guess what i'm eating?  if you guessed honey bunches of oats with strawberries, you are correct!  yummy!  cereal.  i am finnnnnaaaly done with the darned diet.  no more soup until the next time i do it, which probably won't be until next year.  anyone want to join me?  hehe.  i want to try kellogg's special k with strawberries, i think i might like that better.  too many oats in the honey bunches of oats.  :)
so i weighed myself this morning and i'm still 129lbs.  grrr... the reason behind staying on the diet for a couple of extra days was to hopefully lose another pound, but no such luck.  i blame it all on the the miniscule piece of spam.  damn spam. 
but then it also makes me wonder, maybe 129-130lbs is the lowest i can get?  you know how people have their comfort weights, and it's just not possible for them to get any skinnier?  i weighed 115-120 before... but my body frame has gotten larger since then.  hmm...  well seeing how my thighs jiggle, i think that i can stand to lose pound or two more, but prolly not thru dieting.  damn, i'll have to exercise. 
i haven't noticed too much of a difference, but parkin actually complimented me.  he said i looked skinnier!  parkin's never said that to me... i mean since we've started working out.  it meant a lot, for parkin to actually think i looked skinnier?  wow.  if you know parkin, you'll know that he's a pretty blunt guy, straight up and to the point.  he doesn't lie or anything, maybe a little fib for fun, but he'll always be honest with you.  so when he says something like i actually look skinnier, it's a big fat compliment.

the bad thing about working out after dinner is that we get home so late and i hate showering at night because it takes forever to blow dry my hair.  the good thing about working out late and then showering at night is that i get to sleep in 10 minutes longer in the morning. then the bad thing about that is that i dont' get a morning wake up shower.  *yawn*  so shleppy this morning.

i'm turning 25 soon.  you know what that means?  i'll be in the next bracket.  you know, when you do surveys or sign documents and have to tell your age, 18-24 is one bracket, then 25-30something is another?  i'm moving on to the next box!  it's a bittersweet move.  sometimes i wish that i had more friends my age.  i wonder if they are in the same mindset as i am.  a lot of my college friends are just finishing up with school this year, but i also know that some of them are already working on their career paths, which then makes me sad because i haven't found my path yet.  i dont' have a passion, i am not sure what i want to do, work wise.  right now, the wedding is occupying my time and working here is just for the money, it's not a career that i want to continue after i marry.  it's a means to an end.  i miss the feeling i had during college when i thought i wanted to teach.  the security of knowing what i wanted to do with my life.  without that, i feel lost.  my path has been compromised and i don't know which way to go anymore.  carpe diem.  i want to seize more moments, i want to learn more things. (without going to school) i want to see friends and hang out with my family more.  i feel like the odd and end jobs i will end up working will suck the life out of me, that hours will be spent on the computer and not enjoying the great outdoors.  not that i go out and enjoy them often... and that's a problem!  i should.  the minutes and hours are just passing me by. 
i think i'm going through my quarter-life crisis.  HELP!

oooo!  my friend just offered me tickets to tonight's warrior's game.  she works for southwest, so they have a suite this year too.  wow!  she's luring me with the "free food, free drinks" shbeel.  like i can resist that!  i haven't been to a warriors game since my friend chris took me for my birfday 2 years ago.  that was my first game ever and it was so much fun!  we sat pretty far, but it was a good time still.  i'm suppose to meet my friend dave for dinner tonight, so hopefully i can reschedule with him.  so much to do, so many people i want to see before i head out to hong kong.  :)  lucky i'm off the diet!
