Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

27 days until i leave for Guatemala
and I am only 5.8 lbs away from my Guatemala goal weight.
Last weigh in on 5/16/12: 173
Weighed in today at 170.8 lbs
Lost this time: -2.2 lbs
Lost since i started my whole food(ish) on 5/4/12 (i haven’t been very consistent with that): -6 lbs with no gains thus far
Guatemala goal weight is 165 so at this rate maybe i will exceed my goal and get down to closer to 160 :D
the bench where he kissed me :)
he kissed me on a bench by the water
yesterday i went to the lake with the boy and we were walking by the lake. we came across some benches under a tree and sat a chilled for a little while. then, he kissed me for the first time. it was in my opinion picturesque. i could not have asked for a better setting. and then we proceeded to spend more time together and i was very nearly late for work due to my setting an alarm but not having the volume turned on on my ipod (*face palm*). but it was totally worth it :D
so i got up waaaayyyyy earlier than anticipated
so i get to have lunch with the boy :D
i can’t stop smiling right now
i just spent 5 hrs with a really great guy. this is a guy that i attend church with and i have seen/hung out with him for 4 days in a row. tonight i went over to his apt to watch a movie. we ended up watching 2 movies and by the end of the night we were holding hands :) (i know i probably sound like a really sappy high schooler right now but i don’t care). this guy is totally my type, he a good christian guy and idk we are both kind of quirky and awkward lol. but now i won’t see him until sunday bc i work the next 3 nights and he works day shifts so most of our communicating will be via text message
:D
i swear, i live on vanilla greek yogurt and raspberries
i eat that at least once a day, everyday and sometimes i have it more than once a day
also WIW
Last WI: 173.9
Today: 173
Total: -0.9 lbs
not too bad considering my eating was not super on point this week courtesy of shark week.
Total lost since starting whole food diet on 5/4/12: -3.8 lbs
kind of frustrating day
so i went to the health dept to get a hepatitis A vaccine bc i will be going to guatemala in june, and found out that is texas (unlike IL and VT) you can not receive any of their services if you have health insurance. so then i had to find some place that had the vaccine and then i had to call like 3 different 800 numbers to find out if my insurance would cover it bc otherwise it would have cost me $150. so yeah i wanted to pull my hair out after dealing with automated phone services. but after making all those calls i found a place that would give it to me and my health insurance covered ALL of it, i didn’t even have to pay a copay :D
but on the plus side, i get my roots rehighlighted and i get to see the guy from church tonight, and i ordered my next bountiful basket :)
my interesting lunch “date”
so there is this guy at church that was sending out some tentative “i’m interested in you” vibes a few weeks ago, but at the time i was dating and made it clear to him that i was dating. well now i’m single and today made it clear that i am now single. anyway, after church a group of us usually goes to this local restaurant, but today most ppl were gone or went out to lunch with their moms. but the guy from church is not from around here, nor am i, so we decided to go to that restaurant anyway and it ended up just being the two of us and we stayed there for almost 4 hours talking. and i will be hanging out with him and some other ppl from church tomorrow night.
this may sound silly, but i haven’t been able to stop thinking about him since he first sent out the i’m interested vibes. he is my “type” i guess idk, we shall see how things pan out.
sorry if this post kind of rambled and didn’t flow or w/e but i’ve been awake for over 20hrs so i’m not really good with the whole sentences-flowing-together thing lol
