Heey!! Hope you all had wonderful weekends!!!! I sure did, but mine was really busy! Our usual August group is here now, so we spent some time with them over the weekend! Saturday we had a big welcome to Brasil dinner, and yesterday we went to church in the evening! My school starts on Wednesday, and my sister's has already started, so we wanted to try to spend some time with the group while we could! What did you do this weekend?
Another thing that I did was attempt to make my first ever vlog. I used my computer's webcam, but for some reason, blogger would not upload my video! I just kept getting tons of error messages! Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on what I should do to make my vlogs work in the future?
Before I go, there's one serious thing that I want to talk about from my Chicago experience. Actually, it has nothing to do with Chicago, but it was something that I needed to really pay attention to while I was there. As I've mentioned before, I don't deal well with stress. Instead of being a stress eater, I just don't eat. Lose my appetite completely. In fact, last time I went through a major transition (moving back here from the US), I lost every bit of the weight that I had worked for about 5 months to gain. That was almost 10 lb, by the way. So, one of the biggest things that I worried about before my trip was how I was going to deal with transition. Especially since I'd pretty much be in transition the entire time, first going to Memphis, then road-tripping it to Chicago, and finally flying back home. I am very happy to report that, though I did lose some weight, it was only a fraction of what I lost last time. 2 pounds. My ultimate goal was to not lose any weight, but since I did lose some, I'm soooooo glad that there was such an improvement over last time! So encouraging! Maybe the next time that I go through a transitional phase I won't lose any weight at all!!!!
So finally, I wanted to thank all of you guys for being there and actually sticking with me! I've loooved blogging and have :met: a bunch of awesome people! I also want to thank anyone that I actually know who is reading this.....I've been sooo blessed to have you in my life! :D
Has blogging helped keep you accountable for anything?
What was the reason that you began to blog?
Does anyone that you know read your blog?
Well, that's about all I've got for today! See you again soon! :D
Sounds like a nice weekend! Crazy that school starts so soon! Great job on the weight improvement from the last trip. I upload all of my VLOGs on youtube and then embed them in my posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually a stress eater, but I can relate to the stress NOT eating too. During my doctoral dissertation and defense I dropped about 12 lbs in 2 months from pure stress and lack of sleep. I was literally working 16 hours a day and was doing little else. Good for you for coming so close to your goal!
ReplyDeleteI started blogging as a way to record my recipes. My sister would call me all the time and ask me about certain recipes and she finally convinced me to start a blog!
