  • Had my French class today, it wasn't bad. I was a little rusty though after Spanish for 3 months straight, lol. Ugh, not looking forward to having to get back to Chinese next year either... I'm gonna be so behind, I need to study and catch up again.

    I'm tired, gotta get up early for class, so I'll probably make this a quick one.

    I ate exactly all my points today lol. I played Wii Fit for a while which is SO much fun, and I know not an AMAZING workout, but it's something. And I hula hooped for a little while, watching Biggest Loser and... AMERICAN IDOL! Yes, my favorite show... glad it's back on now. :)

    I have decided not to weigh myself until my next WW meeting because that way I will have an accurate, consistent measure, and won't be discouraged by fluctuation.

    Also, I discovered there is a nifty Weight Watchers app for the iTouch, and it's very nice! You can track your points on it if you're signed up with WW online, and you can calculate point values. :) Very convenient when I went grocery shopping with my mom tonight!

    Alright, gotta wake up in six and a half hours, ew. Goodnight ladies, glad to see some of you are still reading and I'll try to catch up a little on you guys' blogs tomorrow!!

  • Helllllllllooooooooooooooooooo!! =o

    Wow! I don't know if anyone actually still reads my blog since I have been on super hiatus!! As was commented on my last blog entry, I went to an anime convention and never came back! Hahaha. But in all reality I don't know why I stopped blogging, hmm.

    I am about 10 pounds heavier than I was when I stopped blogging. I spent the last 3 months in Spain. It was cool but also really lame because I had no friends there and couldn't go out and do anything. Also my backpack (containing my iPod, wallet, prescription sunglasses, cord for my laptop, and more) was stolen. D: And then I fell and hurt my knee on a bridge and had to go to the emergency room. Poo.

    I might post some pictures later if you guys show an interest in seeing them... :)

    Anyhow, I'm back. I'll try to get back into blogging regularly. I am back on Weight Watchers as of today. If you don't know, I lost about 30 - 40 pounds on Weight Watchers my senior year in high school but have gained more than that back now. I'm actually going to meetings this time (went to my first one today). Hopefully it will help motivate me a little bit. We'll see. Unfortunately my mom did not want to go, boo. But I found the guts to just go by myself.

    Today I stayed in my points, I had one half a point left at the end of the day lol.
    And I did the weighted hula hoop for half an hour while I watched Me or the Dog.

    Classes started today (back here in Michigan now). They weren't bad. I have a very easy schedule this semester. Just 12 credits, classes from 9 - 12 on MWF and one class from 2:30 - 3:45 on TTh. I'm thinking of applying for a job too since I have an easy schedule to work with. I have Criminal Justice 101, Fundamentals of Music, (both for gen eds), Spanish Phonetics (which looks like it will be super easy, most of the students in the class have just finished 202... x.o), and then French Conversation (which starts tomorrow so no opinion yet).

    Alright, well, if anyone read this... comment! Please!!! :) Now to reset my ticker...

    Oh! By the way, my friend Kris is getting married in May, and my sister and I are bridesmaids in her wedding. So I wanna lose weight for that. Even though she just ordered me a size 18 dress... David's Bridal said I can exchange it as long as they still carry that dress, and it's new, so they probably will. If not I'll just have to have it taken in I guess.

  • Hello Kitty Freak

    Hey guys. :) As many of you know, I am a Hello Kitty Freak.
    This weekend (Saturday) my sister, some friends and I are going to an anime convention. I don't feel like wearing a cosplay (costume of an anime character) but I am going to dress up as...

    the ULTIMATE HELLO KITTY OBSESSED FREAK.

    Yup. :) Basically, I am going to wear all the Hello Kitty junk I can pile on at once without feeling too hindered, lol.

    So far I am wearing:

    - Red HK t-shirt
    - Blue HK PJ pants
    - Pink HK flip flops OR Black & pink HK slippers (may alternate for comfort)
    - Black HK watch
    - Pink HK slap bracelet
    - 2 HK rings
    - Green HK barrette
    - Red Devil HK necklace
    - 1 HK keychain
    - 3 HK plush keychains
    - 1 HK plush whose arms clip on to... whatever
    - white HK short sleeved hoodie
    - HK socks (possibly, they have holes in the toes so maybe not)

    Additionally, I painted my nails pink, with little HK faces on the thumbs/big toes and "I <3 H K" on the other 4 nails. I will probably draw whiskers on my face, and I am going to carry a blue HK purse that my sister made me. I have like 8 other HK purses but I like this one best 'cause it's big and easy to get in and out of and whatnots.

    Inside the purse:
    - HK water bottle
    - HK wallet
    - HK Nintendo DS case (within which is my pink DS with HK skin and HK headphones)
    - HK change purse
    - HK notepad & pen
    - HK chapstick
    - HK nail clippers
    - HK bandaids
    - HK button (on purse)
    - HK guitar pick (I'm bringing my guitar for funtimes)

    I am thinking of carrying my HK hand puppet with me.
    I have some left over HK Valentines cards, so I am going to 'spread the gospel' of Hello Kitty by handing them out to people and asking them, "Have you found Hello Kitty yet? She loves you!"

    My fingernails are freaking adorable by the way. :) ADORABLE!

    I decided against wearing my bathrobe because it is really hot, covers a lot of the rest of the stuff, and isn't very flattering. Not that being entirely decked out in Hello Kitty is.

    The only thing non-Hello Kitty I will have on my will be my cell phone. My old cell phone had a Hello Kitty faceplate AND phone charms, but my new one has neither interchangable faceplates NOR a place to attach charms! D: But it IS hot pink. I am thinking of slapping on a sticker. The guitar may suffer this fate as well. That wouldn't be a problem if my dad had gotten me that freaking HK guitar for Christmas like I asked! D:<

    Yes, this post is entirely Hello Kitty related. The sad part is, this isn't even half of the Hello Kitty things I own.

    Yay! :D

The Basics

I'm Gigi.
It actually is my real name (or nickname) - my full name is Virginia.
I'm a 19 year old college student.
I'm a Spanish major, minoring in French and also studying Chinese.
I want to be a translator.
I love my languages so you'll see hints of them in here often.
I am going to study abroad in Spain next semester.
I'm very in love with pets and animals.
I'm a little girl inside a grown woman's [fat] body.

The Issue

I've been overweight since I was probably 10 years old.
When I was little my mom used to call me 'Skinny Mini.' Hah.
On Dec. 31, 2006, I made a resolution not to eat fast food.
It turned into starting Weight Watchers.
By May, 2007, I'd lost 30 pounds.
Since then, I've gained over 50 pounds.
I feel awful and frustrated, but I know I can do this again.
My first weight loss Xanga was ginnybug. Please comment if you knew me on there!
I'm 5'3".
