To Be Loverly
I dream. I bake. I create. I write.
Above all else...
I LOVE.

I have exactly 7 weeks until my best friends wedding. So starting monday april 2nd… it is good buy sweets, soda, and anything else that could possibly make me not look like a rockstar of a bridesmaid. Last time I was in a wedding I was at my heaviest and I hate that when Jessica looks back at those pictures I was such a mess. I will not make the same mistake again. I have been working out, but taken a small break from it because I pulled a muscle one day while I was out running.. that’s what I get for not warming up. But tomorrow I am back to the gym and I have my 5k on saturday. I am nervous and excited. I know that this is just going to be fun. I am not going to kill myself over it. If I need to walk I will walk. If I run and it hurts I will push forward until I can not anymore. I just need to get lots of rest and hydrate and make sure that I stretch and warm up so that I don’t injure myself.

Leap Day
It marked the start of a journey that I know will be a long one, but one that will be worth it. I have joined a gym. Worked out the past two days. So sore it hurts to move, let alone breathe. But it is good. Good that I have finally legitimately made the progressive steps to change my life. I want to to someday get dressed and simply feel beautiful. I want to look in the mirror and be happy with me. I want to feel like I could let someone love me bc I love myself. It’s been so hard these past five years or so, alone and unhappy. I don’t want to stay stuck and continue to be afraid of meeting someone or afraid of simply living life. I know I’ve written at least 5 blogs similar to this in the last two and a half years since I’ve had my tumblr. This time… It’s for good. This time is the last time. This is for me.
What do you do when the guy you’ve had a mild crush on since you met him years ago decides to talk to you? I am a mess, and I am not quiet sure what to do with that considering that I have a reasonable crush on a complete stranger 2500 miles away. I am seriously considering the promise I made myself when I was little. That if I am not married or in a relationship by 27 I am becoming a nun. I do look decent in black and white :)
“If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.” - Robert Pattinson
Still alive
The last two weeks have been crazy and the next week will be even more so. I pretty much fall in love with baking everyday just a little bit more. It’s fun and amazing to do with others… Plus who can be sad when you lick the spoon after making a fresh batch of coconut pudding? Yum.
I’ve started planning out my life. And it makes me nervous but so at peace at the same time. I am going to start baking pies and such out of my house for friends. Just practicing recipes. I want to get better and if school isn’t quite an option yet, I still get to do what I love.
I am still trying to keep these new years resolutions. I have been saving money and it’s been the only resolution I have kept to. The working out took a back seat for the past week and a half. But it’s back.. And that’s all that matters.
I almost crossed a big thing off a bucket list but I am at peace that I won’t be going to Ireland and Paris in two weeks. It took a lot to be smart an reasonable that this just wasn’t the best time to go. But by the end of the year I hope to go to Ireland. It is a big dream so I didn’t want to rush it and miss what I really wanted to see and do.
I’ve also signed up to do a 5k at the end of march. I am so excited and super nervous at the same time. I can’t run, and plus it seems like I will be doing it alone which kinda sucks but I’ve gotta be okay with that too. It seems like I do most everything alone these days. I don’t have to many people around these days that care to have me around.. So I have to be at peace with doing things alone.
So that in a nutshell is my life. Still
Living.. Still Dreaming.. Still Baking.. And above all else.. Still Loving.
I straight up laughed out loud

The Year of Crazy Dreams?
I have had the most ridiculous, if not insane dreams in the last 10 days. I am hoping that 2012 is not going to continue trending this way.
oh ps.. I HAVE LOST 10 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited. The end.
Poor liver
I am soo sorry that I tried to clean you. Please just help me to feel better.
Sincerely,
The rest of Elizabeth’s sick body
8 down
Whoo who!!! I have officially lost 8 lbs all by myself. Nothing crazy just a little exercise, eating better, and drinking water. I even had a cupcake yesterday (pb& jelly I could no longer resist). I think I’ll treat myself once a month to a yummy treat, so that I will feel like I can still enjoy the sweeter things in life. So today and tomorrow I am doing a liver cleanse and I’m kinda nervous. But I know it will help my metabolism which appears to be slower then I’d like. So here’s to 8lbs down and a clean liver.. Happy Monday!!
“ want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are. ”
