So last weekend was a blast! We went to Sea World for 2 days and Schlitterbahn for 1 day. It was so much fun! And I have a very nice color now! I got a Season Pass to Sea World, because I absolutely love that place! The Viva show was my most favorite one! I think we saw it twice while we were there, but I could have gone to see it again and again! It included the Beluga whales (which my mom adores, she thinks they have the cutest faces, which, they do) and the Pacific White Sided dolphins (absolutely beautiful!!). The show really was incredibly, and had high divers and synchronized swimmers and awesome music. It was great!! I can’t wait to go back. And I think that during those 2 days, I spent maybe 5 hours over at Dolphin Cove. I wish we could have gotten in to swim with them! They are incredible! So graceful, beautiful and playful! I spent $10 at first on fish to feed them, and then at the last feeding of the day, I decided that I was going to buy another $5 tray of fish, so that I could help get the dolphins close to some kids who wanted to touch the dolphins. It was a really good feeling. I just felt really peaceful being there with the dolphins. Oh, and the Viva show, for some weird reason, made me cry. I’m such a dork, I couldn’t help it. They are just amazing animals, and I was just so grateful that I was able to enjoy them.
I very much enjoyed our little vacation. I know I got on my family’s last nerve, and they on mine, but really, I very much enjoyed spending the time with them. I hope they know that I really do love them.
I plan on going back to Sea World soon. Maybe around the end of August, right before everyone goes back to school, so if anyone wants to go, let me know! I can get discounts for my friends and stuff, and it would be a blast!
Eventually, I’ll come back and add some pictures, but at the moment, you can see some of them on my facebook.
Ok, so I kind of failed at the whole keeping track of what I eat thing. It’s ok though, I’m still doing ok. And my pants have started to fall off. Seriously..it’s a pain, but it’s a good thing!
So I figure maybe I’ll just actually keep up a blog blog. Even if I don’t have too much to say, maybe I can at least come by and post something to keep people up to date. Especially since certain of my friends will be moving away very shortly…that makes me so sad!!!
Ok, I have a migraine. I hit my head last night on the towel rack. I had dropped a ring, went to pick it up, and BAM..right into the towel rack. OUCH! It hurt..lots. Last time I hit my head (yeah, I seem to have a problem with that lately) I had a headache for days!
Well, I’m headed to bed!

Well, not so bad for my first day of keeping track of everything. But I’ve felt SO hungry all day and kept feeling the need to put something in my mouth every hour! UGH! This is going to be tough. Crazy tough. But if I keep it up, it will get easier for me to do it. And I know it will be worth it.

EDIT:
So I just realized that I had WAY too many calories here. I didn’t realize that my breakfast was so many calories. I guess that’s why I’m keeping a food diary, to realize what I’m eating. The total calories I ate yesterday was 1538 cal and 23g fat).
ARGH! - June 3, 2008 -
So, I’m about to go in to a meeting at work, but I just had to come by and say that I am SO Hungry! I’m not sure why I constantly feel hungry, but man, this is hard.
So far, for breakfast I had a bowl of Crunchy Raisin Bran cereal with Almond milk, and 1 corn tortilla with refried beans and cheese. About an hour and a half ago I ate 4 Saltine crackers. I just at an Apple. I’ve had 3 cups of water. But I still have this urge to put food in my mouth and my tummy keeps saying it’s hungry!
I’ve got to find SOMETHING to help this. Maybe Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. I’m not sure, but I need help!
Hello!!!
So, I’m trying to figure out this new website/blog thing. Seeing as how I don’t know code…html…ANYTHING like that, I think I’m doing a decent job. If only I could get this Falbum flickr thing to work! BLARGH!!!! Dang blasted thing keeps giving me errors! That, and I can’t figure out how to get a link on my main page that will let me log in to here so I can manage it and such. *sigh* oh well…maybe someone will come around that can help!
Anyways, I figured I would start a website and blog to try and help me in my weight loss efforts. From now on, there will be a post with all the food that I ate that day, the amount of water I drank, and the exercise I did. Hopefully this will help to keep me accountable.
Well, my break is over, so Thanks again for coming to visit my website! Any tips, advice, help and suggestions on any of this will be welcomed! Thanks!
~Pam
