What's up home nuggets!

Hey all,

Just checking in...I haven't posted in a while, I apologize. Let's see...where should I begin....

Opening Day 2008: Once again, KT and I went to Detroit to hang with a bunch of men (and I say that because it really is a meat market for us. There are some girls there, but the majority of individuals there are men). You might ask, "how was the game? where did you sit?" yeah we didn't have "seats" in the "park." We didn't last year either. Lemme tell you...it is just as much fun hanging out with the rest of the Tigers fans outside of the park as it is inside of the park. It was a sorta cold day, we started early with a nice breakfast and ended right around 7ish. It was a fun day. Lots of pictures, but I need to get them from KT.

Weight Loss: Yes, I'm back on the wagon people. I seem to be doing a pretty good job now. I was actually worried there for a bit. I just lost my motivation for it. I don't eat enough fruits or veggies, never have. So I've decided to start drinking V-8 Fusion (it's a full serving of fruits and veggies in an 8 oz serving) at breakfast and then I drink a can of Low-Sodium V-8 juice at lunch. I'm actually getting used to the taste and I think *gasp* that I might actually like it. Big news there people. Seriously! I don't eat butter, don't use salt, don't drink milk or soda and I've really cut down on my cheese consumption. I did a lot of reading on saturated fat and it talked me into watching the amount of it I consume. I've turned into the "wow, that stuff is really bad for
you" chick. It just comes out people, I'm sorry if you're tired of hearing it! I can't help it! I want you to be as healthy as you can be! So here's my lecture for tonight: don't smoke, don't pour salt on your food, stop drinking that horrid soda (it's like drinking formaldehyde), watch your fiber intake (more is better), drink water, get some exercise (30 min/day) and above all else, get a good night's rest. A study I saw showed that you are 24% hungrier if you don't get a good night's sleep. There, I feel better.

Stupid Grade-School Drama Bullshit: Still happening. A lot of jealousy and envy have started in. Not me, no. The other chick is jealous of me, why you ask? I can't really put my finger on it. It has made me realize that I'm better off without her antics, but it does leave a bit of a hole in my life, since I am/was so close with her entire family. It's a shame really. But I'm not backing down. I haven't done anything wrong and I won't act like I did.

Softball 2008: It's starting up again! The team I was recruited for is Mass Chaos. I'll answer your question now, yes I was a first-round draft pick. I can't wait....I do love this sport. I'm so glad that at my age, I can still get around, throw the ball, hit it past the outfielders (yeah not kidding, I'm pretty much an all-star). The only thing I need to work on is my running. With 27 pounds gone, I think it might be easier to haul my ass around the bases, so I'm looking forward to proving myself this season. We start on Mother's Day. I wonder if my second job will mind if I have to leave early that day? We'll see if we have another drive-by shooting like we did last year, since we do play in the G-H-E-T-T-O. One thing I love....at age 33, my parents still come see me play. That flipping rocks.

Events: Well I am walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies again this year, on Apr 30. If you would like to sponsor me, please let me know. I'm going to attempt to raise some funds, although in this economy, I think it might be a tough task. I am thankful for any contribution that comes my way. I'm also going to participate in the Susan Komen Race for the Cure this May. I think I am going to attempt to run it, instead of walking this year. I might not be fast, and I might need to walk some, but I'm gonna try to do it. I'm going to start training for that this week. It's been a goal of mine to run a race, so why not set that goal for this year?

Well that's all for now, hope I've entertained you! Have a great week everyone!!
