What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail?

I was asked this question the other day from one of my very best friends and it helped confirm my decision to finish taking my classes for medical school and apply. I do not want to look back on life and say "I should have done that, but I was scared!" Maybe she will even go with me, haha! I actually registered for one of the three additional classes I will need before I can apply. I know that I can do this, and now I am ready to give it 100%!

My weigh in this week was great! I am down 10.4 lbs since the weigh in started! Only 4.6 more until my 15 lb goal! This challenge has been so great for me. I have always had so much trouble losing weight, but with this challenge I have been succeeding! I am almost into a size 14 jeans!

Work is going good! I only have a couple of more weeks left, and then I will be home hanging out with the kids for a couple of weeks! Then it is back to school. I will not be able to come home at all this semester, but I will make the best of it. I am prepared now to deal with the cold and the different lifestyle. I have a great family that I babysit for and I know that they will help make my semester enjoyable.

I have been so busy that I haven't been able to get my camera out and use it, but today that will change! Next time I update I will have pictures!

So, what would you do if you couldn't fail? We have only one life to live.

The Fourth of July

I wake up early every morning to go to work everyday and you would think that today I would get to sleep in. Wrong, I had to wake up at 4:30 to take my sister to a qualifying track meet for the Junior Olympics and she made it! Yippee!

I have a new friend and we have been getting to know each other a lot better. We will see how it progresses. I am very apprehensive about jumping into anything.

I would like to do a giveaway! A book giveaway actually. I am pondering what book to giveaway, but it's in the works! I love reading and I would like to share that with other people. I just finished reading The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes so maybe it will be that. Does anyone have any book recommendations?

I have been slacking on my workouts and eating right. I am getting back in the game as of today. I want to be in a size 14 by the end of the summer and I am so close! I WILL EAT RIGHT AND WORKOUT!! Speak things into existence and they shall come true!!

I have blogged two days in a row now! I am trying to be better at blogging with my busy schedule.

I hope everyone has a happy holiday!

Updates on Me/Completely Random Information

• Have you ever wondered why apple juice is brown or why a cookie taste better than a carrot? Me too, more particularly I wonder why apple juice is brown - hehe!

• Well, I have been inspired by Karen's blog! I have decided to do a pay it forward. I am not sure who I am going to help, but if you know of someone who could use a pay it forward please let me know! It will be completely anonymous on my end, and I would like to bless a person or family in need. I would also like to step out of my comfort zone and do some new and fun things!

• Who doesn't like attention? Me, wouldn't you say that makes me weird! Yes!

• God has set a fire in us to fulfill some thing and I bet many of us are not listening, or we are letting others tell us what we can and cannot do in life! Only God can determine what you are not capable of! Recently I have gotten this fire! It is so interesting to see what God will show you when you take the time to pray and listen!

• Hopefully time slows down so I do not have to go back to school soon OR time speeds up so it can be May and I will have graduated.

• In general life is still going good. I am completely happy and cannot wait to move back permanently.

• I plan on blogging more next week, this week I have just been engulfed in work!

• Anyone want to take on a cool project with me? It's top secret, but let me know if you want to help! It will benefit others in the hospital!

Week 24 - "Let's Hear It For The Boys!"

If you know me, I love taking pictures and when I saw that "Let's Hear It For The Boys!" was the category for this week I knew I would have just the perfect picture! Be sure to head on over to www.iheartfaces.com to check out all of the beautiful face entries this week!

Here is my entry for this week! A little boy whom I love to babysit! We just went outside one day and had a photo shoot! So much fun! I am in the process of learning photoshop so that I can make this picture even better! 

Work, Work, and More Work

Here are some pics from VBS!

• I love blogging but work just keeps me soooo busy! On top of work I took the kids back and forth to vbs all week. We took at least 10 kids each night! 
  
• Work is great and keeps me busy!
• This week I could not get control of my eating! I just had a week! I ate even when I was full and I just couldn't stop.  I gained 2 lbs this week! Today will be better! 
• Life is unwrapping many surprises for me and I am perfectly content with that! 
• I am excited about visiting my best friend this weekend! I will get to see her and some other people that I haven't seen in a while.

Other than that, not much going on! Have a great week!

I've been MIA

I started a new internship with the Office on Women's Health on Monday and I wake up at 4:45 leave the house at 5:30 and don't get home until between 5:30 and 6:00. I am so exhausted by the time the day is over, I do not even have time to get on the computer. I am really enjoying my internship and hope I can find a job similar to this when I graduate next May. 

I have started the second challenge and it is going good so far. I have worked out 8 times (I walk to and from the train station for work, about 20-25 minutes every day) and I have had 2 cheats, birthday cake and new york cheesecake ice cream. I am going on a low carb diet as of today as well. We will see how this goes. I have noticed that I take in too many carbs in a day. My first meal on a low carb diet was a omelet with green peppers and onions from my garden! Yum! I am going to get more onions to plant and I am also going to plant some other veggies today. Gardening is quite fun. My bell pepper plant disappeared and so did one of my tomato plants. I still have a habanero plant and tomato plant growing with the other onions we haven't picked. 

Things in general are going good, it's weird to live at home with all these rules but such is life! I am just not used to telling people where I ago and worrying about what time I come home. I am praying for some signs about things in life, like what I should do in regards to them, so we will see.

Can't wait to meet some fellow beauties on Thursday! I will try and post more often!

Went to the lake last weekend and it was so much fun! I had missed hanging out with my Texas Tech friends.
