My name is Tierra…

One more day left of the old Tierra. One more day of eating whatever I want. Starting tomorrow morning, I will be on a strict diet of oatmeal, carrots, chicken, broccoli, lean cuisines, and protein shakes. Oh and no soda. I don’t drink a lot of soda but sometimes I just crave a coke. Also, instead of taking the metro home from work, I am going to walk/run 4 times a week. It’s a little over 3 miles.

I’ve decided that yes, I have a gut. I don’t really have small hips either so a little pudge around the middle is going to remain. But my boobs…I swear, if they weren’t so ginormous, I would not look so busty! The trick is going to be losing weight in my chest and my face. I think that is where I gain my weight first, is my chest. It’ll be tough but I’m excited to start!

I’ll keep everyone updated but say goodbye to the old Tierra. I’ll post some before and after pictures at the end of this journey.

Okay the holidays are over. I’d like to think I didn’t gain any weight but I can guarantee you that I didn’t lose any. I don’t really believe in “New Years Resolutions” because everyone breaks them and it’s pointless to only set a one year goal. I’ve been rather unhappy with my appearance for the last year. I looked at pictures of my when I was a freshman in college and DAMN I LOOKED GOOD. Even then though, I wasn’t satisfied with my appearance.

Well today, I’ve decided I am going to change my appearance. I looked into a personal trainer and it’s like $2,000 a month! $2,000 a month! I think I’ll just try working out some more and eating healthier before I throw down that kind of money! Hell I could have lipo for a little more money and I wouldn’t have to anything but go under the knife and let them stick a tube in me!

So starting Monday, because weekends are hard to start new lifestyles, I am going to go on a Nazi regiment of eating healthier and working out 3-4 times a week. The goal: 20 pounds in 8 weeks. That means by March 12th, I need to weigh 120 lbs. Yes folks, I’m packing 140 right now. No pizza hut, no potbelly, no Good Stuff, NOTHING! I have no excuse. Election season is over, I don’t need to work 50 hours a week, I can do this.

I encourage all my friends who are unhappy with their lives to make a change also! The 60 day challenge begins Monday! I’ll update you as I go.

Monday was suppose to be my first day back in the office but I received a special project that put me out of the office until today. I played catch up with everything and now everything is back to normal.

Tonight’s game plan: Movie marathon! I have Sex and the City and Pineapple Express.

Don’t really have anything interesting going on…so today’s post will be short.

Ciao!

Update: Totally forgot The Office is back on tonight! Scratch movie marathon!

Update 2: So apparently there is NO NEW OFFICE TONIGHT! WTF! There is a new My Name is Earl, Kath and Kim, and ER but NO NEW OFFICE! Grrr. Movie marathon back on.

2008 is gone and it’s time to reflect on some of its highlights in no particular order.

- Vegas: I didn’t just go once…or twice. I went THREE times in 2008.

-DC: I moved to DC. Twice. It’s been interesting to say the least. The weather sucks…some of the people suck but I like being around like minded people. (cough: Republicans)

- College: I graduated from UCSD over the summer. Can’t say I’m going to miss the student body but I’m already missing the weather and the beach!

- Job: I landed a job pre-graduation that is in a field I love. It’s not long term but has been a great start to a career in politics.

-Christmas: I went home over the holidays and it felt sssooo good to be home! I missed my family and my friends a lot.

Ciao 2008! It’s been real! Hopefully 2009 won’t disappoint!

Yesterday was the longest day of my life. I seriously did NOTHING all day because EVERYTHING was closed, except the 24 hour CVS. I couldn’t wait for it to end. Today was day two of me waking up past 1 pm. Not good. I go back to work Monday where I need to be awake and coherent by 8 am.

No formal plans today. I need to look up the Charger game tomorrow. It probably won’t be shown on the local channels so we’ll have to travel to a bar and sit in uncomfortable wooden chairs for 3 hours. Sigh.

Update: Apparently all playoff games are aired nationally. So we’ll be watching the Chargers from home at 8 pm est!
