Bon Voyage!

So it's been 10 days since my last post, I've been busy preparing for my cruise and today it's finally here! 1st cruise ever! hope it's fun.

I'm going to visit Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Dominican Republic & Haiti! So yea i woke up at 5am to free up room on my camera. Will be taking tons of pics!

P.S. I made some brownies yesterday for the bus ride =)

Any good books to read?

heading on a cruise in about a week and need a good read for the bus ride to the boat besides just magazines. college left like no time for leisurely reading, smh. i always loved read growing up and during my elementary and middle school years i think i ordered books from the Scholastic Book Club orders basically every time it came out! i credit reading at night with only thelight from the hallway dimly entering my room to the reason i started wearing glasses in high school, i am near-sighted.

now that i've graduated from college i can return to leisurely reading. i would love some suggestions of books i should look into. so far on my list are:

• Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer
• Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

Reagan Gomez tweeted me =)

Eat Pray Love

So, the other night I watched the movie Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts as . It was okay. However, just now as I wrote this post's title I realized Roberts' character, Liz, eats in Italy, prays in India, and finds love in Bali. In that order.

I've decided to come up with a list of countries for my own Eat Pray Love journey someday. Just for fun. But so far all I can come up with is Italy (eat), Israel (pray), and well I do want to visit Greece but love can find me anywhere (no limits for love). I didn't want to use Italy like in the movie but I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd like to eat. I love pasta/Italian food.

Where would you like to go eat, pray, or find love?

& the countdown begins...

So, I'm goin on a Caribbean cruise on June 30th =) Yea, I'm excited, never have i ever been on a cruise on before. So as preparation my friend and I are going walking & building up to running on the track at the high school by my house in the mornings. Today was our first day, it was rather nice. We walked 7 laps for 31 mins. We also walked there and back. My friend walked a little bit longer because she lives about 3 blocks farther from me.

Trying to get rid of some stomach fat xp before the cruise, so we're also watching what we eat. Like for example after the walk and a shower i had a slice of whole wheat bread with some natural peanut butter for some protein and a little strawberry spread. Also, got some Light & Fit yogurt that i'm eating at the moment, lol. It's peach, tastes so good. Yesterday, I got some healthy snacks at the supermarket with my mother like the yogurt, along w/ green grapes, and granola bars.

I was thinking of not drinking (I don't drink like that anyway, kinda rarely), however there are events like every weekend this month. This Saturday is my lil bro's (neighbor) graduation from highschool BBQ across the street, then the 18th is a friend's 21st bday BBQ, then the 25th is a wedding renewal/babyshower (I haven't picked which one i want to go to yet lol). But you see what I mean. As long as I'm good the other days of the week, everything should be fine.

I usually lose some weight during the summer because i don't eat as much as during the school year, but that's just bad eating habits like sleeping in late and eating my first meal in the afternoon. Anywhoo, I hope to see results by the cruise and to stay on track.

Hope you guys have a healthy summer =)
