.saw.6

guess what were doing tonight?

IM SO EXCITED.

when Tay and I first met we rented all five saw movies....and watched them all in about 12 hours. see, the first four were rented for seven nights.... but saw five was a new release (at the time) and we only had it for 2 nights!

I love scary movies!

I hear THIS one....is SUPER scary, like....gross scary, but im still excited!

i'll let you know how it is!

space cadet and .photo.shoots.

lately, im feeling like a BIT of a

... space cadet?

SO... sorry. i've been...

.busy.

to say the least.

lets see, to list a few things that have happened since I last blogged....

the diet fell off the tracks

BUT

ive been working my landscaping job pretty steady so ive maintained. not... gained. but still.

boo.

i got a job at the MONGOLI GRILL serving, well, I just started today, it will be

.interesting.

Im waiting to hear back from The GOODLIFE FITNESS club thats opening right away here, but now im worried. I think I need a better job.

Goodlife's pay is SURPRISINGLY low... not enough for a sugar mamma trying to get her husband through school... but its like my DREAM to work at a gym. (ya Becka, im jealous)

again. .boo.

Tay is still working hard on school, he's a smart guy, seriously.

and well

.Thats.my.life.

but on the side I am still doing what I seriously LOVE to do

TAKING PICTURES!

here is a shoot I did with a family from Edmonton - it was a MISERABLE day to take pictures. seriously. but they were a hilarious family, and I like how they turned out!

here are a few.

and then, one I was really EXCITED to do ever since I heard that this awesome girl from my classic job was MAYBE getting engaged! ha ha engagement photos! my FAVORITE thing to do!

here are a few!

my next major photography feat?

to buy this lens

its called the

Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8 L USM Lens

and, like that huge name makes any sense.

all you need to know

.its.awesome.

and its 1500 dollars.

christmas? birthdays? valentines days?...for the next 5 years?? PLEASE? ha ha

jk

i'll get there, im putting the money I get from shoots away. ha ha

this will be a long road.

.savior.

The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I´m down on my knees and I know that something is missing.
Because the back of my mind is holding things I´m relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I´m always denying them.

I´m a bit of a manic when it´s not as I plan itCause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?

I don´t want to know

.I need a savior.

so lately has been .ROUGH.

work is fine, life is....fine. I love my husband, I love my marriage and bieng married to my bestest best friend...

but im struggling with some BAD LUCK lately.

and its totally

.throwing.my.CHI.

so on Saturday afternoon I started having some pains on my right side, I sucked it up and went to work at Mongolie Grill anyways, but it started getting worse, and worse...and AAARGH! I was in the most intense pain of my LIFE.

that night I went to the hospital, and was there all night, this sounds gross, but I started peeing BLOOD um, YUCK? - my sweet Tay was there practically the whole time, he even pulled some chairs together and slept beside me as I cried and squeeled in pain for probably 6 hours on a hospital emergency bed. - after a long time the doctor came in and told me I had a very severe kidney infection. and I later found out I had eaten the ecoli bacteria! GROSS!

gross

gross

GROSS!

but after I got my first round on IV from the emergency, they sent me home...but not without some baggage... - I had an IV STUCK in my arm fort he next 4 days - they would just unplug the IV and wrap the needle up in a bandage at my elbow and send me off

feeling like

POOP

no im just on some steady anti-biotics...and feeling much better,

I even got to go back to

WORK!

im having a lot of fun working for GoodLife! its a good atmosphere.

but im still feeling sick lately

im starting to gain weight...

(NOT PREGNANT) lol

but im just generally unhealthy...

HURRY AND OPEN brand new fitness club!

gah

.x.x.

.R.

I almost forgot. Beckas always right.

FALL IS HERE!

BUT....its 34 degrees outside?

um

...just go with it. ;)

quick breakdown of my points for today.

.Becka.was.right. (of course) when she said:

Becks said...

Hey, this is the Weight Watchers police phoning.Eat all your points. Or you'll blow i

tomorrow or the next day and start shoving cookies, jellybeans and ice cream in your mouth as fast as you can at some point.
Ahem*

NOT A TRUE STORY. (They were all the kids lunch snacks I was shoving.....fruit snacks, Dunkaroos, the like.)Trust me on this one.

PS. I calculated your points allowance on the new program and you're to eat 22 a day to keep your metabolism running. Eat a mars bar for Pete's sake

I didn't listen....

I started off SO GOOD

I made a salad for lunch with a homeade balsamic vinegar and oil dressing that only worked out to

-2 points!

and I gave myself a point for this one - domestication and I are TIED!

yesssssssssss

anyways.

I added an egg for protien

-2 points

and I packed a diet drink - 0

a hot drink for breakfast was

- 1 point

I packed some cantelope to eat while I was working - 2 points

so I was at - 7 points for the day

I got off work at about 4 to go to our cousins cabin to go on their boat. I didnt wakeboard (duh)

but it was a BEAUTIFUL night to go out and do ANYTHING.

so

I just took pictures!

BUT

THE KILLER

I couldnt get home to make anything to eat before we came

and they brought pizza.

and NOT just any pizza.

stuffed crust - fat out your EARS pizza.

and I ate 2 pieces.

sigh.

10 points.

each.

the good thing is I only went over my WW points target by 5 points - thats what flex points are for...right?

I will do better tomorrow.

actually.

it is tomorrow!

ah!

I have to pack my lunch!

xx

day one dieter

so, today was -

//.MY FIRST DAY ON THE OLD DIET GAME.\\

.crap.

so I woke up extra early this morning to make my lunch.

and growing up in the family I did, I counted points.

and since I told you all I was doing this.

here is my breakdown of Weight Watchers

\\/.points.\//

I made a whole wheat wrap with tons of veggies, red pepper, pickes, lettuce ect.

wrap - 3 points

veggies - 0

to give it some FLAVOR - (come on now)

I added some cheese

cheese - 2

I packed some fruit to keep my "im so bored" eating habbits in check.

I had a diet crush with my lunch - diet coke gets a little tiresome...( sorry Lisa!)

its really good!

all you diet drink junkies---try it!

2 pomegranites and one apple - 3 - that all made up my oh-so-healthy

.LUNCH!.

work went well today...

my wonderful student hubby made me a healthy dinner!

4 ounces chicken- 5 points

green beans - 0!

mexiacan soda - 4 points (we went for dinner with sar and fra to a mexican place last night and brought a couple home! (good thing the diet starts today!...or was it supposed to be yesterday....

dont judge me)

so all that jazz I ate today adds up to a satifactory

17 POINTS!

.fair enough.

untill tomorrow!

R: 4 // D: 3 - .photos.fatty.and .one.year.since-es.

so .first.things.first.

the battle between .DOMESTICATION. + .RACHEL CAMPBELL. - (to find out about it, check out my old post...)

the score stands at

.domestication: 3

Rachel:2

I haven't won the battle yet...but like....im not THAT far off...right?

anyways.... I tried to make pancakes again today. chocolate chip...

I.GOT.A.THUMBS.UP. from Dr. C!

.success!.

.anyways.

this is a post of plenty of .PICTURES.

I got my loving hubby to come out and let me take a few .vanity.pictures. of him!

golly I got a handsome man on my hands!!

.get this.

we found this really sweet wall downtown and I got .so.excited!. we pulled over and Taylor said

Rach...were not stopping here...

//why???\\

well...look out your window honey...

- outside was this homeless guy....standing on a bench with a steak knife. trying to...I dont know...OPEN his backpack or something...by sawing away at it?

by gosh, no matter how hard I tried I couldnt convince Tay to get out of that car!

oh well. I got a few nice ones anyways.

speaking of nice ones,

I had to agree with this one that my sister becka looks like a LULU model in this photo! my "skinny sister" is my motivation - shout out to her...im going to need her!

.BECAUSE.

while looking over old pictures today I found this one from my marathon days

I weighed approximately 10 pounds less than I do right now...kill me, Marriage has been so kind in so many ways...

not that one.

ha ha ha - so since im not totally feeling like running another marathon right NOW... (im working a lot and cant run... 10 hour days 6 days a week gets me a little tired) I know I know, im a big whiner. but I decided to try and REALLY loose that 10 pounds....

diet.time

I will keep track on here of how im doing too - and my little "plan" okay?

.so.I.JUST.WEIGHED.MYSELF.

sunday sept 20 //8:30pm\\ - 140lbs

of course I will probably weigh and report what I weigh in the morning...so that might change lol

so as I was going through my old photos i thought back to this time last year...

.wow. - I did alot last year - her is a letter I wrote on my old blog - reminding me of what I went through. how much I accomplished, how much I lost, how much I cried.

\\ I went here //
and I went .HERE.

by the end of last year, I was running from everyone and everything in my life. when I went to Ireland I came back and barely showed my face before I left for South America. when i came home from there at the beginning of this year I was reluctant to show my face.

but I was confident in change when I came back

- and .woah.

.this year has been one of the best in my life.

i will cover the rest in another blog, maybe its time to write another letter to this year.

.x.x.

.R.

goodbye Avril .HELLO. - Angie!

.most.important.things.first.

those who know me....know .THIS. - is my favorite celeb....well .USED.TO.BE.

Avril Lavigne is getting DIVORCED! <--- CHECK OUT THIS LINK to read more. i was sad....this girl was like my role model while I was going through my little...well...avril-time. in high school.... LOL I dressed like her, wrote songs like her....angsted (?) like....her...

.anyways.

.equally controversial. - differently - ha ha ha

anyways...

i got off work at 2 today, it felt .SO.NICE.

and I had plans,

something I have wanted to do since moving to this awful city...

go to the WEM - WATERPARK!

and we did!

it took a little "convincing" to get my tired husband to spend the ridiculous amount of money that it takes t get in ( THE LOCKERS....WERE 7 DOLLARS)

...but like...

these waterslides

are AWESOME!!!

we went down all of them twice. ha ha the blue bullet is by far my favorite, it is fast and totally IN THE DARK.

it was a good day tho

tinted with sadness about Avril and her hunny....lol!
