3.  I am so happy that warmer weather is coming.  That means more pool time.  This girl needs a tan, stat.  

4.  I just ordered a new steno machine for school.  I am so excited, and hopefully this machine will be awesome and I will be able to trade it in for a top of the line machine when I graduate.  

5. I may or may not have decided to look for a job when I graduate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I may or may not have picked out where I want to live.  I may or may not have a Pinterest board dedicated to this.

TotalSocial linkup

 Hello :)

Yes I know, it's been a bit since I have been here.  Things have been busy, and are just now winding down.

Anyhow, I am linking up with Brenda to do a total social linkup.  I have never done one of these before, but she did it and it looked fun, so here we go!

First movie I saw in a theater: I have this memory of my grandmother taking my brother and I to see maybe Snow White.  But I don't really remember us watching the movie, just us talking about it in the car.  The first movie I really remember going to see at the movies is Hoosiers, which was a good movie, but I hate sports, so I hate that I remember it.

First Professional sporting event:  I have many memories of Tiger basketball and Tiger football.  Most of them involve me taking a book so I wouldn't be bored to death.

First best friend:  I had 2 neighborhood friends that I played with, Lauren and Ginny.  My first school friend was Shelby in Kindergarten.

First bike- I remember getting a purple bike when I was very little, and of course, the Christmas I got it was one of the coldest.

First literary obsession: I was very obsessed with the Ramona books, and the movies.  Also, I remember loving, loving, loving The Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley High.

First date:  A group of us in school went to a dance at school one Friday night.  Wahoo.

First album you bought for yourself:  I remember getting to pick out albums that my parents or grandparents were going to buy me.  These albums included Amy Grant, Reba, and New Kids On The Block, but the first one I paid for was Madonna's Like A Prayer.

First Concert:  Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.  Don't judge.

First international destination:  My grandparents took their three grandchildren to England and Scotland when we were 9, 9, and 11.  It was pretty sweet.

First car:  The first car my parents bought for us was a 1985 Honda Accord.  It was a piece.  The first car I picked out for myself was a 1999 Honda Civic, and then later, I picked out a 2006 Honda Civic.  I am looking to break the Honda streak.

First real job:  When I was 12, I was hired to babysit some neighborhood kids after school.  I made $25 a week, and I thought I was rich.

First roommate:  When I moved into college, I lived with a girl named Lisa.  It was a good experience because I had never shared a room or anything with another person.

First home of my own:  When I was 24, and literally turning 25 days later, I moved into an apartment with the daughter of a coworker.  I was young and naive, and hadn't ever lived on my own before, so it was a real growing experience for me.  She was used to living by herself and had to get used to me.  We figured out that I am a very hard person to live with.  We lived together 4 months, and then  I moved into a cheaper apartment by myself.  It was cute and cozy, but the neighborhood was going downhill.  I lived there about 4 years and then I moved.

First day as a blogger:  April 17, 2014.  This originally started as a class assignment, but I have decided to keep it going.


First tweet:  It was from January 25, 2009.  It said " I am at home, and I am about to go to a friend's house".  I have no recollection of whose house it was, and why I felt the need to tweet that.....

This was fun :)
