Okay, so I am back again and updating 2 more goals completed from my list!
# 67 Go horse back riding with a friend.
and
# 77 Manage my food portions better.
So this past saturday me and my best friend headed to Hatfield farms to partake in their trail ride and it was a blast! We had a really great time and definately plan on going again. The horses we rode were beautiful! My best friend had this adorable tan colored horse named Dusty, I was riding a huge chestnut brown horse named Bubba (lol) We almost lucked out and had the trail ride to ourselves but another girl and her boyfriend signed up last minute. We were shocked they let her go on the trail ride though because she was wearing short shorts and flip flops!. She regretted it by the end of the ride because her feet and legs were all scratched up. So all in all it was a great time and I can't wait to go again ^^.
Okay, so .. food portions and food managability. I've been doing really good this year since January will really watching what and how much of things I eat. I must be doing someting right because even though i havent been exercising as much as of late because of how fricken hot its been ( I don't do well in the heat, I prefer fall all year round) I'm still losing weight so thats a plus.
But thats it for now, hopefully i'll be able to update some more completed goals soon.

I'm Still Alive!
Hey All,
I've really got to stop disappearing so frequently from posting on my blog.. bad Tasha..Well lets see whats been up since I last updated..
I'm all recovered from surgery and feeling better than I have in a long time, Ive been slowing easing my way back into working out cause I didn't want to overdo it just starting off again and ive been doing pretty good. I'm down to 285lbs now, I had put a few pounds back on with all the health issues but here is hoping that it just keeps going down from here ^^
I've managed to get through quite a few more on my goal list:
#32. Have a better relationship with my father.
- We've been getting along much better lately, We've been talking more and I've seen him more this year than I have the past 3 years combined.
#41. Improve my self esteem/confidence
- I have finally realized that I am me and I am proud to be me. If people don't like it..Too bad for them because I don't care. I've spent too long allowing others to determine my own self worth. Now I do everything for me ^^
#42. Improve my organizational skills
- Spring cleaning was good to me this year, it gave me a chance to cull out and get rid of a lot of crap and I was able to work on my organizational skills. I did pretty well if i say so myself ^^
#66. Try an Authentic Asian cuisine at Japanese/Asian Restaurant ( Hamachi )
- I took my father out for lunch for his birthday and we went to the Hamachi here in Halifax and it was AMAZING. I had wasabi chicken and japanese fried rice and it was to die for! I even ate with chopsticks! Go me!
#69. Get a passport
- Finally after all the hassle getting a copy of my birth certificate I have submitted my passport application! I will have it no later than August 9, 2010 :) YES!
#74. Open a Savings Account and put a minimum of 50.00 a pay there a leave it for a rainy day
- So I now have two savings accounts set up. One is being used to save for a car, once I buy the car that account will be used to save for trip to Japan, my second account is being used to save towards home/condo buying. Hooray.
# 75. Put more into my RRSP’s
- I am now putting 4% into my RRSP's compared to the 3% of last year. Not a huge difference right now, but I will put more in once my debt is paid off.
# 86. Would like to be happy and stress free in a romantic relationship
- I have to admit i am happier than I have ever been in a relationship. Sure we may have rough patches like everyone but I'm not stressed anymore and am happily content ^^
# 88. Buy a new laptop
- I should have updated this one before, but I bought a new Toshiba laptop in May and I love it! My other one is now a paper weight..haha. Naw the boyfriends cousin is trying to get it running again so I can sell it. Even if I only get like..50.00 for it.. its more money than I had.. hahaha!
So that's nine things I managed to complete in the past 2 months!
Hopefully within the next few weeks two more will be gone as well, I should be able to knock off # 67 (horseback riding) hopefully this weekend with my best friend and also #62 ( make it to a 2 year mark in a relationship.) August 8th is our 2 year anniversary :)
I will try to update more frequently ^^; Maybe I should have made that a goal on this list haha

Revived
Hey Everyone,
So I fell of the face of the planet in the blogging world for awhile. Life as usual is crazy. But Im going to try to keep updating on my goal list more frequently since ive been majorly slacking.
I had some health issues for awhile so my weight loss is not as good as I would like to see it at but ive still lost a total of 20lbs so far this year so thats still pretty good. Im down 5 inches from my last measurements so that makes me happy too. Now that im recouped from surgery and slowly starting to feel better (damn medications) Im going to be slowly getting back into my exercises.
I was able to knock another one off my goal list.
"Attend an anime convention"
It was not a big convention by any means just a small one that I attended as a daily event with 2 friends.
Im hoping to go to the 3 day event next year or hopefully someday one of the big conventions somewhere in the US, that would be awesome since they tend to have bigger manga/comic artists there as well as they sometimes have Jrock/Jpop artists from Japan attending and that I would love to see!
Anyways, Hope everyone is off to a good start to the summer season!

River Flows In You
Hey everyone, So I was able to knock another one off my goal list this past week: # 49. Play a full piano score by Yiruma I decided to learn and play a piece by Yiruma titled "River Flows In You" as this has always been my favorite piece by him and I find it an incredibly beautiful and moving piece. I completed this goal while I was on my vacation when a dear friend came to visit. I promised him that he would be the first one to hear it when I was able to play it through and now that I have I consider it a completed goal ^^ So I hope he enjoyed it <3 I tried to record a video of me playing it this morning and am going to provide it here for your viewing/listening pleasure. I apologize for the not so great sound quality.. I think its just about time for a new digital camera ^^; But I hope you all enjoy it anyways ^^ <3 Also, This will not be identical to Yiruma's version as I do play mostly by ear but I think its a good cover ^^
Montly Weight Loss Update!
Hey Everyone!

I'm happy to report that I am now sitting at 292.5 lbs so I lost a total of 5 lbs in the month of February. A total of 18 lbs lost since January 1st 2010! Not as much as I would have liked but thats ok.

So I lost a total of 4 inches this month so thats pretty good as well I think. I'm still very thankful to have the encouragement of some very special people and I know that between my own determination and support that I will get where I want to be <3.

Monthy Weight Loss Update!
Hello everyone!
So on the first of every month I will be updating with how much weight and how many total inches I have lost the month previous.
I'm very excited today because I think I am doing pretty well so far! ^^
On January 1,2010 when I started my weight loss journey for this year I started off at 310.5 lbs... I am very very happy to post that as of this morning I am down to 297lbs!! I lost a total of 13.5 lbs in January and this is making me feeling amazing! In addition to of course the great feeling for the # of lbs I dropped when I measured myself this morning as I also do on the first of each month and I have lost a combined total of 10.5 inches! (The combined inches come from my chest,waist,hips,thighs and calves)
I think that this is a fantastic start to my journey and will keep working hard to make the same progress each month ^^
I'm really hoping to average losing about 10 lbs a month which would be the 2-3 lbs per week that they say is healthy weight loss. If I can achieve this each month I have the potential to lose 120 lbs this year! Which would put me at a weight of 190.5 ^^ I know it is not going to be an easy road but I am lucky to have the support of some amazing people who keep encouraging me <3 I look forward to continuing to update with my progress ^^
Thanks!
