76 Days

Hiiii!!!! It has been 76 days since I last posted on here. So much has happened since my last post and I have no idea where to begin. I have not been able to get to sleep before 2am for this past 4 nights so I don't know why I thought tonight would be any different - I don't know what's going on!? But I have felt inspired tonight and thought I would update all of you :) - not that anyone really reads this blog because I don't really put it out there haha

I am currently listening to Kenny G and I absolutely love it! My parents had KG cds when I was younger and the only one I liked was the Christmas album but his music is really good and relaxing :)

I will be a bride in 46 days!!! It is coming so quickly and I could not be more excited! I picked up my dress last week and I cannot wait to wear it on June 7th! There is still so much left to do though - Matt and I went over to my parents today and all we got done was mulching the flower beds and the stand for the glasses - there was a whole list of things to do but we just ran out of time. I am going to have to start going over there on all my days off or days that I do not work right smack in the middle of the day! I have been working on a playlist for the wedding and that's easy and hard all at the same time. I think I will add a couple Kenny G songs ;-) My best friend and Maid of Honor is throwing me a bridal shower on May 17th - I am super excited about that! 

SCHOOL - this is the reason that I have not posted because I do not even know where to begin explaining this but ya know what?! I don't really need to...I'll just give a nutshell - I was really stressed out with taking 5 classes, working full time, trying to spend time with Matt, and trying to plan a wedding and I ended up in the hospital with my blood pressure being 200/some # over 100 (normal being 120/80) - I had not taken my BP medication for about 2 weeks for some reason I don't even know. I just didn't. And boy did that doctor make me feel two feet tall. So...I ended up withdrawing from all 5 classes (Victimology, Corrections, Counseling, Developmental Psychology, Sociology) - I was stupid for taking all those classes in the first place thinking I could do all that and work full time and plan a wedding. Nope. I already have a problem with stress without planning a wedding. I have already registered for classes for the fall though :) 

Let's see...what else has been going on since February 3rd...I had gone to the doctor a couple of days after my hospital visit (which I will add that it took them hours and 3 medications later to get my BP to go down) and my doctor said that I HAVE to lose weight soon or I am going to be on her worry list. She wanted me to lose 10lbs by the beginning of May and well, it's almost the beginning of May - I have been eating a lot better but nowhere near perfect and I have such a hard time on the weekends :( I also have not been working out like she has instructed me to do multiple times. I just cannot seem to bring myself to do it. I swear, I use to be so active but the past year to a year and half I have just have gotten so inactive and well...lazy. And now that I am not in school I do have time to be active but it's bringing myself to be active - I literally will sit there or stand there and cannot bring myself to get up and moving - WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? When I make a to do list, I keep putting on there to be active for a constant 30 mins (keeping my heartbeat up like my doctor has told me) - but I never am able to check that off of my to do list. When I am at work I can bust some tail but at home it's like my body goes into relax mode. I am thinking about getting C4 - I had used it before and boy does it get you moving!!! I am going to try to get to GNC tomorrow - I also want to try a Quest Bar everyone is talking about in the world of iifym, so maybe I will pick up a couple of them but I have a feeling they will be quite expensive! 

Well, I am going to TRY to get some sleep now - I did take a meletonin so hopefully it will kick in soon. There is more that I want to write but just not quite sure how I want to say it. Wait, let me try. My whole entire world is Matt. I am so in love and wouldn't have it any other way but I feel like I need other things in my life as well - I need hobbies and or other passions. 

I will leave on that note - but I will explain more later when I can get all my thoughts together :)

With love, 
Krista Marie 

P.s. Matt's new nickname for me is Chickpea :) DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FAT IS IN 4 table spoons of hummus?? It is like 60g!!!!!!!!! Let's just say I have not touched hummus other than using it as a spread on my tomato sandwich since the day I ate those 4 table spoons with celery and then was still left eating a few pieces of celery alone. Goodness gracious (I have been trying the iifym thing - I'll let you know how I feel about it soon!) 

GOODNIGHT xo

Happy Monday!

Good morning sunshines! It is a Monday and it’s going to be a wonderful Monday, I will make sure of it! I stayed up working on my homework last night till about 1:30ish and then tossed and turned for quite a while (stressing) and then I was up at about 6am this morning.


I was looking back at my older facebook pictures and thought ‘...and I thought I was fat back then!?!?!?’ I was sooo little back even a year and half ago - WHAT HAPPENED?! I got comfortable and started eating a lot and eating SWEETS thanks to my Matthew! We started our healthier eating yesterday! We went to the grocery store and actually got a bunch of natural/organic healthy-ish foods for $144!!!! I couldn't believe it! Last night we had potatoes and homemade berry ice cream that was YUMMY and so simple! Just a frozen banana, some frozen strawberries and blackberries, and a little bit of almond milk all blended up!


I am so super swamped with homework these days. I had a week where I wasn’t feeling well at all and I got so behind on my school work so now that I am feeling better, I am playing KETCHUP! hehe I am only supposed to work 30 hours during school and my boss scheduled me 37 and I’m like WHAT!?!? but I am just trying to be thankful that I have a job because there are people out there who don’t. I keep telling myself to just stay calm and go with the flow :)


I have a new favorite soda! It’s S. Pellegrino Sparking Natural Mineral Water :) It’s going to take the place of Dr.Pepper and to be honest, when drinking it out of a bottle it kind of reminds me of drinking beer - so it feels refreshing :) No dizziness or hangovers! hehe :)


I AM IN A REALLY GOOD MOOD FOR SOME REASON!!!!!! or maybe I am just loopy from a lack of sleep :)


I really need to get back on my homework and then I want to clean the bedroom and POSSIBLY the closet but we’ll see how much time I have before I have to be at work.

HAPPY MONDAY YAWL <3



Happy Monday!
