"i'm a druuuunk japa-neeeee!"

so blessed to have friends. soaked up some midday hilo sun as i rode my bike to cafe pesto to meet up with gayle and jason for some epic grub, shrimp nachos and blue ceasar salad, ohhh yeah. recapped a fun drunkfest last night, and how my boyfriend (who rarely drinks more than one beer) took two shots of jager and draaaank who knows how many beers (i can't imagine it being more than 3). "i'm a druuuunk japa-neeeee!" he sang into the mic.

so lately my life has been full of inspirations and ideas, never before have i set more goals for myself. the usual, save money, lose weight, make art.

saving money is hard! any tips would be appreciated. i'm sure it's stuff i already know. was it necessary to spend $28.00 on lunch? i don't need that bottle of nail polish from longs. those trendy earrings in claires. do i really need another yard of fabric when i have like 20 untouched yards at home? ugh.

week 2 on weight watchers and i've lost 7.2 lbs! it's the most i've ever lost since i've attempted dieting. i tried counting calories but would lose track and give up easily. i tried exercising but the foods i was eating made me feel sluggish and lazy. i can't believe i used to POUND a whole big mac extra value meal and still be able to eat ice cream after. on weight watchers my appetite has noticeably changed, i get seriously full after eating half my meal- and that easily turns a 12 point fatty meal into a 6 point meal. i also have so much more energy to exercise and do chores. i can't express how stoked i am, but i can say that i am that much more focused on regaining that skinny manini body (ok, i was never skinny manini but i'd like to be).

and sewing! creating brings pure joy. making something out of nothing makes me feel like a genius!
