Just a Quickie

Just wanted to post a quick blog, since it's been quite a while. I haven't really had much to talk about lately...nothing too special going on right now.

We had an earthquake yesterday, which tested my nerves a bit. Usually I am asleep during these things, not walking around Whole Foods buying my lunch. The items falling off of the shelf made me a little nervous, but what better place to get stuck during an earthquake, right? God forbid we were trapped there, we'd have food to last us a very long time. I am just glad everyone is ok.

On another note, I have been dieting very strictly for the past week and a half. The diet I was doing for the past 2 months was not showing me any results except for weight gain. So, I decided to step it up a notch. I have been riding my exercise bike at least 2 miles every night when I get home from work and I have been staying away from most carbs. I do eat brown rice alot, but I don't feel guilty about that. So far, I am down 4.3 pounds. I have just a little over 8 pounds to go. If I dont get this weight off before our cruise in September, I know that I wont be able to enjoy myself. Considering I gained almost 10 pounds on the last cruise I took, I cannot let that happen to me again - especially at my current weight.

Aside from that, there isn't really much else to tell. Sorry for the lack of updates...but I haven't had it in me lately. I'll try harder, I promise =)
