Some goals and rants

There's a sweater in my closet that I'd like to fit into before my 18th birthday.
It's not that attractive but, it holds sentimental value to me. I received it from my oldest sister, A, before she left to live in Virginia. I don't know what size it is because, she cut off the tag so her husband wouldn't know what size she wore. I'm estimating it's a size medium or small. Hopefully, I'll be able to lose 70 pounds in 6 months like Kerri and Casey. My birthday is in July, that's 8 months from now. Let's see, if I lost 70 pounds I'd be....166. 4 pounds off of my weight goal.
Of course, my goal weight isn't based on BMI or my doctor's medical opinion. If it were so, I'd be aiming for 130. Instead, I chose a weight I remember feeling sexy and healthy at.
Golly, I haven't been 170 since I was 11 or 12.
My hot doctor informed me last visit that I was "heart healthy" and only needed to "Shed some excess fat." I also asked him if 130 was where I HAD to be, and informed him of my 40 pounds heavier goal. He told me I was healthy right now and that 170 wouldn't be too overweight.
Good to hear, I must say it was relieving to hear I was going to be okay the way I am.
Man, recently I've been dealing with a load of stress. My sister, M, gave birth to her second child today and well, it's just been hectic. Everyone wants to come see her and the people closest to her. That means my mother, father, brothers, sisters, and ME. "Congratulations! Congratulations!" they echo into my ear, as if this phenomenon has never happened before. I welcome my new niece into the family with open arms and never ending love in my heart but, at some point it all gets a little old. My mother who has been through six births of her own and three births of her six grandchildren acts so stir crazy. "Is that him? is that him? Excuse me, nurse! How is the pregnant woman in room 555 doing? really? I asked this same question not even 5 minutes ago?"
OI CAVAH!!
So, needless to say, I haven't found the time nor the energy t workout in 3 days. And I can feel it. The baby was to be born at 11 am and we arrived at 7:30 am because WE WERE NOT GOING TO MISS THE BIRTH!!! and we didn't.
Holding urine for 6 hours once seemed impossible to me but, today I found out I could do it. We were not allowed to leave the waiting room until my brother-in-law came out and informed us if the baby had been born or not.
Pain in the brain, y'all.
Anyway, sorry about the explosion rant you just witnessed there. On Monday, November 7, I WILL START MY NEW EXERCISE REGIMEN!!
THIS I SWEAR!!!

Stay Fit,

Sarah

Moooooviiinnnnnngggg.................

Hey there folks, I've got some, uh, I guess news. It's good news for me but, it's news for you guys.

Anyhoo, We're (My family and I) moving to a new house with 2 acres and a 1 1/2 story house with a basement. Sounds cool, no? It's a really nice house, with low hanging light fixtures you run into! (See picture #2) It was built in the 1920's and has a lot of nice architecture. Just an all around awesome abode.

Now, during this move, I know I'll be burning a lot of calories walking up and down stairs, hauling beds around, and dancing with joy when it's all done. BUT, you know what I SEE here? A CHANCE TO BURN EVEN MORE CALORIES!! If I say, do one of my workouts in the morning, and then work like a crazed animal to move in, then do a relaxing yet strenuous yoga session at the end, I will be in PEAK condition.

Imagine me sweaty and built like the Govenator, then, put Jennifer Aniston's hair on me and add that dress Kate Winslet wore to the Oscars in 2009 and PRESTO! You've got my dream me on a piece of paper! I can see it now, a measuring tape that reads under 40".

We've been eating alot of meals homemade which is good, but I've still gained some weight. 2 lbs. to be exact. One dish that's really delicious is called like, couscous supper or something like that. I'll post the recipe so you guys can try it. I guarantee you will love it.

Or at least, not completely hate it.

Just once I want to be the hot girl!!

Woe is me. I'm looking for a new style and look for my hair. Really, I'm just looking for a new color.
Anyway, I really am beginning to hate hanging out with my friends who make attractiveness sound like a curse. Puh-Leese! I'd love to feel like the hot chick in the group of friends instead of the fat one or the 'mother hen'. Cat calls and flirting? how is that soo bad? it's hard to talk to the girl who's only been hit on like, three times in her entire LIFE.
Oi Gevalt!
For example, one of my friends said she was at McDonald's ordering lunch when she noticed the guy next to her was texting "Hot chick standing next to me".
I wanted to ask "Where is said McDonalds?" but instead replied "What an A-Hole!".

I can't talk about this anymore! Let's move on!

So, tomorrow I begin my exercise program with my Mom, brother, and sister.
I'll be doing Pilates, James Bond workout, and boot camp/cardio/aerobics.
Needless to say, I'm psyched.
I'll be exercising from 6am to 8am. By myself from 6 til 7, with my Mom from 7 til 7:30, and from 7:30 til 8 with my brother, Dan.
Then around 1 or 2 o' clock in the afternoon, I'll workout with my sister. It's a good thing I love moving around so much.
My goal is to be 15 to 20 lbs. lighter when I go in for my physical in October. That's roughly 4 months away, so let's say I lose 5 lbs. a month, I should be good to gizo.
I have a super hot doctor, and I know this'll make him at least show some emotion.
(I don't think I'd actually like to go out with this Doc, -besides the fact that it's against the law-he's always super monotone and boring!)
200 is the number I'm aiming for at the end of this year. Then, 2010, I want to get down to 170 to 150.
Hopefully, losing it slow and easy will help me retain some of my non-loose skinness. I don't want to have any plastic surgery in my life, so, I want to make sure I keep things nice 'n toned up.

Anydangway, if you've got any tips on how to keep things toned, please email me at:
