A new Journey

*Sigh* I feel like I’m failing myself. I keep gaining weight, or at least it feels like it. I feel like I  am constantly choking, I feel like I can’t walk up a flight of steps with out getting out of breath. It’s like every time I try to loose weight something happens with my health and sets me back. Ugh I just want to loose weight. I just want to be healthy. I don’t want to be fat anymore. 

Thats it by this time 2015 i will be at least 50lbs lighter, this is a minimum my max will be 100lbs. I’m so tired of this. I might be taking a break from tumblr s0 that I can focus on me and my school and not on social networking. I’ve gotta get myself better. 

I started with MyFitness Pal and I also started my own chart in excel for my food and weight. This is going to happen. Nothing is going to stop me this time. I am so done with being unhappy with myself. This year is actually going to be different. 

Not only is this going to be a weight loss journey but this is going to be a journey for me to get closer to God. I have fallen away from him, if you haven't noticed.  This Journey is not just going to be a weight loss journey, but a spiritual journey as well as an art journey.  I  really want to get closer to God this year, andI know that it will be the best thing for me. I'm going to be 100% honest about everything on here. What I eat, do, read, say and think. I will try and do it everyday. I know there is a possibility that I wont make it everyday, but it's worth a shot.

When I say this is going to be an art journey, I mean once a week, probably at the end of each weak, I will make a drawing, painting, sketch, poem, just something to express feelings and what not.

I love myslef, and this is why I am doing this. Not because of what people say about me, but because I want to be healthy. 

Starting Over

Well hello there. It's been a while. I really apologize about that. School got kinda crazy; I didn't realize how busy it was going to be. Well I'm home for break now, so I'm going to updating a little more. So lets get started.

Since I've been home I've been having a terrible migraine headache. It sucks, I literally can't do anything at all.  Light bothers me sound bothers me and I can't work out. Which really sucks because during the weeks leading up to finals week and finals week I basically ate stuff out of the vending machines and pizza, and I didn't work out not once for three weeks. So yes i've gained basically every pound I have ever lost. I'm back up to 320 ( i actually cried myself to sleep last night). Turns out that my blood sugar numbers were elevated, so now I have no choice but to loose weight.

So here is my plan. Even though I have a miserable headache i'm going to push through and just start working out again. There is a girl that I follow on tumblr, she is a dancer as well as a college student, her blog is called Back on Pointe. She posts  a lot of different exercises. I actually found her through Pinterest; a lot of the work outs that she posted were being posted on Pinterest.  Today as i was hating the light and being lazy, I came across her December Calendar and work out regiment.

 These are the calendars right here. On the tumblr page she has different workouts to do on the different days.  I'm really excited to start this. I figured that I could walk a mile or two, stretch and than do what Is planned for the day. Since I'm just starting back up the I might do the Beginner edition. If it is to easy, I'll just move onto the regular one.  So yes this is what I will be starting this on Sunday. I know, I know I am a week late but better late than never right?

I will be posting every exercise that I do. I will hopefully be walking everyday even if I can not handle the extra workouts. Also I have so many different workouts to do once I get back into the swing of things. Obviously they are all on my Weight Loss/ Inspiration board on Pinterest. So ya, you should all check that out. If I do one of those instead of what is provided I will post it here.


I don't have much to say about anything else, mostly because I hate spoilers and I don't know how many of my readers or family or friends have watched the 50th anniversary of Doctor who. So ya, thats about it.  Hope your holidays are grand and exciting.

Love Always

Scripture of the Day: Hebrews 1:10-12

10 And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
    like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are the same,
    and your years will have no end.”

Fall Fest

So my computer is still in the shop. :( So my posts for the next few days might be really simple and short. I'm not really in the mood right now to be doing this. I can't make friends, my roommate is annoying me, and I just want like some guys to hang out with. Like I just want to go back to being "one of the guys". Sweet Briar took that from me. :/ It's weird, like i'm use to being around guys, but at the same time I have not been around so many at one time in like forever. I just want my friends. UGH!!

I like it here, I was able to make two friends today so that's good. I also have signed up to get information on some clubs, which I'm excited about. I also possibly ran into some cosplayers that my friend is like obsessing over. So i'm exctied about that.

Clubs I signed up for

Cosplay
RUF
Furries
Humans vs Zombies
Disney
Serve
Scad's version of Glow
some others i can't remember off the top of my head

So ya i shouldn't be bored any more. Well i'm off to finish my drawings :)

Love Always

So Far So Good

So the first week of classes has officially started. Well it started on Monday, but Monday and Tuesday were kind of like "orientation" days; getting to know your teachers, and class mates kind of thing. The only class that I actually started learning something in was my Art History class, only because we didn't need art supplies for that class. I can already tell that this is going to be an interesting 10 weeks. I love my teachers; they all seem chill and laid back, but I can tell they are going to be hard graders. You know that wont be a problem becasue I've got to keep my grades up so I can keep these scholarships.

Now you may be asking yourself, "How does Sarah Anndrea, have the time to be blogging right now?" To answer your question, I don't, but I made a committment to myself saying that I will update this thing at least once or twice a week, if not every day. Since the computer I am on is taking for ever to load powerpoint, I figured why not make an entry to the Mind of Sarah Anndrea. (Oh and by the way I'm going by both names now, first and middle. For all of you who always wondered what they
"A" stands for that's it. There are so many Sarah's here, so don't be surprised if I come home and I just want to be called by my middle name. ) So ya I only have 3 classes, but they are all 5 credit hours which means I should be spending 15 hours a week on each class. Since they are all 2.5 hours long twice a week, that's 5 hours towards the 15.

Well powerpoint has finished loading my homework, so I guess this is all for today. I have so much more to talk about though! I will keep updating you all and posting some of my work. It wont be for a few days though, becasue my computer is in the shop. *shrugs* When I finally get it back, I will post the first part of each project I'm doing. Hope you all have a great night, keep me in your prayers.

Love Always

SCAD!!!

Well I finally made it to SCAD. Spent the first night in my dorm last night. It was very interesting, hot and cold to say the least, and I mean that quiet literally. I love my room mate to death she is a wonderful girl and we have like everything in common, it's wonderful. We like the same temperature of rooms, we like sort of the same music, and we lie the same colors. Everything should be just dandy.

My dorm is awesome, mostly because it's right next to the school gym, so my weight loss can still happen while i'm here. It's right next to the civic center so if there is a concert I'll know about it. It's in the heart of Savannah and it's in the middle of all of the academic buildings. There is a bus system so I don't have to worry about getting to my classes late. I'm only about two blocks from Broughten street, which is like the main shopping street. It's got like thrift stores, comic shops, game stores, resteraunts, Blick, there is everything you can think of. I'm not to far from River street, but i don't think i'll be going down that way a lot. Mostly because i'm not legal to drink so there really is no point in me going there, except for the Candy store. :D

I will be posting an entry more about the move in process tomorrow, since I litterally just finished moving everything in tonight. There will be pictures and everything. Well a before and after  picture. I am so excited to be here, but also terrified and nervous. I've never done change well, and this is a huge change.  There are multiple people here at the school that have my back already.

Now all there is to do is get through my classes. *takes a deep breath* I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
