I read somewhere on Tumblr that a girl lost 40 pounds in one month? And people are praising her. I’m sorry, but to me, 40 pounds in one month is … unhealthy.

And I see a lot of pictures of girls with their bones popped out of their body on Tumblr, and getting worshiped. To me, that’s sickening.

I know they might be in their healthy range but to me it’s kind of disturbing.

Plus, I know a lot of younger people are on Tumblr and they’re not getting the right images in their head. They grow up believing bones showing is healthy and that losing 40 pounds a month is healthy … and that is not the case at all.

I do want to get to my healthy weight but if it means my bones will be showing everywhere, I rather not. I don’t want to puncture someone if I accidentally bump into them.

Maybe you guys will say I’m jealous but I don’t want to look that way … ever.

Healthy weight with a little meat on my bones please & thank you.

Back to reading my Business Law book and taking notes! Whoo!

I just took a shower so my hair is all bleugh! But seriously … how thick can that book be?! Ridiculous.

That song has been stuck in my head for a good week now. It’s such a sweet, sweet song. I LOVE duets!

Anyway, I broke my own promise to not buy books for a while. Books like non-school related books. WHOOPS!

I ended up buying 13 books for $48.55. Not too bad if you ask me. It said I saved $50.93 meaning if I had bought these without the sale from Borders, I would be dang poor.

I have realized I’ll rather buy books than clothes. Eeep. That’s not too good. I think people are starting to notice my closet is only t-shirts that you either get for free or from school activities.

I opened up a Baked Flatbread crisps: Four Cheese as a snack. I had a feeling this would be my least favorite out of all the other ones. It smells very cheesy which gets me very queasy and it tastes super cheesy! Surprisingly, it’s not bad at all. Quite delicious! The queasy feeling is gone.

You don’t even need dip for this!! It has enough flavor to hold it’s own!

So far, everything about Flatout Bread has got my heart!

*******************************

There’s a pool party at my apartment going on right now. And I live right next to the pool … like I can see the pool from here. Bleugh! They have speakers everywhere! I don’t know how Jenny sleeps through this!

When I got home last night, there was a paper stuck to my front door.

Sadly the office was long closed for the day.

So I tried my hardest to go to bed.

Woke up and went to my lab. The whole time there all I could think about was the package! I knew it can’t be books because I already have all of them. But I did win a few giveaways.

I knew those won’t come anytime soon since they probably JUST sent them.

Therefore it only leaves me with Lauren from Team Giles with Flatout Bread!

Class ended early … like 30 minutes early! So I ran to the shuttle and got home to pick up my package!

And I was correct!! FLATOUT FREAKING BREAD!!

This is jammed packed! Ah … excited!

Look at all that stuff!!

Here’s what’s inside:

Baked Flatbread Crisps: Four Cheeses, Sea Salt, Garlic Herb, Multigrain
Fold It Artisan Flatbread: Rosemary & Olive Oil, Traditional White, 5 Grain Flax
Flatout Flatbread: Multi-Grain with Flax, Light Italian Herb, The Original
Miscellaneous: A spatula, water bottle, cutting board, recipe book

That is A LOT of stuff for that little box!!

I told my mum I was going to share some with her but uh … is it selfish to say I want it all to myself?! I hope not. I’m a poor college student. I need my bread!

I did what any normal person would. Open these bad babies up and ate it!! I made a little wrap … but not really.

I used the Flaout Flatbread The Original. Put it on my crepe pan. Added cheese, mushrooms, a piece of ham and a little Ranch. Got the cheese hot and melted and there you have it!!

It’s sooo good!! I feel like I’m in heaven. My tummy is so happy right now.

Because I heated up the bread, it became crispy … the right kind of crispy. Not the crumble in your hand kind. Does that make sense?

But if you don’t like it crispy and instead like it soft all you do is put things in! Simple!!

I love it both ways! Mmm … maybe this is a bad idea because I want to try them all NOW!

I cannot wait to try all the other ones!! Ahh! And make little flatout bread pizzas! This is going to be so exciting!!

Thanks Team Giles and Flatout Bread!!

************ Not sure why the whole formatting is weird with the pictures but sorry! I can’t fix them! 🙁

Tomorrow’s my first day of school!! Exciting! Maybe … my first class is Finance and I already want to throw up knowing that.

I never knew how many blogs I’ve been following until these last few days. Given a handful are Tumblrs, therefore they update constantly, but even without those, I have 50+ unread posts every time I open my Google Reader. And I log in at least twice a day now.

Anyway, I’ve been busy catching up on blog posts and I’m loving each and everyone of them! Yes, I read them all!! Not much of the Tumblrs though because there are SO much pictures but blog posts, check!

Today, I woke up at 7am, showered, got ready, and headed on campus. It was our second day of FTK Leadership Challenge Retreat!!

I got to school by 7:45am. In hand was my OOIAJ … just in case the breakfast they serve was not good enough.

Luckily they served breakfast tacos from Bill Miller’s. Mmm … I ate my OOIAJ (because who wastes such good food! plus I’m pretty sure it’s better for me). I couldn’t resist though so I took one Potato, Egg, and Cheese taco. They did a horrible job on wrapping these babies with cheese everywhere. Gross to cheese like that but mmmm to the potato.

 

 

 

 

We then headed into our room and sat in a circle and had reflection.

They gave us a notebook they had made filled with blank papers. They were even personalized with our names!! I covered up my last name.

This is where we write about our thoughts and answer questions that have been asked. And anything else we want to reflect about goes into there.

Questions such as: What gives you spirit? What would or does kill your spirit? What other questions are on your mind? etc. etc.

The title to this post The Front Porch goes along with something we learned today. I’m not going to bore y’all with it but seriously, I love the saying and would love to incorporate that into my home in the future.

Then went into little groups and listened to lectures.

I love when they print out all the slides so I know how close we are to the end.

Is that terrible? Whoops.

One of the advisors for Leadership Challenge/FTK co-wrote a book with a friend of his about leadership.

He gave us our own copy to keep and read if we liked. And he even autographed it!! How sweet!!

I for sure will add this to my list of reading materials.

Why not?

For lunch, they ordered us Papa John’s. Not too healthy but what can you do? Free food is free food. I made sure to pick the ones with the most vegetables! That has to count for something right?

I learned a lot from those 7+ hours of retreat today. Though it was long I can pertain everything I learned to real life things. Stuff like running and staying healthy. It’s going to be a long journey to find my balance with those things and other things in life, but if I sit down and really think about the path I lead and plan it out, I can get there. Slowly but eventually.

I learned so much more, but I won’t bore y’all.

I just really want to remember this day that gave me great memories. I cannot wait to work with everyone to make a difference.

FTK: For The Kids Dance Marathon at UTSA with pediatric cancer. Together we can make a difference. (Cheesy words? … But so true!)

Time to relax … then bed. I’ll let you all know how it goes sometime this week. Peace and love!
