Today I thought about starting a blog for myself so I can reflect back on my life and remember everything that went on. Well...looks like it begins tonight!
To sum up what has happened the past couple weeks: Andrew and I have been sick with the flu for almost 2 weeks now. I think mine started off as a little cold but because he got it worse, he gave it right back to me. I wish we were getting better. I feel a little better but I'm still feeling blah and my sinuses are still full. Andrew still sounds awful and keeps coughing. It's honestly getting on my nerves. He's been out of work the entire time so you can tell how it's not helping out bills much.
Money isn't going too well right now. It's the slow season in the salon and we're all scraping for money. It kind of doesn't help that we have 11 groomers in a 8 groomer based salon. Oh well, my job obviously doesn't know how to count how many tables are in there. There are 8, not 11. Let's hope for more money coming soon :)
Things to look forward to: March 7th I am moving out of this hell hole I call home! To anyone who reads this, DO NOT MOVE TO FAIRWAYS AT TOWSON. This apartment complex is the worse! If you'd like to know why, you can always ask. I'd love to tell you! Just be prepared, hah. Anyway, Andrew and I are moving to white marsh. It's a really nice place with a fireplace! However, it is more expensive :( I hope we can make it.
In April I'm turning 21! Finally the day has come. And no I'm not super excited that I can drink legally, well a little excited. But I'm hoping that my family will start treating me like an adult. I doubt it, but it's nice to dream.
I'm also excited to go to Disney World at the end of May! Andrew and I are finally going on a vacation by ourselves for a week to do whatever we'd like! Plus it's my favorite place in world so, I can't stop thinking about it. Very excited!
Things I'm worried about: Last October my Aunt found out she has cancer. It's been a really tough thing on my family and I to go through. I've never been through something like this, and the first few months were very depressing and emotional for me. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I was always zoning out at home, at work, everywhere. She is progressing a bit, but the cancer is still there. She is currently going through radiation for the next two weeks, then back to the chemo. It's really hard to watch her suffer, but she's being very strong about it if you ask me.
My best friend had her baby, my godson, last October..Which is a good thing. However, she just recently went into the hospital with really bad pneumonia. She can't even breathe on her own. I really hope that she makes a speedy recovery!
FINALLY! Okay I know it's a lot today, but it's my first blog. What do you expect! I will be blogging about this most of time, so get ready to be bored!--
Starting January 3rd of this year, Andrew and I decided to go on a diet! WOO! Yeah I know, exciting right? Well, I decided it's time to get healthy! We're actually doing pretty well! Shocked? I know me too. Haha. Since the beginning here are the stats:
January 3, 2011-January 26, 2011
Andrew has lost 20lbs!
Courtney has lost 7lbs!
I know, what a bummer right? Look at mine compared to Andrews. Why is so hard for women to lose weight?! Men always lose it so much easier. Oh well, I'm not giving up. I'm feeling so fit! I gave up soda completely, which was my favorite ever! Coca-Cola...mmm. I still have cravings! I stopped drinking caffeine and got a migraine for 3 days straight! IF YOU ARE PLANING ON GIVING UP CAFFEINE AT ANYTIME, DO IT IN MODERATION. Trust me, that head pain was SO not worth it. But anyway, we're doing well! My goal is to lose 60lbs! I know it's going to be tough, but I have a secret to my weight loss....
JUST DANCE 2!
Yep, that's it. Let me tell you, that is a real work out! I've started by doing the JUST SWEAT program. It calculates your SWEAT POINTS. 1 calorie=4.2 sweat points. I'm up to 7 songs a day right now. I'm going to do more and more each week! I'm excited for this new healthy life style!
Now if I can just get rid of this flu....:(
I can't wait for spring/summer! I'm tired of this cold and snow! THAT'S WHY EVERYONE KEEPS GETTING SICK! Boo.
Talk to you soon folks! I'll keep you updated ;)
