Dress to Impress

Work the hallway like a runway ^_^

Always dress to impress, even when there really isn't anyone to impress. I have noticed that when I put more effort into my wardrobe, I tend to feel better and more confident. Always work the hallway like a runway :)

How I Lost 40+ Pounds

I have never been a skinny person nor have I ever qualified for one that is anything below overweight. This past summer, I lost over 40 pounds and I continue to lose more every week. The first step in the weight loss process was not exercise or eating less. The first step was actually accepting myself for all that makes up my awesomeness. Because I loved myself so much, I began to do things that made me happy like traveling and hanging out with my friends. The weight began to slowly fall off at this point. Then, I actually put more effort in increasing my exercise and eating meals that I actually want. This was also very encouraging for weight loss. Conveniently, I started university which is much larger than my previous institution;the walk I had to take to get to my institution increased as well. Thus, smoothly transitioning me into this required daily three mile walk. At this point, I had already lost about 30 pounds, but after about three weeks of this new exercise regimen, I lost an additional 10 pounds. Notice how I never really had to alter my the amount of calories I consumed because the increase in  my daily activity outnumbered the amount of calories I ate.

Tips:

• Get Busy
• The mind won't have time to think about food when you have so many other projects to complete.

• Avoid "100 Calorie Snacks"
• People tend to eat multiple of these snacks assuming that they are only eating 100 calories.  It's easier if the person were to just eat what he or she wants, as to quickly nullify the urge to eat food.
• Listen to  Your Body
• The body sends signals to the mind to tell it to stop eating. If one eats to fast or ignores these signals,  he or she is over eating and essentially abusing his or her body.  
• Don't Set Goal Weights, Just Set Goals
•  I set a goal to be happy and pursuing that goal made the weight loss soooo much easier. Setting a weight goal can cause unnecessary anxiety on the body and make it harder to lose weight.

Coding ^_^

I can code!! I really wanted to add social media icons to my main page so I turned to everyone's friendly tool (Google) and inquired information regarding coding social media icons to a blog. After reading four different articles, attempting for three hours, and consulting one coding professor, I finally got it. I finally achieved my goal of being able to add customized icons to my blog. I'm so proud of myself. With that being said, respect must be paid to the people who do this on a regular basis. Coding is difficult and requires special attention to detail. It also requires special people who are patient and intelligent.

Don't forget to check out my social media icons ^_^

Teaching to Think

I have had a lot of professors in the past, but only one has has actually succeeded in teaching a student how to think. That is, until today. Today, my English professor assigned us a task of writing an illustrative essay meditating on a single letter and how it relates to life. The point of the essay is to fulfill a more general thesis. In other words, we're supposed to have a focused mildly rambling essay centered on a letter and make sure that it all ties into the thesis. The entire class decides to protest to this new concept, but frankly, I really like it. It's rare that I am able to share a deep piece in this type of format and be academically praised for it. It's important not to just rely on school to educate, but to also rely on real world experiences, because with all the standardization of traditional schooling, no one will ever learn to think. I take this moment to recognize the professors who challenge their students to actually think.
