Stacia Wins The Super Bowl

↑ = Lol.

I suddenly thought of the time I was walking to a basketball game with Abcde, Julie, and Stash; we were arguing about football teams, who would win the super bowl and such...this is roughly how the conversation went. I might have gotten people mixed up but whatever:

Julie: "The packers are stupid."

Mad: "Whatever. You're just afraid they're gonna win."

Abbey: "They're both stupid!!"

Mad: "Packers!"

Julie: "Steelers!"

Stash: "STACIA!!"

Bahahah. The girl never fails to brighten my day.

So the reason I'm ACTUALLY posting is because I'm about to embark on a long and treacherous journey. I will endure trials of both mental and physical strength, and it will take a long-ass time. Who knows how I will have changed in the end.

That's right. This bitch is going to get in shape.

This is a new thing for me, having not been in shape for SO long. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I could run without feeling out of breath. I've always had more than a little healthy jiggle, and I'm honestly tired of spending most of my evenings sitting on my arse watching crime dramas and BET. Something's got to change, yo. And it's got to change now.

I went to the WRC (UNI's version of the Y) tonight and used the elliptical for half an hour, burning 225 calories and going a total distance of 2 miles. I sweat more than a hooker in a church, it was disgusting. I probably smelled horrid...the smell of success. However small a success it was, it was still a success!

Gotta stay positive here...*insert Xena war cry*

Yeah. I'm setting a personal goal to do that every day, and bump it up gradually so I'm constantly being pushed. I need more of that in my life.

I've been drinking a crap ton of water, too. Apparently that's good. Also, I'm cutting out fried foods, and I'm not gonna snack so much. Watching my calories, etc. Baby steps...I'll be updating my progress weekly.

Hopefully this works and helps me :)

Dr. McCandless moved me up to 3.5 reeds...for all you non woodwind players out there, Vandoren reeds come in 5 strengths, ranging from 2 (the softest and least resistant) to 4 (the hardest and most resistant). I've played on 3's since I started clarinet my freshman year at WHS, and apparently I've gotten waaaaaay too comfortable with them. Because these new reeds are hell on a stick.

I'm getting a bit better on them, but right now, it's taking for freaking ever and I'm severely PO'ed. Moving up a strength in reeds is like getting your braces adjusted, or getting used to sleeping on a new piercing..you hate it for a good while, but you've got to remember why you're doing it and why it's worth it.

Pissssssss...I wish I could speed up the process though.
